Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"Time's up. Please leave the venue." said the envoy from the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm.

Everyone retreated to their original positions.

"The ore will be auctioned in 10 batches, 100 pieces each. The first batch will begin now. If you like ore number 1, please place your bid. The starting price is 100 Yuanbao."

As soon as the envoy from the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm finished speaking, someone immediately made an offer.

"100 Yuanbao."

"200 Yuanbao."

"500."

"800."

"1000!"

The price instantly exceeded 1000 Yuanbao, and finally stopped at 1200 Yuanbao, with no one bidding again.

The envoy from the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm just glanced at the bidder of Ore No. 1, and without saying who the ore belonged to, he immediately started the auction of the next ore.

"Ore No. 2, please bid."

"200 Yuanbao."

"400."

......

Each ore was sold for a price often exceeding a thousand Yuanbao, and some even reached 3 or 4 Yuanbao.

Brooke frowned slightly. At this price, even if he sold the gemstone, he wouldn't make much profit, and he might even lose money, yet there were still people willing to buy it. This auction price was already beyond Brooke's budget. He had originally thought that the 4000 Yuanbao he had on him was not a small amount, but now it seemed that it was not enough.

When we came to No. 32, which was a long piece of red ore, Zhan Tuo next to him also joined the auction.

"500!"

"800!"

"1000!"

...

"Brother Zhan, do you think this ore is promising?" Brook asked.

"Yes, based on my experience, there should be a weapon in this ore, and it may be a 6th-level hot-blooded weapon!" Zhan Tuo said.

Weapons and clothing above the Overlord level cannot be dropped by monsters. Generally speaking, they can only be crafted by gradually crafting them from Taurus weapons and clothing. For example, Brook's Overlord Dao Sword was crafted from the Taurus Dao Sword and 400 Creation Gems. If Creation Gems are calculated at a minimum of 2 Yuanbao each, the Overlord Dao Sword is worth approximately 1000 Yuanbao.

The same goes for legendary weapons and clothes. They need to be synthesized with a dominant weapon and 600 creative gems, so the price of a legendary weapon is about 2200 yuan.

Up to the 5th level of Legendary Equipment, whether it's jewelry, weapons, or clothing, you can craft them using Creative Gems. However, at the 6th level of Passionate Equipment, things are different, and rare gems need to be added.

For example, a hot-blooded weapon requires a legendary weapon, 800 creation stones, 2 hero gems, and 2 supreme gems to be synthesized. Therefore, the value of a hot-blooded weapon is tens of thousands, far exceeding that of a legendary weapon.

Hot-Blooded Jewelry can also be synthesized, requiring slightly fewer materials: the corresponding Legendary Jewelry, plus 500 Creation Stones, 1 Lucky Gem, and 1 Mayan Gem. However, since jewelry has a chance of being dropped by monsters, relatively few people synthesize jewelry.

"2200." The price continued to rise.

"2500."

"2600."

"2800 Yuanbao!" Zhantuo raised the price again.

After a fierce competition, ore No. 32 was finally bought by Zhantuo at a price of 2800 Yuanbao.

"Okay!" Zhan Tuo clenched his fist and raised his arm.

"Congratulations, big brother!" said Li Qing, Zhang Long and others.

"Haha~ It's too early to congratulate now. Wait until the hot-blooded weapons are released."

The envoy from the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm glanced at Zhan Tuo indifferently, still looking as if he didn't want to buy, and continued to preside over the auction of the next item.

"Why does the secret realm envoy look unhappy after selling the ore?" Brook asked curiously.

"Originally, the imperial mausoleum ore was privately owned by Wolong Villa, and all the treasures dug out belonged to Wolong Villa. Later, due to pressure from the empire and major families, we were not allowed to sell these ores to the outside world. It was equivalent to us robbing their rare equipment, and of course they would not be happy." Zhan Tuo explained.

"I see," Brooke understood. For aristocratic families or Wolong Villa, gold ingots were valuable, but rare equipment that couldn't be bought with money was even more valuable.

Soon we arrived at ore No. 45, which contained a legendary magic ring. Its value was half of the legendary weapon, with a market price of about 1000 yuan.

The auction price quickly broke through 1500 Yuanbao, and bidding would only result in a loss. Naturally, Brook would not join the auction.

Ore No. 68, containing a blessed gem, was auctioned for 1400 Yuanbao. With no profit to be made, Brook remained silent, waiting quietly.

"Ore No. 88, please make an offer if you are interested!" said the envoy from the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum.

Ore No. 88 is a stick-shaped ore with spikes.

"2000!" Someone shouted a high price at the beginning.

"2300!"

"2800!"

"4000!"

"5000!"

There were many people interested, and the scene suddenly became intense.

"8000!"

"1 million!"

"1!"

"1!"

"2 million!"

"Tuoba Shengwei, are you really that optimistic about this ore?"

"That's right. Murong Yulin, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. What you can guess, I can guess as well. This ore may contain a fallen divine weapon!"

"Okay, okay! I'll give you 2 gold coins! I want to see if you can dig out the fallen divine weapon!" Murong Yulin hesitated for a moment, but still chose to give up.

Now that Tuoba Shengwei had revealed the truth, there was no point in raising the price, as the other party would definitely follow suit. The key point was that 2 ingots of gold exceeded his expectations. It was just a possibility, not a certainty.

Tuoba Shengwei was secretly pleased with himself. He had deliberately revealed the truth; otherwise, the price would have gone up, which would have been of no benefit to him.

Soon, the first batch of 100 pieces of ore were auctioned off.

"Those who have purchased ore, please enter the venue."

Dozens of people came in one after another. Some people bid several pieces, such as Zhantuo, who bid two pieces.

Anyone who buys the ore will have guards from Wolong Villa come forward to collect the gold ingots and give them a special hoe for digging for treasure.

This treasure hoe, specially crafted by Wolong Villa, is perfect for digging for secret ores. It can be used slowly or instantly crushed without damaging the items inside, making it incredibly useful. However, it's a one-time, bound item. Once excavated, it becomes bound to the ore, and if the ore shatters, the treasure hoe will also shatter.

Someone has already wielded his precious hoe to dig for ore.

A yellow light burst out from Ore No. 1. This was caused by the equipment being sealed in the ore for too long and suddenly being opened, causing the magic power to leak out instantly. It lasted for 2 seconds and then disappeared.

"Yellow light! It's a pity that it lasts too short. It should be Taurus equipment." People around were discussing.

As expected, the No. 1 ore only yielded a Taurus Helmet, worth 50 Yuanbao. The cultivator who obtained the No. 1 ore looked dejected, having lost 1200 Yuanbao.

But he turned around and looked at the people next to him, and he felt relieved instantly.

Ore No. 2, a Creation Stone was dug out.

Ore No. 3, dug out an experience scroll.

Ore No. 4, 2000 Shenlong Coins.

Ore No. 5, and there was nothing at all! The recipient looked dejected.

"Haha~ I'm dying of laughter! Instead of buying ore, I would rather see the expressions of others who spend a lot of money to buy it and then find out that they have nothing when they open the ore. It's really wonderful!" I heard people around laughing.

"Look, white light! The Dominant Demon Sword. This time it's not bad, I can break even."

"Yellow Mang again, Taurus Battle Suit. What a loss."

"No. 45 has a legendary piece of equipment! It's a legendary ring, what a pity. This person seems to have spent 1500 yuan to buy it, but still lost money."

"Number 68 has a blessed gem!"

People have been digging up equipment one after another.

Zhantuo dug very slowly. He had his eye on ore No. 32, which he thought might contain a hot-blooded weapon, but in the end, he only unearthed a Fire Dragon Sword, worth 20 Yuanbao. And another ore No. 1200, which he had bought for 66 Yuanbao, turned out to be empty, with nothing at all.

Zhantuo walked back with a stern face.

"Don't be discouraged, brother, there will be opportunities later!"

"I'll make my money back by just getting any hot-blooded equipment later!"

"Come on, big brother, we believe in you!"

The younger brothers came forward to encourage him.

"It is indeed a red weapon. But it is a fire dragon..." Zhan Tuo said with a wry smile.

"Brother Zhan has good vision, just a little bit short." Brook comforted.

"Hey~ Let's try the next batch. Brook, why don't you buy some for fun?" Zhan Tuo asked.

"I'm short on money lately. I only have 4000 Yuanbao with me. I'm really broke."

"Then I should be able to buy one or two."

"Well, I'll take a look later."

Only ore No. 88 remained unopened. Tuoba Shengwei seemed disinclined to join others in treasure hunting. He waited until most of the people in the field had left before swinging his hoe at the stick-shaped ore.

The ore was dug up a little, revealing a corner of the item inside.

There is no dazzling light. However, not all treasures emit light.

Dark metallic sheen, cylindrical stick-shaped handle. It's a good idea!

Tuoba Shengwei couldn't help but get excited!

Murong Yulin, watching from afar, was also on edge, his heart in his throat. If it was truly a fallen divine weapon, he would have to break his thigh.

"Crack~Crack~" The treasure hoe was swung continuously, and finally all the ore was crushed into pieces, revealing the true appearance of the items inside!

Rod of Judgment!

A level 30 warrior weapon. Worthless in the Dragon Empire.

Tuoba Shengwei's mood plummeted, while Murong Yulin clapped his hands and laughed.

"Congratulations, Brother Sheng Wei! You got a Staff of Judgment for 2 yuan in treasure. This must be the most expensive Staff of Judgment in the history of the Dragon Empire. It is very worth collecting!" Murong Yulin teased.

Tuoba Shengwei was very unhappy, but on the surface he still pretended not to care. He snorted coldly and replied, "A mere 2 gold coins, it doesn't matter!"

"I really thought it was a fallen divine weapon just now!"

"The Desolate Divine Weapon and the Staff of Judgment look almost identical. Such a huge ups and downs, what a shame!"

Everyone was talking about it.

"When you gamble on treasure, it's either a moment of heaven or a moment of hell! What we're betting on is the excitement!" Zhan Tuo said excitedly.
