After leaving Jin Shangyue's residence, Di Jinhuang left directly and returned to the Star Empire, without even participating in the final day of the auction.
Not only Di Jinhuang, but also the other patriarchs and emperors all left in a hurry.
They came suddenly because of the semi-immortal-grade pill in Jin Shangyue's possession.
Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he naturally needs to hurry back and arrange the use of the semi-immortal-grade elixir.
Besides, the representatives who would participate in the auction had already been arranged. Even if these old guys and those in power left, there were still representatives from various factions present, so it wouldn't affect anything.
Even Ji Beiyao and the other powerful figures from the beginning left overnight.
Jin Shangyue wasn't in a hurry to leave.
Because of her status as a guest elder of the Ninth Assembly, she inquired with Rong Xu about the items to be auctioned on the third day in advance, and Rong Xu told her directly.
Knowing that there would be auctions of resource mines, land, and cities on the third day, she naturally wanted to stay and win them over.
Rong Xujian, who was not interested in any magical artifacts last month but was interested in resource items, informed the representatives of the Nine Associations of this discovery.
The representatives of the Ninth Association were originally thinking about how to cultivate a closer relationship with Jin Shangyue and shorten the distance between them.
The news that Rongxu brought could be considered as giving them a breakthrough.
“She likes mineral resources, huh? That’s easy. We’ll each give her two. Let’s discuss it and make sure there aren’t any duplicates.”
"Aren't two too few? It makes us seem a bit stingy. How about we send five to each of us? Anyway, each of our Nine Associations has plenty of resource mines."
“That’s true, then let’s send five to each family. That’s not a small amount, and it’ll be presentable. But we have to send some of the higher-grade ones.”
...
Watching the elders chatter excitedly, he smiled silently, left quietly, and kept his merits and fame hidden.
On the third day of the auction, Jin Shangyue did not put anything else up for auction.
They did manage to acquire a medium-sized high-grade spirit stone mine and a tiny SS-grade energy mine.
There just so happens that a Heavenly Rank Ice Crystal Core is up for auction.
Jin Shangyue thought of one of Yu Weilan's special abilities, the ice type, and that its level had already reached the peak of the Emperor rank.
Those with supernatural abilities in the Divine Abyss can cultivate and level up using spirit stones and crystal cores.
For ability users of the same level, if they use crystal cores of the same level to improve, they need to absorb at least one hundred crystal cores of the same type to advance to a minor level.
Absorbing one thousand crystal cores of the same type and level will upgrade you to a higher level.
If you absorb a higher-level crystal core of the same type, you can directly increase your level by one major level.
However, only when one is at their peak can they directly absorb crystal cores of a higher level.
For example, a peak fifth-tier ice-type ability user can directly upgrade their ability to the sixth tier by consuming a sixth-tier ice-type crystal core.
However, if a fifth-tier early or mid-tier ability user directly absorbs a sixth-tier crystal core, there will be a great risk involved.
Because they cannot withstand the power within, there is at least a 50% chance that they will explode and die.
Superpowered individuals can only absorb crystal cores of the same type.
For example, ice-type can only absorb ice-type, and fire-type can only absorb fire-type.
The higher the level of a superhuman, the harder it is to improve.
One problem is that crystal cores are too hard to find, and the other is that a lot of spirit stones are required.
For those with supernatural abilities, using spirit stones to improve their cultivation level is far more difficult than using the most suitable crystal core.
A level 12 ability user needs to absorb at least a million high-grade spirit stones to break through and enter the Earth level.
The higher the level, the more spirit stones are needed, and the greater the quantity required.
This is why, in the later stages, the improvement rate for superhumans is very slow and extremely difficult.
Spirit stones are more suitable for spiritual practitioners and ancient martial artists.
Crystal cores can only be used by those with superpowers.
It can also be used as an energy source, serving as fuel for weapons technology.
Moreover, its force is comparable to that of an S-grade energy stone.
Therefore, crystal cores are not only important to people with superpowers, but they are also highly sought after in the market for technological weapons.
There are many people vying for this Heavenly Rank Ice Crystal Core.
After all, a Heavenly-Rank Ice Crystal Core hasn't appeared for over a hundred years.
Jin Shangyue made a fortune this time, so she's financially powerful and calmly raising the price.
In the end, the Heavenly Rank Ice Crystal Core was acquired for a staggering price of 300 million high-grade spirit stones.
Then I took another picture of an abandoned city near the abyss.
Its area is three times larger than the largest of all the cities that Jinshangyue currently owns.
If it were expanded further outwards, it could be used as a state.
This place is located on the edge of the desolate abyss, and the surrounding area is a desolate wasteland with no human habitation for thousands of miles.
It is very suitable for building factories or research bases.
Ji Chaoyun also took pictures of a few items, all of which were rare materials, intending to use them to make weapons for Jin Shangyue to play with.
After the three-day auction ended, Jin Shangyue and Ji Chaoyun went to several districts and bought a batch of slaves.
The day before the two were to leave, the representatives of the Ninth Association came to their door again.
"Moon Lord, we heard you like resource mines, so we sent you some. Take a look at these mines, do you like them? They are just a small token of our Nine Association's appreciation."
In front of Jinshangyue, there were piles of documents and transfer contracts.
There are forty-five mines of various resources.
There are five S-grade energy stone mines and nine A-grade energy stone mines.
There are four high-grade spirit stone mines and eighteen medium-grade spirit stone mines.
Nine S-grade black red ore.
Black ore is an indispensable material for forging weapons, advanced technology products, and more.
It's a material used exclusively by the Star Empire.
