Chapter Thirty-Two: Xizhou Street
Xizhou Street is located in the west of the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. The entire street is lined with shops selling foreign goods. Spices and medicinal herbs from the Western Regions, as well as exquisite weapons and equipment from Xizhou, can all be found on this long street. Because the weapons shops from Xizhou are the most famous on this street, people call this street Xizhou Street.
At this time, all the nobles and nobles have gathered in the capital to prepare for their northward campaign. This street is unusually crowded with nobles and their retainers, and we have already encountered several heirs of noble families along the way. As for the sons of aristocratic families, they generally do not come here. Once they reach that position, they all have their own lineage and connections, and these goods sold on the street are not worthy of the attention of the truly great nobles.
Qin Mo was an exception. Over the years, the Hengwang Mansion had spent enormous sums of money, all of which had gone into Qin Mo's bottomless pit. Apart from Allen possessing the epic-level weapon "Evening Moon," he had no other decent weapons. He didn't come to Xizhou Street hoping to find an epic-level weapon; he only hoped to buy a few rare-level weapons to distribute to his generals and increase their combat strength.
"Epic Longbow, those in the know, come and take a look... Don't miss it..." A shout came from the street, piquing Qin Mo's interest. If it really was epic, she would definitely get it.
Qin Mo and the other two squeezed into the shop from which the hawking voices were coming. It was a shop run by people from Xizhou. The shop assistant had blond hair and blue eyes, but spoke fluent Daxia language, which made Qin Mo feel a little dazed.
The shop wasn't big; two weapon racks filled all the space, and the weapons hanging on them all had the same style.
Looking at these exquisite weapons, Qin Mo felt a surge of doubt. These weapons were clearly more decorative than practical, more like accessories on a formal dress.
"Which longbow in your shop is epic-level? I... I can't see it." Qin Mo looked around for a while but couldn't find an epic-level longbow, so she had to ask the blond shop assistant.
"My esteemed guest, epic-level weapons are naturally not displayed for sale outside. Only true powerhouses will see them. Would you like to own an epic-level weapon?" The blond guy was good at whetting people's appetites, but this trick didn't work on Qin Yumu, this big bear.
"Stop wasting your breath and give it to me. If it's good, I'll give you a satisfactory price. If you're just trying to amuse me, hehehe..." The large hand patted the blond waiter's shoulder a few times. With each pat, the waiter shrank a few feet, and in the end, he almost fell to the ground.
"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll show you right away. The person who came out of the shop, who looks like the shopkeeper, is also from the Western Continent."
A blue longbow lay in an exquisite wooden box. The patterns carved on the bow were very beautiful, and the shimmering blue light made the longbow look extraordinary.
Qin Mo picked up the bow and carefully examined the magic array on it. Engraving magic arrays on weapons is extremely difficult, and longbows, being slender and having a larger surface area than swords and other weapons, are naturally even more challenging to inscribe. An epic-level weapon must have at least three magic arrays.
The bow did indeed have three magic arrays. Qin Mo found it strange, so he tried channeling his vital energy into the bow and activating the three arrays in turn to see their purpose. He frowned as soon as he activated his vital energy.
The cultivator uses their own vital energy to activate the magic array, essentially turning the weapon into an extension of their arm. The better the weapon, the more it connects the user to their heart. Epic-level weapons are already top-tier weapons, and should theoretically feel like an extension of the cultivator's body. However, this bow is not connected to the heart; even the infusion of vital energy is extremely sluggish.
As the vital energy was injected, the three magic arrays lit up one after another, and the bow began to emit a dazzling color, leaving Qin Mo dumbfounded.
Two blue wings of light extended from both ends of the longbow, eliciting gasps of amazement and admiration. Just looking at the halo effect, it was clear that this was no cheap item and that most people couldn't afford it.
"My lord, this bow was made by the Western Continent bow-making master Rosselliu, modeled after the legendary weapon Solidal, the Wrath of the Stars. The two magic circles work together to perfectly showcase the Wrath of the Stars' wings of light. The master has also added a unique power-reducing magic circle, allowing you to drive it with ease. It's simply a masterpiece." The handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed shopkeeper launched into a eulogy, as if you were lacking in taste if you didn't buy it.
"How much?" Qin Mo interrupted him and asked bluntly. This bow is fine for Lin Ruoxi to play with, but it's not suitable for combat. The three magic arrays meet the requirements of an epic-level weapon, but the two useless magic arrays are completely useless, and the power reduction magic array and the power charging magic array are two completely different things.
"You have a good eye, sir. This bow is a near-legendary weapon. It's only 10,000 taels."
"...Why the hell don't you just rob someone?" Qin Mo's curses echoed across Xizhou Street, drawing everyone's attention.
"Uh..." The blond waiter was speechless for a moment before he understood Qin Mo's meaning. He had always thought he had a good eye; although this young nobleman in black was simply dressed, he exuded an air of aristocracy—elegant and intellectual. Now, he was angrily swearing, clearly enraged by him, but he had no idea where he had offended this nobleman.
"Thump!" Qin Mo threw the so-called "epic-grade longbow" into the bow case, turned around and left, muttering as she went: "What a load of bull, it's not even rare-grade, do they think I'm an idiot!"
"Hahahaha..." The two friends laughed so hard they were bent over. They didn't have anything particularly good in Xizhou to begin with, and they had tried their best to drag him to a brothel but failed. They had no choice but to come with him to browse around. Now that they saw Qin Mo making a fool of himself, they were both in a great mood.
