However, this didn’t concern him.
Ji Xinghuo asked again, "Are there any Alien Species with Magnetic Pole Potential Slash at this Cangming Auction?"
Cang Ya smiled and said, "I knew you would ask, so I paid special attention. A few days ago, Chaoge Clan just sent us a Magnetic Pole Potential Slash, consigned for auction, starting at 100,000 Ether Crystals."
One hundred thousand Ether Crystals...
Ji Xinghuo was momentarily speechless; that was just the starting bid.
Given the large scale of this Cangming Auction, surely many people were eyeing the Magnetic Pole Potential Slash, and the final price would likely break records.
"Do you plan to participate in the bidding?" Cang Ya knew he had always wanted this Alien Species.
"It’s too expensive."
Ji Xinghuo shook his head, but he hadn’t planned to give up just yet. There might still be a chance to find a bargain, so he needed to prepare the funds.
While in the Secret Realm, he had tallied his possessions.
He had just over 120,000 Ether Crystals, plus 13 Mirage Spirit Pearls, 5 End Dragon Eyes, 3 Heart-devouring Demon’s Eyes, 25 doses of True Essence Injection Liquid, one Red Emperor Blood Crystal, and 2 doses of Azure Sea Essence.
All these were very valuable, especially the Mirage Spirit Pearls and End Dragon Eyes, each worth about 10,000 Ether Crystals.
Additionally, he had a batch of Star-falling Species.
However, he only planned to sell the "Water Control" ones, a total of seven Water Control Alien Species, keeping two for himself.
The others, like Three-Phase Transformation, Cloud Flipping and Sea Covering, Gravity Field, and Meteor Fire Dragon Flame Body, he intended to keep and bring back to Earth to see if his family and friends needed them; if not, he could sell them later.
"Can you help me handle all these?"
Ji Xinghuo took out 5 Mirage Spirit Pearls and 5 Water Control Alien Species, along with a heap of rare materials collected by Zog Soz.
"So many Mirage Spirit Pearls!"
Cang Ya showed surprise and after checking the other items, smiled and said, "It seems you had quite a harvest in the Sea Abyss."
"Not bad, indeed a bit of a harvest," Ji Xinghuo replied half truthfully.
"In total, they should sell for more than 100,000 Ether Crystals," Cang Ya, being quite the expert, quickly made an estimate.
Ji Xinghuo then remembered something else.
He took out a shield-shaped, thin armor plate densely engraved with dragon patterns, seemingly forged from countless dragon scales, only damaged by a blade cut in the middle, and asked, "Can this Reversed Dragon Armor be repaired?"
"Reversed Dragon Armor!"
Cang Ya’s eyes widened in astonishment, "Apocalypse Two Stars protective gear, and this is what you call a bit of a harvest?"
"Heh heh..." Ji Xinghuo chuckled.
After a moment, Cang Ya regained her composure, took the Reversed Dragon Armor, and examined it closely, "I’m not a professional repair master, so I wouldn’t dare to make a definitive interpretation. The damage to this Reversed Dragon Armor isn’t extensive; it can be repaired over 90% likely, but the cost is substantial, likely around 30,000 Ether Crystals, perhaps even more."
"As long as it can be repaired," Ji Xinghuo didn’t hesitate, knowing a fully intact Reversed Dragon Armor was worth far more than 30,000 Ether Crystals.
Apocalypse Two Stars treasures typically sold for two or three hundred thousand Ether Crystals.
"I’ll take you to meet a Repair Master, have him work on it. We’ll also make a trip to Donghuang Island to handle these items in exchange for Ether Crystals," she looked at Ji Xinghuo, asking, "Will you come along?"
"Of course," Ji Xinghuo gladly agreed.
The two walked to the middle of the estate.
A long-bodied dragon shrouded in clouds descended from the sky, the Cloud Sea Dragon.
Upon seeing Ji Xinghuo, its eyes lit up, its enormous head affectionately moving closer, trying to lick Ji Xinghuo with its tongue, but stopped when he glared at it, eyes full of grievances, yet it couldn’t resist fawning over him.
