Seeing that Ye Fan was interested, Akatsuki smiled and walked side by side with him.
Ye Fan liked weapons, but so did she.
Akatsuki had always been interested in the weapon culture of the Central Plains. This was a rare opportunity for her to come across a weapon town, so of course she would not miss it.
The two of them strolled around the streets with great interest.
In this town, other than the restaurants and brothels, there were weapon shops everywhere. It was simply a man's paradise.
Japanese, Mongols, Persians, Europeans, and Tibetans.
On the main street, all kinds of non-humankind beings had gathered here, walking in and out of all kinds of weapon stores.
Most of them were weapon dealers, bringing their country's special weapons here to sell at a high price. Then they would bring some Central Plains weapons back to their country to make a huge profit.
Other than these foreign people, there were also tourists who came because of its reputation.
From the highest officials to the nobles, from the nobles to the bandits, from the bandits to the bandits, all of them were present at the same time. It could be said that there were all kinds of people here.
They only came here for one thing.
He wanted to get himself a handy weapon.
Officials bought weapons for two reasons. One was to look at them, and the other was to protect themselves.
Most of them were children of officials and liked to hide their identities and go out to play.
And if they brought their official sabers around, it would be easy to expose their identities. So they came here to look for weapons that they liked. They could hide their identities and not lose their noble status.
Bandit families only bought weapons for one purpose: to kill people.
When they chose weapons, they were never picky like officials. They wanted things inlaid with gold, inlaid with jade, or carved with dragons and phoenixes.
In their eyes, these things were simply superfluous.
Weapons were weapons, as long as they could kill people. What was the use of having so many fancy things?
Bandit families only had two requirements for a weapon. One was to be handy, and the second was to be sharp.
A weapon that could satisfy these two requirements was a good weapon.
So as long as they heard the customer's request for a weapon, the owner of the weapon shop would be able to deduce the customer's background, whether they were an official or a bandit.
Of course, they did not care about the customer's identity.
As long as the customer could afford it, they could provide any weapon, even official sabers.
Whether the customer was an official or a bandit, black or white, it had nothing to do with them. They only sold weapons and did not care about anything else.
To them, inquiring about a guest's identity was a great taboo. It could even cost them their lives.
Because the more one knew, the faster one would die.
It was because of this unwritten rule that the weapons here were famous and sold well overseas.
Ye Fan and Akatsuki walked and stopped, strolling around the various weapon stores.
The weapons here were not only of high quality, but also varied in variety.
Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, longbows, crossbows, darts, concealed weapons, it could be said that they had everything!
Not only that, but there were also many foreign weapons here.
Sharp arrowheads with black gunpowder, poisoned needles and concealed weapons, Persian scimitars, Mongolian long swords, Japanese battle swords, European knight swords, all kinds of weapons that could be named were here!
"I never thought that there would be such a place in the Great Ming Dynasty."
Looking at the dazzling array of weapons, Akatsuki said in surprise.
It was the first time that she had seen such a scale of excellent weapons.
"Where there are people, there will be Jianghu. Where there are Jianghu, there will be fighting. Where there is fighting, there will naturally be weapons." Ye Fan slowly walked as he said to Akatsuki, "This is the Southwest. Bandits are rampant here. It is normal for a place like this to appear."
Akatsuki nodded.
There were many beauties in Jiangnan, so there were many brothels. There were many bandits here, so naturally there were many weapons.
The two were the same.
"Let's go pick a few weapons and ask the locals about the swamps." Ye Fan looked around the weapon stores and said.
"You ….. you want to buy weapons?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's words made her feel a little surprised.
"That's right." Ye Fan turned his head to look at Akatsuki and said with a smile.
"Could it be that you lack weapons?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
Frost Dragon, Parting Fire, Blooddrinker, Waning Moon.
The four divine weapons that could slay immortals and gods were all in Ye Fan's hands. How could he lack weapons?!
To him, there were a few things that he would never lack.
Money, women, cultivation, weapons.
"It's true that I don't lack weapons. However, don't forget that I need to hide my identity right now. I can't use those few divine weapons easily. Therefore, I can only buy a few at the last minute to make myself look presentable," Ye Fan said.
Since he wanted to hide his identity, he would do it until the end. He could not reveal any flaws.
The moment he used the divine weapons, that Ghost Eyes Thousand Seeker might find out.
Ye Fan could use a camouflage to change the appearance of those divine weapons, but he could not change their domineering power.
It was because of this that Ye Fan wanted to buy weapons here.
"Do you think you can still use weapons now?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
With Ye Fan's current cultivation, even a top-notch expert would not be able to get close to him, let alone force him to use a weapon.
"I can't use my spiritual energy now." Ye Fan turned around and said, "Since I can't use my spiritual energy, I can only use weapons to make up for it."
"That's true." Akatsuki nodded.
As the two of them talked, they stopped in front of a weapon shop that had an ancient style.
The name of this weapon shop was very special. It was called 'Head Nodding Ground'.
This name had a deep meaning and could be said to be appropriate.
Head Nodding Ground could only be used in two situations.
One was to kowtow, and the other was to cut off one's head.
Kowtowing meant that the other party was begging for mercy. Cutting off one's head meant that the other party was killed.
For a weapon shop, this name could not be more suitable.
"Head Nodding Ground? Interesting, let's go in and take a look. "Ye Fan smiled as he walked towards the weapon shop.
Akatsuki was also amused by the name and followed Ye Fan in.
"The two of you, would you like to choose a weapon?"
As soon as the two of them entered the shop, the shopkeeper dressed in luxurious clothes greeted them politely.
The two of them were dressed like martial artists, so the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect them.
"Do you have any better weapons in your shop?"
Ye Fan asked as he looked around at the various weapons hanging on the wall of the shop.
"The weapons sold in our shop are all of excellent workmanship and high quality. The price is also fair," the shopkeeper said to the two of them, "What kind of weapon do the two of you want?"
"I don't know what kind of weapon I want." Ye Fan said.
He usually used magical weapons. Now that he was asked to use an ordinary weapon, of course he did not know what to choose.
The shopkeeper was stunned.
He had seen all kinds of customers, but he had never seen a customer who did not know his preferences.
"This … this is difficult for me." The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.
In his opinion, the young man in front of him should be a young master who came out to play. It was very likely that he had never used a weapon before.
Otherwise, how could he not know what kind of weapon he liked to use!
"Why don't you recommend something to me?" Ye Fan looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile.
The shopkeeper was stunned at first, then he smiled.
"Good! Good! " He politely extended his hand, "The two of you have a seat. I will recommend a few good weapons for the two of you."
It seemed that he would make a lot of money today.
The shopkeeper was secretly happy.
Ye Fan nodded and slowly walked in with Akatsuki. They sat down at a tea table in the shop.
"Serve tea for the two of you."
The shopkeeper shouted to the staff inside and sat down opposite the two of them with a smile.
The staff brought the tea tray and placed it on the tea table.
The shopkeeper waved to the staff, and the staff immediately bowed and left.
"I see that the young hero's body is slender, and his body is vigorous. If you carry a sword, it would be very suitable."
The shopkeeper poured tea for the two of them and said with a smile.
He began to recommend a weapon for Ye Fan.
"Oh, is that so?"
Ye Fan picked up the fragrant tea and placed it by his mouth as he gently blew on it.
"Our shop has just forged a new sword. The sword is three feet and three inches long. It has a beautiful design and is extremely sharp. It is worth one thousand taels of silver. I wonder if the young hero is interested?"
The shopkeeper said to Ye Fan.
He purposely mentioned the price so that the other party would have an idea.
This way, if the other party felt that the price was too high, he could recommend another weapon.
"I can take a look."
Ye Fan took a sip of the fragrant tea and said to the shopkeeper.
"Good!"
When he heard Ye Fan say "I can take a look", the shopkeeper's face immediately lit up.
"Bring the Jun Que Sword for the young hero to take a look," the shopkeeper shouted to the staff.
Not long after, a strong man walked over with a long and narrow wooden box.
He handed the wooden box to Ye Fan with both hands, and Ye Fan took it with one hand.
The wooden box was made of Phoebe zhennan wood. It was extremely luxurious and heavy.
Ye Fan didn't care about this at all. He directly placed the wooden box on the tea table and reached out to open it.
Inside the wooden box, there was a golden sword in front of him.
The sword's appearance was extremely beautiful. It was embedded with seven colored gems and carved with flowing clouds and flames.
Ye Fan reached out to take the sword out of the wooden box and held it in his hand.
Clang!
He held the hilt with one hand and pulled the sword out of the scabbard!
The sword's spine was straight and the blade was sharp. It was snow-white and emitted a cold light.
"Jun, Que," Ye Fan held the sword in front of him and said softly as he extended his sword finger and lightly stroked the blade.
"How is it, young hero? Is this sword to your liking?"
The shopkeeper asked Ye Fan with a smile.
"It is indeed a good sword," Ye Fan said as he stroked the blade. "But unfortunately, this sword is tough but boneless. It can barely be called a Refined Weapon."
Whoosh!
As Ye Fan spoke, he put the sword back into the scabbard and put it back into the sword box.
Obviously, he didn't like this sword.
When Ye Fan said this, the shopkeeper sitting across from him was shocked!
The young man in front of him only took a few glances and accurately pointed out the flaws of this sword!
This person is an expert! Moreover, he was a first-rate expert!
The shopkeeper was shocked.
