Advancing Grades

After the auction ended, Tian Qiyuan had a quick meeting with the ancestor of the Holy Sword Monastery, a powerhouse that rivals the Unrivaled Nine Sword Sect and may even surpass it slightly.

The ancestor was a handsome young man with cultivation at the 8th level of the God Ascension Realm. Despite his young appearance, his eyes were filled with ancient wisdom acquired over hundreds of thousands of years.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Exalted Blacksmith. I am the ancestor of the Holy Sword Monastery, Sheng Qiu. We may have never met before, but you've crafted a sword for one of my disciples. When I saw his sword, I knew that I had to get one for myself sooner or later." 

"I am honored to have someone as revered as you to take interest in my humble creations. Are you going to request a commission from me?" Tian Qiyuan asked.

"Yes, but not right now. Can I save this commission for the future when you can give birth to Celestial-grade treasures?"
