Chapter 437: Great Destruction! Sacred Beast Soul-Calming Pill! Golden Crow Egg
This auction would feature a total of fifty items.
All of them were presented in the catalog.
Therefore, there was no need for the auctioneer to provide lengthy introductions. Contestants from various nations could simply glance at the information in the catalog to fully understand the items.
"Ancient Thunderwood, S-level enchantment material, originates from a dungeon called 'Thunder Nest,' and can be used to enchant weapons with the 'Thunder Shock' effect."
"Hidden third-tier transfer book for the Mage class, Dark Magic Lord. Originates from a level-90 dungeon 'Dark Basin,' allows a Magic King to transfer to the 'Dark Magic Lord' class."
"Divine Fire Essence, S-level eternal potion, made from the heart of an S+ grade Scorching Flame Dragon, highly beneficial for fire-based magic classes."
"..."
Ling Zhan carefully browsed through all the items listed in the catalog.
But ultimately...
He focused on three items.
They were:
An S+ universal skill book 'Great Destruction.'
Three S-level pills called 'Sacred Beast Soul-Calming Pills.'
An egg of a Golden Crow divine beast.
In reality...
There were more tempting items than the three he chose.
But few were truly suitable for Ling Zhan.
Among the fifty auction items,
Most were high-tier skill books for specific classes,
Or rare, invaluable materials and potions.
As well as spirit-grade weapons, armor, and accessories.
And hidden third-tier class transfer books for various classes.
These were incredibly precious in the eyes of others.
But to Ling Zhan, they weren't all that fitting.
Besides,
Though the Dragon Kingdom had promised to foot the bill for anything he wanted,
Ling Zhan wasn't inconsiderate enough to pick the most expensive things.
It's like when a friend treats you to a meal.
You wouldn't drag them to a VIP restaurant with an average spend of tens of thousands and expect them to pay, would you?
It's worth mentioning...
The Sacred Beast Soul-Calming Pills, as the name suggests, are used to stabilize the souls of divine beasts, so few would be interested in bidding on them.
Ling Zhan intended to bid for these pills in preparation for his three divine beast companions to use before consuming the Beast God Boundary Break Pills.
The S+ universal skill book 'Great Destruction,' on the other hand, was the item Ling Zhan was most keen on.
[Great Destruction (S+): Upon activation, you will inflict a Fear status on all enemy targets within a kilometer radius. For a short time, you will be empowered by Destruction God power, entering the 'Destruction God' state.]
Note:
1. 'Destruction God' state: Your attack range is increased by 500%, your movement speed by 300%, and your lifesteal effect by 200%. Lasts for 60 seconds.
2. During the 'Destruction God' state, if you successfully kill an enemy target, the 'Destruction God' state will extend by another 60 seconds.
3. The Fear caused by this skill cannot be purified or dispelled but can be avoided by invincibility skills.
4. The cooldown of this skill is 5 minutes.
......
This skill would undoubtedly be invaluable in future battlefields.
Lastly...
Was the Golden Crow divine beast egg.
Originally, Ling Zhan had no intention of bidding for it.
But on this Golden Crow egg, there were strange black patterns.
These patterns emitted no aura, but merely looking at them gave a sense of unease.
According to the catalog,
It was said that over 200 years ago, a powerful individual obtained this Golden Crow egg after destroying a crucial laboratory of the Demon Arrival Organization.
For years, this powerful individual tried to hatch the Golden Crow egg, hoping to raise a powerful divine beast loyal only to him.
But he always failed.
Despite sensing the vigorous life force inside, the egg never successfully hatched.
After two centuries of failed attempts, this 100th-level, fourth-tier powerhouse tried all sorts of methods, even consulting many experts on beast pets and divine beasts.
After receiving responses that there was nothing more to be done,
He decided to auction it off today.
The reason Ling Zhan bid on it wasn't because he wanted to hatch it.
It was because he recognized the patterns on the egg!!
These intertwined gold and black runes looked familiar.
He had seen them on the abdomen of the Night Empress, Andrea.
At that time, the Night Empress had grabbed Ling Zhan like a chick,
Giving him the opportunity to use his 'Clothes Exploding Technique.'
As the gold-feathered battle dress crumbled, Ling Zhan had glimpsed the Empress's body.
Fair and tender.
But at the same time, there was a pattern of gold and black runes on her abdomen.
Perhaps it was his first time facing a 100th-level, fourth-tier powerhouse,
But Ling Zhan had been in peak mental condition during the battle.
As a result, he remembered every detail of the fight vividly.
Including the physical features of the Night Empress.
Now, seeing such a similar black-gold rune on this Golden Crow egg,
Ling Zhan's curiosity led him to buy it.
Fortunately, luck was on his side...
At first, some contestants from various countries were eager to bid on the Golden Crow egg.
After all, it was a divine beast egg!
If raised from a young age, one could form a contract of complete obedience!
As mentioned before,
All divine beast species are incredibly proud.
When humans contract with them, it's more of an equal agreement.
Humans cannot command them to do things they don't wish to do.
But raising a divine beast from an egg is different.
You could have complete control.
So, divine beast eggs are especially valuable.
However...
Once the contestants heard about the egg's strange qualities, none of them dared to bid.
If a 100th-level, fourth-tier powerhouse had exhausted all methods and still failed to hatch it, what could they do with it?
Thus, Ling Zhan acquired the Golden Crow egg for a mere 5 million Saint Crystals.
Hmm...
Three items.
The Sacred Beast Soul-Calming Pills and the Golden Crow egg together cost less than 10 million Saint Crystals.
Only the S+ universal skill book, Great Destruction, cost him 300 million Saint Crystals.
When all was said and done...
Ling Zhan really did save his country some money.
Of course, when he was bidding for the Golden Crow egg, his three divine beast companions looked at him with bitter eyes.
As if to say: "We're not enough for you?"
When the auction reached its final stage,
Only the three finale items remained.
The atmosphere in the venue grew tense.
The last three items listed in the catalog had no descriptions, names, or images.
This sparked intense curiosity among the crowd about these mysterious finale items.
At this moment,
The ever-elegant old auctioneer appeared once again on stage.
