She paused slightly, "Actually, this sword also has quite a history behind it. Long ago, it was the sword of a famous sword master..."
She continued to talk about the history of the sword, making it sound as if it was a historical relic and not buying it would be a huge loss for everyone.
Some of the young ones in the hall were already eager to buy the sword while the old ones looked calmly at the scene. They had already witnessed such scenes countless times.
All these auction houses liked to exaggerate the stories of the items they sold. But most people couldn’t refute these because these stories also had some truth to them, just not as glorious as these people made it out to be.
Orion also looked at the scene with amusement, but he didn’t focus too much on it since he wasn’t interested in the sword. No matter how good its history was it was merely a Tier 8 sword. He wasn’t interested in such swords, even if there were Tier 9 weapons he wouldn’t bat an eye.
He calmly watched as the bidding for the sword began. But what he didn’t expect was the sword being sold for 70,000 High Grade Mana Crystals.
’...Is this why Grandma is so rich? Runesmiths are really drowning in money...’ he nearly drooled seeing a ’mere’ Tier 8 sword being sold for 70,000 HGMC.
Even Tier 8 demon corpses didn’t sell for so much. But it was also understandable, after all it was during an auction and the prices for weapons would be much higher than mere materials like demon corpses.
’Fortunately Nyss got the mana crystals after selling those demon corpses, otherwise I would only be able to look at the auction...’ Thinking to himself, he inwardly lamented at his own poverty.
’No! This can’t go on. What kind of prodigy am I? How can I be so poor? I need to quickly find a way to make money. Magi is out of commission now so I can’t drain the Limitless Heaven much, otherwise it would be problematic if some problem arises. Magi was there in normal times to take care of it, now...’
He couldn’t help but think of Magi, how he missed his ATM car— dear friend, hopefully he would become better soon.
The auction continued as Rose displayed one item after another. There were all kinds of stuff: weapons, armors, ores, herbs, alchemy formulas, some low-level cultivation techniques, spell books, even miscellaneous items like treasure maps and such.
Orion also bought a lot of stuff, mainly herbs and ores for his practice. Some of them were quite rare and hard to find even at the capital so he directly bought them here at a higher price.
By now, Rose had nearly sold 100 items, and she soon took out another item, but this one was somewhat special. There were nine broken swords on a large tray with a book in the center.
She picked up the book and softly said, "This is one of the best treasures of today’s auction in my opinion. This is an ancient sword formation manual suitable for those who have comprehended advanced sword aura. But unfortunately, most of the contents of the manual are missing and lost in the river of history. As for further details, you can know after buying it. The starting bid is 5,000 High Grade Mana Crystals and each subsequent bid must not be below 500 High Grade Mana Crystals."
The crowd looked at Rose speechlessly.
"What the fu— You want us to buy nine broken swords and a tattered book for 5,000 High Grade Mana Crystals??"
"You might as well rob us, there is no value in this book."
"Is your auction house trying to scam us?"
The auction house lit up with buzzing noises of the crowd. After all, in their perception this was clearly a trash book with no value. Since they couldn’t learn it then what was the meaning in buying it?
Orion looked at the book with interest and inwardly said, ’Let’s see how it is, if it’s good enough then I won’t mind buying it. I can slowly complete it on my own anyways.’
He tried to activate Eye of Revelation to see how much it would cost.
