The middle-aged man smiled politely, nodded, and then said, "Okay, sir, we can arrange for you to be the most professional appraiser in the entire Van Mill City and even the Slang Empire, but you still need to pay a little fee before you can do this, of course, very low." ”

Lin Tao was a little stunned, he didn't expect the other party to levy this kind of fee, but then he was relieved to think about it, if it was free appraisal, he was afraid that several professional appraisers here would be exhausted, because all kinds of strange items would come to ask for appraisal value.

"No problem, how much?" Lin Tao asked.

The middle-aged man stretched out three fingers, "It's just three gold coins." ”

When Lin Tao heard this, he immediately had the urge to scold his mother, three gold coins, and only one and a half gold coins in his body, which was still left over from Fu Bo's purchase of medicinal materials in the morning.

Embarrassing, really embarrassing. But fortunately, Lin Tao was wearing a mask on his face, which made it impossible to see his expression.

"Sir, sir, what's wrong?" The middle-aged man was a little strange when he saw that Lin Tao didn't speak for a long time.

"Nothing. Lin Tao, who hesitated slightly, still decided to find someone to appraise it, because only after appraisal can the value be determined, after all, he himself doesn't know what price this beauty pill can sell, after all, this thing is one of the most wasteful pills in the cultivation world. And without appraisal, it is not eligible to be auctioned at the weekly auction. Auction houses are not charities, they are also profitable, but they take a cut of the goods they sell, and if the value of the goods is not high, the commission is much lower. So the profit-seeking nature of merchants drives them to put the most valuable items at auction.

As if he understood Lin Tao's difficulty, the middle-aged man asked tentatively, "Is there a difficulty in the identification fee of the three gold coins?"

Lin Tao nodded and didn't answer.

The middle-aged man thought for a while, "Sir, in general, in this case, we deal with it according to the value given by the appraiser, that is, if the price of the goods is not higher than three gold coins, then we will confiscate the items to compensate for the appraisal costs." If it's more than three gold coins and the value is not high, we'll help you sell the item outside of the auction, minus our appraisal fee. In the last case, the value of the item itself is very high, so after the auction, we will take a point. ”

The middle-aged man's opinion did not seem to have anything to object, Lin Tao sneered in his heart, sure enough, there is a set, no matter what the value of these seven beauty pills is, Luo Ken Auction House will not suffer. If the value is high enough, a point is not tens or hundreds of gold coins.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, only when I have enough strength can I have enough right to speak, Lin Tao has gradually adapted to the rules of this world.

"Yes. Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tao agreed to the other party's proposal.

A bright smile instantly bloomed on the middle-aged man's face, and unlike the previous professional smile, this time it was a heartfelt smile.

"Well, sir, please come with me. As he spoke, the middle-aged man took a step forward and led Lin Tao to a room outside the hall.

"Mr. Edward, a guest would like to ask you to appraise his belongings for him. After speaking, the middle-aged man motioned for Lin Tao to take out his belongings.

Edward sat in the chair, an old man in his sixties, with gray hair, but surprisingly his eyes were bright. Lazily put the cup in his hand on the table, Edward squinted at Lin Tao and said, "Young man, your mask is good." Well, let me see what the good stuff will be, and hopefully it won't disappoint me. ”

Taking the glass bottle handed by Lin Tao, Edward looked at Lin Tao with some suspicion, it was the first time he had seen someone use such a simple glass bottle to hold items, it seemed that it should be a very ordinary thing. Edward instantly became a little impatient, and the trace of anticipation and curiosity just now was instantly extinguished. After all, with his status, he didn't want to waste time on these things.

After uncorking the bottle, a vague aroma instantly emanated from the glass bottle, and the smell was refreshing. Curious about what it was that gave off this brain-stimulating scent, Edward placed a white handkerchief over his hand and carefully poured out the contents of the bottle.

When he saw the seven small round pills in his hand, Edward picked up the old magnifying glass beside him and slowly looked at it.

"These pills are called Yangyan Pills, and what I want you to identify is not their effect, but their value. Lin Tao's words were concise and to the point, and the word "detoxification" was removed, so as not to sound bad.

"Beauty Pill?"

"Yes, it can protect people's skin and appearance, look younger, even some older people can reduce skin wrinkles and gray hair after using it. Lin Tao explained that this is not an exaggeration, and Yangyan Dan does have such an effect.

Edward, who was originally there as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, jumped up from his chair, and asked in disbelief with a look of surprise on his face, "What? God testifies, do you dare to guarantee that what you say is not exaggerated at all?"

Lin Tao nodded firmly and said, "No, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try." This sentence is an understatement, but in the eyes of Edward and the middle-aged man in blue, he was even more surprised, since he dared to try the medicine, he was nothing more than very confident in the efficacy of the beauty pill, and at the same time mastered the manufacturing method, so he would not feel sorry for such a valuable pill.

Edward and the middle-aged man glanced at each other, both reading the surprise and excitement in each other's eyes, according to the rules of the Roken auction house, they were entitled to a very small commission from the final price of the item. If the final transaction price is high enough, then this part of the commission is still quite considerable.

"Okay, since Your Excellency is so confident in your elixir, I will ask someone to test it, but before that, I said that if there is a problem with this medicine, I mean it is poisonous, then the Roken family guards outside the house will definitely be merciless. Edward stared at Lin Tao's eyes hidden under the silver mask, and said lightly.

Lin Tao didn't sell his account at all, and from the other party's eyes, he could see that the beauty pill seemed to be very popular, and even a treasure. In this way, it is Lin Tao's character to take a shelf, and he sneered and said: "Your words can't scare me, not to mention that I won't be stupid to die here." You can rest assured that you will find someone to try the drug, and you will vomit and diarrhea immediately after taking it, which will indeed be a little uncomfortable, but as long as you get through it, you can see the effect of the medicine in three hours. ”

The full name of Yangyan Dan is Detoxification and Yangyan Dan, which is just a low-grade pill in the Yellow Rank of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang in the Dan Dao ranking in Kyushu, and the refining method and dispensing are very simple, maybe for mortals, this is indeed a miracle medicine, and the effect is extraordinary. But for cultivators, it has little effect, and it is like a chicken rib.

The difference between these two types of people after taking it is fundamentally the mechanism of medication, mortals eat dregs and do not cultivate the road, and the toxins in the body are gradually accumulated with age, but because the body cannot excrete them smoothly, the toxins will deepen and eventually harm the body. But cultivators are different, they can drive away the dross in their bodies through the continuous washing of heaven and earth aura, so the effect of using this elixir is average. After all, to put it bluntly, detoxification and beauty pill is one is drainage, but warm nourishment.

A moment later, the middle-aged man in blue who had just left went and returned, and a middle-aged woman was followed by him, who seemed to be a candidate for the drug test. Lin Tao nodded, it seems that the two of them are still relatively smart, if it is a man who eats Yangyan Pill, it does have an effect, but it is far less effective than that of women, after all, women are born with delicate skin, and it is easier to distinguish the effect of drugs.

I saw that this middle-aged woman was dressed in sackcloth, it seemed that she should be a servant of the auction house, perhaps because of her age or because of her life, this middle-aged woman had a lot of wrinkles and spots on her face, and her temples were a little gray, and she looked like she was more than forty or fifty years old.

"Eat it. The middle-aged man in blue handed a beauty pill in his hand to the middle-aged woman, with a commanding tone, his expression was hard, and his tone was cold, which could not be refused.

"My lord, this ...... This ......" The middle-aged woman looked at the pill in her hand, a little flustered, unsure of her idea, and wanted to speak, but when she saw the face of the middle-aged man in blue, she couldn't say anything.

Lin Tao was also a little unbearable when he saw this scene, although he knew that eating Yangyan Pill was only good and not bad. It's just that people tend to be very afraid of unfamiliar and unknown things, which causes middle-aged women to appear afraid. He lamented the misery of the people in this world, who have no right to speak, only the share of being ravaged and oppressed.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lin Tao felt that he seemed to have some sympathy, his own situation was not very good, where did he still have the heart to sympathize with others.

"Do you want me to say it a second time? Either eat it or roll up the bed and leave. The middle-aged man said impatiently.

"Yes...... Yes, sir. When the middle-aged woman heard that she was going to be fired, her face turned pale with fright, if she was really dismissed, then she really had no way to live. With a hint of resoluteness flashing across her face, the middle-aged woman poured the pill in her hand into her mouth, and then swallowed it regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.

The middle-aged man in blue sneered and said to himself, "Despicable Tanzans really can't be treated with good words." From beginning to end, Edward, who was sitting in his chair, squinted at the book wrapped in sheepskin in his hand, and seemed to be surprised by all this.

The moment she swallowed Yangyan Pill, the middle-aged woman's face was full of panic and fear, and the fear had spread to her entire heart, she didn't know what she would do in the next moment, so she could only wait helplessly. And then it was the wait that was the hardest, and just a few minutes seemed like months or even years to her. Fortunately, the fear did not happen, and the fear in my heart slowly dissipated over time.

After a while, the expression on the middle-aged woman's face was no longer fearful, but a little ugly. "Big ...... My lord, I, I think. Looking at the middle-aged man in blue with some fear, she didn't dare to say anything more, her face was swollen and red, and her face was full of embarrassment.

The middle-aged man waved his hand angrily, "Get out, poor bitch, come back to me after you're cleaned up." He could already smell the smell in the air, and cursed angrily.

The middle-aged woman ran out in a panic as if she had been pardoned.

It took three hours to see the results, and Lin Tao could only wait, and the middle-aged people in blue wanted to try to set Lin Tao's words, such as Lin Tao's identity, the origin of the beauty pill, and other questions were all brushed aside by Lin Tao.

Although he knew that Lin Tao didn't want to reveal his identity, the middle-aged man still couldn't help but ask, after all, Lin Tao was likely to be a cash cow to him. Since the young man with the silver mask in front of him knows how to refine it, has built a good relationship, and let the other party continue to supply, isn't the money rolling in?

Edward, who was on the side, was in the same mindset, the thick parchment that looked like a turning head didn't seem to fascinate him as much as he used to, and he always looked up at the masked man.

Time passed quickly, and during this period, several people chatted without a match, but every time they talked about substantive issues, Lin Tao was always stuck directly, blocking everything they wanted to know, which made the middle-aged man helpless.

When the middle-aged woman appeared in the house, Edward even thought he had an eye disease. "Oh my God, it's like a masterpiece of God, and if I hadn't prepared it in my heart, I wouldn't have remembered her as the servant. ”

The middle-aged man nodded approvingly, his face full of excitement, "The effect looks surprisingly good." Haha, if the Yangyan Pill is brought to auction, I am afraid that it will cause the madness of the aristocratic ladies. ”

I saw that the middle-aged woman with a wrinkled face and spots just now seemed to be a different person at the moment, the wrinkles on her forehead and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were much lighter than just now, and the lines were much lighter. And those spots and freckles have disappeared by seventy or eighty percent, and if you don't look closely, you will basically not be noticed, and even the gray hair on your sideburns will magically disappear.

"The power of God is truly miraculous. ”

Lin Tao nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the effect is indeed good, which has little to do with the age of the experimenter himself, but the old age tossed by the wind and frost of the years, the bad living environment and the hard work. After removing the toxins from the body and warming the five internal organs, the whole person regains vitality.

The middle-aged woman looked at the eyes of the men in front of her with some trepidation, she saw the surprise in their eyes, and even ...... She didn't know what was wrong with her face, it was probably much better than before, because she could clearly feel a freshness on her face, as if it had been rained. She wanted to go out and find a mirror to take a good look at it now, but she didn't dare to do it.

God knows how hard it was for her to spend the last three hours, she vomited at least the black bread crumbs she had eaten three or four days ago, the undigested parts, and the thick residue, the smell that even she couldn't help but gag even when she smelled the stench of the toilet, and if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't believe that these dirty and disgusting things and stench were coming from her own body. These three hours were indeed difficult, but she felt more relaxed than ever at the moment, feeling as if she had been baptized, breathing all over her skin, and the feeling was indescribably good.

When the Tanzanian woman was gone, the middle-aged man in blue, Edward and Lin Tao sat together again, the difference was that Edward did not sit in his chair, but got together with the other two, and he could no longer sit still. For Edward, who had seen all the treasures and strange things in his life, this little pill was simply amazing, so that his brain could not explain it for a while, and this golden gold coin attracted him even more.

"How's that, two? I don't think you'll be skeptical about the effect of the Pill after seeing the results of the experiment, right?"

The two laughed awkwardly and glanced at each other, "Of course, of course." ”

Old man Edward excitedly took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the area around his forehead was stretched, as if he was a few years younger, "Sir, with all due respect." Your medicine is truly miraculous, like the hand of God, which can change people. Although our auction house has not auctioned similar elixirs before, I believe that the rich wives of Van Mill and the noble ladies of the upper class, and even the young ladies who are waiting for the boudoir will be very willing to pay for the beauty pill, after all, women love beauty, who doesn't want to be young, even if it is me, I hope so. ”

Lin Tao smiled and didn't answer, which made the two feel a little uneasy, they didn't want to let go of such a cash cow, the middle-aged man took over the conversation, "Don't worry, we will definitely take Yangyan Dan as the focus of this auction to auction, and we will definitely sell it for the best price." ”

In this case, there is the help of Lao Er. ”

"Polite, polite. Sir, you can also come to this week's auction, although Roken has a strict identity limit for participants, but you don't need to. ”

Lin Tao waved his hand and said, "Hehe, I won't come to join in the fun, I will only come to get the money I won after the auction." ”

The middle-aged man saw that his wooing plan failed again, and looked at the silver-faced man in front of him a little weakly. "It's as it should be, it's just that I have a small request. ”

Lin Tao smiled faintly, and had already guessed his words, "Please speak." ”

"Since you have a refining method for Yangyan Dan, I hope you can sell Yangyan Dan in our auction house for a long time, and our auction house will definitely support you more.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Tao said: "Okay, I promise the two of you, if I refine the Yan Dan again, I will definitely hand it over to the two of you again to help me deal with it, but I don't know the specific time." After all, the two of them still understand the truth that scarcity is expensive, and if this thing is really overflowing, I am afraid that it will become worthless like the goods sold in the hands of small traders and vendors on the street. ”

The middle-aged man in blue and Edward nodded, they didn't understand what Lin Tao said, but they were a little excited and dizzy just now. Although I didn't get 100% of the other party's consent, this is the best result, and if I ask more, I am afraid that I will annoy the other party, and then the gain will outweigh the loss.

After seeing that everything was explained, Lin Tao said goodbye and left the Luoken Auction House.

It was still Edward's appraiser's workplace, the middle-aged man looked at Edward, and asked in an inquiring tone, "Do you think we should find a few people to check the origin of the silver-faced man, and then ......"

After thinking for a while, Edward waved his hand, "This will only make things worse, not to mention that we don't know anything about him, do you think that the person who can refine this magical elixir will be able to deal with it so easily? Not to mention the background behind him, if you want to say that he developed the beauty pill by himself, I don't believe it at all, it must be a super-large family with such ability." ”

The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully, "It's better to tell the young lady and the head of the family about this matter as soon as possible." With that, he left in a hurry.
