Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1134: Returning to Lord Guangnan's Manor

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

When Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian returned to Lord Guangnan's Manor in Xuanyuan Hill, it was already dark.

After one days' travel, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian had supper outside together with Mountain Lifting Hermit. After supper, Zhang Tie gave Mountain Lifting Hermit a remote-sensing finger ring that he brought from the Earth-elements Realm before returning to Lord Guangnan's Manor with Bai Suxian.

Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian didn't see the piece of God's Star that they had been expecting for in the Treasures Complex. In this Treasures Meeting, the piece of God's Star was a very attractive bait. As they didn't see it in the Treasures Complex, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were a bit disappointed although they didn't determine to get such a piece of God's Star.

Of course, they were not the only ones who were disappointed. In the Treasures Complex, many excited knights were disappointed as they had not seen the piece of God's Star.

According to the explanation of the Treasures Complex, the piece of God's Star would be displayed in the public today in terms of the auction. Pitifully, this piece of God's Star had been bought by a mysterious figure in a small-range authentication meeting ahead of the auction. Therefore, the seller canceled off the auction of the piece of God's Star.

The identities of the seller and the buyer, the transaction price or trading conditions and the functions of that piece of God's Star had become secrets according to the requests of the seller and the buyer.

Bai Suxian was a bit angry about it. By contrast, Zhang Tie was a bit calmer. This result was exemplary. The better the good was, the more people would like it and the possibility of it to appear in the public would be less. The explanation of Gold and Power Market was very logical.

In Xuanyuan Hill, of course, powerful ones didn't need to buy something in an auction for the sake of safety. It might be abnormal if this good was sold in terms of the auction. What was sold in terms of the auction could be directly priced in gold coins or element crystals; however, a piece of God's Star could not be simply measured in gold coins or element crystals. The terms of interchange might be involved with some secrets of both parties; therefore, they could only make transaction privately. Gold and Power Law declared the news that a piece of God's Star would be sold in the Treasures Meeting so as to attract people and increase the influence of the Treasures Meeting. By attracting some more powerful buyers, the seller could also raise the value of the piece of God's Star by proposing more favorable conditions in the negotiation.

All the people who came here for the piece of God's Star were used by someone unconsciously.

After thinking through this point, Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile. In this world, there were many smart ones. Even if you knew that you were used by them, you couldn't complain about it.

Honestly, Zhang Tie was very curious about the functions of the piece of God's Star.

The piece of God's Star in Ice and Snow Wilderness could directly form the source of berserk energy from the elements realm. Zhang Tie really wondered about the function of this piece of God's Star in Gold and Power Market.

Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and Mountain Lifting Hermit kept talking about God's Star at supper. According to the old bird knight Mountain Lifting Hermit, Zhang Tie knew that each of the other 6 sects had at least a piece of God's Star besides that in Gold and Power Law. Given these pieces of God's Star, they had one common function, namely, forming the crystals of one element from the elements realm. With one piece of God's Star, knights could form a chakra much faster than their peers; additionally, they didn't need to worry about the lack of element crystals forever.

As for a sect or a knight, a piece of God's Star was like a treasury that could provide element crystals constantly. Although this treasury could not be open to everyone, If a sect had a piece of God's Star, it would have an exceptional advantage for cultivating knights.

The more knights a sect had, the more precious a piece of God's Star that could constantly form crystals of one element would be for the sect. Perhaps, this explained why the major sects in Taixia Country were so powerful.

When he heard this news, Zhang Tie's heart pounded for a short while. He thought, 'If I have a piece of God's Star which could constantly gather water elements for me, with the assistance of my purgatory samsara and my powerful multi-tasking ability, I might promote to a shadow knight much faster.'

However, Zhang Tie just thought about it. After traveling in the Gold and Power Market, he had not even seen the so-called piece of God's Star at all, not to mention those in the other 6 major sects. If he went to the location of a major sect and requested to take a look at their piece of God's Star, he might be driven out of there by them while being regarded as a lunatic.

From this event, Zhang Tie realized that although he was a bit famous in the Earth-elements Realm and Youzhou Province; he was just a fresh bird in Xuanyuan Hill. Even Bai Suxian who had Lord Guangnan's Mansion on her back was nothing in many people's eyes. Otherwise, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian should have been invited to attend the small-range authentication meeting about that piece of God's Star. The conflict between them and Gold and Power Law just happened this morning. Before this morning, who else could predict that he would almost fight a master-level figure in Gold and Power Law at the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market.

Bai Suxian's complaint was mainly caused by being despised.

On the way back, Zhang Tie even comforted Bai Suxian for a short while.

Honestly, if Bai Suxian's dad Lord Guangnan was in Xuanyuan Hill, he might be qualified to attend the small-range authentication meeting about that piece of God's Star given his overall strength and identity. Even though Bai Suxian was a princess, in the eyes of those people in Gold and Power Law, she could not even match an earth knight like Mountain Lifting Hermit.

'Who on the earth bought that piece of God'Star?' Zhang Tie was thinking about this on the way back. After making a prediction by pinching his fingers, Zhang Tie realized that there were at least 20 figures who were qualified to buy that piece of God's Star, including the three top chancellors and 9 ministers and the top 7 sects in Taixia Country. These magnates might not complain about having too many pieces of God's Star. Besides them, some big figures from top major clans might also be potential purchasers.

Besides being a bit unpleasant due to the matter of the piece of God's Star, Zhang Tie had actually widened his horizon.

Zhang Tie's recognition and horizon about treasures had reached a new realm after visiting those goods in the Medicinal Powder Pavilion, Rune Instruments Pavilion, Alchemist's Items Pavilion, Instruments Pavilion, Secret Items Pavilion and Jades Pavilion. All the goods in these pavilions were of top quality. Almost all the goods in the Secret Items Pavilion were bronze secret items and silver secret items. Even those goods in the Rune Instruments Pavilion, Alchemist's Items Pavilion and Instruments Pavilion had at least broken through black iron effect and could be available to knights.

After leisurely wandering in the Treasures Complex for about 4 hours, they had not even looked at all the goods in those pavilions of the Treasures Complex seriously. They didn't even have time to visit the Jades Pavilion.

When they entered the Secret Items Pavilion, they started to realize that they didn't have enough money.

In the Secret Items Pavilion, even though Bai Suxian couldn't afford any good at her will. Mountain Lifting Hermit targeted a space-teleportation item in the Secret Items Pavilion. It was a simple and classic plate being worn on one's neck, which contained 18 cubic meters of storage. Mountain Lifting Hermit took a brochure of this space-teleportation item and prepared to attend the bidding of this space-teleportation item after 3 days.

The bottom price of this space-teleportation item was 800 earth-elements crystals. Given Mountain Lifting Hermit's look, Zhang Tie estimated that he might not have too many earth-elements crystals than this bottom price, not to mention that the transaction price which might be a few times higher than its bottom price.

Zhang Tie had some earth-elements crystals and didn't lack space-teleportation items. However, he couldn't directly gift these items to Mountain Lifting Hermit. As an earth knight, Mountain Lifting Hermit had his self-esteem. He would never accept Zhang Tie's favor out of no reason. If Zhang Tie directly proposed to gift them to Mountain Lifting Hermit, Mountain Lifting Hermit might think that Zhang Tie despised him.

Seeing Mountain Lifting Hermit's longing eye light towards that common space-teleportation item, Zhang Tie could only plan to deal with it before the auction. He could lend some earth-element crystals to Mountain Lifting Hermit so that the latter could buy that space-teleportation item in the auction. After all, they had appointed to meet each other a few days later.

After coming to the Gold and Power Market, Zhang Tie killed a b*stard and made a head-on confrontation with Han people in the public for the first time; additionally, he encountered Mountain Lifting Hermit, Elder Gulas and old wild bear Dali. What a stimulative day!

When they returned to the Lord Guangnan's Manor in Xuanyuan Hill, they could already see stars in the sky. After worrying about Ice and Snow Wilderness and sensing the locations of the two tracing feathers, Zhang Tie felt complex at once. Therefore, he felt a bit fatigued...
