"Yes, Mr. Tree, I arrived at Ampejiu. She is still sitting in our Shrek exclusive area. I am afraid of her."
"An Peijiu? Who is that?" asked the old tree with some confusion.
"Temple of the God of War, the Seventh God of War, the Demonic God of War An Peijiu." Ling Yiyi said in a deep voice.
The old tree's eyes gleamed, "You mean, the War God Temple might make a move? With the price so high, can they come up with so much money at once?"
Ling Yiyi said, "It's hard to say. If it's just the War God Temple, it shouldn't be possible, but the War God Temple is backed by the Federation. If the Federation is determined to get this artifact, it's not impossible. After all, for the Federation, these are just numbers, and they can just issue more currency to hedge."
The old tree narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then let them be disappointed. Adjust the price to one trillion. I wonder if they have the courage to use one trillion federal coins to hedge. Even if they do, we will arrange people to participate in the auction. It's not that easy to take away the artifact."
"yes."
The first lot was auctioned off soon. Lan Xuanyu came here mainly to accompany his family today, so he didn't have much interest in bidding. He just kept explaining the auction rules here.
Hearing the prices of the items, Nan Cheng couldn't help but gasp, "Too expensive. Are these few fruits going to cost so much?"
Lan Xuanyu said: "This is a benefit of the academy. Some of the items in our Shrek Auction House are not available outside. So, it is not too expensive. After all, things are valuable because they are rare."
The items were auctioned one by one, but not many people placed bids today. Almost everyone was attracted by Ling Yiyi's initial words and wanted to see the true appearance of the artifact as soon as possible, so they were not so interested in bidding.
Time passed by, and the lots were delivered one by one. There were also some good things among them.
"The next lot is made by a level six spirit forging master. It is a piece of spirit forging cloud iron weighing three kilograms. It is an excellent material for making battle armor with two characters or more. The starting price is 500,000 federal coins, and each bid must not be less than 20,000 federal coins. The bidding starts now."
Spirit-forged metal
Hearing these words, Lan Xuanyu's eyes widened. Five hundred thousand federal coins? This price is not very expensive! Is the spirit forging metal so cheap
You know, a yellow-level badge can be exchanged for 200,000 federal coins here. 500,000 federal coins are just two and a half yellow-level badges.
Cloud iron is not too expensive among rare metals, but if you want to buy one cubic meter of raw rare metal, you need two yellow badges. And one cubic meter of raw metal can forge dozens of kilograms of thousand-forged metal. Spirit forging needs to be purified again, and there is a probability of failure. Calculated, this 500,000 is almost the cost price, right? For ordinary forgers, it should be so.
While he was thinking this in his mind, the bidders behind him were getting a little excited.
"Spiritual forging, there is actually spiritual forging metal being offered for auction? This is too rare! I must get it at any price."
"One million!" The first price immediately dispelled all doubts in Lan Xuanyu's mind. Double it, it actually doubled directly.
He subconsciously looked back and saw many bidders with excited looks on their faces.
One million was certainly not the final price, but just the beginning. Bidders excitedly made bids one after another, and for a while, the price of this piece of spiritual forged cloud iron began to rise rapidly. It was not until it exceeded 1.5 million federal coins that the price began to gradually ease.
A piece of spiritual forging can be sold for so much money
You know, a purple badge, at the auction house, can only be exchanged for more than 2 million federal coins at most. This is almost equivalent to the value of a purple badge.
"Is spiritual forging so valuable?" Dong Qianqiu touched him and asked.
Lan Xuanyu said blankly: "I don't know either!"
An Peijiu said: "The profession of forging is relatively niche, but on the other hand, high-level rare metals are always in short supply in the market. Almost all high-level soul guide tools in the Federation are made of rare metals. And the quality of rare metals often determines the value of the tool itself."
"To put it simply, as a member of Shrek Academy, you must know about battle armor, and you must have battle armor. The production of battle armor requires rare metals, and the higher the grade, the higher the requirements. In fact, the same is true for the production of mechas. The most luxurious mechas are made entirely of high-grade metals. Rare metals have a very strong self-repair ability when they reach the level of spiritual forging. If a mecha has the ability to recover itself, how powerful would it be? There are also many core arrays of soul guides that require rare metals to make. The higher the grade of the rare metal, the higher the efficiency of the array, and the more durable it is. So think about it, how in short supply are high-grade rare metals?"
"The status of the Federation Blacksmith Association is even comparable to that of the Mechanic Association because of this. Almost all high-level blacksmiths are managed by the association. The source of high-level rare metals is monopolized and the Federation allocates them uniformly. It is no longer a matter of price to obtain them. When such a large piece of spiritual forging metal appears at the auction, it is bound to be fought over. Just wait and see, it will definitely be over two million."
As An Peijiu was speaking, as expected, the auction price of the Yuntie on the stage had exceeded two million federal coins.
“Can’t the blacksmiths sell it themselves? Wouldn’t they make more money that way? Why should they hand it over to the federation?” Lan Xuanyu asked puzzledly.
An Peijiu said: "Because it is too difficult to train a blacksmith. If a blacksmith wants to reach the level of spiritual forging, countless rare metals are needed. How can ordinary people afford it? They need capital support behind them. Therefore, almost all blacksmiths who can come out are specially trained and have signed an agreement that the items they forge in the future can only be sold to investors. Almost all major forces have their own trained blacksmiths, but rare metals are still never enough. There is no saturation. Imagine if we had enough high-level rare metals, we could also build warships. Of course, that is impossible, because now even the production of mechas is far from enough. Mechas that can be made of hundred-forged metals are already the best among the purple level. If it is a mecha made of thousand-forged metal, it can even reach the black level."
Undoubtedly, what An Peijiu said was very useful to Lan Xuanyu. To improve as a forger, a large amount of resources were needed, and the resources were naturally rare metals. And he seemed to have already met such conditions. Therefore, it was no problem for him to rely on forging to obtain funds in the future as planned.
In the end, this piece of cloud iron was sold at a high price of 2.26 million federal coins, which set off a small sensation in today's auction.
Several more lots were auctioned, but none of them caused much excitement.
"Next, it's our main auction item for today. We've already played the detailed introduction many times, and it's widely circulated in the Federation, so I won't waste time here. Next, please welcome the deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, the helmsman and founder of the School of Life, Mr. Shu. He will meet you with the real artifact."
The whole audience burst into applause. Everyone stared at the stage with wide eyes. The magic weapon, the magic weapon is coming out!
An Peijiu's eyes also lit up with wonder, a divine weapon, that was the Silver Dragon Spear!
A green light flashed, and the old man with white hair and beard appeared on the auction table with a smile on his face.
When he arrived at the old tree, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. The old tree had given him the Life Ruyi, which had been a great help to him. This naturally made Lan Xuanyu have a great fondness for the School of Life.
