The First Marquis of Daxuan

jingle.

A divine weapon was tossed into a corner like trash, colliding with other divine weapons scattered on the ground and making a crisp sound.

In just over half a month, Su Mu had already forged seven or eight divine weapons.

If Jiang Yizheng were to see this speed, he would be so shocked that his eyes would pop out of his head.

However, there was no one else in the foundry, so no one could witness Su Mu's feat.

Because no one can see him, Su Mu can act without any scruples.

For Su Mu, forging ordinary divine weapons was as simple as doing elementary school problems.

He only needed mechanical movements to forge these divine weapons, and he used far fewer materials than Jiang Yizheng.

Su Mu did not keep the saved forging materials; instead, he used them to forge other divine weapons.

For Su Mu, forging an ordinary divine weapon could yield anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of points.

It sounds like a lot, but it's still too little for a Shetland Sheepdog's needs.

He needs to forge enough divine weapons to accumulate enough points.

Whenever the materials ran out, Su Mu would simply walk out of the foundry, throw two of the forged weapons to Jiang Yizheng, and in return, he would receive another batch of forging materials.

Jiang Yizheng was so busy collecting divine weapons that he didn't care much about the materials used to forge them.

In his view, he had made a profit by giving the materials to Su Mu and Su Mu giving him the divine weapon.

Su Mu had only been at the Treasure Pavilion for a little over a year, yet he had already forged twenty or thirty divine weapons for him, making him a fortune.

Most importantly, Su Mu almost never left the Treasure Pavilion, focusing solely on forging weapons.

All Jiang Yizheng could say about these weapon-making divisions was, "Give him a few more!"

Ask for little, do a lot, and most importantly, do it exceptionally well!

Jiang Yizheng felt as if his luck had finally turned around.

If things continue like this, even if he does nothing, he will be able to recoup the wealth that was stolen from him in just a few years.

Jiang Yizheng now felt that Su Mu was asking for too little. He was even considering whether to give Su Mu a raise to prevent Su Mu from running away.

For example, add another half...

And so, several months passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Mu's wages still haven't increased.

But he no longer cared.

Looking at the divine weapons piled up like a small mountain in the corner of the room, Su Mu couldn't help but smile.

It's fine as a divine weapon, after all, it's just an ordinary divine weapon, not a Heavenly Mandate-level weapon.

For Su Mu now, only Heavenly Fate level weapons are worthy of his attention.

However, to Su Mu's delight, he had finally accumulated enough points to upgrade the Wu family's volcanic body.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mu threw the points he had painstakingly accumulated into Wu Jia Huoyan's body.

boom!
Su Mu's skin instantly turned crimson red.

Clear rock patterns emerged, and Su Mu's aura began to rise at a visible speed.

In just a few breaths, he had already broken through the gate of the Heavenly Profound Realm.

A visible wave of air, like boiling water, rolled outwards.

There was a bang.

The walls of the foundry on all four sides collapsed under the force of the impact.

In an instant, a deafening roar echoed, and dust billowed everywhere.

Such a commotion naturally alerted the people at the Treasure Pavilion.

Jiang Yizheng, along with the other weapon-forging masters from the Treasure Pavilion, all appeared and looked towards where Su Mu was.

Su Mu stood amidst the ruins, flames swirling around him, as if fire dragons were coiling around him.

The clear red rock patterns on his body exuded a mysterious and powerful feeling.

"Heavenly Profound Realm..."

Jiang Yizheng muttered to himself, suddenly feeling a little annoyed.

Wu Jiutong has actually broken through his cultivation level!

I should have raised his wages much earlier.

The wages of a Heavenly Profound Realm expert are definitely not the same as those of a Returning Void Realm expert.

Now that Wu Jiutong has broken through to the Heavenly Profound Realm, is he going to run away?

Jiang Yi was thinking anxiously.

The other weapon forgers had no vested interest in Su Mu; they were simply shocked that the Treasure Pavilion had gained such a powerful figure.
“Crimson rock patterns—this is the unique mark of the Wu family of Xiangzhou. When did our Treasure Pavilion recruit a powerful member of the Wu family of Xiangzhou?”

"Stop joking. The Wu family of Xiangzhou is no less powerful than our Treasure Pavilion. Anyone who can cultivate the Wu family's Body Refining Technique to the Heavenly Profound Realm must be a core disciple in the Wu family. How could they possibly join our Treasure Pavilion?"

"Or perhaps they were just passing through our Spring Breeze City and staying at our Treasure Pavilion. Master Jiang, am I right?"

The weapon-making masters of the Treasure Pavilion chatted amongst themselves, some of them openly mocking and subtly criticizing Jiang Yizheng.

Treasure Pavilion is also a small world of its own, with internal conflicts of interest.

Jiang Yizheng had been frantically accepting orders, and some people at the Treasure Pavilion wanted to see him make a fool of himself. If he accepted the orders but couldn't deliver the weapons by the deadline, it would ruin the Treasure Pavilion's reputation.

At that time, the Treasure Pavilion will not let Jiang Yizheng off easily.

Who would have thought that more than a year ago, Jiang Yizheng suddenly found an accomplice.

Then every few months he would bring out a batch of divine weapons to deliver.

Seeing this, the other weapon-making masters felt both jealous and envious.

However, they had never known Wu Jiutong's true identity before, but now they do.

It turns out that Wu Jiutong was a member of the Wu family in Xiangzhou.

This discovery shocked the weaponsmiths, but also brought them a sense of relief.

The Wu family members from Xiangzhou would never join the Treasure Pavilion and compete with them for jobs; they're probably just taking a break at the Treasure Pavilion in Chunfeng City.

As for helping Chiang Yi-cheng forge weapons, that was probably just something he did incidentally.

Jiang Yizheng's face darkened.

The crowd's discussion made him realize that Wu Jiutong was not some rootless wandering cultivator, unlike Xu Xian who was so easily fooled.

Now that Wu Jiutong has fallen from grace, he is willing to serve as cheap labor for himself.

But now that Wu Jiutong has broken through to the Heavenly Fate Realm, he has a bright future even if he returns to the Wu family in Xiangzhou, so there is no need for him to stay in the small Spring Breeze City.

This path to wealth is probably not going to last.

"Hmph, whether Brother Wu stays or leaves is none of your business."

Jiang Yizheng sneered, "He's not a weaponsmith from the Treasure Pavilion. He's here to help me."

Su Mu opened his eyes and just in time to hear Jiang Yizheng's words, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Jiang Yizheng's explanation changed quite quickly.

He previously claimed he was helping Su Mu, but now he's doing the opposite.

Is it because they saw that Su Mu's cultivation level had broken through?
The treatment of a Heavenly Profound Realm expert and a Returning Void Realm martial artist is indeed worlds apart.

Su Mu was also somewhat helpless.

He hadn't expected that Wu Jia's breakthrough in the Fire Rock Body would cause such a commotion.

This directly exposed him to the people of the Treasure Pavilion.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.

Fortunately, he managed to collect all the divine weapons in the room before the walls collapsed and the house crumbled.

Otherwise, if hundreds of divine weapons appeared before everyone, even if they had no suspicions before, they would definitely start to doubt Su Mu's identity now.

As long as those divine weapons are not exposed, there is nothing else to worry about.

Anyway, he has now broken through to the Wu Family Fire Rock Body.

It's quite reasonable for a genius like Wu to have broken through to the Heavenly Profound Realm.

“Master Jiang, I’ll pay for this house.”

Su Mu cupped his hands in greeting to Jiang Yizheng and said, "Deduct it from my salary."

“Brother Wu, what are you saying? It’s just a room, I, Jiang Yizheng, can easily afford it.”

Jiang Yi forced a smile and said, "Brother Wu, it's good that you've broken through to the Heavenly Profound Realm."

"Congratulations! I bet you won't be able to sleep tonight, Master Jiang."

A weapon forger from the Treasure Pavilion chuckled and said, "Forging a Heavenly Weapon costs you tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, while you yourself earn hundreds of thousands or even millions. Master Jiang, after knowing you for so long, I never knew you were so ruthless."

"And you've got some nerve, daring to scam even a Heavenly Profound Realm expert."

"What did you say?!"

Jiang Yizheng was furious.

Su Mu blinked, feigning ignorance.

Wherever there are people, there is a social hierarchy. Jiang Yizheng was making too much money, and some of his colleagues were envious.

This is blatant provocation.

If Su Mu really is Wu Jiutong, then he probably wouldn't be able to tolerate this.

Jiang Yizheng glanced at Su Mu, and seeing that Su Mu had no reaction, he glared at the weapon-making master who had spoken.

"Hey Liu, watch your mouth and stop spewing nonsense!"

Jiang Yizheng cursed angrily.

"You did it, and I can't say anything about it? Others may be afraid of you, Jiang Yizheng, but I'm not."

The weapon-making master surnamed Liu sneered, "I, Liu, simply cannot stand some people doing such despicable things!"

Who are you calling a scoundrel?

"Whoever admits it is the one we're talking about!"

Jiang Yizheng and the Liu-surnamed weapons-making master confronted each other like fighting cocks.

Even the usually aloof weaponsmiths can argue just as fiercely as street thugs.

Just as the two were about to start fighting, Su Mu coughed lightly.

"Gentlemen, may I have a word with you?"

Su Mu spoke.

"Brother Wu, don't listen to his nonsense."

Jiang Yizheng quickly said, "The orders I took were all from good friends, and the spirit stones they gave me were not much to begin with. Plus, I need to bribe some of them, so the amount you received might be less."

But don't worry, I absolutely won't let you suffer any losses. For each divine weapon, I'll personally give you an extra 50,000 high-grade spirit stones!"

Jiang Yizheng's face twitched, but his heart was bleeding.

How much does he earn from a single divine weapon? He's already given away half of it!

"Brother Wu, if you're willing to help me, I'll give you 100,000 for a divine weapon!"

The weapon-making instructor surnamed Liu shouted loudly, giving Jiang Yizheng a provocative look.

Jiang Yi was so angry that he trembled all over. He wished he could draw his knife immediately and cut off the head of the Liu family's weapon-making master!

"Gentlemen, please let me finish what I have to say."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

Although his tone was calm, it carried an undeniable air of authority.

For some reason, Jiang Yizheng and the Liu-surnamed weapon-making master instinctively shut their mouths, as if the person speaking was some important figure.

“Master Jiang is someone I trust, and this Master Liu must also be doing this for my own good. I am extremely grateful.”

Su Mu said slowly, "I don't really care about the amount of spirit stones."

Master Jiang gave me a chance to learn and grow, and I feel nothing but gratitude towards him.

"Brother Wu—"

Jiang Yizheng was deeply moved. "I told you, even if I have to eat chaff and wild vegetables, I won't let you suffer. I'll personally give you 50,000 high-grade spirit stones for each of these weapons..."

The weapon-making masters all showed disdain on their faces.

Even at this point, Jiang Yizheng is still trying to save face for himself.

They don't know how many spirit stones it takes to forge a divine weapon.
Then there are no less than 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.

It was precisely because Wu Jiutong was inexperienced that he was deceived by Jiang Yizheng.

“I told you, I don’t care about spirit stones.”

Su Mu shook his head and said, "All I want is a chance to gain experience."

"If you want an opportunity to gain experience, I can give you that too."

The weapon-forging master surnamed Liu said, "I will provide the materials, and you will forge the divine weapon. Moreover, I will not restrict what kind of divine weapon you forge; you are completely free to use your creativity."

"I'll give you two sets of materials; all you need to do is return me a divine weapon!"

"I can too!"

Jiang Yizheng quickly said, "Brother Wu, we can cooperate in this way too."

After Su Mu demonstrated his Heavenly Profound Realm cultivation, even Jiang Yizheng started using the word "cooperation."

Su Mu glanced at Jiang Yizheng, then at the Liu-surnamed weapons-making master.

He noticed that the other weaponsmiths in the Treasure Pavilion were also eager to make their move.

Who doesn't like cheap labor?
The weapon-making division also ran out of supplies.

If we could recruit someone to help us forge weapons, why not?
Exchanging two sets of materials for a divine weapon is definitely a profitable deal.

In the past, Jiang Yizheng was almost the only one who could have the final say at the Treasure Pavilion, because there were no conflicts of interest among them.

Once a conflict of interest arises, even at the risk of offending Chiang Yi-cheng, there are plenty of people who will step forward to take action.

"Everyone."

Su Mu said slowly, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I've stayed in Spring Breeze City long enough."

Next, I need to go to the Wuzong Temple to celebrate the birthday of the Martial Ancestor, so I can't stay here any longer.

However, before I leave, there is something I would like to ask for your help with.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yizheng and the Liu-surnamed weapons maker hesitated.

They only wanted Su Mu to be their cheap labor, not to help him in any way.

Su Mu smiled slightly and continued, "I have some divine weapons that I have forged over the years, and the quantity is quite good. I want to sell them."

After all, I need to prepare some gifts when I go to offer birthday wishes, right?
I would like to entrust Treasure Pavilion to sell these divine weapons for me, and of course, I will not let you suffer any losses.

"Can anyone help me sell a divine weapon? No matter the price, I'll only take half."

"half?"

The eyes of all the weaponsmiths lit up.

They only charge half; if a divine weapon sells for 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, they can make a net profit of 50,000.

This is much more profitable than they could earn by painstakingly forging their own weapons.

Forging a divine weapon themselves takes anywhere from three to five months to one or two years. In the end, they earn more than 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, but not by much.

Selling divine weapons is much simpler.

Divine weapons are always in short supply and can be sold easily.

Each one they acquired could earn them at least 50,000 high-grade spirit stones. Even though they were from the Treasure Pavilion, their breathing became somewhat heavy.

“Brother Wu, if you want to sell divine weapons, I have a good idea.”

The weapon-smith surnamed Liu said, "A divine weapon costs 50,000 high-grade spirit stones. I'll buy all the divine weapons you have!"

"Brother Liu, are you trying to hog all the food?"

This time, not only Jiang Yizheng was furious, but all the weapon-making divisions glared at the Liu-surname weapon-making division.

"Brother Wu, I'll offer 60,000."

Jiang Yizheng gritted his teeth and said.

I'll offer 70,000!

"Eighty thousand!"

The weapon-smiths at the Treasure Pavilion began to compete fiercely, bidding against each other. Su Mu found it quite amusing.

He had previously used materials provided by Jiang Yizheng to forge over a hundred divine weapons.

He only contributed some labor to these divine weapons; the materials he used all came from Jiang Yizheng, so it was essentially a business with no cost.

Of course, Su Mu's labor is priceless; even if it were worth 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, he would still be at a loss.

However, Su Mu's sale of divine weapons was not solely for the sake of spirit stones.

With his current strength, it would be beneath him to do something solely for the sake of spirit stones.

The weaponsmiths at the Treasure Pavilion were hundreds of years too early to be trying to profit from his spirit stones.

"There's no need for everyone to fight over it."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "Since everyone has their own channels, how about this?"

"Let's hold an auction in the name of the Treasure Pavilion. You can all invite guests to attend. Whoever invites a guest who wins the bid for the divine weapon will split the proceeds with Mr. Wu. What do you all think?"

"The auction is fine, but you have to tell us first how many divine weapons you have in total."

The weapon-smith surnamed Liu said, "If there are too few divine weapons, then it won't be enough to support an auction."

We went to great lengths to invite our friends over, only to find that we were only auctioning off a few divine weapons. How are we going to explain this to them?
The face we value is also very precious.

"Master Liu can rest assured about this."

Su Mu said, "No matter how many people you invite, I can guarantee that they will not be disappointed."

If anyone ultimately fails to acquire their desired divine weapon, I guarantee I will personally forge one for them.

Jiang Yizheng, the Liu-surname weapon-casting master, and the others from the Treasure Pavilion exchanged glances and fell into deep thought.

Holding an auction in the name of Treasure Pavilion is not difficult, and with their influence, inviting people to attend the auction is also not difficult.

Their hesitation stems from their uncertainty about Su Mu's true intentions.

After a long silence, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Yizheng.

“Master Jiang, what do you say? If you say we’ll do it, we’ll do it; if you say we won’t, we won’t.”

Everyone spoke one after another.

Jiang Yizheng cursed inwardly.

These bastards, when there's something to gain, they all shamelessly pounce on it, but now that it's time to take responsibility, they're all backing away.

What a bunch of bastards.

However, after thinking about it, Jiang Yizheng realized that holding an auction wouldn't seem to have much of an impact on their Treasure Pavilion.

“I trust Brother Wu. Since Brother Wu wants to prepare a congratulatory gift for the Martial Ancestor, we should certainly lend him a hand.”

This can be considered our way of sending our blessings to the Martial Ancestor from afar.

Jiang Yizheng cupped his hands in greeting and said.

"In that case, thank you very much, Master Jiang."

Su Mu said with a smile.

…………

News of the Treasure Pavilion's upcoming auction spread quickly.

Divine weapons are in high demand and short supply even in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

For many martial artists, even having money doesn't guarantee they can buy a divine weapon.

In the past, the Treasure Pavilion would only have one divine weapon appear every few months.

Now they're actually holding a grand auction, touting it as an unlimited supply of divine weapons, with everyone who attends getting a piece.

However, only those who receive an invitation are eligible to attend.

After all, the Treasure Pavilion also needs to screen who has the purchasing power.

Suddenly, all the weapon-smiths at the Treasure Pavilion became highly sought-after, because they held the power to issue invitations.

Spring Breeze City is the territory of the Azure Sky Sect.

Such sensational news naturally reached Qiu Beisong, the elder of the Azure Sky Sect who guarded Spring Breeze City.

He was holding an invitation to an auction in his hand.

"A tiny treasure pavilion, yet it boasts of unlimited supply of divine weapons?"

Qiu Beisong frowned slightly.

Last time the desert bandits attacked Spring Breeze City, he lost a man.

Although he later led the forces of the Azure Sky Sect to wipe out the Han Hai Sand Thieves, if such a thing were to happen again, he would no longer be able to serve as the town garrison commander of Spring Breeze Town; he might as well just find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

Therefore, he pays special attention to any slight movement in Spring Breeze City.

With such a commotion at the Treasure Pavilion, how could Qiu Beisong not have some concerns?

"My lord, according to our investigation, the reason why the Treasure Pavilion caused such a commotion is because of one person."

"Who?"

“Wu Jiutong, a disciple of the Wu family of Xiangzhou.”

The disciple from the Azure Sky Sect said respectfully, "He was introduced by Xu Xian."

"Xu Xian? The young man who single-handedly lured away the desert pirates that day?"

Qiu Beisong frowned and said that, to be honest, he still owed a favor to that young man named Xu Xian.

If it weren't for that young man who lured away the desert bandits, the losses to Spring Breeze City would have been even more severe, and he wouldn't have been able to explain it to the sect.

What was he doing bringing the disciples of the Wu family from Xiangzhou to Chunfeng City?
The Wu family of Xiangzhou had no dealings with the Cangqiong Sect.

"That's right. It is said that Wu Jiutong and Xu Xian met in Yin Ruins. Wu Jiutong wanted to gain experience and also wanted to prepare a congratulatory gift for the Martial Ancestor. So Xu Xian introduced him to the Treasure Pavilion in Spring Breeze City, hoping that Wu Jiutong could use his weapon-forging skills to earn some spirit stones."

The disciple of the Azure Sky Sect said, "Wu Jiutong's weapon-forging skills are quite good. He helped Jiang Yizheng forge several divine weapons."

This auction was also because Wu Jiutong had taken out his savings accumulated over the years, wanting to exchange them for spirit stones to prepare a congratulatory gift for the Martial Ancestor.

"Preparing a congratulatory gift for the Martial Ancestor, and they actually come to our Azure Sky Sect's territory to earn spirit stones?"

Qiu Beisong snorted coldly.

If it were anything else, he would turn a blind eye out of respect for Xu Xian.

But who in the world doesn't know that the Martial Sect and the Azure Sky Sect are rivals?
Preparing a congratulatory gift for the Martial Ancestor, and then coming all the way to their Cangqiong Sect's territory—isn't that a blatant provocation?
"I guess it's because Wu Jiutong is so naive and doesn't understand the ways of the world..."

The Cangqiong Sect disciple said cautiously, "It is said that he helped Jiang Yizheng refine divine weapons. For each weapon he refined, Jiang Yizheng only gave him 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, and he didn't even have any objections."

The Wu family of Xiangzhou has always been isolated. This is probably his first time venturing into the martial world, so he has no idea that Spring Breeze City is the territory of our Azure Sky Sect, nor does he know that our Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect are at odds.

"Are you making an explanation for him?"

Qiu Beisong snorted coldly.

"This disciple dares not; this disciple is merely informing you of the information I have gathered."

The disciple of the Azure Sky Sect quickly replied.

"Ignorance is no excuse, but those who are ignorant must also pay the price for their actions."

Qiu Beisong said coldly, "Since he dares to act so recklessly on the territory of my Cangqiong Sect, then this elder will see if he can bring this congratulatory gift to the Martial Ancestor!"

Qiu Beisong's face was filled with murderous intent.

…………

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Mu spread his hands apart, and a surge of power rippled outwards.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill has finally been perfected.

His clone has now cultivated both the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique and the Wu Family Fire Rock Body to perfection, and has become one of the best in the Heavenly Fate Realm.

In the Heavenly Fate Realm, there are very few people who can defeat him.

This is the result of his long-term efforts since he arrived in the Sacred Realm of the Great Void.

As a byproduct, his storage space gained hundreds of divine weapons.

Although they are just ordinary divine weapons, when their numbers reach a certain level, they are still quite terrifying.

However, the people at the Treasure Pavilion were unaware that Su Mu possessed so many divine weapons.

In their view, Su Mu having twenty or thirty divine weapons was already the limit.

So the number of invitations they sent out was actually the same.

After all, even in the Taixu Sacred Realm, only a few people can afford divine weapons.

There are even fewer near Spring Breeze City.

"The auction is about to begin."

Su Mu raised his head and looked towards the front hall of the Treasure Pavilion.

Fortunately, he successfully broke through before the auction began.

With the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques perfected, he felt even more confident in his actions.

The demon cat once said that once the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques were perfected, one would be able to roam freely throughout the world.

This avatar, while still somewhat different from the original, is not far off.

Even Su Mu himself didn't expect that his avatar could cultivate the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique to perfection so quickly.

This is because he had a successful experience before, so the number of points he needed to spend this time was greatly reduced.

Secondly, it was also because Jiang Yizheng and others provided him with enough materials for forging weapons, allowing him to quickly accumulate points through weapon forging.

Of course, the environment of the Taixu Sacred Realm also played a part.

"I wonder if the guardian elder of the Azure Sky Sect has come or not. If he hasn't come, this show will be difficult to put on."

Su Mu thought to himself.

He took a step and walked towards the auction venue.

…………

The auction venue.

Qiu Beisong sat in the very center.

Those sitting around him were all prominent figures from the vicinity of Spring Breeze City.

Even Jiang Yizheng felt a little apprehensive seeing so many people in the audience.

The weapon-casting master surnamed Liu and his group had lost their previous confrontational spirit. They all gathered together, discussing how to get through the auction.

This incident has caused such a big stir; if anything goes wrong, the reputation of Treasure Pavilion will be completely ruined.

Whether it was Jiang Yizheng or the Liu-surname weapon-making master and others, they all felt some regret now.

Why were they so bewitched to agree to Wu Jiutong's request?

"Master Jiang, will Wu Jiutong have any problems?"

The weapon-making masters asked in hushed tones.

"You've only thought of asking me now."

Jiang Yizheng said irritably, "How would he know?"

but--

"Wu Jiutong is undoubtedly a disciple of the Wu family of Xiangzhou. The Wu family of Xiangzhou has been entrenched in Xiangzhou for thousands of years and has accumulated a deep foundation. Wu Jiutong should indeed possess some divine weapons."

Jiang Yizheng said.

His words did not reassure the people; instead, they made them even more anxious.

should?

What they want is not what they should want.

Where is Wu Jiutong?

The weapon-making master, surnamed Liu, looked around and whispered.

"Master Liu is looking for me?"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly saw Su Mu walking slowly towards him, a warm smile on his face.

"There are fewer people here today than I expected."

Su Mu glanced at the audience below the stage and spoke.

"few?"

The weapon-making division members looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Brother Wu, tell me honestly, how many divine weapons do you actually have?"

If it's not enough, we'll try to scrape together some more, just enough to get the auction through.

Jiang Yizheng grabbed Su Mu's arm and whispered.

“Master Jiang, looking down on people is not a good habit.”

Su Mudao.

His arm trembled slightly, shaking off Jiang Yizheng's hand.

The next moment, Su Mu's figure blurred, and he arrived directly on the high platform of the auction.

Before Jiang Yizheng and the others could even exclaim in surprise, Su Mu had already waved his sleeve.

All of a sudden.

The auction hall was filled with dazzling light.

One by one, divine weapons radiating strange light appeared on the high platform, arranged in a neat row.

Jiang Yizheng and the others were all taken aback.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the number of divine soldiers was exactly the same as the number of guests below the stage.

This made them breathe a sigh of relief.

After breathing a sigh of relief, everyone's faces showed shock.

"Master Jiang, you said that Wu Jiutong came to help you forge weapons to earn money for his journey because he was short of money?"
You call this being short of money?

The weapon-making master, surnamed Liu, pointed at the divine weapons and glared at Jiang Yizheng.

Jiang Yizheng was speechless.

He doesn't know either.

With so many powerful weapons, why would we need to work for him?

Could it be because Wu Jiutong enjoys being treated like a slave?

Below the high platform, Qiu Beisong narrowed his eyes slightly.

Twenty-seven divine weapons.

Is Wu Jiutong staging a protest?
Ordinary people, who could casually produce twenty-seven divine weapons?

Qiu Beisong had some doubts at first, but now he was certain that Wu Jiutong was after their Cangqiong Sect!
Even for the Azure Sky Sect, producing twenty-seven divine weapons was somewhat of a strain.

Wu Jiutong, an unknown figure, traveled to the remote and impoverished Chunfeng City and brought out twenty-seven divine weapons at once, all to raise spirit stones to prepare a congratulatory gift for the Martial Ancestor.

Is this reasonable?

Qiu Beisong narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Su Mu on the stage.

This seemingly ordinary Wu Jiutong gave him a very dangerous feeling.

As an elder of the Azure Sky Sect, Qiu Beisong always preferred to strike first.

Now that it's confirmed that Wu Jiutong is after their Azure Sky Sect, there's no need to hesitate.

"Those who are not involved in the affairs of the Azure Sky Sect should stay away."

Qiu Beisong spoke coldly, his voice instantly reaching the ears of everyone present.

Everyone was stunned.

What do you mean?
Is the Azure Sky Sect trying to monopolize everything?
They came to attend the auction, which is about to begin, and they have all seen the divine weapons.

Should we ask them to back down now?
Even if your Sky Dome Sect is powerful, you can't be this domineering.

"Lord Qiu, what do you mean by this?"

A bold expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm spoke up.

"Are you sure you want to inquire about the affairs of my Azure Sky Sect?"

Qiu Beisong glanced at him and said coldly. (End of Chapter)
