Qin Wentian was also looking forward to the battle ten days from now. Currently, both he and Fan Le had broken through to the 2nd level of Arterial Circulation. In addition to the Empyrean Flame Bloodline in Fan Le's body, there shouldn't be any problems dealing with Du Hao.
As for Murong Feng, it would be somewhat difficult to deal with him. After all, Murong Feng's cultivation base was too high. Not only that, Qin Wentian didn't know if Murong Feng had any trump cards up his sleeves. Hence, in the next ten days, Qin Wentian had to continuously raise his strength. Firstly, before the battle, he needed to store at least half of the Divine Energy in his body. This way, he would be able to contend against cultivators at the 3rd level of Arterial Circulation just by relying on the tyrannical strength of his Divine Energy.
In addition to the mid-tier earth-grade innate technique, the Thousand Hands Imprint, he would be able to put up a fight even against cultivators at the 4th level of Arterial Circulation. The problem now was, how strong was his opponent, Murong Feng? The Knight's Association would definitely allow him to make sufficient preparations.
To condense so much Divine Energy, Yuan Meteor Stones were a must. After auctioning off the Origin Sword, there would be more than enough to spare.
At this moment, Jian Wu walked to the front of the sword rampart and smiled, "The rules of the Divine Weapon Pavilion apply. Everyone can bid for the item, and we, the Divine Weapon Pavilion, will prioritize the highest bidder. Of course, the final decision rests with us. After all, we are not an official auction house, and we have the right to choose who to sell the item to. I'm sure everyone has heard of this Origin Sword, its base price is 10 2nd-layer Yuan Meteor Stones."
Jian Wu's lips curled into a smile, but her heart was slightly moved. For ordinary mid-tier 2nd-layer Divine Weapons, three or four 2nd-layer Yuan Meteor Stones would be sufficient. But for this Origin Sword, the price would definitely be raised to a terrifying level.
Of course, if there were friends from the Divine Weapon Pavilion who participated in the auction, even if the price wasn't high, the Divine Weapon Pavilion would still give it to them. This was the style of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
"Now, we can begin." Jian Wu laughed.
"30." A calm voice drifted out from the crowd as an old man walked towards the sword rampart.
"It's old man Han. Seems like there's no hope at all." Many cursed in their hearts. The price of 30 was already enough to cause many people to shrink back.
"I like this sword, but I only have a total of 35 Yuan Meteor Stones on me. Let's use them all and hope that our luck isn't bad." Immortal Drunken Wine indifferently stated as he walked to the front, as the crowd parted ways for him.
"Forty." A few silhouettes appeared at the front of the crowd. It was Gretchen and the others. These three bids had directly drowned the hopes of the crowd. This price was too terrifying.
"Motherf * cker, this daddy here risked his life to hunt demonic beasts and even rolled around in front of the Grim Reaper for over ten years. Even now, I only have ten 2nd-layer Heavenly Astral Meteor Stones. Look at them." A burly man cursed in a low voice. Many in the crowd felt the same way. Indeed, the disparity between humans was too great.
Qin Wentian sighed in his heart. This was the Royal Capital. If it was the Sky Harmony City, there wouldn't even be any 2nd Heavenly Layer Yuan Meteor Stones circulating in the market. The 1st Heavenly Layer Yuan Meteor Stones were all treated as treasures by the various great clans, and were all traded using Yuan Stones. This was the disparity between them. Of course, Qin Wentian had forgotten about this, because this was the Divine Weapon Pavilion. The 'Slum District' and 'Chaos District' of the Royal Capital weren't as wealthy as this.
Gretchen's bid caused the entire hall to fall silent. For a heavyweight auction, there wouldn't be many bids. Maybe a few bids would be sufficient to determine the owner of the treasure. The majority of the people present were just there to serve as foils.
Qin Wentian obviously didn't want to be a foil. Since Gretchen was so wealthy, he might as well extort some money from her.
"It's the lass from the Guan Clan. I heard that you've already become a 2nd-level weaponsmith. This old man here is truly impressed. This old man shall not compete with you any further." Old Han politely replied. He himself was also a 2nd-level weaponsmith.
Gretchen nodded her head to Old Han, returning the courtesy. She didn't bother with pleasantries. In the future, there would be many people who wished to befriend her.
"Forty-one." Qin Wentian walked up as he calmly bid, with a faint smile on his face.
Immortal Drunken Wine couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Qin Wentian's bid. After which, he drank a mouthful of wine as a smile appeared on his face. He knew very well who forged this sword.
Gretchen's countenance turned cold as she stared at Qin Wentian, "Are you intentionally trying to cause trouble?"
"Are you going to bid or not?" Qin Wentian swept a glance at Gretchen.
"Forty-five." Gretchen stared at Qin Wentian as she spoke.
"Forty-six." Qin Wentian laughed as he continued bidding.
"Sword of Origin, aren't you afraid that it'll burn your hand?" A person beside Gretchen stared at Qin Wentian, a hint of threat flashing in his eyes.
"Don't worry, after I bid for it, I can give it to someone else. For example, Immortal Drunken Wine. I don't have much, but I do have a lot of Yuan Meteor Stones." Qin Wentian shrugged his shoulders.
"You …" That person's countenance faltered. Gretchen glanced at Jian Wu, "Do you want to check his Yuan Meteor Stones first? Maybe, he doesn't have so many."
"This is a matter of my Divine Weapon Pavilion, there's no need for Miss Gretchen to worry. Are you willing to show your Yuan Meteor Stones to others? If you are willing, I wouldn't mind. "Yang Chen, who was standing beside Jian Wu, smiled, causing Gretchen's countenance to turn unsightly.
"Fifty." Gretchen coldly replied.
"Fifty-one." Qin Wentian directly bid.
"Fifty-five." Gretchen gritted her teeth. After she broke through to the 2nd level, the Star River Association and her clan had given her resources to support her cultivation. In addition to her previous wealth, she only had sixty Yuan Meteor Stones on her. But if she were to use them to bid for the Origin Sword, she would soon run out.
"Fifty-six." Fatty laughed, continuing Qin Wentian's words. Qin Wentian glanced at Fatty, and his laughter grew even more joyous. This fellow was proficient in the power of will, and had an extremely strong judgement ability. Maybe he would be able to discern something from Gretchen's expression.
"Fifty-seven." Gretchen's voice was cold to the extreme. She wouldn't lack Yuan Meteor Stones in the future, but she couldn't afford to lose face today. As for Qin Wentian, she would deal with him after she obtained the Origin Sword.
"Fifty-eight." Fatty smiled radiantly.
"Fifty-six." Gretchen's voice grew louder, and the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion fell silent. The price had actually risen to a terrifying 60 Yuan Meteor Stones. This was madness, this was madness.
"Tsk tsk, beautiful lady, you are so rich. I can't afford it." Fatty flashed his signature wretched smile at Gretchen, causing Gretchen's countenance to stiffen. 60 2nd Heavenly Layer Yuan Meteor Stones, only to purchase a 2nd-level mid-tier sword. Although this sword was extraordinary, it still caused her heart to bleed.
"I don't want it either." Qin Wentian shrugged, winking at Fatty. Thirty 2nd Heavenly Layer Yuan Meteor Stones landed in his pocket just like that.
"Boss." Fatty gave Qin Wentian a 'you know' look, indicating that Qin Wentian shouldn't forget about his benefits.
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" Jian Wu laughed as she stared at the crowd.
"Bid my ass, this is too terrifying. I think I'd better go to the first level to take a look." Someone cursed rudely, causing the crowd to laugh. Indeed, this price was too terrifying, it was sufficient to purchase a 2nd-level high-tier Divine Weapon.
"Since this is the case, Miss Gretchen." Jian Wu smiled at Gretchen, causing Gretchen's heart to twitch. After which, she passed all the Yuan Meteor Stones she had brought with her to Jian Wu, while Jian Wu retrieved the sword and passed it to Gretchen.
"Hu … …" Although Gretchen had obtained the Origin Sword, she didn't feel any joy at all. Her cold eyes swept over to Qin Wentian and Fan Le, flickering with a killing intent.
"Next, it's time for us to settle our debts." Gretchen stared at Qin Wentian and Feng Ping as she spoke.
"How do you want to play? One-on-one, or a group battle? "Fan Le narrowed his eyes as he stared at the four people in front of him.
Upon hearing Fan Le's words, Gretchen and the other three all laughed, as though they had heard something extremely amusing.
"One-on-one, group battle? Are you guys even worthy? " Behind Gretchen, the young man with the higher cultivation base took a step forward, sweeping his gaze over to Qin Wentian and the others as he stated, "If you guys kneel down and kowtow to Gretchen in apology, I will spare your lowly lives today."
Wang Chong's gaze flickered with a hint of mockery. He truly couldn't understand why these people in front of him would have the courage to talk back to Gretchen. But of course, he was more than happy to see such a situation. If not, how would he have the chance to show off? Ever since Gretchen became a 2nd-level Weaponsmith, there were many who wanted to form a relationship with her.
"Scram." An indifferent voice drifted over. Wang Chong's countenance stiffened. Who was so audacious to tell him to scram?
Shifting his gaze over, he saw a young man drinking from a gourd of wine. That voice earlier had originated from his mouth.
Wang Chong's countenance stiffened as his countenance turned ashen.
"Immortal Drunken Wine, this matter has nothing to do with you." Wang Chong coldly stated.
"I can't stand it, can I?" Immortal Drunken Wine laughed in a carefree manner. "Even if I don't tell you to scram, there will be others who will. Since Gretchen has a grudge with them, you should settle it yourself. If you dare to make a move, the one kneeling here today will definitely be you."
Immortal Drunken Wine shook his wine gourd as he said this, before adding in a depressed tone, "Oh no, there's no more wine."
The crowd was speechless. This fellow's words were really too big.
"After we settle this matter, I will treat you to a drink." Qin Wentian smiled as he looked at Immortal Drunken Wine.
Immortal Drunken Wine's eyes lit up as he laughed, "Since you said it, don't go back on your words. My alcohol tolerance isn't small."
"Don't worry about getting drunk." Qin Wentian laughed as well. He really liked Immortal Drunken Wine's personality.
Towards someone he liked, they could become friends.
"Good, it seems like I can drink big today." Immortal Drunken Wine was filled with anticipation. He knew that the 60 Yuan Meteor Stones contributed by Gretchen earlier was half of Qin Wentian's share.
