The Cultivators all had Heaven Profound Realm Ninth Level cultivation, yet they were still assigned to guard the auction house entrance.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of awe.
Upon reaching the main entrance, the dozen or so individuals merely glanced at Qin Xuan and then ignored him.
After all, Qin Xuan's current cultivation was only at Heaven Profound Realm Fourth Level, which they didn't take seriously.
Qin Xuan had previously used Thousand Transformations Illusion to alter his face, making himself less conspicuous.
As Qin Xuan stepped through the main entrance of the auction house, his eyes immediately lit up.
The exterior of the auction house appeared spacious enough, but the interior was even more massive.
It was evident that some technique of 'Mustard Seed within Sumeru' had been employed to further expand the space within.
However, what truly astonished Qin Xuan was the extremely luxurious decoration throughout the entire auction house.
The ceiling of the auction house mimicked the color of the sky with blue crystals, while the surroundings were adorned with magnificent jade and gold panels, creating an incredibly resplendent sight.
Directly in front of Qin Xuan was a spiral staircase made of pure gold, and above the staircase was the venue for the current auction.
The Second Layer of the entire auction house was this largest auction hall.
"That's truly extravagant."
Qin Xuan secretly clicked his tongue.
The Da Qian Dynasty regarded this auction house as its facade, so it was naturally decorated with great care.
In addition to the massive auction hall on the Second Layer, there were also four medium-sized auction halls on the first floor.
Besides these four medium-sized auction halls, there were also hundreds of individually separated rooms around, each with a corresponding number at its door.
At this moment, people were coming and going throughout the main hall, with some occasionally entering these small rooms.
Qin Xuan merely glanced at them and understood.
These small rooms should be the appraisal rooms.
Last time in Xuanlong City, when he went to that Building Outside the Building, he also visited a similar appraisal room.
However, since this was the Great Qian Capital's auction house, it should logically be much better than the shady one in Xuanlong City.
Clearing his throat, Qin Xuan was about to walk over when, at that moment, a maid approached him.
"Does this Great Master wish to appraise something?"
Her voice was clear and pleasant, like new rain in an empty mountain or an oriole's song.
Qin Xuan sized up the maid, and his expression subtly tightened.
Although this maid's cultivation was only at Rookie Realm Ninth Level, she seemed to be skilled in enchantment arts.
The moment Qin Xuan looked over, her eyes sparkled and flowed like a clear autumn pond.
Impressive, even a maid responsible for greeting guests had Rookie Realm Ninth Level cultivation and was even skilled in enchantment arts.
"Yes, I have some Medicinal Pills here."
Qin Xuan spoke calmly.
Hearing Qin Xuan's flat tone, seemingly unaffected, the maid was somewhat surprised.
She had seen many guests who came here to auction, and while many had considerable self-control, very few could achieve this level.
Even those with self-control were often Cultivators with very high cultivation.
It was exceptionally rare for a Tianxuan Realm Cultivator like Qin Xuan to possess such self-control.
"Appraising Medicinal Pills?"
Upon hearing that Qin Xuan was here to appraise Medicinal Pills, the maid's initially enthusiastic face immediately became much calmer.
No other reason than that Medicinal Pills brought by someone like Qin Xuan for appraisal were generally not of high-rank.
Only Medicinal Pills brought by elderly individuals were often good.
For someone like Qin Xuan, the Medicinal Pills he brought were generally not of good rank.
Therefore, the maid's initially enthusiastic expression had already become calm.
Furthermore, Qin Xuan's appearance after his disguise was truly ordinary, so the maid naturally had even less interest.
Qin Xuan, however, didn't mind, merely looking at the other party, wanting her to take him to appraise the Medicinal Pills.
"Follow me, this way."
The maid, having been specially trained by the auction house, ultimately possessed her professional integrity and knew that at such a time, she should honestly lead the person.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The maid led Qin Xuan to an appraisal room and knocked on the door.
"Lin Master, someone is here to appraise Medicinal Pills."
"Come in!"
An aged voice came from inside. The maid pushed open the door and led Qin Xuan in.
"Oh, are you here to appraise Medicinal Pills?"
Seeing such a young man enter, the old man sitting behind the appraisal desk looked up in surprise, not expecting it at all.
However, this surprise quickly turned into disappointment.
No other reason than that the Medicinal Pills brought by such young, inexperienced individuals were usually just ordinary Medicinal Pills, not worth his extra effort.
"Does this guest wish to have the price appraised and sell it to our auction house, or have it appraised and then put up for auction?"
Selling to the auction house was naturally the most convenient method, directly appraising the item's price and selling it to the auction house.
This was naturally the most convenient scenario.
Besides this, another method was to set a reserve price after estimation and then put it up for auction.
If the item failed to sell, it would be sold to the auction house at the reserve price.
If it was favored and successfully auctioned, the auction house would take a ten percent commission.
"Appraise and then auction!"
Qin Xuan himself was here to participate in the auction, so he naturally intended to auction the Medicinal Pills.
Hearing that Qin Xuan wanted to appraise and auction, Lin Master, who was responsible for the appraisal, naturally frowned even more deeply.
"This guest, appraisal for auction requires the Medicinal Pill to be at least Five-Rank. If the Medicinal Pill's rank is not sufficient, it can only be appraised and sold to us. Have you thought this through, guest?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan smiled and nodded.
"Of course, I understand the rules of your esteemed auction house."
Upon hearing Qin Xuan say this, although the maid beside him felt disdain, she still respectfully stood by.
It must be said, she still had some professional integrity.
Lin Master saw Qin Xuan's serious demeanor. Although he also didn't think anything Qin Xuan held would be special, he still looked at Qin Xuan as per custom.
"Alright, then take it out for appraisal."
With a flick of Qin Xuan's fingertip, a porcelain bottle containing Medicinal Pills flew into his hand.
Seeing that Qin Xuan was using a porcelain bottle to hold the Medicinal Pills, Lin Master became even more disdainful.
For those Advanced Dao masters, the more precious the Medicinal Pill, the more it naturally needed to be stored in a high-grade container.
For example, a porcelain bottle was not as good as a jade bottle, so most Pill Masters used jade bottles to store Advanced Medicinal Pills.
However, Qin Xuan didn't care. For him, he could refine Medicinal Pills at any time if needed, so there was no need for such trouble.
Therefore, after he finished refining Medicinal Pills, he would simply put them away casually and had never specifically looked for any particular bottle.
Taking the bottle from Qin Xuan's hand, Lin Master casually opened it, just about to give a random price to dismiss him, but before he could speak, a rich Pill aroma instantly startled him awake.
"This, this is a Five-Rank Pill!"
The Pill aroma of a Five-Rank Pill was completely different from Medicinal Pills below Five-Rank.
As an experienced appraiser, he naturally recognized the extraordinary nature of this Medicinal Pill at a glance.
