1508 Violet Dream

"Look over there! That's the Heaven and Earth Blacksmith!"

"The Eternal Blacksmith is here, as well!"

These two renowned Divine Blacksmiths were quickly identified within the crowd.

While the participants of the auction grew increasingly excited for the upcoming auction, Tian Qiyuan himself just arrived at the Mystic Jade Auction Pavilion while wearing his red mask.

"Welcome, esteemed guest. I am Qing Ling'er, the manager of the Mystic Jade Auction Pavilion. Allow me to extend our deepest gratitude for entrusting us with the honor of auctioning your precious treasure." Qing Ling'er bowed to him in a respectful manner, not daring to repeat the other auction house's mistake.

"If you have any requests, don't hesitate to ask."

Tian Qiyuan nodded and said, "Then I would like to have a word with the participants before we begin auctioning my sword."

"Of course, that can be arranged. Anything else?"

"No, that's all for now."

"May I ask for the esteemed guest's name? If you wish to remain anonymous, that is fine as well."

"You'll know my name once the auction begins," he said.

"I understand." Qing Ling'er didn't question him any further.

The auction began sometime later.

However, as the main event, Tian Qiyuan's weapon would be sold last, with over a hundred treasures being sold before it.

There were a lot of enticing treasures and even miracle elixirs, but none of the powerhouses even bothered to pay attention, as they were only at the auction for one thing.

Several hours later, it was finally Tian Qiyuan's weapon's turn to be sold.

"Thank you all for visiting our Mystic Jade Auction Pavilion today. We will start the bid for the Exalted Blacksmith's Mythic-grade treasure soon, but first, the seller would like to have a few words with everyone." Qing Ling'er announced to the participants.

Tian Qiyuan approached the stage after receiving the signal.

Countless gazes immediately fell upon him, most of them filled with curiosity as they wondered about his identity and how he acquired Tian Qiyuan's treasure.

After a moment of silence to build up the tension, Tian Qiyuan spoke, "Hello, everyone. This is my first time appearing publicly like this. My name is Tian Qiyuan, and some of you might know me as the Exalted Blacksmith."

"What?! That's Tian Qiyuan?!"

"The Exalted Blacksmith in the flesh?! Is this real?!"

Many people stood up in shock after hearing this revelation.

"I am aware that many of you are skeptical of my identity and are expecting me to show my face next. Unfortunately, I wish to keep my face a secret, so I won't be removing my mask or anything today." Tian Qiyuan spoke in a calm voice.

He proceeded to retrieve the purple sword he'd planned on selling today, instantly causing the audience to gasp in shock and awe.

"This is my first Mythic-grade treasure. I call it the Violet Dream. Although it's only a Mythic-grade treasure, it has the prowess to rival even Empyrean-grade treasures. It has a special effect that can create illusions, and anyone below God Ascension Realm struck by it will enter a deep slumber that can only be reversed with the sword."

The audience immediately began mumbling to each other about the sword's ability.

"What a powerful-sounding ability."

"Too bad it only works against those below the God Ascension Realm."

"Are you hearing yourself? How many people are in the God Ascension Realm at this moment? This is a priceless treasure with an extremely powerful effect! I must get my hands on it even if I have to sell all of my belongings and become homeless!"

However, Tian Qiyuan was not finished speaking, and he continued, "Now, with the introduction out of the way, I have a special announcement to make."

"Starting today, after this auction, I will be accepting weapon crafting commissions, and whoever purchases my Violet Dream today will receive priority."

The entire place fell silent as everyone digested this information. Once they realized what it meant, the auction house erupted into a crazed frenzy.

"The Exalted Blacksmith will accept commissions?! Heavens! I never thought this day would come!"

"Hahaha! I cannot wait to have my dream weapon crafted by him!"

A few moments later, Tian Qiyuan continued, "For the payment, I will only accept two methods of payment. The first is Spirit Jades. The second is any material that is on this list."

Tian Qiyuan retrieved a scroll and revealed a long list of rare materials written on it.

"If you have any material on this list, I will accept that as payment, and you'll also receive priority. In fact, I would like to purchase it from you."

The experienced blacksmiths instantly recognized that the list of materials was intended for crafting treasures.

"Heavens… how many—or what kind of ridiculous treasures is he trying to create with that many rare materials? Even a single material on that list would make a weapon priceless." Eternal Blacksmith muttered to himself with a pondering face.

"Not even Celestial-grade treasures would require that many rare materials… Is he trying to create something that surpasses Celestial-grade? Not even a God of Creation would have such ambitions." Heaven and Earth Blacksmith sighed out loud.

Sometime later, Tian Qiyuan said, "Then I will stop delaying the auction and take my leave now."

He turned around and walked away, leaving the Violet Dream behind.

The auction commenced shortly, and a frenzied battle for the treasure began.

While the treasure itself was highly sought after, it paled in comparison to the value of securing priority for Tian Qiyuan's commission.

Tian Qiyuan didn't stay to watch the auction and spent his time in the VIP room drinking tea and listening to music performed by beautiful experts.

In the end, the Violet Dream sold for the price of a Celestial-

grade treasure, a shocking amount that left even the auction house speechless.

"Here are your earnings after deducting our house fees." Qing Ling'er handed him a spatial ring loaded with enough spirit jade to create a large sect and fund it for a hundred thousand years.
