In the next two days, apart from working as a sparring partner, Lin Muyu spent almost all of his time at the side of the fake mountain. The results of his cultivation were also very obvious. The scarlet essence stone that was at least a few meters tall had been completely refined into a pile of stone powder, and the spirit energy contained within had been completely absorbed. The effects were obvious, and he could almost be called a copper skin now.
Needless to say, Zhang Wei, Lei Ying, and the other instructors were already amazed by Lin Muyu's transformation. As a sparring partner, she was not injured after a few days. This was definitely unprecedented in the history of the Holy Sanctum.
In these few days, Lin Muyu did not go to visit Chu Yao because his identity had already been exposed. That Zhen Fang had his eyes on him, so there was no need to bring trouble to Chu Yao. On the contrary, Chu Yao had the protection of her brother Chu Huaiyi. After all, Chu Huaiyi was one of the two hundred Imperial Guards in the Imperial Palace. His identity was special, and others might not dare to offend Chu Yao.
… …
In the evening, after dinner, Lin Muyu took his leave of absence and left the Divine Temple. It was the day to buy daily necessities, and Qin Ziling was by his side. Qin Ziling admired Lin Muyu's cultivation and had a "willing to be his little brother" attitude. However, Lin Muyu did not plan on taking in a little brother, so he treated him as a friend.
The streets of the imperial city were also quite lively at night. Lin Muyu carried the Burning Prairie Sword on his back and walked briskly on the stone road. Qin Ziling followed closely behind, his forehead covered in sweat as he smiled and said, "Lin Zhi, don't run so fast. Tell me, what are you looking for?"
"A weapon store. Which is the best weapon store in the imperial city? Can Ziling take me there?"
"Oh?" Qin Ziling muttered to himself and said, "The one with the best sales is in the northern part of the city, but the one with the most quality weapons is the Wan Sheng Weapon Store in the southern part of the city. It is said that they even sell spirit weapons!"
"Okay, let's go!"
"En!"
After running for nearly half an hour, they arrived at the southern part of the city. They could see the signboard of the Wan Sheng Weapon Store from afar, and the signboard of a brothel in the distance.
After entering the store, the shop assistant did not pay attention to the two youths. However, a question from Lin Muyu caught his attention, "May I ask, where is the best weapon here?"
The shop assistant was stunned and looked closely at Lin Muyu. He didn't think he had much money. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you afford the best weapon?"
Lin Muyu smiled. "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm actually here to sell weapons. Look at this."
He took out the Burning Prairie Sword and handed it over. The shop assistant pulled out half of the sword with a clang. He couldn't help but reveal a look of joy on his face as he said, "Third Grade Spirit Weapon, good stuff. Young Hero, how did you get this?"
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "There's no need for you to know that. Tell me, do you have anything better than this sword?"
"What are you talking about? Of course there is. Come with me!"
The shop assistant led them to a corridor and said respectfully, "Shopkeeper, there is a young hero who wants to see the most precious weapon of our Wan Sheng Weapon Store!"
The door opened, and a spirited old man appeared in the hall. His eyes were shining. When he saw the Burning Prairie Sword on Lin Muyu's back, a strange look flashed across his eyes. He was an expert, so he could naturally tell that the sword was not an ordinary weapon. He smiled and said, "Young hero, please come in!"
Lin Muyu walked in and found that the weapons in the front hall were actually ordinary weapons of the highest quality. However, the weapons in this room looked so extraordinary. He could even feel the sharpness of some of the weapons when he got close to them, which made him shudder!
When he stood in front of a large saber, the old shopkeeper smiled and said, "Green Lion Saber, First Stage Mysterious Grade. It was once used by Warrior Sage Liu Xuanying. It's a treasure of our store, priced at 400,000 Jin Yin Coins, but no one can buy it."
Lin Muyu was speechless. It was too expensive. His monthly salary was only 100 Jin Yin Coins, 1200 a year. He would have to spend 333 years in the Holy Temple without eating or drinking to afford this saber. Moreover, he was already a "tall, rich, and handsome" with a high salary in the capital. If it was a poor loser like Qin Ziling with a monthly salary of 5 Jin Yin Coins, he would have to be beaten for tens of thousands of years before he could afford it!
Soon, he walked in front of a fiery-red longbow. He had a carved bow, but no matter how he looked at it, it couldn't compare to this one. This was because the bowstring of this bow glowed with a sparkling and translucent light, just like moonlight. It was obvious that this was a treasure!
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Snow Jade Moon Bow, Fifth Stage Saint Grade. Legend has it that it was the weapon of Goddess Murong Yan, who stepped into the Divine State more than 3000 years ago. After she ascended, she left this bow behind. In the end, it passed through many hands and landed in this old man's hands. The price is 800,000 Jin Yin Coins."
Lin Muyu was speechless again. This bow was indeed a good bow, but he definitely couldn't afford it.
"Shopkeeper, could it be that the blacksmiths in the capital can't forge Spirit Grade and Mysterious Grade weapons? Why are these weapons so ridiculously expensive? "He asked the question in his heart.
The shopkeeper laughed heartily, "Young Hero, the majority of famous blacksmiths don't cultivate, so their lifespan is only a hundred years. Moreover, famous blacksmiths are rarely seen in this world. Only a few of them appear in tens of thousands of years. Many people can only forge one or two representative pieces in their lifetime, so naturally, Spirit Grade and Mysterious Grade weapons are very rare."
As he said this, he revealed an unfathomable smile and said, "Young Hero, do you know what the people in the capital call me?"
"En, what do they call you?"
"Sword Elder."
"Why?" Qin Zi Ling couldn't help but ask.
"Because this old man has been obsessed with swordsmanship my entire life!" The Sword Elder laughed heartily and suddenly raised his hand. The Burning Prairie Sword on Lin Muyu's back was suddenly unsheathed. Under the control of an invisible force, it flipped in the air and emitted a series of whistling sounds. Lin Muyu raised his head and his face revealed a trace of shock. Without waiting for him to react, the Sword Elder pressed his palm down and the Burning Prairie Sword automatically returned to its sheath. He didn't give Lin Muyu much time to react.
"Senior … your swordsmanship is truly outstanding and unparalleled!" Lin Muyu's heart was full of respect.
The Sword Elder proudly stroked his beard and laughed, "I can't say that I'm unparalleled, but I do have a treasure that is truly unparalleled. Young Hero, do you want to see it?"
"En!"
The Sword Elder walked to the side of a wall and lightly pressed a mechanism. The wall trembled and a drawer-like container automatically extended out. The Sword Elder took out a long black box from inside and placed it on the table. He smiled and said, "Please take a look!"
Lin Muyu walked forward and opened the box. He discovered that it was a very simple and unadorned long sword. He picked it up and pulled out a section of the sword's blade. Suddenly, he felt an invisible wave of air ripple around him. The sword's light was clear and cold. The sword's blade's design was also very classical. The sword's body was transparent and bright. It was as if layers of starlight were densely covering it. It was very beautiful. The most important thing was that the sword's blade had overlapping edges. The design was almost impossible to see with the naked eye. This made Lin Muyu even more shocked. His refining skills included blacksmithing. This sword was absolutely rare in the world!
"What kind of character is this? Senior, this is truly a peerless sword!" He sincerely praised.
The Sword Elder was very satisfied with his performance and laughed, "This sword is called" Star Sword ". It is a third rank saint grade sword. Its sharpness is far better than the Azure Lion Saber and the Snow Jade Moon Bow. It is the real treasure of this shop. This old man can even be sure that in the entire Empire, there isn't a sword that is comparable to the Star Sword. Young Hero, what do you think?"
Lin Muyu couldn't bear to let go of the Star Sword. He said, "It is truly unparalleled … How much is this sword?"
"Priceless treasure …" The Sword Elder shook his head and sighed with a smile, "In fact, no one can afford to buy this priceless divine weapon. Even this old man is not willing to sell it. When I die, I will bury this sword with me. I just hope that it won't be stolen by some heartless grave robber …"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but jokingly said, "Then when senior is buried, remember to tell me the specific grave location …"
The Sword Elder also laughed. He didn't care because this was the best affirmation of this sword.
"Young Hero, do you still want to buy or sell the sword?" The Sword Elder asked again.
Lin Muyu shook his head, "No, the Wan Sheng Weapon Shop was an eye-opener for me. Thank you, Sword Elder, for letting us see such a treasure. Thank you …"
"Haha, you're welcome. I won't send you off!"
…
In fact, the Sword Elder was a person who loved swords. From his name, it could be seen that there were people who appreciated his treasures. This was his greatest pleasure.
Lin Muyu was thinking about what kind of achievements the Weapon Forging Technique could achieve in this world. Would she be able to forge a divine weapon that was comparable to the Star Sword? It was a bit difficult, but if she didn't work hard, how would she know?
Passing through the corridor, a group of soldiers was training in the backyard. There were so many treasures in the weapon shop. It seemed that it was unrealistic to not have enough military strength to protect them. Although there were Imperial Guards patrolling the city at night.
…
On the way back, Qin Zi Ling was very surprised at the reason why Lin Muyu came to the weapon shop. Lin Muyu didn't say much. Regarding his Weapon Forging Technique, it was better to keep it a secret. After all, an ordinary man's wealth would cause him to get into trouble. If others knew that he had such a powerful Weapon Forging Cauldron, they might even want to get rid of it!
As they were walking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the street in front of them. Hundreds of cavalrymen were rushing towards them!
"Be careful!"
Lin Muyu was agile and brought Qin Zi Ling away from the cavalry's charge. Qin Zi Ling was so scared that his face turned pale: "What's going on? Why are they in such a hurry? Whose army is this?"
Looking in the direction of the cavalry, there was still an endless stream of cavalrymen behind them. They came from a mansion with a very high status. Above the entrance were four large golden words — Seven Seas Tang Sect!
Qin Zi Ling stared blankly: "Ah … it's Seven Seas City's Duke Cang Lan's army. What's going on?"
Lin Muyu's heart trembled and said: "Duke Cang Lan … is he Tang Xiaoxi's grandfather?"
"That's right. You also know Lin Zhi?"
"En."
Lin Muyu didn't say so much. She quickly squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and grabbed the collar of a middle-aged uncle. She asked anxiously: "Uncle, what happened to the Tang Sect?"
This uncle was still amiable. Seeing that Lin Muyu was carrying a sword on her back, he said very politely: "Seven days ago, the Tang Sect's eldest miss, Tang Xiaoxi, brought her guards out of the city and entered the Dragon Seeking Forest to find a brat called Lin Muyu. Who would have thought that she would be chased by the Hall of Chivalry. It is unknown whether Tang Xiaoxi is dead or alive. At night, the surviving guards rushed back, so they have now sent out an army to search for Princess Tang Xiaoxi's whereabouts."
"Xiao Xi, she … went to find me?"
Lin Muyu's mind instantly went blank.
