Chapter 189: Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor, Auction Concludes
"Everyone, for this auction, most of the items have already been sold!"
Princess Zichen smiled, her gentle voice echoing throughout the entire auction hall: "Now only the final showpiece remains. Once this item is sold, this Super Auction will officially conclude!"
Hearing this, everyone present became incredibly excited. Even Zuo Shanke, sitting beside Lu Qingshan, looked up at Princess Zichen on the high platform with great anticipation.
"Zuo Shanke, this is..." Lu Qingshan couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Ten Thousand Worlds King, this is your first time attending a Super Auction, so you are not yet clear on the rules of the Super Auction!"
Zuo Shanke immediately said excitedly: "Every Super Auction has one showpiece item, and this item is often a treasure ten or a hundred times more precious than the Purple Thunder Sky-Wing Sword you just bought. Such treasures are usually provided by our Human Race for other alien races within the Hong Alliance to fight over!"
"So that's how it is?"
After hearing Zuo Shanke's words, Lu Qingshan was also slightly surprised in his heart.
Just as Lu Qingshan and Zuo Shanke were conversing, Princess Zichen on the high auction platform spoke again.
"I believe everyone has been waiting impatiently, and I have also been looking forward to this moment!"
Princess Zichen's voice instantly became excited: "But before this, we must once again thank the great Human Race. I hope the Hong Alliance can become even more prosperous under the leadership of the Human Race!"
"I now announce that this final showpiece is a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor provided by a supreme existence of the Human Race!"
"I believe everyone is clear on the importance of good armor for a powerful expert, and how precious a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor is. I will not elaborate further; I believe everyone understands clearly!"
Boom!!
Hearing Princess Zichen's words, the auction hall instantly boiled over completely.
"It's actually a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor?"
"I didn't expect the Human Race to bring out a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor this time!"
"Heavens! I have attended nearly a thousand Super Auctions, and this is the first time I have seen a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao appear! And it is a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor!"
"Hahaha! I heard that even a Seven-Star Hegemon finds it very difficult to obtain a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor. It seems things are about to go crazy; the auction price this time will be extremely crazy!"
"Go quickly and inform the Leader!"
"Go quickly and gather resources! The Leader has just stepped into the Seven-Star realm and is exactly lacking a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor for protection. This time, even if we exert the full strength of our entire race, we must secure this Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor!"
Discussion voices continued to rise. Lu Qingshan could feel the disbelief, envy, anticipation, excitement, and other emotions contained in the murmurs of the crowd around him.
At this moment, he was also extremely surprised in his heart!
"It's actually a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor?"
Even though Lu Qingshan had prepared himself mentally, he was still somewhat dazed at this moment.
Although in the original work, Luo Feng possessed several Supreme Treasures at the Domain Master level, including the Star Tower, a supreme Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, that was because his master was Hun Dun Chengzhu, and because his master was the reincarnated God King Zuo Shanke!
It must be known that before Luo Feng went to the Outer Battlefield, his performance was still unable to compare to Kedi's, yet Kedi did not receive a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao bestowed by Hun Dun Chengzhu!
The reason Hun Dun Chengzhu bestowed a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Wing on Luo Feng was entirely because Hun Dun Chengzhu's junior disciple, Kedi, perished in the hands of alien races while at the Domain Master level.
And Hun Dun Chengzhu himself was one of the peak existences among the Universe Masters. He did not want Luo Feng to follow in Kedi's footsteps, so he casually bestowed the Shi Wu Wings, which were of little use to him anymore.
As for the supreme Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, the Star Tower, what kind of torment did Luo Feng undergo when he accepted it as his master?
Even Zuo Shanke, this reincarnated God King, was not certain if anyone could successfully accept it as their master!
Only because Luo Feng succeeded in accepting it as his master was he able to gain Zuo Shanke's recognition and obtain the Tower Pearl, the Star Propagation Map, and many other Supreme Treasures!
What about everyone else besides Luo Feng?
Zifeng Zunzhe, as one of Hun Dun Chengzhu's earliest disciples and a Universe Hegemon, had already experienced the opening of the Primal Star countless times, yet he did not even possess a single Soul-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao;
Pei Feng Zunzhe, as one of the Zushen Sect's candidate Divine Generals and a Universe Hegemon, only had two Supreme Treasures protecting his body;
Qian Wu Guozhu, as a Universe Guozhu of a certain region, could not lift his head before many friends due to debts of several Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points...
Therefore, even a most ordinary Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao is enough to make a Universe Hegemon's heart flutter, let alone other Universe Zifeng Zunzhe with weaker strength!
And for the Human Race to bring out a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao for auction at this Super Auction would absolutely drive countless alien Universe Zifeng Zunzhe within Hong Dun Cheng crazy!
Of course, a single Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao is completely insignificant to the entire Human Race.
After all, besides a vast number of Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, the Human Race also has the Universe Masters who sit high above, and the Universe Supreme Beings standing at the very peak of the universe!
"However..."
Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "Although ordinary Supreme Treasures mean nothing to the Human Race, the fact that one can appear at an auction held once every ten thousand eras is probably due to the recent opening of the Primal Star."
"Yes! I also didn't expect a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor to appear this time!"
Just as Lu Qingshan felt shocked in his heart, Zuo Shanke beside him spoke again: "I have cultivated until now and have attended this Super Auction tens of thousands of times, yet I have seen very few Supreme Treasures. I never thought I would see one this time, and it is a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor!"
"The appearance of such a super treasure at the Super Auction will absolutely drive countless alien Zifeng Zunzhe crazy!"
"Although we, the Hei Fengwang Immortals, are not qualified to bid for a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, being able to see a precious Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao is also not a wasted journey!"
On the high auction platform, Princess Zichen's voice rang out again.
"The auction for this Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor will be the same as before: no contribution points are needed; you only need to have enough Heavy Treasure Points!"
"If you do not have enough Heavy Treasure Points, you can also exchange various resources!"
"Now, the auction for the Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Armor officially begins. The starting price is zero, but every bid increase must be no less than one Heavy Treasure Point!"
After hearing Princess Zichen's words, Lu Qingshan sighed deeply in his heart.
It must be known that within the Human Race, Universe Zifeng Zunzhe do not need so-called contribution points to exchange for treasures.
However, alien races within Hong Dun Cheng usually need to make sufficient contributions to the Human Race if they wish to exchange for precious treasures.
And at this moment...
"Five thousand Heavy Treasure Points!"
This number suddenly appeared on the huge screen, causing countless Hei Fengwang Immortals present to sigh.
One Heavy Treasure Point is twelve trillion Hunyuan units. How much is five thousand Heavy Treasure Points?
This is truly too wealthy and extravagant!
Afterwards, the number jumped sharply...
"One hundred thousand heavy treasure points!"
Seeing such a price, some Hei Fengwang Immortals who had never attended a Super Auction were completely stunned.
And some Universe Zifeng Zunzhe who had originally been eager to bid were also dumbfounded, after all, even combining the entire fortune of most of them did not reach one hundred thousand heavy treasure points.
Even if the entire wealth of some ordinary races were combined, it might not reach one hundred thousand heavy treasure points, let alone weak races!
Yet Lu Qingshan's expression at this moment was quite calm.
Although he was still far from obtaining such a supreme treasure armor, as long as his strength continued to improve, one day he would become a supreme expert who could casually produce such supreme treasures for others to fight over.
"23,781 heavy treasure points! Is there any higher?"
"23,783 heavy treasure points, 23,800 heavy treasure points, now it is 23,800 heavy treasure points!"
Standing on the auction podium, Princess Zichen shouted with extreme excitement: "Is there any higher price? The countdown begins now... 10, 9, 8..."
"3... 2... 1! Congratulations to guest number ZSE45603, you have obtained this supreme treasure armor capable of dominating the universe; may it shine brilliantly in your hands!"
Watching the supreme treasure armor sell for such a high price, Lu Qingshan sighed again in his heart.
Even if all the items auctioned earlier in this Super Auction were combined, they probably would not be as precious as this final supreme treasure armor.
And after successfully auctioning this final showpiece, Princess Zichen said excitedly: "Everyone, all items in this Super Auction have been sold; thank you for your support, we will meet again in ten thousand eras!"
"I now officially declare this Super Auction officially concluded!"
The treasures auctioned at the Super Auction within Hong Alliance City are, under normal circumstances, transported by the transportation departments of the five major powers of the Human Race; even department heads at the Universe Zifeng Zunzhe level might personally mobilize, so there is absolutely no need to worry about any safety issues occurring during transport.
If a treasure were actually lost, the five major powers of the Human Race would definitely compensate the full price!
And after the Super Auction ended, Lu Qingshan's second clone, who was cultivating within Chaos City, left the Initial Universe and returned to the manor on the continent of the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters.
Although the treasures could be delivered directly to Chaos City, Lu Qingshan still chose to complete the handover within the manor on the Headquarters Continent.
First, the treasures he purchased would be used by his main body, which operates in the Outer Battlefield; even if delivered to Chaos City, they would have to be sent out again;
Second, the inheritance of the Four Divine Generals would open in only three years; naturally, he had to leave Chaos City to receive the Divine General inheritance!
Half a month after the Super Auction ended, 'Jin Hongwang' from the transportation department appeared outside Lu Qingshan's manor.
This Jin Hongwang was also one of the five major directors of the transportation department; in the previous purge of the transportation department, only he and Lord Heifeng among the five directors had escaped disaster.
After this Super Auction ended, three of the five major directors of the Virtual Universe Company's transportation department mobilized.
And what Jin Hongwang brought this time was naturally the many treasures Lu Qingshan had won at the Super Auction.
"Jin Hongwang!"
Upon seeing Jin Hongwang appear, Lu Qingshan quickly came out to welcome him.
He had previously worked in the transportation department, so he was naturally quite familiar with Jin Hongwang.
"Wan Jiewang!"
Upon seeing Lu Qingshan appear, Jin Hongwang greeted him with equal enthusiasm.
As one of Lord Heifeng's close friends, Jin Hongwang had long known that Lu Qingshan had gained the favor of several Universe Dominators.
So although he felt his own strength and background were superior to Lu Qingshan's, he had always been quite enthusiastic toward Lu Qingshan.
But he never expected that Lu Qingshan would even qualify to attend the Super Auction, and that the treasures he won would be significant enough for him, a transportation department director, to personally escort!
You must know, items entrusted to him for transport must be treasures worth at least one trillion Hunyuan units!
Among the many Hei Fengwang Immortals of the Human Race, the number of Hei Fengwang Immortals possessing such a vast fortune absolutely does not exceed ten thousand!
Yet how long has this Wan Jiewang been cultivating?
How could he have accumulated such astonishing treasures?
"Jin Hongwang!"
Lu Qingshan immediately invited: "I just happened to obtain a bottle of fine wine today; let's go in and have a drink together!"
"Let's make it next time!"
Jin Hongwang quickly said: "Wan Jiewang, it is not that I refuse to give you face, but the Super Auction has just ended, and the transportation department is currently very busy!"
"How about this? Once I finish this matter at hand, I will personally host a banquet; at that time, I will invite Lord Heifeng, and the three of us will have a good drink together!"
"Very well!"
Lu Qingshan immediately said: "Then I shall be waiting for Jin Hongwang's fine wine!"
"No problem!"
Jin Hongwang nodded slightly, then waved his hand to produce a precision instrument, saying: "Then let us begin the treasure handover now!"
"Mm!"
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, and immediately a wisp of Immortal Divine Power seeped into that precision instrument.
Although he and Jin Hongwang were familiar with each other, the corresponding handover procedures were indispensable.
"Guest identity confirmed; handover may proceed."
A voice issued from within the precision instrument, and immediately a World Ring flew out from its interior.
Seeing that Lu Qingshan had taken the World Ring, Jin Hongwang quickly said: "Wan Jiewang, since the handover is complete, I shall take my leave first!"
"Good!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly in response.
After Jin Hongwang and his entourage departed, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to his manor with that World Ring.
Inside the manor's main hall, Lu Qingshan shifted his mind, and a wisp of Divine Power immediately seeped into the interior of the World Ring, instantly completing the master-claiming process.
The material of this World Ring was extremely precious, and combined with its vast interior space, it was worth at least several million Hunyuan units.
Just this single World Ring was enough to equal the entire fortune of many High Military Lords.
However, since the treasures Lu Qingshan auctioned this time were worth hundreds of billions, or even trillions of Hunyuan units, gifting him a rather precious World Ring was naturally the most normal thing.
Lu Qingshan shifted his mind, and three silver metal boxes instantly appeared within the manor's main hall.
Lu Qingshan slowly opened these silver metal boxes.
The first metal box was relatively small, its length less than one meter, containing an antique-looking bronze mirror covered in various strange secret runes; this was the Space-Locking Mirror that Lu Qingshan had purchased for over eight hundred billion Hunyuan units.
"The Space-Locking Mirror?"
Lu Qingshan released a wisp of divine power to penetrate it, quickly comprehending much information about this Space-Locking Mirror.
The primary function of this Space-Locking Mirror was naturally to perform space lockdown, preventing experts proficient in space laws from teleporting within it; however, the range this Space-Locking Mirror could lock down was far smaller than the space lockdown personally cast by a Hei Fengwang Immortal.
For a typical Hei Fengwang Immortal capable of casting space lockdown, once the ability was activated, they could completely lock down the universe space within a surrounding range of thirty million kilometers.
Yet the Space-Locking Mirror Lu Qingshan purchased had an emission range divided into two levels:
The first tier could emit a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers; the second tier could emit a radius of one million kilometers!
Perhaps there were treasures with an even larger space lockdown emission range, but they were beyond what the current Lu Qingshan could afford.
"For me, a range of one million kilometers is sufficient!" Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart.
The second silver metal box was similar in size to the first metal box, containing the very "Heart of Teleportation" that Lu Qingshan had purchased; at that time, it had cost him over two hundred billion Hunyuan units, and he had even owed Zunzhe Qingping seven hundred billion Hunyuan units for it.
Moreover, the range this Heart of Teleportation could teleport was only ten million kilometers, far inferior to the one-light-year range that an expert mastering teleportation could cast.
Click!
The third silver metal box opened, and Lu Qingshan's eyes instantly brightened.
Inside lay a purple long sword measuring over three meters in length, its blade carved with countless complex secret runes.
Although this long sword was slightly long for Lu Qingshan's physique, supreme treasures could change size at will according to their master's physique, so there was no need to worry about the problem of adapting to one's body size.
And merely having this purple long sword placed there, Lu Qingshan felt an explosive, vast aura rush toward him.
"Is this the Purple Thunder Lei Tianyi Sword?"
Lu Qingshan reached out, took the long sword from the metal box, held it in his hand, and felt its astonishing power.
The weight of this long sword was astonishing; its weight alone could already rival a massive starship.
However, at Lu Qingshan's level, playing with stars was an extremely simple matter, let alone starships.
"The Space-Locking Mirror, the Heart of Teleportation, the Purple Thunder Lei Tianyi Sword!"
After inspecting all three treasures, Lu Qingshan quickly imprinted his divine power mark onto the three treasures.
"Let's go test the might of these treasures!" Thinking this, Lu Qingshan quickly left the mansion and headed for the nearby fixed Divine Kingdom teleportation channel.
The space and time of the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters Continent were completely locked down; naturally, if he wanted to cast the teleportation ability, he had to leave the lockdown area.
After several transfers, Lu Qingshan quickly arrived at a desolate starry sky.
"Space Lockdown!"
Lu Qingshan first placed a pre-purchased Wood Divine Source Crystal into the energy slot of the Space-Locking Mirror, then quickly activated the space lockdown ability.
After the ability was cast, Lu Qingshan quickly felt that, with the Space-Locking Mirror as the core, an invisible strange energy instantly spread throughout the void within a surrounding range of one hundred thousand kilometers.
Subsequently, the space within a diameter of one hundred thousand kilometers was entirely locked down; to destroy this space lockdown, one would have to destroy the Space-Locking Mirror.
And since the Space-Locking Mirror was fused into Lu Qingshan's divine body, how could it be easily destroyed by others?
"And teleportation!"
Thinking this, Lu Qingshan quickly closed the Space-Locking Mirror, then used the Heart of Teleportation to cast the teleportation ability.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Lu Qingshan's figure was seen constantly flashing in the surrounding void.
Moments later...
"Compared to the teleportation cast by an expert themselves, the teleportation cast by this Heart of Teleportation not only has a smaller range but is also less smooth!"
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Basically, it can only serve as a surprise auxiliary treasure, or one can use it to escape when the opponent has no space lockdown!"
