In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Today was the day of the Divine Weapon Pavilion's auction. Although it was an auction, the Divine Weapon Pavilion did not have an official auction venue. The reason for this was because they wanted to raise the price of the Divine Weapons. This was also the usual method of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. As long as there were rare and precious Divine Weapons, they would be auctioned.
At this moment, many people had gathered on the second level of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Luckily, the Divine Weapon Pavilion was spacious enough to accommodate so many people.
Many adventurers who had been active in the Dark Forest for a long time had come here. Even if they did not have enough wealth to purchase the legendary 'Origin Sword', they could still take a stroll around the Divine Weapon Pavilion to see if there was a Divine Weapon that they were satisfied with.
Naturally, the competition for the Origin Sword was bound to involve the participation of weaponsmiths.
Gretchen had also come to the Divine Weapon Pavilion today. She was different from many others. She was determined to obtain the 'Origin Sword'. Coincidentally, she needed a good Divine Weapon. She had heard of the rumors about the Origin Sword before, and her heart was moved. Other than that, if she could auction it off, she would let her master Murin study it and see if he could derive the Divine Imprints contained within.
Accompanying Gretchen were a few of her companions, all of whom were students of the Royal Academy. Gretchen, other than being a disciple of Murin, was also a student of the Royal Academy.
Fan Le had also come today. These few days, Qin Wentian had not returned to the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Fan Le knew that Qin Wentian was in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and after asking around, he found out that the Divine Weapon Pavilion would be auctioning off the 'Origin Sword' today. Hence, he came to look for Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian and Francis were also among the crowd. They were filled with anticipation, wondering how much this 2nd-level Divine Weapon would fetch.
"Boss." At this moment, Qin Wentian heard Fan Le's voice. Turning his head, he discovered that Fan Le and Sheena were walking over together. He couldn't help but smile, "Fatty, you're really something."
"I'm only here out of curiosity." Sheena felt somewhat bashful when she saw the look in Qin Wentian's eyes.
"Sheena's skin is thin, don't talk nonsense." Fatty laughed. "However, Sheena is somewhat interested in that sword."
"Oh?" Qin Wentian cast a glance at Sheena, only to hear her reply, "The 2nd Astral Soul I condensed is a Sword Astral Soul. However, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the Origin Returning Sword. Let's see if there are any other Divine Weapons."
As she spoke, Xin Ran's gaze turned towards the sword wall of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. There, a sword hung there, radiating with light. Of course, it was impossible to judge the quality of the Divine Weapon just by looking at it. Only by channeling Yuan Power into it would one be able to sense it.
"Good sword." At this moment, a voice rang out from the crowd. Immediately, many gazes turned towards the owner of the voice. When they saw a young man drinking wine from a jug, the crowd couldn't help but laugh.
"Immortal Drunken Wine, you haven't even touched the sword. How do you know if it's a good sword?" someone said with a smile.
"It's just a feeling." Immortal Drunken Wine placed his wine gourd down and looked at the person who spoke. He shook his head and said, "You don't understand."
"Haha." Seeing the expression on Immortal Drunken Wine's face, many people laughed. Qin Wentian also laughed. This fellow was truly interesting.
"She is Immortal Drunken Wine." Xin Ran stared at Immortal Drunken Wine, her eyes flashing with a strange light.
"You know of him?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Immortal Drunken Wine, ranked third among the 10 prodigies of the Royal Capital. Of course I've heard of him." Xin Ran replied as if it was a matter of course. This caused Qin Wentian to be slightly taken aback. This young man who liked to get drunk was actually ranked third among the 10 prodigies of the Royal Capital.
"The 10 prodigies refer to the ten most outstanding geniuses in the Royal Capital below the age of twenty." Xin Ran was somewhat taken aback. Wasn't Immortal Drunken Wine a little too easy-going?
At this moment, Qin Wentian felt a cold glint of light shooting in his direction. Shifting his gaze over, his eyes narrowed.
"Francis, it's you guys." Gretchen didn't expect that she would meet Qin Wentian and Francis in the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Previously, after returning to the Royal Capital from the Sky Harmony City, the Ye Clan had sent over many resources, and Murin had allowed her to enter closed-door cultivation in the Star River Association. During this period of closed-door cultivation, Gretchen had successfully broken through the bottleneck of a first-level weaponsmith, becoming a young second-level weaponsmith.
Just a few days ago, when she returned to the Royal Academy, the people around her all wanted to get closer to her after learning that she had become a second-level weaponsmith.
A 2nd-level Weaponsmith didn't need to worry about connections or wealth. Not to mention, Gretchen was a 2nd-level Weaponsmith at such a young age. Gretchen's future was limitless, and if she could become a 3rd-level Weaponsmith in the future, she would definitely become one of the most sought-after characters in the Chu Country. Even Yuanfu Realm cultivators would need her help, and her wealth would be endless.
The Divine Weapon Pavilion was extremely influential in the Royal Capital because they nurtured a group of weaponsmiths. The wealth of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was definitely terrifying. In this world, wealth was equivalent to cultivation resources, and with enough resources, experts could be nurtured.
"Hmph." Francis coldly snorted when he saw Gretchen. He would never forget what Murin had done to him, and this disciple of Murin was also arrogant to the extreme in front of him.
"The two of you are actually together?" A cold glint of light flashed in Gretchen's eyes, as she stared at Francis and Qin Wentian, who were standing together. After which, she coldly stated, "Snakes and rats from the same nest?"
"Boss, who is this girl?" Fan Le stared at Qin Wentian, as his shifty eyes started to roam about Gretchen's body, causing Qin Wentian to silently despise him. As long as it was a girl, he wouldn't let it go. But of course, Gretchen was also a beauty to boot.
However, Qin Wentian's impression of Gretchen wasn't very good. That day at the Star River Association, Murin had forced him to make a choice when he had nowhere else to go. This lady had used the same arrogant look in her eyes right now, telling him that with the status of the Qin Clan, taking Murin as a disciple would be a great blessing to Qin Wentian, an honor to him.
"I'm from the Star River Association, the disciple of a despicable weaponsmith." Qin Wentian replied.
"Impudent." Gretchen's countenance turned cold, as a cold intent gushed forth from her body. "You actually dare to insult my master? Are you courting death?"
"You are the impudent one. You've already done it, but you don't dare to admit it?" Francis coldly stated, "Murin and I are both from the Star River Association, yet he forcefully snatched my divine imprint and refused to return it. Don't tell me you feel that's not despicable enough?"
Gretchen stared at Francis. She didn't expect that the fellow who had been so submissive in the past would actually dare to insult her master, Murin.
"Dog slave, if you don't kneel down and apologize for your words earlier, don't even think about leaving here alive today." Gretchen continued to look down at Francis with an arrogant gaze. In her eyes, Francis was nothing more than a slave, yet he dared to insult her master in front of her. If she didn't do anything, wouldn't she lose all her face if this matter were to spread to her master's ears?
Upon hearing Gretchen's words, Francis's countenance turned extremely unsightly to behold. He, Francis, had always been a cautious person, and had always been submissive in front of those in the upper echelons. However, this was the first time he was insulted in such a manner. Not only that, the person who insulted him was a mere lass.
"Indeed, what kind of master will teach what kind of disciple." Qin Wentian stared at Gretchen. "The things that Murin did to me, just using the word 'despicable' is far from enough."
Gretchen shifted her gaze onto Qin Wentian. That pair of cold and arrogant eyes of hers seriously scrutinized him. A strange smile gradually appeared on her face, and within that smile, was an unmasked disdain.
"I really don't understand, what gave you the courage to say such words? I hope that before the auction ends, you won't escape."
As she spoke, Gretchen's gaze shifted to the sword rampart in front of her, as a cold light flickered in her eyes. The three people behind her also had cold, mocking smiles on their faces as they stared at Qin Wentian and Francis. Who would be so arrogant as to offend such a young 2nd-level weaponsmith? Not only that, this genius weaponsmith was also a disciple of the Royal Academy, and the young miss of the Guan Clan.
"Boss, that girl's cultivation base is ordinary, only at the 3rd level of Arterial Circulation. Of the three people behind her, two are at the 2nd level of Arterial Circulation. As for the guy at the end, he's probably a tough nut to crack. His cultivation base should be at least at the 5th level of Arterial Circulation." Fan Le whispered to Qin Wentian. If they were to make a move, it was best to first understand their opponent's strength. Only then would they be prepared.
Qin Wentian lightly nodded his head, only to see Fatty laughing, "If we were to make a move, we should be able to take down that girl in an instant. As for the other three, they wouldn't even have the chance to act."
"You broke through?" Qin Wentian's eyes shone with a bright light as he heard Fan Le's confident words.
Fatty winked at him, as he laughed, "You've already broken through to the 2nd level of Arterial Circulation. Isn't it normal for me to break through as well?"
Two nights ago, Qin Wentian had already used his tyrannical Astral Energy to break through the limits of his Arterial Circulation and Arterial Circulation, opening up his 2nd Arterial Circulation. Currently, his body could contain an even greater amount of Astral Energy, and with two Arterial Circulation Meridians, he could sense every part of his body. Regardless of whether it was his vision, hearing, or the power of his attacks, all of them had improved by leaps and bounds.
"Why do you sound as though I'm inferior to you?" Qin Wentian said with disdain.
"I'm just stating a fact." Fatty laughed, as his eyes shone with a bright light. "There's still ten days left. I'm really looking forward to it. 200 Yuan Meteor Stones, even the Knight's Association would feel heartache!"
