------------

The auction house has an extremely strict review process, especially for the auction items that flow out of the people, and it is even stricter. Otherwise, the reputation of the auction house will be ruined if fake goods are auctioned.

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?"

Although Lin Ming was wearing a loose robe, his height was still somewhat shorter than that of an adult man. Coupled with his immature voice, it was naturally impossible to cover him up in front of such an auction house deacon who had seen countless people. It's just a fact of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

So Lin Ming simply said in his original voice: "I will identify the inscription symbols."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Ming suspiciously, "Can I have a look at your inscription symbols?" In fact, the man's attitude was already very good. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came to the auction house to appraise It is a treasure, and it is also an inscription symbol with a price of thousands of taels of gold. No matter how you look at this situation, it 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 that was about the same color as straw paper. This was obviously the lowest-grade talisman paper sold on the market. It cannot affect the quality of the inscriptions, but with the status of the inscription masters, it is naturally impossible to use this kind of low-level talisman paper. They often use high-grade talisman paper worth a dozen taels of gold, so that they can match their valuable inscription talismans .

However, feeling the faint energy emanating from the inscription, the middle-aged man was still sure that this was indeed a complete inscription symbol, not a prank. He glanced at Lin Ming and asked, "Is there an inscription talisman issued by the Inscription Master Guild?" certificate documents?"

Lin Ming shook his head.

"Okay, come with me."

The middle-aged man brought Lin Ming to the appraisal room of the auction house. The person in charge of the appraisal was an old man in black who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. Lin Ming noticed that there was a sign on the chest of the old man, which said senior appraiser.

After the old man in black took the inscription talisman, he naturally noticed that the inscription talisman was made of inferior talisman paper, but he didn't show any contempt, but calmly put on his white gloves, and then Dedicated to the 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 strange expression on his face, looked at Lin Ming, then at the inscription symbol, and finally said, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who drew this inscription symbol A person's strength does not exceed the third level of body training, right?"

There will be traces of the maker's true essence left on the inscription symbol. The appraiser can roughly judge the martial arts level of the creator through these traces. The inscription symbol drawn by Lin Ming has a very low level of true essence. Because Lin Ming practiced "Chaos True Essence Jue", the reason why his true energy is thicker than that of warriors of the same level, if he knew that this inscription symbol was just drawn by the fifteen-year-old boy in front of him who only had the first level of physical training, his jaw would probably be shocked It fell to the ground.

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

The old man took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "There are talented people from generation to generation in the country. It is surprising that you can draw inscription symbols with just three levels of physical training!"

Generally speaking, masters of inscriptions are warriors of a certain age, most of them are above the Bone Forging Realm, many have even broken through the Pulse Condensation Realm, and even some are Martial Artists of the Acquired Realm.

It is not uncommon for an inscription apprentice to successfully draw a complete inscription talisman by chance, but it is shocking to draw four identical inscription talismans in a row.

Hearing the old man's praise, Lin Ming thought that the business was almost done, but he didn't expect the old man to change the subject and said: "Although it is a complete inscription symbol, if the maker is just an apprentice of the inscription technique, we I can't be sure about its boosting effect. You have to know that inscription art apprentices generally have a limited amount of real energy, so it's difficult to complete complicated inscription drawing. If the boosting effect of the inscription symbol is less than 10%, it's worthless. This kind of inscription symbol, We can't auction it, if its grade is not up to standard, it will damage the reputation of the auction house."

Inscription symbols can only be used on high-grade treasures, because only high-grade treasures can be used by warriors to concentrate their true energy to fight, and the inscriptions can only increase the combat effectiveness of treasures by changing the flow of improved true energy .

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

Treasures are not something ordinary people can afford to equip. Even the children of big families have to wait until they have reached the stage of muscle-forging and bone-forging before they can get a treasure.

For example, Wang Yigao back then, although he had a good family background, but because of his limited cultivation, he only used a high-quality Qingfeng sword. This Qingfeng sword was not a treasure, and it was only worth two hundred taels of gold.

The number of inscriptions on a treasure is limited, basically only once, that is to say, after one inscription, no more inscriptions can be made. Just imagine, who would buy a treasure with a few thousand taels of gold, and then use the inscription symbol whose quality is difficult to guarantee? What about the inscription

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

Lin Ming expected this result, he said: "I can only auction off three inscription symbols, and use the remaining one for experiments."

After the finished inscription talisman is produced, it is difficult to test the result without engraving it on the treasure. Even the maker himself can only guess that the increase will be between a few percent and a few percent.

Many times, warriors who buy inscription talismans are also trying their luck, so master-level inscription talisman works are very popular because they have a reputation guarantee, but inscription talismans made by lesser-known inscription talismans are often uninterested, and no one will buy them. An inscription talisman with unknown effects, take your own treasure to take risks.

The appraiser said: "Of course it is possible, but you need to provide the treasures for the experiment yourself."

Lin Ming was speechless when he heard this. A treasure is worth several thousand taels of gold. It is impossible for the auction house to casually take out thousands of taels of gold as experimental props.

Of course, it would be different if Lin Ming himself was a master of inscription art, because the master has a guaranteed reputation, and he would not lose money if he took out the treasures for experimentation. Moreover, the auction house is also happy to make friends with such a person, so it is naturally worthwhile to pay a little bit.

When Lin Ming was the richest, it was only more than 800 taels of gold. Where could he get the treasures for experiments

He didn't bother anymore, and he didn't say anything. Believe me, I will definitely not let the treasures you provided suffer any losses. He knew that it wouldn't make any sense to say that. The appraiser wouldn't believe him, after all. Because the true essence fluctuation of this inscription symbol is too weak.

Just like that, Lin Ming turned around and left the official auction house of Sky Fortune City with his four inscription symbols.

"Sorry, we need a certificate from the Inscription Masters Guild, or a document provided by the Inscription Master himself..."

At the Sky Fortune City trade fair, after seeing that Lin Ming was a teenager, the purchaser didn't even give these four inscription symbols a chance to appraise, and directly rejected Lin Ming.

This was still a good attitude, but when Lin Ming went to some private shops, the attitude of these people was even worse.

The trading shops that can sell inscription scrolls are definitely the shops under the jurisdiction of the Great Chamber of Commerce. The shops often have five or six floors, with luxurious interior decoration and magnificent momentum. As for the prices of things, they are naturally ridiculously expensive, often hundreds of taels. Thousands of taels of gold, the clerks and shopkeepers of this kind of shop are also very arrogant. If the God of Wealth comes over, he will naturally be polite, and the hospitality of good tea and water will be good if he is engaged in sales promotion or the poor come to the door. up.

Some of them didn't bother to talk to Lin Ming at all, while others waved their hands away impatiently.

"Where is the child, don't make trouble here, and delay the business."

"Hurry up, this place is not the place for a child of your age to come. Hey... Hey, what do you need, my guest? Come in and have a look..."

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

, it is a kind of enjoyment, it is recommended that you collect it.
