Chapter 72: Picking Up Treasures
Tie Dan lay hidden on the hillside, concealing his presence, secretly observing the confrontation below between the magical artifacts.
This place where mountain and water converge, with a bay of clear spring water flowing along the winding mountain terrain, accumulates into a living water spiritual pond. Continuous mountain breath and living water pour into this place, making it an idyllic and picturesque feng shui treasure land.
No animal bones were seen around. Probably that horse-like demon monster earlier occupied this place as a cultivation nest.
At this moment, three magical artifacts have all set their eyes on this place, but one mountain cannot house two tigers, so none of them gave way, hovering in the air and forming a tri-colored light ball of green, blue, and red. For a while, they did not dare to fight two against one, allowing the third to take advantage, resulting in a stalemate.
Tie Dan watched for a while and identified the shapes of the three magical artifacts — a gourd, a fan, and a treasure bead, and his interest waned.
Hmph, not even a sword, what a waste.
Well, calling them a waste might not be entirely fair. After all, those capable of birth of an Artifact Spirit are labeled as ’entry rank’ magical artifacts.
From the lower lower nine ranks to the top-grade entrants, this set of standards was initially used by the Immortal Palace to select talents. But gradually, it has evolved into a point where top grades have no poor families, and low grades have no influential clans. Indeed, how it got to this stage doesn’t need to be detailed here.
In summary, the evaluation of magical artifacts also refers to this rating, appraising from various aspects such as crafting craftsmanship, materials, talismans, inscriptions, arrays, efficacy, and cultivation qualifications. The difference between grades may not be vast, but the distinctions between lower, middle, and upper are worlds apart. For example, a first-grade and a third-grade treasure could contend with each other, but a fourth-grade middle-up magical artifact absolutely would not dare to compete with treasures of the upper three grades.
So from the current situation, these three magical artifacts did not have anyone to claim them last night. They are probably not the usual Golden Core that can be grasped and are rarely seen Nascent Soul Realm treasures. But if they were some rare top-grade items, they would’ve been bought and used long ago, not left to languish in a treasure pavilion. So the ones in this standoff are likely low-grade pieces.
