Chapter 84: Carp Bone Sword
Guan Jiu's enthusiasm was really beyond Lin Kuo's imagination, with Lin Kuo's meaning, just take a weapon worth dozens of sect contributions, this is enough to show the preciousness of the face-to-face ceremony, but Guan Jiu said that he would pull Lin Kuo to the third floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
Standing on the third floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Lin Kuo's face was helpless, that Yang Steward was not much better, although he was still accompanied by a smiling face, but the smile was full of bitterness, in his heart, he hoped that Lin Kuo could choose a weapon on the first or second floor, and even in the face of Guan Jiu's little aunt, he could give it away for nothing!
As the steward of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Yang Jinquan naturally knows that the weapons displayed on the third floor are far from being able to compare the weapons on the first floor and the second floor, and the price is also very different.
"Good junior brother, you just pick a weapon to take advantage of here, I am such a little junior brother as you, and the meeting gift naturally cannot be ambiguous!"
Guan Jiu raised his head at Lin Kuo, with a little excitement in his beautiful eyes, and seemed to enjoy this feeling of being generous as a senior sister and being admired by his junior brother.
"Senior sister, then I'm welcome!" Lin Kuo rubbed his hands and grinned.
Since people are so enthusiastic, if they repeatedly shirk it, it will be hypocritical, so let's find a chance to repay it in the future!
Lin Kuo wandered around on the third floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, there are no less than a thousand swords displayed here, long swords, short swords, big swords, heavy swords, everything, Lin Kuo directly filtered out the short swords and long swords, the standard iron sword used before belongs to the category of long swords, and this long sword is also the most used type.
Although the standard iron sword was quite easy to use at first, after coming into contact with Wang Cai's big sword, Lin Kuo already had a plan in his heart.
As a powerful martial artist, Lin Kuo felt that a heavier sword was more suitable for him!
Although Wang Cai seemed to be a little straw bag, when he used the big sword to perform the Wind Sword Technique, he still left a deep impression on Lin Kuo, compared to the Qingsong Sword Technique, which focused on lightness and briskness, Lin Kuo preferred the feeling of opening and closing and wantonly swaying his anger!
It was precisely because of this calculation that Lin Kuo focused on the goal of selecting weapons and heavy swords.
Two feet is a short sword, three feet is a long sword, four feet is a big sword, more than five feet, and then thicker, it belongs to the category of heavy sword, Lin Kuo first met Hu Mo, the giant sword he held that looked like a door panel, belongs to the category of heavy sword, and even the huge degree is far beyond the ordinary heavy sword.
However, Lin Kuo's taste was not so exaggerated, and after some wandering, he listed three swords as candidates, namely two big swords and one heavy sword.
Seeing the three swords that Lin Kuo chose, Yang Jinquan's expression could be said to be rich to the extreme, no need to ask Lin Kuo to guess that these three swords must be worth a lot of money, looking at Guan Jiu's eager expression beside him, he was obviously ready to bargain, and Lin Kuo couldn't help but sweat for this Yang steward in his heart.
"That...... Brother Lin Kuo, although these three swords are all made of more precious materials, they are too heavy, and most of the sword skills inherited by our Yi Sword Sect are light and free, in my old Yang's opinion, wouldn't it be better to choose a long sword?"
"Ah, Steward Yang's suggestion, I will consider it later, what is the price of these three swords?"
Lin Kuo said this out of politeness, and he didn't plan to choose the long sword at all.
Yang Jinquan introduced the three swords separately with a helpless face, and then quoted the price in a unified manner, but this price made Lin Kuo so shocked that he couldn't help but grow his mouth.
The price of those two big swords is about the same, and it takes more than 1,000 sect contributions to exchange, but the price of that heavy sword has reached 3,000 sect contributions!
According to the intercommunication ratio of spirit stones and sect contributions of one to one hundred, if this big sword is exchanged, it will cost thirty spirit stones!
And the thirty spirit stones are all comparable to the income of a family of such a large scale as the Fan family of Sui'an County, which is almost half a year's income.
Although Lin Kuo still had a lot of spirit stones on his body, he understood that this spirit stone was not easy to come by, and he was reluctant to use it even when he was cultivating on weekdays.
Lin Kuo secretly glanced at Guan Jiu, but he didn't see her showing the slightest pain, it was really unimaginable, how rich this rich second generation was, Lin Kuo believed that as long as he nodded, Guan Jiu would not hesitate to pay this huge amount!
Before Lin Kuo could make a final decision, at this time, footsteps came from the upper stairs, Lin Kuo just glanced at it reflexively, but then his gaze could no longer be withdrawn, staring blankly at a middle-aged man holding a strangely shaped big sword to the third floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, to be exact, staring at the sword he was holding!
This sword completely subverted Lin Kuo's perception of 'sword', or rather, where is this sword, it is clearly a fishbone!
But to say that this is a sword, it can also be said, the head of the fish is the tip of the sword, the tail of the fish is the hilt, and the miserable white hideous spikes on the body of the fish make people look a little numb.
This sword is five feet long and three inches wide, belonging to the category of big swords, which brings people a strong visual impact, which is also the reason why Lin Kuo's gaze refuses to take his eyes off the sword.
"It's Lao Xue, look at your face is a little ugly, this is ......"
Yang Jinquan looked at the middle-aged man who came down from the upper floor, with a little doubt in his eyes.
"Alas, don't mention it soon, it's not because of this half-finished sword!" The middle-aged man surnamed Xue shook his head and sighed, and after his eyes fell on Guan Jiu, he showed a smile and walked over.
"Nine girls, I don't say hello when I see Uncle Xue, the next time I look for you Lao Tzu to collect the sword, I will definitely sue you!"
Lin Kuo showed a thoughtful look when he heard this, but Guan Jiu looked unimpressed, stared at the strangely shaped big sword held by Steward Xue and asked, "Uncle Xue, this sword is so scary, who forged it?"
Steward Xue laughed a few times and said, "Nine girls, this sword is not artificially cast, but the fish bone of the entire black dragon carp, which has been simply processed. ”
"This is the fish bone of the black dragon carp?" Lin Kuo was quite surprised, and there was a look of interest in his eyes.
"Hehe, does this little brother know about the black dragon carp?" Steward Xue glanced at Lin Kuo, this black dragon carp had been extinct thousands of years ago, and Lin Kuo was so young, it was rare to know the name of this demon beast.
"Good junior brother, if you are interested in the black dragon carp, when there is a chance, senior sister will help you catch one and raise it. ”
Lin Kuo was scorched by Guan Jiu's words, thought for a moment and said, "Senior sister, this black dragon carp is a sixth-turn emperor-level demon beast, and it was already extinct a thousand years ago, where are you going to catch it!"
Guan Jiuyi glared, twisted Lin Kuo's waist fiercely, and said in a low voice: "I know that if you didn't say it earlier, it would hurt Senior Sister Ben to lose face!"
The two stewards, Xue and Yang, all cast sympathetic looks, but there was no surprise, obviously they had been treated by Lin Kuo at this time on weekdays.
After some laughter, Steward Xue also briefly said about this sword, it turned out that this sword has been displayed on the fourth floor since it was included in the Sword Pavilion, but for a long time, no one cared, even after repeated price reductions, no one was interested.
It's not that the sword processed from the fish bone of this black dragon carp is not sharp, but even in the five-turn blade, when it comes to sharpness, there are few weapons that can be outstanding, and the reason why even if the price drops to the freezing point is that no one cares, the reason is still in this strange material.
The fish bone of this black dragon carp was somewhat similar to the ink pith material that Lin Kuo had seen on the first floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion before, and it could not be recast by adding any materials!
As we all know, a good blade must not only be sharp enough, but its hardness and toughness are also crucial, otherwise it will be destroyed by the enemy's blade with one blow during the battle, so what is the use of being sharp!
And the fish bone of this black dragon carp, although it is sharp, but even a second-turn force martial artist can use brute force to break every fish thorn, such a sword can only be used for ornamentation, naturally no one will buy it.
It was precisely because of this that Steward Xue planned to move this sword from the fourth layer to the second layer of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, as for the price, it would naturally be greatly discounted again, after all, even if it was a material from a sixth-rank emperor-level demon beast, it had to be able to sell it!
"Steward Xue, can you show me this sword?" Lin Kuo showed a look of intent, maybe he had a way to solve the disadvantages of this carp bone sword being too rigid and easy to break!
Hearing Lin Kuo's words, the two stewards Xue and Yang took a deep look at Lin Kuo, and found that Lin Kuo's intentions were not pretentious, and they seemed to be really interested in this sword.
Both of them had eyes lit up, Steward Xue wanted to sell this sword, while Steward Yang didn't want Lin Kuo to pick the precious blade in the third layer, if he could buy this carp bone sword, then they would all be happy!
After the carp bone sword was in his hands, Lin Kuo suddenly felt a sinking in his hand, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.
Lin Kuo's body at this time carried more than 6,000 catties of huge strength, which could make Lin Kuo feel a sinking in his hand, which showed how much weight this sword had reached!
Lin Kuo's heart suddenly gave birth to a sense of heroism, and he stepped into the open space in the center of the third floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, picked up the carp bone sword and danced.
Since he had never cultivated the sword technique of the Wind Sword Technique, Lin Kuo could only pick out moves similar to slashing and swinging among the master-level Green Pine Sword Technique.
Every time the carp bone sword is swung, it seems to contain the power that can tear through the void, coupled with the master-level Qingsong sword technique, the entire carp bone sword from the tip of the sword to the thirteen hideous spikes, all burst out of the foot-long sword, Guan Jiu and Yang Jinquan were dazzled, even Xue Guanshi, who had four transformations of cultivation, couldn't help but shine in his eyes.
"Break it for me!" Lin Kuo was completely immersed in the powerful power brought by the carp bone sword, and for a while he forgot that he was still in the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
The sword rushed towards a wall of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, this scene scared Guan Jiu and the other three of them, if Lin Kuo's sword destroyed a wall of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, even if Guan Buping came forward in person, he would definitely not be able to save his life!
Fortunately, there was a fourth-turn martial artist in the field, Steward Xue, and when he saw that Lin Kuo was about to break into a catastrophe, he suddenly rose up, and the last one to block the sword that Lin Kuo slashed out.
"Kick and kick!" Elder Xue, a martial artist in the early stage of the fourth turn, couldn't help but fall back three times after receiving Lin Kuo's sword rays with all his strength, and only then did he completely dissolve this sword rays.
"Ouch, ouch my mother, little brother Lin Kuo, you are really scared to death Xue someone!"
Steward Xue stroked his chest, and looked at Lin Kuo's eyes with some changes, as a martial artist in the early stage of the third turn, he actually slashed out a sword with such amazing power, which was comparable to the full force of a martial artist in the late stage of the third turn!
"Ah, haha, I'm sorry everyone, I was too involved just now, I was reckless for a while, and I almost broke into a catastrophe!" Lin Kuo scratched his head and smiled apologetically, but the joy in his eyes was about to burst out.
When he had just poured Yuan Force into the carp bone sword, Lin Kuo could really feel that this sword actually had the effect of amplifying Yuan Force, which was also very similar to the rare material Ink Pulp, maybe not as good as the Ink Pulp, but it could also increase Yuan Force by one to two percent!
"Alas, Lin Kuo's little brother is young, but he is extremely talented, which really makes Xue embarrassed......!
Steward Xue hesitated slightly, his slightly frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Little Brother Lin Kuo, since you are the personal disciple of Elder Wen Songfengguan, then I will tell the truth about Old Xue, as far as the sword you just now is concerned, let alone colliding with the opponent's blade, just sweeping on the opponent's body, even if it can bring heavy damage to the opponent, but this sword will be broken by the opponent's body protection elemental force!"
Steward Xue finally decided to tell the truth, this carp bone sword is indeed extremely sharp, but if it weren't for its unique material characteristics, it can't be smelted and reforged with various materials, this must be a treasure that is difficult to measure by price! Unfortunately, the truth is just the opposite, this sword can't be used against the enemy at all!
Lin Kuo nodded, and did not return the carp bone sword to Steward Xue, but looked at Guan Jiu and said, "Senior sister, I like this sword!"
Guan Jiu was slightly stunned, glanced at the other three swords that Lin Kuo had selected before, and saw the determination flashing in Lin Kuo's eyes, so he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then let's buy this one!"
The night wind is howling, and the mountain behind the outer gate of the Yijian Sect is inaccessible at night again.
"Huhuhu!" Lin Kuo kept waving the big sword in his hand, practicing a set of sword skills that were different from the Qingsong Sword Technique.
This set of sword skills seems to be extremely simple, as if there are only two moves, which are sweeping left and right, and slashing up and down, but it is in this simple sword skill that it is indomitable, wanton and free and easy, showing a different kind of violent aesthetics to the fullest!
Coupled with the visual impact brought by this strangely shaped sword, Lin Kuo at this time is like incarnating into a barbarian god, invincible between heaven and earth!
The big sword held in Lin Kuo's hand is like a complete fish bone has been roughly processed, the fish head is the tip of the sword, the fish bone is the sword body, and the fish tail is the hilt of the sword.
When he was in the Hidden Sword Pavilion during the day, Lin Kuo made up his mind to ask for this sword, although Guan Jiu wanted to give a more valuable blade as a meeting gift, but he was very precious to this hard-won little junior brother, so he naturally obeyed his words.
Due to the fact that the carp bone sword has not been cared for for many years, the price is not high, coupled with the two-tier relationship between Jiu and Lin Kuo as Guan Buping's personal disciples, it only took five hundred sect contributions to successfully win this carp bone sword!
As for the sword technique that Lin Kuo displayed at this time, which was very different from the Qingsong Sword Technique, it was the "Tempest Sword Technique" that he had always hoped to get!
This Tempest Sword Technique is not a clever sword technique, of course, this is for the Yi Sword Sect, as long as the cultivation reaches the third turn and the disciples of the sect who join the sub-peak, they can selectively cultivate this sword technique, which is also the basic sword skill of the violent school.
Guan Buping has not returned yet, although Lin Kuo is temporarily unable to join the sub-peak, as far as the rules are concerned, he can't get the cultivation technique of the Tempest Sword Technique at all, but he can't stand the 'aunt' of Guan Jiu, and this Tempest Sword Technique is what Guan Jiu grinded from the second senior brother.
Her second senior brother is naturally Lin Kuo's future second senior brother, and the direction of cultivation of swordsmanship is exactly what Lin Kuo desires, opening and closing, going straight.
When he learned that Guan Jiu wanted the Tempest Sword Technique to give to Lin Kuo, Di Cheng did not hesitate to teach Lin Kuo, a cultivation book of the Tempest Sword Technique, as well as some of his own comprehension of the Tempest Sword Technique, to Lin Kuo, a little junior disciple who had never met before.
When Guan Jiu's Tempest Sword Technique, along with Di Cheng's personal comprehension, was handed over to Lin Kuo, Lin Kuo was really a little moved at that time.
In the past few days since joining the Yijian Sect, the only three senior brothers have directly or indirectly contacted two, as well as this eccentric little senior sister, and Guan Buping, a master who has not completed the apprenticeship ceremony, Lin Kuo can feel that these people are sincere and caring for him.
Coming to this world, most of the time is spent in chasing and being hunted down, intriguing everywhere, calculating with each other, and now worshipping the Yijian Sect, because these individuals more or less make Lin Kuo have a sense of belonging here!
With the last heavy slash, Lin Kuo once again ended the cultivation of the Tempest Sword Technique.
After half a night of non-stop cultivation of the sword technique, Lin Kuo could truly feel that he was close to the entry level of the Tempest Sword Technique, but now he was stuck in a small bottleneck.
Lin Kuo planned to wait until the second half of the night to comprehend the beauty diagram, maybe if he had another epiphany, he could help himself directly rush to the entry level of the Tempest Sword Technique.
The most important thing to do at the moment is naturally to turn the carp bone sword into a treasure, and it is precisely because Lin Kuo has planned to do so before that he will choose this magic weapon that is really a chicken rib!
Lin Kuo's face was full of anticipation, and his heart moved, and the headless stone statue that he had brought out in the broken temple had already flown out of the storage bag and landed lightly in front of Lin Kuo.
