Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Can’t Identify a Single One!

Soon, Ling Feng followed Yan Cangtian on a familiar route and arrived at the appraisal area of the Heavenly Alliance Auction House, where specialized appraisers were available to evaluate a variety of treasures.

”Good day to you both. How may I assist you?”

The servant guarding the door hurriedly greeted the two figures clad in black cloaks, their entire bodies meticulously concealed.

The Sky Alliance Commerce always conducted business with both the upright and the underworld; this servant was no stranger to clients dressed like Ling Feng and his companion.

”We have some elixirs that we would like to get appraised and exchange for credit with the Heavenly Alliance. Take us to see an appraiser!” Yan Cangtian said with a wide grin, adding, ”Oh, and make sure you find an appraiser with some decent eye power, otherwise they might not be able to handle it.”

The servant chuckled inwardly but maintained a gentle smile, replying lightly, ”Our Heavenly Alliance appraisers are all among the best; please be at ease on this matter.”

With that, the servant bowed slightly and gestured with a ”please”, ”Gentlemen, follow me.”

They followed the young servant along a dazzlingly opulent corridor, quickly arriving at a luxurious appraisal room.

”Master Boyang, there are clients here to have their elixirs appraised. Please assist them.”

The servant knocked on the door discreetly, his tone very respectful.

This Boyang was a high-level appraiser of the Sky Alliance Commerce, particularly renowned for his exceptional skill in appraising elixirs. Thus, despite his young age, he was already referred to as ”Master”.

”Come in,” the voice was somewhat cold and carried a hint of arrogance – a common trait among those who gain fame at a young age.

The servant opened the door, ushering Yan Cangtian and Ling Feng inside before standing to one side, whispering, ”Gentlemen, this is our renowned elixir appraiser of the Sky Alliance Commerce.”

”Hmph, you mean Appraisal Master!” Master Boyang frowned, not lifting his head, and extended his hand, his voice indifferent, ”What elixirs do you have? Bring them here.”

Seeing this so-called grandmaster’s arrogance, Yan Cangtian patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, ”Kid, bring out the goods and let this fellow have an eye-opening experience!”

”Hmm,” Ling Feng shrugged, seemingly unimpressed by this ’master’, and took out a jade box from the Spirit Storage Ring, placing it on the appraisal table.

Boyang heard Yan Cangtian’s bold proclamation about giving him an ’eye opener’ and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. His gaze fell on the jade box, and his eyelids twitched ever so slightly.

This jade box was a fine treasure, made of the very precious Warm Jade.

Generally, only upper grade elixirs would be stored in Warm Jade.

Gently opening the jade box, Boyang first casually glanced at the elixirs inside. There were two rows of elixirs, twelve in total, and each of a completely different kind.

Each round, plump elixir quietly lay in the grooves of the box, covered by jade plates preventing the medicinal properties from interacting with one another.

A very clever storage method indeed!

Boyang’s expression grew solemn as he gently lifted the jade plate from the first groove and leaned forward to take a sniff, about to comment when his face suddenly underwent a drastic change.

He took another deep inhale, his expression becoming increasingly uncertain.

”This... this...”

Boyang swallowed, rubbing his eyes vigorously, closed the first jade plate, then opened the second, sniffed earnestly, and even took out the elixir to inspect it carefully in the palm of his hand for a long time.

His complexion grew increasingly solemn.

The servant by the side was utterly dumbfounded, having never seen Master Boyang so flustered and at a loss before.

Yan Cangtian and Ling Feng exchanged a glance, a faint smile appearing on their lips.

An Ancient Miracle Pill, if this guy doesn’t have the slightest inkling, how could he dare call himself a ”master”?

”What a pure fragrance, almost devoid of any impurities, indicating extremely skillful handling during the refinement! Furthermore, this kind of elixir, I’ve actually never heard of it!”

Boyang gently placed the second elixir back down and proceeded to identify the third, then the fourth...

By the time he reached the fifth elixir, he had grown pale and was breaking out in a sweat on his forehead.

He couldn’t recognize any of these first five elixirs!

A master?

He truly had no right to call himself a master!

Having placed the elixirs back into the jade box, Boyang’s hands began to tremble slightly as he slowly stood up and bowed respectfully to Yan Cangtian and Ling Feng, ”Gentlemen, these elixirs, I... I cannot identify them.”

Boyang’s face was filled with immense shame, even lowering his head like a defeated rooster.

Yan Cangtian curled his lips in contempt, secretly feeling proud; as an Alchemy Grandmaster with the skills of a Seventh Rank Alchemist, it had taken him no less than a decade to perfect these elixir recipes. If this kid could recognize them, he would kneel before him and call him master!

He couldn’t help but steal a glance at Ling Feng—surely in all the world, only a monster like Ling Feng could keep up with his level of skill.

The young servant standing to the side couldn’t help swallowing hard as he saw the normally arrogant Master Boyang...

Actually bowing his head!

”Unable to identify? Aren’t the appraisers of the Heavenly Alliance the best there is?” Yan Cangtian’s voice carried a hint of teasing, making Boyang flush with humiliation.

Gritting his teeth, he said in a deep voice, ”Please wait in the room, gentlemen. I will immediately ask my teacher, Master Jing Xuan, to come and identify these. There definitely won’t be any problems if he steps in.”

”Go on, then,” Yan Cangtian waved his hand impatiently, ”I don’t have much time!”

”Yes!” Boyang bowed respectfully to Yan Cangtian, now fully aware that Yan Cangtian must be some old monster of the Alchemist World, coming here in disguise to appraise pills was simply bullying!

”Look after these two masters well for me; I’ll be right back!” Boyang gave the servant a stern look and then hastened out of the room.

A storm of astonishment raged in the young servant’s heart as he respectfully brewed tea and poured water for Ling Feng and Yan Cangtian, now displaying total deference.

Soon after, Boyang finally returned with an old man whose hair and beard were both white, and with a stout physique, especially with a belly like that of a general, as though five months pregnant.

This tall and hefty old man entered, immediately bowing with cupped fists to Yan Cangtian and Ling Feng, and said with a hearty laugh, ”Haha, which friend from the world of alchemy has come here to amuse my unworthy disciple?”

Yan Cangtian cast a look back at the chubby elder and said indifferently, ”This old man has no interest in teasing your disciple. You are Master Jing Xuan, right? Let’s hurry up with the appraisal of these elixirs!”

Master Jing Xuan, trying to discern who this mysterious elder might be from Yan Cangtian’s voice, soon realized he had no way of knowing the other’s identity and could only shake his head and let out a slight sigh. He quickly walked over to the appraisal table, gently opened the jade box, and began to seriously appraise the contents.

As the reputation of the Sky Alliance Commerce was at stake, the old man naturally dared not be careless.
