The raging blood energy fluctuations were like a furious hurricane, carrying a brutal and primal aura as it swept through the entire venue, startling many people present! It was as if the savage beast on the high platform had come back to life!
"Such a majestic blood energy fluctuation, who could have thought that a dead vicious beast could still retain such terrifying power!"
"With our previous methods, we couldn't detect the slightest clue at all. The Shangguan family is indeed the signature appraisal clan of Myriad Spirits City!"
Many factions clicked their tongues in wonder, even some older generation appraisers were very surprised and full of praise for Shangguan Bihan's performance!
"It seems the foundation of the Shangguan family has not been shaken at all. Earlier years there were rumors that the Shangguan clan's cultivation had hit a bottleneck. Turns out they were just rumors!"
"At such a young age, Miss Shangguan Bihan already has this level of mastery, perhaps she might even surpass the recent generation's clan leader!"
The various rumors from outside were shattered in this moment, and the Shangguan family's own disciples also felt exceptionally excited. With their generation lacking ancestral support, reaching the first stage boundary was already the limit.
"Her control over the second stage is already very meticulous. I'm afraid she'll step into the third stage in a short period of time."
Lin Chen silently assessed, but the winds suddenly shifted within the venue!
"So this is the level of someone my age from the Shangguan family? I've already given you a chance to appraise first, but it's still just this much!"
The cold and arrogant attitude of the young girl drew everyone's gazes. Two strands of icy blue lights intertwined in the void as the young girl left the VIP room, landing nimbly in the venue.
Her hair reached her waist, looking to be around twenty years old. Her pair of icy blue beautiful eyes was breathtakingly stunning. Aloof and noble, her brows were like ink paintings of a spring mountain, her skin like coagulated cream. She was a true glacial beauty.
"Could this young lady be the legendary once-in-a-millennium genius of the Nangong family, Nangong Yunyan?"
The beauty's appearance aroused much curiosity and surprise.
She floated over lightly, and placed her slender fair fingers on the remnants of Vicious Beast #1, beginning to shed light on the remains.
This was a python-shaped vicious beast. Judging solely by the preservation and energy of the remnants, it didn't seem as good as the one Shangguan Bihan had chosen.
Her fingers danced, over a dozen spiritual strands like silk threads seamlessly penetrated into the vicious beast's remnants. A majestic and extraordinary vitality quietly began to grow!
Vitality?
Some of the younger appraisers in the venue revealed looks of shock. How could the remnants of a dead vicious beast contain such exuberant vitality?
"These are the remains of a Yin-Yang Profound Demon Python. Its bloodline while alive was extremely overbearing. If used to refine pills, taking them can obtain the shocking recovery powers of the Profound Demon Python. Even severed limbs and broken legs will quickly heal, ensuring the optimal treatment effect."
Her fingertips withdrew, having extracted a small portion of the awakened Profound Demon Python's bloodline, condensing it into a fist-sized pulsating dark red blood sphere on her fingertips.
Each pulse of the blood sphere triggered a wave of powerful vitality fluctuations. Although its energy wasn't much different from the vicious beast Shangguan Bihan had appraised, it surpassed it in vitality in the eyes of powerful experts. The high and low was clear!
A War Spirit Realm guard walked up on stage, whispering into the white-haired elder's ears before immediately retiring.
The white-haired elder promptly declared with a smile, "After discussion, our clients unanimously choose Vicious Beast #1!"
Whoosh~~!!
An uproar sounded in the venue!
The first confrontation between the Shangguan family and Nangong family ended in the former's defeat!
"Bihan, don't be discouraged. You've done very well."
Shangguan Yunfan comforted his daughter with a sentence, but the latter gritted her teeth with some unwillingness. In terms of talent, she was not below Nangong Yunyan.
"Interesting."
Lin Chen watched the high platform somewhat excitedly. After the previous many wondrous objects and treasures were appraised and awakened by the appraisers, a large number of attribute spheres had fallen from them!
If not for the event still ongoing, Lin Chen couldn't wait to rush up and madly gather the spheres, raising his attributes again!
"Since the other party has made a move, we can't let others laugh at us."
Shangguan Yunfan stood up and went to the front row before the VIP room, a flash of purple flickering in his eyes!
The personally participating Shangguan Yunfan immediately pulled one back for his family in the second round of appraising!
But soon after, other powers in the appraisal competition began to make their moves.
Like the Huangfu family, an old power of the Earth Spirit Sect, causing the competition between the two top appraisal families to become even more intense, each side having wins and losses!
After over half a day, the final stretches of the appraisal competition arrived!
The confrontation between the Shangguan family and Nangong family was exceptionally fiery. Reputation was extremely important in this field.
Being at the peak meant attracting more powerful experts, accumulating unimaginable depths for the faction. So face must be maintained in all situations, except for the appraisal competition!
"Such a terrifying battle, I couldn't even see clearly what the artifacts on stage were before they'd finished appraising them!"
"Both sides should be even at seven each right? They're really fighting tooth and nail!"
The younger appraisers outside the stage swallowed their saliva, secretly breaking into a cold sweat.
Within the VIP room;
"They seem to know the weakness of our Purple Golden Eyes?"
The few elders panted and gasped for breath, overusing the Purple Golden Eyes consumed massive amounts of energy. They looked at each other in shock and surprise.
"The few of us together can barely keep up with them. They must still have energy to spare, and are very clear of the flaws of our Purple Golden Eyes!"
"Are we being targeted? It shouldn't be possible for there to be traitors among my Shangguan family right, could it be...?"
Just as Shangguan Yunfan thought of it, Lin Chen on the side chimed in while nibbling on some fruit, "It should be Nangong Qingyu's mischief from before right."
Shangguan Yunfan smiled helplessly, it turned out he had invited the wolf into his home. He didn't expect this brat to have such calculations after sneaking into their Shangguan family.
At this time, the white-haired elder on the stage loudly announced, "This is the final round of the appraisal competition, please wait a moment, everyone."
Boom~~!
Violent gales blasted over, strangely revealing over a dozen figures tightly protecting all sides of the stage, preventing anyone with ill intent from approaching.
They were all peak stage nine War Spirit Realm experts!
Next, a crystal cabinet descended from thin air, containing four strange and profound treasures!
The first was an incomplete ancient sabre. The blade was curved like a crescent moon, the hilt light purple, encrusted with nine purple jewel beads along the blade.
The second was an ancient tome covered in dust and rust stains from countless years, looking tattered and worn.
The third was shockingly a human ulna, crystalline like jade. Unstained by even a speck of dust, it was placed like a work of art within the cabinet.
The fourth was a fist-sized blue sphere, emitting a faint mystifying glow, nothing else unusual about it at first glance.
The younger appraisers in the front rows couldn't peer through the secrets of these four odd treasures at all!
If they had been randomly found on the streets, they wouldn't even think these were treasures!
However, the appearance of these four objects caused everyone in the VIP rooms to quiet down!
But Lin Chen saw something completely different about these four treasures compared to everyone else!
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
