Chapter 69: 69: Rainbow Steel Silkworm

"What?!"

"Do you not believe in me?!" Ash taunted the Chief Auctioneer.

"Of course not! Your excellency! I strongly believe that this Immortal Herb will be sold right away!"

"Good! Once it was sold to the highest bidder, you may deduct my debt from the profit that I make from the item that was sold in this auction house. That way, I will never need to pay you any cash."

Zheng Ge was completely at a loss. He didn’t expect that the young appraiser could think until this far. On the other hand, Zheng Ge couldn’t force him to pay in cash lest he want to offend the Tang Family for harassing Tang Yigao’s Grand Disciple.

"Of course, of course! You can pay the bills in that manner!"

"Good. Just send me the paperwork after this. I still have some goods that I need to look at."

’Certainly, your excellency!"

Afterward, Ash turned to Zhu Yan, and he said, "I will leave them to you. Protect these ladies with your life."

"Yes, my lord."

With that said, Ash returned to his VIP Rooms with Zhou Rui by his side. The stark difference of their heights made them look like siblings if anything.

"Seriously, you are really full of surprises, young lord!"

"I even surprised myself back there." Ash quipped.

"Pardon?"

"Nevermind. Let’s focus on the item that you are aiming for."

"En! I will be in your care, Young Lord Xiao Hûo!"

As they had arrived in the VIP Room, the situation below them was already like a warzone. The Qi Condensation experts were ready to throw daggers at each other’s throat as the next auctioned items were shown on the pedestals.

"And now has come for all Seamstresses and Tailors to feast your eyes with this Epic Rainbow Steel Silkworm! We will start the price at 2,000 Tael of Gold Coins!"

"3,000 Tael of Gold Coins!"

"5,000!"

"5,505!"

"Eh? What is happening now?" Ash inquired while trying to perceive the items.

However, Zhou Rui’s keen eyes soon noticed the Rainbow Steel Silkworm from where she stood, "There it is! Can you appraise it from here?"

Ash narrowed his eyes, trying to focus on the fist-sized ball of colorful silk worm. Alas, the distance was too far away for his eyes in this humanoid form. "Unfortunately, no. I need to get close."

"Tsk! What should we do?! The item will be sold at this rate!"

"Hmmm..." Ash pondered for a moment. "Well, why don’t we go down and see the items for ourselves?!"

"Say what?! Can you not see there’s a literal war down there? If you say something foolish, you’d lose your head instead!"

"Nah, I will be fine. Just wait here."

"Ah! Wait a minute!" Zhou Rui produced a paper mask from her sleeve. "Wear this mask! It has aura cancelling attributes. They won’t be able to perceive your true self with this one."

Ash shrugged his shoulders and simply put the mask on his face. Afterward, Ash trudged downstairs and walked between the aisle, stealing everyone’s attention onto his person.

"Hey! Who’s that fucker!"

"Kick him out of this room! Wasn’t it prohibited to leave our seat during the auction!"

"This is not fair! If he could walk freely to check the items, so will I!"

Before things went out of control, Ash flaunted the Black Jade as proof that he’s the Grand Disciple of the legendary Tang Yigao! Ash knew very well that this is a shameless, underhanded trick, however, he couldn’t care less about it as long as he got the jobs done.

’I’m sorry, Master Yigao, I will repay you later. As of now, there is a friend that needs my help.’

As the Black Jade gave out the intimidating sheen, the crowd went silent. Only a fool would dare to offend the Tang Family! Furthermore, the young man’s cultivation stage was impossible to perceive as the paper mask completely eluded his aura and presence.

Before long, Ash had climbed the stage, making the female host smile awkwardly. The lady in white qipao was stammering as the young appraiser looked at the silkworm closely.

"Your excellency, would you please go back to your seat?"

"One moment." Ash raised his index finger in front of her face.

After a while, the system had identified the item and provided him with the detailed information. Just as Zhou Rui had expected, the Rainbow Steel Silkworm was not an Epic Rank Item but an Ultra-rare item. Although it was just one rank lower, the quality was way different like heaven and earth!

"Hey! Who registered this item?!" Ash scanned the crowd for a brisk moment. Soon enough, he found the VIP Room where Ma Yuan was in. "Oh, nevermind, everybody knows who had registered this Ultra-rare trash as an Epic Rank Item."

"Frivolous!"

"Liars!"

"Prove it if you can. And stop spouting nonsense!"

The Ma Family’s supporters were very agitated by his statement.

"Well, that’s very easy! All I need to do is just cut it with a regular steel sword! For your information, Rainbow Steel Silkworm is not producing silk at all. However, what you call silk is their secretions after consuming various different metals throughout their life. Henceforth, the rarity is quite tricky to be appraised. However, once you know the type of metal that it’s secreted, you could easily decide the rarity."

"As for this one, it only secreted Gold Grade Steel, which is categorized as mild steel! To test it, you could use Epic Rank Sentient Sword! If the silk could withstand a strike, then it is a legit Epic Rainbow Steel Silkworm. If the sword cuts through the steel thread, then this thing is only ultra-rare trash!"

The crowd were looking at each other. Epic Rank Sentient Sword could be treasured as a family heirloom. And of course, nobody would deliberately flaunt their family heirloom in front of the public like this.

"Does anyone have an Epic Rank Sentient Sword?!" Ash shouted to the crowd.

At a moment’s notice, there was a sentient sword flying at blinding speed right into his face!
