Lu Yang’s proposal was quickly agreed upon by the three. The most valuable part of the Twin Lotus was the flower, the seeds were not worth much.

The seeds could not grow into a new Twin Lotus. The appearance of the Twin Lotus was random. A common lotus, under various conditions, could potentially become a Twin Lotus.

In the words of the Immortal Maiden, the twin origin was hidden in all lotus flowers, and the key was how to stimulate the twin origin.

“So it’s decided. Brother Lu gets the seeds, and we three will sell the flower and split the spirit stones.”

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

The seeds had a special fragrance. Lu Yang subconsciously sniffed and found it pleasant.

…

As usual, the servant of the trading company was receiving guests. At this moment, three men in black barged into the company, alerting him.

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

“Young Master Meng?” The servant recognized the voice. It was the young master of the Meng family.

So the one next to him was a disciple of the Seek Tao Sect?

And who was the third man in black?

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

The faces of Lu Yang and the others had been memorized by all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Demon Suppression Pass. They would be hunted down if they went out.

Out of necessity, the three of them had to wear masks.

Tao Yaoye had only shown her back to those people from the beginning to the end, so she wouldn’t be recognized and could walk freely in the outside world.

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

He led the four into the reception room. Meng Jingzhou took out the Twin Lotus, which caught the servant’s eye. He didn’t expect the hotly debated Twin Lotus to end up in Meng Jingzhou’s hands.

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

“Forty thousand spirit stones.”

Meng Jingzhou frowned, thinking the price was too low. He had to spend five hundred thousand spirit stones to buy a piece of Phoenix Blood Stone.

Tao Yaoye nodded, thinking the price was reasonable. Meng Jingzhou thought 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 low, our company is about to hold an auction. The main cultivators targeted are at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Elixir stages, which is suitable for auctioning the Twin Lotus. What do you think?”

Meng Jingzhou thought for a moment: “Alright, then take it to the auction.”

He hadn’t been to an auction for a long time.

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

The trading company had already released the news that the Twin Lotus would be auctioned, attracting many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and half-step Golden Elixir cultivators. Looking around, they were all familiar faces.

The auction was hosted by a rare beauty who called herself Xiao Yue. Her figure was enchanting and eye-catching.

This was a great attraction for the cultivators of the Demon Suppression Pass who were always on the edge of life and death.

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

“The first auction item is different from the past. Throughout the history of the Demon Suppression Pass auction, it is a unique item. Even Xiao Yue was stunned when she saw it.”

The beautiful hostess pulled off the red cloth, revealing the first auction item—a wig.

“This wig was meticulously crafted by Master Guan for three days and three nights. Wearing this wig, you can not only change your hairstyle at will, but more importantly, this wig can promote hair growth. In other words, as long as you wear it, your hair will grow back in a few days!”

“This is also a rare magical tool with certain defensive functions!”

As soon as the first auction item came out, the eyes of the people below the stage clearly brightened.

They were all people whose heads had been shaved by Lu Yang. What they needed most now was a wig!

What a good thing!

The price of wigs in the Demon Suppression Pass had skyrocketed, and the prices were outrageous. Those were all ordinary wigs, far inferior to the one on stage.

Instead of spending money on an ordinary wig, it’s better to spend a little more on a better wig.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were unmoved. They had lost their hair earlier than others, and now they had grown lush hair on their heads, so they were no longer bald.

Moreover, the quality of this wig was obviously not as good as Li Haoran’s.

“Starting price, five hundred spirit stones!”

“Five hundred!”

“Six hundred!”

“Eight hundred!”

“One thousand spirit stones!”

The wig quickly rose to one thousand spirit stones, which was unimaginable in the past.

A thousand spirit stones for a wig was already the limit for this wig.

Suddenly, a voice sounded, pushing the price of the wig to a new high.

“One thousand five hundred spirit stones!”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was the first cultivator who had been hit by Lu Yang’s Arhat Fist, Duan Hongchen of the Heavenly Inquiry Sword!

As a half-step Golden Elixir cultivator, Duan Hongchen was wealthy. A wig that could freely change hairstyles for one thousand five hundred spirit stones was worth it!

“The second auction item is a bottle of elixir, from the alchemy master Wu Ming of the Seek Tao Sect!”

“Wu Ming?” Lu Yang was taken aback when he heard the familiar name. He was too familiar with Wu Ming. The Ten Oxen Strength Pill was his creation.

Whether it was alchemy or poison refining, Wu Ming had his own insights.

The guests were buzzing with discussion.

“Is it something from the Seek Tao Sect?”

“Items from the Five Great Immortal Sects are rarely circulated! It must be a good thing!”

“I wonder what the effect of the elixir is.”

“When was the last time something produced by the five major immortal sects appeared? It was from the Five Elements Sect. I heard that the Seek Tao Sect is even stronger than the Five Elements Sect, so their stuff must be extraordinary!”

Clearly, most grassroots cultivators didn’t know much about the Seek Tao Sect.

The beautiful hostess took out a jade bottle, inside which were a few gray-brown elixirs, encircled by three elixir patterns. The scent of the elixir was intoxicating, and one could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.

“This is a bottle of Inedia Elixir.”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sigh of disappointment from the audience regarding the second auction item.

The Seek Tao Sect was powerful, but no matter how powerful, could they really produce Inedia Elixirs of different flavors?

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

She smiled slightly and began to explain, “When you go into the dense forest to hunt monsters, the most common method is to use poison. However, monsters are naturally sensitive and can distinguish right from wrong, and they will instinctively avoid poison.”

“That’s when this bottle of Inedia Elixir comes in handy.”

“This is not an ordinary Inedia Elixir. To call it an elixir is actually more accurate to call it a poison. Or rather, it is an elixir, but the effect of taking it is poison.”

“Its efficacy is thousands to tens of thousands of times that of ordinary Inedia Elixirs.”

“Just think about it, what would happen if a monster ate this Inedia Elixir? It’s equivalent to taking tens of millions of Inedia Elixirs, which far exceeds the monster’s tolerance and would instantly burst its stomach.”

“In other words, it would be stuffed to death.”

The audience gasped in surprise. They never expected that Inedia Elixirs could be used in this way.

“I suspect that Brother Wu Ming made a mistake in refining the elixir and ended up with a bottle of this stuff. He’s selling it to make up for the loss.” Lu Yang made a reasonable guess.

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

Others didn’t know the details about Wu Ming and thought this was an elixir carefully refined by Master Wu Ming. Moreover, with the backing of the Seek Tao Sect, the quality of the elixir was guaranteed.

Soon, this Inedia Elixir that could stuff people to death was auctioned off for six thousand per bottle, bought by a Golden Elixir stage cultivator.

Lu Yang and the others were all disciples of the Seek Tao Sect. They had seen all kinds of good things, and the following auction items were quite boring and uninteresting.

“The sixth auction item is a piece of red silk, of unknown age and material.”

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

“Huh, this thing looks familiar.” The Immortal Maiden exclaimed.
