Chapter 1480: Chapter 1480: Participating in the Auction

This was obviously a reminder to Lan Xuanyu. Lan Xuanyu was stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply to the Sky Dragon Leader.

A method to counteract divine consciousness? Do he, Bai Xiuxiu, and Lan Mengqin have it? It should be possible, right? Lan Mengqin also has strong healing abilities, and Bai Xiuxiu excels at controlling the ice attribute. As for himself, his Dragon God’s bloodline and divine consciousness level are exceedingly high.

Sure enough, Li Jingyi on the stage was already supplementing the explanation.

“Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword, not only can it freeze everything, but it also indiscriminately freezes divine consciousness, making it sluggish. Use it with caution. The bidding starts now, with a starting price of 150,000 Sky Dragon Crystal Coins.”

The characteristics of this artifact were already fully understood. It inherently possesses powerful domain abilities, but has many restrictions, making it an artifact that only God Rank strong individuals can touch. The ice attribute restricts and also freezes divine consciousness, requiring the attribute to reach the level of Ultimate Ice to use. Its capacity is also hard to control.

It is precisely because of the numerous limitations that it affects the value of this artifact.

Even though it is rated as a mid-tier artifact, an inferior artifact without restrictions would be priced much higher. No matter how powerful an artifact is, if it can’t be used, it is meaningless! The feature of freezing divine consciousness indeed makes it somewhat cumbersome. Even one’s own divine consciousness would be frozen, naturally severely affecting response speed and individual capacity. In a battle between God Rank strong individuals, often victory or defeat is decided in an instant. In such a situation, if you are a beat slower…

150,000 Sky Dragon Crystal Coins, for an artifact, really isn’t much. But when the base price was revealed, the entire hall fell silent.

First of all, everyone must weigh whether the artifact, although good, can be used.

For smaller races, 150,000 Sky Dragon Crystal Coins is no small number. If it can’t be used, why bid for it? And for the major races, they would similarly consider what to do with such an artifact that is like a chicken rib.

Within the Dragon Horse Galaxy, not a single major race excels in the ice attribute. Only some smaller races possess capabilities in this area.

Otherwise, this artifact would have long been sold by the Dragon Clan to make money.

“One hundred fifty thousand!” Finally, someone bid, and the face of Star Moon Dragon Knight Li Jingyi looked a little better. This was the first auction item she hosted, and to have it go unsold directly would be rather embarrassing! Although she also felt that the price of 150,000 was a bit unfair to this artifact. But this artifact had been with the Dragon Clan for years, a spoil of war from many years ago.

Ironically, this artifact had only one previous user, the last generation’s Second Seat, the mother of Sky Dragon Leader Jiang Weiqiang, Lan Xuanyu’s godmother, Divine Fire Dragon Knight Zhang Chujia.

Zhang Chujia was not of the ice attribute, but possessed incredibly powerful fire attributes. By leveraging her own abilities, she could suppress the characteristics of this artifact, thereby using it at certain specific times. But later, because of other restrictive artifacts, she abandoned this Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword, mainly because of the adverse effects that needed too much Dragon Power to counteract, especially when the attributes were opposite.

Lan Xuanyu raised the sign in his hand, he made his move.

The hesitancy of other bidders was naturally a good thing! Only 150,000! He still had more than 4 million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins, given by his godmother, for free. The more artifacts he could exchange for, the better! Not to take advantage would be a waste.

The Sky Dragon Leader did not try to dissuade him anymore, after all, artifacts and Sky Dragon Crystal Coins were essentially internal circulations of the Dragon Clan. Even though no one liked the Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword, it was still an artifact, a crucial asset. Even among dragon knights, not everyone possesses an artifact.

Artifacts, though powerful, must suit the individual. Some dragon knights have special attributes, and there aren’t artifacts aligned with their attributes, so they’d be better off using weapons a tier lower, which would be more beneficial to them. Star Moon Dragon Knight Li Jingyi is a representative of this; she herself does not have an artifact.

“One hundred fifty-one thousand.” Li Jingyi’s hand pointed to the box belonging to the Dragon Clan.

The bidding immediately halted, and after several seconds, another bid emerged, “One hundred fifty-five thousand.”

“One hundred sixty thousand!” Lan Xuanyu unhesitatingly bid again. Spending money that wasn’t his own didn’t hurt at all!

Silence reigned outside. There were no further bids.

The major tribes had actually all understood this artifact before. In fact, this artifact wasn’t appearing in the auction for the first time and had even been auctioned off before. But due to its significant adverse effects, it eventually returned to the Dragon Clan’s hands. This thing brought considerable profit to the Dragon Clan when it was first auctioned off at a hefty price, yet much cheaper to buy back. Hence, the major races of the Dragon Horse Federation were aware of this artifact.

It’s precisely because of these experiences that the reserve price was really low this time. Spending tens of thousands to get an artifact was indeed worth it.

However, continuous bidding from the Dragon Clan’s box suggested price inflation. If this continues, it wouldn’t be worth it. Moreover, very few God Rank strong individuals can even use this artifact.

“One hundred sixty thousand, first time!” Star Moon Dragon Knight Li Jingyi was also annoyed, speeding up the auction. This is an artifact! Your disrespect for it is excessive–might as well keep it ourselves.

“One hundred sixty thousand, second time, one hundred sixty thousand, third time. Bang!”

The gavel fell.

Li Jingyi said, “Our artifact-level item will be claimed by the bidder in person. If they lack the ability to take the artifact, the auction will be voided. This has always been the rule for artifact auctions. Next, bidder number two hundred twenty-one, please come up and claim your item.”

This rule exists? Lan Xuanyu was startled. Bai Xiuxiu subconsciously looked at him, wondering whether she should go up instead.

Lan Xuanyu shook his head and walked out himself. After all, the Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword had the ability to freeze divine consciousness. He worried that Bai Xiuxiu’s divine consciousness might not withstand it, and if she showed fear on stage, it would not be good.

With a light touch of his toe on the ground, Lan Xuanyu floated up. Today, he wore a white dress. As his figure unfolded, blue hair floated behind him, and even though the bidders only saw a back view, they could perceive an elegant poise.

Female Dragon Knight?

Question marks appeared in the hearts of the strong from various races. Those in the Dragon Clan’s box should naturally be dragon knights!

Lan Xuanyu ascended the auction platform, slightly bowing to Star Moon Dragon Knight Li Jingyi.

“Lan, congratulations on winning the artifact. Its value is absolutely worth it.” As Li Jingyi spoke, she handed over the Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword to Lan Xuanyu.

Getting closer, Lan Xuanyu could also clearly feel the intense cold emanating from this artifact-level longsword, a kind of bone-chilling coldness that penetrated into his body with no gaps.

The seven-colored halo burst forth from him almost instantly, the low dragon roar resonating as the blue hair behind him moved without wind. The blue within the rainbow halo suddenly intensified, and a blue glimmer flickered in Lan Xuanyu’s eyes.

The Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword trembled slightly, and the moment it fell into Lan Xuanyu’s hand, the blue sword glow rose sharply, the cold air threatening, as if ready to break free from his grasp.

Lan Xuanyu gripped the longsword with his left hand and lightly flicked the blade with the middle finger of his right hand.

A crisp “ding” sound was heard.

The pervasive cold across the hall suddenly converged back into the Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword, like all rivers flowing into the sea. The godly sword quieted almost instantly, even the dark blue surface subdued.
