Chapter 178: A Visit
Li Lang and his friends eventually calmed down after the unexpected completion of an artifact. So too did all the experts at the auction, who had noticed the slight disturbance. The main auction resumed its operations without any further delays.
Even at the restaurant where Li Lang was, all the onlookers had returned to their own matters.
The creation of an artifact was rare, but it wasn’t enough to distract them for long. This was especially so when the artifact involved was only at the Mortal-grade. Perhaps due to the name, many cultivators considered Mortal-grade to be mundane items that were beneath them, like mortals.
An awkward silence befell Li Lang’s table as his companions received no response to their questions. The man in question was too busy analyzing his work. If there weren’t so many people there, he would’ve even begun testing to see if it could produce talismans as intended. However, even with his voracity for research, he knew it wasn’t the time to be exposing his cards.
Like that, this little incident was soon forgotten—or so Li Lang had hoped.
The auction proceeded without issue, as numerous people watched on with amusement, where colossal organizations bid against each other for treasures and properties.
“The newly discovered crystal mine in Azure Mist goes to participant number five for two hundred yellow crystals!”
“The villa on Sword Saint Isle goes to our esteemed guest with the number seventy-five for sixty green crystals!”
The event only heated up as time passed. After all, it was held over several days. To cultivators at the level that could participate in the grand auction, a few days was nothing to them. They would go into closed-door cultivation for years at a time.
In a blink of an eye, the first day ended.
“Hey! Li Lang! It’s time to leave!” Long Yi tried to awaken his friend. It took some serious shaking for him to succeed.
“What? It’s over?”
