Upon entering the elegant seating area inside Taiping Temple, Li Fan had hardly taken a seat when an old man, resembling a bookkeeper, was brought over to appraise his magic treasure. Incidentally, a register of the goods stored in Taiping Temple's treasury was also delivered. There seemed to be many new "used items" freshly added in the past month...
The old man inspected the magic treasure and cultivation techniques Li Fan had presented and wrote his appraisals on a slip of paper.
According to the explanation of the Sword Intent, these old men were usually third-party managers called in. The platform itself would also negotiate with the sellers based on their appraisals.
