Chapter 3 The Third Item
The third item was a formation, a top-tier defensive grand array. For a territory, this formation was quite good, possessing formidable defensive capabilities.
Zhou Yan wasn't interested and didn't participate in the bidding.
Others competed fiercely, and it was only bought after ten minutes.
The fourth item was a top-tier occupational scroll. Ye Bufan was very interested and ended up bidding for it.
The fifth item was quite interesting. It was a tree, and its name was [Nameless Tree]. This was actually a building, and a very special one at that.
No one knew what kind of tree this tree would grow into. This building could not be removed. Once constructed, it would disappear with the demise of the territory. It was a very special building.
Zhou Yan was very interested, and others were equally so.
"This is the first time I've seen such a building. It's quite interesting," Ye Bufan said.
"You want it?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Aren't you even more eager for it than I am?" Ye Bufan could tell from Zhou Yan's expression that Zhou Yan would definitely buy this item.
"It seems this item's price will exceed a trillion," Zhou Yan observed the situation, noting that many people wanted to buy it.
The [Nameless Tree] auction began with a starting price of eight hundred billion. Although the starting price was a bit high, there were still many interested parties.
Zhou Yan made a rough estimation and then shouted, "One hundred and fifty trillion!"
After a while, someone said, "One hundred and fifty-one trillion!"
There were still others competing, but only two or three remained. Zhou Yan spoke again, "One hundred and seventy trillion!"
The other few fell silent after hearing Zhou Yan's bid again.
They were bidding in tens or hundreds of billions, but Zhou Yan's increment was much more ruthless, directly adding one hundred billion.
The surrounding crowd was in an uproar again. They didn't know what to say and could only reluctantly give up.
"When this building is finally formed, you must tell me so I can satisfy my curiosity," Ye Bufan said.
"Don't worry, I will tell you then," Zhou Yan replied.
There were only five auction items left. The sixth auction item was a spatial magic cultivation technique. This technique was incredibly valuable, but Zhou Yan wasn't interested.
This spatial magic secret manual was also auctioned for a staggering two trillion, once again breaking the peak of this auction.
The seventh item was a scroll, and it was a scroll of extremely destructive power. Zhou Yan didn't need it and it was bought by someone else.
The eighth item was actually a technological item, an RR-quality combat airship. It not only possessed strong offensive capabilities but also a very fast flight speed.
It could fly, dive into the depths of the sea, and even travel through space. Such an airship was indeed excellent.
Although its quality wasn't top-tier, it depended on its classification. Airships of this type were rare even in the entire Lord's World.
However, Zhou Yan didn't like it because Zhou Yan's territory already had such an airship, so he didn't need it.
Many people liked this airship, and Ye Bufan participated in the bidding, but the price exceeded three trillion, and Ye Bufan gave up.
Finally, this airship was auctioned for over five trillion.
There were only two items left. These two items would undoubtedly surpass the previous ones.
The ninth item appeared: a set of Saint artifact-level defensive armor.
A Saint artifact set, and defensive armor at that! As soon as this set appeared, everyone at the auction began to discuss. Such equipment was truly too rare. A complete Saint artifact set was worth more than a pseudo-divine artifact defensive item.
The set effect was that powerful, so many people wanted to buy it.
This set included: helmet, armor, gauntlets, lower garment, leg guards, and boots.
The set effect formed by these six pieces of equipment was extremely powerful. Furthermore, after combining the Saint artifacts, the set had reached pseudo-divine artifact quality.
This was equivalent to auctioning a pseudo-divine artifact-level defensive treasure, and it was a complete set.
Ye Bufan said, "You'll bid for this set of armor, won't you?"
"Of course. Although I don't need it myself, there are too many people in my territory who do," Zhou Yan replied.
"This set of equipment will cost at least six trillion, right?" Ye Bufan said.
"A single Saint artifact is less than a hundred billion, but a complete set is rare. The key is that after wearing this set of Saint artifacts, the total attributes exceed those of a pseudo-divine artifact, so its value will not be less than ten trillion," Zhou Yan said.
"Ten trillion! Then what's the final item? That person is truly formidable, to be able to produce so many items for auction in such a short period." Ye Bufan was truly surprised.
"I didn't expect it either. These people are indeed extraordinary; their foundations are very solid."
These powers that had existed for so long possessed extraordinary foundations. To be able to gather so many good items in such a short time after their auction items were taken away truly shocked Zhou Yan.
The starting bid was one trillion. Zhou Yan directly shouted, "Ten trillion!"
Zhou Yan always raised the price to a very high level, causing most people to back down.
But this time, there were still over a dozen competitors.
Zhou Yan continued, "Twelve trillion!"
Everyone else was speechless. The feeling of using money to crush others to the point where they couldn't compete was truly unbearable.
This price silenced everyone.
Finally, Zhou Yan once again purchased this set of Saint artifact armor.
"Twelve trillion..." Ye Bufan currently only had a set of spiritual energy armor. Even his father didn't have a set of Saint artifact armor.
"There's only one item left. I wonder what that person will bring out," Ye Bufan said curiously.
Zhou Yan was also curious. Thus, under everyone's curious gaze, an equipment emanating divine power was brought forward.
"Holy cow, a pseudo-divine artifact!" Ye Bufan exclaimed in shock.
"My heavens, it really is a pseudo-divine artifact!"
"It's actually a pseudo-divine artifact."
"This should be the pseudo-divine artifact that was originally intended for auction at this auction," Zhou Yan said.
"Among the items they took away, were there none of this level?" Ye Bufan asked.
"The压轴 (ultimate/finale) items were not among those taken. They were separately placed in the territories of the ten directors and would only be brought out for auction at the very end," Zhou Yan explained.
"That's truly a shame. If they had done that with all their items, they wouldn't have lost so many," Ye Bufan said.
"How can I put it? There are pros and cons. Even if placed on the Lord's Continent, there are great dangers. Who knows when enemies might attack, and the entire territory could disappear," Zhou Yan said.
"After this auction ends, have you found your target?" Ye Bufan asked.
"Of course I have. I want to stir up a bloodbath on the Lord's Continent," Zhou Yan declared.
"I eagerly await that moment," Ye Bufan said.
"It will be soon. I'll take action once we return to Ziwei Academy," Zhou Yan stated his planned timing.
