Chapter 16: Frustration

Auction houses have an extremely strict review process, especially for the auction items that flow out from the private sector, and even more strictly, otherwise the auction house will ruin its reputation if it is fake.

It was a middle-aged man who received Lin Ming, to be exact, it was this middle-aged man who stopped Lin Ming, "This gentleman, is there anything wrong?"

Although Lin Ming was wearing a wide robe, his height was still a little shorter than that of an adult man, and coupled with his immature voice, it was naturally impossible to hide the fact that he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of such a well-read auction deacon.

So Lin Ming simply said in his original voice: "I'll identify the inscription runes." ”

"Oh?" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Ming with some suspicion, "Can I take a look at your inscription?" In fact, this man's attitude is already very good, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came to the auction house to appraise the treasure, and it is also an inscription rune that costs thousands of taels of gold at every turn, no matter how you look at this situation, it is a bit of a prank.

After Lin Ming took out the inscription runes, the middle-aged man frowned slightly when he saw the inferior rune paper that was about the same color as the straw paper, this is obviously the lowest grade rune paper sold on the market, one or two gold more than a dozen, although the rune paper itself cannot affect the quality of the inscription, but what kind of identity is the inscription master, it is naturally impossible to use this kind of low-grade rune paper, they often use a dozen taels of gold a piece of high-grade rune paper, so that they can afford their inscription runes worth thousands of gold.

However, feeling the energy faintly emanating from the inscription, the middle-aged man was still sure that this was indeed a complete inscription rune, not a prank, he glanced at Lin Ming and asked, "Is there a certificate document issued by the Inscription Master Guild?"

Lin Ming shook his head.

"Okay, follow me. ”

The middle-aged man took Lin Ming to the appraisal room of the auction house, and the person in charge of the appraisal was an old man in black shirt who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, Lin Ming noticed that there was a sign on the old man's chest, which said Senior Appraiser.

After the old man in black shirt took this inscription rune, he naturally noticed that this inscription rune was made of inferior rune paper, but he did not show any disdain, but calmly put on white gloves, and then devoted himself to serious and careful appraisal work, showing good professionalism.

However, the appraisal only started for a while, and the old man raised his head with a different color, looked at Lin Ming, and then looked at this inscription rune, and finally, he said: "If I'm not mistaken, the strength of the person who drew this inscription rune is no more than the third level of training, right?"

The inscription runes will leave traces of the true yuan of the maker, and the appraiser can roughly judge the martial arts level of the maker, and the inscription runes drawn by Lin Ming, the true yuan level is naturally very low, and the old man judged that the triple training body is still because Lin Ming practiced the "Chaos True Yuan Jue", the reason why the true yuan is more condensed than the martial artists of the same level, if you know that this inscription rune is only drawn by the fifteen-year-old boy in front of him who only has one weight of the body, it is estimated that his jaw will fall to the ground in shock.

Lin Ming knew that there was no way to deny this, so he could only nod.

The old man took a deep breath and sighed, "There are talented people in the country, and you can draw inscription runes with just three years of physical training, which is amazing!"

Generally speaking, the masters of the inscription are all martial artists of some age, most of them are above the Bone Forging Realm, many have even broken through the Condensation Realm, and even more are martial artists of the Acquired Realm.

I'm afraid that the three apprentices who practice the body are only inscriptions, and it is not uncommon for an inscription apprentice to successfully draw a complete inscription rune by chance, but it is shocking to draw four identical inscription runes in a row.

When Lin Ming heard the old man's admiration, he thought that this business was almost done, but he didn't expect the old man to change his words and say: " Although it is a complete inscription rune, but if the maker is only an inscription apprentice, we can't be sure of its amplification effect, you know, the inscription apprentice is generally limited in the total amount of true yuan, it is difficult to complete the complicated inscription drawing, if the inscription rune increase effect is within one percent, it is worthless, this kind of inscription rune, we can't auction it, once its grade is not good, it will damage the reputation of the auction house. ”...,

The inscription rune can only be used on the high-grade treasure, because only the high-grade treasure can be used by the warrior to focus on the true yuan to fight, and the inscription is to change the flow mode of the improved true yuan through guò in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the treasure.

Therefore, the lowest that can be inscribed must be a low-grade human rank, and the value of a low-grade treasure is generally more than a few thousand taels of gold!

Treasure weapons are not things that ordinary people are equipped with, even if they are children of big families, they have to wait until their cultivation reaches the period of easy muscle forging before it is possible to get a treasure weapon.

For example, Wang Yigao at the beginning, although his family background was good, but because of his limited cultivation, he only used a high-quality Qingfeng sword, which was not a treasure, and was worth only two hundred taels of gold.

The number of inscriptions on a treasure is limited, basically only once, that is to say, after an inscription, no more inscriptions, just imagine, who would buy a treasure of thousands of taels of gold, and then use the inscription runes whose quality is difficult to guarantee to inscribe?

Therefore, there is no market for the inscription runes made by inscription apprentices.

Lin Ming expected this result, and he said: "I can only auction three inscription runes, and the remaining one is used to make a real yàn." ”

After the finished inscription rune is made, it is difficult to realize the result without inscribed on the treasure, and even the maker himself can only roughly guess that the increase will be between a few percent and a few percent.

Many times the warriors who buy the inscription runes are also fighting for luck, so the master-level inscription rune works are very popular, because they have a reputation guarantee, while the inscription runes made by the unknown inscription masters are often not cared for, and no one will buy an inscription rune with unknown effect and risk their own treasures.

The appraiser said: "This is naturally possible, but the treasure used by the real yàn needs to be provided by yourself." ”

When Lin Ming heard this, he was speechless, a treasure was worth thousands of taels of gold, and it was impossible for the auction house to casually take out a few thousand taels of gold as a real prop.

Of course, it would be different if Lin Ming himself was a master of inscriptions, because the master had a reputation guarantee, and he would not lose money if he took out the treasure to make a real thing, and this kind of person, the auction house was also happy to make friends, and it was naturally worth paying some appropriately.

When Lin Ming was the richest, he only had more than eight hundred taels of gold, where could he go to get a treasure weapon?

He didn't dwell on it anymore, and he didn't say anything, believe me, I will definitely not let the treasure you provide suffer losses or anything like that, he knows that it won't make any sense to say this, the appraiser won't believe him, in the final analysis, because the true element fluctuation of this inscription rune is too weak.

In this way, Lin Ming turned around and left the official auction house of Tianyun City with his four inscription runes.

......

"Sorry, we need a certificate from the Inscription Master's Guild, or a document from the Inscription Master himself......"

At the Tianyun City Trade Fair, after seeing that Lin Ming was a teenager, the purchaser didn't give these four inscription runes a chance to identify them at all, and directly rejected Lin Ming.

This is still a good attitude, and later Lin Ming went to some private stores, and the attitude of these people was even worse.

The trading shop that can sell the inscription scroll pù, that is definitely the store pù under the jurisdiction of the Great Chamber of Commerce, the shop pù often has five or six floors, the interior decoration is luxurious, magnificent, as for the price of things is naturally outrageously expensive, often hundreds of taels, thousands of taels of gold, this kind of shop pù clerk shopkeeper, is also very arrogant, if the God of Wealth comes, it is naturally polite, good tea and good water hospitality, if it is a salesman, or a poor person comes to the door, it is not bad to go out without sweeping the floor.

Some of them didn't bother to take care of Lin Ming at all, and some waved their hands impatiently to drive away.

"Where are the children, don't make trouble here and delay business. ”

"Let's go, this is not the place for a kid your age, huh...... Hey, that guest, do you need anything? Come in and have a look......"

"Kid, don't make me laugh here, you are drawn on straw paper, a small flame is drawn on a piece of straw paper, you think this is inscription, hahaha......"
