"Gangxin, what do you think?" Wushan Divine Lady seemed to be testing him.

Bai Pu shook his head, "The Rough Leather Armor cannot compare to the value of Advanced Dark Gold Equipment. Although it has good attributes and high armor, it lacks any decent additional skills. Unique additional skills are what truly give Dark Gold Equipment its value."

Wushan Divine Lady nodded, "Your analysis is correct. It seems you’ve seen quite a bit of Dark Gold Equipment."

Bai Pu smiled.

At this time, there were already many bids for the Rough Leather Armor, even Wushan Divine Lady raised a paddle once.

However, when the price was pushed up to 500,000 Spiritual Points, she decided not to follow.

Generally, Dark Gold Equipment starts at millions of Spiritual Points, and particularly outstanding Advanced Dark Gold Equipment can fetch a sky-high price of tens of millions of Spiritual Points.

But Wushan Divine Lady’s psychological price point for the Rough Leather Armor was just 500,000, so she gave up the competition early.

The heads of other major forces at the peak auction were also clear-headed. As the price continued to rise, they gradually gave up.

Ultimately, the Rough Leather Armor was sold for 720,000 Spiritual Points, purchased by the Iron Cavalry Guild.

"Not bad, the atmosphere here has been significantly hyped up. It seems that Fengzi Auction House has indeed found backing in the Silver Heart Great World, able to even acquire tierless Evolver Equipment." Bai Pu thought to himself.

The following auction items were all top-grade from the Awakened World. Each faction present placed bids, and there was no lack of interest.

Bai Pu was also greatly enlightened, seeing many items with power and effects he had never seen before.

Among them was an item, the Sacred Birch Bark, ranked C-level Gold, which could invoke a Light Divine Art with three options:

Divine Protection Divine Art provides a shield to friendly forces (including oneself) in a certain area; Divine Healing Divine Art offers large-area healing; Divine Punishment Divine Art deals Divine Damage to enemies in a specified area.

This Golden Artifact had broad applicability and was a crucial asset for large forces with advanced teams, sparking intense competition.

Ultimately, it was Iron Wall Guild’s "Circular Flow" who lavishly spent 900,000 Spiritual Points to acquire the Sacred Birch Bark.

Bai Pu, a lone wanderer, was not interested in this.

As the auction reached its midpoint, it gradually became a bit dull, with several auction items being sold at slightly above starting prices.

"Next, we’ll have an intermission. Guests are welcome to visit the adjacent lounge for refreshments. However, I can tell you in advance that the first treasure in the second half is an item that will absolutely make every Awakened’s heartbeat quicken." Miao Luo said with a smile.

This immediately piqued the crowd’s interest. Someone urged, "No need for a break, we’re short on time!"

"Indeed, for Awakened, sitting a while longer doesn’t matter, let’s continue the auction!"

Seeing this, Miao Luo had to consult with Enamored and, after gathering opinions from the guests present, decided to cancel the scheduled intermission and proceed with the auction.

Sure enough, the first treasure brought out in the second half immediately made everyone’s breath quicken!

Yellow Rice: Spirit Realm Curio. Each time the Yellow Rice is consumed, one random Basic Attribute is increased. This method can provide up to 20 points of Basic Attributes.

Miao Luo said with a smile, "I’m sure everyone is aware that many treasures at this peak auction have been acquired from the Silver Heart Great World. The circulation between the Upper-Rank World and Earth is extremely challenging due to constraints imposed by the Spirit Realm Will. Gaining even a small pack of Yellow Rice this time is truly difficult!"

"How many grains in total?" someone asked.

"Not more, not fewer, 20 grains."

Miao Luo announced, "A pack of Yellow Rice starts at 500,000 Spiritual Points, with each increase no less than 10,000 Spiritual Points. Please place your bids!"

Once Miao Luo finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

After all, this kind of item is rarely seen. Everyone was pondering its value and defining their psychological limit.

"Twenty randomly distributed Attributes will likely bolster one’s weakest Attributes, which for most Awakened is not as beneficial as enhancing their already strong Attributes. However, for top-tier Awakened, Dark Gold Equipment often requires All Attributes... so these 20 randomly distributed Attributes are still highly sought after.

"Comparing to a piece of Dark Gold Equipment, the 20 Attribute points from the Yellow Rice have a comparable increase in value. In terms of advantages, Yellow Rice increases Basic Attributes and doesn’t occupy equipment slots; in terms of disadvantages, Yellow Rice lacks the unique skill bonuses of Dark Gold Equipment.

"Overall, in most people’s minds, 20 grains of Yellow Rice are roughly equivalent in value to a piece of Dark Gold Equipment! However, for those urgently needing Basic Attributes to wear Advanced Equipment, the value might even be more than doubled."

Bai Pu, upon seeing Yellow Rice, estimated its value and considered it in his mind.

He himself was one of those urgently needing Basic Attributes.

Thus, he had a strong desire for these 20 grains of Yellow Rice.

"800,000," someone raised a paddle, who was a petite female Awakened, wearing a vintage bamboo hat with a black veil hanging down to block Spiritual Power probing.

"820,000."

"830,000."

One after another, bids followed.

"900,000!" a sudden high price rang out, and Bai Pu looked over to see Overlord raising the paddle, while his father "Circular Flow" smiled silently.

"910,000." The first bidder, the black-veiled hat woman, continued to bid.

Every time someone else bid, she only increased it by 10,000, but her paddle was always raised first, giving the impression of relentless determination!

Wushan Divine Lady glanced over and whispered, "That’s the Flower Bell Guild’s top expert, Soul Capture."

"That’s Soul Capture? A Divine Throne candidate?"

Bai Pu observed closely.

Previously, Li Ling had compiled a list of the first batch of title battle qualifiers, and was gathering combat data on these experts.

So Bai Pu was familiar with the names of the title battle qualifiers, though he still didn’t know their specific combat styles or areas of expertise.

However, it wouldn’t be long before the intelligence on these experts would be laid on Bai Pu’s desk.

In the Spiritual Era, information is abundant, and Spiritual Cameras are in almost everyone’s hands; almost no Awakened can keep their secrets forever, unless they never act on Earth, never compete, or never venture into the Wilderness Area.

"1,000,000 Spiritual Points!" a somewhat familiar voice called out, coming from the Iron Cavalry Guild.

The one who raised the paddle was the Border Town Wanderer.

"1,010,000." Soul Capture did not hesitate at all.

"Hehe, our ’Celestial Mansion’ will join the fun too, 1,500,000." From Haotian’s group, a middle-aged man in the main seat, with a gentle demeanor, raised his paddle to bid.

In the venue, those big shots remained unfazed, but many of the younger followers couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Increasing the price by 500,000 Spiritual Points in one go!

That offer itself could already buy a decent piece of Dark Gold Equipment.
