Looking around, there were swords, spears, halberds, and axes, even an array of firearms!

On the other side, not noticing Zhu Haomiao's subtle emotions, Ye Wan Ning whispered as she walked.

"You must stay low-key here. Any unassuming old man might just be a Nine-layered Heaven Human God!"

As they spoke, a towering and ancient building came into view. From a distance, Zhu Haomiao felt an invisible barrier blocking the way ahead.

But as they continued to approach, the Dragon Emblem under their coats trembled slightly, as if passing through an invisible water membrane, allowing the two to easily cross the barrier.

"The security system of the Yanhuang Armory only recognizes the Dragon Emblem. You'd better refine it into your body as soon as possible; losing it can cause a lot of trouble!"

Listening to Senior Sister's advice, Zhu Haomiao nodded slightly, following her into the door of Yanhuang Armory.

A sense of déjà vu overwhelmed him, and the young man suddenly realized that aside from the hundreds-fold difference in scale, this place bore a striking resemblance to the Yanhuang Armory in the Illusion Realm!

No, wait!

It should be said that the Yanhuang Armory in the Illusion Realm was built based on reality...

"The appraisal department is in the back."

Skillfully navigating Zhu Haomiao through twists and turns, the two soon arrived at a bustling area.

From a distance, a woman with a beautiful face saw Ye Wan Ning and enthusiastically greeted them.

"Hey, Wan Ning~ did you find something good again?"

"Not me, it's this guy."

Ye Wan Ning pushed Zhu Haomiao forward and smiled as she introduced him.

"This is Zhu Haomiao, our junior at Central Super."

"Shui, this is Senior Sister Wang Yaping, who graduated from our Central Super."

At these words, Zhu Haomiao nodded politely: "Hello, Senior Sister Wang."

Only then did Wang Yaping notice the young man beside Ye Wan Ning, her eyes flashing with a momentary amazement.

"Hello, Little Zhu, is this the True Object you want appraised?"

Pointing to the long sword in the young man's hand, Wang Yaping asked softly.

"Yes."

Zhu Haomiao handed the long sword to her, Wang Yaping's fingertips lightly brushed the blade, and an invisible mystical light circulated within the sword, emitting a faint and mysterious spiritual wave.

Carefully sensing the subtle wave, Wang Yaping's brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, finally returning the long sword to Zhu Haomiao with a puzzled look.

"Second Rank Transcendent True Object, Grade D peak quality, but with great potential, I can't measure it precisely, you'll need to find a professional appraiser."

She glanced at the big screen behind her: "Room 187 for Second Rank appraisals is available, you can go straight there."

At these words, Ye Wan Ning felt a jump in her heart but quickly suppressed the urge to inquire, pulling a bewildered Zhu Haomiao away.

"Thanks, Sister Yaping~"

"You're welcome."

Dragging the young man into the elevator, Ye Wan Ning finally spoke softly when the elevator doors closed.

"Shui, did you bring this sword out from the previous Ascension Competition Illusion Realm?"

"Yes."

"Then how can it be a Second Rank True Object?!"

"Huh?"

Noticing the confusion on Zhu Haomiao's face, Ye Wan Ning quickly explained.

"True Objects correspond to Heavenly Positions, First Layer Heaven yields First Rank True Objects, Second Layer Heaven yields Second Rank, and so on."

"And True Objects of the same grade can be further divided into three levels and nine types based on quality, which are D, E, F grades for Extraordinary Level."

"A, B, C grades for Legendary Level."

"And S, SS, SSS for Mythical Level."

At this, an idea struck Ye Wan Ning, and she murmured to herself.

"To advance a True Object, you would have to refine it into a Lifebound Magical Treasure, then undergo the baptism of laws during ascension along with your spirit and body, its quality may drop drastically, but its potential will increase, similar to your sword's situation..."

"But... it's not your Lifebound Magical Treasure; you can't even absorb it into your body..."

Ye Wan Ning looked at the long sword in the young man's hand, completely perplexed.

"Uh, could it be because I was holding it during the ascension battle, so the baptism of laws treated it as part of me..."

"Impossible, only a Lifebound Magical Treasure would receive such treatment..."

The decisive words were abruptly interrupted. Ye Wan Ning suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhu Haomiao in shock.

"Wait! You ascended at Abyss Level, if the scale of the law baptism was vast enough to overflow, it might indeed refine and elevate any True Object around you!"

Hearing this speculation, Zhu Haomiao nodded thoughtfully.

"That's probably it, at that time the Power of Heaven and Earth Laws indeed refined the two True Objects I was holding."

"What? You have another True Object?"

"Uh... that True Object doesn't belong to His Majesty, oops! It doesn't belong to me!"

Ding~

The elevator door opened, Zhu Haomiao took the first step out, Ye Wan Ning curiously sized him up but didn't probe further, pulling him directly to Room 187 for appraisal.

Knock, knock~

"Come in."

Pushing the door open, an elderly man with gray hair smiled and nodded at them in the warm and elegant appraisal room, his gaze quickly locking onto the treasure sword in the young man's hand.

"You want to appraise this sword?"

"Yes."

Hum~

Accepting the treasure sword, the old man lightly flicked it with his finger, causing the blade to vibrate at high frequency, the room instantly filled with a clear and pleasant sword hum.

After reveling in the sound for a long time, the old man opened his eyes slowly and nodded in appreciation.

"Good sword, it should have been a First Layer Heaven A-grade legendary treasure sword, refined by a top powerhouse as a Lifebound Magical Treasure, and underwent the law baptism of Feather Transformation Ascension, achieving a fundamental metamorphosis!"

"Don't underestimate it just because it's now only a Second Rank D-grade quality, if nurtured well, it could eventually become a Second Rank around S-grade mythical treasure sword!"

"Ordinary ascension baptisms are satisfactory if they maintain a True Object's original potential, but it can go further, indicating that its original owner was undoubtedly an extraordinarily talented top dominator... what a pity..."

Given that a Lifebound Magical Treasure has been brought for appraisal, it likely indicates that the person has completely perished.

With a long sigh, the old man's gaze shifted between the two, eventually landing on Zhu Haomiao, and asked kindly.

"Young friend, do you plan to use it yourself or sell it to the Yanhuang Armory?"

"If you sell it, you can participate in the next Second Rank auction. I estimate it can fetch between 200 to 300 points."

After saying that, the old man handed the long sword back to Zhu Haomiao, sipping his tea leisurely.

Understanding it as a way of seeing them off, Ye Wan Ning grabbed the still baffled Zhu Haomiao, politely bidding farewell.

"Thank you, we will seriously consider it."

"Mm."

Leaving the appraisal room, Zhu Haomiao had a hunch and tentatively asked.

"Senior Sister, the 'points' that the appraiser mentioned just now, does it mean True Contribution Points?"
