"What's wrong? Why are you so startled? This is so unlike your usual calm and collected demeanor!" Ning Yanlan asked, puzzled by Jiang Yuan's actions.
"It's alright, it's alright!"
Jiang Yuan quickly shook his head and activated his Heavenly Eye to appraise the two items he had just obtained.
Divine Plant Symphony, Rank: Unlimited, Quality: Legendary.
Note: Although it is not a divinely chosen skill, it still possesses unparalleled power.
Just as Tianyan Intelligence said, the Divine Plant Melody has been weakened to the point that Ning Yanlan can use it. Although it lacks great potential, it is at least a skill of the same rank as the Divine Battle. In fact, because of its unlimited rank, the Divine Plant Melody is even better than the Divine Battle.
Then there's the most important item this time, the Chosen One, which was obtained from the same core as the Heavenly Eye.
Lucky Dice (Chosen One): One of the five pieces of the Goddess of Luck set, it comes with the attribute of luck.
Note: Has a dust-sealing effect (all Chosen Weapons are downgraded by one level)!
Lucky Dice, Quality: Mythical. When you roll the dice, you will gain a luck power equal to a multiple of the roll. Cooldown: Rolls reset to zero.
Passive skill - Luck: When the throw reaches its highest point, you will gain a wish.
Jiang Yuan read the information about the Lucky Dice several times. It was a skill without any data attributes. Forget about adding physical or spiritual energy; it was just mysterious!
Take the cooldown time for example. It resets to zero, meaning the higher the number rolled, the longer the cooldown time for the lucky dice.
Just now, he used the lucky dice once, and the number reached the highest value of five. If I'm not mistaken, then his last wish power was used on that Supreme Core.
However, he didn't think much of the lucky dice, because if the Heavenly Eye hadn't used its power to keep the Supreme Core in place for a while, the power of wishing wouldn't have been able to snatch food from the Supreme Core's mouth.
"What is this?"
While Jiang Yuan was making his appraisal, Ning Yanlan's gaze fell on the lucky dice. Even without her Eye of Insight, she could sense the peculiarity of this item, so her first question was about the lucky dice, not the Divine Plant Melody.
"Do you like it? Here you go!" Jiang Yuan handed over the golden lucky dice.
"You're giving a woman dice? Are you trying to train me to be a gambling god?!" Ning Yanlan covered her mouth and laughed.
Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered that this was a Chosen Artifact, which could not be used by anyone other than the Chosen One. Moreover, it was directly bound to the soul. If the original owner died, the Chosen Artifact would be sealed away again, which meant it would be downgraded until it reached the lowest level.
He took out the weakened version of the Divine Plant Symphony, "Let's try this!"
"This is quite beautiful!" Ning Yanlan chose the Divine Plant Melody, a skill ball containing green musical notes, which looked like a finely crafted work of art, and was much better than the Lucky Dice.
"Don't you like growing flowers and plants? This thing can make you extremely talented in that area!" Jiang Yuan briefly explained the function of the Divine Plant Melody.
"Really?"
Ning Yanlan exclaimed in surprise, holding the skill ball even tighter.
"Use it, I'll protect you!"
...
"Gentlemen, the Second Miss has prepared seats for you!"
Standing before Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan was an old butler, who was respectfully waiting for them to take their seats.
"Today's auction is unusually lively, but I wonder which formidable competitors are out there!" Jiang Yuan said arrogantly, his tone tinged with disdain.
"Because the auction was postponed due to the suddenness of the event, many people chose to come to the trading area to relax after yesterday's fierce battle!" the old butler explained with a smile.
Aside from the invitations issued by the auction, anyone wishing to enter the trade fair must pay a large amount of Holy Spirit Stones as an entry fee. Of course, those with the means will not be stingy with these Holy Spirit Stones.
"This mixed bag of people lowers the quality of the auction house!" Jiang Yuan glanced disdainfully at the venue.
The old butler gave an awkward smile. He had learned from his second young lady that the apostle of the oath was a very good-tempered person, but now he saw that he was not like that at all. He could only sigh that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." This arrogant fellow could actually receive praise from the second young lady. He couldn't understand it either.
"Which factions are those?" Jiang Yuan looked in one direction, where people like them were sitting in the VIP seats.
The entire auction venue was a very large auditorium, and there were only a few prominent positions that were close to the auction stage.
"Oh, you mean the group of people in white?" The old butler pointed to a group of people who were a little closer to them.
"right!"
“They are from the Ji family!” the old butler said softly.
"The Ji family? But I've met the Ji family head and the eldest young master, and they're not here either!" Jiang Yuan looked intently, but neither Ji Xing'an nor Ji Jinghui were present.
"You're referring to the main branch of the Ji family. The person who came today is the head of a branch of the Ji family, who is also the cousin of the head of the Ji family!" The old steward seemed to know a lot about the Ji family.
Jiang Yuan also saw the couple he had met yesterday. The boy and girl were sitting in seats slightly towards the back, but what puzzled him was that no one was sitting in the seats reserved for the Ji family's specially invited VIPs.
"Who did the Ji family invite this time?" Jiang Yuan suddenly asked.
"I haven't really inquired about him, but I've heard he's a powerful figure!" The old steward smiled apologetically.
"That must be the Shen family's!" Jiang Yuan glanced discreetly at a spot further away, where a group of people were also standing, including Shen Lixuan, whom Jiang Yuan recognized.
“Yes!” A hint of relaxation appeared on the old butler’s wrinkled face. He said, “I don’t know the people the Ji family invited, but I do know a little about the Shen family.”
"Oh, you knew even though this person hasn't shown up yet?" Jiang Yuan seemed quite interested in these mysterious people.
“After all, he’s a prominent figure in Nancheng. Usually, when he appears, we, the powerful, already know who he is!” The old steward nodded.
However, before the old butler could even begin his introduction, the entire venue suddenly fell silent, followed by the crisp clatter of high heels hitting the floor.
"It's her!" A surge of anger welled up in Ning Yanlan's eyes.
Jiang Yuan keenly noticed Ning Yanlan's unusual behavior. He grabbed Ning Yanlan's hand and asked telepathically, "What's wrong?"
Ning Yanlan remained silent, seemingly suppressing her inner impulses.
"This person is the second-in-command of the Southern City warlords—Commander Yin Cha. It is rumored that she and the warlord are half-siblings!" The old steward rarely gossiped, but after seeing that Ning Yanlan's aura was off, he wisely remained silent.
"This person isn't the friend you said you were going to save, is she?" Jiang Yuan remembered that Ning Yanlan had repeatedly said she was going to save her friend after getting the USB drive, and then she was betrayed by this so-called friend. Considering Ning Yanlan's current emotions, this person is most likely the woman in front of him.
"Yin Cha!" Ning Yanlan suppressed her anger and said coldly, "This woman is no simpleton. She is not only Sima Sheng's half-sister, but the two also have an improper relationship!"
