The reason was for it was simple—the uncommon mineral resources from the secret treasure map weren't located in a good place. The surrounding environment was filled with formidable vicious and even giant beasts. It thus was the reason for the disparity in price between the two treasure maps.
As for the four treasure maps containing the information about spirit ingredients, they were sold for six million in total. Each map had averaged to one million five hundred thousand.
But even so, the profits from the auction surpassed Li Yunmu's expectations by far.
He had obtained thirty one million six hundred thousand pangu sacred coins, and given Pangu City's conversion rate, it was tantamount to thirty one million six hundred thousand tons of food grain.
The sacred pangu coins created by the Pangu had the price of one ton of grain as the lowest unit. As the price of grain changed in the Origin World, the conversion rate of sacred pangu coins also changed.
If the thirty one million six hundred thousand sacred pangu coins were changed to contribution points used between human cultivators, the conversion would result in close to twenty million points.
After deducting the ten percent service change, Li Yunmu would have close to seventeen million contribution points once he converted his gains. If he combined it with the thirty five million contribution points obtained from selling the numerous weapons and other resources from the treasury of Black Spirit Valley, his wealth would easily surpass fifty million.
In fact, the exact amount would be fifty-three million contribution points.
What sort of enormous wealth was this?
The price of a flux binding pill was three hundred contribution points, making it extremely hard for the ordinary cultivators to cultivate by using them. Yet with the amount of contribution points Li Yunmu now possessed, he could buy eighteen thousand flux binding pills.
Assuming that a flux expert required three hundred flux binding pills to cultivate to great flux expert realm, his enormous amount of contribution points would be enough to nurture five hundred eighty-eight great flux experts.
What did this wealth signify?
Under ordinary circumstances, even if a third tier power had pretty good comprehensive strength, the number of great flux experts it could nurture wouldn't surpass thirty on a good day.
If the number of great flux experts surpassed one hundred, this reserve power would rise like a pillar of light in the darkness. It would be enough for the third tier power to pass the threshold to become a second tier sect.
Blue Moon Island which Li Yunmu had infiltrated previously had been a third tier power, and it had only had twenty something great flux experts.
But once Li Yunmu changed the objects from the treasury of Black Spirit Valley to wealth, his riches already far surpassed the amount of wealth in the hands of a third tier power.
This once again confirmed Li Yunmu's idea that Black Spirit Valley, which was a third tier power in a corner of the world, had definitely obtained and excavated some precious minerals. Otherwise, how could they have amassed such an enormous amount of treasures in their treasury. It had even gotten hold of unique treasures such as the red god fruit as well as one of the three divine artifacts created by the master refiner of Deus.
But all of this wasn't important to Li Yunmu. He also wasn't idle enough to go and investigate what sort of happy encounter had Black Spirit Valley encountered.
All he cared about was that all those objects had fallen into his hands.
After the nine secret treasure maps had been auctioned, other buyers also auctioned all sorts of objects from all around the Origin World.
The products brought by some alien races were often things which Li Yunmu hadn't heard of or seen in his life. The auction had truly broadened his horizons.
If he wasn't forced to control his urge to bid so as to save money for the final item, the true armor, he would have made a dozen bids long ago.
"Next, this item was brought by our guest from Heavenly Cats. It is a spirit grade breeding egg of ab unknown beast from serpent class. After several authentications, this breeding egg was ascertained to belong to spirit grade. Alright, it has the base price of eight million sacred pangu coins. An increase cannot be smaller than a hundred thousand. The auction begins."
After his words, a female Pangu warrior on the stage lifted up a red cloth from the item in her hands and revealed an egg flickering mildly.
When Li Yunmu saw the unknown serpent class egg which was at least spirit grade or higher, he was incomparably astonished.
It has to be known that it was an egg which was supposed to be spirit grade or higher. For a long time, Li Yunmu had wanted a beast which could act as his mount.
After all, the Origin World was vast. Even if there were teleport channels which made movement between distant regions more convenient, it wasn't the same as having a personal mount. Constant teleportations were very time-consuming, and he'd only be able to go to places which had the necessary infrastructure.
After all, the teleport channels were only in the most important places. It was impossible to lay them down everywhere. Thus, if cultivators possessed a mount with great endurance and extremely fast speed, it would be very beneficial for them.
When Li Yunmu's strength was low and before he had entered the great flux expert realm, he hadn't been impatient to fulfill this need. But once his strength increased to the level at which he could be counted among the powerhouses of the Origin World, he became increasingly more aware that he had to come into possession of a mount or combat beast of his own.
But he didn't forget his main goal for coming to the auction, and as always in the past, he continued to endure his urge to bid.
However, while Li Yunmu was thinking in this manner, it didn't mean that others would also do so. It has to be known that it was the egg of a spirit grade beast.
If it hatched successfully, it would mean that the unknown serpent egg could mature and become a devil grade beast at the least. In terms of human strength, this was equivalent to sage flux experts.
This was an extremely rare treasure which could only be encountered once in a hundred years, and the heartbeat of many genuine powerhouses sped up.
Although the price of eight million sacred pangu coins was very high, it was unable to stop the genuine powerhouses from bidding.
Soon, the bid for the unknown serpent egg rose up, and before long, it reached an astonishing level.
"Thirteen million, going once—"
Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, a person under the stage raised their peddle and said indifferently, "Fifteen million."
The sudden jump of two million instantly caused even people like Li Yunmu whose minds weren't on the bidding to snap to attention and concentrate on the auction.
"It's her again, one of the Sound women. "
Li Yunmu shook his head, and a hint of bitterness appeared in his heart. If the two weren't from one of the races which were used by Deus to produce offspring...
