One million Eastern Alliance dollars was not a small sum.
It was enough to buy a grade C or even grade B energy gem.
Who would use such a high price to make an attempt?
The auctioneer's expression did not change. She asked a few more times, but still no one made a bid.
She could not help but sigh inwardly.
Regarding this piece of strange metal, there had been disagreement before. The metal itself was tough, but its composition could not be analyzed.
At the same time, it had an energy amplification effect.
Plus, it was very beautiful.
There should be no shortage of bidders.
Especially the female bidders, who should like this metal that was as beautiful as jewelry.
However, judging from the current situation, their estimations were obviously off.
None of the female bidders had any intention of bidding. Some of them even turned their heads away and didn't even look at the strange metal on the stage.
In fact, the most important reason for the problem was the life characteristics of this piece of metal.
If this was a normal piece of metal, with its beauty and mysterious origins, it might have been able to move the hearts of the women who liked beautiful things.
But its wriggling characteristic was enough to strike fear into the hearts of women!
Who could be sure that an unknown lifeform would have a good effect?
What if it had a bad effect?
Plus, the monster mutation on Planet Taihua not long ago had made the Eastern Alliance even more wary and fearful of unknown lifeforms.
That was why the metal was so unpopular.
The auctioneer's face grew darker and darker. Could it be that this would be the first item of the day that would not be sold?
Just then, a number was raised. "One million.
VIP Number 570 bids one million Eastern Alliance dollars. "The auctioneer was overjoyed.
Her excellent professionalism allowed her to call out the price immediately.
Then, with an excited voice, she asked, "Anyone else? This is the only rare metal in the three Major League Leagues. If you miss this chance, you won't get it again.
Are there any higher bids? "
Lan Jue, who was sitting below the stage, slowly lowered her number.
Yes, number 570. That was his number.
Xiu Xiu and Lin Guo-guo looked at each other, a hint of surprise in their eyes.
But none of them said anything.
No matter what decision Lan Jue made, they would support her unconditionally.
A trace of surprise flashed in Su He's eyes, but he maintained his composure.
This was an auction. Who knew if the bidders next to them were paying attention to them? If they were not careful, the auction price might be affected.
The facts proved that the bidders who came to participate in this auction were sufficiently rational.
After the female auctioneer asked for nearly a minute, no one was willing to raise the price.
"Third time, deal!" The hammer fell and the deal was done.
That strange metal with life belonged to Lan Jue.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lan Jue's mouth.
At the same time, a thin blue thread quietly returned to his body from ten centimeters below the ground.
Blending in was gone.
One million Eastern Alliance coins was not a small sum. Naturally, Lan Jue would not take it out so easily.
He was not a fool.
Just now, when the female auctioneer was panicking, he used his Electricity Transformation ability to drill a thin blue electric wire under the stage in front of him without alerting anyone. Although he didn't really come into contact with the piece of metal, he could feel the energy waves emitted by the piece of metal at a close distance.
The reason why rare metals were not as valuable as power gems was because power gems contained a large amount of energy. Rare metals only had their own characteristics, but they rarely contained energy.
But this piece of rare metal gave Lan Jue a different feeling.
He sensed a slight energy fluctuation from this piece of rare metal.
But that did not mean it was precious.
However, when its electric wire approached the metal from the bottom of the cart, it actually trembled violently.
Electric field!
That was Lan Jue's first thought.
There was a strange electric field on this piece of rare metal.
He had to take it seriously.
His own abilities were thunder and lightning. Although it was rare for an ability user to have two attributes, it was not unheard of.
There was a one in a hundred chance an Adept with a fifth level Talent or higher would have two Disciplines.
But the reason Lan Jue was so strong was because his two Disciplines complemented each other.
This piece of rare metal, with its electric field, gave him a strange feeling.
It was as if this piece of metal belonged to him, and was calling out to him.
That was why he bid without hesitation.
Although he wasn't completely sure, a million Eastern Alliance coins was worth the gamble.
Differences in experience lead to differences in vision.
Lan Jue had met many Paragons, and he knew they all had their own unique weapons.
They called them protogenia. They could greatly enhance a Paragon's strength, and allow them to unleash their full potential.
However, in order to obtain a protogenia, one had to find a weapon that was compatible with one's Discipline.
The Wine Master's Cosmagus Scepter, for example, had cost him a great deal of effort to obtain.
Many Paragons' titles were in fact their protogenia.
It was their ability to control protogenia.
A million Eastern Alliance coins for a chance to craft a protogenia weapon. Lan Jue thought it was worth it.
The auctioneer on stage didn't think so.
She breathed a sigh of relief when the item was finally sold.
An unsold item was a bad record for an auctioneer.
Although the price hadn't met expectations, the piece of metal had already undergone a variety of tests. Although it showed some characteristics, they weren't enough to attract anyone.
Selling it was a good thing.
"Next up, our final item of the day, a rare metal.
Honored guests, are you ready? "
As soon as he said that, all the bidders in the auction hall became spirited.
Sure enough, the next item was a rare and precious one. It went for a whopping six million Eastern Alliance coins, even higher than the pyroxene.
However, this time Lan Jue didn't make a bid.
Even the next item, which would go for nine million, was the same.
It wasn't that he wasn't tempted, but these two metals weren't of much use to him. Besides, his more important goal was yet to come.
After a while, the auction of the two rare metals, the finale and the main axle, was completed.
The crowd's excitement was at its peak.
However, the auctioneer seemed to have mastered the art of moderation, and announced a temporary adjournment. Because there were too many items up for auction, the items that had already been sold could now be traded directly with the auctioneer.
Su He, who was at Lan Jue's side, spoke up. "Senior, I'll go pay the bill and finish the deal."
Su He was surprised. "There's no need to rush, it's fine to wait until the auction is over.
We still have to attend the next auction, it'll be inconvenient to carry too many items. "
Lan Jue smiled. "It's fine, I'm just going out for some fresh air." He rose to his feet and left.
Lin Guo-guo and Xiu Xiu followed.
The two girls followed close behind Lan Jue.
Although they didn't say anything, they couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Based on their understanding of Lan Jue, their boss wasn't an impatient person, unless there was something that he valued very much.
Especially Xiu Xiu, she clearly caught a flash of excitement in Lan Jue's eyes. Although she controlled her expression well, she hadn't seen that look in Lan Jue's eyes for a very, very long time.
Items that were worth more than one million Eastern Alliance dollars would have special receptionists in charge of the transaction.
Soon, under the guidance of the receptionists, Lan Jue and the two girls paid for all the items they had previously auctioned and left the rest of the items with the organizers. They also left the hotel address and asked them to send them over.
Only the last piece of rare metal was asked for by Lan Jue.
The silver-white metal was shining with a dazzling blue light. Looking at it up close, one could feel its beauty.
Lin Guo-guo couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!
It's so soft, like a big blob of snot. "
Xiu Xiu giggled. "Guoguo, you're so disgusting."
The moment Lan Jue picked up the crystal box, his hand suddenly paused, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
But he still didn't open it. Instead, with a flash of silver light, the crystal box was kept in his inventory.
The auctioneer in charge of the transaction saw this, and his expression changed. When he looked at Lan Jue again, his eyes were full of reverence.
An inventory was not something that just anyone could have. Not only did one have to be at least a level-6 Talent Arcanist, but they also had to be extremely wealthy.
Energy gems that could create their own storage space were always among the best of the best.
To put it simply, a storage space the size of a mech was an A-grade energy gem.
A stable storage space the size of a battleship was an S-grade energy gem.
The largest known space-type energy gem was in the Northern Alliance, named the Northern Alliance Glory Star. It could store an expeditionary battleship.
Even the most common space-type energy gem was C-grade, and the most expensive of C-grade gems.
Returning to the auction house, Lan Jue had a faint smile on his face. He even had the thought of returning to the hotel right away.
There was a world of difference between using electric threads and directly touching it.
Just now, he clearly discovered that there was indeed an electric field on the strange metal.
