However... Mu Hanyan, who was walking behind him, clearly saw that the old charlatan was rubbing his hands on his clothes with his back. His hands were clean, but the back of his clothes was covered in oil.
Mu Hanyan looked at the greasy back of the old charlatan's clothes and couldn't help but recall Wenren Qingqiu's two equally greasy sleeves. It was a pity that Wenren Qingqiu left a little early, otherwise they would have a lot in common.
"Junior Yang Hong is here to pay his respects to Senior Qu." Yang Hong also bowed to Qu Shanling politely.
"No need to be so polite." The old charlatan acted like an elder and waved his hand.
"I heard that Senior Qu has a keen eye for the sky and the earth. I would like to ask you to help identify this griffin egg." Yang Hong continued.
"You already said it's a griffin egg, why do you want me to identify it? Haha, just follow me." The old charlatan laughed, with a face full of the tolerance and kindness of a moral elder. Everyone could tell he was joking.
Yang Hong followed Qu Shanling into the auction hall, and the others followed closely. Some people with status went inside, while most people crowded outside the door to watch the excitement.
Mu Hanyan and Mu Nan didn't want to show up too much, but they were curious about the griffin eggs, so they followed in.
"You know all the rules of treasure appraisal in our Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, right?" Manager Sun spoke first and asked Yang Hongdao.
Of course, appraisals come with a fee. According to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce's rules, the buyer pays for the treasure. However, this comes with a prerequisite: the treasure must be auctioned at the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. If it fails to sell, the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce will not take a cent. However, there's no way an appraised treasure would fail to sell. Even if the price is lower, it will always be sold. In any case, the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce will not suffer any loss.
"Don't worry, sir. I have already found out everything clearly before coming to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce." Yang Hong replied.
"That's good. Master, we can start now." Manager Sun nodded and said to Qu Shanling.
Qu Shanling had a solemn expression on his face. He straightened his collar, walked to the incense table, lit three sticks of incense, prayed silently for a moment, and then returned to the table.
His expression was so solemn and dignified that the people watching the excitement around him couldn't help but become serious. No one whispered anymore, and the atmosphere in the entire auction hall became solemn.
This charlatan! Mu Hanyan laughed secretly. Others didn't notice, but she saw it clearly. When the old charlatan burned incense, there was still oil shining between his fingers. When he prayed, his hand touched his chest, but he subconsciously touched the pork leg in his arms and swallowed quietly. He must be hungry again.
Qu Shanling's eyes flashed with divine light, and he made several mysterious and profound spells with his hands. A faint light mist emerged from between his fingers, wrapping around the "griffin egg" like silk.
"What a magical treasure appraisal skill! I've seen many treasure appraisal masters' methods before, but I've never seen one as magical as this." Although the atmosphere was solemn, some people couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw Qu Shanling showing off this skill.
"You don't understand, right? Master Qu is not only a treasure appraiser, but also a astrologer. His treasure appraisal skills and astrologer skills complement each other, so his methods are naturally much better than those of ordinary treasure appraisers." Someone looked at him with disdain and explained, feeling complacent about knowing Master Qu's true identity.
