The moment Ren Mei unveiled the Sword, Ikasa recognized it. It was none other than the very first Spiritual Weapon made by Gu Dan, the Yijian Sword!
The first item to be auctioned would usually set the tone for the rest of the event. If it did not excite the patrons enough to loosen their pockets, rest of the items would also be sold for a subpar price.
So, any Auction House would be very careful when choosing the first item to be auctioned. Over time, the first item in any auction became a position of honor for budding Master rank professionals.
Numerous emerging Master Blacksmiths dream to have their weapon be the opening act for any Auction. And here, Gu Dan's very first Spiritual weapon had earned him this honor!
'If that old man had agreed to come, he would have gone delirious with joy.'
