"What?"
"A Confucian Pearl personally crafted by the Great Confucian Qi Xingwen?"
"Capable of unleashing three attacks at the level of a Great Confucian?"
Jiang Biehe was so startled that he nearly dropped the jade bead in his hand. He had already estimated the item's value highly, but he had still underestimated it. And he had certainly underestimated Liu Yun's true strength. To win a Confucian artifact from a Great Confucian of the Jixia School—what kind of power did that require?
Great Confucians are not all equal, but Qi Xingwen from one of the Three Great Sacred Grounds was well-respected. Anyone who could hold a teaching position at the Jixia School was far from ordinary. Teachers at the Jixia School were individuals with recognized status and authority. A teacher acknowledged by the Jixia School would be treated with honor in any country, and many even received salaries from their home nations.
