Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting - Chapter 1482: Sky Horse Guardian Gem
Chapter 1482: Chapter 1482: Sky Horse Guardian Gem
Lan Xuanyu did not participate in the bidding afterwards. Many items were quite strange, but none suited him or his companions, so naturally, he wouldn’t make a move lightly.
The auction item was pushed onto the auction stage, surprisingly on what was the smallest cart today.
Li Jingyi didn’t immediately unveil the red cloth on the cart this time. She said, “This auction item is a gemstone. Within our entire federation, such gemstones are exclusive to the Sky Horse Clan. In terms of rarity, though not as high as the level of the Heavenly Crystal Stone, its function, in many aspects, is not inferior to the Heavenly Crystal Stone. I think everyone should know what it is, right?”
The audience immediately started shouting.
“Sky Horse Guardian!”
“Is it the Guardian Gem?”
What is this? Lan Xuanyu felt somewhat confused, but at this moment, three voices simultaneously echoed in his divine consciousness: “It’s worth bidding for!”
Indeed, the three voices said exactly the same thing. Lan Xuanyu, however, didn’t look towards where the voices came from, feeling rather puzzled. What are you guys up to?
Those transmitting messages to him were indeed the Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan, Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang, and his dear brother, Sky Dragon Leader Jiang Weiqiang.
However, considering all three of them suggested bidding, it showed the preciousness of this auction item.
“That’s right, everyone guessed correctly, it is indeed the Sky Horse Guardian Gem.” Li Jingyi said as she unveiled the red cloth.
Under a small protective shield, a gemstone was presented to everyone’s view.
It was a palm-sized gemstone, carved into the shape of a Sky Horse with wings on its back, shimmering with a pale blue halo, very magical.
Li Jingyi said, “From the size, everyone should be able to discern its value. Moreover, it is extremely pure, a rare Sky Horse Guardian Gem without imperfections. This Gem’s characteristic is storage, capable of storing immense energy, and more importantly, the stored energy can exist in a certain ability form. Simply put, it can store an ability of a powerhouse. The stronger the ability, the higher quality the Sky Horse Guardian Gem required for storage. Generally, for a stronger energy, the Sky Horse Clan stores defensive abilities. Attack types are too violent and may cause the Guardian Gem to be unable to bear, or capable of bearing only a little, while defensive capabilities are much more peaceful. And what is stored in this gemstone before you is personally infused with a once of his defensive abilities by our current Sky Horse Sect Leader. This means, possessing this gemstone requires only divine consciousness to activate, you can release a defense of the same level as the Sky Horse Sect Leader. Facing a formidable enemy, it is akin to having another life. Not only you, even I, hope to win this auction item.”
Equivalent to the Sky Horse Sect Leader’s defense once?
Is that possible?
Lan Xuanyu now felt that this world was full of wonders. There is such a gemstone existence. The Sky Horse Clan indeed has deep roots! Bringing out such good stuff for auction. The key is, the Sky Horse Sect Leader is at the top Super God-level strength. This item is useful even to Super God-level powerhouses.
From Li Jingyi’s words, it was clear that this was prepared for God-level and above powerhouses, since it requires divine consciousness to activate. She wasn’t exaggerating, in encounters with strong enemies, saying it’s like another life isn’t far from the truth. No wonder the three Dragon Knights suggested it’s worth purchasing.
Good stuff!
“Starting price, fifty thousand Sky Dragon Crystal Coins. Everyone calculate if your life is worth this value before participating in the bidding. Each increment not less than a thousand Sky Dragon Crystal Coins.”
The bidding started.
Almost instantly, dozens of bids appeared in the auction house.
Top-tier Super God-level powerhouse defense once. This is extremely enticing, the only issue is, it’s a one-time consumable. But that’s enough!
“Sixty-one thousand.”
“Sixty-seven thousand…”
“Seventy-two thousand…”
Prices escalated rapidly, soon approaching the ten-thousand mark. Prior to this, although Lan Xuanyu’s Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword only fetched a low price, it was still the most valuable auction item today. This defense-type Sky Horse Guardian Gem seemed intent on matching the Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword’s price.
Though attractive, Lan Xuanyu felt it seemed a little not worth it. It was approaching the price of an artifact, not worth it somewhat. Yet the powerful individuals of various clans continued to bid tirelessly.
Why are they so passionate? It’s just a one-time consumable!
Lan Xuanyu was puzzled.
He instinctively turned his head to look at Luo Lan, as at this time he definitely wouldn’t look at Zhong Zhichang and Jiang Weiqiang, because asking either of them about it would be inappropriate. Moke Dragon Knight was more suitable!
Luo Lan nodded at ‘her’ again, indicating agreement with the current price.
Suddenly, an insight flashed in Lan Xuanyu’s mind, and he transmitted mentally to Luo Lan, “Lord Luo Lan, is the Sky Horse Guardian Gem’s defense individual or range-based?”
Luo Lan smiled slightly, lips moving silently without sound, but from his mouth shape, Lan Xuanyu already knew the answer.
Instantly, he turned around, raised his bidding sign without hesitation, “One hundred thousand!”
The auction price had just passed eighty-five thousand, bidding speed had slightly reduced. At that price, the whole place fell silent almost instantaneously.
Lan Xuanyu’s feelings were inevitably stirred; this auction was indeed much more thrilling than at the Shrek Auction House before.
Luo Lan’s answer was simple, two words: Group Defense.
Lan Xuanyu realized the issue. Nobody was a fool; so many people willing to spend such a huge price to auction a one-time consumable meant it had equivalent value.
Once of group defense at the Sky Horse Sect Leader level was a completely different tier of significance than individual defense. Lan Xuanyu had no more hesitation, immediately announcing the price.
“One hundred thousand, any more? One hundred thousand first time.” Li Jingyi saw bidding from the Dragon Clan box, and sped up immediately.
However, the Sky Horse Guardian Gem’s attraction was too great. As soon as she said the first time, a bid instantly reappeared.
“One hundred thousand one hundred!”
“One hundred and ten thousand!” Lan Xuanyu without hesitation jumped up by another ten thousand. Exhibiting a determination to obtain the item.
No more bids appeared, partly because the price was very high already, another reason being the bid came from the Dragon Clan box. This auction was held on Sky Dragon Planet, nobody wished to offend the Dragon Clan. Furthermore, after all, it wasn’t an artifact level existence.
“One hundred ten thousand first time, one hundred ten thousand second time, one hundred ten thousand, third time, bang!”
“Sold!”
Lan Xuanyu successfully acquired this auction item.
This is indeed a good item! The Sky Horse Guardian Gem, not only usable for oneself, but also usable for partners, most importantly, group defense. In times of war, if encountering a powerful enemy or extremely fearsome attack, this item’s role becomes significant.
But, be cautious when using it, who knows if the divine consciousness of the Sky Horse Sect Leader is attached to it.
Just then, a sound transmission suddenly reached Lan Xuanyu’s ears, “Lan, have you broken through to God-level yet?”
Upon hearing this voice, Lan Xuanyu was slightly stunned, divine consciousness locked downward, he immediately found the sound’s source, which was indeed from the Sky Horse Clan’s box, and he instantly recognized the voice’s owner, none other than the Sky Horse Clan’s Young Master Li Menglong.
“Brother Li, long time no see, yes, after I returned last time, through a period of retreat, I broke through.” Lan Xuanyu replied.
