A very old stone sword broken into two pieces.
The appearance of the sword could be considered very poor. If it wasn't being sold by auction, many would think the item was a piece of trash.
The crowd was curious about the item.
Many could not identify the qualities of the item, only a small portion of cultivators did.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that many may think that this item is useless, but look closely and try to feel the majestic power being emanated from this sword." The auctioneer explained to those who did not understand the value of the item.
Some fixed their attention on the broken sword, but few could feel great contained power.
"Mr. Clark, I have a question about this item." A voice from inside one of the VIP lounges echoed.
"Sir, what's your question?"
"Your Golden Coins Commerce Chamber failed to restore this item?"
That was an important one.
