Normally, cultural relics and antiques are the older and more intact they are, the more valuable they are, and of course they are not absolute. Another important factor affecting the price is quantity, and the theorem that scarcity is expensive is also applicable in the Star Ocean World.

This ancient spaceship was a classic aristocratic ship of the powerful alien civilization of the Sathdani Dynasty about 47,000 years ago, and was extremely popular with the upper class nobles at the time. This civilization was destroyed 15,000 years ago, so the number of ships that have survived to the present day is extremely rare. A few of them have become a collection of great interest to many high-level aircraft enthusiasts and tycoons.

“…… Distinguished guests, I believe that everyone has already understood the information of this lost civilization spaceship in advance, so I will not repeat it here. Now there are less than five of these spaceships left in the Star Sea, especially this spaceship is 100% complete, as long as it replenishes energy, it can return to the starry sky!"

"Its starting price is 10,000 star crystals, and the price is increased by 500 each time, and friends who intend to buy it back as a collector's item can bid freely!"

After the auctioneer finished speaking, many guests in the venue began to offer:

"Eleven thousand!"

……

"Twelve thousand!"

……

"Twelve thousand five hundred!"

……

In the venue of the University. Voices of price increases came from different corners, from the open seats on the bottom floor to the luxurious enclosed suites on the top floor, and there were people who expressed great interest in the ship.

"In the Xinghai World, the oldest cultural relics and antiques can be traced back to many years ago?" Zhao Xinglan asked suddenly.

"I can't say for sure, things that are tens of thousands of years old are very common, things that are more than 100,000 years old and less than 300,000 years old are not too difficult to find, and things that are more than 500,000 years old are somewhat rare. Of course, if you want to talk about antiques that are particularly old and rare, they must be at least items that are more than a million interstellar years!" Yang Yufei said with a smile.

Zhao Xinglan couldn't help but be speechless, on the earth, things that are more than a hundred years old can be classified as cultural relics and antiques and have a certain collection value. The more ancient items are mostly one or two thousand years old, and the cultural relics and antiques that are more than three thousand years old are relatively rare.

As for the kind of prehistoric civilization items that have existed for more than 10,000 years and are still intact, there are basically none. In other words, it is impossible to appear on the open market, and it will only be hidden and studied by the secret services of various countries on the earth.

“…… There are several good treasures in my family's treasure house, all of which come from the long-disappeared primeval alien civilization, and the oldest of them is the scepter of a certain alien powerhouse, which has a history of more than 1.73 million years! Yang Yufei said.

Zhao Xinglan nodded silently.

A few minutes later, the price of the ship stopped at the height of 19,000 star crystals, and was finally taken by a wealthy man from the alien civilization of the Tamr Federation.

Most of the guests in the outside venue are of human veins, but there are also a large number of half-breeds and interracial intelligent races, who are basically high-class individuals with considerable value. After all, this kind of top-level auction costs a lot of money with just one admission ticket, and ordinary people have no chance to enter.

The second treasure that the auctioneer took out was a limited edition demigod-level light armor set, according to the information, it was produced by a famous equipment making master, which was quite powerful and practical, and the auction reserve price was 15,000 star crystals.

Zhao Xinglan tried to make two offers, but then decided to give up, what she needed most now was to improve her cultivation, and foreign objects such as equipment were not very urgently needed.

After a fierce bidding, this set of light armor was taken away by a wealthy merchant of the Human Empire for 30,000 star crystals.

"Sister. Does your family have the kind of resources that can quickly improve the cultivation of the Ability without causing side effects?" Zhao Xinglan asked.

"This ......"

Yang Yufei instantly understood what she meant, and hesitated: "Yes, there is, but unfortunately the number is too scarce, and it is controlled by the family elders, and there are extremely strict restrictions on access and distribution, even it is difficult for me to get it." ”

"Alright then, I won't embarrass you. Zhao Xinglan understood.

Yang Yufei was a little apologetic, after all, the relationship between this sister and her was extraordinary, so it was a bit blunt to refuse, so she said: "I'll go and discuss with my father tomorrow to see if I can help you get a copy." ”

"Well, then there is Sister Lao, even if you pay for it, you can buy it. Zhao Xinglan said.

To say that the high-end resources that directly improve the level of the ability are not difficult to obtain in the Star Sea World, especially in the capital of the Blue Dome Empire, there are all kinds of things, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not a problem.

However, after the use of this kind of resource, it will have some side effects to a greater or lesser extent, such as causing the cultivation foundation to be unstable, the source energy condensation is not pure enough, and the genetic stability is affected. If it is serious, it will cause a certain degree of damage to the user's cultivation foundation, causing the difficulty of continuing to improve the strength to skyrocket.

Therefore, unless there is a compelling reason, those ability cultivators generally do not use this kind of thing to dry up and fish at the cost of overdrawing their future potential.

However, there are always some very special precious resources, which can not only directly improve the rank after use, but also have no negative impact on the body of the ability cultivator, and will not affect the future cultivation process.

Correspondingly, the price of this special resource is unimaginably high, and it is even more rare. It has always been controlled by many powerful countries, families and power organizations, and it is not the most core and important training candidate, and it has no chance to see it at all. Even if someone can get enough star crystals, they are not easy to buy in the outside market.

Of course, there are such extremely precious resources in the family of the Grand Duke of Yilong, but the number is not large, and it can be said that it is extremely rare. Especially the high-end resources that Zhao Xinglan needs are going to a demigod-level powerhouse, which is even more difficult.

So when she opened her mouth to ask for help, Yang Yufei felt that it was difficult to do. It's not that she doesn't want to help, it's that this kind of resource is so rare and rare that her father would find it tricky.

There is also an unspeakable reason, that is, once Zhao Xinglan is provided with this kind of resource, it means that not only Yang Yufei's personal behavior, but the entire family has decided to bet on Zhao Xinglan and officially stand on her side and support her to compete for the position of the next generation of Saint Venerable. The political meaning of the representation is completely different, so it is by no means as simple as it seems.

Zhao Xinglan smiled slightly and did not continue the topic. After all, the other party is a big family, and the family is big, so there are naturally many various ties and concerns, so it is understandable to feel embarrassed.

The auction continued, and all kinds of high-end equipment, warships, limited-edition mechas, special genetic potions, high-level cultivation resources, treasures from the ruins of ancient civilizations, and some treasures with untold uses were all displayed by auctioneers one by one.

Yang Yufei occasionally makes a move, and takes down the good things she fancies, but Zhao Xinglan has always stood by and watched, she only needs to improve the resources of cultivation now, and other treasures don't mean much to herself.

A moment later, a strange flower the size of a human head, delicate and dazzling, appeared on the booth, and a faint fragrance permeated the audience, attracting Zhao Xinglan's attention.

“…… Jiuhua Thousand Heart Lotus, actually Jiuhua Thousand Heart Lotus? I really didn't expect such a treasure to appear......"

Yang Yufei's beautiful eyes lit up, and she quickly pushed her and said, "Sister, don't let it go, this thing is just what you can use." ”

In the huge cyan jade plate, this rare strange flower was quietly placed under the protection of the double-layer energy light curtain, and anyone with a little ability cultivation could sense the strong life breath faintly emanating from its interior.

Jiuhua Thousand Heart Lotus is a rare plant in the starry sky that can only be found in the territory of certain famous star beasts. It also has a high level of intelligence, which is usually not easy to find, and if you want to pick it, you have to face the fierce siege of those powerful star beasts.

A creature that can thrive in the starry sky can never be a weak person to be bullied, even if it is a strong person with god-level cultivation, it is not too easy to find a Jiuhua Thousand Heart Lotus, and pick it after repelling those fierce beasts.

Of course, this thing is an extremely precious cultivation resource, as long as you take it directly after getting it, it can greatly strengthen and improve the physique of the ability cultivator, repair all the dark injuries at the genetic level, and effectively increase the cultivation speed. Of course, the greatest value is that it can directly raise the level of the ability by one level, and will not leave any side effects or sequelae, which is effective for those with abilities below the demigod level.

Normally, even in the auction of the capital of the Blue Dome Empire, the opportunity to see such a treasure is extremely rare, but I didn't expect to encounter it this time.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, the starting price of this Jiuhua Thousand Heart Lotus is 350,000 Star Crystals. Each time the price is increased by 10,000 star crystals, interested friends can now bid!"

At this time, the auctioneer on the booth had already introduced its origin and function, and finally announced.

"Three hundred and sixty thousand!" someone immediately shouted.

……

"Three hundred and seventy thousand!"

……

"Four hundred thousand!"

……

Under the frenzied atmosphere, the price quickly multiplied several times, and after breaking through the million mark, it continued to soar, and there was no sign of stagnation for a while.

One million star crystals, equivalent to one trillion star yuan, under normal circumstances, this can already buy two fully manned elite fleets, and it is the main fleet of the standard of a six-star interstellar civilization. It's a bit exaggerated to spend so much money for a Jiuhua Thousand Heart Lotus, no matter how you look at it, although this thing is really hard to find.

Yang Yufei frowned slightly, she could already see that this matter did not seem to be so simple. The test ceremony for the next generation of Saint Venerable Inheritors of the Guardian Star Hall is about to begin, and perhaps many people and forces are paying attention to this kind of resource that can quickly improve their cultivation, even if they don't need it, it seems that they can't let potential competitors get it, right?

From this point of view, it seems that this sister will not be too smooth to get this rare treasure in her pocket. Of course, standing on her own position, she should help her with reason.

Zhao Xinglan watched quietly and watched the price rise all the way, and after only a moment, it had already broken through the two million star crystal mark, and then two and a half million...... It wasn't until it approached three million star crystals that the momentum gradually slowed down.

At this time, there are less than ten buyers left who can continue to hold on, after all, this huge amount of money is not a number that can be taken out casually for a senior demigod-level powerhouse, and these characters present are naturally no exception.

"Luckily, it seems like I'm still hoping to get it. Zhao Xinglan said softly.

"It's okay, just shoot it! If you don't have enough money, sister, I'll give you all the private money here. Yang Yufei said with a smile.

Zhao Xinglan nodded lightly and quoted a price of two million .9 million.

After several rounds of competition, the price slowly rose to the 3.2 million mark, and there were still several buyers in the audience who still insisted on not giving up.

When the price exceeded 3.5 million, several opponents finally lost with extreme unwillingness. After all, if you just consider improving your cultivation, there are many other options, and you don't have to take this strange flower to solve the problem.

If you spend too much on this item, you won't be able to continue bidding if you come out later, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In the end, Zhao Xinglan finally pocketed this rare treasure at the price of 3.6 million star crystals.

After a while, the two maids came to the private room under the escort of a team of high-level abilities, and said in a respectful tone: "Beautiful young lady, this is the Jiuhua Thousand Heart Lotus you wanted, please check." ”

Zhao Xinglan opened the box on the tray, inspected it with Yang Yufei, and after confirming that there was no problem, she paid the bill with satisfaction.

Yang Yufei smiled and watched her put away the precious strange flower, and said: "This thing can be taken many times, with the strength of this big auction, the same treasure should still be in stock, and I will help you ask after it is over, it would be better to receive another one!"

"Then there is Sister Lao!" Zhao Xinglan said with a smile.

The backstage of this auction house is the second top chamber of commerce in the empire, many wealthy nobles have shares in it, it has been developed for hundreds of years, it controls a large amount of financial and material resources, and it has its own fleet and a large number of businesses in the savage galaxy, and the strength is not to be said.

As long as Yang Yufei shows her identity, it is not difficult to turn over their inventory and check it, there must be a lot of good things in it.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xinglan simply took out the strange flower and ate it directly as a snack. Someone outside may have been eyeing this thing, and she didn't bother to wait any longer to avoid long nights.

As time passed, the atmosphere of this auction gradually entered a peak, and the transaction amount became higher and higher, and finally another heavyweight lot caught Zhao Xinglan's attention.
