Originally, the number of weapons in the Sword Pavilion was the highest in the entire Wind Sword School. There were many kinds of weapons in stock. However, in recent years, the status of the Sword Sect had plummeted. Many of the resources of the Wind Sword School had been taken by the Saber Sect. Even the weapons forged by the Armament Pavilion were the same. There were more and more sabers, but fewer and fewer swords. As a result, the number of weapons in the Saber Pavilion had far surpassed that of the Sword Pavilion.
Many of the weapons in the Sword Pavilion were left behind from before. There were not many new ones. It was not easy to find a weapon that could satisfy Lu Xuan.
Deacon Zhou racked his brains and thought about all the weapons in the Armament Pavilion, but he could not think of a suitable one.
Lu Xuan could tell from the frown on Officer Zhou's face that he was deep in thought that Officer Zhou must have given it his all. Lu Xuan sighed inwardly. It seemed that he would have to make do with the Mountain Crushing Sword.
Just as Lu Xuan was about to speak, Deacon Zhou's expression suddenly brightened. He seemed to have thought of something and spoke before Lu Xuan could.
"Junior Brother Lu, I just thought about it and thought of something. However, I don't know if the talisman meets your requirements. If you only want weight, that thing is definitely enough!"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan could not help but raise his eyebrows and show a trace of interest, "What do you mean?"
"In reality, there is still a sword in Armament Pavilion's storage. However, calling it a sword is not entirely accurate, because it is still a rough embryo. It can barely be considered a sword. It is precisely because of this that it has not been placed in the sword pavilion."
Once he started talking, Attendant Zhou immediately found it hard to stop and continued, "This was something that happened two years ago. At that time, the Armament Pavilion had obtained a large piece of profound iron. It was perfectly round and extremely rare, but it was also because of this that it was extremely difficult to separate it. Later on, it was taken away by a rather experienced artificer from the Armament Pavilion who was prepared to forge it into a heavy sword. Looking at the size of that profound iron, it was the most suitable to be forged into a heavy sword, so no one objected.
For this piece of profound iron, that artificer spent a lot of effort. Just to grind it into a sword-shaped embryo took a whole three months. Afterwards, he used various methods to forge it. If he could successfully forge it, then the grade of the sword would most likely have a chance of becoming a treasure weapon. At the very least, it would be at the peak of high grade iron weapons.
However, it was a pity that before the forging was completed, the artificer passed away due to a serious illness. This profound iron sword was left unfinished. Although there were many artificers who had their eyes on it, because this sword had already been forged according to the method of a heavy sword, the chance of changing it into another weapon was extremely small. If they did not want to waste it, they could only continue to forge it into a heavy sword.
Haha, Junior Brother Lu, you also know that the Sword Sect's situation is not very good. Not to mention that heavy swords are not popular in the first place. No one is willing to waste time to complete the latter steps. As time passed, this sword was left untouched. If Junior Brother Lu did not mention wanting a heavier weapon, I'm afraid I would not have thought of it in such a short amount of time. "
Deacon Zhou was indeed a deacon of the Armament Pavilion. His eloquence was quite good. In one breath, he clearly explained the origins of the profound iron sword.
After listening to him, Lu Xuan's heart pounded. Profound Iron Sword, didn't that correspond to the name of the Profound Iron Sword Art? Moreover, the forging process was not complete and it was only a rough embryo. It complemented the main theme of the Profound Iron Sword Art, "a heavy sword without a sharp edge, a great weapon without craftsmanship". Why would a truly good sword need to be meticulously carved?
Although he had not seen this sword yet, just from Deacon Zhou's description, Lu Xuan felt that this sword was his goal. He immediately opened his mouth and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, where is this sword? Can you show it to me? "
Seeing that Lu Xuan was so interested, Deacon Zhou was also very happy. If he could find a suitable weapon for Lu Xuan, this friendship would be formed.
"Junior Brother Lu, please wait here. This sword is still in the Armament Pavilion's storeroom. I will immediately bring it over." After saying this, Deacon Zhou did not linger at all. He directly left the sword pavilion and went straight to the storeroom.
Watching him leave, Lu Xuan looked at the other weapons in the sword pavilion. Deacon Zhou was indeed attentive to Lu Xuan's matters. Not long after, he hugged an item and rushed in front of Lu Xuan while panting.
That's right, he hugged it. This sword's weight was too heavy. Only by hugging it could Deacon Zhou barely raise his speed. In reality, on the way here, he was thinking as he hurried. Could such a heavy weapon really be used against an enemy? It would probably not be easy to just wave it, right?
Deacon Zhou held the hilt of the Profound Iron Sword and put it on the ground. Immediately, the ground of the entire sword pavilion seemed to shake. Even the weapon racks were shaking a little.
"Junior Brother Lu, this is it. What do you think?" Deacon Zhou panted as he said to Lu Xuan.
Without needing him to say anything, Lu Xuan's gaze had already landed on the sword. Indeed, as Deacon Zhou said, this sword was really just a rough embryo. There were even some bumps and hollows on the body of the sword. It was not polished at all. Fortunately, the artificer's three months of polishing did not go to waste. At least, it did look like a sword. The hilt, the body, the edge, and the tip of the sword were all present. It did not look like a long stick.
The sword was more than three feet long and was completely black. However, within the darkness, there was a faint red light. The edge and the tip of the sword were all blunt. Although the edge was called a sword edge, it was actually about half an inch thick. The tip of the sword was also round like a hemisphere. There was no sense of sharpness at all.
A heavy sword without a sharp edge!
Looking at this Profound Iron Sword, these words suddenly appeared in Lu Xuan's heart again. Now, he finally understood the meaning of these words. With just one look, Lu Xuan fell in love with it.
'That's it,' Lu Xuan thought in his heart.
"Senior Brother Zhou, let me try this sword." Lu Xuan said. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the Profound Iron Sword.
Deacon Zhou let go of the sword and said, "Speaking of which, this sword is exactly 81 kilograms. It's an auspicious number. It's a little difficult for me to hold it with both hands. Junior Brother Lu, be careful, don't knock it …"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped. His mouth suddenly opened so wide that an egg could almost be stuffed in it.
He was about to remind Lu Xuan not to knock it, but he didn't expect that Lu Xuan would take the sword and directly swing it. This Profound Iron Sword weighed 81 kilograms and 162 kilograms, but it was not as strenuous for Lu Xuan to wield it.
Lu Xuan casually swung a few basic sword moves. A strong gust of wind suddenly spread out and directly forced Deacon Zhou to take a step back. It must be known that this was only the power of the Profound Iron Sword itself. Lu Xuan did not use any spirit power!
Following a "bang" sound, Lu Xuan heavily put down the Profound Iron Sword and exhaled a mouthful of impure air. Don't be fooled by his ease of wielding the sword. In reality, he was almost at his limit. If he wanted to use this sword against an enemy, he still needed to practice unceasingly.
Seeing that Lu Xuan had stopped, Deacon Zhou slowly came back to his senses. He looked at Lu Xuan as if he was looking at a monster. He knew that Lu Xuan's strength was at the fifth level of the Body Refinement Realm, which was only one level higher than him. However, it was already very difficult for him to lift the Profound Iron Sword with one hand, not to mention wielding it like this.
However, seeing that Lu Xuan was stronger, Deacon Zhou was naturally more happy. This meant that he had made the right friend. Immediately, he unobtrusively complimented Lu Xuan: "Junior Lu is indeed strong. No wonder you were able to directly fight your way into the top three hundred of the sect entrance exam. This sword was practically made for you!"
Lu Xuan took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing. Then, he faintly smiled: "Senior Zhou is too kind. However, I really like this Profound Iron Sword. How many contribution points do I need?"
When he asked this question, Lu Xuan was a bit nervous. Previously, Deacon Zhou had said that if this Profound Iron Sword was forged well, there was hope that it could become a treasure level weapon. Even if it was not good enough, it would still be a top quality high tier weapon. But right now, Lu Xuan's nameplate only had ten thousand contribution points. Even if he took it all out, it would only barely be enough to buy the most trashy high tier weapon.
However, this Profound Iron Sword was something that Lu Xuan really liked. He had already made up his mind that no matter how many contribution points it required, even if he had to borrow it from Elder Xu or Elder Cheng, he would still have enough contribution points to buy it.
