The auction turned out to be rather entertaining endeavor. In quick succession tens of artifacts were auctioned one after another. Weapons, spatial items, and some amazing creations like gravity steps were sold as if they were common household objects.
Practically all guests placed a bid now and then, but it was mostly for fun. The majority of the artifacts were purchased by a handful of people despite each costing a fortune.
The atmosphere was joyful with everyone drinking and feasting on delicacies. Lee was caught by surprise, realizing that the hegemons of the world could be so laid-back and casually joke with one other. Even Sect Master Mo stood up to raise his glass on several occasions when someone famous outbid him, and his reaction was met with laughter and applause every time.
