Chapter 218 Auction House Appraisal

Xie Chen frowned when he heard shopkeeper Cai's words. It is better to have hope than no hope, and he will go to the auction house he mentioned later to have a look.

"Okay then, prepare Luohuamo, Caiyunjian and Laoshanxiang first."

"it is good!"

Shopkeeper Cai hurriedly went to get the materials and asked Xie Chen to wait in the VIP area.

Half an hour passed before shopkeeper Cai was sweating profusely. He brought three servants over. Each servant was holding a wooden box, which looked very heavy, especially the one containing Luohuamo.

In front of Xie Chen, shopkeeper Cai counted out the quantity of the materials, and asked Xie Chen to go over them one by one, "The total is 13 taels of silver. I'll give you a discount, and I'll just charge 5000 taels of silver. What do you think?"

Shopkeeper Cai was full of smiles. Although the Jiangnan Fu shop was very large and he had done a lot of big business, such a big business worth more than [-] yuan was still rare, so his attitude towards Xie Chen was extremely friendly.

Hearing the quotation from Shopkeeper Cai, even though Xie Chen was never stingy with spending money, he also frowned. Although he was mentally prepared for such a high price, he was still a little surprised.

13 taels, a small family may not be able to spend such a large amount of money at once. He used to spend tens of thousands of taels at most, and he has never spent more than [-] taels.

Seeing that Xie Chen didn't speak, shopkeeper Cai thought that Xie Chen was too expensive, and hurriedly explained: "These materials are extremely precious. A bottle of Luohua ink costs 100 taels, a piece of colorful cloud paper costs 50 taels, and Laoshan incense costs 500 taels a piece." , since you are buying in bulk, we specially gave you a discount, you see..."

"Needless to say, this is money." Xie Chen directly handed thirteen silver bills of 1 taels to shopkeeper Cai, and with a wave of his hand, put all three boxes into the white jade belt.

Shopkeeper Cai was also worried that Xie Chen would not be able to pay the money, thinking that he would be embarrassed, but who knew that he was so straightforward, he was stunned for a moment, and even the few servants behind him stared at Xie Chen dumbfounded.

They have seen a lot of rich people, but they have never seen someone as rich as Xie Chen, who is still so young, with more than a hundred thousand taels of silver without blinking an eye.

Xie Chen is not spending money lavishly, but he thinks that the money should be spent. As long as it is worth the money, the materials this time are enough for him to use for a long time, and it is almost enough to support him to become a third-level talisman maker. The words of the pen and the new leaf inkstone.

Moreover, the talisman maker not only burns money, but also makes a lot of money. As for the first-grade universal inscription talisman on his body, one piece can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver. As long as he is willing, he can earn it back very quickly. .

Xie Chen followed what Shopkeeper Cai said, and after leaving the Jiangnan Fudian, he rushed towards the Jiangnan Auction House.

Jiangnan Auction House is located in another street in Dafang City, Hongdu, Xiangyun Avenue, which is more bustling and lively than Xuefu Avenue.

Xie Chen found a corner where no one was around, and changed into a black cloak and black robe. He planned to sell the inscription symbols in his hand to see how the sales were going. Spending so much money was not a long-term solution. There are ten first-class inscription symbols, and they are sold.

Of course, this time Xie Chen plans to sell one first and see the situation.

The Jiangnan Auction House is the largest auction house in Hongdu Prefecture, and it belongs to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce can be said to be the largest chamber of commerce on Xijiang Road, with strong financial resources and a wide reputation.

Xie Chen came to the downstairs of the Jiangnan Auction House. The building of the auction house is very special, with a round spire, like a tent, but the overall scale is as large as several buildings, and it looks very grand.

There are a few powerful guards at the gate, patrolling the passers-by with vigilant eyes. The entrance of the auction house is full of people, most of them are dressed in luxurious clothes, and there are all kinds of gorgeous carriages parked at the gate. expensive.

"stop!"

Seeing Xie Chen's attire, the guard stopped him and looked at him suspiciously.

Although there have been similar people in the past who did not want to disclose their identities, they are suspicious after all, so they should be questioned clearly.

Xie Chen stopped in his tracks. He dressed like this because he didn't want his identity as a talisman maker to be exposed. He already knew the value of things like universal inscription talismans, and he was afraid of being coveted.

"Who are you? Why are you masked?"

The guard stopped Xie Chen, which instantly attracted the attention of the people around him. In fact, Xie Chen had already attracted attention when he was walking on the street. Now that he was stopped by the guard, more people naturally noticed him. They wanted to know who he was. Why this outfit.

A man in expensive clothes who looked like a son-in-law passed by Xie Chen and sneered: "Playing tricks, you still want to enter like this?"

"Master Zheng." A few guards obviously knew the young man and greeted him.

The young man nodded and walked in, but he didn't go far, and looked at Xie Chen at the door, with a gesture of watching the show.

This young man was dressed luxuriously, but he was sloppy, with a high-spirited look, and there was a young man by his side.

The young man saw the young master go in and hurriedly followed.

Xie Chen glanced at the young man, but didn't speak. He said to the guards at the door: "I'm here to buy some things and sell some things by the way, it's not convenient to reveal my identity."

"No! Report your name!"

Several guards had already set up their weapons, trying to stop Xie Chen.

"Hey, I'd like to see what the origin of this man is, what kind of clothes he wears in broad daylight."

The dandy who went in just now looked disdainful, and wanted to see the man in black make a fool of himself.

The others also temporarily stopped and looked at this strangely dressed person.

Seeing the situation, Xie Chen suddenly had an idea, took out the token of the talisman maker, and flashed it in front of their eyes.

"Talemaker!"

Several guards were startled immediately, and hurriedly bowed and said: "The little ones have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, adults please come in."

"Ah."

Xie Chen nodded, stepped into the auction house, thinking to himself, this talisman maker's token is really useful.

"Brother Jun, the one who went in just now seems to be a silver talisman maker, right?"

A guard looked at Xie Chen's back, and whispered to the other guard.

"That's right." The person known as "Brother Jun" nodded, his expression was still in shock, and he was glad that he didn't make things difficult for the other party just now.

"Master, this person... is actually a talisman maker?"

The boy next to the dandy was a little surprised when he saw Xie Chen coming in.

"I really didn't expect that!" The dude snorted and watched Xie Chen walk into the hall.

As soon as Xie Chen came in, a young maid immediately greeted him and said, "Hello, what help do you need?"

Xie Chen pondered slightly: "I'm here to sell some things."

"Okay, the items for auction need to be appraised first, you follow me."

The young maid spoke skillfully, made a gesture, and led Xie Chen to a passage on the right side of the hall.

There are rooms on both sides of the passage, each with its own way, and each room is full of people. In the deepest room, there is a sign: Appreciation Office.

The young maid brought Xie Chen here and left. Xie Chen knocked on the door and pushed the door open when he heard the word "come in". There are some wooden chairs on both sides of the table, and three middle-aged men are sitting behind the long table.

When Xie Chen came in, someone happened to have finished the appraisal and turned around with his own things.

Xie Chen went straight to the long table.

The three middle-aged people are obviously appraisers of the auction house. Seeing Xie Chen's attire, they couldn't help frowning, but they couldn't say anything. Seeing Xie Chen approaching, the middle one was a little older of middle-aged people asked: "What do you need to auction?"

"Inscription symbol."

Xie Chen's words were very simple, of course what they heard was Fu Lao's voice.

"Oh?"

Several treasure appraisers looked at each other with interest in their eyes. Inscription symbols are not uncommon in auction houses, but high-quality inscription symbols are rare.

Inscription symbols above grade three can be sold for a large price.

The appraiser in the middle asked, "What grade is it?"

"One product."

Several treasure appraisers frowned immediately, Yipin is too common, and it can't be sold for much, and they didn't even bother to ask what it is for.

"Show us."

Several appraisers have no hope.

Xie Chen randomly took out a first-grade inscription talisman made by him from the white jade belt.

As soon as he took it out, several treasure appraisers faintly felt that something was wrong. It seemed that the inscription symbol of the black-robed old man in front of him was different, but they couldn't tell what was different.

"The runes seem to be more complicated. The writing method is unique and has a long-lasting atmosphere. It seems that the inheritance is unusual, and there is even a precious light."

Several treasure appraisers were surprised when they saw the light flashing around the inscription talisman. This is not an ordinary inscription talisman, especially the patterns and characters on the talisman are faintly flowing. , and it seems that there is nothing, giving people a feeling of illusion.

The appraiser in the middle looked over and over again, frowned, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be a first-class inscription talisman, but it doesn't quite look like it."

"Take the test runestone and test it."

A treasure appraiser on the left said.

The treasure appraiser in the middle who is mainly in charge of appraisal nodded, took out a test rune stone from under the long table, and put the inscription rune on it.

Wow!The rune-testing stone emitted a burst of light, and the light on the rune-testing pillar also rose at the same time.

"Nearly [-]%!"

"It is indeed a first-class inscription symbol, and... is it a multi-purpose inscription symbol?!"

The treasure appraiser on the right was surprised. Just a first-grade inscription talisman can cost a few thousand taels of silver at most, and the unpopular inscription talisman can only be sold for a few hundred taels of silver, but the price is doubled if you use more inscription talismans.

"It seems...not an ordinary multi-purpose inscription symbol?"

The appraiser on the left looked at it for a while and said suspiciously.

"It doesn't look like it, so I can only ask Master Gu Ning to appraise it."

The treasure appraiser in the middle spoke, picked up the inscription talisman and apologized to Xie Chen: "Mr., your inscription talisman seems to be a little different. We need to ask Master Guning to come and appraise it. Please wait a moment."

"Master Gu Ning is a third-level talisman maker, and the result of his appraisal must be correct."

The appraiser walked out the door and gave a few orders to a maid, and soon, an old man in his 60s rushed over.

"What inscription symbol? It's so special, I need to come here in person."

A lazy voice came, before the person arrived, the voice came first.

The old man pushed open the door, and saw Xie Chen's figure at a glance, and several treasure appraisers standing there.

Xie Chen was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, when he saw someone coming, he also opened his eyes.

The old man was wearing the costume of a talisman maker. The most conspicuous thing was that there were three strange lines on his chest, which meant that this man was a third-level talisman maker!
The third-level talisman maker Xie Chen has only met in the talisman maker association, and he is still the vice president. He didn't expect to see another one here, so he couldn't help but pay more attention.

"It's the old gentleman's inscription symbol. We're not sure, so please come and identify it for yourself."

Several appraisers bowed quickly.

Gu Ning, a third-level talisman maker, has a very high status in the auction house, far beyond what they can compare.

"Hmm." The tall and tall Gu Ning walked to the long table and picked up Xie Chen's inscription symbol. He was surprised when he saw it at first sight, and his expression became serious.

I saw that his expression was extremely focused, he looked at every part of the inscription talisman carefully, and finally closed his eyes. Everyone knew that he was using his spiritual sense to feel the effect of the inscription talisman.

This is sometimes useful for measuring runestones.

In the end, Gu Ning was startled, his eyes showed disbelief, and he was shocked: "This is... this is a universal inscription symbol?!"
