"Is this... a Spirit Tool?" Chen Fan was somewhat surprised. Someone had actually made a sword sheath to the level of a Spirit Tool—it was rather unimaginable.
"Indeed. This is the proud work of our master refiner. This sword sheath was originally a half-finished Spirit Tool, a reward bestowed by the Heavenly Court. After our master refiner's meticulous modifications, it finally became a true Spirit Tool." A trace of pride flashed through the middle-aged man's eyes.
Yet Chen Fan remained unmoved, calmly studying the sword sheath. He felt that the rune patterns etched across its surface were the true key, carrying an abstruse and mysterious air.
Seeing that Chen Fan did not seem particularly tempted, the middle-aged man continued, "Little friend, this item is no trifling matter to a sword cultivator. Any sword of ordinary iron, once returned to this sheath, will possess power comparable to a Spirit Tool when drawn again."
"If that is so, why not simply forge a sharp sword at the level of a Spirit Tool?" Chen Fan frowned slightly. If that was all the sheath could do, it truly seemed rather useless.
At those words, the middle-aged man revealed a meaningful smile. "Of course, this sword sheath has another unique quality—its true value lies there. We have tested it before. After drawing the sword, there is a certain chance that the blade's power will become comparable to that of a Magic Tool. However, this item does contain many uncertain factors, so we have priced it at two thousand Spirit Stones. Is little friend interested?"
Chen Fan fell silent for a moment. To his true body, this sword sheath was practically dispensable. With the Violet-Gold Blazing Heaven Sword Qi wrapped around it, his sword was already immensely powerful and needed no enhancement from any external item.
