Chapter 1630: Appraisal

When Han Li walked out of the Mellow Fragrance Pavilion again, many people on the opposite side had already begun to enter the main entrance of the auction hall, as if the auction was about to begin. 【Web】

Seeing this, Han Li's expression stirred, and he walked over without hesitation.

The main entrance of the hall was three or four times larger than the entrances to the side halls, and the number of blue-robed guards guarding the entrance was far from comparable to the side halls.

However, these guards, apart from maintaining some order, did not make any other moves.

Han Li, without changing his expression, mixed into the crowd and walked in.

As soon as he walked into the hall, Han Li's eyes lit up.

He saw several parallel corridors appearing before him in a large hall. At the entrance of all the corridors, there was a sign hanging beside them, on which were written simple ancient characters such as "Appraisal," "Pawn," and "Main Hall." Beside these signs, there was also a young boy-like attendant standing there respectfully.

Han Li swept his gaze across these signs, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but after a moment of thought, he strode toward one of them.

"Appraisal? What does this mean?" Han Li stood at the entrance of the corridor, pointed to the sign beside it, and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Senior, this is where items for the auction are appraised. If Senior has any rare items, you can have them appraised here to join the auction." The handsome young attendant bowed and said.

"Oh, I see." Han Li nodded and walked into the corridor without hesitation.

Although Cai Liuying had promised to cover nearly half of the spirit stone consumption for the super teleportation array, the other half was still an astronomical figure that he had to solve himself.

Therefore, Han Li wanted to follow his original plan and send the items he had prepared to the auction to be sold.

The corridor was not very long. After Han Li walked for several tens of zhang, he turned a corner and appeared in front of a dark red door.

The door was wide open, but it was blocked by a layer of cyan light screen. In front of the light screen, there were seven or eight other alien cultivators lined up, waiting quietly.

Han Li was somewhat surprised, but he walked over calmly and stood at the end of the line.

Cyan light flashed, and the light screen parted on its own. An alien with red hair walked out from inside, his large mouth split open, as if he had encountered some good news inside.

This alien did not pay attention to Han Li and the others at the entrance, but walked directly through the crowd and headed excitedly out of the corridor.

The alien closest to the light screen then walked in without changing his expression.

In this way, after only a cup of tea's time, everyone in front of Han Li had gone in and come out, their movements being very fast. And in response to this, four or five more people appeared behind Han Li.

It seems that many people had the same plan as Han Li, coming here to join the auction just as it was about to start.

When another alien with a dejected expression walked out of the cyan light screen, Han Li lifted his leg and entered.

Behind the light screen was a milky white light, a huge room over thirty zhang in size. The surroundings were all made of a kind of gray-white stone, but the surface shimmered with dense runes to ensure the secrecy of this place.

However, in this room, apart from a jade table and three wooden chairs, there was only a simple teleportation array in one corner.

And sitting on the three chairs were three figures whose entire bodies were shrouded in white mist.

Under the cover of spiritual light, the figures and faces of the three people were all blurred, making it impossible to judge their true identities.

Han Li subconsciously swept his divine sense over.

The three figures did not know what kind of treasure they were carrying, but wherever his divine sense passed, there was no aura at all, making it impossible to judge their cultivation level.

Han Li's heart stirred.

"Fellow Daoist, if you have items that need to participate in this auction, you can take them out for the three of us to see. But let me say this first: our Four-Tribe Auction only auctions those top-tier materials and treasures. If they are secondary items, please go to the side hall to sell them separately. Also, if you have any dissatisfaction with the appraisal of the three of us, you can raise it on the spot. We will change to another three people to re-appraise them for you." The figure in the middle spoke, her voice crisp and pleasant, but she was a young female.

"Many thanks for the reminder, Fellow Daoist; this junior understands." Han Li's expression remained unchanged as he nodded, then flicked his sleeve, and two items appeared in his hands.

A jade-green jade bottle and a flawless white jade box.

Han Li did not walk over, but threw both items.

Immediately, the two items seemed to be held by an invisible hand, floating slowly toward the three figures, and finally landing steadily in front of them.

The other two figures, who hadn't spoken just now, grabbed the bottle and the jade box into their hands without ceremony.

As soon as the bottle was opened, a rich, unusual medicinal fragrance wafted out, and following this, the sound of a dragon's roar faintly came from inside. A ball of green light, full of spirituality, flew out from inside.

The figure let out a light exclamation, hurriedly closed the bottle cap, and immediately rolled out a sleeve, wrapping the green light in a sheet of white light, and grabbed it into his hand.

He stared at it intently.

He saw that in the green light, there was actually a cyan pill, its surface smooth and full, with a lifelike silver dragon mark imprinted on it.

The figure picked up the pill with two fingers, sniffed it under his nose, and then lowered his head to carefully identify it.

On the other side, the other figure also opened the white jade box.

As a result, there was actually a jade-green bamboo half a foot long inside.

The figure first looked at it for a while, then touched the bamboo with one hand. As a result, after a thunderclap, a golden arc the thickness of a finger actually popped up from the surface of the bamboo.

"This is Gold-Thunder Bamboo!" The figure exclaimed out loud.

"Gold-Thunder Bamboo! Brother, appraise it carefully again." The woman in the middle seemed startled as well, but she urged.

"Fairy, rest assured. I will be more careful." The figure who was appraising the green bamboo took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly, crossed his arms, and stood in place without saying a word.

Following this, the figure reached into his other sleeve and pulled out a pitch-black gourd. It was only a few inches in size and exceptionally exquisite.

The figure turned the gourd mouth upside down, aimed it at the green bamboo in the jade box, and tapped the bottom of the gourd lightly with one hand.

As a result, black light flashed at the gourd mouth, and a ball of black energy the size of a fist sprayed out, striking the green bamboo.

But as soon as the two came into contact, "rumbling" thunder sounded, and several golden arcs appeared again, instantly shattering the black energy.

After the figure finished these actions, he did not stop, then pulled out a jade-green jar and released a streak of green energy from inside. As a result, it was also struck and extinguished by the golden arcs released by the bamboo.

"Not bad, it is indeed Gold-Thunder Bamboo. This old man can be certain." The figure exhaled a long breath and said affirmatively.

"Good work! Fellow Daoist, how is the appraisal of the medicinal pills? Since they can have a trace of spirituality, they must not be ordinary items." The woman nodded and turned her head to ask the other figure.

"This medicinal pill is primarily wood-attributed, with earth and metal attributes as supplements. The medicinal nature has already become spiritual; it is suitable for Upper Tribe members of the seventh or eighth rank to take. If used by the ninth rank, the effect will be less than one-tenth of the original. This pill can definitely be ranked as a top-grade item." The other figure had only stared for a long time just now, and I don't know what means he used, but he actually described the medicinal nature of this Tenglong Pill without the slightest error.

Han Li, standing in place, couldn't help but have a hint of surprise flash across his face.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. Whether it is the Gold-Thunder Bamboo or these medicinal pills, they can participate in this auction. Especially the former, which is enough to be ranked as a finale item. By the way, do those medicinal pills have a name? Also, I will list a starting price for the auction; see if you are satisfied, Fellow Daoist." The woman turned her head and stared at Han Li carefully, then suddenly said with a light laugh.

Following this, without waiting for Han Li to reply, she lifted her hand and wrote something quickly with her fingertip on a pale white jade plaque on the jade table, then tossed it to Han Li.

Han Li grabbed the jade plaque, looked at it casually, and nodded:

"These two starting prices are fine. In any case, this junior believes that these items cannot be sold at the starting price. As for those medicinal pills, they are called 'Tenglong Pills.' Refining them is not easy at all."

"Tenglong Pills, good, we will auction them under this name. Keep that jade plaque in your hand, Fellow Daoist; this is also the basis for settling the spirit stones after the auction ends." The woman said slowly.

"This junior understands! If there are no other problems, I will go to the main hall to wait for the auction results." Han Li cupped his hands to the three and said calmly.

"Go well, Fellow Daoist! We will naturally take care of the items and pass them on." The woman replied with a smile.

Han Li nodded, turned around, and walked back.

I don't know which of the three was controlling the restriction of the room, but without seeing any action from the three, the light screen of the door parted with a flash of cyan light.

Han Li walked out of the room, ignored the others at the entrance, and walked out of the corridor unhurriedly.

The aliens in the hall seemed to be even more numerous, entering the central corridor marked with the auction hall one after another.

Han Li did not hesitate and entered it as well.

Passing through a passage shimmering with yellow light, Han Li appeared in a huge hall.

Sweeping his gaze around, Han Li's expression was somewhat moved.

This hall was not only astonishingly vast in area, but it was also divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower, arranged in the venue.

The middle and upper levels didn't know what material they were refined from, but everything was pure white, and without any support, they were floating quietly in mid-air, appearing extremely mysterious.

The middle and lower levels were all ordinary tables and chairs adjacent to each other by only a zhang. Only the top level consisted of rooms of the same size, and the surface of the rooms flickered with spiritual light from time to time, as if some restriction had been added to them.

Clearly, these rooms were prepared specifically for those with status and position in Cloud City.

Han Li only took one look, then retracted his gaze without interest, found an inconspicuous corner, and sat down.

He waited quietly for the auction to begin.
