"Sir, Miss, before the bidding begins, our auction house must first verify your assets. This is to prevent anyone from maliciously inflating prices and disrupting the auction! Additionally, to enter a VIP room, you must first present one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones as a deposit. Without it, you cannot participate in the auction!"
After showing the pair into the room, the attendant continued.
"Of course. Here are one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Is this enough?"
With a sweep of his hand, 100 Top-Grade Spirit Stones appeared on the table with a CLATTER.
1 Top-Grade Spirit Stone = 100 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones = 10,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
While that was the official exchange rate, high-quality Spirit Stones were so rare that they were nearly impossible to find for sale.
"It's enough, more than enough! You two are qualified to participate in the auction!"
