"This Immortal Slaying Gourd should be a decent primary artifact."
Duan Yusheng examined this Second Sequence lower-grade primary artifact and offered a word of praise.
However, there was one unsatisfactory detail: a crack ran across the gourd's surface.
It looked small, hardly worth mentioning.
Yet it still gave people pause.
"But it was damaged in battle. Its Rune Restrictions suffered foundational damage, so restoring it completely will not be easy."
He soon shook his head, somewhat regretful.
Sure enough, after the Purple-Robed Old Man auctioneer's introduction, many of the excited attendees calmed down considerably.
"Of course, many sharp-eyed friends have probably noticed this small crack on the Immortal Slaying Gourd as well."
The Purple-Robed Old Man smiled and continued his introduction.
"This is a primary artifact that came from the Netherworld Ghost Abyss. A fierce battle once broke out there, and it withstood an irresistible attack. Some of its Rune Restrictions were permanently destroyed, causing it to fall from a Second Sequence mid-grade primary artifact to its current status as a Second Sequence lower-grade primary artifact."
"Moreover, it can only use the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife one more time. After that use, it will directly fall to the Third Sequence."
"The starting bid is fifty thousand source crystals, with each increase no less than one thousand source crystals. Interested friends may place their bids."

"Fifty-two thousand."
"Fifty-five thousand."
Although people bid,
