Chapter 55

Qin Wentian also looked forward to the confrontation more than ten days later. Now that he and Fan Le had both advanced to the Second Stage of the Wheel Pulse Realm, and with the Imperial Flame Bloodline in Fan Le's body, dealing with Du Hao shouldn't be a big problem.

As for that Murong Feng, it might be a bit more troublesome. After all, Murong Feng's cultivation level was there, and besides, he didn't know if Murong Feng had any hidden cards. Therefore, he still needed to continuously improve himself over the next ten days. First, before the battle, he needed to store at least half of his divine essence in his body's acupoints. In that case, even relying solely on the power of divine essence, he could contend with a Third Stage of the Wheel Pulse Realm.

Furthermore, with the Intermediate Earth Rank Thousand Hands Seal, he would have a fighting chance even against a Fourth Stage of the Wheel Pulse Realm. The question now was how strong his opponent, Murong Feng, was. The Knight Alliance would certainly make sure he was well-prepared.

To gather so much divine essence, Starfall Stones were indispensable. After auctioning off this Reversion Sword, it would be more than enough.

At this moment, Jian Wu walked to the sword wall, looked at the newcomers, and smiled, saying, "The old rules of the Divine Armament Pavilion apply. Everyone can bid on the auction items, and we will prioritize the highest bidder. Of course, the final decision is up to us, as we are not a formal auction house and have the right to choose who to sell to. I'm sure everyone has heard of this Reversion Sword. Its starting price is ten Starfall Stones from the Second Heaven."

As Jian Wu spoke, a smile appeared on her lips, but she was also slightly moved. A regular Intermediate Rank Second Stage divine weapon would only require three to four Starfall Stones from the Second Heaven, but this Reversion Sword would likely be bid up to a terrifying price.

Of course, if some friends the Divine Armament Pavilion wanted to befriend participated in the bidding, even if their bids were not high, the Divine Armament Pavilion might still let them have it. This was the style of the Divine Armament Pavilion.

"Now, we can begin," Jian Wu said with a smile.

"Thirty," a calm voice came from the crowd, and then an old man walked toward the sword wall.

"It's Old Han. Looks like there's no hope," many people cursed inwardly. A bid of thirty stones was already enough to deter many, as they simply couldn't afford it.

"This sword, I quite like it. But I only have thirty-five Starfall Stones in total. I'll put them all in, hoping for some luck," Drunken Immortal said indifferently, also walking to the front, and the crowd parted for him.

"Forty," a few figures appeared at the front, it was Guan Yue and a few others. These three bids had already crushed the hopes of the crowd. Such a price was too terrifying.

"Damn, I've been risking my life hunting demon beasts for over a decade, and I only have ten Second Heaven Starfall Stones. They, on the other hand, are so well-off," a large man muttered, and many people resonated with him. The gap between people was indeed too great.

Qin Wentian also sighed inwardly. This was in the Imperial City. If it were in Tianyong City, there wouldn't be any Second Heaven Starfall Stones on the market. First Heaven Starfall Stones were treasured by all the major families and traded with essence stones. This was the difference. Of course, Qin Wentian had overlooked the fact that this was the Divine Armament Pavilion, and the 'poor district' and 'chaotic district' of the Imperial City were not as wealthy.

Guan Yue's bid made the hall quiet. A heavyweight auction might not have many bids; sometimes, just a few would be enough to decide the ownership of a treasure. Most people were just there to accompany.

Qin Wentian clearly didn't want to be just an accompaniment. Since Guan Yue was so wealthy, he might as well extort her a bit.

"It's the Guan family girl. I heard you've become a Second Stage Alchemy Master. Truly impressive. I won't compete with you," Old Han said very politely, as he himself was also a Second Stage Alchemy Master.

Guan Yue nodded at Old Han, acknowledging his courtesy, without much additional politeness. There would be many people who wanted to befriend her in the future.

"Forty-one," Qin Wentian walked forward and calmly said, a faint smile on his lips.

Drunken Immortal was taken aback when he heard Qin Wentian's bid, then took a sip of wine, smiling. He knew who had forged this sword, and this guy was just trying to take advantage of the situation.

Guan Yue's expression turned cold, and she looked at Qin Wentian, saying, "Are you deliberately causing trouble?"

"Are you bidding or not?" Qin Wentian glanced at Guan Yue.

"Forty-five," Guan Yue stared at Qin Wentian, her voice firm.

"Forty-six," Qin Wentian smiled and continued to bid.

"Reversion Sword, aren't you afraid it will burn your hands?" someone beside Guan Yue said to Qin Wentian, a hint of threat in his eyes.

"No problem. I can give it away after the auction, like to Drunken Immortal. I don't have much else, but I have plenty of Starfall Stones," Qin Wentian shrugged.

"You..." the man was taken aback, and Guan Yue looked at Jian Wu, "Shouldn't we check his Starfall Stones first? Maybe he doesn't have that many."

"This is the matter of the Divine Armament Pavilion, Miss Guan. You don't need to worry. Would Miss Guan be willing to show her Starfall Stones to others? If you are, I wouldn't mind," Yang Chen, beside Jian Wu, said with a smile, making Guan Yue's expression turn unpleasant.

"Fifty," Guan Yue said coldly.

"Fifty-one," Qin Wentian bid directly.

"Fifty-five," Guan Yue gritted her teeth. After breaking through to the Second Stage Alchemy Master, the Star River Guild and her family had provided her with resources to support her cultivation. Combined with her previous savings, she had sixty stones, but using them to auction a Reversion Sword would almost deplete her.

"Fifty-six," the fat man smiled and continued the bid, looking at Qin Wentian, who smiled even more. This guy was skilled in mental power and had strong judgment. He might be able to read something from Guan Yue's expression.

"Fifty-seven," Guan Yue's voice was icy. She wouldn't lack Starfall Stones in the future, but she couldn't lose face today. As for Qin Wentian, she would settle accounts with him after getting the Reversion Sword.

"Fifty-eight," the fat man smiled brightly.

"Sixty," Guan Yue's voice grew louder. The entire Divine Armament Pavilion was silent. The auction had reached a terrifying price of sixty stones. It was madness.

"Tsk tsk, Miss, you are truly wealthy. I can't afford to bid anymore," the fat man said with his signature lecherous smile. Guan Yue's expression stiffened. Sixty Second Heaven Starfall Stones for just a Second Stage Intermediate divine weapon, even if this sword was extraordinary, it still made her heart bleed.

"I don't want it either," Qin Wentian shrugged, winking at the fat man. Thirty Second Heaven Starfall Stones had just landed in his pocket.

"Boss," the fat man gave Qin Wentian a 'you know what I mean' look, reminding him not to forget his share.

"Is there anyone else bidding?" Jian Wu smiled at the crowd.

"Bid your ass, it's too terrifying. I'll go check the first floor," someone said rudely, and the crowd laughed. Indeed, the price was too high, enough to buy many Second Stage High Rank divine weapons.

"Since that's the case, Miss Guan Yue," Jian Wu smiled at Guan Yue, who felt a slight twitch in her heart. She then handed all her Starfall Stones to Jian Wu, who took down the sword and gave it to Guan Yue.

"Phew..." Although Guan Yue had obtained the Reversion Sword, she didn't feel satisfied. Her cold eyes swept over Qin Wentian and Fan Le, a hint of killing intent in them.

"Next, we need to settle our accounts," Guan Yue said, staring at Qin Wentian and Feng Ping.

"How do you want to play? One-on-one, or a group fight?" Fan Le squinted his eyes, looking at the few people in front of him.

Hearing Fan Le's words, the four people in front of Guan Yue laughed, as if they had heard something very amusing.

"One-on-one, group fight? Do you even deserve it?" A youth with higher cultivation behind Guan Yue stepped forward, scanning Qin Wentian and the others, and said, "If you kneel down and apologize to Guan Yue now, we'll spare your lives today."

Wang Chong's eyes held a hint of mockery. He found it hard to understand why the few people in front of him had the courage to talk back to Guan Yue. Of course, he was happy to see this situation, otherwise, where would he have the chance to show off? Since Guan Yue became a Second Stage Alchemy Master, many people wanted to connect with her.

"Go back," a calm voice came, and Wang Chong's expression stiffened. Who was so bold to tell him to go back?

Turning his gaze, he saw a young man holding a wine gourd, and the voice had come from him.

Wang Chong's face turned pale and his expression turned grim.

"Drunken Immortal, this has nothing to do with you, right?" Wang Chong said coldly.

"If I don't like it, can I say something?" Drunken Immortal said with a carefree smile. "Even if I don't make you go back, someone else will. Since Guan Yue has a grudge with them, she should settle it herself. If you dare to move, the one kneeling here today will definitely be you."

Drunken Immortal shook his wine gourd and said dejectedly, "Damn, no more wine."

The crowd was speechless. This guy's words were really all over the place.

"After we settle things, I'll treat you to a drink," Qin Wentian looked at Drunken Immortal and smiled.

Drunken Immortal's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "You said it, don't go back on your word. My drinking capacity is not small."

"Until you're drunk," Qin Wentian also smiled. He liked Drunken Immortal's personality.

When you like someone, you can become friends.

"Good, looks like I can have a big drink today," Drunken Immortal was very excited, knowing that half of the sixty Starfall Stones contributed by Guan Yue belonged to Qin Wentian.
