In the end, Ye Chen acquired this bloodline crystal for 550,000.
It's hard to say whether this price is a profit or a loss, as it's something that's difficult to price anyway; it's just within his acceptable range.
Having obtained the Bloodline Crystal, Ye Chen did not rush back to his territory to use it. Instead, he waited for the subsequent auction. There were many good items at this auction, and there were still many things he liked to see later.
Besides the bloodline crystal, the group also bid on two other big items: the life essence and the planet's origin, for 350,000 and 80,000 respectively.
The value of the former goes without saying, but it's not very useful for new lords in the trial space. This kind of thing is more meaningful to veteran lords, so although it is rare, it doesn't fetch a high price.
The latter is an item used for territory expansion. It is an upgraded version of the territory foundation and wasteland core. It can stably expand the territory area. Not only is the expanded territory fertile, but it is also controllable.
This planetary origin is not large, only providing Ye Chen with a territory of about two thousand acres, but it is still extremely precious.
Moreover, the greatest function of the planet's origin is not here; its greatest use lies in the development of its subordinate territories. However, their current level is too low, and the matter of subordinate territories is still a long way off.
"With the planet's origin, the territory's area will soon exceed two thousand acres, and then the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree will be able to grow normally!"
"Not only that, but the other life essence can also be used on the third clan nest after we go out. In this way, all three clan nests can complete the first stage of growth, and we can be said to have a foothold outside."
Ye Chen thought with a slight excitement as he carefully put away the two treasures.
With the piles of materials purchased by the fat man, they had almost spent all their working capital on this trip, but the benefits were undoubtedly huge. As long as they could fully convert them into their own power, they would have the confidence to leave the trial space.
As they left the auction house, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were about to prepare to leave the trial space. As for the Dark Origin Land, it was just a matter of taking a trip there.
"Should we go back to the territory or should we find you a room to rest here?" Si Meng asked, looking at the group.
"Let's go back. It's more comfortable living in our own territory, and it's better to keep these things safe!" Before he could even speak, the fat man said impatiently.
“Alright, I won’t keep you any longer. But I should stay here for the night. I’ll come find you first thing tomorrow morning and then we’ll go to the Dark Origin together!” Si Meng nodded and smiled.
After arranging for someone to send them away, Si Meng returned to the lord's manor to continue dealing with the affairs of the Wanwu Tower.
"Ah! I'm finally back! I have to go see my treasures right away!" Upon returning to his territory, the fat man excitedly ran back.
He took a lot of photos of materials on this trip, with a total value of extremely high. Even the rare items on Ye Chen's side, worth millions, were worth less than a quarter of what Fatty had. If it weren't for this, they might have ended up competing for the Void Elf's bloodline crystal.
Unfortunately, this was a high-level race, and the price eventually reached over a million. Ye Chen and the others thought about it and ultimately gave up.
"Then I'll head back first. Michael has advanced, which will probably have some related effects on the other angels. Also, I need to go back and digest the other things first!" After the fat man left, Jian Mengyi said to Ye Chen. She had also taken a lot of pictures and brought them back, so her overall strength should have improved considerably.
"Okay! Go ahead!" Ye Chen nodded.
After seeing everyone off, he finally had time to deal with his own things.
First is the planet's origin. Although it only cost him 80,000 magic crystals, it is very useful to him at present. The key is that it allows him to have enough territory to balance the energy conflict between the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree and the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree.
"Go!" Without hesitation, Ye Chen directly integrated the planet's essence into the territory, and the entire territory began to grow at a visible speed.
"Boom~~~" The rumbling sound underfoot continued to rise, and the land seemed to regenerate, multiplying from one to two, then from two to three... spreading outwards.
This was, after all, a place where lords gathered, and many lords looked at Ye Chen's territory with surprise, their eyes filled with envy at the skyrocketing land prices.
The previous territory of over a thousand acres was already enough to tempt them, but now it has grown again, reaching nearly three thousand acres, which is almost the limit for a low-level lord's territory.
Not only that, the skyrocketing growth of territory has also greatly increased the energy demand of territory facilities such as the Five Elements Cycle Array and the Holy Light Shield. There has even been a brief energy vacuum in the surrounding space, which has made many lords feel uncomfortable. The staff of the Wanwu Tower are even hesitant about whether they should come and drive them away, as this is affecting their business too much.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After all, he was just a new lord and could only draw limited energy. The situation was quickly restored, which was still quite astonishing.
"Next up is the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree!" Looking at the expanded territory around him, Ye Chen thought excitedly. He could now be said to be the lord with the largest territory in the entire trial space.
Holding a bottle of life essence, Ye Chen arrived next to the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree. As the territory continued to expand, the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree gradually shed the shadow cast by the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree and began to grow slowly.
But that's not enough. The expansion of the territory only stopped its decline, but still couldn't provide it with the environment it needed to grow. The energy level difference between the two sides was too great. Even with the Tai Chi diagram to harmonize it, it still couldn't thrive.
Ye Chen looked at it and slowly poured the life essence in his hand down.
"Boom~~~" Suddenly, a series of booming sounds came from the entire territory. The Crimson Sun Wutong Tree, which was only a few meters tall, grew against the wind just like the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree before, and instantly soared to a height of over a hundred meters, becoming a giant tree that could be seen into the sky.
The fiery red sycamore leaves fell, bringing a scorching heat to the entire territory.
However, this was not the end. The Crimson Sun Wutong Tree continued to grow, and soon it could only be described as blotting out the sky. It gradually grew into a huge ancient tree, just like the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree, occupying half of the territory.
Half fiery red and half silver-white, Ye Chen's territory suddenly appeared with two distinct boundaries, both exuding a terrifying aura.
