Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 90 Purchase Before the Trial



Chapter 90 Purchase Before the Trial

“Pleated fine steel long sword, only for 100 gold. It cuts iron like mud is, an absolute great self-defense weapon!”

“Hey, everyone, take a look. The light body armor made by the masters from Hammering House. It is engraved with Primary Rank inscription, thus impervious to blades and spears. And you can also move freely while wearing it...”

“‘Qi-Drawing Pill’ is on sale. Even if ordinary people eat one, they may feel a sense of Qi. It’s crunchy and delicious. Come and get it!”

Roadside vendors were shouting loudly to attract customers.

Wang Xiaoqi had obviously been here many times and was familiar with it. He smiled and said, “Today is the gathering day in this market, so there’ll be many more people than usual. However, you can’t always buy quality goods from these vendors, since you’re likely to get counterfeits. Only those old shops can guarantee absolutely genuine goods!”

Ding Hao nodded.

Compared with such an orderly market, the black market at the back of the mountain was just a group of kids horsing around. It could not compare.

“What do you want to buy?” Ding Hao asked curiously.

“Well, we’ve got a list.” Zhang Fan pulled out a small note, which recorded the things they wanted, including self-defense armor, spare weapons, healing drugs, supplementary drugs to replenish Qi at critical moments, tents, daily necessities needed for camping in the wild, mosquito repellent drugs, etc.

“Wow, cool, you guys are going to travel!” Ding Hao burst out laughing.

However, they were going into the wild for the test. Thus preparations like were not too much at all.

“Get me a set of these as well.” Ding Hao made a decision soon.

Wang Xiaoqi was good at trading and very familiar with buying stuff. He chose some old shops with a history of years. Although their products were a little bit expensive, they were absolutely authentic. The three people bought stuff according to the list and walked around the market for about an hour. In the end, more than 10,000 taels of gold slipped away from them like flowing water.

“Ha, we’ve got all of them, except spare weapons and armor.” Zhang Fan was carrying a huge leather sack made of some monster’s skin. The sack looked like a small hill on his back. All of their purchases were in it. However, Zhang Fan found it not laborious at all, instead, he was laughing happily.

“I know that a shop that specializes in all kinds of weapons and armor. They have excellent workmanship and honest prices. Let’s go check out.” Wang Xiaoqi suggested.

Ding Hao lowered his head and thought for a moment, finally, he nodded. “Alright.”

While speaking, the three men came to the door of a shop named “Cauldron-forging Hall”.

Clangs of hitting iron, like music with rhythm, could be heard inside the shop. People were walking across the spacious and bright hall, picking various weapons. Most of the customers were nominal disciples from various academies. It seemed that everyone was preparing for the trial after three days.

When the three entered the shop, they saw all kinds of weapons hanging on the walls and pillars.

“Good sword!” Ding Hao randomly picked up a long sword of fine steel and flicked it. It turned out that the sword was highly flexible and let out a low clang. Moreover, the clang lingered for quite a while.

“Cauldron-forging Hall is a time-honored brand of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. It has a history of at least 500 years. Every weapon displayed here bears the stamp of Cauldron-forging Hall. It is definitely a top-quality product. It’s said that besides selling stuff, they also cooperate with our sect’s Sword-forging Hall. It looks like their casting masters really have high level craftsmanship!” Wang Xiaoqi accompanied Ding Hao and told him everything he knew.

“Well, the young mister is right!” A clear voice ran beside them, and then they saw a middle-aged man dressed in silk and satin robe. He looked elegant. He walked to the three of them and added smilingly, / “I am the shopkeeper of this small store, Gui Qulai. I appreciate you three young men choosing weapons in my little store. I didn’t expect that this young mister knows so much about our Cauldron-forging Hall.”

“Thank you very much.” The three people reciprocated their greetings.

This man’s name was Gui Qulai, which was really rare.

“I wonder what kind of weapons you need.” It was obvious that Wang Xiaoqi’s words made him delighted because he was so enthusiastic about the three as to personally act as their assistant.

“I need a light single-hand sword and a set of lightweight armor.” Wang Xiaoqi stated his request in detail.

The hunter youth Zhang Fan considered and answered, “I need a heavy sword over 100 kilograms, a set of strong armor, hmm... a hard bow, and 50 spike arrows!” He was born in a hunter family and was born with divine power. He liked to use heavy weapons and owned excellent archery. He had not been able to give full play to his skills since entering the sect. Thus he really hoped he could have a chance to use his strengths in this trial.

“Just a minute, gentlemen.” Gui Qulai asked two young female assistants over to help the two people choose.

Only then did Ding Hao find out that there were many young girls in the hall dressed in khaki palace gauze skirts. Their voices sounded like orioles and were all very pleasing to the ear. They had been constantly answering the guests’ inquiries and patiently recommending various weapons... It seems that merchants in this world were not stupid, because they also knew that beautiful women could stimulate men’s consumption desire.

“I wonder what you need.” Gui Qulai looked at Ding Hao smiling and asked very enthusiastically.

“I... I’ll just look around first.” Ding Hao didn’t know why this Cauldron-forging Hall’s shopkeeper was so enthusiastic about himself, besides, he had not decided what to buy yet.

“Well, you can make yourself at home. Let me know if you see something nice. For some unknown reason, I find something very pleasant in you. Well, I’ll give a discount of 30% on anything you want.” Gui Qulai was very smart. He not only showed his enthusiasm but also kept the right distance.

He smiled and then turned to greet other guests.

However, a beautiful girl who was appointed to accompany Ding Hao opened her rosy and attractive mouth. She could not possibly know why the cold shopkeeper act so generous to some nominal disciple today.

“This way, please.” The voluptuous and good-looking clerk led Ding Hao to watch all the swords and armor in the hall and corridor.

Land of Infinity was indeed a world where the strong were respected. The development of cold weapons far exceeded Ding Hao’s imagination. In addition to the 18 weapons in the memory of his past life, Ding Hao also saw a large number of weapons that he neither knew how to call nor how to use.

The commodities in Cauldron-forging Hall were generally divided into four categories: general weapon, exquisite weapon, protective armor equipment, and hidden weapon.

Under the recommendation of the beautiful girl named Linghu Yingying, Ding Hao bought a set of light cyan armor made of animal skin. The lightweight steel armor could protect wrists, arms, chest, waist, abdomen, crotch, knee joints, and feet.
