Exchanging Weapons

The flying daggers numbered nine in total, each about 15 centimeters long. The blade had an S-shape with straight tips on both ends, appearing exceptionally sharp.

Cold Moon Flying Daggers

Quality: Spirit Artifact

Price: Merit Points (Half price for Rank 7 Demon Purifier)

"Spirit Artifact grade flying daggers?" Chen Lin stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on the nine daggers, unable to look away.

He knew that his current Famous Artifact grade sword could cut through the steel-like bodies of Martial Apprentice grade Demonic Beasts as easily as slicing through vegetables.

Wouldn't flying daggers, two grades higher than Famous Artifacts, be sharp enough to easily pierce even a Demon King's body?

Thinking of this, Chen Lin's heart grew hot.

Ever since awakening his Spirit Sense Power, he had been contemplating how to utilize it in combat.

After much thought, besides increasing attack power and speeding up movement, he felt that Artifact Control Attack was the most suitable combat method for his Spirit Sense Power.

He had originally considered Sword Control Attack, to take an enemy's head from a thousand miles away, but after trying it a few times, he decisively abandoned the idea.

One reason was that swords were too large, making them difficult for him to control. Another reason was that his current Spirit Sense Power wasn't strong enough to support controlling such heavy flying swords for extended periods.

Just as he thought his Spirit Sense Power needed further improvement before it could aid him in combat, the appearance of these nine flying daggers made him suddenly realize that perhaps he could replace his sword with flying daggers, potentially solving the problem of the sword being heavy and difficult to control.

The weight of flying daggers would undoubtedly be much lighter than a sword over a meter long. Furthermore, controlling them would not only be simpler but also offer more possibilities.

Even the price, compared to other Spirit Artifacts that often cost 50,000 or 80,000, was surprisingly low for these nine flying daggers, possibly due to their size. They only required a mere 10,000 Merit Points to acquire, making them an incredibly good deal.

With his decision made, Chen Lin reached out and picked up the tray holding the nine flying daggers.

"You want to buy the flying daggers?" He Yanjun, seeing Chen Lin's action, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yes!" Chen Lin nodded seriously.

"Flying daggers are generally exclusive weapons for Spirit Masters. Ordinary Martial Artists rarely use them, and even when they do, it's as a last resort. You're not a Spirit Master. I think choosing a Spirit Artifact grade defensive item right now would be much more useful to you than these flying daggers," He Yanjun advised with a frown.

"Senior He, my current sword is sufficient for my weapon needs. As for Famous Artifact grade defensive gear, I don't think it would offer much protection and would hinder my combat flexibility. It would be better to get a few extremely sharp Spirit Artifact grade flying daggers as a trump card!" Chen Lin had anticipated He Yanjun's advice and presented his well-thought-out excuse.

He Yanjun listened, pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement, saying, "Your consideration is indeed sound. Let's proceed according to your own wishes!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior He!" Chen Lin said with a smile.

"You can exchange for whatever you like; it's not my Merit Points being spent, so I don't feel any pain!" He Yanjun waved his hand and joked with a smile.

"Hehe!" Chen Lin chuckled in response.

Holding the exchanged nine flying daggers, Chen Lin walked out of the Weapon Forging Hall with He Yanjun, smiling.

At this time, some Martial Artists who had returned from the Demon Slayer Envoy assessment were already leaving the War God Temple one after another.

Only a few lingered because they still had some matters to attend to.

When Chen Lin and He Yanjun appeared before them, chatting and laughing, the Martial Artists who knew He Yanjun's temperament were so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped.

He Yanjun, a powerful expert in the mid-stage Martial Ancestor realm, had always been stern and unsmiling when facing them, a group of Martial Masters. Even when he occasionally joked with others, there was an unconscious air of authority.

He was nothing like he was now with Chen Lin, completely without pretense, as if they were old friends.

Ignoring the stunned Martial Artists, He Yanjun saw Chen Lin out of the War God Temple and then handed him a set of brass keys.

Chen Lin took the keys and looked at He Yanjun in confusion, asking, "Senior He, what is this?"

"From now on, we're on the same Monster Slaying Squad, so don't call me Senior He anymore. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother He. Old Brother Zhu Wei and some of the squad members are out on a mission. These are the keys he asked me to give you before he left."

"The house this key belongs to is located in Liuyun Alley, Xuanwu Ward, in the Inner City. It's right next to my place. From now on, we'll not only be brothers in the same squad but also neighbors living together. If you need help moving someday, you can call me anytime!"

"So, Brother He and Old Brother Zhu are in the same squad! That's great!" After hearing He Yanjun's explanation, Chen Lin's constant vigilance immediately eased.

No wonder he felt from the beginning that He Yanjun's attitude towards him was different from his attitude towards other Martial Artists. The root cause was here!

He had thought that no one would be good to others for no reason. If there were, besides parents and family, others would surely have ulterior motives.

After bidding farewell to He Yanjun, Chen Lin walked home with light steps.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Chen Lin saw his family busy inside and immediately said with a smile, "Father, Mother, little sister, I passed the Demon Slayer Envoy assessment! We can move to the Inner City in the next couple of days!"

"I knew Ah Lin could do it. Look, it's just as I said!" Chen Hongbo's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.

"I knew Big Brother could do it." Chen Lan jumped out from the medicinal garden, her face beaming with excitement.

"Ah Lin passing the Demon Slayer Envoy assessment is wonderful news. We must have a good meal tonight to celebrate. I'll go buy groceries now. Ah Lan, come with me." Song Qiaoyun stopped washing clothes, wiped her hands on her apron, and said with excitement.

That night, the Chen Lin family was completely immersed in unprecedented excitement and joy.

Looking at his family's happy faces, Chen Lin breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

After working so hard for so long, he had finally not let down the sacrifice of the previous owner of this body.

The next morning, the Chen Lin family began packing their belongings.

Although the courtyard in the Outer City was good, it was inferior to the Inner City in terms of both space and security.

During the previous Beast Tide attacks, their home had been nearly affected several times, causing the entire Chen family considerable fright.

Despite the deep emotional attachment Chen's father and mother had to the small courtyard they had lived in for over a decade, they had to suppress their inexplicable emotions and diligently pack their belongings so as not to worry their son or let their daughter be frightened again.

Because of Chen Lin's previous failure in the martial arts examination, his parents had already packed some of the less frequently used household items. Although they didn't have to move out then, they hadn't touched the packed luggage while organizing other rooms. By chance, this had saved them considerable effort for this move.
