Chapter 152: End of a Long Day
“Next item, Swallowtail Tremor. Earth-grade blade with a rating of five. However, don’t let the rating fool you. It is capable of unleashing one of the highest levels of Qi in its grade. It has an affinity with the earth element.”
Even the more stoic auctioneer had to break character and say a few more words about this weapon. Sword artifacts were the most popular for a reason. A sword obviously enabled its user to unleash more powerful attacks. Strength was king in the cultivator world. Without it, no one would respect you. It understandably became an object of pursuit for numerous cultivators around the world.
Cultivators managing to stay away from violence was rare. Violence was deemed necessary in the pursuit of immortality. Resources were just too limited, and violence was the main solution to decide how it was divided.
“Starting from fifty red crystals!”
Almost immediately, someone placed a bid right after the auctioneer shouted the starting bid.
“One hundred!”
“Two hundred!”
The bidders wasted no time, and the price quickly climbed. It was no surprise that the majority of bidders were in one of the private booths upstairs. Only a few independent cultivators had the capabilities to compete against these members of wealthy organizations.
“Must be nice for whoever ultimately wins that sword,” Long Yi muttered. “It would go really well with techniques like my Terra Moon Slash.”
“Yeah, no kidding,” Sima Xue grinned. “You’re using a mundane sword, which is basically the same as nothing at all!”
“I still need it to employ my techniques. It’s classified as a sword technique for a reason. Swords are mandatory.”
Li Lang nodded silently in the background as he listened along. He was itching to begin studying the Tracing Origin Art he had won not long ago, but this was a rare chance to study powerful artifacts on display. He would eventually be making the attempt at crafting his own, so he couldn’t waste this opportunity.
