"I never expected to see something like this. This auction would definitely rank first among all the Qianwu Auctions held over the past ten thousand years." Looking at the golden leaf, Babata spoke with emotion. Even Huyan Bo in his prime would have considered it a treasure. He then briefly explained some of its uses.
For whatever reason, the auction catalog had contained no introduction to the golden leaf, suggesting that it had probably been added at the last minute. Yet the auctioneer did not explain its uses either, which was rather exasperating. To put it bluntly, even an ordinary Immortal might not know what a golden leaf could do.
"A genuine treasure. Unfortunately, we have no hope of getting it." After hearing Babata's explanation, Shen Fei sighed softly. The golden leaf could greatly accelerate one's comprehension of laws while also briefly putting its user into a state of heightened insight. That state was useful even to Immortals.
In other words, with enough golden leaves, an Immortal could advance rapidly. Of course, that was only theoretical. In reality, there were only a few Krassus Ancient Trees in all of the Human Territory. There were not even enough leaves for those at the very top, so having a single one put up for sale was already quite remarkable.
This was also a joint decision by the Five Great Factions. Every so often, they released some treasures onto the market. Although they were powerful, they could not gather every human genius under their banners. Some geniuses disliked restrictions and would not necessarily join them. For the sake of humanity as a whole, the Five Great Factions did a fairly good job of nurturing talent.
Of course, one still needed enough wealth to buy those treasures. Anyone without money was out of luck.
