Due to the Book of Undying's appearance, everyone's eyes glowed with excitement.
Although they couldn't read the Book of Undying's data like they could in God's Domain, the powers behind these people were still existences that could rival first-rate Guilds. Their insight and experience far surpassed God's Domain's independent players.
"As expected of the Secret Pavilion! The first item it's auctioned is already so amazing!"
The various major powers began to discuss the Book of Undying that the Secret Pavilion had revealed. Yuan Tiexin was very satisfied with the various major powers' reaction. This was the kind of impact he had been aiming for.
"I'm sure everyone has already seen how special this Book of Undying is. Out of consideration for the buyer, I won't talk about its Attributes. Instead, I'll talk about the book's general Attributes. This ancient book itself is a Dark-Gold item. Although it is only a Dark-Gold item, it is a super-rare item that can resurrect the dead. When used on players, the resurrection penalty can be reduced significantly. It can also be used on NPCs. I'm sure you all understand the true value of this ancient book," Yuan Tiexin explained.
Everyone's eyes burned with passion when they heard this. The various superpowers' representatives, in particular, felt their blood pressure rise.
The resurrection effect was only so-so. After all, there were still tools and Skills that reduced the death penalty in God's Domain.
However, reviving NPCs was a different matter altogether.
This was especially true for powers with powerful NPC Personal Guards. Although they had other methods to resurrect their Personal Guards, these methods weren't easy to accomplish. Moreover, they had to pay a hefty price to do so. Normally, these powers wouldn't dare risk their NPC Personal Guards.
However, the Book of Undying was a Dark-Gold item. Unlike tools that could be used only once, it could be used countless times. In other words, with this item, one could resurrect their NPC Personal Guards without worrying about their deaths. The book's effects were even stronger than those of an Epic item.
"I'll get straight to the point! The starting bid is 1,000 Gold! Each increment must be no less than 50 Gold! In addition, this item cannot be bid using Credits! "Yuan Tiexin shouted.
The instant Yuan Tiexin finished speaking, one bid after another rang out.
"1,500 Gold!"
"2,000 Gold!"
"2,500 Gold!"
…
Very quickly, the price rose to 5,000 Gold. The price had risen far faster than the various major powers had expected. Many first-rate Guilds were already starting to feel the pinch.
Although Guilds made a lot of money every day, running such a large Guild required a large amount of Coins and resources. The various major powers had gathered a lot of funds for this auction. Currently, first-rate Guilds would be lucky to have around 40,000 Gold on hand. They couldn't afford to spend all of their savings on a single item.
Moreover, the various major powers had come to this auction for their own reasons. They wanted to purchase the items that their Guilds currently lacked the most.
"8,000 Gold!"
Nine Dragons Emperor, who sat in one of the second-floor rooms, immediately raised the price by 3,000 Gold. Immediately, the various major powers in the first-floor hall fell silent.
It wasn't that the major forces on the first floor couldn't afford this amount of gold coins, but if they bought it, it would be troublesome if they didn't have enough gold coins to bid for the items they really needed.
"10000 gold!"
Less than two seconds after the 8,000 Gold bid was announced, Shi Feng from Room 8 placed an even higher bid.
"Who offered the price? How bold! That's enough to buy a piece of Epic Equipment! "
"The bidder seems to be the Ling YI Society!"
"This is insane! Isn't this only the first item?!"
The various major powers on the first floor could not help but turn to the second-floor rooms where the Shifeng sat. They were astonished by the Shifeng's generosity.
However, what they didn't know was that the Shifeng's understanding of the Book of Undying far surpassed that of the owner. They understood the book's value very well.
In terms of price, the Book of Undying Souls was only worth around 10,000 Gold, which could rival an Epic Weapon. For a Dark-Gold item, this was an astronomical price.
The Book of Undying was only worth this much because it was only a Dark-Gold item.
Although the Book of Undying Souls could resurrect NPCs, the definition of resurrection was very vague. This was also the key information the Secret Pavilion had hidden.
After all, it was only a Dark-Gold item. Although its Skill was heaven-defying, its effects were limited. It could only revive Tier 2 NPCs at most. It couldn't revive Tier 3 NPCs. Moreover, this applied to players as well. Otherwise, it would only be a Dark-Gold item.
This was why the Secret Pavilion had been willing to part with the Book of Undying Souls. Otherwise, only a fool would auction it.
The various major powers had most likely realized this as well. Hence, the various superpowers weren't very enthusiastic about bidding for the Book of Undying. If the Book of Undying was an Epic item, the various superpowers would've most likely fought over it by now. They might've even raised the price by three to five times.
Even so, the Book of Undying Souls was a pleasant surprise for the current Shifeng.
Although the Book of Undying Souls couldn't resurrect NPCs at Tier 3 or above, it was more than enough for the current Shifeng. At the very least, they could rely on Anna and Kite in the future without worrying about their deaths.
Nine Dragons Emperor immediately gave up on the Book of Undying. To him, the Book of Undying was just a small collection. It wouldn't be worth it to pay a higher price.
"10000 Gold going once!"
"10000 Gold going twice!"
Just as Yuan Tiexin was about to call out a third time to determine the final owner of the Book of Undying Souls, a new bid appeared in the auction hall.
"12000 Gold!"
Many people turned to look at the bidder in surprise. The bidder was none other than the Starline Corporation's Lu Xingluo.
"13000 Gold!" Shifeng announced a new bid.
Everyone was slightly surprised. They hadn't thought that the Shifeng would be so desperate. That was 13,000 Gold they were talking about. With that much money, one could purchase a good plot of Land in a capital city or an imperial capital.
"13500 Gold!"
"14000 Gold!"
"14500 Gold!"
However, as soon as the Shifeng announced a new bid, Lu Xingluo quickly outbid the Shifeng with a bid of 500 Gold. It was as if he were deliberately raising the price.
By the time the price reached 20,000 Gold, the various major powers were stupefied.
Spending 20,000 Gold for a Dark-Gold item was simply insane. With that much money, one could even construct a town.
"24000 Gold!" Shifeng didn't want to waste any more time in the bidding war. Immediately, he raised the price by 4,000 Gold.
This price made Yuan Tiexin's breathing grow heavy. This price had already exceeded his expectations by more than double.
"Forget it; I'm done playing with him. I don't want this item." Lu Xingluo smiled faintly as he stopped bidding.
After Lu Xingluo stopped bidding, the Book of Undying finally belonged to the Shifeng under Yuan Tiexin's hammer. Many people in the auction hall were shocked by the Ling YI Society's financial prowess. At the same time, they also mocked the Ling YI Society for spending 24,000 Gold on a single Dark-Gold item.
In reality, let alone the various major powers, even Shiuse Qiangwei and Gentle Snow felt that spending so much money on the Book of Undying wasn't worth it. After all, it was only a Dark-Gold item. Its Skill's effects were limited.
However, after Shifeng connected to God's Domain's Main God System with his quantum watch and paid the 24,000 Gold, the Secret Pavilion transferred the Book of Undying to him. At this moment, a bright smile appeared on Shifeng's face.
While the Book of Undying was indeed a Dark-Gold item, he knew a secret that not even the Secret Pavilion was aware of.
There wasn't just one Book of Undying. There were actually 13 books, and every one of them was a Dark-Gold item. They were all books written by the Undying, Danaxus.
Meanwhile, the Undying was an existence that even Tier 6 Gods couldn't kill. Hence, the Ancient Gods had sealed the Undying for eternity. Meanwhile, the Book of Undying contained all of the Undying's power. According to rumors, the Book of Undying was also a method the Undying left behind to revive himself.
How could such a powerful Undying possibly only produce a Dark-Gold item?
The Book of Undying's strength lay in its ability to fuse with other Books of Undying. Every time it fused with another Book of Undying, the Book of Undying would grow stronger. Only after fusing with all 13 Books of Undying could the Book of Undying display its true power. As for the Book of Undying's rank, even after ten years in God's Domain, nobody knew. However, most people guessed that it was a Legendary item.
After all, only ten Books of Undying had been discovered in God's Domain after ten years. At most, one Book of Undying had fused with three Books of Undying to become an Epic item.
Now that the Book of Undying had appeared, it wouldn't be a bad idea to collect it now. If he could collect three Books of Undying one day, the Book of Undying could be upgraded to Epic rank.
Following which, Yuan Tiexin began introducing the other auction items. However, these items paled in comparison to the Book of Undying. Moreover, the Book of Undying could be purchased with Credits.
However, Shi Feng had to admit that the Secret Pavilion had a wide variety of items for sale. There were even over 20 pieces of Level 50 Fine-Gold Equipment that increased Fire Resistance and over 50 pieces of Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment that increased Fire Resistance. In the end, Shifeng purchased all of these items for a total of 7,300 Gold. If not for Lu Xingluo raising the price from time to time, he could've purchased all of these items for just over 4,000 Gold.
Time passed quickly during the auction. By the time all of the ordinary items had been sold, more than a day had passed. Afterward, the Secret Pavilion held a friendly competition to determine the number of items the various superpowers could purchase for the finale. This competition allowed everyone, more or less, to gauge the standards of the various superpowers' new experts.
"Next, let's begin the auction for today's finale item." Yuan Tiexin glanced at the small rooms on the second floor. Chuckling, he said, "I believe that many of you have already seen this item before."
As soon as Yuan Tiexin finished speaking, several images appeared on the stage.
When these images appeared, they caused a commotion among the various superpowers present. Even the major corporations' representatives in the small rooms on the second floor were slightly envious.
