The next lot was brought out immediately. A single red feather rested inside a transparent glass case on the pedestal. It was long and bright crimson, radiating a warm light that cast a pleasant glow over the stage.
"Our next item is the Crimson Bird Feather," Elder Feng announced, his smile inviting. "It was recovered from the nest of an ancient fire-bird. According to our experts, it carries a trace of the legendary phoenix bloodline. For cultivators of the fire element, this feather is an invaluable tool for refining or cultivation. Bidding starts at thirty thousand spirit stones."
In the lower tier, a young female cultivator from the Heavenly Phoenix Sect sat forward, her eyes shining with greed. She wore the golden-ribboned robes of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, and her gaze was fixed on the crimson feather.
"Forty thousand!" she called out, raising her bid token high.
