Auction houses have extremely strict review procedures, especially for auction items leaked from the public. Otherwise, if fakes are sold, the reputation of the auction house will be ruined.
The person who received Lin Ming was a middle-aged man. To be precise, it was this middle-aged man who stopped Lin Ming. "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Although Lin Ming wore a large robe, his height was still a bit shorter than that of an adult man. Coupled with his immature voice, it was naturally impossible to cover him up in front of such a well-known auction house deacon.
It’s just a fact of life for a fifteen or sixteen year old boy.
So Lin Ming simply said in his original voice: "I will identify the inscription talisman."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Ming with some suspicion, "Can I see your inscription talisman?" In fact, this man's attitude was already very good. A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old came to the auction house for appraisal.
It's a treasure, and it's also an inscription talisman that costs thousands of taels of gold. No matter how you look at it, this situation seems a bit mischievous.
After Lin Ming took out the inscription talisman, the middle-aged man frowned slightly when he saw the low-quality talisman paper, which was almost as good as straw paper. This was obviously the lowest-grade talisman paper sold on the market, with one tael of gold and dozens of pieces. Although the talisman paper itself was not
It cannot affect the quality of the inscription, but given the status of the inscription master, it is naturally impossible to use such low-grade talisman paper. They often use high-grade talisman paper worth more than ten taels of gold each, so that they can match their worth of thousands of gold inscription talismans.
.
However, feeling the energy faintly emanating from the inscription, the middle-aged man was still sure that it was indeed a complete inscription charm and not a prank. He glanced at Lin Ming and asked, "Is there an inscription master's guild issued by it?"
Voucher documents?”
Lin Ming shook his head.
"Okay, come with me."
The middle-aged man took Lin Ming to the appraisal room of the auction house. The person in charge of the appraisal was an old man in black clothes who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. Lin Ming noticed that there was a sign on the old man's chest that read "High-end".
appraiser.
After the black-shirted old man took the inscription talisman, he naturally noticed that it was made of inferior talisman paper. However, he did not show any disdain, but calmly put on his white gloves, and then
Investing in serious and careful appraisal work shows good professionalism.
However, the appraisal only started for a while. The old man raised his head with a strange look on his face, looked at Lin Ming, and then at the inscription talisman. Finally, he said: "If I am not mistaken, the person who drew this inscription talisman is
A person's strength cannot exceed the third level of physical training, right?"
Traces of the maker's true essence will be left on the inscription talisman. Through these traces, the appraiser can roughly determine the martial arts level of the maker. The true essence level of the inscription talisman drawn by Lin Ming is naturally very low. The old man can judge whether it is the third level or the third level of physical training.
Because Lin Ming practices the "Chaos True Essence Technique", the true essence is thicker than that of warriors at the same level. If he knew that this inscription talisman was drawn by the fifteen-year-old boy who only had the first level of physical training in front of him, he would probably be shocked.
It fell to the ground.
Lin Ming knew that he couldn't deny this, so he could only nod.
The old man took a deep breath and exclaimed, "There are talented people from generation to generation who can draw inscriptions with just three levels of physical training. It's surprising!"
Generally speaking, inscription masters are warriors of some age, most of them are at the Bone Forging Realm or above, many have even broken through the Pulse Condensation Realm, and even some are warriors at the Houtian Realm.
Those who are practicing at the third level are probably only inscription apprentices. It is not unusual for an inscription apprentice to successfully draw a complete inscription talisman by chance, but to draw four identical inscription talismans in a row is shocking.
When Lin Ming heard the old man's praise, he thought that the business was almost done. However, the old man changed the subject and said: "Although it is a complete inscription talisman, if the maker is just an inscription apprentice, we
It is impossible to be sure of its amplifying effect. You have to know that inscription apprentices generally have a limited amount of real energy, and it is difficult to complete complicated inscription drawings. If the amplifying effect of the inscription talisman is within 10%, it is of little value. This kind of inscription talisman,
We cannot auction it, because if it is not of good quality, it will damage the reputation of the auction house."
The inscription talisman can only be used on high-grade treasures, because only high-grade treasures can be infused with true energy by warriors to fight, and the inscription can increase the combat effectiveness of the treasure by changing and improving the flow of true energy.
.
Therefore, the minimum that can be inscribed must be a low-grade human being, and the value of a low-grade human-grade treasure is generally more than a few thousand taels of gold!
Treasure weapons are not something that ordinary people can afford to equip. Even the children of a big family have to wait until their cultivation reaches the muscle-changing and bone-forging stage before they can get a treasure weapon.
For example, although Wang Yigao had a good family background, due to his limited cultivation, he only used a high-quality Qingfeng sword. This Qingfeng sword was not a treasure and was only worth two hundred taels of gold.
The number of times a treasure can be inscribed is limited, basically just once. That is to say, after one inscription, it cannot be inscribed again. Just imagine, who would buy a treasure worth thousands of taels of gold and then use the inscription talisman whose quality is difficult to guarantee?
How about an inscription?
Therefore, there is no market for the inscription charms made by inscription apprentices.
Lin Ming expected this result, and he said: "I can only auction three inscription talismans and use the remaining one for experiments."
After the finished inscription talisman is made, it is difficult to test the results without inscribing it on the treasure. Even the maker himself can only roughly guess that the increase will be between a few and a few percent.
Many times, warriors who buy inscription talismans are trying their luck, so master-level inscription talisman works are very popular because they have a guaranteed reputation. However, inscription talismans made by less famous inscription masters are often ignored and no one will buy them.
An inscription with an unknown effect, risking your own treasure.
The appraiser said: "Of course this is possible, but you need to provide the treasures for the experiment yourself."
When Lin Ming heard this, he was immediately speechless. A treasure was worth several thousand taels of gold. It was impossible for the auction house to casually take out something with thousands of taels of gold as an experimental prop.
Of course, it would be different if Lin Ming himself was a master of the inscription technique. Because the master has a guarantee of credibility, he would not suffer any loss if he took out the treasure for experiments. Moreover, the auction house would be happy to befriend such a person, so it would be worthwhile to pay a certain amount.
When Lin Ming was the richest, he only had more than 800 taels of gold. Where could he get the treasures for experiments?
He did not pester or say anything. Believe me, I will not let the treasures you provided suffer losses. He knew that saying this would not make any sense. The appraiser would not believe him. In the final analysis
Because the true energy fluctuation of this inscription talisman is too weak.
Just like that, Lin Ming turned around and left the Tianyun City official auction house with his four inscription talismans.
…
"Sorry, we need a certificate from the Inscription Masters Guild, or a document from the Inscription Master himself..."
At the Tianyun City Trade Fair, after the buyer saw that Lin Ming was a teenager, he didn't even give the four inscription talismans a chance to appraise and directly rejected Lin Ming.
This was still a good attitude. Later, when Lin Ming went to some private stores, the attitude of these people was even worse.
A trading shop that can sell inscribed scrolls is definitely a shop under the Great Chamber of Commerce. The shop usually has five or six floors, with luxurious interior decoration and magnificent momentum. As for the price of the things, it is naturally ridiculously expensive, easily costing hundreds of taels.
Thousands of taels of gold. The clerks and shopkeepers of such shops are also very arrogant. If the God of Wealth comes over, they will naturally be polite and treat them with good tea and water. If they are salesmen or poor people, it is good to leave without sweeping the floor.
.
Some of them didn't bother to pay attention to Lin Ming at all, while others waved their hands away impatiently.
"Where are you kids? Don't make trouble here and delay business."
"Let's go quickly. This place is not a place for children of your age. Hey...hey, does that guest need anything? Come in and take a look..."
"Kid, don't make me laugh here. You drew this on papyrus. A small flame was drawn on a piece of papyrus. Do you think this is the inscription technique? Hahaha..."
