Chapter 105 - Old Man And Young Appraiser
Bai Rouyun was not unhappy with such a situation. Being in a low ranked class was rather beneficial for her to move around without anyone noticing. In fact, she considered if she should stay in the class for a bit longer, not to limit her freedom.
She left the academy and strolled around in the city’s busy streets before moving towards the branch of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion located within the Canglan City.
She found a small alleyway, took out a large black, hooded robe from her qiankun bag, placed it on her body, took the hood down, and ensured that none of her features could be seen.
She then entered the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, where she looked around with a slow and lazy demeanor. She looked languid and unrestrained; her actions were bold but lazy.
Everyone noticed her the moment she entered because of her strange clothes, but she did not seem to care about the many gazes that were thrown her way.
Instead, she slowly moved towards the appraisal desk. She looked at the young appraiser who was seated in the chair and curled her lips. Poor guy was going to be scared by her soon.
"I need to see a manager," she said, as she took out the token that she had gotten back in the Imperial Capital.
The token was extremely precious, only a few had been handed out, and the ones who had one were the most valuable customers to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Even the entire Shitian Tower would show them respect.
Seeing the token, the young man paled noticeably, and just as Bai Rouyun had expected, he got an extreme scare. Such a valuable customer, he dared not be the slightest bit dismissive.
"Distinguished guest, please wait a moment," he said as he stood up and gave a deep bow to Bai Rouyun. Seeing his appearance, she waved her hand casually and looked at the rest of the customers in the store.
They, too, were observing her with interest. Some of them were rather shrewd and knew the significance of the token she had displayed, while others were just curious about her strange clothes.
It did not take long before an older man appeared next to the young appraiser. His eyes were full of expectations, and he was slightly trembling in excitement.
"Young hero, what can we do for you?" He asked when he saw Bai Rouyun standing casually next to the appraiser stand, and his eyes were flashing with calculations.
Everyone who had the token she had displayed was extremely wealthy. The appraiser had said that she had come with a treasure, and since it could be considered a treasure for this person, then it had to be something good.
Although the Canglan City was rather significant in size, it was not often they had real treasures, and as a result, their auctions were successful but never overly crowded.
If they could show something precious that many wanted to get their hands on, then that would be beneficial to their auction house.
Bai Rouyun’s lips twitched when she saw the eager eyes of the old man. This was like he was seeing a gold statue and had decided to bring it home with him; he was simply a money-grubbing old man!
But that was beneficial to Bai Rouyun. She looked at the two of them and glanced at the surroundings. The old man instantly understood her thoughts and said with a laugh. "Young hero, follow me to a room at the back. I am sure you will be much more comfortable there, and we can pour you some tea."
The many people observing Bai Rouyun were somewhat disappointed that they did not get to hear what treasure it was, but if the auction house got their hands on it, then they would definitely know about it soon.
The auction house was not stupid, anything that was valuable would be marketed, and everyone would hear about it, whether they wanted to or not.
The old man led Bai Rouyun into a small room, and he made the young appraiser serve some tea. He was curious as to who this person was, but he dared not ask. It was clear that she had no interest in showing her face due to the large hood she had covering her face, but from the fair and slender fingers that held the tea cup, he could guess that it was a young and beautiful woman.
Bai Rouyun did not mind him knowing her gender or age, but she was not interested in showing her face yet. If they had good teamwork in the future, then there was a chance, but now she did not know his personality yet.
"I have a marrow-cleansing pill. Refined from an ancient recipe and without impurities."
At first, the man was slightly frowning. Marrow-Cleansing Pills were not common, but they could be bought if you had enough gold. However, when he heard that it was refined from an ancient pill recipe and that it was without impurities, his eyes widened in shock. Without impurities! That was impossible to find.
Even if such pills existed, no one in their right mind would sell them, as they had a use for them. But now this young woman had appeared and was ready to sell it?
Bai Rouyun knew that he was unsure, so she waved her hand, and a pill bottle appeared on the table. She slowly opened it and poured out the Marrow-Cleansing Pill.
The glossy outside and the scent of herbs was amazing, and the old man was shocked. "Fetch our alchemist!" he called out to the young appraiser, who nodded his head and ran away faster than the wind.
Seeing their actions, Bai Rouyun just smiled as she placed the pill in the bottle again. It was naturally best to get it appraised by a knowing person.
