604: Chapter 564 The Battle for the Precious Sword_1 604: Chapter 564 The Battle for the Precious Sword_1 Xu Lingyun got up and walked towards the front VIP area.
Lu Chuan watched her receding figure, imdiately filled with a surge of emotion, and couldn’t help but sigh at how unpredictable a person’s fate could be.
She thought that after arriving in the Kunlun Domain, her path on the Martial Path would beco smoother and her strength would improve by another level.
But what she didn’t expect was that this family in the far-off Kunlun Domain only wanted to use her beauty and figure for an arranged marriage, treating her entirely as a tool.
“Lu Chuan, isn’t Xu Lingyun your enemy anymore?”
Gu Xiaosang asked curiously as she looked at Lu Chuan.
“She wasn’t really, but the information she revealed is very important.
The forces of the Sky Martial Sect have co to Flower City, and they are joining the Xu family to deal with .”
As Lu Chuan spoke, he let out a helpless sigh, “I didn’t expect that here in the Kunlun Domain, there would be so many people causing trouble.”
Just then, Hua Qianwu walked out from backstage.
Xu Shenghua and the Xu family mbers, seeing Hua Qianwu, imdiately stood up and greeted her with great respect.
The Xu family had allied themselves with the mighty Hua family, and as the Hua Family Patriarch’s daughter, Hua Qianwu was soone they dare not take lightly.
However, Hua Qianwu ignored these people and walked straight towards Lu Chuan.
“Lu Chuan, I’ve asked around; the Qi Condensing Herb I’m looking for is here, but I need to follow the auction process to acquire it.”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “That’s good.
How many more plants do you need to find after this?”
“Three more; we have the rest of the materials at ho.”
Lu Chuan leaned back in his chair, relaxed, “Well, then let’s enjoy the Xu family’s auction.”
The auction officially began, and the first item was presented.
A finely crafted Longsword with patterns of a green dragon on its blade, and set with green gemstones.
“Green Jade Dragon Sword, the starting bid is 3000 taels of gold.”
The first item was so expensive that the crowd imdiately began to buzz with conversation.
“To start with such a grand item, it seems there will be so good finds today.”
“This precious sword looks really nice; I’m a bit tempted.”
“Such a fine sword would be perfect for a lone Swordsman like !”
Soon after, the crowd began to bid, and in a short ti, the price had been driven up to 5000 taels of gold.
At this mont, Hua Qianwu raised her bidding card and called out, “I bid 5500 taels of gold.”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.
When they saw that it was Hua Qianwu who had bid, curiosity instantly piqued.
Hua Qianwu wasn’t a Swordsman, so why was she interested in a sword?
At this ti, the Eldest Young Master Xu, Xu Chong, looked over and asked loudly, “Miss Hua, you don’t need this thing, so why are you bidding for it?”
Hua Qianwu looked around at the curious onlookers and said, “Is there a problem with bidding for a friend?”
Xu Chong continued to ask, “Is your friend a Swordsman then?”
Hua Qianwu turned towards Lu Chuan and said, “This is my friend, who is also a friend of our Hua family.”
After Hua Qianwu spoke, the crowd shifted their attention to them.
Soon, they noticed the sword sheath on Lu Chuan’s back; indeed, he was a Swordsman.
Xu Chong also turned his gaze to Lu Chuan, and the mont he saw him, he was montarily stunned.
Wasn’t this the person in the portrait that Xu Lingyun had brought back?
The Hua family had moved quickly, already having found and brought him here.
Feeling many eyes on him, Lu Chuan quickly explained, “There’s no need to trouble yourself, the precious sword I have now is sufficient for my needs.”
Hua Qianwu quickly looked over and after carefully scrutinizing it, she shook her head involuntarily.
“Your sword is too old and worn, the craftsmanship is sowhat rough, and the material is quite ordinary.
You should switch to a new one.
Don’t worry, I’ll pay for it,”
Hua Qianwu said earnestly.
Gu Xiaorou couldn’t help but smile and said, “Miss Hua, you seem quite concerned about him, but really, there’s no need.
He won’t replace this sword.”
Suddenly, Hua Qianwu beca curious, “This sword looks very old, it’s almost unusable.
It would be best to switch it out.”
Lu Chuan continued, “There’s really no need.
Although the precious sword on stage looks well-crafted, in reality, it’s far less valuable than my sword.
I won’t switch.”
These words left Hua Qianwu sowhat baffled.
Xu Chong, hearing this, stood up imdiately.
“What did you say?
Our auction house’s precious sword is not as good as that broken sword you have?
Do you know what you’re talking about?”
He shouted loudly, looking at Lu Chuan with disdain.
“You probably haven’t used anything of quality, treating a broken sword like a treasure.”
He snorted disdainfully and sat back down.
Upon hearing this, Hua Qianwu imdiately got angry, “Xu Chong, what right do you have to talk to my friend like that?”
Xu Chong, with his temper flaring, retorted directly, “Is there sothing wrong with what I said?
It was he who derogated our treasure first.
Can’t I counter a couple of sentences?”
“He simply doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
If he knew even a little bit about precious swords, he wouldn’t dare say such things!”
“And you, you think you’re worthy of wielding a sword?”
He snorted again with the sa disdain, turning his head away, too lazy to look back.
Hua Qianwu quickly turned to Lu Chuan, trying to soothe him, “Don’t be angry.
After the auction is over, I’ll take care of that youngster.”
Lu Chuan didn’t pay her much attention and stood up straight, drawing the bronze sword from behind his back.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaosang imdiately got excited, “Show these commoners a trick or two!”
Gu Xiaorou sighed helplessly, “The Carefree Taoist Priest’s bronze sword, that’s no ordinary object.
Too bad there isn’t a single connoisseur among them.”
Lu Chuan drew the bronze sword and, looking towards Xu Chong, said, “I’m just telling the truth.
This Green Jade Dragon Sword simply doesn’t compare to the bronze sword in my hands!”
Xu Chong stood up, turned back to face Lu Chuan, and shouted, “Bronze sword?
Do you even know what kind of trash bronze is?
What era are we living in that anyone would use a bronze sword!”
“You country bumpkin, daring to spout nonsense here, aren’t you ashad!”
The other younger mbers of the Xu family also began to laugh smugly.
“This is really amusing.
To think you’d have the nerve to take out such a shoddy sword, you’ve got so thick skin.”
“Only a country bumpkin fool would consider such a broken sword a treasure.
Miss Hua, how can you be with soone like this?”
“Can’t understand it, maybe she just likes weirdos.”
Lu Chuan sneered, “A bunch of blind fools.
If you’re not convinced, we can cross swords and see which precious sword is truly superior.”
At these words, Xu Chong slamd the table and yelled, “That’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for.
Co on, let’s see who’s afraid of whom!”
Without another word, he directly charged onto the stage and picked up the Green Jade Dragon Sword, pointing it at Lu Chuan.
“Co up here and spar with .
I guarantee that within three moves, I’ll break your pathetic sword!”
“Dare to insult our Xu family’s treasure, I won’t let you off easy today!”
He said arrogantly, his head held high, looking contemptuously at Lu Chuan.
The Xu family crowd also adopted an eager to watch the spectacle posture.
A few of the Xu mbers even believed that Lu Chuan didn’t have the courage to step up to the challenge.
Lu Chuan knew the true strength of the bronze sword in his hand.
Although it was covered with a bronze seal on the outside, the sword’s core was an extraordinary object, unmatched by any ordinary precious sword.
If they were to spar on stage, I’m afraid it would only take one move for the opponent’s Green Jade Dragon Sword to break.
