Chapter 318
"What, what’s that?" someone asked, noticing the unusual thread. Many people were puzzled. Master
Qi was staring at the silk thread right at that moment, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
He suddenly stood up and said," Ice Silk, that, that is the extremely rare hundred-year-old Ice Silk."
When everyone heard the name, they were confused. They didn’t know what the ice silk was. But
looking at the excitement on Master Qi’s face, they knew that the Ice Silk was not an ordinary item. It
had to be exceptionally valuable. Shawn Liang asked, "Master Qi, is the ice Silk considered valuable?"
Master Qi said slowly. "The Ice Silk can’t be measured by money at all. Every wisp of Ice Silk is
precious in its existence. Especially this type of Ice Silk, which has existed for hundreds of years, it is
even more exquisite. This type of silk has impacted many warriors." Speaking of this, Master Qi looked
more and more excited. In addition to being a purveying specialist, he was also a powerful martial arts
master. Therefore, when he saw the Ice Silk, his eyes lit up and he looked extremely shocked. "It’s
remarkably valuable for a martial- artist. That, that should be worth at least tens of millions of yuan,
right? Donny Liang could not resist asking "Tens of millions of yuan!" Master Qi snorted and said. He
continued, "This small roll of Ice Silk would be worth at least two hundred million. That kid has profited
much indeed!" Everyone was stupefied when they heard the price Two hundred million, at least. Less
than three minutes ago, Fade Chen only spent six million yuan to buy that dress. Now, in the blink of an
eye, six million yuan had turned into two hundred million yuan. This caused all the people, who were
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttrying to mock Fade for being oblivious and ignorant just now, to become absolutely red-faced. For a
moment, almost everyone in the room was stunned and they looked at Fade. They wanted to know
how he managed to discern the existence of the Ice Silk in that dress. "Wow, he must really be a
purveying specialist with some legit skills!" ‘He’s still so young. Even if he’s a purveying specialist, how
powerful can he be? In my opinion, he just got lucky this time." ‘I also think that it’s luck. Otherwise, it’s
impossible to explain this matter. After all, Master Qi hasn’t even made a move earlier. How could he
have seen it?" "That’s some crazy luck right there! Even when something bad happens, if lucks wants
to find you, it will find a way!" After a few rounds of heated discussions, most people only chalked
Fade’s good fortune up to being extremely lucky this time The auction continued and one by one, many
collectible items were displayed.
Moreover,when an item appeared to be auctioned off later, everyone could not resist looking at Fade,
as though they wanted to see if he would make a move or not. They wanted to tag along his good luck.
However, Fade did not make a move when he saw the rest of the items. Finally the last auction item
appeared, which was also the main focus of this auction. It was the Buddhist treasure. The host asked
the staff members to bring out the Buddhist treasure carefully and put it in a glass container. Before the
host could introduce it, everyone’s attention was attracted by the Buddhist treasure within the glass
container. It was a volume of extremely worn-out scriptures. The pages of the volume were old and
yellow, but the handwriting on it was still quite clear The most amazing thing about the handwriting on
the volume was that as long as you stared at them long enough, you could sense the movements of
the words. They would turn into Buddhist statues and begin to glow. The whole book would suddenly
transform into tens of thousands of Buddhas which seem to land on the page, with a majestic and
energetic aura, Many of the collectors were interested once they noticed this unique aura. Some
people were getting impatient, so they raised their cards and said, "Dear host, hurry up, hurry up and
announce the minimum price! I want to bid on this item!" Old Mr Du and Shawn were also excited and
they were itching to start bidding as well. However, they resisted the impulse to do that, and they
looked at their purveying specialists. Seeing this, Master Qi stepped forward and stared at Fade. He
snorted and spoke disdainfully. "This scripture is the 'Diamond Sutra Scripture from the Western
Regions. Looking at its age, it should have originated from the Mid Tang Dynasty. Also, this scripture is
unique because it was written personally by an aristocratic Taoist monk. The Teachings of Buddhism
are profound and possess boundless merits. It's a really rare and high-quality antique." Upon hearing
the confirmation and appraisal of Master Qi. everyone in the room became excited. Shawn also smiled
confidently and proudly. The host was also ready to take this opportunity to announce the starting price
and begin with the bidding process. Right then, Shawn had an idea and he yelled, "Wait a minute!".
Then, he said to Old Mr Du with a smile, "Old Du, Master Qi's appraisal is over. You should also ask
your purveying specialist to check out this item and let us all know how interesting it is!" When
everyone heard this, they burst out in laughter instantly. Obviously, Shawn intended to embarrass Old
Mr Du and Fade. After all, they thought that Fade was not a capable appraiser. He had only been lucky
in acquiring the Ice Silk earlier. As the crowd was chuckling, Old Mr Du looked at Fade. Fade, however,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlooked calm. He nodded and said, "What Master Qi just said was quite accurate." Upon hearing this,
the crowd chuckled and started to criticize him with even louder voices. "This kid is trying to deceive us
with some vague explanations." "Speak clearly! Don’t repeat anything that Master Qi has already said."
"In my opinion, we should let him check on the item first. In this way, we can expose his fake identity."
Shawn also laughed and said, "Old Du, your purveying specialist really doesn’t have anything else to
say!" Old Mr Du was about to retort,but Fade smiled faintly and said, "There’s no need for further
explanations. The Buddhist treasure is confirmed to be an authentic item. Now, the most important
thing is to acquire it. As for other matters, they are not that important. As soon as he said that, there
was another round of giggles. Nonetheless, Fade did not care at all. He just whispered to Old Mr Du
and asked, "Old Mr Du, how much money did you prepare this time? I’m afraid that this volume of
scriptures is worth a lot!" Old Mr Du patted his own pocket and said in a soft and confident voice, "I
have prepared 120 million yuan this time. It will be enough." In general, if an item reached tens of
millions of yuan at the auction within their circle of collectors, it would be because it was of good quality.
This time, because of the authentic Buddhist treasure, Old Mr Du had prepared over 100 million yuan.
He felt that he had sufficient funds, and he was sure that he would acquire the item successfully.
However, when Shawn saw the smile on the corner of Old Mr Du’s mouth, he also replied softly with a
smile, "Old Du, do you think that amount is enough ? That’s just what you think!" While speaking,
Shawn patted his purse with great confidence, implying in his expression that everything was under
control Right then, the host finally announced the starting price of the Buddhist treasure, "The starting
price is 50 million yuan. At each bid,the amount will be raised at least by one million. Now, let’s begin
the auction!".
