Chapter 113: Chapter 112: Eagle Swordsmen Painting (4th update, please subscribe and vote for monthly ticket)
Bai Ziyue’s face involuntarily revealed a trace of difficulty.
First, Bai Ziyue looked at the weapons and other items.
Among them, there were all kinds of knives, guns, swords, war hammers, long whips, and each one could be considered a fine weapon.
Especially a long whip decorated with a wooden box, the whole body seeming to be made of some fierce beast’s bones, segment by segment, just looking at it gave off a sense of heat.
"This is the dragon bone whip Manager Tan mentioned earlier. It’s made from the bones of an exotic beast, the four-legged dragon snake. It’s hard yet flexible and naturally carries the power of fire, making it very powerful.
Do you want to choose this one?"
Liu Dong couldn’t help but introduce it.
"Master, let me take a look first."
Bai Ziyue quickly shook his head.
This dragon bone whip was definitely a fine weapon, far more valuable than the saber in his hand, but for him, it was not suitable, so he naturally would not choose it.
Among the weapons, besides the dragon bone whip, there was also a Cyan Glow Short Sword, exuding a chilling cold, which was also a sharp weapon with attributes.
This kind of weapon was most suitable for Martial Artists who had cultivated Inner Strength. If its attribute matched the cultivator’s, it could often unleash combat power far beyond normal.
Bai Ziyue really wanted to pick a good saber to have by his side.
After all, the saber he held was actually obtained from the Traceless Saber Yuu Fang, which didn’t perfectly suit him.
However, the standard saber was even less satisfactory, so he could only temporarily choose this one.
In his master’s private collection, there were also some war sabers, but their quality was not that great, and he obviously didn’t want to waste this opportunity.
"There is also armor here, hard armor, vine armor, and a piece of snake scale armor, made from special bone pieces..."
Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but examine some of the armors next to the weapons.
For Martial Artists wandering Jianghu, having a piece of armor for protection indeed greatly enhanced their survivability.
Of these armors, Bai Ziyue could clearly see that the soft armor made from special bone pieces and the snake scale armor made from the Snake Demon’s scales had the most robust defense power.
When Bai Ziyue held the bone piece armor in his hand, it was quite light, and when he squeezed it, the hardness was astonishing.
As for the snake scale armor, Bai Ziyue had seen before that even a Peak of Inner Cultivation Realm Manager Level figure could barely break it, proving its effectiveness.
It’s definitely a good item.
He was immediately tempted.
However, he did not make a choice immediately and began to look at other treasures.
His master’s private collection had many treasures. Naturally, he wanted to see more to choose the best and most suitable for him.
Next, there were items that looked like antiques, including calligraphy and famous paintings, and even Martial Arts Secret Manuals...
Bai Ziyue was somewhat interested in these and couldn’t help but flip through them. He found that they were mostly Martial Arts techniques, and there was only one External Forging Technique, which was the Iron Cloth Shirt that he already mastered, and he lost interest immediately.
Skipping the secret manuals, he quickly saw on the shelf a zither, a jade flute, and a few pieces of ink stone... These items were all rare and fine pieces. For literati and scholars, they would be irresistible to admire.
Bai Ziyue, however, had little interest and skipped over them directly.
Bai Ziyue then saw some strange minerals, including the Profound Nether Iron Stone that Right Guardian Liu Yang mentioned earlier. A head-sized stone emitted a chilling aura even from two or three meters away.
He couldn’t help but weigh it in his hand, and his face changed as he said, "This stone must weigh at least five hundred pounds!"
Such density was astonishing.
Given his strength, he could easily lift it, but if refined into a weapon, its sheer weight would be tremendously lethal.
Moreover, this Profound Nether Iron Stone was a precious item with attributes, even esteemed by Immortal Cultivators, which was why Immortal Master Zhou Hee from the government couldn’t resist asking for it several times.
"Five hundred seventy-eight pounds, would you choose this Profound Nether Iron Stone as your reward this time?
But let me remind you, this Profound Nether Iron Stone is incredibly hard. Even if you take it, finding someone to smelt and forge it into a weapon would be difficult.
Not to mention, in some people’s eyes, this item is extremely precious, and I fear you won’t be able to keep it."
Liu Dong couldn’t help but advise.
Of course, his reluctance was one reason as well.
"I’ll keep looking."
Bai Ziyue shook his head again.
This item did tempt him.
But as his master said, it easily attracted covetous gazes, though he didn’t fear much for himself, as few in Qinghe Town posed a threat to him now.
Finding someone capable of smelting and forging the material into a weapon was indeed a problem.
"Spiritual materials? Spirit Medicine? There are quite a few with such spirituality."
Finally, Bai Ziyue looked towards a wooden shelf in the back, showing a trace of surprise in his eyes.
Among them were some very precious Spirit Medicines, like Reishi, ginseng, and bitter roots, all dried with special methods to retain their medicinal and spiritual properties.
There were also materials with spirituality, such as a large piece of Snake Bone from the Snake Demon Bai Ziyue had seen before.
Some were even taken out and placed in huge wine vats to be used as brewing materials.
"It seems that in master’s private vault, the Profound Nether Iron Stone is indeed the most precious. Next would be those two elemental weapons, the snake scale armor, and the bone armor..."
Bai Ziyue thought to himself, feeling somewhat disappointed. These items were not what he urgently desired.
The weapons were unsuitable, the Profound Nether Iron Stone needed to be smelted and forged by someone, and as for the snake scale armor and bone armor, he had a magic spirit light shield, which had much better effects than these two...
After some thought, Bai Ziyue decided to choose a piece of armor as his reward. Wearing it would at least provide some additional safety, wouldn’t it?
However, just as he turned around, his body suddenly shuddered as he looked at a painting on the wall.
This was a landscape painting in ink and wash, depicting a swordsman carrying a sword box, standing atop a mountain, gazing distantly at two giant eagles rushing towards him.
If it were an ordinary person seeing this painting, they might feel it was incredibly vivid, with a sense of a swordsman facing soaring eagles.
But Bai Ziyue was not an ordinary martial artist; he was also an immortal cultivator, with spiritual power far surpassing that of common martial artists.
He could clearly sense that there was a faint trace of spiritual energy in the painting.
Even though this trace of spiritual energy was extremely subtle and dim, making the entire painting seem somewhat blurry,
he understood one thing very well. There is a difference between something with spirituality and something with spiritual energy.
Things that contained spiritual energy were invariably extraordinary. This painting definitely hid some sort of secret. fгeewebnovёl.com
Even if it didn’t, Bai Ziyue was willing to take a gamble.
With this in mind, Bai Ziyue did not hesitate any longer. He walked straight up and took down the painting.
Suppressing the urge to channel his spiritual power into it to test its effect, Bai Ziyue looked at his master, Liu Dong.
"What’s the matter? Have you made your choice? Let me see what you picked."
Liu Dong said as he walked over. His face revealed a strange expression when he saw the painting in Bai Ziyue’s hands, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "You chose this painting?"
"That’s right. I’ve decided. I choose this painting as my reward."
Bai Ziyue said calmly.
"This painting is indeed of a very high level, capturing vividly the expressions of the swordsman and the eagles. Although I don’t know the painter’s name, it is not inferior to some famous paintings.
Every time I come into this private vault, I can’t help but admire it.
However, as good as this painting is, it has no benefit for your power growth.
Even if you chose a piece of armor or the Profound Nether Iron Stone, it would be better than this useless painting."
Liu Dong couldn’t help but persuade.
Though he was reluctant to give away the precious Profound Nether Iron Stone, he did not want his disciple to end up picking a useless painting.
He really had not expected that his disciple would be someone who appreciated elegance and art.
"Master, I’ve already decided. I choose this painting."
Seeing the odd look on his master’s face, Bai Ziyue knew Liu Dong was probably inwardly lamenting, thinking his disciple was somewhat frivolous and affectatious.
But Bai Ziyue didn’t mind. Although he couldn’t ascertain the painting’s function, he knew that its value was definitely not less than any item in his master’s private vault.
"Since you insist, very well. This is your choice. Just don’t regret it later."
Hearing this, Liu Dong had no choice but to nod reluctantly and agree.
Seeing this, Bai Ziyue rejoiced inwardly, but maintained a calm appearance, carefully rolling up the painting and wrapping it in an oilcloth.
Following his master out of the private vault, Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but look back at the contents inside one more time.
Among them, there were indeed some that he found very appealing.
Unfortunately, his master only allowed him to choose one item.
Having opted for the Eagle Swordsman Painting, he had to give up on the other ideas.
After bidding his master farewell, Bai Ziyue did not linger and headed straight to his residence.
Along the way, he encountered several Sunburst Gang disciples. When they saw him, they greeted him with considerable respect, including some managers at the Inner Cultivation Realm level.
In their eyes, although Bai Ziyue’s current strength might not yet match theirs, his future potential was unfathomable.
One thing was clear to them: any outstanding disciple of the Sunburst Gang would inevitably cultivate inner strength unless they met an untimely demise.
A martial artist with inner strength was at least equivalent to a Guardian-level figure in Qinghe Town.
Even if they couldn’t befriend him now, they certainly shouldn’t antagonize him and make an enemy.
Bai Ziyue understood this but could only accept it calmly.
Soon, he returned to his residence. He could hardly wait as he took out the painting.
