The shopkeeper was taken aback. Seeing that Xiao Chen was a martial artist, he didn't want a weapon that he was good at, but instead wanted a heavy one. But he immediately laughed, "Yes, yes, yes!" Who cares what you want, as long as you can sell it.
This was something that Li Qingshan had carefully planned out. If he wanted to break through the Black Wind Stronghold, then it would really be a battlefield. If he wanted to use his strength to the fullest, he could only use the heaviest and longest weapon, using it to suppress the enemy's advantage in numbers.
A strong worker came forward with a ghost head broadsword. The shopkeeper said, "This broadsword weighs thirty-five pounds and is five feet and three inches long. It can easily break a hair. Are you satisfied, young hero?"
Li Qingshan grabbed the handle of the broadsword and waved it around. The broadsword in his hand was as light as a feather, "Too light, heavier."
The shopkeeper was speechless. How much strength did he have?
Two workers came forward with a green dragon halberd. The shopkeeper said, "This halberd weighs sixty-two pounds and is eight feet and six inches long. Look at this crescent moon. Unless it's an experienced blacksmith, it can't be forged like this."
Li Qingshan flicked the tip of the halberd, "This is fine, but it breaks too easily. Besides, is there no heavier weapon?" He could still remember the scene when he swung the halberd and the halberd's tip broke.
Of course, that was mostly because he didn't know any halberd techniques and used it carelessly. But he wasn't going to deal with just one or two enemies.
The shopkeeper stared at him, but for the sake of Li Long, he didn't refute the words' easily broken '. He thought to himself, "Just what do you use a weapon for?" He wanted to embarrass Li Qingshan, so he waved his hand and said, "Then please follow me to the armory. There's a weapon that you'll definitely be satisfied with."
Li Qingshan became curious as well. He followed the shopkeeper to the backyard, passing through the training grounds for testing weapons and arriving in the armoury. The weapons in there were even more dazzling and varied, but the one that stood out the most was the huge, black spear in the centre.
The spear seemed to be forged from pure iron. The spear tip and the spear body were one, and there wasn't even a tassel. Only a tiger's head was cast at the joint, biting the spear tip and emitting a rough and bold domineering aura.
"This spear is called the Overlord Spear. It's 12 feet long and weighs 142 pounds. It's the heaviest weapon in our shop. If you want to buy it, we also have a set of the Overlord Spear Technique."
"Alright, this is it!" Li Qingshan walked forward and picked up the Overlord Spear. A cold and heavy feeling pressed down on his palm. With a shake of the spear, it was like a soaring flood dragon, emitting a buzzing sound.
The shopkeeper and the workers were speechless. Being able to pick it up was one thing, but being able to use it was another. If one couldn't even move an inch while holding the weapon, then it would just be a joke. However, being able to shake the great spear meant that the user had the strength to control it. Just how much strength was needed to do that?
This was the most suitable weapon in Li Qingshan's mind. With this weapon, he would be able to give the Black Wind Mountain Bandits a pleasant surprise. He would show them what it meant by an inch longer, an inch stronger.
However, he didn't know any spear techniques, so he asked, "Where's the spear technique?"
The shopkeeper said, "If you are determined to buy it, then this weapon is not cheap. Let's not talk about how much effort the craftsman put in, but with so much iron …."
Li Long said, "Cut the crap. How much do you want? Just say it. Do you dare to ask for more?"
The shopkeeper stretched out five fingers, "Since Young Hero Li has said so, then I will only take the cost. Five hundred taels."
Li Long immediately reprimanded, "What? Five hundred taels? Are you crazy? Aside from me, who else would want to use this black iron rod? It's just gathering dust here. I don't think it's even worth a hundred taels."
As the two of them were haggling over the price, Li Qingshan's eyes were looking around the armory. A bright light caught his attention. In the dark armory, the weak light was extremely eye-catching, as if it was unwilling to be buried in the dust.
Li Qingshan looked around and saw that no one else seemed to notice the speck of light. He knew his eyes were different from regular people, so he made his way over like it was a coincidence. He arrived on the weapons rack and picked up a wooden box.
Opening the box, he saw an exquisite knife lying inside. It was only three inches long and was covered in a layer of faint blue light. He asked, "Shopkeeper, how much is this?"
The shopkeeper was startled, "Young hero, you really have good eyes. This is our shop's treasure. A disciple of a famous family who had fallen on hard times left this knife here. It is extremely sharp and I spent one or two hundred taels to buy it."
Li Qingshan 'casually' put the knife back into the box and said, "It's a pity it's too light and too small."
"That's not true. It's precisely because this knife is light and small that it's hidden. It can be used to defend oneself at a critical moment!"
Li Long said, "You're bragging again. No matter which one we pick up, it will be your shop's treasure. We can just treat this knife as a bonus. I won't haggle over these few taels of silver with you."
"How can that be!" The shopkeeper cried out in shock as if someone had stabbed him with a knife.
In the end, one big and one small, along with the spear and knife, settled on a price of four hundred taels of silver.
The shopkeeper had a pained expression on his face as he handed the items over to them. However, his heart was filled with joy. These two pieces of trash had finally been sold. There was no need to talk about the Overlord Spear. After it was forged, no one would be able to use it. It was a waste of so much iron and it was a waste to reforge it. He cursed the blacksmith for this spear.
However, the origin of this knife was true. A young man in dire straits had brought this knife to his door and was sent away by him for ten taels of silver. However, he quickly regretted it. This knife was indeed a good knife that could cut through iron like mud. However, it was too small. Could it be that someone would buy it for a few dozen taels of silver and use it as a flying knife?
Li Qingshan did not know any spear techniques. The 《Overlord Spear Technique》 was quickly delivered to his hands. As expected, it was the most common spear technique in Jianghu. However, the names of the moves were extremely domineering, such as' Sweeping Away a Thousand Army 'and' Overlord Rampage '.
Li Long only took a glance and no longer looked at it.
Li Qingshan, on the other hand, looked at it from beginning to end. He carefully pondered for a while before coming to the practice field and practicing each move.
Spear techniques were much harder to practice than knife techniques. However, after he cultivated the strength of an ox, not only did he increase his strength, he also gained a deeper understanding of the principles of martial arts.
Weapons were just an extension of the limbs!
At first, Li Qingshan's movements were very slow. However, as time passed, his movements became faster and faster. A great spear danced like a black dragon, coiling around Li Qingshan's body. The practice field was filled with a violent gale.
Li Long retreated a few steps back. He was shocked speechless by the power of the spear. It was as if he was really a peerless general, using his own strength on the battlefield to fend off an army of thousands.
Wherever the spearhead pointed, a cold light would shoot in all directions, blood would splatter everywhere, and ghosts would wail and gods would howl. Although he did not hear what Liu Hong said, he understood why his master suddenly became respectful towards Li Qingshan. At such a young age, he already had such amazing martial arts skills. He only looked at the spear manual once, yet he was able to master it thoroughly. In addition, he also had incomparably ruthless methods. Such a person, as long as he did not die prematurely, would become a famous figure in Jianghu in the future. His future would be far above that of a second-rate expert. He might even be able to comprehend the Innate Realm and reach a realm that he could not even imagine.
