"How much is 'a little bit'?"

The white-haired youth and the old man with white hair and a youthful face looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle.

As everyone knows, swordsmen are people of status.

The way people roam the world is all about being carefree and spontaneous; they've done plenty of things that involve spending lavishly.

From the elders to the disciples, there was a prevailing atmosphere of extravagance.

As a sect of swordsmen, and without any other outputs such as alchemy or weapon crafting, Cloud-Crossing Sword City cannot be considered wealthy.

But that applies only to state-level powers.

Even if Li Mo moved the Clear Abyss Sect's treasury here, it wouldn't mean anything to them.

Sword City owed Li Mo a favor, and besides, although Li Mo had comprehended a divine skill, it wasn't Swordsmanship, so they couldn't make things difficult for him.

Li Mo coughed lightly and said:

"Both of you are esteemed elders, possessing noble Dharma Body and Sword Bone; naturally, you regard money as dirt."

"The first option is mainly to express my feelings, just a token."

He knows how to coax old men.

The white-haired youth straightened his chest. "That's right, how could we sword cultivators value gold and silver?"

This kid's got a good attitude.

Sword cultivators all enjoy dealing with people who are adept at social interaction.

The white-haired, youthful-looking old man stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "In your opinion, how much gold and silver would be a reasonable price to observe a sword mark?"

Li Mo then gestured with his fingers.

"Two thousand taels of gold?"

Li Mo shook his head.

"Twenty thousand taels?"

Little Li shook his head again.

Two hundred thousand taels?

The white-haired youth appeared calm and relaxed, but his heart was slightly shaken.

Does this kid own a mine?

Two hundred thousand taels of silver, in gold, is enough for the disciples of Sword City to live a carefree life in the martial world for a year.

However, Li Mo still shook his head.

Is it two hundred taels? That's just a token amount.

The white-haired youth shook his head slightly and asked again:

What about your second option?

"Forehead..."

Li Mo was about to state his offer, but since his senior had already asked for a second option, he had no choice but to say:

"The second option is to wait for the younger generation."

"I will record this once my strength has increased and I meet the conditions to fully unleash my divine skill."

"I am confident that I will deliver on my promise within three years."

The "Heaven-Overturning Earth-Covering Human Killing Hammer" requires more than just a certain level of cultivation from the user.

In other aspects, they also face conditions that are harsh on ordinary people.

Li Mo said solemnly, "If the two seniors have any concerns, we can set a three-year timeframe..."

The application for the three-year agreement failed.

No one doubts his talent in hammer fighting.

"I believe." ×3.

Of the four people, three did not hesitate.

Ice Block didn't speak, but her expression revealed what she was thinking.

Li Mo: "..."

This is the first time I've felt such complicated emotions because of trust.

"The second option is reasonable."

The old man thought for a moment, then asked:

"And the third one?"

"Thirdly, I left behind a complete Swordsmanship in Sword City."

"The Swordsmanship I used at the Sword Trial Assembly should be familiar to you two seniors; it is by no means inferior to divine skills."

Li Mo felt no pity whatsoever.

He was more than happy that the two elders would choose a third one.

"Is that the sword Swordsmanship that Sword Breaking Ten Thousand Laws and turn decay into wonder?"

Both Dharma Body straightened up.

"Yes." Li Mo nodded.

Seeing his serious expression and clear eyes, the two couldn't help but admire him in their hearts.

This kid said he wished that "every swordsman in the world could become Sword Immortal," which was truly a heartfelt statement.

This young man's magnanimity is more in line with the spirit of a chivalrous swordsman.

Cough...

Actually, Little Li was thinking was very simple.

Firstly, it fulfills the rules of Cloud-Crossing Sword City; secondly, there might be unexpected investment returns.

The Nine Swords of Dugu are extremely difficult, and those who can gain something from them must be extraordinary individuals.

The two Sword City Dharma Body did not hesitate.

After exchanging glances, the white-haired youth nodded and said:

"Then let's proceed with the third option."

"Are you sure you don't want to consider the first option, senior?"

Li Mo confirmed this again.

After all, that's an investment... and one that yields immediate results.

"For us sword cultivators, money is nothing but fleeting clouds."

"You're looking down on us."

The white-haired youth shook his head with a smile.

"Okay." Li Mo scratched his head.

Swordsmen roam the martial world, always ready to help those in need.

He had always been curious about where the swordsmen got their money.

Shaking his head, he took out his brush and ink and began to write the general outline of the "Nine Swords of Dugu".

After writing.

The two Dharma Body watched together, both showing expressions of amazement.

This Swordsmanship technique is extremely profound!

But it is also extremely difficult.

It's hard to imagine how Li Mo practiced it to this level...

"It is indeed no less than a divine skill."

"Hmm, if this Swordsmanship is brought to its highest level, it is not impossible to master a way of the sword."

Li Mo is honest.

Without hesitation, he left the complete outline of the Swordsmanship in Cloud-Crossing Sword City. It should be noted that the Swordsmanship left by Ying Bing and Jiang Chulong was only one or two moves of the divine skill.

A complete divine skill is enough to make even a powerful cultivator with Dharma Body envious and Profound Mastery Sage covet it.

"In that case, we've gotten a great deal out of you."

Is there anything else you need? Just say the word!

"I have some knowledge of painting and would like to make a copy of this unusual Spirit Stone. I would be grateful if you could grant my request."

Li Mo didn't hesitate; he had already planned this for a long time.

Both Dharma Body believed that fighting was all about appearances.

Is this even a big deal?

"Well, there's just one thing you need to be careful about."

"Um?"

"Never take out a hammer in front of the Spirit Stone."

"... good."

Print it again, then the Spirit Stone can't be flipped over.

The host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely, and everyone was quite satisfied.

When it was time to say goodbye.

An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, who was watching "The Nine Swords of Nine Swords of Dugu," casually asked:

"By the way, how much was that gesture you just made, taels?"

The white-haired youth also raised his head.

It wasn't two thousand taels, nor twenty thousand taels, nor two hundred thousand taels.

Xiao Li is such a generous kid, he can't possibly give only two hundred taels.

"Two?"

Li Mo stopped in his tracks as he reached the door.

He no longer uses this unit of measurement.

I was talking about two mountains of gold.

"... Young Master Duo?"

"Two mountains of gold, just... mountains the size of a mountain gate."

Li Mo gestured.

The three walked away.

The white-haired youth and the old man stood there in silence for a very long time.

They've even forgotten to study the Nine Swords of Dugu; for the moment, they're only curious about one thing.

This unit of measurement...

Who the hell taught you that?
