Even though Sha 'er didn't think highly of Su Yu, she still treated him kindly.
Her status in the Tianya Auction House was quite low, and she was only qualified to distribute flyers on the street. She also tried to rope in martial artists who consigned their treasures for sale.
The Tianya Auction House was the biggest auction house in the city, and countless martial artists came here to consign their items every day. Usually, people who possessed precious treasures would enter Tianya City directly, and it was rare for them to be roped in like Su Yu.
This was the reason why the Tianya Auction House rarely took a fancy to the martial artists it recruited.
Sha 'er's actions of trying to rope in martial artists blindly didn't bring her any rewards, and she would only get one crystal as a reward from the auction house once or twice a year.
Even so, Sha 'er still enjoyed it, and she persisted.
After all, a single crystal was a great fortune for a poor person like her.
"Old mister, it's great that you're confident. Even if you can't satisfy the appraiser, please don't be discouraged, as there are three other auction houses in the city that aren't any smaller than ours, and you might be able to try your luck there." Sha 'er pursed her lips into a faint smile.
Tianya City was vast, and there was obviously more than one auction house.
Apart from the Tianya Auction House, there were three other auction houses from the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands and the Central Prefecture. Even though they weren't as good as the Tianya Auction House, they were still first-class auction houses.
As for the Tianya Auction House's background, it was quite mysterious, and no one knew its origins. But, since it was able to occupy Tianya City, it was obvious that it had a powerful background.
"Hehe." Su Yu chuckled. He was quite confident in the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid, and he believed that it wouldn't disappoint him.
After an hour, Sha 'er led Su Yu into the auction house's rear palace and to a row of stone houses.
There was a long queue in front of each stone house, and a shopkeeper like Sha 'er was leading a martial artist into the stone house.
"Every stone house has an appraiser, and he is quite experienced. He has appraised countless treasures in his life, so he rarely makes a mistake. After martial artists enter one of the houses, they will state their reason for coming here and present their items to them for appraisal. As long as they approve of it, they will submit it to our great appraiser for a final appraisal. If the great appraiser approves of it, they will be able to walk onto the auction stage. On the auction stage, the price of an item will often be raised by more than 30%. Every martial artist hopes that their treasure will be chosen. "
Sha 'er chose a stone house with fewer people and waited quietly. She lowered her voice and said, "Let's appraise the items in front of this appraiser. Most appraisers don't have good tempers. When we enter the house, we must not anger them. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome."
Appraisers were usually haughty and haughty, as they knew things that ordinary people didn't know about, and they felt that they were superior to others. Moreover, the Tianya Auction House added a halo to their statuses, and it was inevitable that their tempers were bad.
"I understand." Su Yu expressed his understanding.
This wait lasted for another hour. The appraiser in this stone house was very fast, almost twice as fast as other appraisers.
Judging from the expressions of the cultivators who walked out, none of them looked good. Some of them even looked angry. Clearly, they had been bullied.
"This appraiser seems easy to get along with." Su Yu revealed a faint smile.
Sha 'er furrowed her beautiful brows and said, "Such a fast appraisal technique. Don't tell me that we've encountered the Thousand-Hand Old Immortal?"
When Su Yu saw Sha 'er's odd expression, he asked, "Is there a problem with this Thousand-Hand Old Immortal?"
Sha 'er shook her head hesitantly. "There isn't a problem. It's just that the Thousand-Hand Old Immortal is famous for his high standards. Few of the treasures appraised by him are chosen by him. In fact, there are some treasures that might be chosen by other appraisers, but they won't stand a chance in his hands."
She then added, "Many cultivators hate him. I came here in a hurry, so I didn't ask him about it in time. Let's change to another appraiser."
Sha 'er bit her lip. In her eyes, Su Yu's elixir-type treasures wouldn't be chosen by any appraiser.
However, she still tried her best to think for Su Yu's sake.
"Hehe, Miss Sha 'er, you are too considerate. It's good that Thousand-Hand Old Immortal took a fancy to it, but it doesn't matter even if he didn't. It's my fault that my treasures aren't as good as his." Su Yu shook his head with a faint smile.
"Next!" The stone house's door was opened, and a youth, whose face was filled with anger and humiliation, walked out.
Su Yu smiled at Sha 'er and said, "Wait for me for a moment."
After he spoke, he strode into the stone house.
The stone house's door was then closed, and a seal was cast upon it. This way, the outside world wouldn't be able to see what was happening inside the stone house.
The stone house was brightly lit, and it was brighter than the outside world.
A sharp-faced old man was sitting casually in front of a stone table. He looked at Su Yu coldly and spoke mechanically, "Take out the item you want to sell."
Such a stiff attitude wasn't good for him.
It was easy to see elixir powders and ingredients scattered around the stone table. There were many precious items among them.
It seemed like some treasures had been swept away by brute force and had been scattered around by accident.
Su Yu nodded, then quietly took out a jade box from his pocket. It was purple, and it was beautiful.
It was the failed Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid, and it could be considered a defective product. It didn't even have 60 percent of the medicinal power of a successful product.
"This is the item I want to sell. It's a liquid elixir. Please have a look at it." Su Yu placed it on the stone table.
Thousand-Hand Old Immortal furrowed his brows when he heard that it was a liquid elixir. He then said, "How dare you bring a liquid elixir to the Tianya Auction House? I despise people who try to rely on their luck the most. "
Su Yu didn't get angry, and he just stood calmly at the side, ignoring his complaints.
Even though Thousand-Hand Old Immortal was complaining, he still carried out his duty and opened the jade box to examine its medicinal power.
As soon as it was opened, a fragrant smell that refreshed one's soul assaulted their nostrils.
Thousand-Hand Old Immortal furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "A liquid elixir that can nourish one's mind and calm one's mind?"
The defective elixir's fragrance wasn't pure, and if one didn't examine it carefully, they would just assume that it was something that could nourish one's mind. It was only when one examined it carefully that they discovered that the elixir's fragrance affected one's soul.
Thousand-Hand Old Immortal expressionlessly took out a drop of the liquid elixir and placed it on a precise magical artifact to examine it. After a long while, he said, "It also has a medicinal power that can increase a middle-stage Fairy's cultivation. Judging from its combination, it can nourish one's mind and calm one's mind, while it can also increase one's cultivation. It's a compound elixir."
He was able to discern the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid's dual medicinal powers in a short time, so he wasn't a mediocre person.
However, his examination method was too hasty, and he didn't examine the elixir's fragrance deeply.
In the end, it was because he looked down on Su Yu's Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid that he didn't examine it carefully. It was no wonder that his examination speed was twice as fast as other appraisers.
"Judging from its combination, it's a middle-grade spirit elixir that can increase one's cultivation. It also has other effects, and it's pretty good among elixirs of the same grade." Thousand-Hand Old Immortal raised his head and spoke calmly, "However, you still dare to take a defective elixir that failed to be refined and appraised by me?"
"Take your things and get lost!" Thousand-Hand Old Immortal snorted disdainfully, then waved his sleeves and swept away the jade box on the stone table.
Anger flickered in Su Yu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he managed to catch the jade box in time.
Even though he managed to catch it, two drops of it still splashed out and fell on the stone table, which was filled with miscellaneous items.
It was only now that Su Yu understood why there were so many precious materials and elixir powders scattered around his stone table.
He also finally understood why so many people had left in anger.
