Chapter 4, Zhao Yongli (Part 2)

Zhao Yongli, it is actually him

In the face of such individuals, if we were to take action ourselves, there would be no chance of winning at all. Moreover, Zhao Yongli has always had a very good reputation, so it is unlikely that he would owe us any money

It has indeed been authenticated

In a spacious room, a figure with an indistinct appearance, whose features cannot be clearly discerned, continuously adds indistinct medicinal herbs into a nearby alchemical furnace. This person diligently refines the materials, and after a considerable amount of time, the elixir is finally produced

Upon thinking of this, he reached into the pouch at his waist and, after a moment of searching, found that the pouch was empty

The person stood there, staring blankly at the seemingly youthful boy in front of him. The reason he came here was out of necessity; he had merely heard others say that the appraisers here were quite skilled, so he decided to give it a try. To his surprise, this boy actually identified a treasure!

The repellent property of the water-repellent bead was already quite strong last time, but this elixir possesses an even stronger repellent property than the water-repellent bead

Lin Yiming nodded, turned, and walked into the quiet room. He had tested elixirs before, but not many, as many elixirs did not require an appraiser for identification; a alchemist could directly recognize what type of elixir it was.

He had almost given up after waiting so long for the person in front of him to come out, but who would have thought that the other party actually identified the treasure.

After someone praised Lin Yiming for a few moments, he suddenly changed his tone and said seriously: "Young brother, I see you possess such remarkable appraisal skills. Why not seek a path in the town? After all, there are more opportunities and higher income in the town. If you are interested, I can recommend you to work as a specialized appraiser at the auction house in the town."

The Death-Defying Pill, a miraculous healing elixir that can snatch life from the heavens. No matter how severe the injury, even if there is only a final breath left, as long as there is a moment with the Death-Defying Pill, it can bring one back to life

It is said that Zhao Yongli was originally an ordinary person, but later, due to some unknown fortuitous encounter, his strength greatly increased

Lin Yiming thought of this and nodded slightly at Zhao Yong, saying: "Alright, then I will come to find you for the money when I have time to go to the town."

Zhao Yong's embarrassment on his face finally diminished significantly, and he smiled at another friendly person, saying: "I have something to attend to, so I will take my leave now. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future"

This person often ventures out on adventures, enjoys standing up for justice, and has a significant reputation

As soon as the jade bottle was opened, a wave of fragrant aroma rapidly spread throughout the room, instantly refreshing the mind and spirit of those who inhaled it

The name Zhao Yongli has been heard countless times over the past few years. Indeed, in the countryside, in towns, and even in cities, Zhao Yongli is quite a renowned wanderer throughout the entire Dongshan County.

This ... ...

Zhao Yongli, it seems I have misjudged him; his strength is not only that of a true disciple, but also that of a direct disciple!

"Two hundred taels of silver?" The other party was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted. For a precious elixir like the Duotian Dan, charging a fee of two hundred taels of silver for appraisal is already quite reasonable. If it were appraised at an auction house, it would likely cost around three hundred taels of silver.

He suddenly realized that he had never paid for the appraisal of treasures at the auction house in the past. Moreover, he had never had the habit of carrying money with him.

The mental strength of appraisers is quite limited, and very few appraisers can endure for such a long time. What on earth is that kid doing in the room?

As he spoke, the bearded man took out a business card and placed it in front of Lin Yiming: "This is my business card. Whenever you wish to visit the auction house, just bring this card, and you will naturally be attended to there. Even if you do not wish to go to the auction house, should you encounter any trouble in the town, you can use this card to seek assistance from the people at the auction house"

The onlookers gazed towards the direction of the secret room, feeling quite perplexed. How could that young man have been inside for such a long time without coming out? Normally, by now, he should have emerged.

Outside the house

So many experienced appraisers were unable to identify the treasure, yet this young man managed to do so despite his youth. This young man has an unlimited future ahead of him

"Well, little brother," the other party said, feeling quite embarrassed as he scratched his head, his face flushed. He hesitated and said, "Little brother, I forgot to bring money."

Once again strengthening the output of his mental power, Lin Yiming's mental energy finally fully entered the elixir, and at the same time, a scene emerged in his mind

Upon seeing this, Lin Yiming felt a wave of dizziness in his mind. He quickly withdrew his mental energy and took a brief moment to rest for one or two breaths before regaining control and re-entering.

Upon entering the room, the other party took out a pill contained within a jade bottle

In the room, images of the elixir continuously appeared in Lin Yiming's mind, and finally, the scene of the elixir being auctioned at the auction house emerged.

After such a long time, even in the town, it is likely that only the president of the appraisal guild's branch in the town could possess such mental strength. However, how old is the branch president, and how old is this young man before me!

"Did you forget to bring money?" Lin Yiming's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to ring the alarm in the room. However, in the next moment, he stopped his hand. After all, the other party had brought a powerful exotic beast. Even if all the villagers in the village, along with himself, were to join forces, they would likely not be a match for that one exotic beast. What should he do?

In the quiet room, Lin Yiming conveyed the information he had gathered about the deadly pill.

Seeing the determination in Lin Yiming's eyes, the other party ceased further persuasion. At that moment, Lin Yiming suddenly seemed to recall something and spoke: "By the way, you have yet to pay me the appraisal fee. You are already aware of the value of this elixir and should understand the difficulty of the appraisal. As appraisers, we charge different fees based on the varying difficulties of the treasures. For the appraisal of this particular treasure, due to its complexity, I must charge you a fee of two hundred taels of silver."

The other party left a business card and then added a remark before turning to take their leave. Lin Yiming could tell that they indeed had other matters to attend to

Strongly exclusive, either the identified item possesses very unique qualities, or the item has endured a long passage of time, thus naturally generating a resistance to spiritual energy

The Shuiyao Sect, where he originally belonged, had invited him several times and promised to accept him as a direct disciple, yet he still declined.

Cough cough... Little brother, I truly forgot... The other party awkwardly touched his beard and said: "How about this, whenever you have time, you can take a trip to the town... You can go to the auction house to collect the money from me, or after I return, I can send someone to deliver the money to you."

"Is it really the Heaven-Defying Pill? Haha, it truly is a case of searching high and low without success, only to find it effortlessly. I was still troubled searching for such treasures everywhere, yet unexpectedly, I have one right in my hands." The other party fixed their gaze on Lin Yiming, sincerity evident in their eyes, and said: "Little brother, I am truly grateful to you. The saying that great talents are found among the common people is indeed not wrong.

Lin Yiming focused his mental energy into the elixir. As soon as his mental energy began to probe deeper, he furrowed his brow; the elixir exhibited a remarkably strong repulsion.

Lin Yiming casually took the business card and glanced at it briefly. Upon seeing the name on it, he inhaled sharply.

Before coming here, I found the most skilled appraisers at the auction house in the town, and they were all unable to authenticate this treasure. Yet, in your hands, it was authenticated so quickly. Young brother, you are truly remarkable

I want to appraise this elixir, young brother, why don't you give it a try

The elixirs brought for appraisal are generally rare, and due to their scarcity, many alchemists are unable to identify what type of elixir it is.

Lin Yiming thought for a moment and shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness, but there are people I wish to protect in this village, and I do not plan to leave the village for the time being"

In that case, the other party has been appraising the treasures all this time.
