The market value of a low-grade tier-seven artifact usually ranged between one to two billion spirit stones, while a mid-grade tier-seven artifact would range between three to six billion. Because of that, the starting price of three thousand palace points for the Infernal Sovereign Wings felt slightly higher than expected.
However, the auctioneer soon revealed the reason.
Within the crimson bones of the wings were ancient rune markings, remnants left behind by a long-forgotten magus. These markings were said to contain fragments of an ancient technique, hidden deep within the structure of the artifact. Anyone capable of deciphering the runes might gain access to that lost knowledge.
The revelation immediately ignited the crowd.
Even with the already high starting price, many cultivators quickly joined the bidding.
"Three thousand five hundred!"
"Five thousand!"
"Five thousand five hundred!"
"Six thousand!"
The numbers rose rapidly.
