Wang Yu began to identify the pill; first, he observed it for a while, then he smelled its fragrance. After that, Wang Yu closed his eyes to focus intently.
In fact, for most pills, Wang Yu only needed to look and smell them to make a fairly accurate judgment. The primary reason he could act as a master appraiser was his nose.
However, this time, Wang Yu clearly wasn't so confident.
After sniffing for a while, he turned his head towards Baili Xuewei, "This… Although I have some preliminary judgment, to obtain a more precise result, I'm afraid I need to taste just a tiny bit. I wonder if Fairy Baili would permit me…"
For a master appraiser, tasting someone else's pills during appraisal is strictly taboo because a pill's potency is fixed, and losing even a little could affect its efficacy.
Moreover, many pills have a special protective layer on their surface. Attempting to taste someone else's pill might damage its protective coating.
