59 Silver Serpent Freezing Pin (1/2)

Mo Wen took a glance at the jewelry in the wooden crate before he shut it. Those common treasures could not attract him.

But he seemed to have recalled something after closing it. Mo Wen picked up an exquisite necklace from the crate. It was not as glamorous as the other jewels in the case; in fact it was rather low profile, but it carried an inexplicable charm of luxury.

It was so beautiful and elegant. Mo Wen took a liking to it plus he could give it as a present to Qin Xiaoyou. Didn't girls like sparkly stuff like this?

As for the rest of the treasure trove, Mo Wen wasn't planning on sharing it with Qin Xiaoyou. After all, Qin Xiaoyou was just a normal girl and such enormous treasure could alter her mentality or negatively influence her future.

Since Mo Wen planned to teach her ancient martial arts, she needed to be focused. Practice was a boring and tough process to begin with and once one indulged in worldly wealth, it would be hard for them to get out of the trance of wealth.

However, if she was not going to practice ancient martial arts then Mo Wen wouldn't mind giving her a lifetime of wealth.

The treasure trove was divided into three rooms and every room was filled with treasures. After discovering that the second room was filled with jewelry, Mo Wen entered the third room without any hesitation.

There were many weapon racks in the third room yielding a superb collection of gleaming weapons. They were all melee weapons, but the piercing aura could be clearly felt from far away. All the weapons were wrapped with killing intent so obviously they were not common weapons.

Mo Wen squinted his eyes. He never expected the three rooms to be laden with so many weapons. This was obviously an armory.

He drew a long sword from the wooden shelves. The sword was three feet long and had a simple design. Once the sword touched his hand, a cold surge of energy flushed up his brain. He felt his internal energy shudder. Mo Wen swung the sword and with a flash of cold light, a slash mark was soundlessly carved on the stone wall beside him. There was no evidence of any friction between the sword or wall. Mo Wen gasped, ”Wow what a good sword.”

The secret chamber had a few hundred weapons stored in: swords, spears, clubs, halberds, blades, and sword breakers. All the weapons seemed to be specially made.

The Ming Cult was not to be belittled based on this staggering presentation, however; the melee weapons were inconvenient for fighting in the modern society. Mo wen couldn't just walk around the street carrying a broadsword or spear.

He didn't know how the situation would play out in an ancient martial arts circle, but in it was obvious that he couldn't carry a melee weapon around the metropolitan city all the time.

Mo Wen walked around the armory but didn't find anything else that interested him. Just when he was about to leave the room, Mo Wen unexpectedly spotted a small wooden box. The box was placed in an inconspicuous position, but still managed to stand out from its surroundings. Why would a small wooden box that looked like a jewelry box appear in an armory?

Mo Wen walked over to retrieve the small wooden box. When he opened it, a silver gleam caught his eye and twelve pin-like objects were arranged neatly in a row. A surge of cold engulfed him and inadvertently Mo Wen shivered

”A Silver Serpent Freezing Pin!” Mo Wen's eyes sparkled with joy. He had read from the Ming Cult archives about the Silver Serpent Freezing Pin. It was an unrivaled hidden weapon with a reputation not below that of the Ming Cult's Heaven Reliant Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber. It too was a rare divine weapon.

He never thought that the Silver Serpent Freezing Pin would end up in the hands of the Ming Cult. However, the Ming Cult had no noteworthy hidden weapon experts so it was always kept within the armory.

The Silver Serpent Freezing Pin looked like a traditional hair pin for women of that era, but in fact was a frighteningly dangerous hidden weapon. There were twelve in total, each with ends thin as needles. The head was crafted into the shape of a ferocious serpent head with its bloody mouth open to reveal a pair of glistening sharp fangs.

The Silver Serpent Freezing Pin's appearance was exquisitely crafted. It was so lifelike that the scales on the serpent's head could be clearly seen. The serpent's eyes contained a ghostly, icy stare
