He had thought of many ways to deal with the situation, and he was confident that the other party would not be able to discern his true identity.
However, he had forgotten about the timing of the incident.
Given that the incident had occurred earlier, it went without saying that the appraiser who had arrived today was the greatest suspect.
"There are four of us here today. They are Wu Tao from Kaiyong City, Mo Fei from Huhaicheng City …"
The middle-aged guard took out a name list and took a look at it. "The four of you, step forward!"
Zhang Xuan stepped forward.
The more guilty he was, the easier it would be for him to be exposed. Since that was the case, he might as well face the matter calmly.
In any case, his current identity as Wu Tao was clean, so he did not have to fear being investigated.
"You all arrived today?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling slowly walked up and swept his gaze across the four of them, but he did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
His gaze paused for a moment on Zhang Xuan, but he did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
Noticing the wary looks on the appraisers' faces, Ancient Sage Mo Ling quickly scanned the surroundings and explained, "That's right.
"There's no need to worry. We are currently looking for a spy who has infiltrated Sovereign Chen Ling's palace. As long as you don't harbor any ill intentions, you need not worry. "
Hearing that they were looking for a spy, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief.
While they could be a little greedy at times, they were true appraisers. They had nothing to do with a spy.
Ancient Sage Mo Ling took in everyone's expressions, but he did not notice anything amiss either. The frown on his forehead deepened as he continued, "The spy is a soul oracle, so it's unlikely that his soul and body are compatible with one another. This is an artifact that detects the compatibility between one's soul and body. As long as you take a look down there, you'll be able to determine his true identity! "
After saying those words, he flicked his finger, and a ball appeared in the air. It spun on the spot, emanating a brilliant glow.
"The four who have just arrived today, why don't you take a look first?"
After saying those words, he turned to Zhang Xuan and the others.
"Alright!"
An appraiser stepped forward from the crowd.
The middle-aged guard had called out a name earlier, and it was Mo Fei.
He walked up to the ball, and his body was shrouded in a brilliant glow.
Weng!
A row of numbers appeared on the ball.
Ninety-four!
"A compatibility of over ninety means that he isn't a soul oracle. You're dismissed. Next!"
The middle-aged guard said.
Under normal circumstances, a person's spirit and body would be the most compatible the moment they were born, and they would basically reach a hundred. However, as one cultivated, the primordial spirit would leave the body, and the soul would undergo a transformation, and there would be a situation where the fusion wasn't too good.
Even so, as long as the other party wasn't a soul oracle, his compatibility with the soul oracles would easily exceed ninety.
Mo Fei wasn't surprised to see that it wasn't him. He turned around and walked back.
Then, the second appraiser walked over.
Ninety-two!
He also met the conditions.
Third place, 96!
It was Zhang Xuan's turn.
He took a deep breath and walked over as well.
As there were no soul oracles on the Master Teacher Continent, Zhang Xuan had never seen or tested this artifact before. As such, he had no idea what his soul compatibility with his body was. However, as a cultivator of the Heaven's Path Divine Art, even though his soul was able to leave his body, his compatibility with his body should still be on par with that of an ordinary cultivator.
When he arrived at the bottom of the sphere, his body was immediately enveloped by a warm light.
Hu!
A line of words appeared at the top.
One hundred!
"Hmm? Perfect compatibility? "
Ancient Sage Mo Ling and the middle-aged guard were taken aback.
A hundred was a perfect compatibility. Usually, such a situation would only occur with cultivators below Saint 5-dan. Considering that the young man's cultivation had already reached Saint 7-dan, how could he still have such a high compatibility with his body?
"The fact that his soul and body are perfectly compatible with one another means that it's impossible for his soul to leave his body.
Ancient Sage Mo Ling shook his head.
As perplexed as he was, there were all kinds of geniuses in the world. It wasn't surprising for such a phenomenon to occur.
After all, the person whom he was fighting with was a true soul oracle. How could a soul oracle possibly possess such a perfect compatibility with his body?
"Let's continue with the examination."
Ancient Sage Mo Ling had already examined all four appraisers, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Thus, he could only wave his hand and continue with the examination.
Soon, he was done with the two hundred or so appraisers in the room.
Not a single one of them had a compatibility lower than ninety.
In other words, just like what he had heard previously, there were no soul oracles among them.
"Could I have guessed wrongly?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling frowned deeply.
Ancient Sage Mo Ling couldn't help but feel a little perplexed.
The personnel of Sovereign Chen Ling's palace had gone through innumerable checks, so there was no way that there would be a traitor among them. Since it wasn't these appraisers, where in the world did the soul oracle come from?
"Ancient Sage Mo Ling, what do we do now?"
Seeing that the middle-aged guard was unable to find anything even after a long time, he turned to Ancient Sage Mo Ling and asked, "Ancient Sage Mo Ling, what do we do now?"
"Let them appraise the artifacts first. Right, bring me the results of their appraisals! "
Ancient Sage Mo Ling said with a wave of his hand.
"Alright!"
The middle-aged guard arranged for the appraisers to continue appraising the artifacts. At the same time, he took out the results from the boxes and handed it over.
"The prices appraised by these appraisers are very close to one another. There are only a few that are slightly off."
Seeing that Ancient Sage Mo Ling was reading through the contents of the cards, the middle-aged guard chuckled.
Those who had cleared the examination were likely the cream of the crop among the appraisers, so it wasn't too difficult for them to discern the true value of ordinary ores and medicinal herbs.
"The Falling Star Rock. Based on the results of the appraisers, the most accurate price is 120 pinnacle spirit stones. The Frigid Water Rock is 250 pinnacle spirit stones. "
The middle-aged guard went through the prices of each artifact in detail.
Ancient Sage Mo Ling nodded. He quickly scanned through the answers of the appraisers before suddenly coming to a halt. "Appraiser Wu Tao's answers are actually so accurate?"
Even if the quality of the ores was the same, the difference in size, color, and origin would result in a world of difference in price. The middle-aged guard had obtained the average price based on the results of the appraisers of the two hundred appraisers.
It was extremely accurate.
It was one thing for an ordinary appraiser to be able to produce an accurate answer by chance, but for Wu Tao to produce five ores and eight medicinal herbs in a row, all of them matching the standard answer, even Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little perplexed.
I'm also perplexed by this as well. Perhaps, he's just an expert in appraising! "
The middle-aged guard said with a smile.
"That's a possibility as well. Could Wu Tao be the one who achieved a Soul Flesh Compatibility of 100 earlier?"
A glint flashed across Ancient Sage Mo Ling's eyes.
Appraisers were able to appraise artifacts and determine their prices, but that was only a rough estimate. Surely it wasn't possible for them to be able to do it so accurately?
To be able to appraise more than a dozen artifacts without the slightest difference in spirit stones was already an astounding feat.
Not to mention, the other party's Soul Flesh Compatibility had reached a bizarre 100%!
"Yes!" The middle-aged guard also didn't notice anything wrong.
"Bring me Appraiser Wu Tao's information as well!"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling's eyebrows shot up.
