Chapter 446: Golden Spirit Silk

For someone as beautiful as Sima Zhaoxue, not to mention Bi Ningshuai, with some methods and a willingness to do so, she could make a supreme elder from a cultivation sect die for her. Moreover, he wouldn’t have been able to touch a finger of hers beforehand.

At this moment, it was clear that she must have done something to these crazy fans in the audience.

The auction has finally begun.

The first treasure was stored inside a two-meter square trunk made out of steel and was brought to the stage.

With her silver hair fluttering with the wind and a spiritual glow to her, Sima Zhaoxue’s snow-white fingers reached out and elegantly grabbed a jade-card on a silver tray. She softly spoke with a charming smile: “The first auction is a two-meter-long stone-dragon wooden pillar. The starting price is one spirit stone with no less than one seed for each increasing bet.”

Stone-dragon tree is a legendary tree with the trunk growing to something resembling a dragon. This wood was as hard as a rock and could be used to create second-ranked dragon-image pills.

This breed of tree had been extinct for several thousand years now. This particular one was dug out from the muddy bottom of the Jin River. This might be the only trunk of this type in the entire dynasty.

Even though second-ranked pills weren’t that rare, this amount of wood was enough to refine more than one thousand dragon-image pills. Its value was definitely above one spirit stone.

“Two spirit stones.” Bi Ningshuai was the first and doubled the price.

Some others wanted to bid but the big increment made them hesitate.

“Number 323, two spirit stones. Anyone higher?” Zhaoxue’s enchanting eyes were sweeping through the crowd in order to search for people with money.

“Three here.” A sixth-level pill master raised his card.

This pill master was the best from the Eagle Marquis Faction. Wang Yi Wang, the young marquis there was following this master to learn the art of alchemy.

The dragon-image pill could help a cultivator train their physique. This was too important for this faction since they focused on physique cultivation so their hands were forced in this matter.

This trunk was worth around 3 spirit stones so they were confident that no one else would bid higher.

“Four.” Ningshuai raised the bid without any hesitation.

Each spirit stone was worth 300,000 gold coins. Thus, just raising it by one stone was a monstrous sum, enough to buy half a small city.

People with money would carefully raise the price by small increments. Being reckless could end with a heavy loss.

Feiyun quickly pulled on him and asked: “You’re not a pill master, why buy this trunk?”

“I can’t act weak in front of Xue’er.” He declared.

‘This guy is so poisoned now.’ Feiyun wiped the sweat off his forehead: “You have this much spirit stones?”

“You’re here with me.”

The pill master from Eagle Marquis Faction begrudgingly said: “Five stones.”

Ningshuai raised his card again and shouted: “Six spirit stones.”

“...” Feiyun was speechless.

The pill master and the young marquis were already going crazy. It took a lot out of them to big five stones for this trunk that was only worth three stones. However, this number 323 guy was too strong or maybe he was just messing with them.

The young marquis gritted his teeth and raised his card: “Seven spirit stones.”

Their faction must have this trunk.

“Ten stones.” Ningshuai stood up and posed coolly after declaring an impossible price.

The pill master and the young marquis almost vomited blood and stopped raising the bid.

Even Zhaoxue was slightly surprised after hearing this bid. She was wondering which prodigal son was this?

Her pretty eyes glanced over at Ningshuai and gave him a smile. She had naturally forgotten about this fella. After all, she talked to so many prodigies every day, how could she remember this one guy?

However, Ningshuai was so elated just to see her charming smile.

Feiyun had the urge to turn and walk away at this moment. ‘A man bewitched by a woman, even dumber than an idiot… But wasn’t I like this back then too?’
