Zhou Shu sighed and said leisurely, “It’s not just the Ji family’s divine artifact. I want to take a look and touch the divine artifacts of the other families.
“Everyone, 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.
“If it were you, wouldn’t you want to study them?”
All the family heads frowned. They were not forgers and didn’t know Zhou Shut s thoughts.
But it sounded like it made sense.
“Borrow it for a few days to comprehend?” The Ji family head frowned. This matter concerned the family’s divine artifact, so he had to be cautious.
The clan-protecting divine artifact concerned the life and death of the Ji family. He couldn’t afford to lose it.
But then again, it wasn’t 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 family’s clan-protecting divine artifact?
It was impossible.
At a certain distance, he could take back his family’s divine artifact at any time.
Moreover, without his family’s bloodline, it was impossible to activate his family’s divine artifact.
“If you give the third grotto-heaven divine weapon to my family in exchange for borrowing my family’s divine artifact to comprehend, it’s fine. But…” The Ji family head’s eyes shifted. “The price of this grotto-heaven divine weapon can’t be so high. After all, my family’s clan-protecting divine artifact is much more valuable than a grotto-heaven divine weapon.”
The Ji family head had his own plans.
“Hmph, petty.”
On the other side, the Yun family’s patriarch spoke. “Family Head Dong, my Yun family offers the same price. Furthermore, you can borrow the Yun family’s clan-protecting divine artifact to comprehend. You can analyze it for as many days as you want!”
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 didn’t 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 won’t return it!
These fellows from the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom are really clueless fools!
Why don’ t I learn a few forging techniques later? This f*cking skill is too popular!
Mu Zhixing couldn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 couldn’t 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 Zhixing’s eyes lit up. I’m not bad either. I’ve 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.
“Family Head Yun, are you doing this on purpose?” the Ji family head said angrily. “Do you want to fight? My family will accompany you to the end!”
He had just offered a price, but the Yun family head immediately offered a higher price. If he wasn’t targeting him, what was it?
“Family Head Ji, it’s only right that the highest bidder wins. If you’re not convinced, you can continue bidding.” The Yun family head sneered. “If you can’t afford it, then don’t stop others from obtaining the grotto-heaven divine weapon.”
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 hadn’t 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 Shu’s 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 isn’t a matter of scarcity but of inequality.
The other family heads who hadn’t 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?
“Family Head Dong, we feel that since the Ji family head has paid such a high price, your Dong family should treat everyone equally,” a family head said coldly. As he spoke, he looked askance at the Cao family head and the Mi family head.
“This…” Zhou Shu had a troubled expression.
“We all feel that you have to treat everyone equally. Otherwise, we won’t accept it!” the family heads said coldly.
“Family Head Cao, Family Head Mi, look…” Zhou Shu said with an awkward expression. “My Dong family is weak alone. We really can’t afford to offend everyone.”
The heads of the Cao family and Mi family snorted.
“There are some despicable people who are not very capable, but they just can’t bear to see others doing well.” The Mi family head sneered. “Family Head Dong, I won’t make things difficult for you. Isn’t 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!”
The Cao family head’s expression was cold as he said, “There’s no problem treating everyone equally. Family Head Dong, we won’t make things difficult for you. As long as you can sell us a grotto-heaven divine weapon, my Cao family can afford this price.”
Things were progressing more smoothly than Zhou Shu had expected. He didn’t 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.
“Everyone, the deal is done. In that case, please pay the forging materials first so I can start work as soon as possible..”
