It was difficult for a martial artist to fight against a beast with just their body. Therefore, a weapon was a necessity for every martial artist.
If a martial disciple who had yet to become a true martial artist went to a mountainous area where beasts ran rampant, then they would need a weapon even more.
Therefore, weapons were a big industry in the martial artist world. They were on par with the medicine industry.
The weapon shop that Ye Xing entered was called Ye's Weapon Shop. It was the business of the Yeh family. It was also the biggest weapon shop in Green Leaf Village, occupying almost 60% of the market. There were all kinds of weapons like swords, knives, spears, swords, staffs, etc.
Although Ye Xing was the young master of the Yeh family, he wasn't liked by his parents. He didn't have much pocket money, and he didn't ask his parents for it. Therefore, he couldn't afford to buy a good weapon, so he could only borrow it!
No matter how much he wasn't liked by his parents, he was still the son of the head of the Yeh family. Even if he didn't give face to the monk, he still had to give face to the Buddha. With his cheap father's face, borrowing a weapon from Ye's Weapon Shop was naturally not a problem.
At most, the news would reach Ye Xing's ears and make him angry. However, by that time, Ye Xing would have already entered the Green Cloud Mountain Range. He didn't care whether Ye Feihong was angry or not.
When Ye Xing came out of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, he had full confidence that with his farsighted and scanning eyes, he would definitely be able to earn enough money for two weapons.
"Young Master Ye Xing!"
When Ye Xing entered Ye's Weapon Shop, a shop assistant came over to greet him.
Although it was Ye Xing's first time in Ye's Weapon Shop, as a servant of the Yeh family, the shop assistant naturally recognized the son of the head of the Yeh family.
As for those who looked down on Ye Xing's crippled body, that was only limited to some people in the main branch of the Yeh family. For the servants, no matter how crippled Ye Xing was, he was still the young master of the Yeh family. He was the son of the head of the family. He was a high and mighty existence, so they didn't dare to slight him.
Ye Xing nodded with an easy-going expression. He instructed the shop assistant beside him, "Take me to see if there are any good bows in the shop. Introduce them to me."
"The first floor is filled with swords and sabers. The bows and arrows are on the second floor. Young Master Ye Xing, please follow me."
The waiter led the way in front, leading Ye Xing through the lobby on the first floor to the second floor.
"Yo …! Isn't this Cousin Ye Xing? "
Before Ye Xing reached the second floor, a young man who was one or two years younger than Ye Xing came down the stairs. When he saw Ye Xing, he shouted with an exaggerated expression.
The Yeh family had a big business and many brothers and sisters. Of course, they were not blood-related. They were all cousins.
However, even if they were cousins, no one would deliberately refer to each other as cousins and call each other as brothers and sisters.
This young man especially emphasized the words "Cousin Ye Xing". Anyone could see that this wasn't out of respect for Ye Xing, but a kind of mockery.
"Young Master Ye Hu!"
The waiter who led Ye Xing up saw this and bowed to the young man at the top of the stairs, saying, "Young Master Ye Xing has come to see the bows and arrows."
Then he continued to say to Ye Xing, "Young Master Ye Xing, please!"
Ye Xing and Ye Hu competed in rock climbing. In the end, Ye Xing fell and fell unconscious. This was something that everyone in Qingye Village knew. Everyone knew that Ye Xing and Ye Hu did not get along.
Ye Xing glanced at Ye Hu indifferently, and then continued to walk to the second floor with a normal expression.
Seeing Ye Xing so calm, Ye Hu was a bit surprised. If it was in the past, Ye Xing would have been angry long ago.
The surprise in his heart was ignored by Ye Hu in an instant. He revealed a mocking smile, saying, "See the bows and arrows? Hehe, Cousin Ye Xing, with your small body, can you draw the bow and shoot an arrow? "
As he spoke, Ye Hu turned around and returned to the second floor.
Originally, he was about to leave, but when he saw Ye Xing, he was like a cat that smelled blood, unwilling to leave.
Drawing the bow and shooting an arrow was not difficult. Not all bows were strong. Even Ye Xing in the past could draw a large bow with the strength of one stone when he trained the Explosive Bone Fist to eighteen echoes.
The strength of one stone was equivalent to one hundred and twenty kilograms. A normal person would not be able to draw it.
When Ye Hu said that Ye Xing could not draw the bow and shoot an arrow, he did not mean that Ye Xing could not do it. Instead, he was mocking Ye Xing for his small strength.
There were only a few people in the Yeh family who dared to mock Ye Xing, and Ye Hu was one of them.
In terms of background, he was the grandson of the Great Elder. In terms of cultivation, he was in the third stage of the Martial Path. More importantly, he was only fourteen years old. There was hope that he could be like his brother Ye Qing and step into the fourth stage of the Martial Path before the age of sixteen and become a true martial artist.
As for Ye Xing, he did not put Ye Hu in his eyes. He only treated him as a fly buzzing beside him.
Ye Xing did not even look at ordinary bows. He walked directly to a row of strong bows with the strength of at least one stone. He pointed at a bow with the strength of six stones and said, "Let me see this one."
The shop's staff was only responsible for receiving customers. As for how to buy and sell, there were people selling at each counter.
The person in charge of this row of strong bows was a man in his thirties. His name was Lu Daxiong, and he was in the third stage of the Martial Path.
When he saw that Ye Xing wanted to see the six-stone bow, he could not help but be surprised. Wasn't Ye Xing a cripple?
Lu Daxiong said, "Young Master Ye Xing, this iron bow is a six-stone bow. It requires seven hundred and twenty pounds of strength to draw it!"
"That's it!" Ye Xing nodded.
Perhaps Young Master Ye Xing was just looking at it. Lu Daxiong thought in his heart and handed the iron bow to Ye Xing.
At this moment, Ye Hu burst into laughter. The mockery in his eyes was completely exposed. He said, "Ye Xing, you think you can open an iron bow with the strength of six stones? Haha …! "
Before Ye Hu could finish laughing, Ye Xing had already taken the iron bow in his hands. He took a deep breath and pulled the iron bow into a full moon.
Everyone's expression instantly turned into shock. Ye Hu's smile also froze on his face at this moment.
Ye Xing pulled the iron bow and put it away. With his strength, pulling the iron bow was easy. If he used all his strength, pulling an eight-stone or nine-stone bow was not impossible.
However, it was not easy to pull an overly strong bow. It was impossible to use it continuously. Therefore, the most practical bow was the kind that could be used continuously but had enough strength.
This iron bow with the strength of six stones was just right for him.
"Hmph, hold your breath and use all your strength to pull the bow once. It's nothing …!"
Ye Hu pursed his lips and said unhappily. However, his eyes were still filled with surprise.
Even if Ye Xing used all his strength to pull the iron bow, it meant that Ye Xing had a lot of strength. This was much stronger than Ye Xing's strength in his impression.
"I'll take it. Big brother, can I trouble you to give me another 20 good arrows?"
Ye Xing smiled at the man selling the bow. As for Ye Hu, he continued to ignore him.
"Young Master Ye Xing has great strength."
Lu Daxiong praised, but he was not too surprised. After all, even if he had a crippled body, he could still have the strength of a thousand jin. He could be compared to a Martial Disciple of the Third Stage of the Martial Path.
Although he was surprised that Ye Xing could pull the iron bow, it was not to the point of disbelief. Lu Daxiong smiled and said, "The azure-gold arrows are very strong and have a strong penetrating power. They are suitable for a strong bow like the iron bow."
Since there were bows for sale, there were naturally arrows and quiver. Seeing that Ye Xing did not have a quiver, Lu Daxiong chose a good quiver for Ye Xing.
"The iron bow is six thousand taels, the azure-gold arrows are ten taels each, and the quiver is thirty taels. Young Master Ye Xing, the total is six thousand two hundred and thirty taels. Let's forget about the thirty taels change. This quiver is for Young Master Ye Xing. Let's count it as six thousand two hundred taels!"
Lu Daxiong put the twenty azure-gold arrows into the quiver and placed it on the counter. He looked at Ye Xing with a smile.
"Six thousand two hundred taels? Hehe …! " Ye Hu's mocking laughter came again. Obviously, he understood Ye Xing very well and knew that Ye Xing would not give Ye Xing so much money.
Ye Hu's judgement was correct. Ye Xing really did not have that much money, but he did not panic and said, "Let's go.
"Brother, I don't have that much money right now. Let me borrow this bow for a month. After a month, I will pay you double the price."
Lu Daxiong's expression was a little awkward. Six thousand taels was not a small sum. However, the person who borrowed it was Ye Xing, the son of the Yeh family's head. With the face of the Yeh family's head, what was a mere six thousand taels?
Therefore, in just a moment, the awkward expression on Lu Daxiong's face disappeared. He had already made his decision.
However, before he could speak, Ye Hu had already pressed down the quiver on the counter and said, "Oh, you really don't have that much money.
"Oh, you really don't have any money, haha … Ye Xing, even though my Ye Clan is a big family, and a mere six thousand taels of silver is nothing, but we still have rules and regulations. If everyone was like you, and came to the weapon store to buy weapons without spending any money, and all came to borrow, then wouldn't my Ye Clan be starving?"
"What do you want?" Ye Xing looked coldly at Ye Hu.
Previously, he ignored Ye Hu as if he was a fly because Ye Hu's mockery did not affect him. However, it was different now. He needed the bow to go to Mount Qingyun and Ye Hu's actions had already blocked his path.
"What? Heh …! If you want this bow, either buy it with money or put it down and get lost! "
Ye Hu said coldly, his gaze fixed on Ye Xing.
"Young Masters, please calm down. Young Master Ye Xing, don't make things difficult for Young Master Ye Xing. I, Lu Daxiong, will pay for this bow. Consider it a gift from me to Young Master Ye Xing. Please don't fight over this matter …!"
Seeing that Ye Xing and Ye Hu were glaring at each other, sparks flying from their gazes, Lu Daxiong's expression turned anxious as he hurriedly said.
If these two young masters were to fight here, no matter what the result was, he would be implicated when the family investigates. He might as well spend some money and directly give the bow to Ye Xing. As long as he could resolve this dispute, it would be fine.
After the news reached the family head's ears, Ye Feihong would know that he spent six thousand taels to protect his son's safety. He would definitely look at him in a new light. As long as he entered Ye Feihong's eyes, six thousand taels would be worth it.
For Lu Daxiong to do this, it could be said that in order to avoid this dispute, he had already done his best. Unfortunately, the anger between Ye Xing and Ye Hu had already ignited, how could it be extinguished so easily?
Ye Hu's hand did not move away from the quiver. Instead, he grabbed the iron bow in Ye Xing's hand and said, "I said no, it means no, give it to me!"
