Chapter 11 The battlefield of all races! Chapter 41: The Treasure Storm!
“This time, I made a lot of money!”
Chu Zhou happily collected the fragments of the Origin Divine Tree and returned to VIP Room No. 5.
Could it be that the piece of debris just now is really of astonishing value?
Long and the other six people saw the joy that Chu Zhou couldn't hide on his face, and they all made the same guess.
However, this is Chu Zhou's secret.
Since Chu Zhou didn't say anything, they didn't ask any further questions.
Their attention quickly returned to the auction.
Next, dozens of auctions were held.
However, Chu Zhou was not interested in any of the items being auctioned, so he did not bid.
"Everyone, the next item is the finale of our auction."
The beautiful host's voice suddenly became excited.
Everyone's attention was focused instantly.
At this time, a staff member came up with a tray dragging a mysterious parchment.
"The so-called finale item is a piece of parchment?"
"Could it be that the parchment contains a unique martial art?"
"Is there any secret in the parchment?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the parchment on the tray.
Some people even wanted to use their divine sense to carefully observe the eyelid paper.
but.
The tray contained a strange power that blocked the prying divine thoughts.
"Everyone, you can see this is a piece of parchment." The beautiful host pointed at the parchment on the tray and said to everyone, "This mysterious piece of parchment was entrusted to us for auction by a distinguished guest of a very special status."
"What secrets are contained in the parchment that it can be used as the finale item?"
Some creatures couldn't help but ask.
The beautiful host smiled and said:
"We actually don't know what secrets are on the parchment!"
Everyone was shocked.
You don't know the secret and value of the parchment, yet you dare to auction it as the finale item?
Are you kidding us?
Many living beings looked at the beautiful host with unfriendly eyes.
Chu Zhou and others also frowned.
The beautiful host, seeing the reactions of the crowd, remained calm, smiled gently, and said calmly:
"Everyone, rest assured. Although we don't know the secret of the parchment... but after the appraisal by our auction's treasure appraiser, this parchment is not ordinary parchment. It is A9 grade material."
“I believe everyone is aware of the value of A9 grade materials.”
A9 grade material?
Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard this.
Grade A materials, also known as royal grade materials, can be used to refine royal grade weapons and armor.
A9 grade material is the best among A grade materials.
Even for the king of the universe, it is very difficult to collect A9-level materials.
Therefore, the value of A9 grade materials is amazing.
In fact, the market price is much higher than that of a medium-level royal weapon.
At this moment, everyone finally understood why Canglan Auction dared to auction the parchment as the finale item without knowing the secret of the parchment.
The parchment itself is worthy of being the finale item.
"Tsk tsk, that parchment is actually A9 grade material... If there is really a secret in it, I'm afraid that secret is very shocking!"
Thor exclaimed in amazement, looking at the parchment with shining eyes.
"What a pity! If I want to auction this parchment, the price will probably be staggering... I don't think I have enough wealth."
Chu Zhou sighed with a slight regret.
After buying the 'Star Sinking Gold' and the 'Fragment of the Origin Divine Tree', the wealth he had gained from killing those powerful alien warriors in the Ancient City of the Gods was almost used up.
It is probably unlikely that I will be able to buy the finale item, parchment.
Zuo Yue, Bing Selin, Xi Liujin, Long, Chanka Posha and others also showed a trace of regret on their faces.
In the more than one year that they followed Chu Zhou, they actually gained a lot of wealth.
But if he wanted to buy parchment that was at least worth a mid-level royal weapon, it was obviously still a long way to go.
At the auction stage, the beautiful host glanced at the audience, and seeing everyone's highly concerned gazes, she nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone, this parchment is covered with a layer of sealing power. Our treasure appraiser has studied it and found that it is not difficult to break this layer of sealing power. The master of the realm can do it."
"However, in order to prevent the secret of the parchment from being leaked and to maintain the value of the parchment, we did not break this seal."
"But whoever buries the parchment can break the seal himself and learn the secret."
The beautiful host's words caused an uproar among the crowd.
It turns out that parchment really does hold a secret.
Moreover, as long as one's strength reaches the realm master level, one can break the seal and learn the secrets.
At this moment, many people's eyes became hot.
"Okay, now I'm going to announce the starting price for this piece of parchment..." After the beautiful host had whetted everyone's appetite, she announced, "...The starting price is 10 high-level Venerable weapons!"
Everyone: “…”
Everyone was stunned when they heard the price.
Chu Zhou and others were also speechless.
In the ocean of the universe, there are all kinds of living beings in the universe, and each race basically has its own currency system.
The currencies of many races are not circulated among each other.
Therefore, in the universe, weapons are usually used as a unit of currency.
1 high-level Venerable weapon = 10 medium-level Venerable weapons = 100 primary Venerable weapons.
1 piece of primary princely weapon = 100 pieces of high-level venerable weapons.
1 high-level princely weapon = 10 medium-level princely weapons = 100 primary princely weapons.
…
And so on.
This is roughly the monetary system in the universe.
Other treasures can also be converted into weapons according to their value.
This special currency system that uses weapons as the currency unit has been operating in the universe for countless years and has become very mature.
Therefore, the starting price of the parchment is 10 high-level Exalted weapons, which is equivalent to 1,000 low-level Exalted weapons.
The people in the auction house are basically realm masters and venerables...
Not many people are wealthy enough to own 1,000 primary-level venerable weapons.
Therefore, everyone fell silent when they heard the auction price of the parchment.
It’s not that everyone thinks the starting price is expensive…
On the contrary, the starting price is already very low.
The A9-grade parchment alone is worth at least one mid-level royal weapon, or 100,000 primary-level venerable weapons.
The starting price is only 1,000 pieces of primary venerable weapons, which is basically a "charity".
However, the world masters and venerables present at the scene... are all too poor.
"Hey... 1,000 primary venerable weapons, where can we afford them?"
"Yeah, it's too expensive!"
“No, we are poor!”
In VIP room No. 5, Long and six others sighed.
Chu Zhou stared at the parchment, thoughtfully.
1,000 pieces of primary venerable weapons... he could afford it.
His small Samsara Disk is a medium-level royal weapon.
At least 100,000 pieces of primary venerable weapons are worth it.
Coupled with the special nature of the Small Samsara Disk, its value can at least reach 1 million primary Venerable weapons.
However, the small reincarnation disk is used in conjunction with the "Reincarnation Sutra" and the laws of reincarnation. He would have to be crazy to use it as currency.
now……
He was thinking about another problem.
Since Canglan Auction knew the value of the parchment, why didn't it advertise it widely and invite the kings and princes of the Universe Sea to participate in this auction?
You know, those who come to participate in the auction today are basically world masters and venerables.
With all this wealth, it is very difficult to reach 1,000 primary Venerable weapons.
At the scene, except for him, the Demonic Sunflower Venerable Daphne, the Dark Venerable Anjigude and a few others, whose wealth may reach 1,000 primary Venerable weapons, it is difficult for others to reach this standard.
There is no way that Canglan Auction House is unaware of this situation.
However, Canglan Auction, knowing this situation, still held the auction 'as usual'... This is quite interesting.
“Ahem…”
The beautiful host coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the venue and attracting everyone's attention to herself again.
"I know that the auction price of the parchment is a bit high for everyone."
Many creatures in the meeting hall rolled their eyes.
Are you too high?
You are so high.
Or... you think too highly of our wealth.
"In fact, our Canglan Auction was originally planning to invite some kings and princes from the Universe Sea to participate in this auction."
"It's just that the distinguished guest who commissioned the auction of the parchment said that he wanted to give some opportunities to everyone present, so there was no need to specially invite those princes to come to participate in the auction... Therefore, no princes came to this auction."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise on their faces.
There is such a "saint" in the ocean of the universe?
Everyone was skeptical.
However, no matter what the distinguished guest was thinking, many people had to thank him for giving everyone a chance to bid.
If there were any cosmic kings and princes here today, these world masters and venerables probably wouldn't have any qualifications to participate in the auction.
Even the poorest cosmic king has a wealth that is far beyond the reach of the world masters and venerables.
The beautiful host continued, "That distinguished guest also took everyone's wealth into consideration... Therefore, he said that he would allow multiple people to pool their money to buy the parchment... Of course, he would not be responsible for how the parchment would be handled after purchase, and would not take any responsibility."
Hearing the beautiful host's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
If that's the case, it doesn't seem impossible.
1,000 pieces of primary venerable weapons. Although the price is still very high...but if those who came to the auction today united, it is not impossible to buy them.
The question is, even after buying the parchment, what should you do with it?
Everyone suddenly became distressed.
The parchment in front of him was worth at least 100,000 primary-level Venerable weapons. If he could buy it with 1,000 primary-level Venerable weapons, it would undoubtedly be a big profit.
And such an opportunity...is rare in the history, and I am afraid it will be difficult to encounter it again in the future.
Furthermore, there may be shocking secrets hidden in the parchment...
Who knows, maybe there is a domineering or even saintly level of unique martial arts hidden in it.
Or maybe it hides other secrets of incredible value.
Thinking of this, many people are reluctant to give up even though they know that there are many uncertainties and hidden dangers in raising funds to purchase parchment.
"How about this?" Suddenly, a venerable in the auction hall said, "Let's all pool our money to buy the parchment, crack the seal first, and see what secrets are inside. If there are any secrets, we can share them together..."
"If there are no secrets, we will resell them and distribute the proceeds to everyone according to their investment ratio."
"Of course, in order to prevent disputes and accidents, all investors must sign a soul contract."
In the venue, the eyes of many creatures lit up.
"This is a good idea! Since we can share the secrets in the parchment... we can also guarantee basic profits. Even if there are no secrets in the parchment, we can still make a lot of money after selling it..."
Many creatures spoke excitedly.
In VIP room No. 5, Chu Zhou looked at the many excited creatures in the auction venue, with an amused look on his face.
No matter how you look at it, this seems like a setup.
"Something is wrong! It seems like someone is setting up a trap."
"There is no doubt that this is a setup... However, even if many people know that this is a setup, they are still hoping for the best."
"Yes! That parchment is at least A9 grade material, it can't be fake..."
Long and others also noticed that something was wrong and sighed.
There are many smart people.
Chu Zhou and his friends were not the only ones who saw that the parchment might contain a conspiracy.
However, many people still couldn't bear to give up the opportunity to buy parchment.
Soon, many beings in the venue signed soul contracts and completed fundraising, auctioning the parchment at the price of 10,000 primary Venerable weapons.
Chu Zhou and others naturally did not participate.
Those creatures who jointly bought the parchment left Canglan Auction immediately after obtaining the parchment.
"let's go!"
Chu Zhou and others also left the Canglan Auction.
They quickly found a hotel in Canglan City to stay in.
Canglan City is so huge and extremely prosperous. Many races in the universe live here and have opened shops with different styles and characteristics.
Chu Zhou and others planned to rest here for three or four days to gain some experience.
However, on this day, a shocking piece of news, like a storm, quickly swept across the entire Canglan City, then swept across the Wanxing Islands, and then quickly swept to other sea areas.
It turned out that those creatures who raised money to buy the parchment, after breaking the seal of the parchment, discovered that the parchment contained information about the whereabouts of an ownerless treasure.
Only a weapon of at least the Overlord level can be called a treasure.
The parchment actually recorded the whereabouts of an ownerless treasure... This made the creatures who learned the secret go crazy.
The higher the tier of a weapon, the more powerful it is and the rarer it is.
Venerable-level weapons are basically not in short supply for Venerable-level strongmen.
Generally, every Venerable has two or three Venerable-level weapons.
However, royal-level weapons are completely different.
Materials of grade A or above that can be used to refine royal-level weapons are too rare and too difficult to collect.
Many newly-promoted princes and nobles, in order to forge their own exclusive weapons, usually spend all their assets to buy all the materials for forging the weapons, and it takes tens of thousands or even millions of years to collect the materials.
Therefore, generally speaking, the kings of the universe usually only have one king-level weapon.
It is already so difficult to refine king-level weapons, and it is even more difficult to refine overlord-level weapons.
If the kings and princes of the universe can basically guarantee one king-level weapon per person... then for the overlords of the universe, it may not be possible for each person to have one overlord-level weapon.
Many cosmic overlords, after being promoted to overlords, continue to use royal-level weapons for billions of years.
Usually, it takes an extremely long time to collect enough materials for refining overlord-level weapons bit by bit before you have the opportunity to refine your own overlord-level weapons.
Therefore, there are fewer overlord-level weapons than there are cosmic overlords in the universe.
Weapons above the Overlord level are called treasures.
Not only are the number of treasures far rarer than other weapons, their power is also beyond the reach of other weapons.
Therefore, whenever an ownerless treasure comes into the world, it will cause extremely terrifying bloody storms and even lead to war.
The parchment actually recorded the whereabouts of an ownerless treasure... How could those creatures who saw the secret not go crazy?
"The group of creatures who jointly bought the parchment, after learning the secret in the parchment, all tore their faces apart on the spot... Many creatures, regardless of the backlash of the soul contract and the rules of the Ten Thousand Star Islands, fought each other on the spot to fight for the parchment. I heard that the parchment has now been torn into dozens of pieces, and each one is in the hands of different people..."
"Too crazy. I heard that in this battle, twenty venerables died, and more than two hundred world masters..."
"This is just the eve of the storm. Look... the news has spread. The strong men from other places will definitely flock here... I guess even the kings of the universe can't sit still."
In the hotel, Long, Thor, Chanka Posa, Zuo Yue, Bing Serin, Xi Liujin and others were all talking about the shocking news they had just heard.
Chu Zhou stood in front of the window and looked out. He could clearly see that fierce battles were breaking out in many places in Canglan City. The rolling beasts in Canglan City were now busy suppressing the unrest and maintaining order.
"This is obviously a setup? Who designed this setup and what is his purpose?"
Chu Zhou thought so in his heart.
This game is not complicated, and it can even be said that the design is rough and simple.
But...it's very practical.
Treasures are touching.
What’s more, it is a treasure.
He thought of another question...the news about the treasure was very likely true.
Those venerables and realm masters are not stupid. If the news is false, they will definitely not be fooled.
The fact that they could engage in such a bloody fight meant that the information about the treasure on the parchment must be true.
"If the news about the treasure is true... should I get involved?"
Chu Zhou suddenly felt moved.
This is a treasure.
Even the overlord of the universe can't have one for everyone.
If he could get a treasure, he would make a fortune.
"As expected, treasures can really move people's hearts. Even though I know this is a trap, I am still tempted... let alone those creatures who don't know this is a trap?"
Chu Zhou took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his inner restlessness.
He decided to wait and see the situation first.
