"Kerr, what kind of sword do you want?"
Walking out of the Li family mansion, Duan Lingtian smiled and asked the girl beside him.
The main reason he came out this time was to buy a sword for the girl.
The girl practiced the 《Han Bing God's Sword Technique》, a sword cultivation method.
Although this 《Han Bing God's Sword Technique》 required one to reach the Core Condensation stage to have a matching sword skill, Duan Lingtian still planned to let the girl learn and familiarize herself with the sword as soon as possible.
The sword was the ancestor of all weapons. A qualified sword cultivator could only display the full power of the sword if they understood the sword.
"Kerr can't say for sure. Young Master, you can help me choose."
The girl lightly shook her head.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Under the envious and jealous gazes of the people in the Li family market, he held the girl's delicate hand and walked into the Li family weapon shop.
"Young Master Tian!"
As soon as they entered the Li family's weapon store, a young man walked forward and welcomed Duan Ling Tian and the young girl in. His tone contained a sense of humility and respect.
"You know me?"
Duan Lingtian was somewhat surprised.
"Young Master Tian, I am a branch descendant of the Li family. I took half a day off this morning to specially go back to the family to watch the battle between you and Li Jie. Young Master Tian is really strong, even Li Jie is not your match."
The young man smiled.
"It was just a fluke."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
"I want to buy a good sword. Do you have any recommendations?"
Duan Lingtian explained his intentions.
"Young Master Tian, is it for you?"
The young man smiled and asked.
"No, this sword is for my family's Kerr."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
When she heard Duan Ling Tian say that she belonged to his family, the young girl's shapely eyebrows raised slightly. Her beautiful eyes blinked, and a slight blush appeared on her beautiful face. It was sparkling and translucent, as if it would break with a flick of a finger.
"Young Master Tian, this way please."
The young man only glanced at the girl before retracting his gaze, afraid of angering the youth beside her.
Then, he led the pair of golden boy and jade girl to the weapon rack at the side.
The weapon rack was filled with all kinds of swords.
Duan Lingtian, who had fused with the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, could tell the advantages and disadvantages of these swords at a glance.
Finally, his gaze landed on a sword forged from a purple material.
This was a small and exquisite dagger. The reason why he took a fancy to it was not because of its gorgeous appearance, but because of its material …
Purple Meteoric Iron!
Purple Meteoric Iron, once refined by a Weapon Refiner, could be refined into an extremely rare Weapon Refining material, Purple Meteoric.
One tael of Purple Meteorite was worth thousands of gold coins, and this short sword could at least produce seven or eight taels of Purple Meteorite.
Duan Lingtian's heartbeat quickened slightly.
"Young Master Tian, this is a sword forged from Purple Ore. It is extremely tough and is only inferior to a steel sword."
The young man introduced.
Only inferior to a fine steel sword?
Duan Lingtian snickered inwardly. He didn't expect that the Li family's weapon shop would mistake Purple Meteoric Iron for Purple Ore.
Purple Meteoric Iron's appearance was indeed similar to Purple Ore, but the value of the two was worlds apart.
Moreover, this short sword forged from Purple Meteoric Iron, if infused with elemental energy, could cut through hundreds of fine steel swords without the slightest damage.
It was truly a pearl covered in dust!
Soon, Duan Lingtian was relieved.
Perhaps a Weapon Refiner with some common sense would be able to recognize the Purple Meteoric Iron refined from Purple Meteoric Iron.
But even a graded Weapon Refiner with poor eyesight would find it difficult to recognize the Purple Meteoric Iron, let alone the blacksmiths of the Li family's weapon shop.
"How much is this sword?"
Duan Lingtian suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be calm as he asked.
"Two hundred taels of silver."
The young man said, and then added:
"Young Master Tian, you're not an outsider, so I'll be frank with you. Apart from its appearance, this sword can't compare to a fine steel sword at all. The fine steel sword is a standard one meter long blade, capable of cutting through iron like mud, and is twice as long as this sword. It's only one hundred and eighty taels of silver. "
"Kerr, do you like it?"
Duan Lingtian asked the young girl beside him.
"Young Master, it's too expensive."
The young girl's gaze had long been attracted by this gorgeous and exquisite purple short sword. Hearing the young man's price, she was shocked.
Duan Lingtian laughed inwardly. If this little girl knew the value of the Purple Meteoric Iron refined from Purple Meteoric Iron, she would definitely not think this way.
"I'll take this short sword, but I only brought a hundred taels with me … How about this, bring another fine steel sword back to the Li family in the afternoon and I'll pay you the remaining two hundred and eighty taels of silver. How about it?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the young man.
"Of course."
The young man hurriedly nodded.
Duan Lingtian was the son of the ninth elder of the Li family, so he wasn't afraid that Duan Lingtian would go back on his word.
"Kerr, this is your first sword, so you must take good care of it … As a swordsman, the most important thing is to cherish the sword as if it were your own life. As for the fallacious logic of 'where the sword lives, the person lives, and where the sword dies, the person dies', you don't need to pay attention to it."
Taking the purple short sword from the young man, Duan Lingtian casually handed it to the young girl.
"Yes, Young Master."
The young girl took the short sword from Duan Lingtian's hands and couldn't bear to part with it.
Her beautiful face was filled with a blissful smile.
After leaving the Li family's weapons shop, Duan Lingtian took the young girl to walk around the market.
After buying some small accessories for the young girl, he returned to the Li family's mansion.
At the entrance to the Li family's mansion, he stopped in his tracks and turned his head to glance behind him.
In the distance, a figure turned tail and ran like a thief.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
The young girl asked.
"Nothing, let's go in."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
He had noticed this person a long time ago and had been following him from the Fang Family's market from a distance.
As he held the young girl's hand and led her into the Li family's mansion, a faint smile appeared on Duan Lingtian's face.
At this time, Mother should be attending a family meeting …
In the spacious Li family's main hall.
All of the Li family's elders, except for Patriarch Li Nanfeng and First Elder Li Huo, had gathered together.
Even Seventh Elder Li Kun, whose son had been crippled, had come.
Li Kun's fierce gaze never left a young girl as beautiful as a flower. It was Ninth Elder Li Rou.
"Elders, today's emergency meeting was called to discuss the matter of Duan Lingtian crippling Li Jie this morning. What are your thoughts on this matter?"
Family Head Li Nanfeng asked straightforwardly.
All of the elders' eyes fell on First Elder Li Huo.
Since First Elder didn't say anything, they didn't dare to overstep their boundaries.
"I think that Duan Lingtian should be punished. He's so young, but his methods are so ruthless. If we don't guide him, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause in the future."
Li Huo said.
"Great Elder is indeed selfless!"
Sixth Elder Li Ting quickly flattered First Elder, not forgetting to look at Fifth Elder Li Ting with pride.
"This morning, after Duan Lingtian crippled Li Jie's arm, not only did he not stop, he even went further and shattered Li Jie's spine, making Li Jie a complete cripple … Li Jie is a genius that our Li family has focused on cultivating. Duan Lingtian's actions have caused our Li family to suffer a great loss. I also think that he should be severely punished! "
Li Ping added.
"Sixth Elder, what I said this morning couldn't be any clearer. Duan Lingtian is only at the third level of the Body Tempering stage, while Li Jie is at the fourth level of the Body Tempering stage. Li Jie, who didn't admit defeat after having his arm crippled, is also a great threat to Duan Lingtian. Therefore, I think that Duan Lingtian's actions weren't wrong, nor did he violate the family rules! "
Fifth Elder Li Ting said in a deep voice, arguing for Duan Lingtian.
"Fifth Elder, according to what you said, does it mean that in a duel between family disciples, as long as they don't kill each other, they can trample on each other, or even cripple each other, making them wish they were dead?"
Seventh Elder Li Kun finally spoke, his face full of grief and indignation.
If a martial artist's spine was shattered, it meant that he had become a complete cripple. There was no future to speak of in this life.
Just when everyone thought that Duan Lingtian's mother, Ninth Elder Li Rou, was going to speak, Li Rou's face was calm, as if she was an outsider.
Li Ting frowned, thinking that Ninth Elder had already given up on arguing for Duan Lingtian.
"What other opinions do the other Elders have?"
Li Nanfeng asked the other Elders.
"I think that Seventh Elder's words are reasonable. Duan Lingtian's methods are too cruel, and he even destroyed the future pillar of the family, so he should be severely punished!"
Some of the Elders expressed their agreement.
They didn't have close relations with Li Rou and Li Kun, so they expressed their neutral stance.
Of course, it was impossible to say that they were completely selfless.
In their opinion, even if Duan Lingtian displayed great talent, even if he was stronger than Li Jie, he was still an outsider, not a member of the Li family.
"Very well, now, let us all vote …"
After Patriarch Li Nanfeng spoke, Fifth Elder Li Ting shook his head and sighed.
The current situation was extremely unfavorable for Duan Lingtian.
"Patriarch!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Rou, who had been silent all this while, interrupted Li Nanfeng.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
"Ninth Elder, do you have something to say?"
Li Nanfeng frowned slightly, slightly displeased.
"I'm sure that Patriarch and all the Elders have seen the changes in my son in the past month … There are also many Elders who think that my son had a fortuitous encounter, and that is indeed the case."
Li Rou said calmly.
After hearing Li Rou's words, even Sixth Elder Li Ping and Seventh Elder Li Kun fell silent.
