The Town-Demon Pass Wig Is Expensive
Lu Yang's suggestion was quickly agreed upon by the three. The most valuable part of the twin lotus is the lotus flower; the lotus seeds are not very valuable.
Lotus seeds cannot produce new twin lotus flowers. The appearance of twin lotus flowers is random. An ordinary lotus flower may become a twin lotus flower under certain conditions.
In the words of the immortal fairy, the twin origins are hidden within all lotus flowers; the key is to see how to bring them out.
"Then it's decided. Senior Brother Lu gets the lotus seeds, and the three of us will sell the lotus and split the Spirit Stone equally."
Tao Yaoye and handed them to Lu Yang.
The lotus seeds had a unique, refreshing fragrance, and Lu Yang subconsciously sniffed, finding it very pleasant.
The guild's waiters were greeting guests as usual when three men in black burst into the guild, arousing his suspicion.
"It's me," one of the men in black said in a low voice.
"Young Master Meng?" The waiter recognized the voice; it belonged to the young master of the Meng family.
Is that disciple of the Ask Dao Sect standing next to him?
Who is the third man in black?
Tao Yaoye stood behind the three men in black, feeling rather helpless.
The faces of Lu Yang and his two companions have been memorized by all the Foundation Establishment Late Stage at Zhenyao Pass; they will be hunted down if they leave.
Left with no other choice, the three of them had to wear masks.
From beginning to end, Tao Yaoye only left those people with her back turned, so she wouldn't be recognized and could walk openly in the outside world.
The waiter didn't delve into their disguise research; what Meng Jingzhou did didn't affect their transaction.
He led the four into the reception room, where Meng Jingzhou took out a pair of twin lotus flowers, which attracted the attention of the waiters. Unexpectedly, the twin lotus flowers that had been the subject of much discussion outside ended up in Meng Jingzhou's hands.
"We want to sell it. How many Spirit Stones?"
"Forty thousand Spirit Stone."
Meng Jingzhou frowned, feeling the price was too low; he would spend 500,000 Spirit Stone to buy just one Phoenix Blood Stone.
Tao Yaoye nodded, agreeing that the price was reasonable. Meng Jingzhou thought the price was too low simply because he was too rich and had no concept of Spirit Stone.
"If Young Master Meng finds the price too low, our Chamber of Commerce will soon be holding an auction, primarily for the Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core cultivators. It would be perfect to auction twin lotus blossoms. What do you think?"
Meng Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let's auction it off then."
It just so happens that he hasn't been to an auction in a long time.
A day later, the four of them arrived at the auction with their admission tickets.
The Chamber of Commerce has already announced that the auction will feature twin lotus blossoms, attracting many Foundation Establishment Late Stage and those on the verge of Golden Core. Looking around, everyone there is a familiar face.
The auction was hosted by a rare beauty who called herself Xiaoyue; she had a stunning figure and attracted much attention.
This is extremely attractive to the cultivators of Zhenyao Pass who constantly walk on the edge of life and death.
The beautiful host briefly warmed up the atmosphere and then began the auction with the first item.
"The first item up for auction is unlike anything before. It's something that's unique in the entire history of auctions at Zhenyao Pass. Xiaoyue was stunned for a long time when she saw it."
The beautiful host pulled off the red cloth, revealing the first item to be auctioned—a wig.
"This wig was meticulously crafted by Master Guan over three days and three nights. Wearing this wig not only allows you to change your hairstyle at will, but more importantly, it promotes hair growth. In other words, as long as you wear it, your hair will grow back in just a few days!"
"This is also a rare magical Law Artifact, possessing a certain defensive function!"
As soon as the first item was announced, the eyes of the crowd below the stage visibly lit up.
They were all people whose heads had been shaved by Lu Yang, and what they needed most now was a wig!
This is great stuff!
The price of wigs at Zhenyao Pass has skyrocketed, reaching outrageous levels. And those are just ordinary wigs, far inferior to the one at the venue.
Instead of spending money on an ordinary wig, it's better to spend a little more on a better one.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou remained unmoved. They had started losing their hair earlier than others, and now lush new hair had grown on their heads, so they were no longer bald.
Moreover, the quality of this wig's craftsmanship is clearly inferior to Li Haoran's.
Starting bid: 500 Spirit Stone!
"Five hundred!"
"Six hundred!"
"Eight hundred!"
"One thousand Spirit Stone!"
The price of wigs quickly soared to a thousand Spirit Stone, something unimaginable before.
One thousand Spirit Stone for a wig—that's the limit for this wig.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, causing wig prices to reach a new high.
"Fiveteen hundred Spirit Stone!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Duan Hongchen, the first cultivator to be hit by Lu Yang's Arhat Fist!
Duan Hongchen, being a half-step Golden Core cultivator, is wealthy. A wig with a customizable hairstyle costing 1,500 Spirit Stone is a good deal!
"The second item up for auction is a bottle of pills, made by Wu Ming, a master alchemist from the Ask Dao Sect!"
"Senior Brother Wu?" Lu Yang was taken aback when he heard the familiar name. He knew Senior Brother Wu very well; the Ten Oxen Strength Pill was made by him.
Senior Brother Wu has his own unique insights into both alchemy and poison making.
The guests were abuzz with discussion.
"It's actually something from the Ask Dao Sect?"
"The items from the Five Great Immortal Sects are extremely rare! They must be valuable!"
"I wonder what the effects of the elixir are."
"How long has it been since something from the Five Great Immortal Sects appeared, and it even came from the Five Elements Sect? I've heard that the Ask Dao Sect is even stronger than the Five Elements Sect, so this item must be extraordinary!"
Clearly, most grassroots cultivators do not understand the Ask Dao Sect.
The beautiful host took out a jade bottle containing several grayish-brown pills, surrounded by three pill patterns. The bottle had a fragrant aroma, and it was clear at a glance that it was an extraordinary product.
"This is a bottle of Grain Avoidance Pill."
These words drew sighs from the audience, who were disappointed with the second item up for auction.
The Ask Dao Sect is powerful, but so what? Can they possibly concoct different flavors of Grain Avoidance Pill?
The beautiful host was not surprised by the audience's reaction; it was within her expectations.
She smiled slightly and explained, "When you go to the dense forest to hunt Demon Beast, the most common method is to use poison. However, Demon Beast are naturally perceptive and can distinguish right from wrong. They will subconsciously avoid poison."
"This is where this bottle of Grain Avoidance Pill comes in handy."
"This is not an ordinary Grain Avoidance Pill. Calling it a pill is an understatement; it's more accurate to call it a poison, or rather, it is a pill, but its effects are those of poison."
"Its effects are thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than those of ordinary Grain Avoidance Pill."
"Just think about it, what would happen if Demon Beast ate this Grain Avoidance Pill? It's equivalent to consuming ten million Grain Avoidance Pill, which far exceeds the Demon Beast's tolerance. It would instantly burst its stomach."
"In other words, as the saying goes, 'too full to death.'"
The audience gasped in astonishment; they never imagined that the Grain Avoidance Pill could be used in this way.
"I suspect that Senior Brother Wu Ming made a mistake in refining the pills, producing a bottle of this stuff, and is now trying to sell it to recoup his losses," Lu Yang made a reasonable guess.
"Something that Senior Brother Wu Ming would do."
Others, unaware of Wu Ming's background, assumed that these were pills meticulously crafted by Master Wu Ming, and that with the backing of the Ask Dao Sect, the quality of the pills was guaranteed.
Soon, this Grain Avoidance Pill, was auctioned off for six thousand a bottle and was bought by a Golden Core cultivator.
Lu Yang and his three companions were all disciples of the Ask Dao Sect, and they had seen all sorts of good things. The last few auction items were quite uninteresting and failed to pique their interest.
"The sixth item for auction is a piece of red silk, of unknown age and material."
The beautiful host displayed the sixth item for auction, a long red ribbon.
"Hmm, this thing looks familiar," the Immortal Fairy exclaimed.
