Chapter 1019: Rainbow Gold

TL: GoldenLung

Celestial Dragon Planet was incredibly resource-rich. If given the right opportunities, Bai Xiuxiu would undoubtedly be able to become a Dragon Knight. With her dual attributes, she might not even need to compete for the position. If she belonged to the same faction as him, then it would be well worth forming a close relationship. No one understood better than Huang Yuanlang what it meant to be a Dragon Knight.

The eighteen Dragon Knights of Celestial Dragon Planet represented the most formidable force on the planet, comparable even to a space fleet.

Bai Xiuxiu said, “How about this? For every question you ask me, you have to bid on an auction item and gift it to me. I just love those shiny stones. Otherwise, don’t even think about asking.”

“No problem.” Huang Yuanlang agreed without hesitation. Bai Xiuxiu’s appearance had captivated him at first sight. He was more than willing to give her gifts, especially since this was also an opportunity to build a good relationship with a fellow Higher Dragon endorsed with dual attributes who had yet to fully grow into her potential. It was a win-win situation. His father was the Lord of Fenglong City, and money was the last thing they lacked.

“Alright, since you just helped me win the bid for the Magic Silver, I’ll let you ask one question.” Bai Xiuxiu said with a smile.

Standing behind her, Lan Xuanyu and his team secretly gave her a thumbs-up. Xiuxiu was truly clever—this way, she could gradually reveal details about her background while also gaining benefits.

“Xiuxiu, my dear sister, my first question is: Where do your dual attributes come from?” Huang Yuanlang asked.

Bai Xiuxiu replied, “Born this way.”

Huang Yuanlang’s heart trembled, and he inhaled sharply. A naturally born dual-attribute being? He had never heard of such a thing before!

“Place a bid.” Huang Yuanlang gestured toward the auction stage.

At that moment, the second auction item was already up for bidding. Bai Xiuxiu glanced at it—it was a piece of titanium crystal. She found it amusing because wasn’t this the exact same piece they had won from the betting area that afternoon?

“You’re asking me to bid on my own item? No, I don’t want this one.”

By then, the titanium crystal’s price had already reached 800,000 Dragon Horse coins.

The first auction item, Magic Silver, had a low unit price but was in large quantity and served as a way to kick off the auction, resulting in a high total price. As the second item, the titanium crystal wasn’t as highly valued.

“No rush, we’ll wait for the next one then.” Huang Yuanlang actually hoped Bai Xiuxiu would ask for more items so he could ask her more questions.

In the end, the titanium crystal sold for 960,000 Dragon Horse coins. The Blackbeard Clan didn’t seem to lose much, but the issue was that they still had to pay the Mining Exchange Center. Since they had misjudged the crystal’s value, the Mining Exchange Center was technically the one that had suffered losses. Thus, the auction proceeds all went to the exchange center, and the Blackbeard Clan suffered a direct loss of 1 million Dragon Horse coins.

“The next auction item is something I believe many distinguished guests will be interested in. It’s a specialty of my clan—the Rainbow Gold from Prism Feathern Star. I don’t need to introduce this, do I? It’s the most versatile metal, containing seven elemental attributes, making it the perfect medium for various energy applications. Even on Prism Feathern Star, its production is limited. More importantly, this is the raw material for the most beloved jewelry among women in the Dragon Horse Galaxy. Many high-end accessories are crafted from Rainbow Gold. The elemental energy nurtured by these seven elements benefits many different species. We have a total of 100 kilograms available today, starting at 800,000 Dragon Horse coins, with a minimum bid increment of 50,000.”

On the auction stage, a piece of velvet was lifted, revealing the auction item underneath—a square block of Rainbow Gold, displaying seven vibrant hues: blue, red, yellow, green, gold, silver, and black. It was dazzlingly beautiful.

Lan Xuanyu’s heart instantly started racing. Even from a distance, with his elemental sensitivity, he could clearly perceive the presence of water, fire, earth, wind, light, space, and darkness within the metal. These elements coexisted harmoniously and complemented one another.

Such a metal actually existed? He had never even heard of Rainbow Gold before, and there was no record of it in the Douluo Federation. But for him, this metal’s significance was beyond question. He was already guessing that the first seven abilities of his Silver-Patterned Blue Silver Grass matched exactly these seven elements!

Rainbow Gold might not be useful to others, but to Lan Xuanyu and Guyue Na, it was absolutely perfect—an ideal match. Although he hadn’t had time to forge recently, he needed to start preparing the metal for his Three-Word Battle Armor. And this time, he wasn’t going to forge for his teammates first—he would prioritize himself.

During his last breakthrough, he had realized that since his Battle Armor had completely merged with him, the armor significantly enhanced his endurance and resilience. It allowed him to better withstand the impact of his bloodline power.

Breaking through to five-ring had already been incredibly difficult, nearly depleting the energy from the artificial Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. What kind of challenge would the sixth ring pose? This was why he had to be fully prepared with his Three-Word Battle Armor. With his current cultivation level and his Spirit Domain Realm mental strength, fusing with Three-Word Battle Armor was no problem at all.

Although he deeply desired the Rainbow Gold, he said nothing at this moment—because he didn’t need to.

“This one looks nice, bid on this for me,” Bai Xiuxiu said brightly to Huang Yuanlang.

“Sure! But while Rainbow Gold is beautiful, it’s not very practical,” Huang Yuanlang reminded her. To him, it was among the lower-valued items in today’s auction, but he still offered the reminder to impress her.

“You’re talking about practicality to a girl?” Bai Xiuxiu scoffed.

“I get it now.” Huang Yuanlang took the bidding device from Bai Xiuxiu and placed a bid.

“Private Room No. 1 bids one million.” On stage, Yicai remained expressionless, but inwardly, she was surprised. What was going on with the Young City Lord today? He was bidding left and right.

A strange scene unfolded: after Huang Yuanlang’s bid, the auction hall fell into complete silence. No one competed against him.

Curious, Bai Xiuxiu asked, “Why isn’t anyone bidding?”

Huang Yuanlang smiled slightly and said casually, “Because they know what Private Room No. 1 represents.”

Lan Xuanyu, standing behind them, suddenly understood. Celestial Dragon Planet was fundamentally different from the Douluo Federation—its hierarchy was strict and unmistakable. Huang Yuanlang was at the very top of this hierarchy. Who would dare challenge him? Once he placed a bid, no one else dared to compete.

One million Dragon Horse coins secured the Rainbow Gold.

“You may ask your question now.” Bai Xiuxiu finally gave Huang Yuanlang a smile. Seeing her breathtaking expression, his heart pounded faster. She was the most beautiful Higher Dragon in human form he had ever seen.

Moreover, he had already seen footage from the betting area and knew about Bai Xiuxiu’s dragon form—it was even more stunning. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed over so eagerly. After all, he was becoming increasingly fond of his own humanoid form.

“So, I’d like to know which family you belong to,” Huang Yuanlang asked with a smile. This was also an important question for him.

Bai Xiuxiu gave a sly smile. “None of them. Is such a dumb question really worth a million Dragon Horse coins?”

Huang Yuanlang was stunned. “You’re not lying to me, are you?”

Bai Xiuxiu proudly replied, “Do you think I would lie?”

Realizing his mistake, Huang Yuanlang quickly apologized, “Forgive me, dear sister, that was rude of me. As a Higher Dragon, of course, you wouldn’t lie. But if you don’t belong to any family, then where exactly are you from?”
