The fourth floor of Baobingfang is a little dim. There are usually few people except for cleaning, and the cleaners must be stewards, probably because the weapons placed here are imitations handed down from ancient times and are precious.
Manager Li took Lin Xiao and Zhou Zheng to the fourth floor. Those waiters were not qualified to enter here.
"There are not many imitation weapons from ancient times." Manager Li explained: "Because it takes at least three months and sometimes half a year to forge an imitation weapon from ancient times. It may not guarantee 100% success. Furthermore, if you are qualified to forge it,
There are not many forging masters who imitate traditional weapons."
Lin Xiao listened quietly, but he had never heard of these.
"As for the hundred-refined weapons that are qualified to be passed down to the world, only the blacksmithing master can forge them." Manager Li sighed, but did not say more, but changed the topic: "We have three blacksmithing masters in Baobangfang.
There are only five imitations sold in Baobingfang every year at most."
The output is indeed a bit low, Lin Xiao secretly thought, but Lin Xiao also noticed what the other party said.
There were only five weapons obtained from the Bao Wenfang, instead of forging five weapons. The implication is that more than five imitation heirloom weapons are forged every year. There are probably eight or nine weapons, but some of them are used for other purposes.
"Our Baobingfang headquarter is located in Dongji County. We have branches in eight counties in Dongzhou, and we basically have branches in every county in major counties. The annual imitation weapons from ancient times are simply not enough to distribute, so we can only fight for them.
." Manager Li explained: "This time, we in Lin'an County have won the opportunity. This Xingliu Sword will be placed in Lin'an Baobingfang for a month. Whoever can pass the leaf-breaking challenge within a month will be eligible to purchase it.
Of course, the challenge of the leaf-breaking technique is actually limited and cannot exceed that of a true warrior. However, Brother Lin, you and Na Wenliang are both practicing internally and are not subject to restrictions. This was not stated clearly before."
Again, it is not easy to pierce nine leaves with one sword. It does require extremely high swordsmanship. Most true warrior swordsmen cannot do it. Only a few are qualified.
As for the warrior swordsman who has leveled up internally, it is even more difficult and even rarer.
It is no longer the same for martial arts masters above true warriors. The realm of swordsmanship has surpassed the body sword realm. It is easy to penetrate nine leaves with one sword. Like Lin Xiao, it is amazing to penetrate twelve leaves with one sword.
"Brother Lin, before you get the Xingliu Sword, I have two things to tell you. The first thing is that if you get the Xingliu Sword, our Baobingfang will register it and record it. In what year and month and by whom?
I will report this registration to the branch of the county and city, and the branch will send people to verify it to prevent someone from the branch from committing fraud." Manager Li said with a solemn expression: "Secondly, this is not top secret.
If others want to know, they only need to pay some money. Then someone may come looking for you to seize the Xingliu Sword. We at Baobingfang don't care about this, and the person who comes to look for you may be an insider.
If you practice, you may be a real martial artist, but generally you will not surpass a real martial artist. After all, a martial arts master has his own face."
"So, whether you want to buy the Xingliu Sword or not depends on your own wishes." Manager Li finally said with a smile.
"This is a 10,000-tael silver note." Lin Xiao took out the silver note directly and shook it in front of Manager Li. It made a splash like water.
Let’s get the sword first and then we’ll talk about the subsequent troubles.
"Please." Manager Li smiled immediately. After entering the fourth floor, he took out a key with a very complicated structure and inserted it into a wall. He slowly twisted it. It took dozens of seconds before a clicking sound could be heard.
, then, I saw Manager Li pushing hard, and the wall was slowly pushed open. It seemed extremely heavy. Behind the door was a secret room.
"This is the Tibetan Arms Room. It is a secret room specially built for Zangna to imitate the weapons handed down from ancient times. The surrounding area is made of fine steel. It is as thick as two palms side by side. Even if a true warrior wants to break through it and break in,
, is also extremely difficult." Manager Li explained with a smile, with a bit of pride in his words. This kind of skill is not small, and only a few forces can do it. After all, every Baobinfang has such a one.
There are dozens of secret rooms in total, and the expenditure of manpower, financial and material resources is staggering.
That thick stainless steel door can only be opened with a special key and unique skills.
The secret room is not big, less than ten square meters in length. There is a high platform in the center, with a double dragon shelf placed on it. On the shelf lies a sword quietly, hidden in a scabbard.
The sword was more than a meter long with its scabbard. Even in the dim light, Lin Xiao could still clearly see that the style of the scabbard was not complicated. On the contrary, it looked simple. This simplicity was not rough. On the contrary, it was very delicate. It was black.
The bottom is dotted with dots of golden light, like a picture of stars in the night sky imprinted on the scabbard, condensing an indescribably pleasing and profound feeling of starry sky.
The tandem and the hilt of the sword were connected together like a flying star, like a wave passing through the night sky, so delicate.
Manager Li smiled, grabbed the scabbard and lifted the sword, held the hilt with one hand, and suddenly drew the sword. He heard a clang, the sword immediately came out of the sheath, splitting the darkness, like a meteor streaking across the sky, a sudden sound
It was so clear, and the light of that moment was so dazzling.
"This sword is most effective in dim light and night. When the sword comes out, it looks like a meteor flying by, hence the name." Manager Li smiled and then handed the hilt of the sword to Lin Xiao with his backhand. Lin Xiao caught it without any courtesy.
.
The sword sank slightly when he took it into his hands. Lin Xiao immediately understood the weight of the sword, which must weigh at least twenty kilograms.
For an ordinary person to hold a sword, if the sword weighs five or six kilograms, it will be difficult to swing it freely. Only by practicing martial arts to strengthen the muscles and bones and increase the strength. For a master like Lin Xiao who has broken through the limit of external training to internal training, the second
Ten pounds is nothing.
With a slight lift of the wrist, there was a clear sound of the sword striking, melodious and sweet, without any impurities. Then it was stabbed out, like a meteor passing through the sky, causing wind and thunder to rise on the ground, and the sound was terrifying.
Lin Xiao sheathed the sword in front of him, and flicked the blade lightly with his fingers. The blade could not help but tremble slightly, emitting bursts of clear and clear sword sounds, like a piece of extremely beautiful music, as if it was played by a master of music.
When it comes out and falls in the ear, it is a kind of enjoyment.
"What a sword." Lin Xiao couldn't help but whisper, his eyes were shining, he wished he could play the sword, sing loudly, and conquer the world with his sword. However, he was uneducated in his previous life and could conquer the world with just a word of straw.
No, I, Lin Wuming, am still very cultured.
"It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, and when I take it off and cross my knees, I smile to the sky from across the sword. One sword shines coldly on nineteen continents..." Lin Xiao was reciting some poems that he had read in his previous life and still had some impressions on them, and suddenly his heart
I thought, maybe I should find some time to sort out the poems related to swords that I knew in my previous life, and combine them to set off the style.
To show your holiness in front of others, you must create a suitable atmosphere. There are thousands of words in the world, but only poetry can move people's hearts. It's nothing more than this.
"This sword belongs to me, and the 10,000 taels belong to you." Lin Xiao handed the 10,000 taels of silver notes to Manager Li, took the scabbard, sheathed the sword and inserted it into his right waist.
Carrying a sword on each side.
"Chenghui." Manager Li smiled and put away the 10,000 taels of silver notes.
"Brother Lin, I actually have a question. I don't know whether I should ask it or not?" Manager Li collected the 10,000 taels of silver notes and sorted out his thoughts before smiling.
"Then don't ask." Lin Xiao's words made the other party speechless and didn't know how to answer.
"What is your relationship with Fengyun Sword Sect?" Manager Li ignored it and asked directly.
"Feng Yun Sword Sect?" Lin Xiao was surprised and looked at Manager Li with confusion. Manager Li looked at Lin Xiao's face carefully and found that it didn't look like he was faking it. Did he really not know Fengyun Sword Sect?
"The sword on Brother Lin's left waist is the White Bird Sword, which is modeled after the famous sword White Phoenix Miten Sword?" Manager Li simply opened the skylight to speak openly while carefully observing Lin Xiao's reaction.
"What, you said that my sword is also an imitation of a legendary sword?" Lin Xiao's eyes widened and he stared at Manager Li with a look of shock: "Manager Li, are you reading that right? This is really an imitation of a famous sword from ancient times?
When I bought this sword from a down-and-out man, it cost me one hundred taels of silver. I had no one to pay the bill for me at that time, but I felt so distressed. If it was really an imitation of a sword handed down from ancient times, I would have made a lot of money.
Already."
As he said this, Lin Xiao became more and more excited.
"Maybe I saw it wrong." Manager Li couldn't see any flaws and could only respond like this.
"No, why don't you take a closer look." Lin Xiao pretended to pick up the White Bird Sword and hand it to the other party for a closer look. At the same time, he said with excitement: "Why isn't it a replica of a handed down sword? Maybe it's a famous handed down sword.
"
Manager Li couldn't help but roll his eyes, and secretly cursed in his heart: You are thinking about shit, a famous sword passed down from generation to generation, haha, wake up quickly, but he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I really made a mistake."
Lin Xiao just gave up, but his face was full of regret and heartache, as if he was wrong, and he was simply possessed by a drama queen. Seeing that the other party was unwilling to look at the White Bird Sword, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and secretly sighed: This world owes me an actor.
, owe me a little golden man.
"Guanshi Li, who is the Fengyun Sword Sect you are talking about?" Lin Xiao asked back. He really didn't know this, but he had a vague guess.
"The Fengyun Sword Sect is the third strongest man in our dynasty's Heavenly Ranking. He is a master of swordsmanship and the seventh generation Crane King of the Sky Crane style. His whereabouts are uncertain, as unpredictable as the wind and clouds." Manager Li smiled.
He continued to explain and put to rest any speculation in his mind that anyone from the Fengyun Sword Sect could be related to anyone. It was because he had thought too much.
In this world, there is actually no shortage of proud people, it's just a matter of how much knowledge they have.
Lin Xiao seemed a little surprised, and he was even more surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that the unreliable master had such a background.
Fengyun Sword Sect!
Ranked third on the Dynasty Ranking!
"How many places are there on the Dynasty Ranking?" Lin Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked immediately.
"The Dynasty Heavenly Ranking is also called the Grandmaster Ranking. All martial arts masters are eligible to be listed on it. Currently, there are 277 announced Heavenly Rankings." Manager Li said in a solemn tone: "Perhaps, there are still some unknowns.
Grandmasters are not listed among them, but there should not be many."
"Okay, the money and goods are clear, Brother Lin, the Wen family is a martial arts family in the county. There is a martial arts master in the family, and the ancestor of the Wen family is a martial arts master. I guess the three sons of the Wen family will not let it go.
"Guanshi Li reminded.
"At worst, I'll just give them the Xingliu Sword." Lin Xiao responded with a slight smile.
