Zhou Shu sighed and said leisurely, âItâs not just the Ji familyâs divine artifact. I want to take a look and touch the divine artifacts of the other families.
âEveryone, we all know that the Zhu Rong Nine Families and the nine great clan-protecting divine artifacts were all bestowed by the emperor after the ancestors of our families made great contributions when they followed him.
âIf it were you, wouldnât you want to study them?â
All the family heads frowned. They were not forgers and didnât know Zhou Shut s thoughts.
But it sounded like it made sense.
âBorrow it for a few days to comprehend?â The Ji family head frowned. This matter concerned the familyâs divine artifact, so he had to be cautious.
The clan-protecting divine artifact concerned the life and death of the Ji family. He couldnât afford to lose it.
But then again, it wasnât impossible to lend it to the Dong family head to comprehend for a few days. After all, as the Dong family head had said, how could an outsider casually snatch away their familyâs clan-protecting divine artifact?
It was impossible.
At a certain distance, he could take back his familyâs divine artifact at any time.
Moreover, without his familyâs bloodline, it was impossible to activate his familyâs divine artifact.
âIf you give the third grotto-heaven divine weapon to my family in exchange for borrowing my familyâs divine artifact to comprehend, itâs fine. Butâ¦â The Ji family headâs eyes shifted. âThe price of this grotto-heaven divine weapon canât be so high. After all, my familyâs clan-protecting divine artifact is much more valuable than a grotto-heaven divine weapon.â
The Ji family head had his own plans.
âHmph, petty.â
On the other side, the Yun familyâs patriarch spoke. âFamily Head Dong, my Yun family offers the same price. Furthermore, you can borrow the Yun familyâs clan-protecting divine artifact to comprehend. You can analyze it for as many days as you want!â
Mu Zhixing was impressed. Damn it. Comparisons are odious.
He had worked so hard in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom for so long, but he didnât obtain a single clan-protecting divine artifact.
In the end?
Zhou Shu had only said a few words, but he had tricked these family heads into giving him their clan-protecting divine artifact!
They agreed to lend it, but it was hard to say if he would return it after borrowing it.
He definitely wonât return it!
These fellows from the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom are really clueless fools!
Why donâ t I learn a few forging techniques later? This f*cking skill is too popular!
Mu Zhixing couldnât help cursing again. He had never thought that forging could be so useful.
If he had known earlier, he would have learned a few forging techniques long ago.
Of course, he also knew that other forgers wouldnât be able to do as Zhou Shu did.
This was not a simple matter of learning a few forging techniques.
Even if he knew forging techniques, he would only be a craftsman. Although he would be popular, he couldnât make the heads of the nine families hand over their clan-protecting divine artifacts willingly.
At the end of the day, it still depended on the person.
Mu Zhixingâs eyes lit up. Iâm not bad either. Iâve already made a deal with King Zhou in advance. If he manages to obtain the clan-protecting divine artifacts, I will still get a share.
âFamily Head Yun, are you doing this on purpose?â the Ji family head said angrily. âDo you want to fight? My family will accompany you to the end!â
He had just offered a price, but the Yun family head immediately offered a higher price. If he wasnât targeting him, what was it?
âFamily Head Ji, itâs only right that the highest bidder wins. If youâre not convinced, you can continue bidding.â The Yun family head sneered. âIf you canât afford it, then donât stop others from obtaining the grotto-heaven divine weapon.â
The family heads bickered for more than an hour.
In the end, the Ji family head won and obtained the last grotto-heaven divine weapon.
No, it should be the right to buy the last grotto-heaven divine weapon.
In the end, Zhou Shu had only said a few words. The family heads hadnât even seen the shadow of the grotto-heaven divine weapon, but they already had a bloody battle.
The entire process stunned Cao Yue. Even Mu Zhixing was extremely impressed.
The Cao family, Mi family, and Ji family had obtained Zhou Shuâs promise. As long as they provided forging materials, Zhou Shu would forge a
grotto-heaven divine weapon for each of them.
Not mentionng the Cao family and the Mi family, the Ji family had to let Zhou Shu comprehend their clan-protecting divine artifact for three years.
Seeing that the price he had paid was clearly higher than that of the Cao and Mi families, the Ji family head at the heads of the Cao and Mi family with hostility. Why is it that everyone gets the same things, but you pay less than me? It isnât a matter of scarcity but of inequality.
The other family heads who hadnât gotten the chance to buy a grotto-heaven weapon were also unhappy. Why were the Cao and Mi families able to buy the weapons? Was it just because they were rich?
âFamily Head Dong, we feel that since the Ji family head has paid such a high price, your Dong family should treat everyone equally,â a family head said coldly. As he spoke, he looked askance at the Cao family head and the Mi family head.
âThisâ¦â Zhou Shu had a troubled expression.
âWe all feel that you have to treat everyone equally. Otherwise, we wonât accept it!â the family heads said coldly.
âFamily Head Cao, Family Head Mi, lookâ¦â Zhou Shu said with an awkward expression. âMy Dong family is weak alone. We really canât afford to offend everyone.â
The heads of the Cao family and Mi family snorted.
âThere are some despicable people who are not very capable, but they just canât bear to see others doing well.â The Mi family head sneered. âFamily Head Dong, I wonât make things difficult for you. Isnât it just the same price? My Mi family has no objections. If you want to take advantage of my Mi family, dream on. The grotto-heaven divine weapon will definitely be mine!â
The Cao family headâs expression was cold as he said, âThereâs no problem treating everyone equally. Family Head Dong, we wonât make things difficult for you. As long as you can sell us a grotto-heaven divine weapon, my Cao family can afford this price.â
Things were progressing more smoothly than Zhou Shu had expected. He didnât expect the Cao and Mi families to agree to this condition so easily.
This way, he could obtain four of the nine divine artifacts.
But the remaining five were a little troublesome.
Zhou Shu knew that going too far was as bad as falling short. This time, he had gained enough. If he asked for more, it would easily arouse suspicion.
Now was not the time for him to abandon his identity as the Dong family head. This identity still had some value.
âEveryone, the deal is done. In that case, please pay the forging materials first so I can start work as soon as possible..â
