Chapter 40: Shock
Half an hour later, Chu Linfeng came to the auction venue. This was a venue that could accommodate about a hundred people. There was an antique cloud case in the center of the venue. An auctioneer with a cultivation level of sixth level was already working hard to introduce the items to everyone in the venue.
Chu Linfeng just wanted to be fresh, but he didn't expect to buy anything at such a small auction, so he found a corner with interest.
There are two or three auctions of this scale every day. Most of the time, some items of refining materials or low-end magic weapons were sold. The auction has been around for a while, and I haven’t seen a few decent items coming out, but the transaction rate is not low.
After all, good things have the price of good things, and ordinary objects have the price of ordinary objects. For most cultivators with low cultivation and poor family wealth, such small auctions like this are a good opportunity for low-priced Taobao.
For example, some things are sold directly at the auction floor price, but they are much cheaper than buying them directly from outside.
Not long after, it was Chu Linfeng's turn to take pictures of six ordinary magic weapons.
The auctioneer first took a "Purple Gold Bagua Shield" in hand, briefly introduced the magic weapon function, and quoted the auction reserve price of 800 spirit stones.
For most cultivators in the field, the price is average, far from being so popular that they can make people feel better, so the response is average.
After all, basic magic weapons like the "Purple Gold Bagua Shield" have always been listed as the most useless magic weapons in the concept of everyone.
However, this situation soon changed drastically.
Because the goods are magic weapons, the auctioneer will definitely try them out in person. Even if it is just a basic magic weapon like "Purple Gold Bagua Shield", it is also necessary. This is a major rule at the auction.
When the auctioneer released the "Purple Gold Bagua Shield" poured into the palm of his palm, a layer of purple light curtain suddenly appeared around him. Generally speaking, it was almost done at this point.
But what surprised the auctioneer was that the "Purple Gold Bagua Shield" on the palm of his hand did not maintain the purple light curtain like the same ordinary magic weapon he handled.
Instead, it continues to absorb the true energy power that the auctioneer continues to inject, far exceeding the limit of the "Purple Gold Bagua Shield" in the auctioneer's concept.
"What's going on? Could this magic weapon be an ordinary middle-level magic weapon?"
The experienced auctioneer was stunned and couldn't help but say inwardly: "A mid-level magic weapon of ordinary grade, even if it is just an extremely popular magic weapon like the Purple Gold Bagua Shield, the minimum price of 800 spirit stones is really too low."
In the world of cultivation, the major classification of the strength of magic weapons is indeed immortal, elegant, foolish, precious, top-notch, and ordinary, but each level of magic weapons must be divided into three or six levels.
Both the best magic weapons of ordinary grade and the lower ones are all magic weapons of ordinary grade. They are all affiliated with the ordinary grade magic weapons, but their value and efficacy are hugely different.
Generally speaking, if it is a consignment magic weapon, before consignment, the seller will explain the grade of the magic weapon in detail. Since Chu Linfeng first entered this article, he did not consider the three levels of magic weapons of the same grade.
This is indeed rare, but this auctioneer is considered an old man. He quickly recovered and continued to inject true energy, striving to show the power of the "Purple Gold Bagua Shield" at hand to the strongest.
As the true energy was continuously infused, the purple gold Bagua shield in the auctioneer's hand actually diffracted a layer of green clouds. When the purple and green light curtain was revealed, the group of cultivators who were already in a state of inspiration in the auction house became slightly restless.
"It's a medium-sized magic weapon for ordinary things!"
"Purple and blue colors... worth bidding..."
"It seems that I can gain something this time. The average magic weapon of ordinary grades and the price below two thousand spirit stones can be considered."
The appearance of a medium-sized magic weapon of ordinary grade has not yet reached the point where the audience is excited, but at least it is much better than the previous ones.
However, what made everyone present gasp for a cold breath was that after the purple-green two-color light curtain appeared, the purple-gold Bagua shield held in the auctioneer's palm actually trembled slightly, and a black light once again induced.
The three-color light curtains overlap, and they are integrated into one, completely covering the auctioneer. The purple and gold shines around, giving people a sense of terrible sturdiness.
"This is an ordinary...a high-quality magic weapon..." The auctioneer was shocked and took back the purple gold Bagua shield, his eyes full of surprise.
Although the difference between the lower-level magic weapons of ordinary grade and the upper-level magic weapons of ordinary grade is only one word, the value is vastly different.
It must be mentioned that the energy consumed in refining a magic weapon of ordinary grade is absolutely no less than that of refining a magic weapon of top grade and lower grade, and it is even more than that.
After all, to refine magic weapons in the same level to far exceed those in the same level of magic weapons, it is not just a component of luck, but also requires extremely clever weapon refining methods.
But most of the time, how could a weapon refiner who is capable of refining high-quality magic weapons in ordinary grades be thankless to refining ordinary grades? Moreover, even if these high-level weapon refiners are interested, they dare not guarantee that they will definitely refining high-quality magic weapons.
Therefore, the number of high-quality magic weapons in all grades is even less than that in the best grades, because not everyone can refine them, and because a weapon refiner with this ability will not bother to refine them after measuring gains and losses.
At such a small auction in front of you, the probability of an ordinary-grade magic weapon appearing will never exceed one thousandth. Even this auctioneer who has been here for many years has never had a normal-grade magic weapon.
In addition, what shocked the auctioneer the most was that at this moment, there were five other ordinary magic weapons on the Yun Case, and these five magic weapons seemed to be in the same lineage as the purple gold Bagua shield that belonged to the best ordinary magic weapons in his hand.
"The reserve price is all 800 spirit stones. Can you say that these six pieces are all top-quality magic weapons?"
The shock in the auctioneer's heart did not last long, because the cultivators participating in the auction in the venue were already in trouble, and calls for urging them to start bidding sooner were heard one after another.
"All-grade magic weapon, one purple gold Bagua shield, the minimum price is 800 low-grade spirit stones, please bid."
"One thousand five hundred spirit stones..."
"One thousand eight hundred..."
"Three thousand low-grade spirit stones..."
"Five thousand..."
It took only a few breaths, and the price had risen to a surprising level. So far, the highest bid was a yellow-faced man whose cultivation level was at the ninth level of human level, and shouted a high price of eight thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
"Is there any higher?" The auctioneer shouted symbolically. Although he felt that such a rare high-quality magic weapon sold only 8,000 spirit stones, it was still a loss, but after all, it was just a small auction that was not as rich as the cultivators in the venue. It was a good idea to be able to get 8,000 low-grade spirit stones.
If I had known that these magic weapons were of the best quality, I would never have been auctioned at this scale. At least I would have to be unveiled at a large auction held every seven days.
[During the Chinese New Year, I had a very serious viral cold and I haven't seen it. As a result, I completely ate it two days ago. It would be better if I went to hang up the water. I quickly typed it and updated it. I'm really sorry to everyone.]
