Chapter 60
After giving the welcoming speech, Wang Shuren proceeded to signal a servant to come on the stage with a steel sword in her hands .
The servant then placed the sword on the stand that was in the middle of the stage .
The sword looked like any more steel sword, however, unlike normal swords, there was faint Profound Qi that surrounded the blade .
"I welcome you the first item for today— a Spiritual Treasure— the Spirit Sword!" Wang Shuren said with enthusiasm behind her voice .
Besides normal weapons, there are weapons with Profound Qi embedded into them, giving them tyrannical and unrivaled powers that normal weapons could never hope to compete with, and these kinds of weapons are called Spiritual Treasures .
Spiritual Treasures are only available to cultivators with a sufficient cultivation base, as it requires an enormous amount of Profound Qi just to control it . However, once a cultivator has the ability to wield a Spiritual Treasure, they can even split mountains and seas with a single strike .
The Spirit Sword being showcased was such a Spiritual Treasure, but it was only a Spiritual Treasure at the lowest grade— the Spirit-grade .
"It's really a Spiritual Treasure! The rumors were true!"
The crowd instantly became hyped, as this was the first time most of these people have ever seen a Spiritual Treasure in person .
"The starting bid for this Spirit Sword will be 75 Spirit Stones!"
Spirit Stones are similar to monster cores and are capable of assisting cultivators in their cultivation . Though, cultivators also use them as a currency in the cultivation world, especially when it came to buying expensive items that would require an enormous amount of gold .
"80 Spirit Stones!"
"82 Spirit Stones!"
"85 Spirit Stones!"
Instantly, the crowd began shouting their offer one after another .
After a few minutes of fierce fighting with offers, the Spirit Sword was sold to a wealthy-looking young man, who looked to be a disciple for some Sect, for 137 Spirit Stones .
Although that amount didn't seem much, it should be worth mentioning that someone from a common background would normally not be able to afford a single Spirit Stone even if they worked for ten years straight .
In this world, one gold coin would be able to feed a normal family of four for many years, yet a single one of these Spirit Stone would cost at least 10 gold coins .
This showed the difference between cultivators and mortals and the world they live in, and, that even if you have the ability to become a cultivator, you may not be able to sustain yourself afterward for long .
The requirement to become a cultivator and grow as one would require a large amount of resource and wealth, or else they would never truly grow, hence why all cultivators would join Sects, as they are wealthy and powerful organizations that have the ability to provide them with such resources .
However, it should be obvious that one would still be required to work relentlessly for these resources— unless they are some kind of super genius that would unconditionally receive the Sect's assistance even if they refuse the help .
