Chapter 204: The Legendary Weapon
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone shook their heads silently when they saw that He Run had almost lost his mind.
After all, the He family was one of the most influential families in the capital.
They were famous for their excellent forging skills.
However, the He family’s patriarch, He Run, had acted so irrationally in front of everyone, embarra.s.sing the He family.
Nevertheless, without the Qin family’s resistance, the He family still managed to successfully obtain the Premium-grade furnace at the price of ¥10,900,000.
Of course, the cost almost emptied the treasury He Run had prepared for this auction.
The people watched as He Run put the small copper cauldron into his sack and paid with his card.
The crowd immediately shifted their attention to the stage.
By now, more than two hours had pa.s.sed since the start of the auction and there were only a dozen minutes left before the end. Obviously, the people of Treasure Trove Pavilion had left these ten minutes for the final treasure.
Wu Mo immediately perked up, and the audience members subconsciously raised their heads too, since they wanted to see what the final treasure was.
On the stage, Elder Yao Shan had a faint smile on his face.
“I think everyone has been looking forward to the final item of this auction for a long time. I can guarantee that the last item will definitely be worth the two-hour wait.”
After Elder Yao Shan finished speaking, he immediately beckoned the people behind him.
In a flash, the five-star cultivators who were standing behind the elder began to move.
They all walked to the four corners of the stage, reached out, and held protruding stone pillars.
The four stone pillars were half the height of a person, and there were many obscure runes carved on their surface.
As the four people held the stone pillars in their palms, the spirit power in their bodies immediately flowed into the stone pillars.
A burst of white light surged from the stone pillars and gathered toward Elder Yao Shan, who was standing at the center.
The white rays of light continued to gather gradually, and in the end, it was as if a jade bowl had been flipped over the stage. It completely separated the stage from the audience.
“I’m sorry but the next item will be in a display case because it is too expensive. To prevent any misconduct, I have to follow the rules,” Elder Yao Shan immediately explained to the crowd after the formation was completely activated.
The audience members who often attended the auctions were already used to it.
After all, with Treasure Trove Pavilion’s size, the final exhibits would always be very precious even if they held an auction every week.
Setting up an array was an understandable matter.
The young cultivators standing at the four corners of the stage slowly moved their hands away from the stone pillars and immediately returned behind Elder Yao Shan.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation. Just when Wu Mo could not wait any longer, an extremely beautiful woman walked out from the entrance to the podium’s right.
The woman was holding a red sandalwood box in her hand, and a faint orange light was peeking out of the gaps. The pupils of most audience members immediately began to shrink.
Orange light meant that the next item was of Legendary grade.
Whether it was a weapon or defensive equipment, no one knew yet.
“As expected of this treasure-gathering dragon. even though it only opens once a week, there’s always Legendary equipment for sale!”
“I’ll go now! I didn’t wait for more than two hours in vain. I’ve finally seen the real thing!”
“The Premium-grade furnace was sold for nearly ¥11,000,000. Doesn’t that mean that this Legendary equipment is going to be sold for ¥20,000,000?”
“This time, the only one who can still bid is probably the Qin family.”
“Don’t be so sure. The audience members partic.i.p.ating in the auction are a mix of good and bad. Do you really think that only the Qin family is here for the final treasure?”
The crowd was in a heated discussion, and Wu Mo was a little excited too.
Legendary equipment was extremely rare in the entire Nine Provinces, and he had only seen a few of them in such a long time.
In addition to the Glazed Heart-protecting Mirror that Princ.i.p.al Qiu had carried with him at the Divine Arms Academy, there were only a few pieces that Wu Mo had seen in the exhibition area of the Research Department’s internal reference room.
If even he had only seen a few of them, what of those who had never had the opportunity to come into contact with the field of forging?
Therefore, when Elder Yao Shan placed the box containing the Legendary equipment on the stage, everyone’s eyes were focused on it.
Then, Elder Yao Shan gently opened the box before their gaze.
The next moment, a thick orange light shot out in all directions, dyeing the surrounding walls orange.
A strange wave of air spread out in all directions, instantly engulfing the entire audience section.
Many people’s bodies swayed due to the impact of the blast. Some of them were weaker, so their faces even turned pale.
However, Wu Mo did not waver at all. Instead, he stared at the Legendary equipment with bright eyes.
The rectangular red sandalwood box was soon placed on the smooth and flat stage.
Within it was a short silver spear.
The short spear was 185 cm in length, and the tip of the spear glowed with a cold light. There were circles of runes, as well as magic array patterns, on its slender body, and an inlaid red gem at the end. The whole thing was extremely exquisite. Even an ordinary person who did not know much about forging could tell that this item was extraordinary.
The spear’s appearance instantly stunned everyone. They did not expect the Legendary equipment to be a spear!
The valuation of Legendary equipment usually varied greatly, and weapons tended to be the most valuable.
This was because the difficulty of casting a Legendary weapon was the greatest compared with other equipment. Moreover, one needed to consider the problem of absorbing spirit energy when forging a weapon, so it cost much higher than other items. Most importantly, the casting of a weapon required a longer time.
Following that was Legendary-grade armor.
The value of armor could be ranked as follows: Breastplate, helmet, shoes, accessories, and so on.
A weapon’s value could be more than twice that of an accessory of the same quality.
As for the price difference between armor and weapons, it was about 20%.
Consequently, when the crowd saw that the final item on display was actually a Legendary-grade weapon, they were shocked.
All of them widened their eyes.
A Legendary weapon was usually worth more than ¥20,000,000, and only a few people in the auction hall were qualified to bid for it.
Even so, it still did not stop others from yearning for Legendary weapons.
When the ordinary audience members saw the legendary weapon, they were extremely excited.
Even most blacksmiths would find it hard to see equipment of this level, let alone those who did not know much about blacksmithing.
Looking at the spear in the red sandalwood box, Wu Mo’s heart stirred slightly.
His brows drooped a little, and he simultaneously chanted in his heart, ‘Equipment appraisal.’
[Equipment appraisal completed. One hundred points have been consumed. The equipment’s attributes are as follows…]
