All in all, most Sword Cultivators were poor. Though their sects were wealthy, their Spirit Stones all had places they needed to go.
Most of the Sword Cultivators who had come over the past few days had only come to join the excitement. After all, the Three Realms Auction House had sent them invitations; they could hardly refuse to attend.
The main reason was still that they had not taken the matter to heart. After all, the Three Realms Auction House had released news of the Demon Sword several days earlier, but it had not caused much of a stir at the time, its brilliance overshadowed by the other auction items.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the starting bid for the Demon Sword is one thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
For ease of calculating prices, the Three Realms Auction House also used Spirit Stones as its unit of measurement at auctions, but the items the guests offered were not necessarily Spirit Stones, especially those offered by members of the Devil Race and Demon Race.
Besides, Top-Grade Spirit Stones were not cabbages growing by the roadside. One thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones was merely a price.
Every private room had a maidservant assigned to it. Unlike the other maidservants, she was not responsible for attending to the guests in the room. Her task was to appraise the things they offered.
"Big brother, haven't you always wanted a good sword? I think this Demon Sword looks pretty good. Why not bid on it for yourself?" Jimo Xiubai said to Jimo Yunqi beside him.
"I can't afford it," Jimo Yunqi said flatly. "Even if we sold both of us together, we wouldn't be worth a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Besides, this Demon Sword is clearly meant for Sword Cultivators. Your big brother knows his own limits."
