Chapter 377.
“This sister of mine, she’s spoiled by her family.”
After Zuo Xiaolan left, Zuo Xiaomo said to Wang Chen with a bitter smile, “Senior brother Wang, don’t take offense.”
He had introduced Zuo Xiaolan to Wang Duan, mainly because he wanted to expand his sister’s inner sect connections a bit.
Zuo Xiaolan’s talent was a cut above Zuo Xiaomo’s, and she had high hopes of being promoted to the inner sect.
However, unless one is an outstanding talent, it is not easy to pass the threshold for promotion from the outer sect to the inner sect.
At critical moments, an extra helping hand could be the difference between success and failure.
Cultivators like Wang Chen, who came from a remote area, had no background and power, and relied entirely on their own strength to enter the inner sect, were the most worthy targets in Zuo Xiaomo’s opinion.
Because those senior brothers with status and background, neither he nor Zuo Xiaolan could reach.
Unless one was willing to pay a huge price!
Unfortunately, Zuo Xiaomo’s hard work was not understood by his own sister.
Zuo Xiaolan obviously had other ideas, and was indifferent to Wang Chen’s attitude, accompanying him for a few moments before finding a reason to leave.
Zuo Xiaomo was also helpless and could only apologize to Wang Dust.
“No harm done.”
Wang Dust smiled and said, “Senior Brother Zuo, let’s continue chatting.”
He didn’t care about Zuo Xiaolan’s stay or go, it was better if he left instead, facilitating the conversation between the two.
Zuo Xiaomo was the son of the Zuo Clan in Wan Ling City, and although he belonged to a side branch, there was a Jindan Realist in his family.
Most importantly, Zuo Xiaomo’s family has a long history of learning and is a local native, Wang Chen just happened to use him to gain a deeper understanding of the situation inside and outside of the Western Sea Sect, so as not to take a detour in the process of implementing his own plans.
Zuo Xiaomo, on the other hand, out of a desire to make amends, knew everything about Wang Chuan’s questions.
The two chatted from the morning until the afternoon.
In the evening, Zuo Xiaomo hosted another banquet for Wang Duan at a nearby restaurant, and the relationship between the two parties instantly became much closer.
After the banquet, Wang Chen politely declined Zuo Xiaomo’s invitation to go to Ji Fang to seek pleasure and explored Wan Ling City alone.
The night in Wan Ling City was even more lively than the daytime, and the stores along the streets were lit up with thousands of obsidian lamps, illuminating the entire street and reflecting the pavilions lined up.
Pedestrians on the road rubbed shoulders and flowed endlessly, and as far as the eye could see, one cultivator was like a crucian carp crossing the river.
Wang dust in the middle of it, only feel like a fish in the water, have a kind of indescribable ease.
In the final analysis, he still likes to be lively.
After turning around in the city for half an hour, Wang Chen walked into a store.
The name of this store was simple, it was called “Sword Shop”, and all that was sold inside were sword weapons.
It included flying swords and magic swords.
“This superior, may I ask what you need?”
The shopkeeper of the sword store was a white-haired old man with a perfect cultivation level of practicing qi and a kind smile.
Wang Dust took out his own Wind Thunder Sword from his storage bag and inquired, “Can this Spirit Sword of mine be remodeled?”
The Wind and Thunder Sword was a trophy seized by Wang Chen when he had beheaded the Five Peaks Mountain Jindan Seed – Liu Yingxiu.
This second-rank upper-grade spirit sword had the special power of wind control and thunder condensation, and accompanied Wang Chen as he migrated from the Yunyang homeland to the Western Sea Spirit Region, decimating quite a few enemies.
It was just that the Wind and Thunder Sword’s quality was certainly outstanding, but it didn’t fit very well with Wang Chuan’s compatibility.
Wang Chen’s five elements were mainly fire, and he was not able to be completely comfortable with this spirit sword when fighting.
He had always wanted to remodel or upgrade the Wind and Thunder Sword, but had never found the right opportunity.
Now that it has finally stabilized, this idea has once again arisen.
This “sword store” wasn’t chosen randomly by Wang Chen, but he had asked Zuo Xiaomo, who had recommended this store, which was said to have the background of a Jindan refiner.
“Good sword.”
The sword store owner received the Wind Thunder Sword with both hands, his eyes showing appreciation.
He was obviously someone who liked swords and knew how to use them, and immediately held the sword in his left hand, and flexed his fingers on the spine of the sword with his right hand.
The Wind Thunder Sword immediately emitted a clear vibration, and the body of the sword faintly surfaced with a trace of thunder light.
After admiring it for a moment, the sword shopkeeper inquired, “This Wind Thunder Sword is from the hand of a famous master, and its grade has reached the upper level, may I ask how the superior would like to remodel it?”
Without thinking, Wang Chen replied, “My five elements are mainly fire.”
The sword shopkeeper immediately understood, “So that’s how it is.”
He thought for a moment and said, “The small store has newly obtained a Thunder Fire Essence, so as long as it is incorporated into this Wind and Thunder Sword and re-washed, it can increase its Thunder and Fire phases, and its grade can be raised to the top rank.”
“But after the washing and refining, it will no longer have the possibility of being upgraded.”
It really can work!
Wang Chen ignored the other party’s last two sentences and asked bluntly, “How many spirit stones are needed?”
The sword store owner stroked his white beard and smiled, “One thousand five hundred medium spirits.”
He added, “The small store does not bargain.”
Fifteen hundred Chinese Spirits?
The corner of Wang Dust’s eyes twitched.
According to the regular price comparison, one medium spirit was equivalent to one hundred lower spirits, and fifteen hundred medium spirits was one hundred and fifty thousand lower spirits.
But in reality, one hundred lower spirits could never be exchanged for one middle spirit.
The sword store shopkeeper observed his words and added, “If we add another three taels of Ding Fire Essence, then the fire properties of this spirit sword will be strengthened by another thirty percent, and the power of enchanting fire spells will at least double!”
“Three taels of Ding Fire Essence, just one thousand medium spirits.”
Wang Chen looked up at the plaque hanging on the shelf and made sure that the words “Sword Shop” were written on it.
Not “Card Bar”.
But he sensed the sadness in his balls.
He had budgeted three thousand dollars for the card bar, and added up to ninety-eight thousand dollars!
He had originally planned to spend a few tens of thousands of spirit stones to remodel the Wind Lightning Sword and improve his combat power.
Hoon points were needed to settle in the West Sea Sect’s inner gate, to cultivate, and to exchange merit laws and cultivation resources.
Hoon points could only be obtained by completing sect missions.
This meant that he would have to face fierce battles on a regular basis, and naturally, the stronger the weapons and equipment, the better.
He didn’t expect to fall headfirst into the middle of a deep pit!
“Yes!”
Wang Chen gritted his teeth and said, “Two thousand five hundred medium spirits, I won’t bargain, but you have to send me a flying sword for messaging.”
Flying sword messenger needs to use special flying sword, this kind of flying sword belongs to the professional courier tool, not much lethality, but the speed is fast and distance is far, a hundred times stronger than the letter crane.
West Sea Sect’s mountain gate is really too big, in the future with others contact letter crane speed is too slow, also not very safe.
Purchasing a flying sword is a necessity.
The sword shopkeeper pondered for a moment, nodded and said, “Good.”
Two thousand five hundred medium spirits was equivalent to three hundred thousand lower spirits according to the current spirit stone exchange rate in the market.
Wang Chen paid half of the deposit first.
One hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones.
To be honest, it was simply impossible not to be heartbroken.
To know that this half of the deposit was also worth more than the Wind Thunder Sword itself.
However, as the saying goes, you can’t spare the child, so for the sake of long-term consideration, Wang Dust still endured the pain and greatly bled once.
I just hope it will be worth it!
