Upon hearing Ji Yun's words, Yue Xi immediately spoke up.
"To be honest, I don't have many spirit stones on me, so I can't afford a good spirit sword. How many spirit stones would that damaged sword cost?"
"Four thousand spirit stones will suffice!"
The old man immediately quoted a price. Nobody wanted this thing anyway; rich people would definitely buy the better ones, and poor people wouldn't want this broken sword. If we could sell it, we'd make a profit.
Upon hearing that Yuexi wanted to buy that broken sword, Li Wunian quickly grabbed Yuexi's hand.
"Yuexi, there's no need. Senior sister has some spirit stones here, which I can lend to you first. You can use them and pay them back slowly later."
However, Yuexi ignored Li Wunian and looked at the old man.
Clearly, the old man was also watching her, knowing that this fairy wanted to buy the sword, and was preparing for a thorough bargaining match.
"Two thousand spirit stones!" Yuexi's eyes were firm.
"four thousand!"
"Two thousand five!"
"Three thousand five!"
"two thousand!"
"make a deal!"
"???" The old man realized what was happening and his eyes widened. "Wait a minute, I spoke too quickly. How come you keep going back on your word when you're trying to negotiate the price, fairy?"
Yuexi took out her storage bag: "We've already agreed on a price. Here's two thousand spirit stones. You won't go back on your word, will you?"
The old man originally intended to complete the transaction with three thousand spirit stones, but who knew that the fairy would suddenly lower the price? He blurted out "sold!" in a moment of carelessness. Isn't this supposed to be a gradual process of raising the price and lowering it gradually until the deal is reached? How can the price suddenly be reduced midway through the bidding?
In the trading industry, once the word "deal" is uttered, it's not easy to take it back.
In the end, Yuexi obtained the sword for two thousand spirit stones.
As they left the Treasure Shop, Li Wunian gave Yuexi a thumbs up.
"Junior sister can't understand you anymore."
"......"
Yuexi was a little embarrassed, as it was all taught by her master in her sea of consciousness.
"Master, what is so special about this sword?"
She wasn't stupid; she knew that her master must have a reason for asking her to buy this sword.
"This sword is called Calamity. Its surface runes carry the attributes of thunder and fire, but I have engraved an array inside it. The array contains the power of the Heavenly Dao. Those who are not at the Nascent Soul stage cannot see the true nature of this sword."
"This...it's actually Master's sword?" Yuexi exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, when I was fighting someone, a piece of my body was cut off. I then gave it to one of my disciples, but I don't know how it ended up here."
Ji Yun was just making up a story based on the plot. He claimed that the sword was indeed the former sword of the Blood Fiend Venerable, which Lin Shengwen bought unintentionally at the Hundred Treasures Shop after receiving his prize.
The author's melodramatic plot is so ridiculous it's infuriating; many readers were already complaining about it when I read the book reviews.
"I'll teach you the incantation to activate the formation, listen carefully..." Ji Yun recited the incantation according to the plot.
"Yuexi has noted it down."
"Then what?"
"Thank you for bestowing the sword upon me, Master!" Yuexi was truly sincere this time.
"Oh, my dear disciple, there's no need to be so polite with your master."
The gratitude in Yuexi's heart vanished completely. She felt that this master was very strange, and she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
As Li Wunian walked along the road, he still couldn't understand why Yuexi had bought that broken sword.
She couldn't help but ask, "Junior sister, why did you choose that sword?"
Yuexi thought for a moment and said, "I just feel like we're destined to be together."
“Junior sister, you weren’t like this before.” Li Wunian was heartbroken.
"What was I like before?" Yuexi also wanted to hear what kind of person she used to be.
“You used to tell me everything, but now you just brush me off. I’m so sad.”
Li Wunian feigned sadness and even wiped away non-existent tears.
Yuexi held her hand and said, "Senior sister, don't overthink it. I'll tell you what I need to tell you."
"Can't I tell my senior sister why I bought the sword?"
"This sword is very powerful. Senior Sister will be able to see it during the duel later."
Seeing the serious look in Yuexi's eyes, Li Wunian chose to believe her and wait and see in the arena later.
The two returned to the tournament and watched for a while until the fight finally ended. Now their team only had ten people left.
Five people were then chosen from the ten.
"The second match is now beginning..."
Chu Muxi wins, Lin Youjian wins, Yang Tianba wins, Wu Xun'an wins.
The host announced, "Now for the final round, Yuexi versus Feng Linzhi, please come up on stage."
Yuexi looked at the young cultivator opposite her, who cupped his hands in greeting while holding his sword. Yuexi returned the greeting by cupping her sword in return.
Feng Linzhi laughed and said, "I saw the fairy's fighting style in the first round, which really opened my eyes. I hope the fairy will go easy on me later."
"Fellow Daoist Feng, you're too kind. Please show mercy later as well."
Upon hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter. They all remembered this beautiful fairy, whose methods were chilling.
A burly man with thick eyebrows and a large beard laughed and shouted: "Hahaha... Fairy, I like you just the way you are. You're so refined, you slash me with your sword and I slash you back. Are you playing house? Go for it, Fairy. As long as you can win, it doesn't matter how he uses his sword."
"Yes, fairy, you don't need to hold back. Just target his crotch when you make your move."
"You've gone too far! How could you teach such a fairy such methods?"
Yuexi felt embarrassed by the laughter from the audience. Her ears turned red, and she wished she could disappear into a hole.
Li Wunian put his hand to his forehead, wondering how his junior sister had become like this.
Ji Yun was speechless for a moment, and said sternly, "Go get him, why waste your breath talking to him?"
Yuexi immediately grabbed a broken sword, ready to make her move.
Everyone was somewhat surprised by what they saw.
"Why is this fairy fighting with a broken sword?"
"Isn't this a free gift? If you don't have a sword, I'll lend it to you, fairy." the man shouted.
"It's over, this fairy definitely can't win. I was hoping to see the two fairies duel."
The cultivator shook his head as he spoke, clearly not optimistic about Yuexi.
One cultivator replied, "Yes, the battle between Saintess Chu Muxi of the Bright Moon Palace and her two fairies should have been very exciting, what a pity."
"It's a real shame."
Everyone shook their heads, concluding that Yuexi was no match for her opponent.
Yuexi immediately made a hand gesture and incantation, and the runes on the sword named "Calamity" suddenly appeared.
She thrust her sword forward, and several attacks, accompanied by lightning and fire, instantly hurtled towards Feng Linzhi.
Feng Linzhi quickly threw out a talisman to protect himself.
"Bang bang bang!" Several sounds rang out, and the talisman was instantly shattered.
Yuexi was a little surprised: "Master, this thunder and fire is so powerful."
“You will receive a boost after activating the formation. If you use the power of the Heavenly Dao within the formation, this guy will probably die instantly, so you should probably hold back.”
Upon hearing Ji Yun's words, Yue Xi swung her sword a few more times, and several sword lights mixed with the power of thunder and fire slashed at Feng Linzhi again.
Yuexi used the Cloud and Water Steps to dodge the talisman attacks thrown by Feng Linzhi.
"Damn, this woman is amazing!"
Feng Linzhi gritted his teeth, preparing to reveal his trump card, which he had intended to use to win the final ranking, but he did not expect his opponent to be so formidable.
