574: Chapter 574 Treasure

The sentence Daphne said before stepping off the stage was like a bomb, causing the hall to erupt in commotion.

Precious Treasure.

What is considered a Precious Treasure?

At the Purple Sea auction, only treasures worth over 500,000 credits qualify as Precious Treasures.

"Found it." Jate said while scrolling through the treasure leaderboard.

"On the leaderboard, there are only two new treasures worth 500,000 credits."

"Ranked 34th is a Longevity Pill, with an estimated value of 600,000 credits."

"And there is a weapon ranked 41st, named... the Ten Direction Thunder Hammer, with an estimated value of 510,000 credits."

Ji Sheng said, "It probably isn't the Longevity Pill; it seems it must be that weapon."

"What is a Longevity Pill?" Xiao Weiqing asked, having heard the word 'Longevity' for the first time.

"It means exactly what it says; it can increase lifespan and is effective for anyone below the Undying Realm."

"How much does it increase?"

"For a Star Lord Realm cultivator, increasing lifespan by one Yuan Era is no problem, and even for the Dominator Realm, it can add tens of thousands of years."

Xiao Weiqing's pupils constricted.

For life forms in the Star Lord Realm, excluding the Mechanical Race and some special life forms, their lifespan is only 100,000 years.

A single Longevity Pill can increase lifespan by one Yuan Era out of thin air, which exceeds the lifespan of a Star Lord Realm cultivator itself; it could be considered living another lifetime.

In the Universe, survival and reproduction are eternal.

A Longevity Pill is worth 600,000 credits; such a Heaven-Defying item is well-deserving of being called a Precious Treasure.

"The second half will be a good show. Those lower-level civilizations will probably fight tooth and nail for it. The manufacturing method for the Longevity Pill was lost long ago; even our Human Race once researched it but couldn't replicate it."

"The current Longevity Pills are one less every time one is used."

Ji Sheng explained carefully to Xiao Weiqing.

"By the way, Xiao Weiqing, what treasure are you planning to bid on?"

"I see you have little interest in those treasures. You bid on a Source Tree for your civilization, but what about yourself?"

Xiao Weiqing said softly, "I want a blade."

Ji Sheng nodded slightly. He knew Xiao Weiqing's blade was severely damaged and beyond repair; it was obvious it had been destroyed by a divine weapon of a higher level.

"There should be some later on. At an auction like this, there will be plenty of weapons and armor."

"What about you?" Xiao Weiqing asked in return.

"Me? I'm waiting for some special treasures to use for cultivating my Dharma Body."

"Actually, Divine Crystals work too, but compared to the Dharma Body, Divine Crystals are better for cultivating Domains and comprehending Laws. Using them to Cultivate a Dharma Body is a bit of a waste. Of course, the fundamental reason is that Divine Crystals are too expensive."

Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly. Just as Ji Sheng said, Star Lord Realm cultivators rarely use Divine Crystals for cultivation—not because they aren't good, but because they are too expensive, often costing tens or hundreds of thousands of credits, which is daunting.

Previously, when Morei was lucky enough to obtain a fingernail-sized Divine Crystal, and the Divine Crystals they obtained this time, they were all exchanged for credits; they never considered keeping them for personal use.

To put it bluntly, their current strength and Realm don't warrant using Divine Crystals.

"Xiao Weiqing, I keep forgetting."

"Speaking of Precious Treasures, what was the one you obtained earlier? Would you mind telling us?" Jate asked.

"Jate!" Ji Sheng exclaimed upon hearing this.

Jate shrugged, "Just asking. If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it."

Xiao Weiqing replied, "I haven't had a chance to look at it yet."

After saying this, Xiao Weiqing took advantage of the remaining time and entered the virtual world directly.

Seeing this, Ji Sheng and Jate didn't disturb him and waited quietly to the side, their expressions filled with a hint of anticipation.

A Precious Treasure, at least hundreds of thousands of credits.

Virtual World.

"Welcome back, Master."

"Yuanbao, help me examine this Precious Treasure."

Xiao Weiqing sketched out the appearance of the Precious Treasure he had obtained.

"Understood, please wait a moment."

The virtual screen flickered continuously.

Finally, a few images froze into place.

"Master, based on the style and details of the Precious Treasure you provided, the comparison indicates a 99.999998% probability that it is the Soul-Silent Armor."

"The Soul-Silent Armor comes from a civilization in the Fourth Universe era. The manufacturing method has been lost. According to statistics, fewer than 20 of these armors have appeared in the Fifth Universe."

"This armor can evade the Divine Soul detection of powerhouses in the Second Realm of the Undying Realm. Depending on the user's Divine Soul strength and the level of nourishment, it can withstand Divine Soul attacks no higher than one major rank below the Second Realm of the Undying Realm. After being attacked, it needs to be re-nourished."

"Hiss!" Seeing these descriptions, Xiao Weiqing gasped.

"Powerful, even a bit Heaven-Defying."

"Yuanbao, does evading Divine Soul detection have anything to do with the user's Divine Soul Realm?"

Yuanbao said, "No, this is a characteristic of the Soul-Silent Armor itself. Even if an ordinary person possessed a Soul-Silent Armor, they would be shielded from the detection of powerhouses in the Second Realm of the Undying Realm."

"Defending against Divine Soul attacks, however, is related to the user's Divine Soul."

"Understood."

Divine Soul detection: ignores user strength, can evade powerhouses in the Second Realm of the Undying Realm.

Divine Soul defense: with Xiao Weiqing's current Divine Soul Realm, as long as it is not the Undying Realm, nothing can do anything to him.

Of course, only once.

After being attacked, it needs to be re-nourished.

But it is still very Heaven-Defying, especially in battle; it is absolutely a trump card, a trump card that can turn the tide of a desperate situation.

"Yuanbao, how many credits is this Soul-Silent Armor roughly worth?"

Yuanbao replied, "The last Soul-Silent Armor did not appear in the Southern Region, so I can only estimate. If placed in the Holy Land, it should be worth around 10 million credits."

"Hiss!" Xiao Weiqing gasped again.

"I'm rich."

He immediately shook his head; he couldn't possibly sell this Soul-Silent Armor unless his brain was broken.

With a movement of his consciousness, Xiao Weiqing left the virtual world.

Box 4. Seeing Xiao Weiqing open his eyes, Ji Sheng and Jate cast inquiring gazes.

Xiao Weiqing chuckled, "It is indeed somewhat inconvenient to disclose."

"Oh?" Jate became interested. "So you plan to use it yourself? It seems your luck is really good. Presumably, the Precious Treasure will provide a further boost to your strength."

Xiao Weiqing smiled slightly and didn't speak.

Jate asked again, "Would it be convenient to say roughly how many credits it's worth?"

Ji Sheng said, "I think it's better not to know; let's just pretend we never encountered this Precious Treasure."

"That's so boring. We don't even have that much tolerance?" Jate said unconvinced. "Xiao Weiqing, tell us?"

Hearing this, Xiao Weiqing said softly, "This number."

Seeing Xiao Weiqing hold up 6 fingers.

Jate guessed, "600,000?"

Xiao Weiqing shook his head.

"Hiss!" Ji Sheng gasped, "It wouldn't be 6 digits, would it?"

Xiao Weiqing smiled without saying anything.

"I..." Jate's eyes widened, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then he slapped himself hard, "God, what did I miss?"

Ji Sheng was shocked, then glared fiercely at Jate.

"You idiot, if you had helped me block Sogo at that time, I might not have been unable to compete for this Precious Treasure."

Jate was unconvinced upon hearing this.

"Are you sure?"

"If I had blocked Sogo, would you still be able to sit here? The one who would have been slashed into a coma would be you."

Ji Sheng's tone faltered.

Thinking about it, it was really possible; he still had vivid memories of that slash from Xiao Weiqing.

Not to mention him, there were probably not many in the Sixth Heaven who could block it.
