Lu Li went back to Patriarch Gu's yard and did not dare to come out. Luo Huang did not dare to make a scene at the Chamber of Relics. Also, she was too ashamed to speak her mind.
Her image in public had always been as pure as ice and as clean as jade. If word got out that Lu Li had slapped her private area, then her reputation would definitely be ruined …
She could only run back to her room in tears, scaring many of the maids.
Who had the guts to provoke this noble young lady?
Patriarch He and the others used psychic power but did not pay attention. It was normal for young people to fool around. Patriarch He was broad-minded enough to do so.
The negotiation was almost over. The Craftsmen's Sect would be given five hundred Wrath of Thunder God for the first time and three hundred every year.
The Craftsmen's Sect would guarantee the Craftsmen's Sect's interests. At the same time, they would provide many materials every year. Some of the materials unique to the Craftsmen's Sect would also be given a certain amount.
The Craftsmen's Sect and Patriarch He had reached an agreement that in a few months, one hundred Wrath of Thunder God would be put up for auction.
Of course, Jiang Xinghe would sell some in secret, such as the Palace of Snow Mountain and the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle.
They had waited here for a long time. Jiang Xinghe had to give them something.
But the price would not be low. No matter how close they were, Jiang Xinghe would not give them face.
The Teleportation Formation at the Chamber of Relics was activated again. The lockdown outside the Valley of Relics was lifted. Jiang Xinghe sent a message that in three months, the Chamber of Relics would hold an auction at the Sunset City.
One hundred Wrath of Thunder God would be put up for auction in ten batches. Any force that wanted to bid could prepare in advance.
Patriarch Gu and Lu Li worked day and night on the Wrath of Thunder God. The Wrath of Thunder God for the Craftsmen's Sect was not in a hurry. But the Wrath of Thunder God for auction must be made as soon as possible.
Also, on the surface, there would be one hundred at the auction. In the end, there would be more than three hundred.
Jiang Xinghe and Lou Tianxing and Master Xue began to negotiate. Jiang Xinghe asked for a high price. Eventually, for the sake of Lu Li, Jiang Xinghe made some concessions and lowered the price.
Lou Tianxing and the others did not leave after the negotiation. They would not leave until they had the finished product.
They all wanted a hundred Thunder God's Wrath. If they brought back a hundred Thunder God's Wrath, it would be equivalent to bringing back a hundred great killing weapons. In the sect, it would be a very strong deterrent.
Elder Ying returned, and so did Luo Huang. Her heart was filled with rage. Even staying here for a day was unbearable.
However, Elder He stayed behind. With him overseeing this place, Divine Artifact Valley was as stable as Mount Tai. No one dared to cause trouble here.
Time passed quickly, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Patriarch Gu and the others worked overtime to make over a thousand Wrath of Thunder. Lou Tianxing and Master Snow left with the treasures in satisfaction. Lou Shi 'er and Holy Princess left as well.
After some people left, more people came. More than half of the 72 Holy Clans had come. Various hidden forces and some mysterious sects had also sent people.
In the past two months, Jiang Xinghe had been busier than Elder Gu. He had been meeting this and that, talking to this and that.
Many factions knew that it was unrealistic to go to the auction to buy the Spirit Stones. Firstly, the price would definitely be very high. Secondly, they might not be able to bid for it.
If they could buy the Spirit Stones at the Chamber of Relics, then the matter would be settled once and for all.
Too many forces had come. If all the orders were accepted, the number of Spirit Stones would be at least tens of thousands.
Jiang Xinghe had to delay. He did not say no or agree. He just kept delaying.
Many forces turned their attention to the auction when they could not get a definite answer.
Jiang Xinghe had hinted that the auction would increase the number of Spirit Stones. As long as they had enough Divine Sources, they should be able to get some Wrath of Thunder …
Lu Li and Qian Huanhan had been swamped with work. Lu Li was fed up. He did not want to waste his time on these boring things.
He did not carve Formations, nor did he take part in making prototypes or sealing Spirit Stones. All he did was help out with the chores.
For example, he would send the prototypes to Patriarch Gu.
Or he would check the finished products to see if there were any problems.
Given Lu Li's abilities, it would be difficult for him to make the Wrath of Thunder on his own. But he could carve Formations. Patriarch Gu would not let him do it. It was not comfortable for Lu Li to do these chores.
That being said, the auction was about to begin. This was a busy time. Lu Li could not tell Patriarch Gu.
He had to wait until the auction was over before he went to the library to cultivate or read.
Lu Li's identity was no longer a secret to some major forces. He was Patriarch Gu's private student.
Therefore, Lu Li's identity was extraordinary because he might be the only one that could learn how to make the Wrath of Thunder.
What happened at the Competition of Craftsmen was spread out. After all, Fantasy Frost was not good at forging artifacts. Many disciples of Chamber of Relics knew that.
Some of the disciples of Chamber of Relics were spies from other forces. It was not difficult for them to get some information.
Some forces had already reached out to Lu Li and offered him favorable terms.
One of the 72 sects even offered Lu Li the position of a patriarch. As long as Lu Li quit Chamber of Relics, he would be promoted.
Lu Li turned them all down. He was comfortable in Chamber of Relics. Apart from Lady Dan and Long Yunhai who would give him some trouble, the others were friendly to him.
A month later, the auction began. Jiang Xinghe went in person and so did Patriarch Gu.
Patriarch He did not go. He stayed at Chamber of Relics.
The Sunset City was a major city controlled by a major force. The city master was a super mighty warrior.
There would be many powerful warriors at the auction. Who would dare to mess around?
That would offend many forces.
On the other hand, if Jiang Xinghe left with a group of patriarchs, the Chamber of Relics would be empty. Patriarch He staying here could ensure the safety of the rear.
Lu Li did not go. This kind of auction was boring. It was just about buying and selling the Wrath of Thunder.
Even if the Wrath of Thunder could be sold at a high price, it would have nothing to do with him.
Qian Huanhan went with Lu Li. He had been bored in the Valley of Relics for a long time. On the surface, he was Patriarch Gu's private student. When he went out, he was respected. The major forces treated him with respect. How could he miss such a good chance to show off?
Lu Li didn't care about the noise outside. He went to the library alone to enjoy the rare peace. He activated the Inhibition Formation in one of the rooms so that he could read and rest in peace.
Half a day later, the Inhibition Formation in the library kept glaring. Lu Li woke up.
He stared at the glaring Inhibition Formation. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling about this.
He turned off the Inhibition Formation and opened the door. It was Qian Huanhan.
Qian Huanhan pulled a long face. He was in pain and panic. He moved his lips and said in a choked voice, "Brother, my master is dead. Chief and Patriarch Blood Sha are dead …"
"What?"
It was like a bolt from the blue. Lu Li's body trembled and he couldn't believe what he had heard.
He blacked out. At this moment, he felt the sky was falling.
