The First Marquis of Daxuan

Qiu Beisong felt his face burning.

Using treasures to exchange for spirit stones is, in the world of martial arts, a very common thing.

But Qiu Beisong still felt extremely embarrassed.

He had previously made a solemn promise that no matter who offered what price, he would offer one more spirit stone than the other party.

In the end, he couldn't produce that many spirit stones and had to use the treasures he had to offset the cost.

Qiu Beisong even felt that everyone around him was mocking him in their hearts.

"Lord Qiu, I wonder what treasure you are referring to—"

Jiang Yizheng spoke up.

As the host, the transaction between Jiang Yizheng and Su Mu was naturally conducted under the witness of the Treasure Pavilion.

Moreover, Su Mu had stated beforehand that he would only keep half of the proceeds from the sale of the divine weapon, while the other half would go to the Treasure Pavilion.

Qiu Beisong happened to be invited by Jiang Yizheng.

In other words, if this deal goes through, Su Mu will receive 2.5 million high-grade spirit stones, while the remaining 2.5 million will belong to Jiang Yizheng.

Jiang Yizheng didn't care about that small change, so he gave it to Su Mu.

That's why Jiang Yizheng was more interested in this deal than anyone else.

Of course, there is another reason.

Qiu Beisong used treasures to counter the spirit stone, which is just like pawning something at a pawnshop.

If you pawn something at a pawn shop, can you get it for the original price?

impossible.

Giving you half the price is already very generous.

Therefore, their Treasure Pavilion can still make another profit from Qiu Beisong.

In this way, despite Su Mu and Qiu Beisong's fierce confrontation, it was actually their Treasure Pavilion that ultimately benefited.

Jiang Yizheng glanced at the Liu-surname weapon forger and the others, thinking to himself, "Let these guys share the difference that Qiu Beison offset. After all, Treasure Pavilion still needs them to support it. If we don't give them some benefits, how can they stand on the same side with me wholeheartedly?"
Qiu Beisong kept a straight face and looked straight ahead. He took something out of his storage weapon and tossed it to Jiang Yizheng.

Everyone's eyes followed Qiu Beisong's movements and fell on Jiang Yizheng's hands.

Of course, you should watch the whole play.

They are all very curious now.

What treasure did Qiu Beisong bring to settle the debt?

Surely the items brought out by the elders of the Azure Sky Sect can't be too bad.

Paying such a high price for a celestial weapon, I wonder what Qiu Beisong is feeling right now.

"This is--"

Jiang Yi looked at the thing in his hand, a look of doubt on his face.

He looked pleadingly at the Liu-surnamed weapons maker and others.

"Brother Liu, you should all come and take a look. This is considered an official matter for our Treasure Pavilion."

Jiang Yizheng said.

As soon as he said this, the Liu family's weapon-making master and the others all understood.

This is Jiang Yizheng's intention to share the price difference with them.

Thinking they could get a share of the profits, everyone rushed forward.

After a long while, the weapon forgers looked at each other, their faces turning rather grim.

I'm not sure.

I don't recognize it.

"Hard to say."

All the weapon-making masters spoke up somewhat awkwardly.

The weapon-smiths at the Treasure Pavilion were all completely unable to recognize what treasure Qiu Beisong had brought out.

Others in the auction hall also began to whisper among themselves.

Logically speaking, the weapon-smiths at the Treasure Pavilion are all experts. They are knowledgeable and experienced, especially in appraising rare and precious materials, which is far superior to that of ordinary martial artists.

Even ordinary Heavenly Fate Realm experts might not be able to compare with them in this aspect.

With so many weapon forgers in the Treasure Pavilion, not a single one can recognize this treasure.

Although everyone could see it clearly, they still couldn't say what the treasure was.

"Humph."

Qiu Beisong snorted coldly, "This item was obtained by me after killing the leader of the Desert Bandits in the Vast Sea."

The leader of the desert bandits regarded it as a treasure and was unwilling to give it up until his death.

Think about it, how much is this thing worth?

Although the Desert Bandits were a group of robbers, they plundered and looted, and their treasures far exceeded those of ordinary martial artists.

Needless to say, the leader of the desert bandits was also a major figure.

The things he treasures must be extraordinary.

"If it's a treasure obtained from the leader of the Desert Bandits, then it must be extraordinary. I think it's worth at least five million high-grade spirit stones."

A powerful expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm spoke up.

Anyway, saying a few words won't affect him much, and it can even curry favor with Qiu Beisong. It's a win-win situation without costing him anything, so why not?
"Your treasures are covered in dust. If you can't even recognize this, you might as well close down."

"Enough with the nonsense. Do you think Elder Qiu would take advantage of your Treasure Pavilion? Just give us the spirit stones."

Those people, enjoying the spectacle, laughed and joked.

Jiang Yizheng and the Liu-surnamed weapons maker looked at each other, unable to make a decision.

Five million high-grade spirit stones is no small sum.

Even if their Treasure Pavilion were to take out five million high-grade spirit stones, it would still be a painful blow.

The key issue is that they are unsure of the true value of this treasure.

What if this thing is only worth a few hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, but they gave Qiu Beisong five million high-grade spirit stones instead? Who will bear this loss?

Even if weapon blacksmiths earn spirit stones more easily than ordinary martial artists, they still can't afford such losses.

Jiang Yizheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked at Su Mu.

"Brother Wu, after all, the immortal weapon we're auctioning is yours. Why don't you come and take a look?"
"If you think it's worth five million high-grade spirit stones, we'll give it to you. If not, we'll negotiate with Lord Qiu again."

Jiang Yizheng began to speak.

As soon as he spoke, the Liu family's weapon-making master and others gave him a thumbs up in their hearts.

It still has to be Jiang Yizheng.

That's why they say he's the chief weaponsmith of the Treasure Pavilion.

That's a really fast brain.

If this invaluable treasure is given directly to Wu Jiutong, then Wu Jiutong will bear all the risks, and he will have to pay 2.5 million high-grade spirit stones out of his own pocket to give their Treasure Pavilion.

In other words, Treasure Pavilion can make a net profit of 2.5 million high-grade spirit stones without taking any risks.

Of course, there are still some risks involved.

That is, if the treasures Qiu Beisong brings out are worth more than five million high-grade spirit stones, then their Treasure Pavilion will suffer a loss.

After all, if they take the treasure themselves and then give Qiu Beisong five million high-grade spirit stones, they can make a profit from the price difference of one treasure.

When comparing the risks and rewards, they still felt that Jiang Yizheng's approach was the safest.

"not good."

Su Mu shook his head and said calmly, "In my opinion, this item is worth at most three million high-grade spirit stones. Therefore, Lord Qiu will need to pay me another two million and one high-grade spirit stones."

If possible, I'll take the loss and agree.

If that doesn't work, then I'm sorry, Lord Qiu, you'd better send someone back to fetch the spirit stones.

Qiu Beisong's face darkened instantly, and he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

He didn't know what use the spoils he got from the leader of the Desert Bandits.

He had done a lot of research these days, only to find that the thing was a complete piece of junk.

He brought it out this time in an attempt to minimize his losses.

After all, keeping this thing in his possession is useless except for taking up space. If it can be worth five million high-grade spirit stones, then he's still making a profit.

Exchanging something useless for a divine weapon seems like a worthwhile deal.

I never expected Wu Jiutong to be so ungrateful. He didn't appreciate the opportunity I gave him!
You think you can make spirit stones from me, Qiu Beisong? You might make a name for yourself, but you won't live to spend them!
"It's only two million, here you go."

Qiu Beisong said coldly, casually tossing out a bag.

Su Mu raised his hand and grabbed the storage bag. The instant the bag was in his hand, his divine sense had already counted the spirit stones inside.

"I'm sorry, Lord Qiu, we're still short one piece."

Su Mu smiled slightly and said.

Qiu Beisong was so angry that his beard trembled. He had already gotten five million high-grade spirit stones, and you were still short one?
Qiu Beison threw out a high-grade spirit stone, too ashamed to linger any longer. He grabbed the immortal weapon in mid-air and turned to walk away.

"Wu Jiutong, you'd better behave yourself in Spring Breeze City. If you dare to break the rules of Spring Breeze City, I will not let you off lightly!"

Qiu Beisong's voice came from afar.

Su Mu smiled slightly, not taking it to heart.

He did not stop Qiu Beisong from taking the immortal weapon. The money was exchanged for the weapon, which was originally intended for Qiu Beisong to take away.

Su Mu raised his hand and grabbed the item that Qiu Beisong had taken out to pay off the debt, then tossed the storage bag to Jiang Yizheng.

"I keep my word."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "Half of it is yours now. I don't care how you divide it."

Here are two million high-grade spirit stones. You can take them first. I'll use five divine weapons to offset the remaining five hundred thousand.

As he spoke, Su Mu threw out five more divine weapons, which were then planted on the high platform.

Those Heavenly Fate Realm experts who had originally thought they had finished watching the excitement and were preparing to leave all stopped in their tracks and sat back down upon seeing this.

"Jiang Yizheng, do you sell these divine weapons at your Treasure Pavilion?"

"A martial artist asked loudly."

"Sell! Of course, sell!"

Jiang Yizheng said without hesitation.

Their Treasure Pavilion is a business that makes money from spirit stones and divine weapons. They are weapon blacksmiths themselves, so they have no shortage of them.

With business coming in, Jiang Yizheng and his group completely forgot about the treasures Qiu Beisong had brought to settle the debt and began chatting with the customers.

Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention with the five divine weapons, Su Mu slowly walked to the side.

Once he reached a secluded spot in the backyard, he took out the items he had received from Qiu Beisong, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face.

The item Qiu Beisong took out to settle the debt was a palm-sized, irregularly shaped black stone slab. Its material was neither jade nor stone, and its surface was covered with dark gold cracks, with a faint liquid gold light flowing deep within the cracks.

The entire item was simple and unadorned, cold and heavy to the touch, and no spiritual energy fluctuations could be felt.

Su Mu exerted force with his hand, but the black stone slab remained motionless.

Qiu Beisong, Jiang Yizheng, and others couldn't recognize the origin of this thing, but no one dared to say it was an ordinary object.

Su Mu said it was worth three million high-grade spirit stones, and Jiang Yizheng and the others did not refute it.

That's because Jiang Yizheng and other weapon-making masters at the Treasure Pavilion also felt that it might be very valuable.

"Brother Cat is right, the Desert Bandits of the Vast Sea do indeed have a close relationship with the Martial Ancestor."

Su Mu muttered to himself, "Who would have thought that this small stone tablet would contain the incomplete mental cultivation method of the Martial Ancestor's Primordial Golden Body?"

The Primordial Golden Body is a body-refining technique created by the Martial Ancestor to surpass the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques.

Su Mu had witnessed the power of the Hunyuan Golden Body on Tian Cangchen before, and it was indeed remarkable.

This small stone tablet is called the Zhenwu Zhenhai Tablet.

The cracks on the stone tablet are actually the first six levels of the Hunyuan Golden Body technique that the Martial Ancestor carved with his finger strength when he was young.

The Primordial Golden Body has nine levels. Once the first six levels are completed, one will have reached the Heavenly Profound Realm cultivation level.

The final three levels are only for those who have reached the Heavenly Fate Realm. Once cultivated to the ninth level, its power is no less than that of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques.

Su Mu learned about the relationship between the Desert Bandits and the Martial Ancestor from the demonic cat. It was also the demonic cat that told Su Mu that the leader of the Desert Bandits possessed a treasure that was closely related to the Martial Ancestor, which had now fallen into the hands of the Azure Sky Sect.

At that time, the demon cat looked gloating and said that the Martial Ancestor must be very anxious and angry, but he dared not show it too much, so as not to attract the attention of the Azure Sky Sect.

The demonic cat was certain that the Martial Ancestor was secretly plotting how to reclaim the True Martial Sea-Suppressing Stele.

It was precisely because he knew this news that Su Mu came to Spring Breeze City to stage such a grand show.

From beginning to end, Su Mu's true purpose was to sing the praises of Qiubei.

He put on such a grand show just to get the Zhenwu Zhenhai Stele from Qiu Beisong.

As he expected, the Zhenwu Zhenhai Stele was of little use to Qiu Besong. When Qiu Besong was short of spirit stones, he immediately threw out the useless Zhenwu Zhenhai Stele.

"Brother Cat's words were vague, but from what he said, it seems that the Zhenwu Zhenhai Stele is very important to the Martial Ancestor."

If it's just because of the cultivation techniques on the Zhenwu Zhenhai Stele, it doesn't seem like that's the case.

Su Mu observed the Zhenwu Zhenhai Stele as he pondered.

While the Hunyuan Golden Body technique is indeed precious, for someone like the Martial Ancestor, the first six levels of the Hunyuan Golden Body technique are nothing to worry about even if they are leaked.

Those who can cultivate to the level of Martial Ancestor must be extremely confident individuals.

Even if they practice the same technique at the same time, they will definitely have enough confidence to surpass others.

If a martial artist who pursues the path of physical immortality lacks even this much courage, then he could never become a Martial Ancestor.

If the Martial Ancestor cares so much about the True Martial Sea-Suppressing Stele, then it can only mean that the True Martial Sea-Suppressing Stele has other functions.

However, Su Mu cannot see it yet.

“Jiang Yizheng and the others are quite knowledgeable. They all regarded the Zhenwu Zhenhai Stele as a piece of trash. I can see that the cultivation techniques recorded on the stele are much stronger than theirs.”

Su Mu thought to himself, "But to completely unravel the secret of the True Martial Sea-Suppressing Stele, I need to know more information."

Unfortunately, the cat is very secretive; even if you ask it, it might not answer.

As Su Mu was thinking, a figure suddenly approached furtively.

When Su Mu looked up, he saw that the person who had come was Ji Yu'an.

"Senior Wu."

Ji Yu'an approached Su Mu, first glancing around to make sure no one was watching, then whispered, "I've done as you said, my brothers from the Medicine Gang—"

"Don't worry, they've returned home safely."

Su Mu smiled slightly and said.

Su Mu had no choice but to use drugs to coerce Ji Yu'an into helping him.

After all, he had no one else in the Taixu Sacred Realm who could use him.

"These are spirit stones given to me by a senior—"

Ji Yu'an handed over the storage ring in her hand.

How could Ji Yu'an possibly come up with five million high-grade spirit stones?
These things were given to him by Su Mu. "Keep them for yourself; consider them your reward for this adventure."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "If the Azure Sky Sect comes looking for you afterward, just tell them the truth."

I imagine the Azure Sky Sect won't make things difficult for you.

Su Mu's use of medicine to threaten Ji Yu'an's life may not have been without the intention of leaving Ji Yu'an a way out.

Ji Yu'an's public competition with Qiu Beisong caused Qiu Beisong to spend several million high-grade spirit stones, which was almost equivalent to completely offending Qiu Beisong.

Qiu Beisong alone is terrifying enough, let alone the Cangqiong Sect behind him.

If Qiu Beisong were to cause trouble for the Medicine Gang afterward, he could easily destroy it.

Now, Ji Yu'an at least has one more opportunity to explain.

He was also coerced and had no other choice.

Unless Qiu Beisong is completely insane, it is impossible for him to commit such a heinous act as destroying his family and clan over such a trivial matter.

Ji Yu'an looked at the storage ring on her hand, her expression complex, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Five million high-grade spirit stones.

He had worked hard all his life and had never seen so many high-grade spirit stones.

He has earned so many high-grade spirit stones just by bidding a few times at auctions.

What about all those brothers in the medicine gang who risked their lives to sell medicinal herbs?

These powerful beings at the Heavenly Fate Realm can easily command millions of high-grade spirit stones with a mere wave of their hand; they'd be willing to risk their lives for them.

Comparing people to each other is truly disheartening.

Ji Yu'an sighed inwardly.

He really wanted to say something with backbone: "Put away your stinking spirit stones, I don't want them."

But he didn't return the spirit stones; instead, he kept them.

Five million high-grade spirit stones are enough to allow the brothers of the Medicine Gang to live comfortably for a few years.

After going through this ordeal, everyone does need some compensation.

Even for Ji Yu'an, this seemingly easy task actually involved taking a huge risk.

He practically offended Qiu Beisong to the point of death.

Who was Qiu Beisong?

That's the guardian of Spring Breeze City, a dignified elder of the Azure Sky Sect!
It's no exaggeration to say that if you offend him, you'll have nowhere to stand in Spring Breeze City.

Although this Senior Wu in front of him said he would leave him a way out, it was uncertain whether the Azure Sky Sect would believe him.

Even if the Azure Sky Sect believes in them, it's uncertain whether they will ultimately let the Medicine Gang go.

After this incident, Ji Yu'an's heart was broken. He would disband the Medicine Gang and find a place to retire.

Su Mu glanced at Ji Yu'an.

With his rich experience, he could naturally see Ji Yu'an's complicated feelings.

However, Su Mu felt no guilt.

In the world of martial arts, even if you don't meet him today, you'll meet someone else in the future.

The martial arts world is inherently a place where one licks blood from the edge of a knife.

Ji Yu'an is fortunate to have survived to this day.

Moreover, it won't be long before the Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect clash, and at that time, they won't have the spare time to pay attention to a small medicine gang.

So overall, Ji Yu'an did take a risk, but it was still within a controllable range.

Such a small risk, in exchange for five million high-grade spirit stones, is worth it.

"Go."

Su Mu waved his hand and said.

Ji Yu'an, with her back hunched, quietly left the Treasure Pavilion; this goes without saying.

Another two hours passed.

Jiang Yizheng and the Liu-surname weapon-casting master and others then came before Su Mu.

Their faces were all beaming with excitement.

The two million high-grade spirit stones left behind by Qiu Beisong, as well as the five divine weapons given by Su Mu, all fell into their hands.

Su Mu had offered the five divine weapons to their Treasure Pavilion for 500,000 high-grade spirit stones, but they managed to sell them for a high price of 800,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Jiang Yizheng wasn't stingy this time either. He only took one million high-grade spirit stones, and distributed the rest among the other weapon-forging masters in the Treasure Pavilion.

Each person received two or three hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to one or two years' income for weapon blacksmiths. How could they not be happy?

To be honest, it wasn't that Jiang Yizheng was generous.

He had no choice but to accept it.

This time, Qiu Beisong, the garrison commander of Chunfeng City, suffered a great loss at the Treasure Pavilion, and he will inevitably make things difficult for the Treasure Pavilion in the future.

As one of the culprits, Jiang Yizheng will have to face Qiu Beisong's difficulties.

How could someone as small as him possibly defeat Qiu Beisong?
To deal with Qiu Beisong's difficult behavior, he had to unite all the weapon-making masters in the Treasure Pavilion.

He had no choice but to give back most of the benefits he had already gained.

Fortunately, he didn't lose out on a million high-grade spirit stones.

After all, they didn't contribute anything this time; at most, they only prepared for the auction.

These spirit stones were practically free money.

"Brother Wu, I never imagined that your weapon-forging skills have reached the level of establishing your own school. Even Elder Qiu of the Azure Sky Sect has taken a liking to the immortal weapon you forged."

Jiang Yizheng spoke, his expression somewhat complicated.

He originally intended to treat Wu Jiutong like a beast of burden, but who would have thought that Wu Jiutong was not a beast of burden at all, but a fierce tiger.

A weapon forger of this caliber, let alone Jiang Yizheng, even the Treasure Pavilion couldn't retain him.

"You overestimate me."

Su Mu smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't have the ability to establish my own sect."

My weapon-forging skills were also learned from my clan. The immortal weapon you saw before was created by my clan elders after many years of painstaking effort.

I was merely following the instructions and copying what I was learning.

"Even if you have the secret formula for forging weapons, it's your skill to be able to forge them."

"That's what the weapon-making master surnamed Liu said."

They were all weapon makers, and although they sometimes schemed against each other, they genuinely admired weapon makers with real skills.

They admired not only Su Mu's skill in weapon forging, but also his ability to manipulate events at will.

Qiu Beison, a dignified elder of the Azure Sky Sect, was completely manipulated by Su Mu, who ultimately bought his immortal weapon for a high price of five million high-grade spirit stones.

For weaponsmiths, forging superior weapons is important, but the ability to sell those weapons is equally important.

In the Sacred Realm of the Great Void, the circumstances of different weapon forgers are almost worlds apart.

In many cases, their skill in weapon forging was not that different.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the ability to create momentum and market effectively.

Many weapon makers are not good at talking and only know how to forge weapons. As a result, the weapons they forge cannot be sold at a reasonable price, and they may even end up living in poverty.

The weapon-smiths at the Treasure Pavilion were in a better situation, but they still greatly envied Su Mu's skills.

If they had that kind of skill, wouldn't they be rich?
"Masters, please speak frankly."

We've known each other for a while now, we're practically family.

Su Mu glanced at everyone and said with a smile.

Jiang Yizheng, the Liu-surnamed weapon-casting master, and others exchanged glances.

In the end, it was Jiang Yizheng who stepped forward.

"Brother Wu, it's like this, we would like to hire you as our Treasure Pavilion's special weapon-making master."

Jiang Yizheng cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Of course, this is just a cooperative relationship. You are just a figurehead and don't need to stay at the Treasure Pavilion all the time."

It would be even better if you could supply our Treasure Pavilion with one weapon every three to five years.

The weapon-making master surnamed Liu and others nodded in agreement.

"Special weapon-forging master?"

Su Mu's face showed a thoughtful expression.

He never expected that Jiang Yizheng and the others would come up with this method.

Is this an attempt to link Wu Jiutong and Zhenbaoge together?
“Brother Wu, a contracted weapon forger can earn 200,000 high-grade spirit stones a year. If you forge a weapon, our Treasure Pavilion will buy it at a high price.”

The weapon-making sergeant surnamed Liu added.

This treatment is actually very good.

Even for Jiang Yizheng and the weapon forger surnamed Liu, most of their income came from forging weapons for others; they didn't receive much of a "base salary" from the Treasure Pavilion.

In order to "get on board" with Wu Jiutong, they really went to great lengths.

These 200,000 high-grade spirit stones were raised by the group of them together.

The fact that Jiang Yizheng, who is usually very stingy, was willing to take out these spirit stones shows how much Wu Jiutong's previous actions had shocked him.

From the perspective of Jiang Yizheng and the Liu-surnamed weapons-making division, Wu Jiutong really had no reason to refuse.

Every year, you can earn 200,000 high-grade spirit stones simply by being a registered user without having to do anything.

The weapons they forge themselves can also be sold through a channel.

For Wu Jiutong, there was no loss at all.

If it were them, they would agree immediately without even considering it.

But under their watchful eyes, Su Mu calmly shook his head.

"forget it."

Su Mu said slowly, "Weapon forging is just my hobby. I don't want to be a full-time weapon forger."

Jiang Yizheng and the Liu-surnamed weapons casting master looked at each other in bewilderment.

Hobbies?

Don't want to be a full-time weapons foundry?
Why do these words sound so awkward?

They meticulously studied weapon-making techniques, yet their efforts were still inferior to those of others who pursued their hobbies.

Weapon forging is their livelihood.

This is really depressing.

"Brother Wu, do you feel the compensation is inappropriate? We can discuss it further. You can tell us what your requirements are."

Jiang Yizheng said.

"It's not about the compensation."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "My joining the Treasure Pavilion will do you no good."

As you have all seen today, Elder Qiu Beisong will surely hold a grudge against me.

He can't do anything to me, but if I join the Treasure Pavilion, he might target it.

Jiang Yizheng, the Liu-surnamed weapon-casting master, and others exchanged glances.

They wanted to bind Su Mu to the Treasure Pavilion, partly because they wanted to learn something from him.

Secondly, it was also to appease Qiu Beisong.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Qiu Beisong suffered a great loss this time.

Given Qiu Beisong's personality, he will definitely try to make amends afterward.

If Wu Jiutong joins the Treasure Pavilion, then when Qiu Beisong really wants to deal with the Treasure Pavilion later, the Treasure Pavilion can still send Wu Jiutong out to take the hit.

If Wu Jiutong simply leaves, then their Treasure Pavilion will have to bear the consequences.

It has to be said that the weapon-making masters at the Treasure Pavilion are really good at scheming.

Who is Su Mu? How could he not know what Jiang Yizheng and his group are plotting?
People like Jiang Yizheng are different from Ji Yu'an.

In a sense, Ji Yu'an is still a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the martial arts world), while Jiang Yizheng and others are already businessmen, and they prioritize profit above all else.

"Are you sure you can meet all my conditions?"

Su Mu said with a half-smile.

Jiang Yizheng and the Liu-surnamed weapon-casting master were all taken aback.

They had witnessed firsthand how Su Mu gradually drove Qiu Beisong to the brink of despair.

Now that Su Mu has suddenly asked them this question, they really don't dare to answer it casually.

Who knows what demands Wu Jiutong will make?
This Wu Jiutong is a ruthless person who managed to squeeze five million high-grade spirit stones out of Qiu Beison, an elder of the Cangqiong Sect.

"So, let's forget it."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "If I have weapons to sell in the future, I will give priority to Treasure Pavilion."

We've gotten along quite well these past few days, and I've stayed in Spring Breeze City long enough, so let's stop here. Let's part ways today.

After saying that, Su Mu strode out.

It wasn't until he disappeared outside the door that Jiang Yizheng and the others realized what had happened.

"Master Jiang, are we just going to let him go like this? What are we going to say if Lord Qiu asks about it later?"

"It is the Liu family's weapon-making division commander who said in a deep voice."

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Jiang Yizheng said.

“You’re the closest to Wu Jiutong, so who else should we ask if not you?”
Do you think Lord Qiu wouldn't know that Wu Jiutong originally came to see you?

The weapon-making master, surnamed Liu, said this with a straight face.

If you ask me—

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice, whispering, "Let's just—"

He made a grabbing motion with his hand and continued, "Take him down and hand him over to Lord Qiu. This way, we can not only put aside our past grievances with Lord Qiu, but also obtain what's on Wu Jiutong's body."

“Wu Jiutong can produce so many divine weapons so easily. I suspect he has even more divine weapons on him. Moreover, if we can learn his skill of turning multiple divine weapons into immortal weapons, our weapon-forging techniques will definitely reach a new level.”

The weapon-making master, surnamed Liu, had a greedy glint in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Killing two birds with one stone."

"As long as we do a clean job, even the Wu family of Xiangzhou won't be able to find us."

"Do you know how strong Wu Jiutong is? Do you think we can take him down?"

Jiang Yizheng was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "You should know that the Wu family of Xiangzhou is skilled in body tempering, and body tempering martial artists are best at fighting."

"And what we people are worst at is fighting."

"Why should we fight him head-on? Intelligence is more important than brute force."

The weapon-forging master surnamed Liu sneered twice, "Moreover, we can also rely on the power of the Azure Sky Sect."

He appeared confident and composed, clearly indicating that his decision wasn't made on a whim. (End of Chapter)
