Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

TL: GoldenLung

According to the books they read, there were about one thousand to two thousand Higher Dragons, and the Celestial Dragon clan had less than a hundred members. Ordinary Higher Dragons could not transform into human form and would stay in their dragon form. However, it was not absolute, as some powerful Higher Dragons with pure dragon blood could also transform. 

There were eighteen Dragon Knights, each with their own record. Among the eighteen Dragon Knights, four were Higher Dragons, and the remaining fourteen were Celestial Dragon clans. 

Their mounts were all Higher Dragons without exception. Only the strongest Higher Dragons were eligible to become a Dragon Knight's mount. 

After this scene, Lan Xuanyu's understanding of Celestial Dragon Planet got deepened. 

The Blackbeard clan did not make them wait too long, and soon, along with the ore they had received earlier, the dragon-horse gold coins were delivered to them. There were more than one million dragon-horse gold coins, which filled a whole box. It was handed to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu took the item in his hand and walked out. The Lower Dragon looked at him hesitantly, as if wanting to ask something, but ultimately remained silent. Bai Xiuxiu's shock had been too strong for him.

That was a Higher Dragon who could transform into a human form! Among all Higher Dragons, there were no more than a hundred of these, almost the same as the number of Celestial Dragon Clan members. Their status was not inferior to that of a Celestial Dragon, after all, they were all potential future Dragon Knights.

"May I ask if there have been any large-scale auctions recently?" Lan Xuanyu asked the Lower Dragon.

The Lower Dragon was stunned for a moment and hurriedly replied, "Yes, tonight, tonight there is one. Would the esteemed Higher Dragon have time to attend our auction?"

Lan Xuanyu said, "She should have time. My lady is very interested in the auctions here."

"That's great. Please wait a moment, I'll get you the invitation letter," said the Lower Dragon as he walked away with a "thud thud thud" pace. In a moment, he came back with a stack of invitation letters, including one that was golden in color, which he handed to Lan Xuanyu and said, "You must invite the elders to come! We have many good things at our auction today." As he spoke, he also pulled out a stack of dragon horse coins and handed them to Lan Xuanyu.

Bribed? It turned out that bribery was also practiced in the Dragon Horse galaxy. Lan Xuanyu naturally accepted the dragon horse coins, which were quite a lot, several thousand at least. He was just a little puzzled as to why the Lower Dragon was so eager for Xiuxiu to attend the evening auction. Was there a special purpose? It didn't seem like a suspicion of identity, as the guy's eyes were so big and his intentions were too obvious. When he talked about Bai Xiuxiu, he showed sincere respect.

Lan Xuanyu said, "Definitely, definitely." With a pile of Dragon Horse gold coins, he returned to his residence. He opened the box and looked at the pile of money in front of him, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, this was nothing. The most precious things were not the ones they had sold before, but the few pieces of ore that Lan Xuanyu had stored in his Ring of Fate. One of them was a Space Origin Crystal. It was not big, only the size of a fist. But even such a small piece of Space Origin Crystal would be worth astronomical figures when taken back to the Federation.

Sleepy Bug didn't know when it would be able to produce Space Origin Crystals again, and now all the finished products of Space Origin Crystals, along with Planet Seventy-Six, would definitely become treasures worth astronomical figures. Prices would skyrocket.

In addition, among the other pieces, there were two large pieces of Magic Silver, as well as several rare and precious ores for the Douluo Federation.

Today's trip to the trading center could be said to be very fruitful. "I suddenly feel that Celestial Dragon Planet is a good place! Unfortunately, I can't turn into a dragon." Lan Mengqin looked at the pile of dragon horse coins in front of her, her eyes shining, even brighter than Qian Lei next to her.

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said, "Among the seven of us, only Xiuxiu's Martial Soul Avatar has the complete shape of a dragon. Frenzie has the White Dragon King Spear, not a pure dragon shape. I don't have a Martial Soul Avatar yet. I have already received the invitation letter for tonight's auction, and this money is our capital. Let's go to the auction tonight and see if there are any good things. However, judging from the situation of the Lower Dragon just now, he is very proactive in inviting us to participate in the auction, I don't know if there will be any problems. So Xiuxiu, you have to be careful tonight."

Bai Xiuxiu asked, "Can I change back to my human form? Higher dragons can all transform into humans, don't they? If I still look like a Blue Sea Clan member, won't they suspect me?" 

Lan Xuanyu thought for a moment and said, "That's possible. When we first met the Celestial Dragon, he was in human form. Tonight, you can appear as a human and see their reaction. Also, we need to create a background story for you. It may not matter for lower-ranked species, but if there are other Higher Dragons, they may question your origins." 

"Okay, Little Lan, I'll leave this small matter to you," Bai Xiuxiu said with a smile. 

Lan Xuanyu's facial muscles twitched, and the others laughed. 

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Lan Xuanyu's hands itched to embrace someone and play around. 

"It sounds good. Little Lan!"

Lan Xuanyu snorted and ignored her, turning to Tang Yuge, "Yuge, have you found anything?"

Tang Yuge nodded, "Yes. This place is very large. I've been sensing changes in the metal elements. There are very active metal elements underground. Tonight, when you go to the auction, I'll use my gold escape to explore and see if I can find their treasure trove or something. The warehouse in this mineral trading center must be very large, and it can't be hidden."

Lan Xuanyu said, "Just take the most expensive one and make sure to prioritize Space Origin Crystals."

"Okay," Tang Yuge replied.

Originally, there were several rare metals and energy minerals whose prices could rival the Space Origin Crystals, but with Planet Seventy-Six being destroyed, Space Origin Crystal had become extinct. It could be imagined that for a period of time in the future, the price of Space Origin Crystals would be the highest among all metals.

They were not only trying to make money through the transaction, but also trying to bring back as many resources as possible through other means. All of these were very important.

After the previous probing by Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Xuanyu felt that there was an even more important matter this time, which was to establish a high-level identity for Bai Xiuxiu. The story had to be made plausible.

As night fell, the entire Fenglong City became lively. The mineral trading center did not become deserted due to the late hour. On the contrary, the mineral trading center was the liveliest at night. Outside the trading center, a large screen lit up, and people from all races filled the area in front of the hundred-meter screen.

This was the broadcast of the auction. Every seven days, the trading center would hold an auction, auctioning off various resources and peculiar things.

As this was a mineral trading center, the things auctioned here were mainly related to minerals and energy. In order to enter the auction, a large deposit must be paid. Without a minimum of 300,000 dragon coins or a direct invitation from the auction, one could not be qualified to participate.

When Lan Xuanyu and his friends went to the gambling area today, they actually planned to participate in the auction to earn money for the entrance fee. However, they ended up being invited instead.

All invited bidders did not need to pay a deposit, as they were recognized by the organizers. The Dragon Clan was naturally recognized and did not even need an invitation.

The golden invitation letter that Lan Xuanyu received could serve as proof of eligibility for the auction room. On the second floor of the auction, there was a circle of private rooms that only the most noble and wealthy guests could have.
