“Those at the Qi Ocean Realm are called martial masters. According to Head Constable Xing, they are considered experts.”

“It’s a pity that even if I cultivate my martial arts to the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, it would be difficult for me to make a breakthrough and advance to the Qi Ocean Realm without a follow-up internal energy cultivation technique.”

Chen Shaojun sighed helplessly in his heart.

Most of his martial arts came from the rewards of the Psychic Treasure Mirror.

Even though the Wire Fist Gallery had internal energy cultivation techniques, they were not true techniques. Furthermore, if he did not make any great contributions, Hong Zhankong would definitely not teach this technique to him.

Not to mention, in the eyes of others, he was only a beginner who was not even at the 1st Stage of the Body Tempering Realm…

In fact, even Chen Shaojun himself did not expect his martial arts realm to improve so quickly.

“It looks like I’ll have to appraise more treasures next. I’ll have to rely on the Psychic Treasure Mirror to obtain even more treasures.”

Chen Shaojun always knew that the Psychic Treasure Mirror was his foundation. It was what he relied on to secure a good life in this world.

As for the internal energy cultivation technique…

Although he desired it, he was not in a hurry to obtain it.

Since he did not have an internal energy cultivation technique, he would have the time to cultivate the Supreme Sense Scripture.

Every time he visualized the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array, there would be a trace of qi in his body. Although he did not know if this trace of qi was the Dharmic powers cultivated by cultivators, he knew that the functions of this qi were extraordinary. Moreover, it could definitely increase his strength.

After cultivating for the past few days, he had accumulated quite a bit of qi in his body.

He was also looking forward to the time when this ‘qi’ would accumulate enough to undergo a transformation.

After pondering for a while, Chen Shaojun waited until the qi and blood in his body, which were agitated from cultivating the Tiger Demon Body Tempering Fist, had calmed down. Then, he walked out of Appraisal Room No. 7.

“The Fish Essence Stone? I thought it was some beautiful jade.”

“However, what exactly is this Fish Essence Stone?”

When Lin Qi received the treasure that Chen Shaojun had appraised and heard Chen Shaojun’s introduction of the treasure, he revealed an expression of surprise. He then dipped his brush into some ink and registered it in an account book.

His calligraphy was delicate and elegant. Every stroke seemed casual, but there was a sense of vitality to it, leaving a deep impression on anyone who saw it.

Previously, Chen Shaojun had obtained the reward of dual talents in painting and calligraphy. Thus, his judgment of calligraphy was no longer the same as before. Naturally, he could tell that Lin Qi’s calligraphy skills were much stronger than Shen Lang’s.

“The Fish Essence Stone is actually the throat bone of a fish, but it’s not common. Only those that have absorbed the spirit of the world and are about to become demons, or those that have already become demons, can produce the Fish Essence Stone. It can already be considered a miraculous stone.”

“When it is worn, it can expel evil and exorcise sinister spirits. It can also invite comfort and wealth. It’s actually more precious and practical than an ordinary piece of jade.”

Chen Shaojun explained.

This knowledge wasn’t a big deal. Apart from cleansing methods, pawnbrokers also had to have knowledge of many treasures.

The pawnshop also contained books on astronomy, geography, and various treasures.

His previous self had a dull personality and preferred reading. Thus, he had read almost all of the books in the pawnshop.

This was also one of the reasons why he could blurt out explanations of various treasures.

Of course, with the Psychic Treasure Mirror as evidence, the accuracy of his explanations was even higher.

Naturally, he would not reveal that the Fish Essence Stone could expel baleful auras when it was ground and used with water.

This information had already exceeded the scope of his understanding as an apprentice pawnbroker. If he did not want to provoke trouble, it was better to hide this knowledge.

“I’ve long heard that you have the best mastery of the Divine Vision technique and the best appraisal abilities among this batch of apprentice pawnbrokers. Now that I’ve witnessed your skills, you’re indeed extraordinary.”

Lin Qi looked at Chen Shaojun with surprise and praised him.

“Mr. Lin, you flatter me. I just read more books.”

“As for the Divine Vision technique, it can only be attributed to luck.”
