Chapter 259: Chapter 258 Mysterious Red Satin_1

“Hmm, this thing looks familiar.” Fairy Eternity reacted upon seeing the red satin the auctioneer was showing.

“Fairy, do you know what this is?” Lu Yang asked.

Fairy Eternity scratched her head, struggling to recall the origins of the red satin. Since she was a bit groggy from sleep, she couldn’t remember what it was for a moment.

“What was it again? The Covering Sky Fairy Cloth that the Yingtian Immortal used to cover the sun and wrap a whole planet?”

“The cloth woven by Immortal Jiuchong that can turn nothingness into reality at a thought?”

“Or the veil used by Qilin Immortal at his wedding?”

“I can’t remember, but this cloth carries the breath of us five immortals, so it must belong to one of us!” Fairy Eternity stated confidently.

Lu Yang’s eyes lit up. An unknown piece of cloth with the breath of five immortals must have a significant backstory.

It might perhaps be an ancient immortal artifact.

The pots and pans of the Eternity Sect were all considered Immortal Treasures. Even those of the Unification stage treated these items as treasures. Thus, the status of this Five Immortal Breath Fabric must be even higher!

Fairy Eternity really is useful at critical times!

Someone in the crowd raised doubts: “Daring to auction off a piece of fabric whose age and material are unknown? Are you just trying to fill the auction with random items because you don’t have many good ones?”

The auctioneer gave a slight smile, unfazed by the doubt: “This piece of fabric was obtained by a cultivator after slaying a demon beast in a secret forest. Even the most experienced appraisers have been unable to determine the material and age of the fabric.”

“This fabric is suspected to be from ancient times, perhaps a possession of an ancient genius. It may have fallen into ownerless oblivion during the Great Era wars.”

“The fabric is extremely durable. If a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator were to try to tear it apart fully, not a single damage could be inflicted.”

“What about cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage?”

The auctioneer truthfully responded: “We haven’t tried. The biggest feature of this satin is its completeness. If it were to be damaged by a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, the value of the satin would greatly decrease.”

“Red satin, starting bid one thousand spirit stones.”

The auction house was unsure of the value of the red satin. It was said to be an ancient item, but the satin was too well-preserved, as if it had just been woven, making it hard for people to believe that it was something from 300,000 years ago. Thus, the starting price was set very low.

“One thousand spirit stones.”

An Ke from Clear Moon Sect called out, attracted by the beautiful color of the fabric. She wanted to use it to craft clothing, or with some modification, serve as a mantle.

“One thousand two hundred spirit stones,” Tao Yaoye called out.

An Ke frowned, not expecting someone to bid against her for the fabric.

She turned her head and saw that the bidder was an even more beautiful female cultivator.

Seems like she has the same goal.

Then she definitely couldn’t afford to be generous!

“One thousand five hundred spirit stones!”

“Two thousand.” Tao Yaoye’s voice was lazy, as if she didn’t care who was bidding. No matter who bid, she would raise the price.

“Two thousand two hundred spirit stones!” An Ke increased the bid again.

“Three thousand.” Tao Yaoye increased the bid without any hesitation.

An Ke was a beauty and had many followers. Originally, these people would have helped An Ke raise the bid, but when they saw that the other bidder was a stunning beauty, they all tacitly chose not to help An Ke.

“Three thousand one hundred…”

“Four thousand.”

An Ke fell silent. She could indeed raise the bid, but there was still the Twin Lotus later. She couldn’t possibly spend all her spirit stones on a piece of fabric.

“Four thousand spirit stones once, four thousand spirit stones twice, four thousand spirit stones three times, sold!” The auctioneer’s gavel fell, indicating that the red satin now belonged to Tao Yaoye.

“Thank you, Junior Sister, for bidding. I’ll return your spirit stones after the auction!” Lu Yang secretly transmitted his voice. It was he who had asked Tao Yaoye to bid.

As a man, if he were to bid for satin, people would suspect that the satin hid some secret, thereby driving up the price.

But if Tao Yaoye were to auction it, people would just think that the beautiful woman liked the fabric and was happy to spend money on it.

“There’s no need for thanks between us, Senior Brother. Have you identified the origin of the red satin?” Tao Yaoye asked with a smile, revealing two shallow dimples.

Lu Yang fell silent for a moment, and then truthfully said: “It should be an item from ancient times, with an extraordinary origin. As for what it exactly is, I’m not sure.”

Fairy Eternity, tragically, began to show early signs of dementia at only sixteen years old.

The next few auction items didn’t capture the four’s attention. Only when the auctioneer showed the Twin Lotus did the four sit up straight, curious about how many spirit stones the Twin Lotus could fetch.

As soon as the Twin Lotus appeared, the crowd fell silent instantly, their eyes burning with desire.

For any cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the Twin Lotus is a treasure that opens up the future.

With a light smile, the auctioneer introduced: “Twin Lotus, perhaps many of you here had seen it just a few days ago. This is the very one that appeared in the secret forest a few days ago, and I don’t need to introduce its effect.”

“Starting bid, thirty thousand spirit stones.”

The eyes of the audience seemed like they were trying to snatch the Twin Lotus away. There was no need for the auctioneer’s introduction at all.

“Thirty-one thousand spirit stones!”

“I am determined to get the Twin Lotus, thirty-two thousand spirit stones!”

“So many stones and you dare to fight for the Twin Lotus, thirty-five thousand spirit stones!” The White Tiger Saint Son of Quadruple Sect sneered at people’s tiny incremental bidding.

“Thirty-eight thousand spirit stones!” An Ke refused to back down.

“Forty thousand spirit stones!” Duan Hongchen of Tianwen Dao Sect shouted. He was just a Twin Lotus away from forming his golden core.

“Forty-one thousand spirit stones!”

“Forty-four!”

“Forty-five!”

The price of the Twin Lotus kept rising, making Man Gu unable to conceal his grin.

Eventually, the price of the Twin Lotus settled at forty-nine thousand spirit stones.

“Forty-nine thousand spirit stones once, forty-nine thousand spirit stones twice …”

Meng Jingzhou mused, using the time the auctioneer was calling the bid, to speak loud enough for the nearby people to hear: “Those two Buddhist disciples who know the Arhat Fist are really hateful. Could this Twin Lotus carry any clues about those two Buddhist disciples?”

“Fifty thousand spirit stones!” The White Tiger Saint Son immediately increased the bid.

He was not in a hurry to use the Twin Lotus, but he vowed to find those two Buddhist disciples!

Fifty thousand spirit stones were a sum that a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, even if he sold all his possessions, couldn’t afford. Only a core disciple of a large sect like the White Tiger Saint Son could afford it.

“Fifty-three thousand spirit stones!” An Ke increased her bid again.

The White Tiger Saint Son calmed down. Although he could still raise the bid, doing so would not only offend An Ke, but it would also exceed the value of the Twin Lotus.

With fifty-three thousand spirit stones, An Ke won the Twin Lotus.

After the auction ended, Tao Yaoye handed over the red satin to Lu Yang.

“Fairy, can you now see what this is?” Lu Yang asked quietly, hoping the fairy could reveal the origin of the red satin.

Fairy Eternity pondered for a moment, trying hard to rummage through her memory. She slapped her hand, revealing an expression of sudden realization, and finally remembered the origin of the red satin from an inconspicuous corner of her memory.

“Isn’t this the tablecloth from my home!”

“… Fairy, you really do feel at home.”

“What do you mean?”

“You really know how to prank your own family.”
