Chapter 446: Golden Spirit Silk (2/2)

He decided to save this guy from his pitiful circumstance.

“Sold for ten spirit stones.” Her smile became even more enchanting.

The higher the price, the more her commission so she was naturally happier than anyone else.

“Ten spirit stones to buy a stone-dragon trunk, what a loss. WHich idiot is number 323?” Someone quietly discussed.

“Must be an idiot musical fan that had been charmed by Sima Zhaoxue. Using ten stones to buy a beauty’s smile? Bankruptcy will be soon.”

“This is the style of the Yin Gou Ward, baiting in the idiots, hehe.”

Feiyun glanced at the people sneering at Ningshuai. ‘You all dare to mock my friend? Just wait, I’ll make you cry later.”

A little after, a young girl brought up another jade tray. There was a golden metal square around one foot long, the second treasure of the auction.

This metal looked like brass but there were many strings with a faint, golden glow within. Its value was clear at first glance. This was a good material for blacksmithing.

Zhaoxue waited a bit for the crowd to become curious before announcing: “The second auction is a Golden Spirit Silk weighing at one hundred and twenty pounds, found by a treasure-master from a mine in the frontier. According to our appraisers, this is a rare, natural metal. When using ordinary steel to create a weapon, just by adding one or two strings, it would raise this mortal weapon to the treasure level. As for crafting spirit treasures, infusing these strings can increase the probability of success.”

“The starting price will be three spirit stones. Each raising bid must be at least one stone.” She put down the introductory card while standing elegantly on the stage and smiled: “Begin.”

“I bid six stones.” Bi Ningshuai immediately raised his card and doubled the bidding price.

The one-star and two-star guests all wanted to vomit blood as well. They didn’t have much spending power and could only buy the lower-level treasures. But this damned number 323 was doubling the bid of these treasures. How the hell were they going to live?

If it wasn’t for him actually buying the dragon-stone tree earlier, they would have thought that he was working for the Yin Gou Ward.

The price of this golden silk was much higher than the tree. Moreover, it could refine many treasure weapons in the future. It was truly crucial for the big powers since it could increase the battle potential of their young disciples.

Six stones weren’t enough to scare the clan and sect masters so many raised their bidding card.

Feiyun was fixated on this treasure with a strange pulse from his spiritual sense. This pulse would only happen when a top treasure was around.

“Is there something else hiding in this spirit silk?” Even though his spiritual sense wasn’t top-notch, the phoenix soul in his body was peerless. Even grand treasure-masters didn’t have such great sensitivity. This was why he could spot hiding treasures easily.

This was also the case for the Daomization Stone that was taken by the Evil Woman.

Even Zuo Qianshou, a ninth-ranked treasure master, couldn’t spot the Daomization Stone yet he was able to cut it out.

He activated his phoenix gaze in order to peer past the outer layer to see the supreme treasure hiding inside. However, he still couldn’t see through the surface.

“A piece of mineral from a mine, gestated by the earth, this alone can’t excite the phoenix soul, there must be something else.” Feiyun used his Minor Change Art to calculate again.

The Minor Change Art was one of the eight arts in the Grave Palace Treasure Seeking Record. It was the ultimate treasure-seeking art and it also felt something incredible within this piece of metal.

At this moment, the current bid was fifteen stones for the metal. This was quite a high price so only three people left were bidding.

Number 218, an old half-step Giant.

Number 479, a young overlord from a big clan.

Number 323, which was where Feng Feiyun and Bi Ningshuai were sitting.

They were all guests with money at the VIP section

The young overlord slightly frowned and raised his card again: “Sixteen spirit stones.”

The golden metal was precious but it was only valued around fourteen stones. They were sitting at the VIP section and had great powers as their backing but prudence in terms of bidding was still required.

The half-step Giant was a supreme elder of a sect. He truly wanted the metal and didn’t mind paying a high price: “20 stones, I want this metal.”

If anyone else were to bid higher, they would be an idiot.

Feiyun smiled and told Ningshuai: “Bid as high as you want.”

Ningshuai was ecstatic after hearing this. He would finally be able to shine before his goddess. With a stately pose, he raised his card and shouted: “One hundred stones!”

Some people were scared off their chair after hearing this bid.
