"Alright, it's 200 then." Chu Liang accepted and said, "I have two more things, can you appraise them for free?"

"No problem." Wen Yulong smiled.

It was evident that he wasn't happy because of the forging fee, but because he genuinely enjoyed crafting. Having good materials and artifacts for him to refine was definitely a joyful thing.

Chu Liang took out the half-burnt cloth and asked, "What do you think this is?"

"Oh..." This time, Wen Yulong quickly recognized it. He pinched it with his fingers and immediately said, "This is the Concealing Silk, a material that conceals one's aura. When made into a robe and worn, it won't reveal any aura during movement. Paired with the blade forged from the Black Meteor Iron... this is an assassin's set, it seems like you obtained it from a high-level assassin."

He was accurate in his observation, but Chu Liang just smiled and didn't say much. He then asked, "Is it valuable?"

"This kind of material is only valuable when made into clothes. You only have half of it left, so it can't be sold as a finished product, and selling it as a material would be a bit of a loss..." Wen Yulong pondered for a moment and said, "I suggest you add some money and buy more Concealing Silk. With the materials, I can help you refine a complete robe that you can use."

"I see..."

Chu Liang contemplated for a moment and thought that this suggestion was not bad.

The demonic cultivator in the Golden Elixir stage that he dealt with before had this kind of technique. After wearing the robe, it made it difficult for others to see his face clearly. Similar to this kind of concealment technique, it was almost a necessity for traveling the martial world.

However, just obscuring the face was only a mediocre effect. True experts could sense one's aura. If he had a robe made from this Concealing Silk, it would be convenient for both battles and engaging in shady activities.

"Can I buy it at the Transmission Sword Hall?" he asked, "How much would it cost?"

"We don't have this thing in Shu Mountain." Wen Yulong, being a member of the Transmission Sword Hall, naturally knew about the materials. He immediately answered, "If you want it, I can contact a friend from the Gluttonous Pavilion to inquire. They probably have it there. However, the price might not be as affordable as within Shu Mountain. I estimate... if I help you buy it and convert it into sword coins, it would cost at least five hundred."

"Are the prices for selling things within Shu Mountain really affordable..." Chu Liang muttered quietly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

He still remembered the prices of those flying swords on display at the Transmission Sword Hall, which had a significant impact on his still-developing sense of value at the time.

But after mixing in the outside world for a long time, he also understood it to some extent. The things sold by the Transmission Sword Hall were actually quite reasonable for fellow disciples of Shu Mountain.

For those non-mainstream cultivators in the martial world, most of the time, they had to barter with goods. If there were any urgently needed items, they had to pay a much higher price to acquire them, which was filled with intrigue. Sometimes, the most troubling thing for them was not the high price, but the lack of availability, making it impossible to find what they needed.

In comparison, Shu Mountain was indeed like a greenhouse.

After thinking for a moment, he agreed, "Alright, you can help me inquire first. Let me know when there's a confirmed price. Thank you for the trouble."

"Alright." Wen Yulong also made a note of this matter.

Then, Chu Liang took out a small gourd and asked, "Can you appraise pills?"

"You've made quite a harvest." Wen Yulong exclaimed, took the gourd, and smiled, "You've found the right person. I actually started by learning alchemy before switching to artifact refining."

"Why?" Chu Liang asked with a smile.

"The Pill Cauldron Hall said that a slight mistake in alchemy could kill people, and no one dared to consume the pills I refined. It's better to focus on artifact refining. At least they don't have to be ingested." Wen Yulong brought it up, reminiscing with a hint of bitterness.

Chu Liang silently nodded.

Indeed.

With this guy's skills, it was fine if he was a bit radical in refining artifacts, and it was acceptable if they were a bit strange. There might even be surprises. But if it was alchemy... he wouldn't dare to consume it no matter what.

Wen Yulong poured out a pill from the gourd, furrowed his brows as he examined it for a while, and said, "I don't recognize this pill. I'll have to look it up later. If there are no results, I might have to take a sample to test its effects, which would be troublesome. Leave one with me, and I'll let you know when I have the results."

"Alright." Chu Liang left one pill and put away the gourd.

This was quite normal since pills were different from artifacts and materials. If he didn't recognize an artifact, he could infuse it with true qi to test its effects and understand its function. But if he didn't recognize a pill, no one would dare to lick or taste it.

After finishing all the matters, Chu Liang bid farewell and got up.

Wen Yulong waved goodbye with a smile, his attitude completely different from when Chu Liang first arrived.

Chu Liang couldn't help but smile.

When you earn money, your service attitude changes.After leaving the Sword Transmission Hall, Chu Liang conveniently went to the neighboring Hall of Law Enforcement.

The business of the Hall of Law Enforcement was much less than that of the Sword Transmission Hall and the Pill Cauldron Hall. After all, the thing about divine arts was that it wasn't like magical tools or elixirs, where you had to buy if you wanted them.

If I bought a divine art, I could pass it on to ten people, and those ten could pass it on to a hundred. Not everyone had to pay for it. And everyone had a master... except for some unlucky handsome guys, there weren't many people who really needed to buy divine arts.

In reality, the status of the Hall of Law Enforcement in Shu Mountain was more like a library, serving the purpose of storing inheritances.

Therefore, it would also accept divine arts handed in by disciples, striving to store as many inheritances as possible.

Compared to the bustling Sword Transmission Hall, this place was much quieter. There weren't so many quiet rooms for guests, just a small desk. A square-faced young man in a green shirt was sitting behind the desk, reading a book.

It seemed that he was the librarian...

Chu Liang approached the square-faced young man and called out, "Excuse me, senior brother?"

"Hmm?" The square-faced young man looked up. His eyes were not big, his gaze was straight, and he looked a bit...dull?

His appearance was honest and straightforward, with a righteous look on his face.

He looked at Chu Liang and asked, "What divine art do you want to buy?"

"I'm not buying, I'm here to hand in a divine art." Chu Liang said.

"To hand in?" The square-faced young man said, "Let me see it. It must be something that the Hall of Law Enforcement doesn't already have. There are rewards for handing in."

"Here." Chu Liang took out the jade slip that stored the inheritance of the Seven Killings.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

The square-faced young man took it, his divine consciousness swept over it briefly, then he nodded and said, "It's actually the inheritance of the Heavenly Star Art, the lineage of the Seven Killings... It hasn't appeared in the world for a long time, it's considered precious."

His gaze towards Chu Liang became somewhat solemn.

It seemed that he didn't expect that Chu Liang, a junior disciple with low cultivation, could get such a precious inheritance.

Chu Liang's gaze towards him also slightly changed.

He had thought that this square-faced young man was just a doorkeeper, but the fact that he could tell at a glance that this inheritance was not in the Hall of Law Enforcement meant that he knew everything about the Hall of Law Enforcement.

The divine arts in the Hall of Law Enforcement were as vast as a sea of smoke. If he had all of them in his mind, that would be a bit scary.

"This inheritance is indeed precious, but we only reward for handing in inheritances, not buying..." The square-faced young man said, "Even this Seven Killings inheritance can only be rewarded with a thousand sword coins."

"That's fine." Chu Liang didn't mind.

He knew that if he sold this inheritance in the cultivation world, if he met a buyer who wanted it, the things he could get in return would definitely be more than this price. But that would be too troublesome and unsafe.

For this kind of inheritance that is both righteous and evil, how do you know if the person buying it is not a person with evil intentions? If someone cultivates this inheritance to become a killer, causing countless killings, he would also inevitably bear some responsibility.

Handing it to the Hall of Law Enforcement, it would just be stored on Shu Mountain, probably not much use, so it couldn't be calculated as a purchase, which was understandable.

A thousand sword coins was not a small sum for him now.

Apart from the elixir in the gourd whose use was still unknown, this inheritance was actually the highest gain in his harvest this time, since the other two items were already broken.

This money could just be saved for Wen Yulong's forging fee and material fee.

"Here are your sword coins, count them. Because this inheritance is handed in by you, whether you have a backup or not, you can come to the Hall of Law Enforcement to view it for free in the future. My name is Yuan Zhuo, you can come to me if you have anything else."

The square-faced young man registered the inheritance, handed the sword coins to Chu Liang, and gave him a few reminders.

"Alright." Chu Liang took the sword coins, smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Yuan."
