73 Divine Weapon with Demonic Edge! (1/2)

The shopkeeper continuously nodded as he listened to Ye Xiao speak about the sword. His face looked indifferent at the beginning, but after a while, it became sincerely moved. When he saw Ye Xiao was preparing to leave, he immediately asked him to stay, “Please stay, sir. You have spoken like a true swordsman. We have proper goods for distinguished guests. Only distinguished people can see the most precious items. To be honest, these weapons here that we put in our showcase are only for ostentation. We just use them to impress some outsiders. As for the real divine weapons… how could we just show them here in front of the public? You are a distinguished man, sir. Since you are seeking weapons with sincerity, may I lead you to our secret storage?”

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up as he said, “I said the Divine Arms Mill is better heard than seen. It turns out that there are some secrets within it. Ok. That’s fine.”

In his mind he said, [I knew that you guys are not dishonest.

You would never show me the real deal if you didn’t get scolded.]

They both walked to the back of the shop.

A big fellow in cyan robes opened a hidden door for them, and then another big fellow in white robes opened another hidden door. After passing through, the door to the secret storage was revealed.

The shopkeeper unlocked the door himself and walked in with Ye Xiao. The doors were closed immediately. Several superior cultivators came and stood outside the doors.

It is obvious that the security here was extremely rigorous.

After entering the secret storage, what came in sight was a spacious room. Weapons were hung or leaned on three walls.

There were only three weapons!

On the wall in front was a sword, on the wall on the left was a knife, and on the right was a spear! There was a small chest on the floor by the right wall, and on the other side, there were some unimpressive metal.

The sword and the knife were sheathed, while the spear handle was placed on the floor and its blade leaned on the wall. It resembled a king looking down upon the world.

“Well, at least weapons here are fine enough to enter my sight.” Ye Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

After checking carefully, he shook his head again.

The spear was fine. A spear was always used in the formal battle. It moved drastically. Yet normally, the superior cultivators barely used spears.

Among all the weapons that could create a spiritual connection, the most common were swords and knives; other kinds of weapons were extremely rare.

The spear in front of them lacked spiritualization, but it was still a piece of divine weapon; a perfect weapon for a soldier to cleave enemies and capture the flags.

However, although the sword and the knife were a lot better in both quality and value than the so called “the sword of king”, the spiritual part which Ye Xiao valued the most was still missing.

Or might be broken.

“It seems the divine weapons you Divine Arms Mill make… are only worth mentioning in the Land of Han-Yang…” Ye Xiao didn’t continue to make excessive demands.

Because with the condition of the Land of Han-Yang, the sword, knife and spear were already in the peak range among the divine weapons!

It wouldn’t be appropriate to judge by the standard of the Qing-Yun Realm.

“Are these all? Anything else?” Ye Xiao asked with disappointment, “It would be fine even if it is just some tiny ones. Throwing knives? Sleeve dagger? Throwing needles? Or maybe…”

The shopkeeper had realized that the guy in front of him was was quite professional in smithing although he was young. Yet he actually saw no value in the weapons of his shop…

Even the most precious item of the shop… was too cheap to get in his sight.

The shopkeeper felt disgraced.

So he spoke, “Items of my humble shop are beneath the professional sight. If the weapons here could not suit your demand, I shall only apologize that there are no better weapons here really… The smaller ones. We do have some… There are a set of throwing needles and twelve throwing knives kept in the storage… But those are the last pieces of our departed great master, Shen Lianzi, which remain unfinished… There is still a final step to finish. And that’s why these unfinished pieces are still kept in our shop. Nobody ever wanted them, so they are more like souvenirs now…”

Ye Xiao asked indifferently, “The last pieces of a departed smith? That is interesting. Maybe you could show me.”

“Hmm?” The shopkeeper didn’t hesitate and brought up a small leather bag. After it was opened, Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up immediately.

Inside the bag, there were 108 shining needles. Every piece of it was extremely thin. They were delicate in shape, giving off a sense of extreme coldness that could make people tremble. Yet the needles were somehow defective; they didn’t have edges. Needles without edges, how would they injure enemies and defend the user. With such a defect, the needles were useless.

“Twelve needles together are no thicker than my forefinger. Impressive.” Ye Xiao measured them with eyes and picked one of them in hand. He felt a sense of refreshing coolness and a killing intent hidden inside it. He was motivated, [The needle is filled with spirit. It’s something extraordinary.]

He murmured, “Yet the needle has no point… Why?”

“These 108 needles and 12 knives are all made from a piece of Deep Sea Frigid Metal by the great Shen Lianzi. They contain no other materials. However, the proper material required to make the edges was yet to be found. They are simply hard to merge, so they have been kept this way.” The shopkeeper was a bit embarrassed.

“I see.” Ye Xiao put down the needle.

He picked up a throwing knife. The knife was rather delicate. Each of them was only as long as a finger with a beautiful curve. The edge was sharp and filled with terror, shining with a sinister glow.

The knives were also defective in the same way - they had no edges!

Deep Sea Frigid Metal!

Ye Xiao thought of the Spiritual Essence of Gold in his Spaces that he bought earlier. He had spent 1 million taels of silver for it. He was quiet for a moment before he spoke, “These are fine. I will take them. Give me the price.”

“You… you will take them?” The shopkeeper was surprised.

There had been many people saying they were good items after they had seen them, but because they had no edges, they were only ornaments in their eyes. They couldn’t be properly used, so nobody really wanted them. People always left some kind words like “this is truly a masterpiece set made by a great smith”… and then they turned away…

For so many years, the shopkeeper had seen a lot of people doing so, but he never expected that the young man in front of him would actually want to buy them.
