Chapter 172 - 144: Old Friends
Chen Li had barely sat down when the auction began.
There were seldom common items in the auction, which was reflected in their rarity.
The first item already caused a commotion, with the bidding being extremely fierce and the sounds of increasing bids rising one after another.
This was a set of a sword box combination artifact made up of seven top-tier first-order flying swords, which could be refined as one or used separately like a swift sword rain, and when combined could form a sword formation. It was considered a top-level artifact for those in the Qi Cultivation Stage.
For someone at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, facing such an artifact would be quite troublesome.
After a fierce round of bidding, the top-level artifact was finally sold for the price of two hundred and forty-five Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
"This price could match that of more than a dozen top-tier first-order artifacts." Chen Li felt that his trip here had been quite an eye-opener, as a single first-order artifact could be auctioned for such a high price.
When he was still in the Green River District, the second-hand, low-grade second-order sword he bought had only cost him thirty-five Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
One was second-order, the other first-order.
Yet, the price did not match that of the first-order ones.
The auction continued, with prices high and low, sometimes quiet, sometimes lively, with people coming in and others leaving, making the whole auction seem chaotic yet ordered.
