Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2169 - 172: Shaw Master Buys a Sword, Spending Money Recklessly!
After enjoying a delightful meal in the tavern, Ling Xiao continued on his journey.
His destination was the Eight Immortals County City, and the East Pass was just a brief stopover.
Along the way, the Shen Dian found it too boring and flew out of the Storage Ring.
Seeing that no one was around, Ling Xiao didn’t stop her, as Shen Dian had a soul, and keeping her in the Storage Ring all the time might suffocate her.
Apparently, Shen Dian had never been to Eight Immortals County City before, everything seemed new to her.
She was having a great time.
After roughly ten minutes, the majestic Eight Immortals County City came into full view.
The number of people ahead gradually increased, and Ling Xiao intended for Shen Dian to return to the Storage Ring.
But suddenly, a terrifying energy force surged from afar, forming a large hand condensed by Primordial Power that grabbed Shen Dian.
Frowning, Ling Xiao looked around two hundred meters away.
A young man in luxurious clothes, accompanied by several subordinates, was playing with Shen Dian in his grip.
This man appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen, with an estimated cultivation level of about the fifth level of a half-step Yin-Yang Realm.
Not much of a master, but to defeat him, Ling Xiao might have to use the Hell Dragon Seal.
But with the Shen Dian taken, he could not let it go lightly.
If he had to use the Hell Dragon Seal, then he would use it. Having killed even Yin-Yang Realm Martial Artists, why would he fear a half-step Yin-Yang Realm cultivator?
He hoped the other party wouldn’t court death!
Judging from his clothes and demeanor, the young man was probably a martial artist from a great family.
He wondered if he belonged to one of the Three Great Families. If so, he would surely hit the jackpot this time.
But so what even if he did?
Could Ling Xiao tolerate someone taking Shen Dian and remain indifferent? Be willing to be a coward?
Of course not.
"Kid, how much for this sword?"
While thinking, the man suddenly walked over, looking down at Ling Xiao as he asked.
"Not for sale!"
Ling Xiao replied calmly.
The man didn’t mind, smiling as he said, "In this world, there’s nothing money can’t buy. If it’s not for sale, it just means the offer isn’t high enough. How about this, I’ll give you 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones for this sword, how about it?"
100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones!
Passersby martial artists suddenly stopped in their tracks, looking at the young man in luxurious clothes with surprise.
Using 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones to buy a wooden sword? Is there something wrong with his head?
Of course, some with good eyesight could immediately see the many special inscriptions on the wooden sword.
These inscriptions were probably key to forming a Magic Array.
"Could it be a Secret Technique Sword?"
"Even if it’s a Secret Technique Sword, it would only fetch 50,000 to 60,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones at most, and Secret Technique Swords vary in quality. Look at how that kid is dressed, clearly a country bumpkin. What good sword could he have?"
"Right, Shaw Master is probably making a loss then."
"Hehe, is he afraid of losing? The spirit stones Shaw Clan spends on women surpass this amount.
Shaw Master probably found the Secret Technique Sword pretty and wanted to gift it to some girl."
Apparently, someone in the crowd had already recognized the identity of this noble young man in luxurious clothes, identifying him as Shen Shi, a direct disciple of the Shaw Clan.
Direct disciple, meaning he was one of the Shaw Clan’s own, and he was personable and generous, not to mention strong.
Hearing the discussions, Ling Xiao mused that he really had some connection with the Shaw Clan.
Back in Yuhua Town, their representative, Shen Luo Chen, wanted to discipline him, but Lin Yuan stopped it.
Later on, Shen Menɡ schemed against the Ling Family, resulting in his destruction by him.
And now, another Shen Shi appeared.
Truly the enemies and narrow paths.
But Ling Xiao did not plan to cause trouble today, his goal was simply to retrieve the Shen Dian.
His next destination was the Eight Immortals Tower, and he didn’t want complications.
Of course, if Shen Shi acted recklessly and insisted on causing trouble, he wouldn’t mind teaching him a lesson his own mother wouldn’t recognize.
Shen Shi was fondling the Secret Technique Sword, completely shocked.
This sword he originally just found pretty, and its ability to fly on its own was extremely rare.
He intended to take it to gift to the elder sister on the Eight Immortals Mountain; today was the day Eight Immortals Mountain was recruiting disciples, and Eight Immortals Tower was filled with young martial artists from all over.
There were quite a number from the Three Great Families alone.
He knew the stewardess responsible for recruiting disciples because he had a relative working on Eight Immortals Mountain.
Stewards, though not on par with Elders in Eight Immortals Mountain, held significant strength and status.
And that sister was exceptionally beautiful, and he was quite smitten with her.
If he could give this to the sister, it would definitely improve their relationship.
But now, he was reluctant to part with it.
Having some knowledge about Secret Technique Swords, he discovered it was superior to any Secret Technique Sword he had seen before.
The potential it contained was practically infinite.
If he could claim it as his own, it would be a huge asset.
He was determined, today, no matter the cost, he would secure the Secret Technique Sword.
100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones weren’t enough, then 200,000.
If the other kid couldn’t appreciate his offer, he wouldn’t hesitate to use force.
Thinking of this, without waiting for Ling Xiao to speak, he added, "200,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, now you should be satisfied, right?
Don’t be too greedy, or you’ll bring disaster upon yourself!"
Hearing this, the crowd grew even more excited.
Spending 200,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones to purchase a wooden sword, Shen Shi truly was a wastrel.
"Young man, sell it quickly, 200,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, you don’t look well-off, probably won’t earn that many Spirit Stones in your lifetime."
"Yeah, why isn’t that wooden sword mine? All the good luck went to this country bumpkin."
The people urged Ling Xiao to sell the wooden sword, acting as if 200,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones was an enormous bargain.
However, Ling Xiao’s expression bore a hint of mockery.
The other party clearly recognized the Secret Technique Sword’s extraordinary nature, prompting him to bid 200,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.
But only Ling Xiao knew that Shen Dian was the Secret Art God Scripture!
The sword encompassed the ultimate Secret Technique Sword of nearly all secret arts.
200,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones?
Just a touch might be worth that much; owning it was impossible, even if the Shaw Clan offered their entire fortune.
"Sorry, this wooden sword may not be much, but it’s a family heirloom, I absolutely cannot sell it, not for 200,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, not even for 200,000 Top Grade Spirit Stones."
Ling Xiao shook his head, calmly refusing Shen Shi’s offer.
The crowd immediately erupted once more.
"Is he crazy? Refusing to sell for 200,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, I’d be insane with joy."
"Yeah, who’d have thought this country bumpkin is not only poor but also an idiot."
"Shaw Master doesn’t look happy, that kid is in trouble now."
The crowd’s discussions were mostly mocking Ling Xiao.
