I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Fanxiya’s Blessing.

Han Zhan silently recited this name in his heart and nodded knowingly.

Their conversation was just a brief interlude.

The auction continued to take place as usual, with various items and materials being showcased, and the adventurers seated below bidding for them.

Han Zhan noticed that the quality of the items being auctioned was indeed superior to those at ordinary stalls outside.

”Wind-Quelling Stone, Level Four Sea Area item, can be used as a ballast stone to reduce sea wind and waves by 35%. Starting bid: 100 water coins.”

”Profound Turtle Stone, Level Five Sea Area item, can be used as a ballast stone to increase the ship’s defense by 50%. Starting bid: 100 water coins.”

”Black Flame Shell (Special Shell), grants special black flame damage, causing a burning effect on the ship. Starting bid: 150 water coins.”

”...”

”What, aren’t you planning to buy something?” Bai Wuheng asked as he saw Han Zhan remaining unmoved by these auction items.

”Whether it’s the ballast stone or the special shells, they’re items that can crush opponents early on. With them, you can traverse Level Four Sea Areas and below without hindrance.”

Bai Wuheng kindly reminded him, fearing that Han Zhan was unaware of these items’ value.

Han Zhan nodded slightly, but he wasn’t unaware; he simply wasn’t interested.

Whether it was the special shells or the ballast stones that reduced waves and increased ship defense, the ”Gray Sparrow” already had them, and their effects were far superior.

While Han Zhan appeared indifferent, Jiang Yuxuan beside him was somewhat excited.

He was quite envious!

With these items, he could fully explore higher-level dangerous sea areas, enhance his reputation, and acquire more valuable materials and artifacts.

This is a favorable snowballing cycle.

What Jiang Yuxuan had always been missing was this kind of opportunity!

”Want it? Which one have you set your eyes on? I can bid on it for you.”

At this moment, Han Zhan spoke up.

Seeing Jiang Yuxuan was a bit hesitant, he shook his head, ”Never mind, I’ll handle it myself.”

Saying this, he raised his paddle.

”Profound Turtle Stone, increase by one hundred water coins.”

”Black Flame Bullet, increase by one hundred water coins.”

”...”

”You...” In the end, Jiang Yuxuan watched as Han Zhan successfully bid and spent a total of five hundred water coins on two items, and his lips moved.

”In my understanding, enhancing defense should be more worthwhile than reducing waves because strengthened defense can resist not only waves but also artillery and other attacks.”

Han Zhan said, as he handed the two items he won to Jiang Yuxuan.

The latter hesitated for a moment but eventually accepted these two gifts from Han Zhan.

”Thank you!” He expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Bai Wuheng observed this scene intently and found himself increasingly unable to understand this Level One Sea Adventurer named Han Zhan.

One might think he was an inexperienced adventurer, but his understanding and judgment of ballast stones were precise, and he also knew their value. Furthermore, he even had a SSS Level Divine Level Chef.

Yet he seemed uninterested in all these, making him appear enigmatic.

Unless... he wasn’t interested in these items?

Thinking of this, Bai Wuheng shook his head inwardly. How could this be? Some of the auction items even tempted him; how could a Level One Sea Adventurer possibly be uninterested?

He couldn’t figure it out, he really couldn’t.

While Bai Wuheng was lost in his thoughts, Jiang Yuxuan was filled with gratitude, and Han Zhan’s attention was fixated on the venue until suddenly he sat up straight.

”Next up, this auction item is called Fanxiya’s Blessing!”

”Fanxiya’s Blessing, a Level Five Sea Area item, ballast stone. It can generate a protective aura, reducing 1% of evil curse contamination. Starting bid: one thousand water coins.”

The next moment, under the astonished gazes of Jiang Yuxuan and Bai Wuheng, Han Zhan raised his paddle high.

”Add one hundred.”

...

”Han Zhan, didn’t you see, after you spent two thousand water coins on ’Fanxiya’s Blessing’, how those big shots looked at you, as if you were a foolish idiot?”

Walking away from the auction, Jiang Yuxuan said.

He then instinctively covered his mouth, almost forgetting that Bai Wuheng, who was also one of the ”big shots”, was next to him.

Bai Wuheng, as if not hearing the dissatisfaction toward the so-called big shots in Jiang Yuxuan’s words, spoke:

”Han Zhan, I find myself more and more unable to understand you.”

”Two thousand water coins is not a small amount. When I was a Level One Sea Adventurer like you, I wouldn’t dare spend so much on something like that.”

Bai Wuheng spoke very tactfully.

He almost blurted out the words ”wastrel.”

To this, Han Zhan merely shook his head, offering no explanation.

As night was about to fall, they arrived at the docks of Spring Breeze Port, where the crew of the ”White Camel” was waiting for them.

”Captain, we completed the transaction with the ’Gray Sparrow’, and the remaining six thousand five hundred water coins have also been transferred to the other party.”

Bai Wuheng nodded upon hearing this.

”Escort everyone back,” he waved his hand and said.

After speaking, he glanced at Han Zhan, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately decided against it.

Bai Wuheng originally wanted to remind Han Zhan to be cautious at night.

But after spending half a day with Han Zhan, he felt his advice would probably be fruitless.

Parting ways with Han Zhan at the port, Bai Wuheng returned to his warship, shedding the white robe covering his entire body to reveal his true form.

It was actually a camel walking upright.

He poured egg fried rice onto a long, prepared table, then poured the lamp bulb water grass soup over it, mixed it with his hands, and started eating with his hands.

On the other side, Han Zhan also returned to the ”Gray Sparrow.”

This trip to Spring Breeze Port was fruitful, and he also managed to figure out some of the rules.

He increasingly felt that the suggestion by the World Tree for SSS Level Talented individuals to enter Water Planet was an incredibly wise decision.

Here, the value of an SSS Level Talented individual was almost immeasurable in currency.

Besides, once Han Zhan returned to the ”Gray Sparrow,” the first thing he did was place the ballast stone, Fanxiya’s Blessing, which he spent two thousand water coins for at the auction, into its designated spot within the ship’s cabin.

That location was specifically for placing ballast stones.

Once it was embedded perfectly, the ”Gray Sparrow’s” reduction of evil curse also successfully reached one hundred percent!

At that moment, a sacred golden light swept through the ”Gray Sparrow.”

Han Zhan and the Contracted Spirit Girl had extremely faint black smoke separated from their bodies, transforming into terrifying, roaring skull images.

The skulls made silent screams before gradually dissipating into the air.

This also meant that the evil curse in their bodies was completely eradicated!

Han Zhan even felt like his body suddenly felt much lighter.

At this moment, Gongyang Jin emerged from the helm room and said to Han Zhan:

”I followed your instructions and sailed the ’Gray Sparrow’ a short distance out from Spring Breeze Port.”

”Just as you predicted.”

”Dozens of ships are lying in ambush here, taking advantage of the night!”
