Chapter 444 Shu Lao carrying the artifact
“Yes. Shu Lao, I saw An Peijiu. She is still sitting in our Shrek exclusive area. I am afraid of her...”
“ An Peijiu? Who is that?" Shu Lao asked with some confusion.
"The Temple of War, the seventh God of War, the Demon War God An Peijiu." Ling Yiyi said in a deep voice.
Shu Lao's eyes flashed, "You mean, is it possible that the Temple of War will take action? When the price is so high, can they come up with so much money at once?"
Ling Yiyi said: "It's hard to say. It shouldn't be possible if it's just the Temple of War, but behind the Temple of War is the Federation. If the Federation insists on getting this artifact, it is absolutely necessary to get it. It's not impossible. After all, for the Federation, These are just numbers, they can definitely issue additional currencies to hedge.”
Shulao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then let them down. Adjust the price to one trillion. Let's see if they have the courage to use trillions of federal coins to hedge. Even if they do, we will just arrange for people to participate in the bidding. . It’s not that easy to take away the artifact.”
“Yes.”
The bidding for the first item started soon. Today Lan Xuanyu mainly came to visit with his family and didn't have much intention to bid. He just kept talking about the auction rules here.
Listening to the prices of each item, Nan Cheng couldn't help but gasped, "It's too expensive. Do these few fruits cost so much?"
Lan Xuanyu said: "This is still an academy. It’s a bonus. Some of the items at Shrek’s auction house can’t be seen outside, so they’re not too expensive after all.”
There were only a few people bidding on the item today, but there were not many bidders today. Almost everyone was attracted by Ling Yiyi's initial words. They all wanted to see the true appearance of the artifact as soon as possible, so they were not that interested in bidding.
Time passed by, and the lots were delivered one by one. There are also good things in it.
“The following item is from the hands of a sixth-level spiritual forging master. A piece of spiritual 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 the bid will be no less than 20,000 federal coins each time."
Spirit-forged metal?
Hearing these words, Lan Xuanyu's eyes suddenly widened. Five hundred thousand federal coins? The price is not very expensive! Is spiritual forging metal so cheap?
You know, a yellow-level badge can be exchanged for 200,000 federal coins here. Five hundred thousand federal coins is nothing more than two and a half yellow-level badges.
Yuntie is not too expensive among rare metals, but if you want to buy one cubic meter of original rare metal, you also need two yellow-level badges. It would be good if one cubic meter of raw metal could be used to forge dozens of kilograms of Thousand Forgings. The Spiritual Forgings had to be purified again, and there was still a chance of failure. After all, this five hundred thousand is almost the cost price, right? This should be the case for the average blacksmith.
While he was thinking this, the bidders behind him were a little upset.
"Spiritual forging, there is actually spiritual forging metal on the auction block? This is so rare! We must get it at any cost."
"One million!" The first price This put away the doubts in Lan Xuanyu's heart. Doubled, actually doubled directly.
He glanced back subconsciously and saw many bidders with excited faces. Of course, one million is not the final price, but just the beginning. The bidders excitedly bid, and for a while, the price of this piece of spiritually forged cloud iron began to rise rapidly. It wasn't until it exceeded 1.5 million federal coins that the price began to gradually ease.
How much can a piece of spiritual forging be sold for?
You know, a purple-level badge can be exchanged for more than two million federal coins at most at the auction house. This is almost equivalent to the value of a purple-level badge.
“Is spiritual training so valuable?” Dong Qianqiu touched him and asked.
Lan Xuanyu said blankly: "I don't know either!"
An Peijiu said: "Forging is a relatively niche profession, but on the other hand, high-grade rare metals are always in short supply in the market. Almost all high-grade soul-guiding artifacts in the Federation are made of rare metals. The quality of rare metals often determines the value of the artifact itself. "
"To put it simply, as a member of Shrek Academy, you must know about Doukai and you must own Doukai. The production of battle armor requires rare metals, and the higher the level, the higher the requirements. In fact, the most luxurious mechas are made of high-grade metals. It has a very powerful self-healing ability. If the metal itself has the ability to repair, how powerful is it? There are also many core magic circles that require rare metals to make. The higher the level of the rare metal. , the efficiency of the magic circle will naturally be higher, and the more durable it will be. So think about it, how high-grade rare metals are in short supply?”
“The status of the Federal Blacksmiths Association is even comparable to that of mecha masters. That's why most high-level blacksmiths are under the unified management of the association. The source of high-grade rare metals is monopolized, and it is no longer a matter of price to obtain them at the auction. How can such a large piece of spiritually forged metal not be up for grabs? Look at it, it must be over two million."
Just as An Peijiu was speaking, sure enough, the auction price of Yun Tie on the stage had exceeded two million federal coins.
"Can't the blacksmith sell it himself? Wouldn't that make more money? Why should it be unified into the federation?" Lan Xuanyu asked doubtfully.
An Peijiu said: "Because it is too difficult to train a blacksmith. If a blacksmith wants to reach the level of spiritual forging, he needs to consume countless rare metals. How can ordinary people afford it? ? There needs to be capital support behind it. Therefore, the blacksmiths who can come out are almost all specially trained, and they have signed an agreement, and the items forged in the future can only be sold to investors. Blacksmith, but rare metals are still never enough. Just imagine if we have enough high-level rare metals, we can still build battleships, because now we can't even make mechas. It's far from enough. The mechas that can be made of hundred-forged metal are already high-quality in the purple level. If they are made of thousand-forged metal, they can even reach the black level."
Undoubtedly, what An Peijiu said is very useful to Lan Xuanyu. If a blacksmith wants to improve, he needs a lot of resources, and the resources are naturally rare metals. And I seem to already have such conditions. Therefore, there is no problem in my previous plan to rely on forging to obtain funds in the future.
In the end, this piece of cloud iron was sold at a high price of 2.26 million federal coins. It can be regarded as a small climax of today's auction.
Several more items will be auctioned next. But it never made much of a splash again.
"Next, is our big auction today. We have broadcast the detailed introduction many times, and it is widely spread in the Federation, so I won’t waste time here. Now, let’s invite the deputy master of the Poseidon Pavilion of Shrek Academy, Life The leader and founder of the school, Shu Lao, brought the artifact to meet everyone.”
The whole audience burst into applause. Everyone looked at the stage with wide eyes. The artifact, the artifact is coming out!
An Peijiu also had brilliant eyes, the divine weapon, that was the Silver Dragon Spear!
A green light flashed, and Shu Lao, who had white hair and beard, appeared on the auction stage with a smile.
Seeing Shu Lao, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt cordial. Shu Lao had given him Ruyi of Life, which was of great help to him. This also made Lan Xuanyu naturally have a great affection for the School of Life. .
