Chapter 624: Chapter 295: Divine Gifted Meteorite Iron
The melodious music resounded in the auction hall, as a silver-haired elder in a tailored suit ascended to the central platform amidst the performance of a top-tier orchestra.
"I never expected they’d even invite the Divine Power Daoist? It seems the final item of this auction is more precious than I imagined."
In Box No. 6, Jiang Lingfu exclaimed in surprise.
Chu Xiu’s eyes also flickered slightly. Though he did not know the elder at present, he had heard the name of the Divine Power Daoist during previous conversations with the Heroic Spirits.
This was a famed demigod warrior, renowned for the immense power of his Thunder Skill and a powerful Perception Ability akin to Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense.
Even among all demigod cultivators, he ranked among the top in offensive capabilities.
With such a formidable figure present, it underscored the mystery item’s value.
"Brother Jiang, do you also not know what the final mysterious item is?" a Heroic Spirit in the box asked curiously.
Jiang Lingfu shook his head, "I only know of its existence, but specific details remain unclear."
This statement only piqued the crowd’s curiosity further.
As one of the outer world representatives of the Four Great Families, Jiang Lingfu often led family members in training and also held a position in the Investigation Bureau. Despite being a Heroic Spirit, his status and knowledge were not far behind some demigods.
If even he didn’t know, the nature of such a treasured item remaining secret was truly puzzling.
The crowd began to speculate, and amidst this relaxed atmosphere, the auction gradually commenced.
The opening auction item, like those Chu Xiu had seen at the Kyoto auction, was a very powerful and practical King Tier Legend, which immediately incited bids from numerous strong individuals. Before long, the price had been driven up to 80 billion Huaxia Coin, heating up the atmosphere in the auction hall.
Although the value of subsequent items fluctuated, there were occasional high-value items that served as highlights, continuously tugging at the audience’s emotions, ensuring that the auction’s energy never waned.
Even the Heroic Spirits within the box engaged in lively discussions about the items.
Meanwhile, Chu Xiu chatted while frequently placing bids, amassing the materials he desired.
Before long, he had already spent 50 billion Huaxia Coin.
"Brother Qin, it seems you’ve reaped substantial rewards in the Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World, being so generous," a Heroic Spirit jested.
Chu Xiu responded with a light smile, tacitly affirming it.
To collect materials for refining equipment this time, he auctioned off eight Upgrade Cores, keeping only one for Guan Ke.
He also put up two General Tier Legends, the Great Sun Guard Shield, the previously refined Skywalker’s Boots, and the War Fortress Profession.
The price of General Tier Legends was already high, not to mention the enhancement effects from Chu Xiu, and as expected, they fetched a substantial price at auction.
This was the basis for his generous expenditures.
By the time the auction entered its final stages, he had mostly gathered the materials needed for Legendary Equipment, and the Mythical Equipment lacked only one core material.
"The next item is a very special artifact, usable by only a select few, but an invaluable treasure for those who can,"
At this moment, the voice of the Divine Power Daoist echoed from below, and as he lifted the red cloth covering the exhibit, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but rise with a soft exclamation.
Under the red cloth lay a transparent glass box, holding a strange shadow, swaying like flames.
This is...
"This item is known as Old Remains. It has reached Elite Level. Starting price is 2 billion Huaxia Coin!"
Old Remains!
Chu Xiu did not expect to see this at the auction.
Yet the response from the majority of the bidders was tepid. Even after the Divine Power Daoist announced the starting price, ten full seconds passed without a sound.
The Divine Power Daoist could only announce its pass with resignation.
By now, over 400 items had been auctioned, yet those that went unsold numbered less than ten.
A Heroic Spirit next to Chu Xiu chuckled, "Which Civilization Envoy has gone mad with greed? Who does he expect to buy this Old Remains? Only two of the Celestial Kings even possess an Ancient Altar."
The other Heroic Spirits chuckled along, but Chu Xiu remained silent, a contemplative look flashing in his eyes.
So his Ancient Altar was this precious. Reflecting on it, it made sense, as it was the final reward for a perfect pass on Apocalypse Difficulty.
In this case, he seemed to have an opportunity to acquire these Old Remains at a low price, given his minimal competition.
However, this artifact could only be obtained during the Ancient Trials, originally produced by only a few Civilization Envoys.
After some thought, he decided not to compete for this artifact. The reason was simple—he didn’t want to reveal the fact that he owned an Ancient Altar. Bidding now would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Soon, the auction reached its final stage, with only the last 10 finale items remaining. By this time, everything Chu Xiu had put up for auction was sold at very favorable prices, even exceeding his expectations.
Especially the War Fortress Profession, as the S-Class evolution for a Mechanician, it was extremely sought after, ultimately selling for a whopping 60 billion Huaxia Coin.
Including other items, Chu Xiu grossed over 170 billion Huaxia Coin in total.
After deducting the costs of purchasing materials, he still had over 100 billion Huaxia Coin left.
"The tenth item is a Heroic Spirit Level Legend Equipment, named Shadow of the End of the Land."
