Ding!
A yellow gold coin was flicked up high by Zuo Yi's finger, drawing a shining arc in the air.
Before the gold coin was pulled down by the Bluestar, it had already fallen into the mouth of the Gargoyle.
This was a reward for its loyalty.
Screech!
After swallowing the gold coin, the Gargoyle let out a joyful cry, folded its wings, and landed in the canopy.
It continued its vigilant mission.
Zuo Yi smiled. He jumped up silently and returned to the study through the open window.
Putting the two swords on the desk, Zuo Yi walked out of the study and came to Bao 'er's room.
He gently pushed open the unlocked door, and the dim light immediately flowed out and spread out in the corridor.
The air conditioner that was running made a low buzzing sound. On the small single bed, the little girl was sleeping soundly.
But she didn't sleep well, and most of the air conditioner covering her body was kicked away.
At the bedside, Teck, who was lying in the kennel, raised its head vigilantly.
Seeing that it was Zuo Yi, it quickly continued to pretend to sleep.
Its kennel was originally placed in the living room downstairs by Zuo Yi, but this guy brought it up and put it here.
Because Bao 'er was happy, Zuo Yi didn't object.
Zuo Yi tiptoed to the bed. He leaned over and covered the little girl with the quilt again, then lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.
Bao 'er seemed to feel something in her sleep. She smacked her lips twice and murmured "Daddy", but she didn't wake up.
Staring at the little girl who was like an angel in front of him, Zuo Yi's heart was full of tenderness and love.
The murderous intent that had just arisen from killing two people disappeared without a trace.
And his will became unprecedentedly firm.
As long as he could protect the beauty in front of him, Zuo Yi didn't hesitate to kill, he didn't hesitate to become the God of Death that destroyed all evil!
(In the world of Sadeya, the Grim Reaper was a neutral term that did not represent good or evil.)
Zuo Yi quietly sat on the edge of the bed for a long time. When he saw that the little girl didn't kick off the quilt again, he quietly left her room.
He returned to the study again.
Sitting in front of the desk again, Zuo Yi pulled out a double-edged sword.
It was obvious that these two swords had only been made for a short period of time, because both the hilt and the scabbard were brand new with no signs of frequent use.
Zuo Yi noticed that at the bottom of the sword, two seal characters were engraved, "Broken Water".
He pulled out the other double-edged sword and looked at it. There was the same mark on it, so these two swords should be called the Water Breaking Dual Blades.
Zuo Yi gently brushed his fingertips across the blade. He had a good understanding of the material and craftsmanship of this trophy.
In the past few decades, the entire world, including Da Xia, had seen the rise of martial arts. All kinds of martial arts dojos were popping up everywhere. There were more and more people learning combat and swordsmanship, and there were also countless professional warriors.
Da Xia's Martial Arts Alliance held a martial arts competition every year. The prize money was very generous, and the winners were eligible to participate in the World Martial Arts Competition to win even more money and glory.
The World Martial Arts Competition was now equivalent to the Olympics and World Cup from decades ago. It was watched by hundreds of millions of people.
Martial arts had also become a huge industry.
The industries that revolved around this industry naturally developed rapidly. For example, sword forging. In the past, sword forging was mostly a handicraft, but now, it was a practical weapon. The scale of production increased by more than a hundred times.
For an ordinary amateur swordsman, having a set of standard sword equipment was enough to satisfy their basic needs. However, professional swordsmen often pursued premium and famous products.
Among them, the most sought after by professional swordsmen were undoubtedly hand-forged swords that were custom-made by master swordsmiths.
The two Water Breaking Blades in Zuo Yi's hands were not products from a factory's assembly line. Although he did not find any other markings, their excellent quality and exquisite craftsmanship clearly indicated that they were made by a top swordsmiths.
Back when Zuo Yi was learning martial arts in Tenhiro Budokan, he had received the guidance and edification of Dojo Master Shanghe. He had a certain level of appreciation for swords, and now, his judgment was a thousand times better than before.
His judgment was naturally very accurate.
This also meant that these two spoils of war were very valuable!
Zuo Yi, who was already overdrawing his bank account, stroked his chin. He felt that his luck was pretty good.
He was lacking in money, but someone had immediately rushed over to deliver it to him!
However, selling these two swords was a problem. The main problem was that Zuo Yi did not have the channels or experience in this area. He could not possibly set up a stall by the side of the road, right?
Or put it up for sale online?
After some thought, he switched on his computer and went online to do a search.
The results left Zuo Yi somewhat disappointed. Although there were many swords for sale on second-hand trading platforms, the rules forbade the trading of bladed weapons and controlled weapons.
The two blades that Zuo Yi had obtained were sharp weapons, so they were naturally not within the scope of the rules.
In fact, according to the rules of the Da Xia Martial Alliance, as long as a professional swordsman applied for a sword license, they could purchase bladed swords.
However, the main source of purchase was through legally licensed weapon shops.
As such, if Zuo Yi wanted to sell his spoils of war to fill up his account's deficit, there was only one path he could take.
That was to sell them to weapon shops that provided recycling services.
However, Zuo Yi remembered that Shanghe had once told him that weapon shops' recycling prices were very low. If he wanted to immediately cash in a newly bought sword, he could only get a 30% discount, and it had to be sold in the original shop with a certificate.
The Water Breaking Blades' origins were unknown, so it was a problem whether they would accept them. Even if they were willing to accept them, the price would probably be severely reduced.
Zuo Yi felt a toothache when he thought about it.
He saw that it was not too late, so he sent a WeChat message to Shang Yulin.
He asked if she knew any good merchants.
If Shanghe was still alive, he would definitely be able to introduce Zuo Yi to a good channel, but Shang Yulin might not.
She did not have the ability to run a martial arts dojo, so Tenhiro would be done for in her hands.
Shang Yulin quickly replied.
After understanding that Zuo Yi wanted to sell swords, she also told Zuo Yi that selling swords online was unreliable and illegal.
As for weapon shops, the swords used by Tenhiro Budokan were all purchased directly from the factory, saving a lot of costs.
Therefore, she did not have a suitable channel for this. In addition, the recycling prices of weapon shops were very low, so she did not recommend it.
However, Shang Yulin still pointed out a way for Zuo Yi.
That was to sell at the Xixi Underground Market.
The Xixi Underground Market was located under the Xixi Martial Arts Practice Field.
The Xixi Martial Arts Practice Field was the largest martial arts competition venue in Jiangnan Province. It had five floors underground, including two floors of parking lot and three floors of underground market. It was very large.
The first floor of the Xixi Underground Market had both fixed stalls and a large number of rented stalls. There were a variety of items sold, such as antiques, paintings, jewelry, weapons, electronic products, materials, herbs, and so on.
Many local martial artists in Hangzhou often went to the Xixi Underground Market to find treasures. Therefore, if Zuo Yi wanted to sell his swords at a good price, he could rent a temporary stall on the first floor.
The rent was quite cheap.
It was normal that Zuo Yi did not know about the Xixi Underground Market, because this market had just opened three or four years ago.
"Thank you."
After receiving this very useful information, Zuo Yi felt that the clouds had cleared and the sun had appeared.
Because the problem he was worried about would soon be no problem.
"You're welcome."
Shang Yulin replied, "Rest early, good night."
"Good night."
After ending the conversation with Shang Yulin, Zuo Yi put down the phone and picked up the Broken Water Sword again.
He was going to modify these two swords slightly.
This was a very simple matter for Zuo Yi. He first found a piece of Crimson Black Gold from his space ring.
Crimson Black Gold was a very special metal. Its weight and ductility of the same volume were much higher than that of gold.
Crimson Black Gold was extremely resistant to corrosion and had a very high affinity with combat energy and magic power. Therefore, it was an important auxiliary material used to make rare grade weapons.
However, in the world of Sadeya, there were many reserves of Crimson Black Gold, so the price was not particularly expensive. The longan-sized piece of high-purity Crimson Black Gold that Zuo Yi took out was probably worth two law gold coins.
Holding the sword in his left hand, Zuo Yi held the Crimson Black Gold with his right hand and then ignited his combat energy flame.
When the Crimson Black Gold melted into a liquid in his palm, he waved his hand and quickly wiped the blade.
In the blink of an eye, the originally silver-white blade was evenly "plated" with a dark golden coating of Crimson Black Gold, suddenly showing a completely different texture!
