Chapter 60: Low Level Auction
Once there were enough participants, the staff and the city auctioneer began the auction. Through Li Shen’s eyes, there were ten rooms on the second floor, nine of which were occupied by cultivators from sects or famous families in the city.
"Only core formation cultivators, even their bodyguards are the same. It seems that this auction house has chosen to maintain its credibility and security by limiting the number of cultivators who come," replied Li Shen.
"Still, there are some gaps that they are not aware of," said Li Shen.
The gaps he was referring to were cultivators who disguised or concealed their cultivation. The staff at this auction house did not thoroughly check people for such potential cheating.
This was proven when Li Xun managed to slip past the auction staff’s inspection due to their negligence. It was not impossible that others had done the same.
"Welcome to the Zhoguang City Auction. I am Zhou Nan, I will be leading this auction session," said a middle-aged man with a stocky build and half-bald black hair.
"There are three auction sessions based on three categories of auction items, starting with the first session for low-end auction items, the second session for mid-range auction items, and the third session for high-end auction items," said Zhou Nan.
The man explained while distributing pamphlets listing the names of the items to be auctioned today. The names of the items were exactly the same as those in the auction information bulletin. Li Shen got one.
"Please, Daoist masters, you can all take a look at the pamphlet," said Zhou Nan.
Li Shen remained silent. The low-tier auction items were pitiful, ranging from level 2-3 technique scrolls to third-grade pills. None of them were truly valuable; they were just junk being auctioned off to cultivators.
Moving on to the medium-tier auction items, Li Shen saw several items that caught his eye. One of them was a continent map. It was the item Li Shen had been looking for since he arrived here.
