The lively scene left Chu Xiu somewhat surprised, and he gained a clearer understanding of the value of the Ascension Sequence.

"With my ranking in the top thousand of the Ascension Sequence, it’s probably only slightly less valuable than Mythical Equipment."

Of course, it still couldn’t compare to a complete piece of Mythical Equipment. After all, many strong individuals, like Chu Xiu, were proud and unwilling to give up their Profession and Talent. Many others advanced their sequence by trading with the Gods in the Abyss.

Tier 657 could only satisfy Ordinary Heroic Spirits. The talented ones among them, those SS or even SSS Professionals, would only consider something in the top five hundred.

With his decision made, once everyone had presented almost all the materials to Chu Xiu for review, he named his price.

He gently extended his finger, pointing to three items.

Yellow Springs Nether Fire, Meteor Divine Iron, and Overclocking Core.

"Anyone who can gather all three items can directly trade for this Ascension Sequence; first come, first served."

"However, if you only have the first two, you must offer additional items, and the higher bidder wins."

"Similar materials can also be used as substitutes, but will require an extra cost."

The Overclocking Core aside, the Yellow Springs Nether Fire and Meteor Divine Iron were the most suitable main materials he had discovered, potentially raising the tier of the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array and the Four Symbols Yin Yang Furnace to the Upper Three Grades!

Unfortunately, as Chu Xiu finished speaking, the crowd grew much quieter.

The reason being, Chu Xiu’s asking price was too high, scaring off the majority immediately.

Any one of these three items was worth over 200 billion, especially the first two, which could serve as the main materials for Mythical Equipment! What’s more, they’re commonly used in essential equipment like Armor and weapons! Even three or four billion wouldn’t be enough!

Although these Heroic Spirits yearned for the Ascension Sequence, none were willing to be exploited.

If they could unite, they might press Chu Xiu for a lower price, but the lure of the Ascension Sequence was too tempting, and they dared not risk it.

Soon, the Heroic Spirits swiftly exchanged sound transmissions among themselves, and through bargaining and mutual benefit, they finally reached a compromise.

Zhao Jie stepped forward and said, "I can offer you the first two items, but that’s my limit."

Jiang Lingfu watched from the side, his eyes filled with regret but said nothing.

Chu Xiu understood; they had reached an agreement in advance to avoid bidding wars.

This amused him somewhat. Before, he was pleased with joining a small group of Heroic Spirits to avoid being outbid at the trade fair, yet the same situation ended up happening to him.

Still, he didn’t say much, knowing that Heroic Spirits are shrewd people who wouldn’t let him off easily, unlike when he tricked those high school students like Shen Zhuo upon first entering the Abyss.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but feel nostalgic, wondering how those people were doing now, along with Zhang Qingshan. Communication between Mars and Blue Star was troublesome, and he hadn’t heard from him in a long time. After training with the army for three months, who knows how he fares now.

Shaking his head, he dismissed these thoughts and said, "Deal."

With a sweeping gesture, the Ascension Sequence flew out, completing the trade on the spot.

Next, he turned to Sun Shangwu and asked, "Do you still wish to sell your Overclocking Core?"

Sun Shangwu was slightly startled and hesitated before replying, "This Overclocking Core isn’t mine; it belongs to a good brother from my Martial Extreme Guild. Without a suitable offer, it probably won’t be easily sold."

Without wasting words, Chu Xiu raised his hand, and two Artifacts appeared before him.

Evil Eye Buddhist Scripture (Taboo), Palm Buddha Tower (Taboo).

"How about exchanging them for a Forbidden Object?" Chu Xiu inquired.

Seeing that Chu Xiu even had Forbidden Objects, there was a commotion below, but after some inner turmoil, the large man still shook his head.

"How about the others?" he asked again.

Unfortunately, practically no one was interested.

No choice, as Chu Xiu didn’t want to handle Forbidden Objects, likewise did others.

Feeling a bit regretful, Chu Xiu thought it seemed he would have to wait until later to refine this piece of Mythical Equipment.

The good thing was that the Overclocking Core could serve as a core component in Mechanician War Machines. Though it was extremely valuable, it wasn’t as difficult to find as the other two materials.

Besides, his goals for this trip were already achieved, and he was satisfied. After the trade fair concluded, Chu Xiu bid farewell to everyone and went alone to a quiet place outside.

He had spent so many resources over the past half-year, and now it was finally harvest time!
