Chapter 1772: Golden Inlaid (1/2)
Li Qiye resembled a skillful butcher with his effortless knife technique to the astonishment of the crowd. Even non-experts could tell that Li Qiye was an amazing appraiser. His surgical precision alone could put anyone from the same generation to shame.
Appraisers from the Stone Workshop and the genius appraiser, Li Langxuan, became serious after seeing him at work. They knew that they have met a fellow master.
On the other hand, the prince’s expression became worse. He a.s.sumed that Li Qiye was a novice, not a master of this level.
“I’ve never seen a mortal appraiser before.” The majority of cultivators here was in awe.
This was something they have never seen before since it wasn’t so easy becoming an appraiser. Normally, cultivators eventually became appraisers after gaining enough experience and understanding of dao materials and fetuses. Of course, the appraisers here were even more shocked. This mortal was a brilliant appraiser.
Li Langxuan felt that this mortal has reached a frightening level of mastery while watching his cutting technique. The crowd held their breath as Li Qiye sliced out another thin layer.
They were aware that the Jilin Clan was absolutely capable of starting a workshop in this place; otherwise, financial ruin was imminent. Thus, the appraisers here were exceptional compared to the rest.
A dao material graded at the White Adornment level should normally produce a White Adornment fetus. Only a negligible number of materials could be mistakenly judged by them.
Li Qiye finally removed the outer layer to reveal the complete fetus. The cutting process was a true test for an appraiser. Any carelessness could damage the fetus inside.
“It’s out!” Everyone opened their eyes wider in order to look at the fetus in his palm.
It was a tiny saber that was made from laws woven together. The laws were full of primordial chaos energy as if the saber itself was creating them.
Golden strings appeared within this fetus together with the laws so they emitted a golden glow.
“It’s a saber fetus of the Golden Inlaid grade!” A cultivator shouted.
The grade of a dao fetus was the following, from worst to best: White Adornment, Violet Force, Golden Inlaid, Orange Martial, and Heaven Bestowment.
Thus, it was quite shocking for Li Qiye to cut a Golden Inlaid fetus out of a White Adornment material. The appraisers that could work here were masters of their craft but they have made a mistake with this particular material.
“I want this pile of White Adornments!” A sect master reacted quickly and immediately told a worker in order to buy everything in this corner.
The slower crowd felt a tinge of regrets for not being as fast.
Even though buying so many White Adornments was a foolish action, if he could be lucky as Li Qiye to get a Golden Inlaid fetus, he would make up his investment and more.
A friend told an appraiser from the workshop: “Even the masters can get it wrong sometimes.”
