Chapter 611: Items for Consignment
When thousands of corpses of beast monsters at the Star Realm level piled up in the appraisal room, Old Chen could hardly remain calm. Among them, hundreds were corpses of peak Star Realm-level beast monsters—beasts of such a level that only those at the Star Universe level could easily slay them. What surprised Old Chen even more was that the fatal wounds on those corpses were merely dots on their foreheads. Compared to the beasts’ towering heights of several zhang, such minor damage was hardly noticeable, making the corpses almost perfectly intact.
“The integrity of these corpses is excellent. Their value is at least three times higher than selling the crystal cores alone, and in good condition, it could even reach five times that amount,” Old Chen said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “Moreover, these are Star Realm-level beast monsters, second only to the powerful beings at the Star Universe level. If they fall into the hands of experts with necromantic powers, they would become incredibly formidable combat forces. Refining them into pills would also be sufficient for Star Realm-level experts to use. However, I don’t recommend auctioning them all, as fewer items tend to fetch higher prices at auctions. My suggestion is to auction at most ten corpses, and consign the rest. Surely, many people will want them.”
“That works too,” Ye Feng nodded. “What’s the value of these corpses?”
“Corpses at the early Star Realm level can fetch about 20,000 star crystals, those at the middle stage around 100,000, those at the late stage around 300,000, and peak-level ones could probably sell for around 800,000.”
“That’s not bad,” Ye Feng was fairly satisfied. He calculated that just the Star Realm-level corpses could fetch around 400 million star crystals. Since he had hunted few corpses at the early and middle stages of the Star Realm, the vast majority of those thousands of corpses were at the late stage.
In addition to these corpses, Ye Feng took out an item that left Old Chen utterly stunned.
“This is…” Old Chen could hardly speak clearly. “A peak-level teleportation spirit treasure?”
“That’s right. As far as I know, there isn’t any peak-level teleportation spirit treasure in the entire Star Realm,” Ye Feng said with a smile. “Could you please help me estimate its value, Old Chen?”
Saying this, Ye Feng handed the palm-sized vessel to Old Chen.
Old Chen gently stroked the peak-level vessel-shaped spirit treasure, as if caressing a loved one. It took him a while to regain his composure. He placed the spirit treasure under his instruments for more detailed inspection and appraisal.
After about half a cup of tea, Elder Chen finally raised his head. “It truly is a perfect peak-level spiritual treasure—just one step short of reaching the level of an ultimate spiritual treasure. Whoever obtains this item is equivalent to having several extra lives. Although ship-type spiritual treasures belong to the teleportation category, their defensive power is hardly inferior to that of palace-type ones. This item has never appeared in the entire galaxy before. If I were to estimate its value, it’s hard to say, but it’s at least ten times more valuable than that peak-level palace-type spiritual treasure from last time. Since this is a large-scale auction with many more powerful individuals present than last time, and they also have far more funds, even under the most conservative estimate, this treasure could fetch at least 100 million star crystals.”
“100 million? That price seems acceptable!” Ye Feng nodded, adding another item to his possession.
“This… could it be…” Elder Chen was utterly shocked this time. He stared at Ye Feng in horror, clearly unable to believe it.
“That’s right. This is a second-tier divine skill, the most powerful lightning-based skill among the seven elemental divine powers.” Ye Feng smiled and nodded. He had obtained this divine skill using his free privileges from the Void Realm. Within the scope of the Sixth Realm, he could acquire divine skills of third tier and below for free. He chose a second-tier skill because throwing in a third-tier skill right away likely wouldn’t attract buyers, so it was better to use a second-tier skill first to pique interest. As for first-tier divine skills, although there aren’t many people in the entire galaxy who possess them, their value is undoubtedly much lower.
“You actually managed to get something like this…” Elder Chen took the divine skill book, examined it carefully, and then returned it to Ye Feng. He had also appraised a first-tier divine skill before, though that was many years ago. Still, he was certain this one was genuine, as he clearly remembered the aura of divine skills—such things couldn’t be forged.
“What’s your estimate for this second-tier divine skill, Elder Chen?” Ye Feng asked eagerly.
“I really can’t estimate its value. Although we sold first-class items many years ago, they’re completely irrelevant compared to second-class ones,” said Old Chen, shaking his head. “But currently, there are less than fifteen powerful individuals in this galaxy who practice second-class divine techniques. Such an item would be contested by anyone. My guess is that if it were presented as the finale, even those who have surpassed the star rank would go to extreme lengths to obtain it. Given the scale of this auction and the list of known participants, it’s unlikely anyone will bring over a hundred billion star crystals, but at least fifty billion should be achievable.”
“Only fifty billion?” Ye Feng frowned slightly. He had thought the item could fetch at least a hundred billion.
“I’m only giving the most conservative estimate. Based on the current situation, there are no buyers with assets exceeding a hundred billion participating in this auction. Of course, there’s still about ten days left. We can build up hype, run extensive advertisements, and directly inform those powerful individuals. If necessary, we can even delay the auction again.” A glint appeared in Old Chen’s eyes—he clearly wanted this auction to become a huge success.
“Can such a large-scale auction be delayed?” Ye Feng was skeptical.
“It’s never happened before, but I believe it’s possible this time. Our Longquan Auction Hall has always ranked third in the galaxy over the years. This is a chance to leap to first place. The higher-ups certainly won’t miss this opportunity.” Old Chen seemed very confident.
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Old Chen!” Ye Feng bowed slightly.
“Mr. Ye, are you interested in becoming a VIP of our Longquan Auction Hall?” Old Chen asked suddenly. “If you become a VIP, we’ll reduce the auction fee from 5% to 2%. The consignment fee, which is usually 10%, will also be reduced to 5%. Moreover, we’ll keep you informed of any resources we have. You can also entrust us to make the purchase; we can advance the funds to buy it from the seller and hold it temporarily for you. Most importantly, after the purchase, we can send people to ensure your safety and escort you to your destination. If anyone tries to harm you, it’s as if they’re attacking our Longquan Auction Hall. And our VIP lounge is always open to you. Of course, becoming a VIP is completely free. We just hope that in future collaborations, you’ll give us priority.”
“It sounds good,” Ye Feng nodded. “Then go ahead and arrange one for me.”
Seeing Ye Feng agree so readily, Chen immediately took out a silver-white card from his ring. “All you need to do is infuse your soul energy into it. The card will automatically record your soul aura, ensuring that only you can use this VIP card.”
Ye Feng nodded, took the card, and infused his soul energy into it to complete the activation process.
After finishing all this, Ye Feng left the appraisal room. Long Tian and the others had already completed their appraisals in other rooms and were waiting for him in the hall.
As soon as they stepped out of the auction hall, Ye Feng and the others saw a tall man dressed entirely in red, along with four powerful fighters, blocking their path.
