For the next month, Jiang Ziliu was either reading or on his way to buy books.
The enhancement of his memory and comprehension abilities by the Six-Star Bronze life level, the soul transformation brought about by the two openings of his Hidden Soul Star, and the continuous improvement brought about by his soul power advancing towards its upper limit, all of these factors caused Jiang Ziliu's Wisdom and memory abilities to soar dramatically, far exceeding those of ordinary people.
He can read a page of a book at a glance and remember it perfectly.
A month might not be enough time for an average person to read many books, but Jiang Ziliu finished reading the books he wanted to read in just 27 days.
Don't forget, Jiang Ziliu also has a special metal disc inlaid with mysterious leaves that enhances his Wisdom and memory.
Moreover, during this time, Jiang Ziliu did not forget to take the medicine made from the Soul-Cleansing Mushroom.
Jiang Ziliu completed the learning of all the knowledge he needed to acquire in less than a month.
At the same time, he also had a detailed understanding of the situation in this area.
Among all this knowledge, he surprisingly found information related to spatial power in an old book he bought at a street stall.
With this knowledge, combined with what he had just learned, Jiang Ziliu was confident in handling the next matter.
That is to awaken the spatial attribute ability of the Azurite Rock Man.
That is, awakening its skill: Earth Space Evasion!
However, a potentially problematic item on Jiang Ziliu's person—the headband-shaped spatial storage device—could serve as a crucial material for his awakening.
Because it possesses a space and has natural spatial power.
Consuming this headband-shaped storage device will awaken the Azurite Rock Man's Earth Space Evasion skill and also eliminate this potential threat that could reveal his location. Why not?
Jiang Ziliu then created a new temporary safe zone in the mountains near the Lingyan Base, preparing to carry out this operation there.
But before that, he needs to prepare some useful resources.
He could easily obtain other resources; he could buy them with money. But the last special resource was very difficult to acquire.
This substance, called Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud, can neutralize spatial forces, making them slower and more stable.
The Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud is A Grade resource, produced from the Broken Dungeon Space.
The Dungeon Space was created by powerful beings with spatial attributes.
However, it is merely a spatial phenomenon at the dimensional level, and its existence, like the birth, aging, sickness, and death of a tree, involves a slow process of decay.
The existence of the Dungeon Space itself is decaying because it exists in a spacetime rift, constantly being eroded by the forces of spacetime turbulence, continuously increasing the cracks in the Dungeon Space itself.
When the cracks widen to a certain extent, that's when this Dungeon Space collapses.
A D Grade Dungeon Space will not exist for more than 100 years.
A C Grade Dungeon Space will not exist for more than 300 years.
A B Grade Dungeon Space can only exist for a maximum of 800 years.
While these Dungeon Space exist, they constantly interact with the spacetime turbulence, producing a residue with special spatial properties.
This residue is the Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud!
It serves as proof of the Dungeon Space zeroing process!
When a Dungeon Space is destroyed, a spatial annihilation phenomenon occurs, and everything within the Dungeon Space is instantly destroyed.
However, there is a substance that will not be destroyed in this state; instead, it will be expelled and fall into the real world, becoming a black, muddy substance.
This mud-like substance has a good spatial inertia force.
Because it is black, it is also known as Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud.
This resource exists only in the hands of human military organizations. Only they can guard the various Dungeon Space and handle events related to the destruction of Dungeon Space. This substance, the Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud, is the material of these military organizations.
Because of its limited application, it is often auctioned off at various auction houses.
If Jiang Ziliu wanted to obtain this substance, he could only try to find a way through auctions.
There aren't many wealthy households in the fourth-level base, but there are many in the third-level base, and the interactions between people are quite complex.
Therefore, only level 3 bases will host relatively large auctions.
Jiang Ziliu first carefully learned about the details and procedures of the auction before finally deciding to go to the auction to obtain the Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud he needed.
But he won't go by himself; luckily, the Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit can transform into a human, so we can send him.
Jiang Ziliu, on the other hand, can remotely command its actions through a contractual agreement.
The only problem is that it can't talk.
However, the official auction at Lingyan Base does not allow people to speak directly. They have prepared special electronic devices where people can simply type their bids on a keyboard.
Given the intelligence of the Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit, they are perfectly capable of doing this.
Electricity, which is rare in Level 4 bases, is common in Level 3 bases, and resources such as computers and networks are not scarce at all.
The gap between a Tier 4 base and a Tier 3 base in all aspects is greater than the gap between a middle-income country and an extremely poor country.
Tier 3 bases are the only truly recognized fundamental human power groups.
"Today, we begin the second auction of the past two weeks. The auction features a large amount of scarce resources that all Beast Tamers urgently need, so please don't miss it..."
The auction was hosted by a very alluring and sexy beauty.
She was quick-witted and easily stirred up everyone's passion with her words, making them unconsciously prepare to throw money around.
Below the platform where she stood, there were two levels of small booths for the auctioneers.
The security here is excellent; everyone who enters has a small private room, except the second floor is even more luxurious.
Furthermore, the cubicles are lift-up, and the exit routes are also varied.
This effectively ensured the secrecy of the beast tamer.
If this aspect is not handled well, beast tamers will not dare to come to such a place unless it is a necessity.
The diversity of the extraordinary world has also made everyone more concerned about their own safety.
Throughout the auction, no one bid directly; all bids were submitted via keyboard typing, with intervals of up to five minutes between each bid.
"Now, please welcome our first item for auction!"
"The first item up for auction is a Silver Rank Mutated Moonlight Fox cub, perfect for A Grade talent geniuses to form a contract with! Starting price is 1 million yuan, with each bid increasing by at least 100,000 yuan!"
"Number 333, 1 million yuan!"
"Number 987, 1.3 million yuan!"
Auction clients quickly submitted their bids, but the voices were uniform and electronic, emanating from a loudspeaker on the platform.
Moreover, each room number is randomized, making it difficult for others to know where someone is just by looking at their room number.
This auction setup was first created by the Humanity's First Auction House.
This auction house, due to its excellent confidentiality, developed rapidly and eventually became the most authoritative auction house in the world with the highest transaction volume.
The auction house set up at the Lingyan Base is also based on other people's procedures; otherwise, no one would come.
Ultimately, this Mutated Moonlight Fox cub sold for 2.1 million yuan.
Next, the auction items were laid out one by one.
Some people choose to bid a certain amount of money, while others choose to bid a certain amount of Elemental Crystal of a specific attribute. However, the auction house's calculation system will automatically convert the value of the Elemental Crystal into a certain amount of money based on the market price.
As the auction drew to a close, the Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud that Jiang Ziliu had been waiting for finally appeared.
"Lot 37: 300 grams of C Grade Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud. Starting price: 30 million yuan. Minimum bid increment: 1 million yuan!"
The atmosphere suddenly turned somewhat cold; this material was rare, but there weren't many people who needed it.
Jiang Ziliu directly quoted a price using Elemental Crystal.
"Number 352 has offered 30 million yuan!"
"Anyone offering a higher price?"
After some hesitation, people started bidding one after another, and the price quickly rose to 31 million yuan, followed by a continuous increase in bids.
Its price rose all the way to 36 million yuan.
Jiang Ziliu also raised the price, and in the end he simply had Azurite Rock quote an exorbitant price.
"Number 352, 40 million yuan!"
After that, no matter how much the beautiful auctioneer promoted it, no one else tried to compete with Jiang Ziliu.
Jiang Ziliu then had the Azurite Rock Man pay with Elemental Crystal through a payment window no bigger than a bowl, and the goods he needed were delivered to him through the same window on the other side.
The small window is set so low that neither the auction house nor the auctioneer can see each other directly.
Large items are delivered to auction buyers discreetly.
The Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit hid beneath the black robe and then left.
After confirming that no one was secretly following him, Jiang Ziliu then met up with it and obtained the material he needed.
At this point, all the resources he had previously acquired that were openly usable had been completely exhausted.
After arriving at the safe house outside the base, Jiang Ziliu began his work. He prepared a special rock barrel, mixed a potion, and then used the Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud to wrap the headband-shaped spatial equipment inside, which he then had the Azurite Rock Man hold in his hand.
Then it sank completely into the medicinal liquid.
This medicinal liquid can slowly draw out the spatial power from the spatial materials and permeate into the living organisms inside them.
The Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud can slowly release spatial power and stabilize the space within it, preventing it from being directly annihilated. Instead, it allows the internal space to slowly shrink, releasing the spatial power little by little until it eventually dissipates safely.
The entire process lasted three days. The headband-shaped spatial object became a complete waste, and the space inside it also completely disappeared.
However, the Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud is not consumed; as long as the impurities in the medicinal liquid are removed, it can still be used.
The fact that Pot Heaven Black Abyss Mud can be reused is why, although it is precious, its price is not excessive and demand is not strong.
At this point, the transformation of the Azurite Rock was completely over.
The spatial attributes of the entire system have been successfully awakened!
Azurite Rock Man:
Life Aura Concealment ( SSS Grade ), Rock and Earth Avatar (S grade), Rock and Earth Evasion ( B Grade ), Rock and Earth Concealment (B- grade), Mutated Spirituality (B+ grade), Rock and Earth Sneak Stab (C+ grade), Saber Mastery (D- grade), 1.6% Dwarf Titan Bloodline (D+ grade), Earth Space Evasion (A+ grade).
It possessed the Earth Space Evasion skill, and it was an A+ Grade skill.
Jiang Ziliu felt a little regretful; this skill was just a hair's breadth away from being upgraded to S Grade.
This Earth Space Evasion allows the Azurite Rock Man to directly enter the subspace realm and move through any place where rocks exist.
It can be said that it is a more advanced skill than Rock and Earth Evasion, combining the power of the earth and space.
At this point, the Azurite Rock Man has been completely upgraded to a beast tamer with both spatial and earth attributes!
