That night, when it was still early, Jiang Yun was waiting at the door of Uncle Fu's room. After a long time, Uncle Fu came over after finishing his work.
"This is for you. This is my most valuable possession. Also, you'd better buy a magic weapon. I see that your meat business has been doing well these days."
Uncle Fu handed a booklet to Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun opened it and saw three big characters written on it: "Sword Controlling Technique"
"Wow! Uncle Fu, this is amazing." Jiang Yun had long coveted the sword-controlling technique. However, it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it.
"Impressive, isn't it? It's a pity you can't learn this. If you want to practice sword control, you must first learn object control. This is a requirement for learning some advanced spells. Well, this is it."
After Uncle Fu finished speaking, he handed another book to Jiang Yun. This time it was about the art of controlling objects.
"You are just a young monk in the early stage. The sword-controlling technique is too profound for you. This is just right."
"Uncle Fu, you are amazing. You can find such powerful spells." Jiang Yun held the two spell books in his hands and couldn't let go. He had heard of the name of sword-controlling technique more than once.
"This is what the young lady asked me to give you. She told me to tell you to be careful and if things don't work out, go back to your hometown for a while to avoid the limelight."
"This..." Jiang Yun didn't know what to say. Could it be that he didn't know the young lady the other person was talking about?
Seeing that Jiang Yun didn't know what to say, Uncle Fu sighed and continued:
"Don't be angry with her. It's been so long. If it weren't for her, how could you have become an immortal cultivator? Go out more often when you have the chance."
"Okay, I understand, Uncle Fu," Jiang Yun said with a heavy look. He didn't know what happened between the two of them anyway, so he just pretended to be deep. Then he asked:
"What did the Demon Hunting Association say?"
"I just talked to the people from the Monster Hunting Association. Three months later, at the end of the year, you and Han Ziwen will settle the matter on the fighting stage in the market town."
"Three months later?" Jiang Yun looked at the 16 time points on his system. Three months later, that would be 120. Adding his own hard work, there was a lot of room for improvement.
Over the next few days, Jiang Yun diligently cultivated at night and set up a meat stall during the day. Because his braised meat tasted delicious and was a specialty of his shop, Jiang Yun was able to earn over forty spirit stones daily. Over five days, Jiang Yun had already made a small profit of over two hundred spirit stones.
"Time to buy a magical weapon," Jiang Yun thought, thinking about how he had been practicing the art of controlling objects at home these past few days and had already reached the entry level. A low-grade magical weapon cost around 100 spirit stones, so he could definitely afford a decent one.
The Artifact Pavilion is the largest place in Ziyunfang City that sells magical instruments. It's said that it was opened and refined by Ziyunfang's own instrument refiners. Jiang Yun's first stop must have been here.
"Please come in, fellow Daoist." The leading servant enthusiastically led Jiang Yun into the shop. Jiang Yun used his spiritual vision to see that this person was also a cultivator in the early stages of Qi Refining. He just didn't know what level he was at.
"I want to buy a sword-like magical weapon," Jiang Yun said. This would lay the foundation for his future sword-controlling skills.
"Fellow Daoist, you've arrived just in time. Our Master Jie has just forged a few excellent sword-like magical instruments. Please sit down and wait for a moment. I'll be right back."
Jiang Yun sat in the guest seat and watched as shop assistants led customers into the shop to choose and buy items. The magical instruments here were all placed in transparent cabinets. If a customer took a fancy to an item, the shop assistant would personally take it down for inspection.
While Jiang Yun was looking around, the shop assistant who was guiding Jiang Yun came over with three long sword boxes in his hands.
"Fellow Daoist, please look! These three swords are the only sword-type magical weapons in the shop. The first is the Qingfeng Sword, a low-grade magical weapon, weighing three pounds, seven ounces, and five cents. Its blade is thin and narrow, making it best suited for agile swordsmanship. 115 pieces of low-level spiritual power. The second is the Taihe Golden Sword, a low-grade magical weapon. Forged entirely from sharp gold, it weighs seventy-two pounds, nine ounces. It's suited for heavy swordsmanship. 130 pieces of low-level spiritual power. The third is the Baiguang Sword, a low-grade magical weapon with an extremely thin and compact blade, weighing one pound and one ounce, making it best suited for controlling objects. 125 pieces of low-level spiritual power.
After the clerk finished his introduction, he waited for Jiang Yun to make a decision. Jiang Yun immediately fell in love with the White Light Sword. It was completely snow-white, and crucially, it was extremely small, but the length was no different from that of a normal sword. It was a good sword suitable for controlling objects.
"This is the white lightsaber. Are there any other types of magical weapons for sale here, such as defensive ones?"
Jiang Yun calculated that he still had more than a hundred spirit stones, and wondered if he could buy a defensive magic weapon.
"Fellow Daoist, defensive magic weapons are relatively rare and generally cost about 30% more than ordinary ones. If you need them, I can get them for you."
After the waiter finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yun and told Jiang Yun that this was not cheap.
"Well, is there any under 150 yuan?" Jiang Yun quoted a price, but he didn't feel insulted, because he really didn't have that many spirit stones.
"Yes, I have one. It's a shield-like magical weapon. Please wait a moment, fellow Taoist. Have some tea first. I'll be right back."
After Jiang Yun took a few sips of tea, the clerk in the artifact pavilion came over with a jade box.
"Please take a look, fellow Daoist, this is the Elephant Turtle Shield. It's made from the shell of a Level 1 demon beast, the Elephant Turtle. The price is exactly 150 Ling."
Jiang Yun picked up the tortoise shield and felt its heft. With a slight input of magic power, the shield in his hand suddenly grew larger and blocked in front of him.
At this rate of mana loss, Jiang Yun would be running out of mana in a quarter of an hour at most.
"Very good. I want both this and the white lightsaber. I want two at a time. It's cheaper."
Jiang Yun habitually began to bargain. The less spirit stone, the better.
"Well, this has never happened before in our store. So, I'll give you a discount of 5 spirit stones on top of my commission, no less."
The clerk thought about it and decided that since he could sell two items at a time, it would be fine for him to take a lower commission.
"Okay, thank you, deal." Jiang Yun took out the spirit stones on his body and began to count them one by one. The clerk was a little stunned. He felt something was wrong just now. It turned out that this person didn't have a storage bag.
"Count them." Jiang Yun handed the spirit stones to the clerk and said:
"No need, I saw it clearly when you counted it just now." The clerk took the spirit stone and couldn't help but said to Jiang Yun,
"Why don't you take a look at our storage bags? One side only needs 10 hits of spirit."
“Can I pick one up?”
"cannot."
"It's all spent, all spent." Jiang Yun left the Item Pavilion with a storage bag on him, and the result was that all the spirit stones on him were spent.
After spending a few spirit stones on the two instruments, Jiang Yun finally used his remaining seven spirit stones to buy a small, square-shaped bag, the smallest of the bunch.
"Oh, money really doesn't last long." Jiang Yun, who has lived two lives, felt deeply touched.
He didn't delay any longer and couldn't wait to go back and try out the new magic weapon.
