Chapter 76 Tortoise Shell Fragments
The old appraiser's surname is Zhang. He was in the foundation-building period and is currently the chief appraiser of Yichuan Auction House. He has seven or eight appraisers under his supervision.
Master Zhang was very optimistic about Lin Shan's appraisal talent and directly recommended him to the big boss of the auction house, the Jindanqi elder of the Yichuan Internal Affairs Bureau, Zuo Zhenren!
As a newbie in the qi training stage, Lin Shan just followed the guide in a daze. When he saw an expert in the golden elixir stage for the first time, he was as frightened as if he was in a dream.
Currently in the cabinet on the fifth floor of the auction house, there is an old man with no eyebrows sitting at the top. He has black hair reaching his waist, thick eyelids, brown spots on his face, and a weathered look on his face. He is playing with two ordinary stars in his hand Black iron ball.
But Lin Shan could feel the faint gravity of these two iron balls, which seemed to affect him at the bottom of the steps, giving him a faint tendency to kneel down.
"Supernatural power is revealed, a magic weapon!"
The magic weapon that can only be used by a real person in the Jindan stage has terrifying and supernatural powers that cannot be compared with the magic weapon at all.
However, the Zuo Zhenren in front of him was quite amiable. Perhaps he encouraged Lin Shan for the sake of Mr. Zhang, the appraisal master.
"Yes, there is a glimmer of hope for foundation building in the later stages of Qi training when you are less than twenty years old."
Although Zuo Zhenren has no eyebrows and his face looks a little cold at first glance, his words are warm and kind, like a kind and honest elder.
Lin Shan quickly bowed and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm so flattering."
Generally, when a monk refines a golden elixir, he can be respectfully called the True Lord of the Golden Elixir; and when he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he can be called the True Monarch of the Nascent Soul.
These are all honorifics. In the past, Lin Shan had no access to nature and had no use for them. Now in front of the Jin Dan Patriarch, of course, he would not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Zuo Zhenren nodded slightly: "I heard from Mr. Zhang that you are a wizard in the appraisal industry and are expected to succeed him, so I will give you a test."
After speaking, the golden light on the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist flashed, and three things fell in front of Lin Shan. Apparently Zuo Zhenren's storage instrument was no longer the storage bag used by ordinary people, but the Buddha chain on his hand.
Of course, it is also possible to store magic weapons, but with Lin Shan's vision, it is naturally impossible to guess the worth of Jin Dan.
Lin Shan respectfully took the three brocade boxes and saw Mr. Zhang, the appraisal master next to him, with an encouraging look on his face. He immediately knew that this was an opportunity to show his face in front of the Jin Dan Patriarch, and he must not miss it.
After biting his mouth, Lin Shan swallowed deeply, reached out to open the first brocade box and touched it lightly with his hand, and the reinforced panel popped out.
【South China Sea Shark Pearl】
Quality: Level 4 spiritual object
Introduction: The golden elixir of the South China Sea is transformed into the tears of the sharks, and can be used as medicine or to refine weapons.
Strengthening requirements: 64 points
……
Lin Shan's little heart trembled, secretly shouting, "Fuck!"
The classification of spiritual objects in the world of cultivation is relatively hazy, unlike the benchmarking system for exercises, magic weapons, and elixirs.
Materials, such as acquired or innate things, depend on the cultivation level of the acquired soul, as well as the age, environment and variation of the innate materials, etc. There is no definite statement at all.
Just like this South China Sea shark bead, whether it is the tears of a shark at the golden elixir stage or the tears of a shark at the Qi training stage, there is a complete difference in comparison.
If it weren't for the reinforced panel, he wouldn't even be able to guess what this is!
But although Lin Shan knew the answer, he was hesitant to tell the truth.
He felt Zuo Zhenren's eyes staring at him closely, but he didn't have any identification magic weapon to cover it up. Just by looking at it, he could tell that it was the golden elixir stage shark bead?
After all, I am not the real Jin Dan, and I have never been to the South China Sea. I am just a young man who is less than twenty years old and in the Qi training period. How can I get such high knowledge and rich experience?
After looking over and over for a while, Lin Shan knew that time was running out and he had to make a decision.
"Master, this spiritual object has surging water spiritual power. Judging from the material, it is not an innate spiritual object, but more like an acquired creature. It seems to be a drop of tear? I am not sure."
After Lin Shan finished speaking, he lowered his head, nervously sweating all over his back. He didn't know what kind of comment his words would leave.
Mr. Zhang, the appraisal master next to him, looked thoughtful when he saw the bead.
Zuo Zhenren, who took the first seat, was neither happy nor sad. He simply said "hmm" and pointed to the second box noncommittally.
"Next item."
Lin Shan quickly opened the second brocade box, and inside was a black block with skewed grooves. The reinforced panel has been introduced again.
【Turtle Shell Fragments】(Damaged)
Quality: Minor magical power (incomplete)
Introduction: The Black Turtle, a monster in the Nascent Soul stage of the South China Sea, created an unknown magical power spell in his spare time. It requires soaking in the blood of the Black Turtle for three months to activate the inheritance. Strengthening requirements: 64 points
……
Lin Shan was even more sweaty now, and he sighed sadly in his heart, this Zuo Zhenren didn't play according to the routine, and used all kinds of fancy things!
Besides, he estimated that if this thing didn't have a reinforced panel, few people would be able to recognize it!
Maybe
Maybe Mr. Zuo doesn’t know what this is? Simply use him to test the waters? Try your luck? Everyone is happy if it’s identified, but it’s disappointing if it’s not identified?
After carefully examining this ordinary tortoise shell fragment, it looked featureless from the outside. He felt more and more that this thing was worthy of being the inheritance of monster beasts, and it was still in a broken state. It was so simple and unpretentious that there was no way to start with it. There was a high probability that Zuo Zhenren didn’t know its origin.
Lin Shan thought for a while and decided to give a direction first and test it out.
"This thing seems very similar to a kind of magical power inheritance mentioned in the ancient books passed down by our ancestors?"
Lin Shan touched his chin and said uncertainly, while sneaking a glance at Zuo Zhenren.
Sure enough, Zuo Zhenren's eyes narrowed slightly.
Then he stared at the tortoise shell fragments and thought for a while, seeming to recall some past events.
When Lin Shan saw something interesting, he pretended to ponder it for a long time: "Junior, I don't know exactly what magical power it is, but I once read in ancient books that it generally corresponds to magical power, and you may need to test it with the corresponding essence and blood. Soaking it for three months can show initial results. .”
He could only remind him that this Yuanying stage black turtle created his own supernatural power, but he didn't even name it after he created it. Who knows what it would be called.
However, Lin Shan's words seemed to wake up Zuo Zhenren. The eyebrowless old man nodded more and more as he listened. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he seemed to feel that there was much to be done.
Immediately, he quickly took back the tortoise shell fragments and became friendly to Lin Shan: "My little friend has a long family background and is well-informed. I wonder where you are from?"
Lin Shan is in a dilemma now, making it up by himself? That definitely won't work. The number of cultivating families is limited, and it's easy to create problems out of nothing.
Tell me someone you know? I'm afraid that if Zuo Zhenren has a wide circle of friends, it will be troublesome for him to get involved.
Lin Shan didn't dare to pull Lei Zhenzi's banner this time. Zuo Zhenren was not something those two second-generation pseudo-immortals could fool.
However, Lin Shan had an idea in his desperation, "My ancestors came from a great sect of cultivation, and later left the sect to found a family of cultivation. Hundreds of years later, my lineage has become a mortal family in southern Xinjiang. Only my younger generation and another brother are lucky." Entering the path of immortality.”
Lin Shan knew not to make it up randomly. Every cultivation family had its sect origin. Anyway, the Lin family tree in Qinghe County only lasted for more than a hundred years. Even if Zuo Zhenren sent people to check, nothing could be found.
Sure enough, Zuo Zhenren asked which sect again, but Lin Shan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said "Wood Dao Sect".
As for the Wudao Sect, they didn’t make it up themselves, it was described on the enhanced panel “The Book of Seven Arrows with Nail Head”. As long as it truly existed in history and had a provenance, we can naturally find ways to get around it.
However, when Zuo Zhenren heard about the Wudao Sect, he sat there and began to think hard. With his hundreds of years of experience, he really couldn't recall it for a while, but he always felt that he had vaguely heard this term before.
Master Zhang next to him also had his eyebrows furrowed. He had lived for more than a hundred years and had never heard of this sect.
However, after Zuo Zhenren found that he couldn't remember it, he stopped worrying about these details. Pointing to the third brocade box: "If I can accurately identify this thing again, I will give it to you!"
Zuo Zhenren obviously saw that Lin Shan had done him a big favor with the tortoise shell fragments just now, so he reciprocated and planned to help him.
The things that Master Jin Dan throws out casually are also great treasures for monks in the Qi training stage.
Lin Shan quickly opened the third brocade box. A palm-sized ancient bronze mirror lay in the box. It was dim and dull, and seemed to be just an ordinary object.
The mirror reflected Lin Shan's young face, with irregular edges and corners all around. Some of the mirror's surfaces were pitted and had scratches and scorch marks. From another angle, it looked more like the tiles on a mortal's roof.
But Mr. Zhang, the appraiser next to him, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Senior Zuo! This is not what you used back then."
"Haha, eh!" Zuo Zhenren smiled and waved his hand, stopping Mr. Zhang's next words.
Quietly watching Lin Shan pick up the ancient bronze mirror.
