Chapter 137: Chapter 135: Green Reed Sword_2
Translator: 549690339
“Fellow Daoist, please think carefully. Once a top-grade magic tool is sold, it cannot be returned. This rule wasn’t set by me, but the owner of the Nine Dragons Shop, and 1 don’t have any say in the matter.”
“Alright, let’s talk about the prices.”
At this point, he had reminded Han Yi about the risks of buying and the transaction details could proceed.
“The Fiery Fire Sword is priced at 5,300 mid-grade Spirit Stones.”
“The Eight Desolation Sword is priced at 3,700 mid-grade Spirit Stones.”
“The Green Reed Sword is priced at 2,800 mid-grade Spirit Stones.”
“For the above prices, if you use top-grade Spirit Stones to purchase, you can get a 10% discount. For example, the Fiery Fire Sword will cost 53 top-grade Spirit Stones and you can save 530 mid-grade Spirit Stones, which means it will cost 48 top-grade Spirit Stones in total.”
“The other two swords follow the same pricing.”
“If you decide, you will need to pay a 30% deposit, and come back in three days to collect the magic tool.”
Han Yi did not immediately make a decision but pondered for a moment before asking, “Shopkeeper He, do you have any complete sets of dagger magic tools in your store?”
“Oh? Wind Demon Daggers…” He Fangwei didn’t continue speaking but nodded in understanding.
Since Han Yi was buying top-grade magic tools, He Fangwei guessed that Han Yi had the strength to use top-grade magic tools, which meant that top-grade sword tools couldn’t meet Han Yi’s needs, let alone the mid-grade Wind Demon Daggers.
Although the set of daggers was made of special materials and crafted by a master smith from the Wild Tool Sect, its grade was still only mid-tier. No matter how powerful it was, it couldn’t catch up with a top-grade magic tool.
He Fangwei flashed through many thoughts in an instant without expressing his doubts. As a shopkeeper, he only needed to provide the transaction plan, and anything else was not his responsibility. Asking too much would be crossing the line.
Moreover, when Han Yi entered the Nine Dragons Shop earlier, He Fangwei didn’t use Qi Observation Skill or other magic skills to detect his breath, because that would be impolite behavior.
Furthermore, most cultivators would use the Concealment Skill to change their breath, and this time, Han Yi didn’t wear a mask in the Red Sun Fang, but He Fangwei didn’t guess Han Yi’s true realm casually.
“There are some.”
“However, among the magic tools 1 have at hand, there is no complete set of daggers above the top-grade level, only a set of middle-grade level daggers.”
“That set of dagger magic tools is far inferior to the Wind Demon Daggers and might not be of interest to you.”
But Han Yi thought about it and still asked; if the price was right, he would buy them together.
Another deal would naturally make He Fangwei happy.
He took out a copper-colored box from his storage, opened it, and nine daggers lay quietly inside.
These nine daggers were also black, but compared to the Wind Demon Daggers, they were shorter and had thinner blades.
“This set of daggers is called Jiu Li Daggers, the name is taken from an ancient human tribe, but neither 1 nor other appraisers believe it is anything more than an ordinary set of mid-grade daggers,”
“The Wind Demon Daggers were sold to you for 30,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to 300 mid-grade Spirit Stones. However, this set of daggers, although there are nine, the price is much lower, only requiring 180 mid-grade Spirit Stones.”
“Fellow Daoist, what do you think?”
Han Yi looked at the set of daggers and had already made up his mind to buy it.
From the dual-dagger position killing method in Tianqing City to the splitting and encirclement method at Evil Mountain Range, and then to the self-explosion blocking method in the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, Han Yi felt more and more proficient in using daggers.
This set of daggers had nine pieces, enough for him to use.
“Alright, I’ll buy them.”
He Fangwei was not surprised and closed the black box, pushing it in front of Han Yi.
As for the top-grade swords, he didn’t rush Han Yi but waited for his decision.
Han Yi silently considered for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, weighing the many factors before finally nodding his head.
What he was considering was not whether he had enough Spirit Stones or whether the swords were good enough.
But if he bought one of these top-grade swords, his strength might be exposed in the eyes of the Sect’s higher-ups.
However, having reached this point, exposure was only a matter of time. He had already entered the Sect Master Yuan Shun’s view, and Fu Canghai, the person behind the Nine Dragons Shop, must know about him since he had sold Qiankun Bags before.
Apart from this, Han Yi evaluated his own strength. Without a top-grade magic weapon, with his peak mastery skills, even if he were to control an ordinary mid-grade magic weapon, he could still kill a cultivator at the peak of Qi Cultivation.
Back in the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, he relied on a low-grade magic weapon and a mid-grade magic weapon to kill a four-meter-tall Black Demon Clan member, whose strength was equivalent to a peak Qi Cultivator.
However, against a legendary Qi Cultivator, even a high-grade magic weapon would be of no use.
His strength: against a peak Qi Cultivator, he had nothing to fear; against a legendary Qi Cultivator, he currently had no hope of victory.
In such an awkward position, having a high-grade magic weapon made little difference to him, but only a top-grade magic weapon would give him the strength to shake and confront a legendary Qi Cultivator.
“I’ll take the Green Reed Sword.”
He Fangwei was not surprised. While he was introducing the items earlier, he had guessed Han Yi’s decision based on his expression and gaze.
“Do you want to trade with mid-grade Spirit Stones or high-grade Spirit Stones?”
“Mid-grade Spirit Stones.”
“Alright, the Green Reed Sword costs 2,800 mid-grade Spirit Stones. Paying a 30% deposit is 840 mid-grade Spirit Stones, plus the Jiu Li Daggers totals 1,020 mid-grade Spirit Stones. Deducting the Spirit Stones you earned from selling your magic weapons earlier and rounding down, you will need to pay 280 mid-grade Spirit Stones now. In three days, you can collect the Green Reed Sword and pay the remaining 1,960 low-grade Spirit Stones.”
“Do you have any objections to this account?”
Han Yi calculated that he would need to pay about 2,300 mid-grade Spirit Stones in total, while he had 2,800 on hand, more than enough, with over 500 left for cultivation.
A moment later.
Han Yi left the Nine Dragons Store, his storage bag lighter with Spirit Stones but heavier with the Jiu Li Daggers.
He originally intended to go straight back to his courtyard but noticed a commotion near the center of Combat Peak.
Han Yi didn’t care for joining in the excitement, but such a situation usually meant something significant had happened, so he needed to inquire and gather information, as it might be relevant to him.
Following the noise to the location of the Combat Platform, he noticed that the people coming and going all had anger on their faces.
Stopping a fellow disciple from the Azure Dragon Peak, who he had met before and was at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, Han Yi inquired about the matter, and was speechless once he understood what had happened.
“Elder You is really dead?”
The disciple at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation also had anger in his eyes, and within it, a touch of fear that was not easy to notice. He cupped his hands in greeting and walked away heavily.
Han Yi stood in place, slightly stunned, but soon came to his senses. Judging by the situation on Combat Peak, what the disciple had said earlier should be true.
You Wu was dead.
He had once entered the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, gained a mysterious fire-attribute physique by chance, defeated numerous peak Qi Cultivators on the Combat Platform within two days, and even achieved Foundation Establishment on the Immortal Path in just a few years, becoming a Foundation Establishment Elder. You Wu had died three days ago.
He died challenging a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator from the Blood God Sect, a sword cultivator named Mo Wen.
Three days ago, in the Dragon Slayer Observatory of Taibai County, You Wu pointed his sword at Mo Wen, but under Mo Wen’s three slashes, he died, his soul scattered, and his sword shattered.
The shattered Fire Inversion Sword had been brought back to the sect by the Supreme Elder Zhuge Wu You, and You Wu’s death was officially announced.
Removed from the Heaven List.
Everyone was shocked and angry.
Han Yi looked toward the center of the Combat Peak but did not approach. Instead, he hurriedly turned around, left the Combat Peak, quickly returned to Azure Dragon Peak, entered his courtyard, and his chaotic heart gradually calmed down.
Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, he cleared his mind of distractions and, after a while, exhaled a turbid breath, his eyes regaining their calmness.
“The path of immortality is ruthless; one must not be careless or arrogant.”
“You Wu’s death serves as a wake-up call for me.”
Although Han Yi had never met You Wu, he was more than familiar with his name as it had been well-known for years.
Young and famous, shocking in battle, reaching the Foundation Establishment and entering the Heaven List – each of these events was a great accomplishment that others would envy.
However, in the end, he died without accomplishing his goal.
All his honors vanished with his death, reduced to nothingness..
