"This is good stuff!" Ye Chen exclaimed.
The moment the Sword of Radiance appeared, Jian Mengyi's gaze was drawn to it. It was a divine artifact of the light element, something that could be said to have been prepared just for her.
"So? Do you like this sword?" Si Meng teased, lifting Jian Mengyi's fair chin.
"Get out of here! You guys actually managed to get your hands on something like this!" Jian Mengyi exclaimed, slapping her hand away. Artifacts are hard to come by, let alone light-element artifacts.
"Hehe! I have to get my little darling what she needs, right? Come on! Give me a kiss!" Si Meng said, pouting as she kissed him. Jian Mengyi didn't shy away and gave him a light peck, which made Ye Chen frown.
"A divine artifact, I remember it was auctioned off outside, and it was basically calculated in hundreds of millions of merits, right?" Ye Chen said with a frown.
There is no concept of magic crystals in the outside world, only merit points. One point of merit is equivalent to one Tier 1 magic crystal. One hundred million points of merit are basically equivalent to one hundred thousand Tier 4 magic crystals. This value is not low. In fact, the value of merit points is actually higher than the value of the corresponding magic crystals.
"What? You're reluctant to part with it? It's just a mere 100,000 Tier 4 magic crystals. You guys took a million Tier 4 magic crystals this morning!" Si Meng asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, it's just an estimate!" Ye Chen shrugged. How could he agree to such a deadly question? Besides, tens of thousands of fourth-tier magic crystals were indeed within his reach.
"This radiant sword contains immense divine power. Our Myriad Things Pavilion has already tested it. If it is used as a legacy stele, it is roughly equivalent to the highest-grade legacy stele. If it is used as a weapon, it is at least equivalent to a peak seventh-tier weapon. It can be said to be extremely cost-effective."
"Without further ado, let's begin the auction! The starting price is 10,000 Tier 4 Magic Crystals!"
These words immediately caused an uproar. Ten thousand Tier 4 magic crystals—let alone ordinary lords, even many prodigies could only look on in despair. This was a price that ordinary people could not afford.
But for those truly wealthy lords, this should be the auction price for a genuine divine artifact, not to mention that the Sea God exists as the highest-grade inheritance stele.
In no time at all, before even the shocked lords could recover, the Radiant Sword, which started at 10,000 Tier 4 magic crystals, had already been auctioned off for over 100,000, and the price was still going up.
"Holy crap! 110,000! Sorry, poverty limits my imagination. I can't even come up with 1,000 Tier 4 magic crystals!" Many lords lamented. If they couldn't kill Tier 4 dark creatures, their safety in the trial space would be in question, let alone making money.
"Don't even mention a thousand, I can't even come up with eleven, let alone enough to cover the ten thousand!"
"Me too. These genius lords are terrifying. We all entered the trial space at the same level, so why are you all so outstanding?"
"Bullshit, I'm also a Heavenly Pride Lord, and I can't even come up with tens of thousands of Tier 4 magic crystals. These people are just freaks."
"Tsk, brother, I didn't realize that. I'm sorry to have troubled you~~~"
"Stop talking. The initial family members are all dependent on fate. Just be a lord's porter! At least it's much better than being an ordinary person."
"That's true..."
Many lords lamented, but this did not affect the bidding for the Radiant Sword at all. It eventually came to a halt after reaching 150,000 fourth-tier magic crystals.
Qiu Yu glanced at Ye Chen and the others' private room with a puzzled look, but said nothing. Instead, she started the countdown as usual. However, just as the price was about to be set, Ye Chen's voice finally came from the private room.
"Two hundred thousand!" Ye Chen said calmly, but Jian Mengyi's expression changed slightly. This price, if they hadn't made a fortune in the arena, would probably be all the working capital they had.
"Ye Chen, it's too expensive!" Jian Mengyi said anxiously, trying to stop Ye Chen from bidding further, but saw him shake his head.
“Money is meant to be used. A truly powerful lord isn’t made by saving money, but by spending it relentlessly, utilizing every available resource, arming himself to the teeth, and acquiring the strongest power. Only in this way can he create greater wealth and even defeat the darkness!” Ye Chen said calmly, which caused the others to fall into a brief silence.
At this point, perhaps the offer of 200,000 was indeed too high, and after a moment's hesitation, the lord ultimately chose to give up.
The fact that a divine artifact fetched a sky-high price of 200,000 shocked everyone present. Some ordinary lords suddenly realized that their visit today might just be to broaden their horizons, and that truly valuable things were beyond their reach.
A radiant sword was brought into the private room, and both Jian Mengyi and Michael were startled. Possessing the aura of light, they could clearly feel the holy energy within the radiant sword, as well as a radiant inheritance different from that of the Holy Court of Light.
"Thank you!" Jian Mengyi said to everyone, took the sword, and handed it to Michael.
This is her strongest archangel, who now possesses the strength of the mid-stage of the fourth rank. When she held this radiant sword in her hand, her aura immediately surged, and a holy aura resonated throughout the entire private room.
Fortunately, the rooms here are specially designed and will not affect other people, but the sudden increase in power still shocked everyone else.
At the very center, Archangel Michael hovered in the center of the box, his enormous wings gently fluttering, scattering endless radiance.
"Look behind him!" the fat man suddenly said, pointing behind Michael.
Beneath the original pair of wings, another pair of luminous wings appeared. Although they were not yet fully grown, everyone knew that he was about to advance, progressing from a two-winged angel to a four-winged angel. In the angel race, this was a qualitative change in the power he held.
"His level has changed. He was just an angel before, but now he has become a four-winged angel. He has directly skipped the third stage of growth and reached the strength of the fifth rank!" Jian Mengyi exclaimed in amazement as she looked at Michael's attributes. Just by holding the Sword of Radiance, he directly made an angel grow to the fifth rank. If the other lords outside knew about this, they would probably regret it to death.
“It seems that after Oros, our strongest combat force should be Michael, the first Tier 5 unit!” Ye Chen said with a hint of shock, unable to even look him in the eye.
A dazzling light shone throughout the room. If it weren't for the relatively mild temperature, he would have wondered if he had brought the Three-Legged Golden Crow into the room.
P.S.: The National Day holiday is halfway over, let's all chat about how we all had a great time.
