Chapter 14: The Sword Seller
After leaving the Library Pavilion, Chu Linfeng returned directly to the house, he knew that his time was urgent, and he had to learn the Wind Chasing Sword Technique as soon as possible in order to be able to win the family competition.
Lin Yanran was not in the room, and after Chu Linfeng closed the door, he prepared to practice this Xuan-level mid-grade martial art.
Chasing the Wind Sword Technique, it can be seen from the name of this martial art that this is a kind of martial art that is very gentle and fast, like the wind without leaving a trace.
The content of the wind-chasing sword technique in his mind is all presented, this martial art is divided into nine styles, the first three styles are mainly based on footwork, the last three styles are mainly attack, and the last three styles are also the most difficult three styles, Chu Linfeng can't see why.
It is naturally impossible to practice this martial art in the room, the place is too narrow to be used at all, Chu Linfeng decided to go to the open place in the back mountain, where no one usually has anyone and will not be disturbed.
Just as he was about to go out, the voice of the sword spirit appeared in his head, "You better go and find a sword that suits you, it is impossible to practice this wind-chasing sword technique without a sword, and in addition, there is not much power left in your body, so it is impossible to practice." ”
Chu Linfeng understood the meaning of the sword spirit, and when he practiced the Phantom Finger, he knew that only by cultivating with the power of the stars could he gain something, and the spiritual power could not play its role at all.
It's just that it's a bit difficult to get a suitable sword, although there is an arsenal in the family, but the quality of the weapons in it is very poor, and it is difficult to find even a low-grade spirit sword.
"Yes, there are often people on the streets of Liuyun City who sell their weapons because they don't have money, and it may be rewarding to go and see it. Chu Linfeng made up his mind and left the Chu Mansion.
The streets of Liuyun City can be said to be full of traffic, with an endless stream of people inside and outside, the cries of their respective vendors, and the shouts of the shopkeepers.
Chu Linfeng hadn't walked on this street for a long time, and after being named a waste, he basically didn't go to other places except for the top of Liuyun Mountain where he was home.
There are many vendors on the street who are setting up stalls, some selling herbs, pets, and martial arts, Chu Linfeng has been looking for a long time and has not seen a single one selling weapons.
I was slightly disappointed in my heart, and when I was about to go back, a shouting voice suddenly came into my ears, "Come and see, come and buy, the low-grade spirit-level weapon, first come, first served!"
Chu Linfeng quickly found the shouting vendor along the source of the voice, he had walked through here before and didn't find him, he might have just come.
With the hawker's shouting, many people have come to the hawker's stall, and it seems that the sale of weapons is the most popular.
Chu Linfeng squeezed into the crowd and saw the weapons placed on the peddler's ground, there were five in total, three long swords, a big sword, and a weapon like Fang Tian's halberd.
Soon someone asked for the price, "How does this sword sell?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, wearing a purple robe, and a long sword at his waist was very conspicuous, looking like a difficult lord to mess with.
"One hundred spirit stones for swords, eighty spirit stones for swords, and eighty spirit stones for halberds!" said the peddler truthfully.
"So expensive?" one of them exclaimed.
A spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred gold coins, and the monthly expenses of an ordinary family are only a hundred gold coins, so I have to say that the price of this hawker is a bit expensive.
"These weapons of mine are all spiritual-level weapons, they are not expensive at all, if you want to buy them quickly, please let me if you don't buy them!" shouted the peddler.
Chu Linfeng also wanted to buy it, but unfortunately he didn't have so many spirit stones on his body at all, so he could only stare at others and buy the weapons in front of him.
The five weapons were all sold out in a blink of an eye, and Chu Linfeng felt a little lost in his heart.
The people around him gradually dispersed, and the vendor also packed up and prepared to leave, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with the selling price today, and he always had a bright smile on his face.
When the peddler was about to leave, he saw Chu Linfeng staring at him upright, "Little brother, is there something wrong?" If you want to buy weapons, please be early next time, today's weapons are sold out." ”
"I do want to buy it, but unfortunately your weapons are too expensive, I don't know if you have cheap weapons. Chu Linfeng asked, he actually didn't look down on cheap weapons, there should be a lot of weapons in the family.
"Do you really want to buy it?" asked the vendor.
Chu Linfeng felt that there was a play, "Yes, but I don't have many spirit stones on my body, and I can't afford to buy them if the price is high!"
The peddler looked at Chu Linfeng carefully, and then said with a smile, "I have an iron sword, but it is rusty, this sword was accidentally obtained by accident in a cave when I was looking for sword casting ore, and this sword almost killed me." ”
"Tell me about it. Chu Linfeng suddenly became interested.
"It's too noisy here, let's find a teahouse to sit down and talk, I think the little brother is good, and I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you the story of this iron sword!" said the peddler and walked towards a teahouse.
Chu Linfeng followed behind him, "You are a swordsmith?"
Chu Linfeng still has some understanding of some special professions on this continent, sword forgers and alchemists are very powerful, and their status is generally very high.
Generally, swordsmiths and alchemists rarely walk outside, they are all recruited by some big families or sects, and they only asked when they heard this vendor say that they were looking for the ore for forging swords.
"Yes, I am a swordsmith, but the grade is too low to be looked down upon by some sects, so I can only forge my own sword and sell it myself. The vendor smiled wryly.
There are many restaurants and teahouses on the streets of Liuyun City, and Chu Linfeng has already come to a teahouse when he speaks.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse came out to entertain him very warmly, and the vendor casually found a table and sat down, "My iron sword, it's strange to say, I haven't even seen the material of this sword, but it seems to be rusty on it, so I call it an iron sword." ”
Chu Linfeng sat down and looked at the peddler's age of about twenty-five or sixteen, "You are older than me, I will call you brother, you still tell me how this iron sword made you almost lose your life, I am very curious!"
The shopkeeper of the teahouse brought a pot of tea, poured it and left, and the vendor took a sip of the teacup and said, "Comfortable, the tea here is cheap and delicious, very good." ”
Chu Linfeng didn't speak, and the vendor put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I remember that time I accidentally entered a cave to see if there were any materials for my sword casting in it, but I didn't know that there was a big snake the size of a bucket inside. ”
The peddler paused, and felt very satisfied when he saw the surprised look on Chu Linfeng's face, "This snake is at least a fifth-order demonic beast, and with my strength, I naturally can't defeat it."
Before he could escape, the guy's big tail swept over, and its speed and strength were really indescribable. ”
"You were swept by its tail?" Chu Linfeng asked worriedly.
"Nonsense, the cave is only so big, I can't see how this guy's tail came from, I can't dodge it at all, it's strange not to be swept away, it's just that I don't understand how it does it. The peddler said meaningfully, as if he was still savoring the danger of the time.
The fifth-order demonic beast has the strength of a powerhouse in the Earth Martial Realm, and being swept away by such a monster and not dying also shows the power of the hawker in front of him.
"What was the result, you won't tell me that you were directly swept away by it, right?" Chu Linfeng asked after taking a sip of the teacup.
"If only I had fainted, I was directly knocked away by its blow, and I hit the stone wall of the cave, and the cave collapsed in an instant, and I was honored to be buried in it. The vendor smiled wryly.
"You're not hurt?"
"I didn't suffer much damage, but my ribs were broken four times, and I just broke the blood a little, and I was too early to die!"
Chu Linfeng gasped, this guy is really good, it seems that it was really a scene of nine deaths and a lifetime at that time.
