Pushing open the heavy door, Liu Zhaodi and Jiang Yuan entered the appraisal venue one after the other, about ten meters apart.
"Niece Liu, you're really putting on airs! Making us elders wait for you all by ourselves!"
As soon as Liu Zhaodi entered, someone started a fight, and the person who started the fight was Shen Chengye from the Shen family.
"Please forgive me, Patriarch Shen. I have put a lot of effort into preparing for this appraisal event. Otherwise, I don't think Patriarch Shen would want to see such a scene if the appraisal event cannot be completed perfectly!" Liu Zhaodi said calmly and composedly.
"Now that everyone's here, let's not waste any more time!" the person in the seat of honor said with his eyes closed.
"Hey, who's that person wearing a mask behind me?" Shen Chengye noticed Jiang Yuan coming in from behind.
Liu Zhaodi remained silent as Jiang Yuan instructed, while Jiang Yuan sneered and then casually simulated the aura of a scion of a divine emperor family. Combined with his own Three Emperors genes, the oppressive aura silently enveloped the entire treasure appraisal event.
"Greetings, young master!"
Before the forces in the South City could react, several elderly men and young women sitting on the side suddenly stood up and politely bowed to Jiang Yuan.
"Who is this person? To be able to make the Sikong and Zhuang families bow to him, his status must be quite high!"
"Judging from their aura just now, the person who came must be from the Divine Emperor Family, and of high status, otherwise Elder Sikong wouldn't have had to pay his respects!"
The Ji family members were discussing in hushed tones.
"I've heard there's an appraisal event here, and I'm quite interested in that, which is why I asked Miss Liu to bring me here!" Jiang Yuan said, returning the greeting as he spoke.
“Since he is a person of status, the appraisal event will naturally welcome him!” Shen Chengye quickly changed his tune.
"In that case, please take a seat. The appraisal event will begin now!"
Liu Zhaodi gestured for Jiang Yuan to sit in the main seat, but Jiang Yuan simply found a spot in the far corner and remained silent.
"I'm sure everyone is already familiar with the rules of the treasure appraisal event, so I won't go into detail. This event was initiated by my Liu family, so let's start with the Liu family!"
Liu Zhaodi appeared very composed. She took out a black wooden box from behind her and then solemnly opened the box to reveal the contents. She introduced it, saying, "This is something that the Liu family acquired from an ordinary person. According to the seller, this item was brought down by a meteor on the night of the cataclysm, so I think everyone should know its value."
The wooden box was passed around in turn, but each pass lasted less than ten seconds. When the last item was passed to Jiang Yuan, a glint of light appeared in the depths of his eyes.
"Another chosen one, gathering dust!"
Jiang Yuan was utterly astonished. He had originally thought that this treasure appraisal event would be just average, but he was pleasantly surprised right from the start.
"I can't see through it, I can't see through it at all!"
Apart from Jiang Yuan, the others all shook their heads after reading it.
"Now that you've seen it, let me tell you the price of my Liu family! My Liu family are merchants, and we are essentially money-oriented, so this item will be priced in ninth-grade Holy Spirit Stones. The highest bidder wins!" Liu Zhaodi said with a smile, being very magnanimous.
"Everyone, have you figured out its origin?" Shen Chengye said with a sinister smile. Seeing that no one else spoke, he deliberately said, "I also took a look. Although this thing looks like a stone, it is better than a stone. Since my niece Liu is willing to bring out such an extraordinary stone for appraisal, then I, as her elder, cannot let her lose face!"
"Therefore, my Shen family will contribute one! A ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stone!"
Shen Chengye's mocking laughter echoed through the hall, and it was obvious to anyone with eyes that it was a deliberate attempt to ridicule him.
"The Shen family will contribute one piece, what about the others?" Liu Zhaodi showed no sign of anything unusual, as if Shen Chengye's sarcasm was just part of a normal auction.
"It's really useless. Based on my years of experience, this thing looks like just an ordinary stone!"
"I don't see anything unusual about it either!"
The appraisers invited by other factions all spoke up, but none of them showed any interest in what Liu Zhaodi had brought out.
"Northern Alliance, bid one thousand!"
After a half-minute silence, the second bidder came from the North City Alliance. This time, the North City Alliance sent a middle-aged man with two bars and four stars on his shoulders. This rank was already that of a senior colonel, and his status in the North City Alliance must be quite high.
Liu Zhaodi finally felt relieved. If their first item had ended in a dismal failure with a ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stone, they would have faced all sorts of criticism. The fact that the Northern City Alliance was willing to raise the price was undoubtedly a relief for them.
"Ten thousand!"
Just when everyone thought the first treasure was settled, the sudden discovery of 10,000 drew everyone's attention again.
"Jiang Yuan?" Liu Zhaodi's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected Jiang Yuan to make a move.
"Oh my, people these days really have refined tastes. They can offer ten thousand for a single stone. Could this be a shill hired by the Liu family?" Shen Chengye said sarcastically.
Liu Zhaodi's expression turned cold. She said calmly, "Please be careful with your words, Patriarch Liu. Everyone who comes to the treasure appraisal meeting is a person of importance. My Liu family is not so despicable as to need to ask for favors!"
Jiang Yuan smiled faintly upon hearing this, and then said to Shen Chengye, "Even if Miss Liu's item is just a stone, it's worth ten thousand! As for whether I'm a shill, to be honest, none of the forces present can afford to hire me as one!"
"Tsk tsk!"
Various opinions arose at the treasure appraisal event, and these arrogant words naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of several people.
"It seems this young master is quite wealthy. In that case, I'll also take a look and see if this stone is worth the price!"
Ji Kaiping suddenly spoke up and raised the price: "Fifty thousand!"
