Chapter 780: Harvest and Prey?

After the Arena of Participation ascended to the sixth tier, Xu Jin extremely wanted to ascend it to the seventh tier.

For one thing, after the Arena of Participation ascended to the seventh tier, new functions might appear; for another, after ascending to the seventh tier, the original functions would all be improved.

Unfortunately, among the requirements for the Arena of Participation to ascend to the seventh tier, Xu Jin had gathered the first few items, including starlight, including the seventh-tier Star Jade Tablet, Fire Spirit, Water Spirit, etc., but only the last three items had never been gathered.

Five pieces of Haotian Glaze, five pieces of Earth Abyss Spirit Sand, and one Star Dome Mysterious Crystal.

Among these last three, the first two were actually not hard to find; Xu Jin already had a portion of them, but the quantity was not enough. The key was the Star Dome Mysterious Crystal, for which there was simply no news at all.

Xu Jin had inquired in many ways, and many people had never even heard of the Star Dome Mysterious Crystal, so there was no way to find it at all.

Today, he suddenly saw it at the auction, and Xu Jin immediately made a decision: no matter what, he had to bid for it in a moment.

"It seems that in the future, I must also arrange for people to regularly pay attention to the information at the auction. However, this matter can be arranged for the Yutang Prince's Mansion to do."

This was the benefit of relying on a force; many small things and trivial matters had people to run errands and complete them, so they wouldn't waste Xu Jin's precious time.

"Everyone, this auction officially begins. The first item on stage is a Wood-type Innate Precious Material. This Wood-type Innate Precious Material has the following characteristics..."

"The consignor requires that the bidding target must include three of the following five types of targets: Water-type and Earth-type Innate Spirit Materials, Zhou Tian Star Dew, Dao-Comprehension Pearls of the Star-Governing Monarch level, and ninth-tier Divine Soul-type spiritual medicine."

"The floor price is..."

"The final winner will be obtained by the one whose bidding target is evaluated by our auction house's appraisal master as having the highest value."

The auction rules of the Baoguang Auction House were still very complicated.

Innate Precious Materials like those for barter were basically hung in the Weiyi Hall. Those that came out for auction here were all for exchanging for cultivation materials, and there were all kinds of requirements.

Especially for things like Innate Precious Materials, it was not realistic to trade purely with Zhou Tian Star Dew.

Because the consumption of Zhou Tian Star Dew was too huge; if an Innate Precious Material were to be measured by Zhou Tian Star Dew, hundreds of drops would be the minimum.

So this kind of complicated comprehensive bidding method was used.

This Wood-type Innate Precious Material was not Xu Jin's; Xu Jin had long ago hung it in the Weiyi Hall to exchange for Innate Precious Materials of the same tier.

At this very moment, Xu Jin just wanted to see what price an Innate Precious Material could sell for here.

The popularity of Innate Precious Materials at the auction completely exceeded Xu Jin's expectations. Within ten breaths, the bid reached twice the floor price.

Forty breaths later, it was sold at over three times the floor price.

One Innate Precious Material was finally exchanged for sixty-one drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, one Star-Governing Monarch Dao-Comprehension Pearl, and four Innate Spirit Materials.

This made Xu Jin's heart flutter.

After this wave of snowballing was over, Xu Jin should be able to produce three to five Innate Precious Materials. By then, taking out one or two to auction here could greatly accelerate his snowballing progress.

As for why it was so hot, the reason was very simple.

Because the essence of the auction of Innate Precious Materials here was using low-tier materials to exchange for high-tier materials, and the premium was very large.

In fact, the largest buyer group for Innate Precious Materials was Emperor Monarch powerhouses and many Tianyang Zhenjun powerhouses.

When these powerhouses were at the ninth tier, even if they were children of aristocratic families or had sect inheritance, most of them used Natal Spirit Treasures refined with Innate Spirit Materials as the main material. After proving the Dao as True Monarchs or even Emperor Monarchs, they had to constantly refine Innate Precious Materials into them to strengthen the power of their Natal Killing Treasures or Emperor Weapons!

A quarter of an hour later, the three Innate Spirit Materials Xu Jin consigned here were auctioned in a row.

In comparison, the auction premium for Innate Spirit Materials was not as high as that for precious materials, because the buyer group for Innate Spirit Materials was mainly powerful tenth-tier Star Monarchs and a small number of Tianyang Zhenjun powerhouses, as well as aristocratic families.

They were also not as rare as Innate Precious Materials.

Like this Baoguang Auction, which was held only once a month, there were only two Innate Precious Materials, but there were over thirty Innate Spirit Materials!

However, the auction proceeds still exceeded Xu Jin's expectations.

If an Innate Spirit Material were measured by Zhou Tian Star Dew, its value would be about fifty to two hundred drops, depending on its characteristics and demand.

But Xu Jin added a floor price requirement when consigning: forty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, at least three Dao-Comprehension Stones, attributes not limited, but Dao-Comprehension Stones could be calculated at a premium.

The value of Dao-Comprehension Stones was not too high; the market price of one was about four drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, but they were very popular.

Originally, adding this condition would have made Xu Jin's Innate Spirit Materials uncompetitive among many auction items.

After all, there were over thirty Innate Spirit Materials consigned here.

But because the Innate Spirit Materials Xu Jin consigned had an extra characteristic, and the appraisal master also added a comment, Xu Jin's Innate Spirit Materials became incomparably popular.

This comment was: "Top-grade Innate Spirit Material, only slightly inferior to Innate Precious Materials. If there is a suitable environment, given time, there may be a possibility of growth and promotion to an Innate Precious Material."

This characteristic of "Top-grade Innate Spirit Material" was deliberately pointed out by Xu Jin, and the latter part was a comment added by the Baoguang Auction House's master after appraisal.

But Xu Jin knew very well that the "Top-grade Innate Spirit Material" was true, but the possibility of promotion to an Innate Precious Material was nearly zero.

This did not prevent it from being sold at a high price.

In the end, the first Innate Spirit Material Xu Jin consigned was sold for one hundred and twenty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew and five Dao-Comprehension Stones.

The second Innate Spirit Material was sold for one hundred and thirty-four drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew and two Dao-Comprehension Stones.

The third Innate Spirit Material was sold for one hundred and eleven drops plus three Dao-Comprehension Stones.

This auction result made Xu Jin beam with joy.

A top-grade characteristic basically had a premium of twenty to thirty percent.

With this sale, the Zhou Tian Star Dew he needed for cultivation would not be lacking in the short term.

Snowballing a few more times, his cultivation resources, at least in terms of Zhou Tian Star Dew, would not be lacking.

It could allow his cultivation to improve rapidly.

Three Innate Spirit Materials accumulated a total of three hundred and sixty-five drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew and ten Dao-Comprehension Stones.

Of course, the auction house still had to take a ten percent commission.

He would get at least about three hundred and thirty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew.

Suddenly, he felt confident.

Next, Xu Jin waited quietly, waiting for the Star Dome Mysterious Crystal to come on stage.

A quarter of an hour later, the auction of the Star Dome Mysterious Crystal began.

"The next item on stage is the Star Dome Mysterious Crystal. This treasure is a necessity for forging and strengthening various Divine Abilities. The floor price is thirty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, but the bidding target is not limited to Zhou Tian Star Dew; all kinds of other rare treasures can be bid."

"There are two pieces. According to the consignor's request, they are auctioned at once. Rare treasures with higher value can be calculated with a ten percent premium."

"Finally, the appraisal master will calculate the highest price on the spot to decide the ownership!"

"Below, bidding begins!"

"Sixty-five drops."

"Seventy drops!"

"Eighty drops plus one Great Tianyang Xingjun Dao-Comprehension Pearl."

"Ninety drops plus two ninth-tier top-grade spiritual medicines."

"Ninety drops plus one Star-Governing Monarch Dao-Comprehension Pearl."

The bidding was fast and kept going up.

But when it reached ninety drops plus one Star-Governing Monarch Dao-Comprehension Pearl, there were very few people bidding.

In comparison, this was a necessity for forging Divine Abilities, and the mainstream bidders at this auction were mostly Star Monarchs and a small number of low-tier Tianyang Zhenjun powerhouses.

After all, there were only two Innate Precious Materials that Tianyang Zhenjun powerhouses needed.

"Ninety drops plus one Star-Governing Monarch Dao-Comprehension Pearl, first bid."

"Ninety drops plus one..."

"I bid one Water-type top-grade Innate Spirit Material." ===== CHAPTER 781 =====
