228- Damaged Golden Armor

“I am sure that many of the people sitting here are aware of Formations and Arrays.”

“And you might also know that the higher the grade of Formation and Array, the bigger they are and more complex they get.”

“And people who specialize in the field of Formations and Array are called as Formation and Array Guru.”

“And on this brown crystal, a high grade array is drawn by an expert Array Guru.”

“Due to the effects of time, we are not able to determine the grade of Array engraved on this crystal, but we are well aware of the function of the Array.”

Seeing that everyone was looking at her eagerly for the answer, she smiled and continued,

“The array engraved on the brown crystal is a kind of array which forms a barrier around the one who wears this golden armor and protects from enemy attacks.”

Hearing this everyone was surprised and looked incredulously at the golden armor.

Although, more than a quarter of people attending the auction bought the catalog, which has the total list of items appearing on today’s auction, but the auction house will not publish all the details of certain items because they want to make their customers interested in the auction and build a kind of suspense which would result in good profits.

And in the catalog, very few details about the golden armor are mentioned, so listening to Liza Dohm’s words, everyone in the auction hall looked like they came across something unique and amazing.

Liza Dohm:

“First let me tell you about the brown crystal, that is embedded at the center of the golden armor.”

“The brown crystal is very unique crystal found in nature. And it has the ability to store a large amount of Spiritual Qi within it.”

“If a person wears this golden armor, then if he or she is attacked, a protective barrier is formed around the person and it protects him or her from attacks.”

“I am sure that you understand that how important it is for a cultivator to possess life saving and protection items.”

“So, this Golden Armor is a must have for every cultivator.”

As soon as her voice fell, someone from the crowd asked,

“Miss Liza, could you tell us how much energy does it require for the protective barrier to activate and how effective the barrier is? I mean, how strong the protective barrier is?”

Hearing this, Liza Dohm answered truthfully,

“Like I said, in its heyday, the golden armor was an Orange grade Level 7 or higher grade defensive artifact, but due to the number of battles that the golden armor has gone through and also due to the effect of time, the golden armor’s grade has fallen to Red Grade Level 4.”

“So, just the defensive power of the golden armor is enough to withstand full power attacks of a ‘Human stage Level 8 and Human stage Level 9’ cultivator.”

“As for the protective barrier generated when the array on the brown crystal gets activated, it can withstand full power attacks of a peak Human stage cultivator.”

Hearing this, a wave of discussion broke among the crowd.

“Wow... this golden armor is truly amazing.”

“Yes, even without the protective barrier, it can defend against Human stage Cultivators.”

“And if the protective barrier is activated, then it can defend against a peak Human stage cultivator. Then doesn’t it mean that, whoever owns this golden armor, can walk fearlessly even faced against Human stage cultivators?”

“Yes, unless that person’s luck is not good and he/she comes across those with higher cultivation than Human stage, then one can truly live a carefree life and act unscrupulously.”

“Sigh, unfortunately, we cannot even dream of owning such treasure.”

“Yes, because we don’t even have that much money to buy this golden armor, and I am sure that those people sitting in the VIP rooms will even sell their savings and property to get this golden armor at any cost.”

“Sigh, I wonder which one of these rich people will get their hands on the golden armor.”

“Miss Liza, you still haven’t told us how much energy it requires for the activation of the protective barrier?”

As soon as this was said, everyone focused on this because they finally remembered that Liza Dohm has not yet answered this and everyone is extremely curious about it.

Hearing this question, Liza Dohm answered,

“Yes, I was just about to answer this.”

“As I said, this brown crystal can store a large amount of spiritual qi. And the amount of spiritual qi it can store is equal to the spiritual qi contained in hundred thousand Low grade energy stones.”

“Hiss...”

Hearing this number, everyone sucked in a cold breath.

Liza Dohm continued,

“And of course, when the brown crystal is completely filled with spiritual qi, it can generate a protective barrier strong enough to resist the full power attacks of a peak Human stage cultivator.”

Seeing everyone faces, Liza Dohm continued,

“I understand that everyone here might feel that this golden armor is like a bottomless pit and it is very unwise to buy this golden armor and spend so many Low grade energy stones.”

“But let me inform other functions of the array engraved on this brown crystal.”

“The array engraved on this brown crystal not only generates a protective barrier, but it also has the function of absorbing spiritual qi directly from the environment.”

Hearing this many people’s faces showed a surprised expression.

“Yes, you heard it correctly, one of the functions of the array is to absorb spiritual qi from the surroundings.”

“If you can supply a certain amount of spiritual qi, about 100 low grade energy stones worth spiritual qi to the brown crystal, the array gets activated and it starts to absorb spiritual qi from the surroundings.”

“Of course, it doesn’t have to be only a low grade energy crystal, if a Human stage cultivator supplies a small amount of his own spiritual qi to the brown crystal, it still works.”

“And once the array is activated, you have to place the golden armor in an environment with good spiritual qi concentration.”

“For example, if the golden armor is placed in the town of Chans, so based on the spiritual qi concentration available in this town, it will take about 30-35 months for the brown crystal to be completely filled.”

Hearing this, few people felt that the time period is very long. But without waiting for anyone to ask, Liza Dohm continued,

“I know that everyone here feels that 30-35 months is a very long period of time, but everyone please understand that the amount of spiritual qi contained in Hundred thousand Low grade energy stones is not a small amount.”

“And the concentration of Spiritual Qi in this town is also very low. But if placed in places like the Capital City or the Kingdoms, the time period will decrease.”

“But I have another thing to report to everyone.”

“For the array to generate a protective barrier, the brown crystal doesn’t have to be full.”

“If Spiritual qi worth a thousand low grade energy stones, is supplied to the brown crystal, it is enough for the array to generate a protective barrier.”

“But of course, the barrier will have weaker defensive power and it can only withstand full power attacks of a Human stage Level 1 cultivator.”

Hearing this, everyone had different opinions about the golden armor.

Some felt that this cost is enough if it can protect one’s life.

While some felt that activating the array is very costly.

Then Liza Dohm continued to tell a few more things about the golden armor.

.

Orochi, who was sitting in his room, was closely observing the golden armor through the ‘Object Magnifying Glass’.

Even before Liza Dohm released all the details about the golden armor, Orochi knew every detail about it. Actually, he knew much more about the golden armor than compared to Liza Dohm.
