Although semi extreme grade artifacts and peak upper grade artifacts didn't differ much in terms of grade, the price difference was more than ten times, and some even reached twenty times. Even among semi extreme grade artifacts, there was a huge difference in quality. Some rare semi extreme grade artifacts weren't any weaker than pseudo extreme grade artifacts, and their imitation targets were also famous extreme grade artifacts from ancient times.
Murong Qingcheng's goal in coming here was to find a pair of gloves that suited her. After all, compared to her cultivation and strength, her original gloves were a bit outdated. It would be fine if she fought against ordinary half step Kings, but if she encountered 'strongest' half step Kings, it would be hard to avoid suffering some losses.
Along the way, the two saw many semi extreme grade artifacts.
"Blowing Snow Glove, price three million upper grade spirit stones."
"Silver Snake Blade, price three million two hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones."
"Blood Flame Spear, price three million five hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones."
"Water Moon Sky Armor, price five million upper grade spirit stones."
In ancient times, there were many semi extreme grade artifacts, and some of them might not even be an imitation of an extreme grade artifact. The main reason was that the grade of the materials was somewhat low, making it impossible to make an extreme grade artifact. Even inferior artifacts couldn't be made, so they became semi extreme grade artifacts.
"Bone Eroding Evil Shadow (Glove), price six million upper grade spirit stones."
After walking for a long time, the two finally found a pair of gloves that looked good.
"Excuse me, can I have a look at this pair of gloves?"
Murong Qingcheng and Ye Chen walked over.
"Sure."
The seller was a robust middle-aged man. His cultivation base was not low, being at the peak of late Sea of Soul realm. However, facing Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng, who were both half step Kings, his cultivation base was not worth mentioning. He hurriedly took out the gloves and handed them over to Murong Qingcheng.
Taking the gloves, Murong Qingcheng sensed the soul imprint inside. It wasn't that someone had used it before, but rather a basic precaution in the marketplace. It was to prevent some customers from saying that the items belonged to them, which would not be a pleasant thing. Imprinting a soul imprint on an artifact for sale … This way, as long as one wasn't a Life and Death King, they wouldn't be able to erase the soul imprint in a short period of time.
Without one's own soul imprint, one wouldn't be able to bring out the artifact's full power. However, this was not a battle, but a test of the quality of the gloves.
Putting on the Bone Eroding Evil Shadow Glove, Murong Qingcheng clenched her fist slightly. All of a sudden, a huge amount of black qi poured out, twisting the space slightly. The surrounding environment was reflected inside, becoming blurry. Shoo! Reaching out her hand, Murong Qingcheng's right hand was like a steel blade, leaving a light claw mark in the air.
The middle-aged man held his breath. Without a doubt, Murong Qingcheng was a half-step King, and not an ordinary one at that. Although that attack just now wasn't aimed at him, he felt as if his soul was about to be pierced through. It was swift and tyrannical.
"Not good, it's only two to three grades higher than normal semi extreme rank gloves."
Murong Qingcheng shook her head and took off the gloves.
Ye Chen laughed, "No rush, I haven't finished the second floor yet."
The Bone Eroding Evil Shadow was a rare treasure for normal half step king warriors. Unfortunately, Murong Qingcheng needed better gloves. Even if they weren't pseudo extreme rank, they couldn't be too bad.
"You two don't want it?"
The middle-aged man took over the gloves and asked carefully.
Ye Chen waved his hand, "No need."
Hearing him, the middle-aged man sat back down. He didn't dare to throw a tantrum in front of two half step king warriors.
The second floor was finished. All in all, there were a lot of good items, but none of them could enter Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng's eyes. The two also didn't splurge to buy something they didn't need.
Third floor entrance …
Four peak Late Sea of Soul realm guards stood there, with a sign on the side that said, "Only half step king warriors are allowed to enter."
Without any obstruction, the two went up to the third floor.
Slightly squinting his eyes, Ye Chen encountered so many half step king warriors at the same place. There were at least forty to fifty half step king warriors on the third floor. Most of them were elders, followed by middle-aged warriors. There were only a few young warriors.
There were very few treasures for sale on the third floor. In total, there were only ten of them. Beside each treasure, there were four or five people surrounding it. There were two places with the most people. It seemed that the treasures for sale should be of the very high quality. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted so many people.
After a brief glance, the two of them flew past the first eight artifacts and arrived at the last two artifacts.
One of them was a semi extreme grade saber. Judging from its intense saber Qi, it didn't seem any weaker than a pseudo extreme grade artifact. Moreover, its price was also very high, reaching thirteen million upper grade spirit stones. How could most half step king warriors afford it? It was no wonder that everyone was looking at it without making up their minds to buy it.
"Can you make it a bit cheaper? I only have eight million upper grade spirit stones."
A burly man with a sturdy figure asked.
The owner was an old man. He shook his head, "You know this saber's might. I won't sell it for less than thirteen million. If you take it to the auction, the starting price will be at least five million. You might not be able to buy it for thirteen million upper grade spirit stones."
The tall and sturdy man became anxious, "Half step king warriors who use sabers might not have thirteen million upper grade spirit stones. If you take this saber to the auction, don't tell me you can sell it for thirteen million upper grade spirit stones? Moreover, don't forget that you have to pay five percent to the auction house."
"Then count it as my bad luck."
The old man was calm and collected.
"If you don't want to sell it, then forget it. I'll come back to buy it after the auction."
The tall and sturdy man studied the semi extreme grade saber a couple of times before turning to leave.
On the side, Ye Chen smiled, "Although this saber is a semi extreme grade artifact, its saber Qi is too intense. I'm afraid it's the best among the semi extreme grade artifacts. No wonder the owner offered thirteen million upper grade spirit stones for it."
"The artifacts here seem to be several times better than the semi extreme grade saber."
Murong Qingcheng looked in another direction.
"What is it?"
Ye Chen also looked over.
Inside the crystal counter, a gloomy shining armor floated in the air. Next to the armor was a sign, "Shadow Armor, pseudo extreme grade artifact. Price, thirty-three million upper grade spirit stones."
"Wow! It's actually a pseudo extreme grade armor!"
Among the treasures, defensive treasures were usually twice as expensive as offensive treasures. The Shadow Armor was sold for thirty-three million high-grade spirit stones. Although it was expensive, it was not too outrageous.
"Boss, this Shadow Armor is way too expensive, isn't it? A defensive artifact is twice as expensive as an offensive artifact. If it were an offensive artifact, wouldn't it be sixteen million and five hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones? It's a few million more than a normal pseudo extreme grade artifact."
A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes said with a frown.
The owner was also an old man in his seventies. He raised his head and said slowly, "This Shadow Armor of mine is different from normal pseudo extreme grade artifacts. You can't compare it to them."
"How is it different?"
The middle-aged man in luxurious clothes felt an itch in his heart. As a half step king, who wouldn't want a pseudo extreme grade defensive artifact? With a pseudo extreme grade defensive artifact, even those who were much more powerful than him would be exhausted to death. Even if he encountered a powerful enemy, he would still be able to escape.
"This Shadow Armor is fused with a small amount of Heavenly Star Stone. Heavenly Star Stone is a top grade ore that can only be found in the starry sky. It has a powerful force field. After fusing with Heavenly Star Stone and pouring Zhen Yuan into it, you can activate the Heavenly Star Force Field, which will increase your strength by a lot. It can save your life in many situations.
"Sky Star Stone!"
The crowd was shocked.
The Star Stone was an extremely rare treasure among the best quality materials. Normally, it could only be found in those fallen stars. If one could obtain a piece the size of a dragon's eye, it could be sold for a sky-high price, not to mention the armor made from a small portion of the Star Stone.
"But thirty-three million upper grade spirit stones … It's too expensive!"
The middle-aged man's eyes turned red.
The elder said slowly, "This Shadow Armor was supposed to be one of the most important items in this auction, but I have something urgent to do. That's why I'm selling it at a low price. Actually, my price is more than thirty-five million upper grade spirit stones, which you can't afford."
The middle-aged man was rendered speechless by the old man's words. 'That's right! A pseudo extreme grade artifact fused with Star Stones … Even some Life and Death Kings would be moved by it, not to mention them. Selling it for thirty-three million upper grade spirit stones is definitely worth it.'
"Murong Qingcheng, besides the glove, you're also lacking a pseudo extreme grade armor. Why don't you buy it? I think this Sky Star Force Field matches your Dark Force Field quite well. It might even have an amplifying effect." Ye Chen transmitted his voice to Murong Qingcheng.
Murong Qingcheng nodded. She pushed through the crowd and walked over, saying, "Boss, I want this Shadow Armor. Let me have a look."
"You want it?"
The elder looked at Murong Qingcheng in astonishment. Seeing that the other party was a very young and beautiful girl, his astonishment became even greater. Although thirty-three million upper grade spirit stones were not his price, he also knew that if the price was set too high, he wouldn't be able to sell it in a short period of time. He had something urgent to do and couldn't afford to delay. Even so, thirty-three million was not a small number, but a huge number. Gemstone Islands Auction House originally wanted to buy this Shadow Armor, but they were only willing to pay thirty million upper grade spirit stones.
"Not bad."
Murong Qingcheng's expression was calm.
"Alright."
The elder opened the crystal counter and took out the Shadow Armor, handing it over to Murong Qingcheng.
Receiving the armor, Murong Qingcheng held it with her left hand and placed her right hand on it. A faint purple-black electric current flickered in her palm.
Ye Chen's eyes turned sharp. He could clearly sense that there were two different force fields fusing together. However, because the time was too short, it was hard to notice without careful observation.
"I'll take it."
The corner of Murong Qingcheng's mouth curved. The Star Force Field could indeed fuse with the Dark Force Field and amplify it. For her, this Shadow Armor's value would increase by a few times. After all, her Warrior Force was not weak in the first place. With further amplification, it would be able to greatly affect the same level Half step Kings, greatly increasing her strength.
"Hehe, it's a pleasure working with you."
The elder revealed a smile. Finally, he could leave. Thirty-three million was a bit of a loss, but if he took it to the auction house, it would be around thirty-five to forty million at most. After deducting the five percent auction fee, it would not be a big loss.
"Wait!"
Right at this moment, a black skinny elder walked out of the third floor. His footsteps were like lightning as he quickly walked over and reached out his hand to take the Shadow Armor from Murong Qingcheng's hand.
Humph!
Ye Chen coldly snorted and blocked in front of Murong Qingcheng, slapping away the elder's hand.
"How dare you!"
The black skinny elder roared at Ye Chen.
