Sword Transmission Hall

Dustless Sword: Forged primarily from Wind Erosion Adamantine Iron, inscribed with twelve spell formations, light and swift. Produced in Taotie City, three hundred Sword Coins.

Mountain Crushing Sword: Forged primarily from Earth Mother Refined Steel, inscribed with fourteen spell formations, heavy and sturdy. Produced by Sword-Casting Master Xuan Chengzi, five hundred Sword Coins.

Profound Yin Sword: Forged primarily from Millennial Cold Iron, inscribed with thirty-six spell formations, chilling and sharp. Producer unknown, eight hundred Sword Coins.

It felt as if an autumn wind had swept up fallen leaves, chilling one's heart.

Chu Liang stood before the counter selling swords in the Sword Transmission Hall, lost in thought.

He had never been to the Sword Transmission Hall before. It was indeed after seeing Fang Ting's Thunderclap Sword that the idea of buying one himself arose.

He had thought he had made a small fortune, but compared to the prices of these treasured swords, it was so insignificant. After seeing these prices, why did he suddenly feel...

The standard Mount Shu Flying Sword Bracelet was quite useful too.

It would be enough for many years.

Generally speaking, a Divine Intent Realm disciple who frequently undertook missions would find it difficult to earn even a hundred Sword Coins a month, and that was before deducting expenses for other magical artifacts, elixirs, talismans, and divine abilities...

How long would it take to afford a sword?

Just as he was about to turn and leave, the Attendant Disciple at the counter noticed him and enthusiastically came forward.

This was a tall female disciple, who smiled broadly and took Chu Liang's arm. "Junior Brother, are you looking to buy a flying sword that belongs solely to you?"

"Yes," Chu Liang nodded.

"Then which one has caught your eye?" the Attendant Disciple asked.

"I'm just looking around. I can't afford it," Chu Liang said calmly, not feeling embarrassed at all.

"Not necessarily, you know. Tell me your budget, and I, your Senior Sister, can help you look," the Attendant Disciple said with a smile.

"I only have fifty Sword Coins," Chu Liang replied. "But I see that the cheapest one costs three hundred Sword Coins..."

"Hmm..." The Attendant Disciple's expression was indeed troubled for a moment, but it quickly relaxed again. "It's no problem, haha. You've come at just the right time. Our Sword Transmission Hall has just launched a new installment payment plan."

"Installment payment?" Chu Liang blinked.

Well, I'll be.

Mount Shu had this kind of thing now?

"It means you can make a down payment of fifty Sword Coins, and pay the rest in monthly installments of ten Sword Coins, paying it off in fifty months. How about that, isn't it especially thoughtful?" the Attendant Disciple introduced.

Fifty down payment, two hundred and fifty Sword Coins short. Paying ten Sword Coins a month, fifty months would require paying five hundred Sword Coins... Chu Liang quickly calculated in his mind.

In other words, it was a four-year loan with double the interest...

Quite shady.

"It sounds quite tempting, but I think I'll pass," Chu Liang said with a slight smile. "I'll come back and take a look next time."

Forget it, he'd better go back and fight more monsters. Maybe they'd drop a flying sword.

"Oh, don't think it's too expensive. This is your first exclusive flying sword in your life, it's very significant, what's a little extra cost!" The Attendant Disciple was still trying to keep him.

But Chu Liang had already turned around.

His attitude was clear.

Just as he was about to leave, a small figure unexpectedly walked in, almost bumping into him.

"Oh." The person who came in was a pretty girl in a light green gauze dress. As soon as she saw Chu Liang, she immediately cried out in surprise, "Senior Brother Chu?"

"Junior Sister Xu?"

Chu Liang was also a little surprised to see her. This was none other than Junior Sister Xu Ziqing from Jade Sword Peak, with whom he had just completed a mission.

"To meet you here, what a coincidence," Xu Ziqing said with a smile, her eyes curving.

"Yes, are you also here to buy a flying sword?" Chu Liang asked gently.

"Yes! I succeeded on my first mission, and my brother said he would reward me with a flying sword and let me pick it out myself," Xu Ziqing said with a smile.

Hearing this, Chu Liang thought to himself, The rewards from the White Pagoda require me to work hard and fight monsters, but her brother's reward is so simple and direct.

"That's really great," he said sincerely.

"Hey, Senior Brother Chu, what sword did you buy?" Xu Ziqing asked again.

"I haven't bought one yet. The flying swords here are too expensive, and I don't have enough Sword Coins," Chu Liang answered truthfully.

"Huh?" The little girl tilted her head and suddenly said, "Then which one do you like? I'll give it to you."

"How can I accept that?" Chu Liang immediately waved his hand in refusal. "Flying swords are so valuable, how can I take one?"

Good heavens.

This little girl was truly generous.

A wise predecessor surnamed Lu from Shu Mountain once said, Women will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword... but a rich woman can get me a better sword.

The ancients truly did not deceive me.

"What does it matter? We're good friends," the little rich girl said, pulling him.

"No, I cannot accept a reward without merit." Chu Liang shook his head resolutely.

Small things like Qi Gathering Pills were fine to accept. But such an expensive flying sword, he absolutely could not accept it for free.

"Okay..." Xu Ziqing pouted, looking a little unhappy.

"Then Junior Sister Xu, take your time choosing. I'll head back now," Chu Liang said, bidding farewell.

"You still call me Junior Sister Xu. You said we're friends, so just call me Ziqing like they do," the little girl said again.

"Okay, Junior Sister Xu," Chu Liang readily agreed.

While the two were talking, another person came down from upstairs. Seeing Xu Ziqing, he immediately called out, "Junior Sister Ziqing!"

Turning to look, it was a thin young disciple with very high cheekbones and narrow eyes, wearing a scholar's robe, but without a hint of scholarly demeanor.

Behind him followed two fellow disciples in the same attire, looking like followers.

As soon as Xu Ziqing saw this person, her little brows immediately furrowed, but she still responded reluctantly, "Senior Brother Shang."

Although she was indifferent, she couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm.

Senior Brother Shang took a few steps and came before Xu Ziqing, smiling, "To meet you here is truly fate."

"Yes, are you also here to buy a flying sword?" Xu Ziqing replied while looking elsewhere.

"Heh!" Senior Brother Shang puffed out his chest. "The day before yesterday, I led a team to eliminate the Huali River Water Monster. My father said he'd reward me with a new flying sword and let me choose it myself."

"Not bad..." Xu Ziqing nodded expressionlessly, then seemed ready to leave.

Senior Brother Shang quickly stopped her and asked with a smile, "Junior Sister Ziqing, what sword did you buy?"

"I haven't bought one yet, I'm just looking." Xu Ziqing replied.

"Oh?" Senior Brother Shang clapped his hands. "Then which one do you like? I'll give it to you."

"How can I accept that?" Xu Ziqing frowned deeply and shook her head repeatedly. "Flying swords are so valuable, I wouldn't trouble Senior Brother Shang to spend so much."

"What does it matter? Aren't we... good friends?" Senior Brother Shang chuckled slyly.

"No! I cannot accept a reward without merit." Xu Ziqing had a look that clearly said it wasn't necessary.

"Alright..." Senior Brother Shang had no choice but to give up.

"Then, Senior Brother Shang, if there's nothing else, we'll be going!" Xu Ziqing didn't buy a sword either. She pulled Chu Liang and turned to leave.

Senior Brother Shang followed behind, still saying, "You still call me Senior Brother Shang, how distant. We're good friends, just call me Brother Ziliang."

"Got it, Senior Brother Shang!" Xu Ziqing threw out this sentence and had already walked far away with Chu Liang...

"Sigh..." Shang Ziliang sighed heavily. "You tell me, as a young talent as handsome, dashing, and graceful as I am, Junior Sister Ziqing always treats me with indifference. Is this reasonable?"

"Unreasonable!" "Absolutely unreasonable!"

The two followers behind him quickly replied.

"Then why is that?" Shang Ziliang looked up at the sky.

"Boss, is there a possibility... that Junior Sister Ziqing already has someone in her heart? That would explain her coldness towards you," said Follower A.

"Hmm?" Shang Ziliang frowned. "Is that true?"

"I think the person next to her is very suspicious," said Follower B. "Just now, the look in her eyes when she looked at that kid was clearly not right."

"Not only was the look in her eyes not right, but why do I smell a strange scent on both of them..." Follower A stammered, not daring to elaborate.

"Hmph..." Shang Ziliang pondered for a moment and said, "Go and investigate for me. What's that kid's name and which peak is he from? I want to see who dares to compete with me for Junior Sister Ziqing..."

Recently, I've been trying to write three chapters a day, and it feels alright. If I can adapt to this rhythm, then after the book is released, I can update three chapters a day. At that time, I'll set an update goal, hahaha, this is the peak of life.
