“The demon’s son must have too much money, letting his friend spend it however he wants.” Someone whispered.
“Hehe, the guy just profited a bunch, that’s a treasure worth tens of thousand spirit stones, it’s fine to let his friend spend a bit.” A guy next to him said.
“The appraisers here are the best in the dynasty, there won’t be a second mistake like that Golden String Spirit Stone.”
No one bade again so Feiyun spent forty stones for this spirit fruit.
The Chen Young Lord stood up and snorted: “Feng Feiyun, you’ve wasted four times the value of this spirit fruit again. Don’t tell me there’s something about this fruit that the auction’s appraiser failed to spot again?”
Everyone understood that the young lord was still annoyed about what happened earlier and only wanted to get a reaction out of Feiyun.
Feiyun pondered for a bit before standing up and answering: “I am not someone who spends money thoughtlessly. If I overpay for this fruit, it is completely worth it.”
People felt a sting after hearing this and wondered if they have misjudged another treasure?
He walked up on the stage and grabbed the fruit before turning back to the audience: “This is a Combination Vermillion Fruit. Just this fruit alone is only worth ten stones. However, it is only acting as an incubator. Everyone, look.”
Flame rose in Feiyun’s palm and the fruit became transparent. Any discerning cultivator could see that there was a yellow silkworm moving inside.
This silkworm looked like a sleeping fetus. It was breathing and absorbing the spirit energy from the fruit.
“Oh lord, that’s a Golden Silkworm Egg.” A stately old man, dressed in a daoist robe, directly came out from the mist of the supreme section.
A pure energy surrounded him and his whisk. A blinding flash erupted in his old eyes.
This old man came from the number 1 room of the supreme section. It showed that he was the one who could spend the most in this Apex Auction. Thus, his status was immeasurable.
The silkworm inside must have an amazing origin to startle a big shot like him.
“What is a Golden Silkworm Egg?” Even Feng Feiyun was surprised. Earlier, he only sensed a faint life pulse but didn’t know it was a silkworm.
There were more than one hundred million life forms so despite his vast knowledge, he didn’t even know ten percent of them all.
This old man’s body flashed and he appeared on the stage. He stared at the fruit with astonishment: “This is a sacred item of the daoist doctrine. The top-examinee of the Daoist Mirror wrote that this silkworm is born from the heavenly dao and grow up in accordance with the dao laws. If one could gestate this egg inside the violet inner palace, it could replace their soulbound artifact and help them understand the supreme dao.”
“In the legends, there was an amazing man who cultivated both Buddhism and Daoism. His name was Fo Canzi. He inserted this golden silkworm inside his inner palace and finally broke through to the Enlightened Being realm before reaching even greater heights.” [1]
The old man’s hands were trembling as he said: “This Daoist is willing to offer 30,000 spirit stones for this golden silkworm.”
Feiyun was stunned. This value was dozens of times higher than his estimation.
The daoist noticed the hesitation and said: “I know that 30,000 is not enough to buy this golden silkworm but that’s all I have on me right now. I also have a four-thousand-year spirit Wagtail Rose, should be worth around 1,000 stones. If Young Friend is willing to make this trade, I will owe you a favor.”
“May I ask for your name, Dao Master?” Feiyun asked.
“My name is Ning Xianfeng.” He stroked his gray beard.
This name was even more shocking, causing the entire audience to tremble.
This was one of the three Untethered of the Daoist doctrine. He was already a Paramount Giant five hundred years ago and had a prestigious position in the cultivation world. Even the current sect master of the Daoist Gate would need to call him Uncle.
This person was from the same generation as the Divine King. He hadn’t shown up in several hundred years. No wonder why he had the number 1 seat. This was indeed a super big shot. The sect masters from the great powers would need to respectfully greet him.
“Very well, it’s a deal.” Feiyun coolly handed the fruit over to Xianfeng.
Let’s be real now, this was an Untethered. Having a big shot owing a favor was indeed a worthwhile venture.
Xianfeng couldn’t hide his emotions while accepting the fruit. He kept on thanking Feiyun and handed the 30,000 stones and flower over. He then turned into a white ray and left the auction stage.
“Wow!” Chaos engulfed the place. Two amazing treasures appeared one after another but everyone had lost the opportunity.
“The demon’s son profited so much this now, buying two treasures for cheap. That’s several ten thousand stones of profit. One can’t even sell a sect for that price.”
