Chapter 9

  • The Divine Weapon Pavilion was the place where Fenghuo City bought weapons. It contained not only ordinary weapons used by common people but also spiritual weapons used by warriors. Spirit weapons were made of precious materials, extremely sharp, and could cut iron like clay. They even increased the combat power of warriors.
  • Just like the long sword left by Lu Ming's father—the one Lu Chuan had taken. That had been a spiritual weapon.
  • Spiritual weapons were mainly divided into nine levels, each divided into low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade.
  • This time, Lu Ming wanted to buy a spiritual weapon to practice his sword skills.
  • Lu Ming and Qiu Yue walked into the Divine Weapon Pavilion together. Inside, two rows of young and beautiful women stood in the pavilion, the female clerks who received customers. But when Lu Ming and Qiu Yue walked in, the clerks all frowned, and none of them came forward to greet them.
  • Lu Ming and Qiu Yue were not well-dressed. Lu Ming wore simple coarse clothes, and Qiu Yue wore a maid's uniform. These clerks were professionals—they could tell at a glance that these were the kind of customers without money.
  • Naturally, no one wanted to receive them.
  • Lu Ming frowned slightly, ignored it, and looked around by himself. In the Divine Weapon Pavilion, most of the weapons were ordinary. There were very few first-level spiritual weapons, and most of them were only first-level low-grade. There were very few middle-grade spiritual weapons. Lu Ming turned around and saw only three middle-grade spiritual weapons.
  • He didn't like any of them. If he was going to buy one, he planned to buy a better one.
  • "Master, do you need any help? I can recommend something to you." At this time, a timid voice sounded.
  • Lu Ming turned around and saw a young female clerk with a round face and a slightly red complexion. She looked a little embarrassed when she looked at him.
  • She was a new clerk in this weapons shop. She was relatively shy and had poor performance. She had just seen that no one greeted Lu Ming, so she had come up boldly.
  • "This girl has no results this month. She's really anxious. What kind of people does she accept? From my perspective, which has been in this industry for many years, this kid can buy an iron sword worth ten taels of silver. That would be considered good."
  • "Isn't that right? Why don't I just stand here and rest rather than receive such a country bumpkin?" Not far away, several female clerks looked at Lu Ming and whispered.
  • Although the voice was not loud, every word still reached the ears of Lu Ming, Qiu Yue, and the others.
  • "Master..." Qiu Yue pulled Lu Ming's sleeve.
  • "It's okay!" Lu Ming smiled at Qiu Yue. These were just ordinary people, and he was too lazy to see them.
  • Just as he was about to ask the round-faced female clerk if she had any more advanced spiritual weapons, he was interrupted by a discordant voice.
  • "Hey, isn't this Young Master Lu Ming? What kind of wind brought you here?" Two young men, a man and a woman, walked in.
  • The man had a pockmarked face, was short in stature, and wore a gorgeous silver robe. The woman was quite pretty, but her nostrils were turned upward, looking arrogant.
  • "Lu Bing, Lu Mei." Lu Ming's expression changed.
  • The Lu family was divided into one main branch and seven branches, with a total of eight veins. Lu Ming knew both of these two people. One was the son of the leader of the fifth branch, and the other was the daughter of the leader of the sixth branch.
  • The one who had spoken was Lu Bing.
  • Lu Bing looked at Lu Ming with some contempt. "What? Lu Ming, I heard that your bloodline awakening failed and your true energy cannot be condensed, so you also imitate others to buy weapons? Do you want to buy a kitchen knife and go back to kill chickens? Hahaha!"
  • "Lu Mazi, get out of the way. You're in the way." Lu Ming replied calmly.
  • "Lu Ming, you... what did you say?" Lu Bing hated people calling him Mazi. Now that Lu Ming had actually called him that in front of so many young beauties—especially Lu Mei—he immediately became furious.
  • "Wang Mazi, I told you to get out of the way!" Lu Ming shouted coldly.
  • "Lu Ming, you are looking for death. Do you still think that you are the young master of the main lineage? Once the clan meeting is over and Miss Yao'er ascends to the position of head of the family, you will be nothing. Do you understand? Do you still dare to offend me? Come on, come and flatter me now, kowtow to me and apologize, and I will reward you with a bowl of rice." Lu Bing barked like a wild dog that had been stabbed.
  • But Lu Ming just looked at him coldly, as if he were an idiot.
  • "Lu Ming, just wait for me." A cold look flashed in Lu Bing's eyes. He took a deep breath to calm down, then looked at Lu Ming mockingly. "Lu Ming, are you convinced by what I said? You are here to buy a kitchen knife to kill chickens. What good things can you afford?"
  • "Master Lu Bing, you are welcome to come. If you need anything, just ask." Several female shop assistants had already gathered in front of Lu Bing, with flattering smiles on their faces.
  • "Hey-hey!" Seeing the round-faced female clerk next to Lu Ming, Lu Bing sneered proudly and said loudly, "Today is my sister Lu Mei's birthday. I want to buy her a spirit weapon as a gift. Recommend some good spiritual weapons." He deliberately emphasized the words "spiritual weapon" very strongly.
  • "Master Lu Bing wants to buy spiritual weapons!" The female shop assistants' eyes immediately lit up, and they started recommending one after another.
  • "Master Lu Bing, what do you think of this green pine sword? It's a first-class low-grade spiritual weapon, containing pine patterns..."
  • "This silver ice sword is also very good..."
  • But after Lu Mei looked at those spiritual weapons, she shook her head, obviously disdainful of them.
  • Lu Bing gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't fool me with those first-level low-grade spiritual soldiers. Take out your first-level middle-grade spiritual soldiers."
  • "Master Lu Bing, do you want to buy a first-class mid-level spiritual weapon?" Upon hearing this, the female clerks' eyes shone brightly, their bodies trembling with excitement. They surrounded Lu Bing like chicken blood.
  • A mid-grade spiritual weapon was worth at least eight hundred taels of silver, and their commission would be quite large if it was sold. Is it strange for them not to be excited?
  • Next to Lu Ming, the round-faced female clerk looked at him with envy. She was shy by nature and couldn't compete with the other clerks.
  • After some recommendations, Lu Bing chose a first-level mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Qingfeng Sword. It was worth one thousand taels of silver.
  • Lu Bing paid the bills with some heartache—two bills of five hundred taels each—deliberately waved them in his hand, and looked at Lu Ming with a look of contempt on his face.
  • "What? Lu Ming, you haven't chosen the weapon you want to buy? Are the weapons here too low-level for you to like? Hahaha!" Lu Bing laughed arrogantly.
  • "Of course, brother Lu Bing. He is the eldest young master of the main lineage. How could he like this middle-grade spiritual weapon?" Lu Mei chuckled, holding the Qingfeng Sword, looking left and right, unable to put it down.
  • "How do you know? I really think the weapons here are too low-level." Suddenly, Lu Ming pretended to be surprised. Then he said to the round-faced female clerk, "Girl, do you have a first-class high-grade spiritual weapon here? Show it to me."
  • "What?" The whole place suddenly fell silent. The round-faced female clerk, Qiu Yue, the other female clerks, Lu Bing, and Lu Mei all looked at Lu Ming blankly.
  • "What? Lu Ming, do you want to buy a first-class high-grade spiritual weapon? Do you know how much money a first-class high-grade spiritual weapon costs? This is not just talk. Can you afford it?" Lu Bing's eyes flashed, and he shouted at Lu Ming.
  • The price of a first-grade high-grade spiritual weapon was at least several times that of a first-grade mid-grade spiritual weapon. He wouldn't believe that Lu Ming could afford it.
  • "Sir, are you saying you want to buy a first-class high-grade spiritual weapon?" the round-faced female clerk also asked in disbelief.
  • "What? Don't you have a first-class high-grade spiritual weapon here? Are you still afraid that I don't have enough silver?" Lu Ming smiled and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms. They were all in denominations of five hundred taels each, and there were a dozen of them.
  • "You... how do you have so many banknotes?" Lu Bing's eyes nearly popped out.
  • Lu Mei and several other female clerks almost had their eyes popped out. Qiu Yue also opened her mouth and looked at Lu Ming blankly.
  • "It seems that the young master really got an adventure!" Qiu Yue thought.
