As for the remaining beast hides and books, there was no need to appraise them.
In terms of pure value, he had certainly lost out on the trade for the Array-Breaking Talisman. But the book's high informational value still made it worthwhile.
As for the hide with the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe, Cheng Zongyang didn't know how much money it could sell for.
He had Zhang Jinquan transcribe a copy, which he would then give to Luo Dingran to try and sell on consignment.
"Old Luo, take this map and ask everyone about it. See if anyone recognizes this remaining half," Cheng Zongyang said, also handing the Fragmented Map to Luo Dingran.
Luo Dingran took the map and examined it. It depicted simple mountains, terrain, river courses, and routes, but there were no place names or any other information. It was impossible to tell where the location was. Only someone extremely familiar with every corner of the Martial Arts Realm would be able to identify the place.
