Vincent helplessly smiled after realizing what Cedric was thinking.

He just suddenly made a competition out of this. Anyway, it doesn't really matter to him.

He first looked at the bloodstones brought by the Blood Mist Sect members.

There are a total of 10 bloodstones and all of them are indeed crimson blood and were emitting a strong deathly aura.

'Is this used for alchemy? Hmm…' Vincent mused as he looked at the ten identical bloodstones.

After taking a deep breath, he no longer hesitated and touched one of the bloodstones. As soon as he triggered his Appraisal Skill, 2 units of mana left his body.

Ding!

[ Appraisal Successful. ]

[ You have discovered an Enchanted Bloodstone. ]

[ Enchanted Bloodstone ]

[ Quality: Rare

Number of Enhancements: 0/10

Durability: 10/10

Corruption: 16

Description: A special stone that can corrupt any Magic Artifact. Depending on the targeted Artifacts, it can either strengthen or weaken them.

Remarks: Special Corruption Attribute found. Durability and Corruption Attribute will be upgraded in every enhancement. ]

'Interesting… Corruption attribute… This is the first time I've seen this.'

As Vincent reads the notification that popped out, the others remained silent as they waited for his appraisal.

Anyway, appraisal normally takes some time so none of them are in a hurry. The members of the Blood Mist Sect would even be satisfied if Vincent could give a more detailed appraisal to increase the value of their item.

After a few minutes, Vincent already appraised all the Bloodstones and felt that it should be alright to give his appraisal.

He then took a deep breath before he introduced whatever he discovered with these stones.

"This is the first time I've seen a Bloodstone… but this should be an Enchanted one. It has corruption ability but I can't tell how better it is compared to a bloodstone that was not enchanted. If we're going to rate its quality, it should be similar to a Rare rank."

As soon as he said this, the faces of the members of the sect lit up.

"You're correct, they are indeed Enchanted. I guess you're better than these two. Here's a normal bloodstone that wasn't enchanted by our Sect Master. Take a look."

As he said this, he took out another bloodstone that wasn't as dark as the Enchanted one.

Vincent smiled as he took the normal bloodstone.

During his stay in the warehouse, he actually discovered a few more words that would describe or differentiate the items he's appraising.

There were Dirty, Broken, Slightly Damaged, Reconditioned, Boosted, and Enchanted.

Because of his experience, he was able to easily tell that the Bloodstone and Enchanted Bloodstone are different.

As expected, as soon as he appraised the item, it has the same description and details except for the Corruption Attribute.

[ Corruption: 8 ]

"Hmm… It's amazing… The corruption power of the Enchanted ones is doubled than this ordinary one."

"Haha! You're good. That's what our Sect Master said as well. These Enchanted Bloodstones have stronger effects. Twice the normal Bloodstones that we have."

After realizing that Vincent gave a similar appraisal to what their Master has said, they immediately felt assured.

Previously, the two Junior Appraisers who had assisted them were actually unable to identify that it is an Enchanted one. They only mentioned it has a bit stronger purity than the normal ones.

Therese then quickly checked the bloodstones and was satisfied by Vincent's appraisal.

"How about the Spirit Stones?" She asked.

"Right… Let me try…"

[ Low-Tier Spirit Stone ]

As soon as he touched the spirit stone and triggered his Appraisal Skill, he was only able to get this information.

He tried to Enhance the item as well but the normal Enhancement window did not pop out.

With that in mind, he held his cane tightly using his left hand while his right hand held the Spirit Stone.

This time, he triggered the Ascension skill that he has.

[ Ascension Crystal found. Would you like to use 1 Ascension Crystal to Ascend this item? ]

A window suddenly appeared that also shows the image of his ironbark cane.

Vincent couldn't help but smile as his guess was indeed correct!

Spirit Stone is the equivalent of the Ascension Crystal in this world!

"Is there any problem, Vincent?" Therese asked after noticing Vincent's reaction to the item.

"Ehem… Ehem… I'm sorry, Manager Therese, I can only tell that this Spirit Stone is a low-tier one."

Vincent said truthfully as he looked at her.

Cedric, who was just listening to them all this time, couldn't help but give Vincent praise.

"It's already impressive, Vincent. You barely took some time to appraise the bloodstone but you easily discovered that it's Enchanted and has its effects doubled. As for these low-tier Spirit Stones… We are also having trouble with it because it seems to have a lot more impurities than common Low-Tier Spirit Stones that we've seen."

Therese only smiled at this as she checked the Spirit Stones carefully.

"Hmm… There are indeed more impurities than the common Low-Tier Spirit Stones I've seen. They're probably taken from a terrible environment. Nevertheless, a Purification Mana Art should be enough to take care of it. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Impurities?" The leader of the group from the Blood Mist Sect repeated as soon as he heard their evaluation.

"How much can we sell these items then?" He added.

Therese paused for a moment before she decided to give a price.

"We can purchase each Enchanted Bloodstone for 3,000 gold coins or 30 mana crystals each. As for the Low-Tier Spirit Stones, we still have to purify them to reach the standard level, we can only purchase them for 120 mana crystals each. Is that alright?"

The leader of the group thought for a moment before shaking his head.

Therese didn't wait for them to speak as she added another thing.

"Then, I'll make another offer. If you continue to provide us with Bloodstones and Spirit Stones, I will give you this token so you can attend all of our auctions without paying any entrance fees. By the way, you can use this token for all Guardian's Auction House."

As soon as she said this, everyone gave her a surprised look except Cedric. He's a young master of the large Schuman Family after all.

He's clearly aware of how valuable these items are. If they managed to secure a steady supply of Spirit Stones, this branch will certainly receive a lot of benefits from the Royal Family.

"Haha! Great! Since you are very straightforward, let's make a deal."

The leader of the group no longer hesitated as he accepted Therese's proposal.

As soon as they completed their transaction, Vincent wanted to somehow purchase a few Spirit Stones from them as well.

However, Maurice suddenly came to him.
