After all, even though the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid was a defective product, it was still very valuable.
Thousand Hands Old Xian's behavior was really infuriating.
Su Yu took the jade box and looked at him calmly. He then turned around and left without uttering a single word.
He wasn't worried that the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid would be unknown. After all, as long as someone was patient enough to examine it, they would be able to discover its true medicinal power, which was the tempering of one's soul.
This was a spirit elixir that could make people go crazy!
Since the Tianya Auction House didn't have such a discerning eye, Su Yu decided to just send it to the other three auction houses.
As long as he could make the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid famous, it didn't matter who he sold it to.
Su Yu wore a calm expression as he walked out of the stone house.
Sha 'er, who was waiting beside him, asked delightedly, "Old mister, did your spirit elixir pass the appraisal?"
None of the martial artists who had come out of Thousand Hands Old Xian's stone house were as calm as Su Yu.
Su Yu shook his head. "Thousand Hands Old Xian has a high standard, and the spirit liquid I took out couldn't catch his eye."
Sha 'er's pretty face darkened. She forced a smile and comforted Su Yu. "It's all my fault. If I had taken you to another appraiser, you might have gotten a better result."
Su Yu had a good impression of this young girl, so he threw her a small pouch and said, "You have done your best. I will go to the other auction houses."
Sha 'er subconsciously grabbed the small pouch and opened it. Ten sparkling crystals were squeezed together.
"Ah! Old mister, you … "Sha 'er was startled, and her body shivered.
"It's a reward for your hard work." Su Yu waved his hand at her and left the auction house.
As a shop assistant, it was not that she had never heard of generous cultivators who would reward the maidservants they served. However, they would usually reward them with crystal shards. Complete crystal shards were very rare. Only outstanding shop assistants who had come into contact with important customers would have the opportunity to reward ten crystal shards in one go.
Sha 'er was pleasantly surprised. She knew that she had run into a generous person, so she quickly chased after him and accompanied him to the Tianya Auction House.
"Old mister, thank you for your reward. I will never forget it." Sha 'er's eyes were filled with gratitude.
Su Yu shook his head with a smile. "Crystals are just worldly possessions, so you don't need to care about them. By the way, which of the other three auction houses is run by the Red Blood Palace?"
After all, he was still a disciple of the Red Blood Palace, and he wouldn't be bullied in the Red Blood Palace's auction house.
Sha 'er quickly said, "It's the Scarlet Blood Auction House. It's not far from here. I'll take you there."
Su Yu smiled and pointed at the leaflets in her hand, which she had yet to finish distributing. "You should attend to your own matters first. We will meet again someday."
With that, he disappeared into the sea of people.
In the Tianya Auction House's rear hall, it was noon, and the appraisers had to rest.
However, the appraisers couldn't relax, because it was time for the great appraisers to patrol and inspect treasures during working days.
The Great Appraiser would enter the stone houses one by one to question them personally.
Therefore, this was the most nervous moment for all the Horizon appraisers.
If the Grand Appraiser was displeased, he had the authority to fire the appraiser who failed to meet his requirements.
The Great Appraiser had a very good reputation, and other auction houses would rarely take in appraisers who were fired by him. It was almost as if he could cut off an ordinary appraiser's livelihood in Tianya City with just one sentence.
At this moment, all the appraisers were on high alert as they waited for the grand appraiser to arrive.
The same was true for Thousand Hands Old Xian. He sat upright and still, and tried his best to put on a serious and attentive look.
Creak —
When the stone house opened, Thousand Hands Old Xian's heart tightened. The great appraiser had come to his place.
"Thousand Hands, how is it? Have you found any valuable items for sale? "An old man with white hair and a youthful complexion walked into the room. His eyes were very sharp.
Thousand Hands Old Xian promptly stood up and said in a meticulous manner, "Reporting to Great Appraiser, there is currently no item of high value. This subordinate is incompetent."
The old man helplessly shook his head. "Thousand Hands, I know that you have high standards and disdain for ordinary items, but if there is a good item, then just muddle through. Recently, the auction house has been a bit sluggish, and there is a lack of high quality items."
Qian Shou said stubbornly, "Great Appraiser, I think that ordinary goods aren't qualified to enter our Tianya Auction House, and this is an insult to us. So, I think that it's better to have nothing than to have something substandard. I believe that as long as it's truly valuable, it won't be able to escape my eyes. "
The old man stared at Thousand Hands and nodded. It seemed like he agreed with him.
Even though this person was arrogant, he was really skilled, but he was too stubborn.
The old man didn't try to persuade him any further, and he just nodded and left with his hands clasped behind his back.
The stone house's door opened, and a cool breeze blew into it, sweeping away the room's aura.
The great appraiser, who had just reached the door's threshold, suddenly stopped, and his nostrils flared. Surprise flickered in his eyes, and he couldn't help but stop. He stared at Thousand Hands Old Xian and faintly smiled. "Thousand Hands, did you plan to wait until the evening patrol to give me this surprise?"
Thousand Hands Old Xian was taken aback, and he asked in confusion, "Great Appraiser, please speak frankly."
The great appraiser couldn't help but laugh heartily. "Do you think that you can hide it from me? There is an unfamiliar elixir's fragrance in this room, and it's a brand new elixir's fragrance that I've never seen before. Moreover, I discovered that it seems to have a slight effect on my soul. Quickly take it out! I've been appraising elixirs for dozens of years, and this isn't the first time that I've seen an elixir that can strengthen one's soul. However, I've only seen it twice, and all of those elixirs are precious and heaven-defying, peerless grade elixirs that even All Creation Old Monsters would fight over. "
"You unexpectedly received such an elixir?" The great appraiser's eyes shone with a bright light.
Thousand Hands Old Xian was startled when he heard this. This was an elixir that could strengthen one's soul. He had been an appraiser for more than a hundred years, and he had only seen such elixirs in ancient books. Such elixirs were extremely rare, and it was difficult to find them in this world. So, how could they appear in his stone house?
"Great Appraiser, are you joking with me? If I really found such an elixir, I would have reported it to you, "Thousand Hands Old Xian said in surprise.
The great appraiser's smile stiffened, and he stared at Thousand Hands Old Xian with narrowed eyes. "Thousand Hands, did you embezzle such an elixir?"
It wasn't as if something like this hadn't happened before. When an appraiser discovered that a martial artist's treasure was extremely precious, he would covet it and take it for himself. If such a matter was discovered, the Tianya Auction House would surely kill him.
The great appraiser was quite confident in his sense of smell, but Thousand Hands Old Xian was acting suspiciously.
Thousand Hands Old Xian was startled, and he knelt down on one knee as he said, "I don't dare to do such a thing. Great Appraiser, I'm willing to cooperate with you and conduct a body search. "
The great appraiser was startled by this, and when he saw that Thousand Hands Old Xian didn't seem to be putting on an act, he was flabbergasted.
All of a sudden, his gaze fell on a pile of miscellaneous items beside the stone table, and it seemed as if he had discovered something. He quickly took two steps forward and swept his gaze around the room. His gaze then fixed on two drops of purple liquid that were about to dry up. His eyes shone as he said, "It's this thing!"
Thousand Hands Old Xian followed his gaze, and he was at first bewildered, but he was soon horrified and bewildered.
The great appraiser pinched a trace of the dried liquid with his finger and placed it before his nose. He sniffed it, and a comfortable feeling transmitted from the depths of his soul. His soul started to float, and it even faintly felt as if it had become more solid.
"It's this! It's an ancient elixir, the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid! It's purple, and it's an ancient elixir that can strengthen one's soul and cultivation at the same time! "The great appraiser's eyes were filled with shock, and he was visibly moved.
Even though he didn't have such an elixir's recipe, he was still familiar with its description.
"What? The Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid! "Thousand Hands Old Xian, who also knew about this famous elixir, turned pale with fright.
What? The great appraiser's expression was ice-cold, and he suddenly turned around and said, "Tell me, where is the elixir? If you don't hand it over, I'll send you to the Punishment Hall immediately, and your life will no longer be in your hands there! "
Plop!
Thousand Hands Old Xian was so scared that his legs turned to jelly, and his face became as pale as a sheet of paper. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Great appraiser, please have mercy on me! I, I really didn't hide the elixir! "
"Humph! I think you won't shed a tear until you see your coffin! How dare you be greedy for such a thing! Guards! "The great appraiser sneered.
At this moment, Thousand Hands Old Xian didn't dare to hide anything, and with a sad face, he said, "I, I've returned the elixir, and that customer took it and left!"
"What?" The great appraiser was shocked, and he suspected that Thousand Hands Old Xian was lying. He had rejected such a heaven-defying ancient elixir as a substandard one!
Thousand Hands Old Xian said hurriedly, "This matter is absolutely true! He was brought back by a maidservant, and the maidservant can testify whether or not he successfully consigned the elixir for sale!"
The great appraiser was startled and angered. "You can't do anything right! You unexpectedly misjudged an ancient elixir! You will have to re-evaluate your ability later! "
At this moment, Thousand Hands Old Xian felt miserable. He was proud and arrogant, and he felt that his appraisal techniques were outstanding, so it was inevitable that he would be careless in his appraisal.
In all these years, no treasure had ever flown away from his hands, but today, he had been careless, and he had misjudged an extremely precious ancient spirit elixir.
As he thought of this, he regretted his actions. If he had been slightly more serious, he would have been able to discern that the purple elixir in the jade box was the legendary ancient spirit elixir, the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid!
This was all because of his carelessness!
Even if this matter was forgotten, it would still leave a dark history in the Tianya Auction House's records.
Although the Tianya Auction House wouldn't fire an appraiser just because of a single mistake, his reputation would still be tarnished in the future!
"When did that person leave?" The great appraiser, who had witnessed the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid's shocking effects, wasn't willing to give up.
Thousand Hands Old Xian's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly, "One hour ago!"
"Where did he go?" The great appraiser looked at him with a threatening gaze.
A bitter expression appeared on Thousand Hands Old Xian's face, and he wondered … How could I possibly know? However, just after this, a thought occurred to him, and he said, "Oh, that's right! The maidservant who brought him here might know about it! When the stone house was opened, I saw her leading him out!"
The great appraiser's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Which maidservant was it? Do you remember her? "
Thousand Hands Old Xian nodded repeatedly, "I remember! That maidservant came here very diligently, and she often brought people here. I think her name is Sha 'er!"
The great appraiser's expression changed, and he said, "Hurry up and summon Sha 'er!"
