Lin Chen sat in the best vip seat, he looked at the crystal counter over ten meters high with interest, inside it were dozens of uneven, translucent blue crystal ores placed in sequence.
"This is the treasure for the first round of appraisal, Mysterious Water Essence Mine. The sect who entrusted this hopes the appraisers can identify the highest quality part of the batch of Mysterious Water Essence Mine to forge ten third-rank weapons, needing only about seven zhang in size, the remaining Mysterious Water Essence Mine will belong to the Treasure Appraiser. Please appraise."
The entrusting sect will give part of the entrusted treasure to the Treasure Appraiser, this is an unspoken rule in the field. Of course, other generous rewards can also replace it.
Every Treasure Appraiser may be tied to a power, they are tied to each other, in order to obtain the reward from the entrusting side, they would usually appraise the best part of the treasure.
Because none of the Treasure Appraisers can be 100% certain that only they can appraise the highest quality.
This is like both sides of Treasure Appraisers, if one side sees through the best quality of the treasure, but does not point it out to the entrusting side, instead gives an answer that is not the best.
Then in this case, the opponent may also see the best quality of the treasure, and give a better answer than the former, then the reward will belong to the latter!
This is the true meaning of the existence of the Treasure Appraisal Conference! In order to avoid one side of the Treasure Appraiser power seeing through the quality of the treasure and profiting silently, there will be several Treasure Appraisal sects or powers at the Treasure Appraisal Conference!
As soon as the old man finished speaking, two young men raised their hands immediately.
"The 13th Mysterious Water Essence Mine has the highest quality."
"The 15th Mysterious Water Essence Mine has the best quality!"
The two young Treasure Appraisers gave different answers. The old man smiled slightly.
"Then let the two Treasure Appraisers come on stage to illuminate these two crystals, please illuminate without damaging the appraisal crystals."
Every Treasure Appraiser has one chance to 'illuminate', revealing the mysterious veil of the appraised treasure!
The two Treasure Appraisers each displayed their prowess, one operated the water elemental art, and the other cast the Treasure Appraisal Incantation, using spiritual power to elicit the energy of the Mysterious Water Essence Mine!
Boom!
Two pillars of light rose up, dense water elemental energy filled the entire platform, and the two Mysterious Water Essence Mines were illuminated to reveal their hidden essence!
But the 13th Mysterious Water Essence Mine's illuminated water elemental energy was clearly superior!
The illumination method is also a hard skill for Treasure Appraisers.
Because of the uniqueness of the Treasure Appraisal Conference, no one can prove whether a Treasure Appraiser's vision is accurate, being able to discern the hidden quality and opportunity of various treasures while also having the means to elicit the might contained within, this is the illumination in treasure appraisal!
This scene made Lin Chen's eyes wide open, because after the Mysterious Water Essence Mine was illuminated, it dropped a string of blue light balls, all of which were attribute light balls containing pure water elemental energy!
"What a pity, I can't rush up now to pick up these attribute light balls, otherwise my True Water Returning Origin Art could progress further."
Lin Chen regretted secretly, and continued to watch the Treasure Appraisal Conference.
After that, several more Treasure Appraisers went on stage to illuminate other Mysterious Water Essence Mines, the energy elicited exceeded that of the 15th Mysterious Water Essence Mine earlier, but was still slightly inferior to the 13th.
In the end, the young Treasure Appraiser who appraised the 13th Mysterious Water Essence Mine won!
For this, the many senior figures on the stage were not moved at all, some were even chatting and laughing, they didn't take this seriously at all!
This was just the prelude of the young people trying their hand, the real highlight of the Treasure Appraisal Conference was still to come!
"These are the five damaged weapons recently unearthed from the Ruins of Destruction, suspected to have the quality of fourth-rank on some individual weapons. Please appraise which of the damaged weapons has the highest possibility of being repaired. Reward: Three top-grade third-rank pills."
Many young people began to engage in fierce treasure appraisal competition; letting the seniors see the potential of the new power.
...
"These are the seven damaged remnants of ancient heart methods unearthed, it is said that only one records a cultivatable heart method. Please appraise and illuminate which of the damaged heart method remnants contains the cultivation manual. Reward: Two top-grade third-rank pills that can restore spiritual power, and one top-grade green-rank combat skill."
The Treasure Appraisal Conference gradually progressed to the later parts, Lin Chen watched with great interest. Just as he couldn't help but feel itchy to try his newly cultivated Purple Golden Eyes, the cold voice of a girl resounded across the venue!
"The 2nd damaged heart method remnants records a cultivatable heart method."
Everyone was stunned, and looked towards the voice, it was the Nangong Family in the vip seats!
The Nangong Family, said to be comparable with the Shangguan Family in the past, but this ranking was already fifty years ago. Now that the Shangguan Family had restored their ancestral shrine, it was still undetermined who was superior.
As soon as she finished speaking, a strand of spiritual light shot out from the vip room, rolling into the second book among the seven damaged ancient books placed on the crystal counter, instantly illuminating rows of overbearing large words!
War Dragon Formula; Lower green-rank heart method, temper battle qi to nurture dragon momentum, every attack sends out is like a war dragon flying to the sky!
Hiss!
Rustling sounds of gasping aired throughout the venue, identifying a lower green-rank heart method with one move, the Nangong Family is indeed formidable!
"This heart method is incomplete, compared to a real green-rank heart method it still lacks some level, but this move is enough to show that the Nangong Family has begun to provoke us."
Shangguan Yunfan's eyes narrowed, since the other side had already made a move, they would have to respond!
Everyone looked forward to it, next was the face-off between the two top families after decades!
"These are the remains of three ferocious beasts that the client risked his life to retrieve from the most dangerous Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range in the wastelands a few days ago. The client hopes to identify which ferocious beast remains are most suitable for refining bone-tempering and essence-supplementing pills. If perfect appraisal results can be obtained, the client will gift one ferocious beast remain to the appraiser!"
On the high platform appeared three remains of giant beasts over ten zhang huge, the elder decisively looked towards the highest level vip area, these remains of ferocious beasts were existences that broke through the fourth rank, comparable to cultivators at the Earth Demonic realm!
Competing at this level, only the top appraisal families were qualified to appraise treasures!
"Bihan, it's your turn."
Shangguan Yunfan signaled to his daughter with a meaningful look, Shangguan Bihan nodded and stood up, her eyes like dazzling gems were covered by a hint of purple-gold!
"It's the second stage boundary, Eyes Like Observing Fire!"
Lin Chen recognized Shangguan Bihan's boundary, secretly surprised. Shangguan Bihan was only 20 years old, when she was born, her family ancestral shrine was already near closure, she was able to cultivate to the 'Eyes Like Observing Fire' boundary almost entirely through her own efforts and talent!
"The number 3 ferocious beast remain has the effect of long term preservation of its own blood essence. It has higher value for refining, when refining, extracting its bloodline essence can also achieve over 80 percent of its living state, best for refining top-rank bone-mending and marrow-replenishing pills, can play an extremely important role at critical moments of life and death!"
Shangguan Bihan's elegant and extraordinary voice sounded like heavenly music, spreading across the entire venue.
Accompanying her voice, fuzzy purple light rippled and permeated into the number 3 ferocious beast remain. The ferocious beast remain immediately emanated the sound of surging tides, its majestic vital energy was like shocking waves and raging tsunami, sweeping the entire venue!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system?

However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
