"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 trying 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 replace you, it will replace 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. Tu 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. Tu with a smile, "Old Tu, 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. Tu 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. Tu looked at Fade.

Fade, however, looked 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 Tu, your purveying specialist really doesn't have anything else to say!"

Old Mr. Tu 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. Tu and asked, "Old Mr. Tu, how much money did you prepare this time? I'm afraid that this volume of scriptures is worth a lot!"

Old Mr. Tu 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. Tu 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. Tu's mouth, he also replied softly with a smile, "Old Tu, 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!"
