The Cultivators were disciples sent by the Qingyuan Sect to observe the auction. Their duty was to record how the sect's items performed, then report back so the sect could learn which goods were popular and which were not.
Another part of their job was for situations just like this: to take detailed notes on any unfamiliar Golden Core Cultivators to inform the sect's future dealings.
After the Golden Core Cultivator finished his inspection, several other Cultivators stepped forward to have a look. Of course, these were all serious bidders. The Auctioneer had already prescreened them; those who lacked sufficient wealth were not afforded such a privilege.
A moment later, the bidding began. The starting price of one hundred thirty-four Top-grade Spirit Stones was driven past three hundred within moments.
"Five hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones, going once! Five hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones, going twice..."
