Gu Chaoyan had a strong desire to acquire the iron for Sword One.
Sword One was a skilled swordswoman who could wield a sentient sword.
By obtaining the iron, Sword One would possess a new sword.
Gu Chaoyan observed Sword One, who was examining the iron intently. It was fortunate to have such a weapon.
However…
The iron was a high-level enchanted armament, a Dharma artifact. While Sword One admired it, she had no intention of claiming it for herself. She was merely admiring it from a distance.
In a soft voice, Gu Chaoyan asked, “Sword One, do you want it?”
Sword One was taken aback.
She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly.
She liked it, but her purpose here was to acquire something that could safeguard the people of the Saint Divine Land. It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to obtain such a remarkable Dharma artifact and enchanted armament for personal use.
“If I recall correctly, your sword is broken. If you like it, I can acquire one for you. If you don’t, I can find someone else who would appreciate it. Sword One, you are my attendant, and it is necessary for me to provide you with good magical weapons and enchanted armaments since you use them to protect me. I don’t want any mishaps to occur in the future,” Gu Chaoyan stated earnestly.
Sword One’s expression changed.
Elder Miss was right.
Regardless of what weapon she wielded, her primary duty was to protect Elder Miss.
As she contemplated this, she nodded solemnly. “In that case, I will take it, but I’m unsure if I can make it acknowledge me as its master.”
“Of course, we can reclaim it, but we need to come up with a plan. We cannot retreat!” Gu Chaoyan declared resolutely.
Not even a mere piece of iron should be able to overpower them.
The future held many more tasks and responsibilities.
Sword One nodded earnestly in agreement.
Gu Chaoyan presented her authority token and requested a special seat from the auction house staff.
Although the black iron required recognition from its master, it didn’t discourage those attending the auction. Instead, it heightened their enthusiasm.
The auction house buzzed with activity as people eagerly placed their bids.
As Gu Chaoyan arrived…
She was preparing to make a bid when a familiar female voice rang out, “500,000!”
It was Zhao Dier.
She felt quite dejected after leaving Duan Feng’s room.
The pills she had brought were of high value, the ones Piaomiao Pavilion had intended to use as leverage against Haitian. However, Duan Feng seemed dissatisfied. He hadn’t given her the authority token nor offered a favorable price.
Her disappointment and despondency grew.
Things weren’t going well for her that day.
She hadn’t achieved anything.
That was why she had come, hoping to acquire some worthwhile magical weapons and enchanted armaments.
Regarding the black iron…
Zhao Dier examined it and recognized its quality.
Currently, she lacked proper weaponry. If the black iron acknowledged her as its master, she would have a reliable companion in the black iron for the future.
Rumors had it that the black iron possessed remarkable intelligence.
The senior members of the clan had often mentioned how rare and extraordinary the black iron was.
Zhao Dier was deeply intrigued.
However, Gu Chaoyan remained indifferent. Since Sword One admired the black iron and it suited her, Gu Chaoyan was determined to obtain one for her.
Thus, she straightforwardly declared, “600,000.”
When Zhao Dier had initially offered 500,000, many individuals had already given up on bidding. It wasn’t worth the risk of provoking Elder Miss from Piaomiao Pavilion. Piaomiao Pavilion had gained immense popularity recently, largely due to their highly sought-after pills.
But…
