Chapter 258: Chapter 257: The Demon Suppressing Pass’s Expensive Wig _1

Lu Yang’s proposal quickly won the approval of the other three. The most valuable part of the Twin Lotus was the flower; the seeds were not that valuable.

The lotus seeds could not grow new Twin Lotuses. The appearance of the Twin Lotus was random. A regular lotus flower, under certain conditions, could become the Twin Lotus.

In the words of Fairy Eternity, the essence of the twin was hidden in all lotus flowers. The key was how to stimulate the twin essence.

“Then it’s decided. Senior Brother Lu will take the seeds, and the three of us will sell the flower and split the spirit stones.”

Tao Yaoye took out eight lotus seeds and handed them to Lu Yang.

The seeds had a unique fragrance. Lu Yang unconsciously sniffed and found it fragrant.

…

The servant of the commercial firm always attended to the guests as usual. When three men in black robes raided the firm, it made him wary.

“It’s me,” One of the men in black said in a low tone.

“Young Master Meng?” The servant remembered the voice belonged to Young Master Meng.

Was he accompanied by disciples of the Seek Dao Sect?

Then who was the third man in black?

Tao Yaoye stood behind the three men in black robes feeling helpless.

All the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators at Demon Suppressing Pass had recognized the faces of Lu Yang and his companions. Going out would mean being hunted down.

Out of necessity, they had to disguise themselves.

Tao Yaoye had always been seen from behind, so he wouldn’t be recognized and could freely move around.

The servant didn’t delve into their disguises. Whatever Meng Jingzhou and the others had done didn’t affect their transactions.

He led the four of them into the reception room. Meng Jingzhou brought out the Twin Lotus, which captured the servant’s attention. He didn’t expect that the much-discussed Twin Lotus had ended up in Meng Jingzhou’s hands.

“We want to sell it. How many spirit stones can we get?”

“Forty-thousand spirit stones.”

Meng Jingzhou frowned, thinking the price was too low. He had to pay five hundred thousand spirit stones for a Phoenix Blood Stone.

Tao Yaoye nodded, thinking the price was fair. Meng Jingzhou felt the price was low purely because he was too rich and had no concept of spirit stones.

“Young Master Meng, if you think the price is too low, our firm is about to hold an auction. The potential bidders are mainly Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, which is perfect for auctioning the Twin Lotus. What do you think?”

Meng Jingzhou considered for a moment before saying, “Sure, let’s have it auctioned.”

It had been a long time since he had been to an auction.

A day later, the four of them arrived at the auction with their tickets.

The firm had released news that the Twin Lotus would be available at the auction, attracting many late-stage Foundation Establishment and half-step Golden Core cultivators. At a glance, all were familiar faces.

The auction host was a rare beauty, calling herself Xiao Yue, who was curvy and eye-catching.

This was a big attraction for the cultivators of the Demon Suppressing Pass, who always lived on the edge of life and death.

The beautiful host warmed up the audience and started with the first auction item.

“The first auction item is different from usual. Throughout the history of Demon Suppressing pass auctions, this is a unique item. Even I, Xiao Yue, was stunned when I saw it.”

The beautiful host pulled off the red cloth, revealing the first auction item – a wig.

“This is a wig that Master Guan spent three days and three nights refining. With this wig, you can change your hairstyle as you wish. What’s more, this wig promotes hair growth. In other words, as soon as you put it on, your hair will grow back in a few days!”

“This is also a rare magic instrument, with a certain defensive function!”

The emergence of the first auction item instantly brightened the eyes of the crowd below.

They were all shaved bald by Lu Yang. What they need most now is a wig!

A great thing indeed!

The price of wigs in the Demon Suppressing Pass had skyrocketed, and they were all regular wigs far inferior to the one at the auction.

Instead of spending money on an ordinary wig, why not spend a bit more to buy a better one?

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou remained unmoved. They had lost their hair earlier than the others and now had lush hair growing on their heads, they were not bald anymore.

Moreover, it was clear that the refinement level of the wig couldn’t compare to Li Haoran’s.

“Starting price, five hundred Spirit Stones!”

“Five hundred!”

“Six hundred!”

“Eight hundred!”

“One thousand Spirit Stones!”

The wig was quickly bid up to a thousand Spirit Stones, something unimaginable in the past.

A thousand Spirit Stones for a wig was already its limit.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, pushing the wig’s price to a new high.

“One thousand and five hundred Spirit Stones!”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was Duan Hongchen, the cultivator who was the first to be hit by Lu Yang’s Arhat Fist!

Duan Hongchen, a Half Step Golden Core Stage cultivator with considerable wealth, believed that a wig worth one and a half thousand Spirit Stones that allowed him to freely choose his hairstyle was worth it!

“The second auction item is a bottle of elixirs, created by the Master Refiner Wu Ming from the Seek Dao Sect!”

“Senior Brother Wu?” Lu Yang was stunned on hearing this familiar name. He was too familiar with Senior Brother Wu. The Ten Bulls Strength Pill was his creation.

Senior Brother Wu had unique views on both pill refining and poison concocting.

The guests began to discuss excitedly.

“It’s from the Seek Dao Sect?”

“Items from the Five Great Immortal Sects are rarely found in the market! It must be something good!”

“I wonder what the effects of the elixir are.”

“When was the last time an item from the Five Great Immortal Sects appeared? It was from the Five Elements Sect. I heard that the Seek Dao Sect is even stronger than the Five Elements Sect. This item must be extraordinary!”

Obviously, most grassroots cultivators didn’t know much about the Seek Dao Sect.

The beautiful hostess took out a jade bottle containing a few greyish-brown elixirs. Three elixir patterns circled around it, and the fragrance of the elixir was intoxicating. At first glance, it was something extraordinary.

“This is a bottle of fasting elixir.”

As soon as this was said, there was disappointment from the audience regarding the second auction item.

The Seek Dao Sect might be powerful, but what difference could it make? Could it possibly refine a fasting elixir with different tastes?

The hostess was not surprised by the audience’s reaction, as it was within her expectations.

She smiled slightly and began to explain. “One of the most common methods you use to hunt demon beasts in the dense forest is to poison them. However, demon beasts are naturally sensitive and can discern right from wrong. They will instinctively avoid poison.”

“This is when this bottle of fasting elixir comes into play.”

“This is not an ordinary fasting elixir. Calling it an elixir is a bit of a stretch, it would be more accurate to call it poison, or rather, it is an elixir, but its effect is similar to poison.”

“Its effectiveness is thousands to tens of thousands of times stronger than the common fasting elixir.”

“Just think about it, what would happen to the demon beast after eating this fasting elixir? This is equivalent to consuming tens of millions of fasting elixirs, which far exceeds the tolerance of a demon beast and would cause its stomach to burst instantly.”

“Or as the saying goes, it ate itself to death.”

The audience gasped. They never thought that a fasting elixir could be used in this way.

“I suspect Senior Brother Wu made a mistake in refining the elixir and ended up with a bottle of this stuff. He decided to sell it off to recoup some of the losses,” Lu Yang made a reasonable guess.

“It does sound like something Senior Brother Wu would do.”

Others were not aware of Wu Ming’s background and thought that this was a carefully crafted elixir by Master Wu Ming. With the backing of the Seek Dao Sect, the quality of the elixir was guaranteed.

The fasting elixir that could ‘feed one till they explode’ was quickly auctioned off for six thousand Spirit Stones per bottle, bought by a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage.

Lu Yang and his three companions were all disciples from the Seek Dao Sect and had seen all sorts of good items. The following few auction items were rather uninteresting and failed to capture their interest.

“This sixth auction item is a piece of red satin. Its age and material are unknown.”

The beautiful hostess presented the sixth auction item, a long strip of red satin.

“Huh, this item looks familiar.” Fairy Eternity exclaimed.
