"Stone City, learning appraisal skills is definitely not feasible. Let's discuss and think about other ways."
The old appraiser grabbed me as I was about to leave. Although he was extremely frustrated and wanted to punch me, he still smiled brightly and didn't show any anger.
"…"
Since learning appraisal skills is not possible, what is there to discuss or think about? I wonder if the old appraiser has lost his mind.
Moreover, as the only grandmaster-level appraiser in the Tianmeng continent, it's not a big deal for him to teach me an appraisal skill. He even dares to ask for the blood of the Dark Purple Sky Dragon.
"Oh, I see. Since appraisal skills cannot be taught, let me think about it and see if there are other ways to reach a consensus."
I started talking to myself.
There was a turning point in the situation, and the appraiser looked at me with anticipation as I spoke to myself. However, when he heard my words, his heart sank, feeling cold.
"The Holy Water of the Source of Life is good. One drop for one drop is very fair. Or maybe the priest's artifact, the Holy Spirit's Spear, I'm not sure about its attributes, but if it's good, we can exchange it. There's also the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon in the Heavenly Dragon City, but it seems like the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon is worth more than the blood of my Dark Purple Sky Dragon. I can let the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon accompany me for ten days or half a month. Or if you have other super divine beasts or artifacts, that's also possible…"
Since the appraiser wanted to think of other ways, I fully utilized my brain to come up with as many possible ways as possible for the appraiser to choose from. This is such a generous and fair approach.
"No!"
The appraiser couldn't bear it any longer and finally exploded, shouting out loud.
"Stone City, you little rascal…"
The appraiser's neck was thick, his face was red, and he really wanted to teach me a lesson. But his anger made him speechless.
"Not possible? Then forget it. I'll trade you a skill for the blood of my divine beast, the Dark Purple Sky Dragon. Even if I suffer a loss, I'll accept it. You're not willing to trade, but you should know that my Dark Purple Sky Dragon is a super divine beast."
Hmph, he needs my help but still acts so arrogantly. He's really a stubborn old man. He doesn't even think about how easy it is to obtain the blood of the Dark Purple Sky Dragon. Why don't you go deep into the demon clan and negotiate with the Demon Lord to get a drop of blood from the Dark Purple Sky Dragon, or sneak into the demon clan and capture the Dark Purple Sky Dragon and do whatever you want with it.
Of course, if the demon race still possesses a dark purple sky dragon, I've heard that creatures such as this super divine beast are unique.
"Alright…alright…you impudent brat…"
"Dear sir, please don't be angry. Getting angry is not good for your health. I'll come back another day."
As the appraisal old man was about to fly into a rage, I quickly withdrew, lest this old man force me to PK with him.
"You impudent brat, you're quite shrewd. Alright, I'll make a deal with you."
As the appraisal old man saw that I was about to leave, he remembered that as long as he had the blood of the dark purple sky dragon, he could forge an extraordinary divine artifact, and finally compromised with me.
"Ding, Stone City, the appraisal master wants to teach you the skill of appraisal. Do you accept? Once accepted, when your pet dark purple sky dragon reaches level 30, you must give the appraisal master a drop of its blood. Before that, the dark purple sky dragon belongs solely to you, and may not be transferred, sold, or abandoned."
"I accept!"
"Ding, congratulations to player Stone City for receiving the guidance of the appraisal master, learning the advanced skill 'Appraisal', increasing reputation by 100, and obtaining the auxiliary profession of 'Appraiser'."
Fantastic! I finally learned the skill of appraisal. In the system prompt, I quickly checked the appraisal skill.
Appraisal skill: advanced skill, primary level 01, consumes 100% of magic, has a success rate of 60% for appraising gold equipment, 10% for appraising cursed objects, 5% for appraising immortal equipment, and 0% for appraising divine artifacts. Can only be used five times per day.
Dizzying! It turns out to be a primary level skill. That old appraiser played me, and I'm so depressed. That old appraiser is quite crafty.
"Stone City, what level is your pet dark purple sky dragon?"
Before I could even find fault with the old appraiser, he was already eagerly questioning me. Fortunately, I have a trick up my sleeve and I'm not afraid of him. Today, I must extort him completely.
"The pet egg of the dark purple sky dragon is still in my backpack and hasn't hatched yet. It will take thirty years to hatch."
"Thirty years to hatch?"
The old appraiser was confused and had a look of disbelief. He had never heard that it takes so long for a dark purple sky dragon to hatch.
"Here, take a look."
I took out the pet egg of the dark purple sky dragon from my backpack, and the old appraiser looked at the attributes and was immediately speechless.
"Stone, are you playing games with me? Why didn't you explain it clearly just now?"
The appraiser was furious again, his face stretched out, staring at me angrily. It seemed that if I didn't give him a satisfactory answer, I would not have a peaceful day today. However, the fact that the appraiser called me "Stone" showed that our relationship had become closer.
"When I obtained the pet egg of the 'Dark Purple Sky Dragon', it was like this. Otherwise, I would have hatched the Dark Purple Sky Dragon long ago and let it help me kill monsters. I was also very frustrated. Besides, you didn't ask me just now."
I looked pitiful, trying to show that I was innocent and continued to speak.
"Master appraiser, don't worry. As soon as the Dark Purple Sky Dragon hatches, I will immediately raise it to level thirty and give you its blood. When the time comes, not just one drop, but two or three drops won't be a problem."
I patted my chest with a loud sound, and when I saw the appraiser's expression improve slightly, I stated my intention.
"Master appraiser, you are so wise, capable, handsome, and extraordinary. I wonder if there is a way to make the Dark Purple Sky Dragon hatch earlier? This way, we can get the blood of the Dark Purple Sky Dragon earlier."
"You have a very clever plan, young man. Stop flattering me."
Alas, I failed. It seems that there is no hope.
"Oh."
"Young man, give me the pet egg. Let me try it."
I thought that when my flattery failed, the appraiser suddenly pulled out a mage's staff emitting a purple light from his hand and hit my forehead hard, venting his anger, but preparing to help me.
"Hehe…"
I quickly handed the pet egg of the Dark Purple Sky Dragon to the appraiser. Although my forehead was sore from the appraiser's staff, I was already smiling.
"The pet egg absorbs the elemental power in the Spirit Gate, which is the five-element divine power of the elven race. The five-element divine power is immense energy and one of the powerful natural forces in the world. It caused the pet egg to mutate, which is not easy to handle. I can only try my best."
The appraiser looked at the pet egg of the Dark Purple Sky Dragon, full of envy. This was a divine beast. In the entire Dream Continent, there were definitely not more than twenty people who could have a divine beast as a pet. It was actually obtained by this black-hearted, greedy little guy. It was unfair!
What kind of mutation would happen to the pet egg of the Dark Purple Sky Dragon after absorbing the five-element divine power of the elven race? Would it still retain its previous dark bloodline? The appraiser couldn't say for sure.
If this Dark Purple Sky Dragon mutated, what kind of pet would it become? The appraiser was full of expectations and wanted to see what kind of situation would appear when a super divine beast mutated. He didn't care whether the blood of the Dark Purple Sky Dragon after mutation could be used by him.
