AST 242 – Ancestor of the Immortal Sword Sect, Flower of Life
Qing Shui looked on as Huyou practiced the Tiger Form. For a beginner, he was above average, and one must not forget that Huyou was someone with no cultivation. Luckily, his well-built sturdy and muscular frame was also stronger compared to ordinary humans.
“Do not go all out in your attacks. Always keep 30% of your strength in reserve.” Qing Shui explained.
He demonstrated the Tiger Form three times, adopted the various postures, and explained the crux of the Tiger Form with each demonstration.
Near the end of the training session, Huyou could finally approximate something resembling the Tiger Form. One must always start off with the postures and forms when cultivating before moving on to the spirit.
After the practice, Qing Shui returned to the blacksmith store and started training his own set of forging techniques, he only had one objectives in mind now and that was to increase his own level of power.
Qing Shui didn’t know that in the region of the Southern City, the fame of his store has already been steadily increasing. Especially the incident of him slaughtering the Immortal Sword Sect youth, everyone in the region was talking about it.
Qing Shui just opened his store for business for a short while and there were already many people inside his store. Qing Shui was extremely happy, even if they weren’t here to shop for weapons they might be here to sell him the materials such as gemstones that he needed. After all the sign board outside his store was extremely conspicuous.
“Mister Blacksmith, how much are you willing pay to for this?” A youth placed a black metallic substance on the table as he inquired.
Qing Shui didn’t really know much about the different kinds of metal, he basically knew nothing about them. However, he discovered that the Saintly Hands technique had another application.
He could use the Saintly Hands to understand the composition of the interior of substances. For example, treasured objects usually have a “spiritual strength” in them. The stronger the spiritual strength, the more valuable it would be. And upon combining the Saintly Hands technique with his Heavenly Vision Technique, he could be able to come out with a rough estimate of the value.
Qing Shui smiled as he reached out to touch the black metal. A pity that it wasn’t anything valuable, but still, the strength of the metal was still many times better compared to common metals.
“100 taels of silver.” Qing Shui spoke.
The youth was stunned for a moment before he replied, “Ok, sounds fair. Black Steel usually sells for around that price.”
Looking at the blackish metal, Qing Shui couldn’t help but agreed that it was aptly named. After which, he kept the black steel in his possession and passed over a bank note worth 100 taels of silver to the youth.
Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement when they saw Qing Shui’s buy-in price was so good. Other stores would only buy the black steel at 80 taels of silver.
“Do you truly buy in anything?” A voice rang out.
The owner of the voice was a smart-looking young man about 30 years of age. He had thick eyebrows and almost no facial hair. At this moment, he had a smile on his face, as he looked at Qing Shui.
“Anything that’s written on the signboard. Don’t worry that i’m able to pay. For items of exceptional value, I will use other items of equivalent value or higher to exchange for them. I won’t let the seller suffer any disadvantages.”
The smart-looking youth nodded upon hearing the serious words of Qing Shui. However, he unexpectedly stated, “Sadly, i don’t have any. If i did have, I would surely exchange them with you.”
“Heh, i thought you had something really good, so it was all empty talk. Come back when you do have something then!”
Qing Shui smiled, and turned his attention back to the forging materials which he had been working on earlier. Currently, only the jagged sword was left in the store as all the items forged by Huyou had been completely sold. Some of the customers in his store was only here for the purpose of trying out the sword. Qing Shui didn’t mind their requests and happily allowed them to do so.

Within the Immortal Sword Sect!
“Sect leader, are we going to allow that brat to continue be so arrogant? Humiliating our Immortal Sword Sect’s disciple out there so openly, and this time round, he even killed them in broad daylight.” An old man with reddened cheeks, and flowing white beard was looking at a middle aged man as he spoke.
The middle aged man stood up from the purple Taiyi Chair. And as he stood up, an overbearing presence blasted out, as sharp as needles, penetrating into the hearts of others. He was clad in robes adorned with the designs of stars. His eyes were in the sharp of crescent moon and in them, and filled with melancholy. The straight upright looking nose of his as well as the gentle arcs of his lips had a lone arrogance. He appeared extremely masculine.
“Elder Ying, I know you feel unbearable especially considering what happened to your grandson. The brat in question is nothing to me. However, his backer is Canghai! It’s Canghai. Do you know that?”
THe tone of his voice was filled with helplessness and unwillingness. As the leader of Immortal Sword Sect, he was a peak-level existence in the whole of Southern City. However, a smelly brat out there actually caused their reputations to be ruined and they had even lost two elders.
Losing elders was a small matter. After all, the Immortal Sword Sect didn’t need useless elders. However, the Ancestor of the Immortal Sword Sect had repeatedly urged their members never to infuriate the person name Canghai.
“Cang hai? Was he the person that crippled Elder Feng and Elder Hu back then?”
