The second demigod relic was a battle sword.
The reason why Lin Huang sold the battle sword was that it was just a low-grade demigod relic.
Meanwhile, he had a total of 13 demigod battle swords in his possession. Five of them were mid-grade demigod battle swords while one of them was an expert-grade demigod battle sword relic.
The higher the grade of the demigod relic, the more Life Power it would consume. However, Lin Huang did not have to worry about that as he had endless Life Power in his body due to the Divine Fire.
To him, he could just use the expert-grade demigod battle sword relic as soon as he leveled up to imperial-level. He would keep one or two mid-grade demigod battle sword relic as backup at the most and sell the rest.
On the auction stage, the auctioneer, Yun Mei'er, removed the red cloth.
A cool-looking ink-black saber appeared in front of everyone. Its entire body was sparkling and translucent like black jade.
The crowd exclaimed as soon as they saw the battle sword. They were even more shocked than when they saw the first mid-grade demigod sword relic.
"It's so beautiful. This sword is like a piece of art!"
"I think it'll look great as a decoration in the living room."
"I don't think it's made of metal. Won't it break during a battle?"
Yi Yeyu, who was in VIP Room S7 on the third floor, could not help but exclaim, "I'm not a sword cultivator, but I want to buy this sword. Looks are justice. This saying is true no matter where you put it. "
"I think sword cultivators will fight for this sword." Yi Zheng, who was standing aside, nodded and glanced at Lin Huang. However, Lin Huang looked calm and nobody could tell what he was feeling.
In reality, Lin Huang liked the sword very much. However, he decided to sell it after struggling for a while.
He was not Liu Ming and he never had the habit of collecting swords.
To him, practicality was always the top priority for a weapon. Everything else could be put aside. No matter how beautiful it looked, it was not as practical as mid-grade demigod relics and expert-grade demigod relics. There was no need for him to keep it.
On the auction stage, Yun Mei'er did not speak immediately. Instead, she glanced at the crowd. When everyone's attention was attracted by the saber, he slowly opened his mouth.
"This battle sword is called Black Jade.
"Many people might have guessed that this saber isn't forged from metal. It's made of the spine of a demigod-level dragonkin and the Mystic Golden Marrow. "
"Everyone might think that this knife is beautiful. In fact, at night, when the light penetrates, this knife is even more beautiful. "Yun Mei'er finished speaking and clapped her hands twice.
The auction hall suddenly turned pitch-black. Almost at the same time, a white light shot out from behind the transparent stand where the saber was placed.
The white light beam pierced through the saber. Only then did everyone see that the golden specks of light on the saber's body were reflecting golden light, like a twinkling starry sky.
The crowd gasped. Many of them even activated the camera function on their Emperor's Heart Ring to capture the scene.
In VIP Room S7 on the third floor, Lin Huang was dumbfounded.
"There's such a thing?!"
After a while, the beam of light disappeared, and the lights came back on.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Yun Mei'er proceeded to speak in satisfaction.
"According to the available historical materials, this Black Jade is the early work of the Ancient Refinement Master, Ou Yunming. Senior Ou's early work is known for its exquisite beauty. Although the Black Jade is just a low-grade demigod relic, it was bought by the famous collector, Luqiu Yu, at a high price as soon as it was forged.
"I suppose everyone is familiar with the name Luqiu Yu. He's the number one collector in the Ancient Refinement Era in history textbooks. However, many of you might not know that he's also a virtual god-level powerhouse.
"I heard that Master Luqiu kept the Black Jade as an ornament at home after he bought it. A few years later, his nephew, Luqiu Hao, came to visit and saw the saber.
"Luqiu Hao liked the Black Jade as soon as he saw it, so he said to his uncle, 'This is a weapon. A weapon should kill its enemies. That's its destiny. You're wasting God's gift by putting it in your room like a toy. It won't be happy. If you really want to collect it, you should wait until it's done with its battle and slaughter before you return. '
"Therefore, Master Luqiu gave the Black Jade to his nephew. The Black Jade shone brilliantly in Luqiu Hao's hands.
"At least 20 demigod-level monsters were killed by this saber. There were countless monsters below demigod-level. When Luqiu Hao died in the war, Master Luqiu didn't take the saber back. Instead, he buried it with his nephew as a funerary item.
"Although the Black Jade is just a low-grade demigod relic, its collection value is far above that of a high-level demigod relic. It can be said to be comparable to a supreme-grade demigod relic.
"There's only one of this in the entire world. I hope everyone can cherish this auction opportunity, because once you miss it, you may never have a second chance. "
"The Black Jade's starting price is 30 billion Life Crystals. Each increment must be no less than 1.5 billion!"
As soon as Yun Mei'er announced the starting price, the screens in the VIP rooms on the second and third floors lit up one after another.
"VIP Room A32 bids 40 billion!"
"VIP Room A1 bids 50 billion!"
"VIP Room S3 bids 60 billion!"
"VIP Room S8 bids 80 billion!"
…
Seeing the crazily rising bidding price, the venue suddenly became lively.
"Awesome! A low-grade demigod relic is being sold at the price of a mid-grade demigod relic! "
"The Wanbao Auction has never treated this saber as a low-grade demigod relic since the beginning. Even the starting price is 30 billion Life Crystals."
"There are so many rich people. They're fighting for a low-grade demigod relic like this!"
…
In VIP Room S7, Lin Huang could not understand what was going on.
It was just a low-grade demigod relic. Theoretically, it could be sold at 30 billion Life Crystals at most. However, it was already sold at 80 billion now and there were still people bidding for it.
"Is this what they mean when they say that rich people are stupid?" Yi Yeyu pouted.
"This is the happiness of being rich. You can't imagine it," Yi Zheng corrected her while smiling.
After some intense bidding, the Black Jade Saber was finally sold to the guest in VIP Room S8 at a high price of 160 billion Life Crystals.
The price was comparable to an expert-grade demigod relic.
Yun Mei'er almost had wrinkles at the corner of her eyes from smiling. It was the second record that she had created that day. She had doubled the highest price of a low-grade demigod relic in the history of the auction. This record was unlikely to be broken within the next few hundred years. In the next hundreds of years, all the auctioneers would remember that there was an auctioneer named Yun Mei'er who had sold a low-grade demigod relic at a high price of 160 billion Life Crystals when they were learning about auctions.
After the Black Jade Saber was sold, the demigod relics were sent to the auction stage one after another.
There were low-grade demigod relics and mid-grade demigod relics.
However, the five demigod relics were sold at 98 billion, 37 billion, 95 billion, 35 billion, and 110 billion respectively.
Including the three mid-grade demigod relics, none of them were sold at a higher price than the Black Jade Saber.
However, as soon as the seven demigod relics were auctioned off consecutively, everyone's anticipation at the auction had reached its peak.
The reason being the last two god relics would be sold next.
