Chapter 64: Low-Grade Magic Weapon
"Low-grade spirit stones?" Tang Yifan shook his head and said, "I don't have any!" He looked at Yang Jiuli.
Yang Jiuli had five low-grade spirit stones, but he had never been willing to use them.
Liu Yuelong also looked at Yang Jiuli and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang, would you like one? If you have a magic weapon with you when you go to a celestial sect or aristocratic family, you won't be bullied by others."
"Who wouldn't want a magical artifact... but alas, I'm short of money!" Yang Jiuli said with a bitter smile and a wave of his hand.
"If you are short of spirit stones, my family can lend you some!" Liu Yuelong said, his gaze fixed on Qin Zhixue.
"I don't even know how strong my spiritual roots are yet, so I don't want to buy any magical artifacts. This Azure Water Sword is enough for me!" Qin Zhixue said.
As she spoke, she revealed the Azure Water Sword in her hand.
Qin Zhixue also didn't want to have too many social interactions with Liu Yuelong.
If we borrow spirit stones this time, it will be a great favor.
Furthermore, if she has good spiritual root aptitude and joins a sect, she can probably save up some spirit stones to buy a magic weapon.
Three months after entering the world of cultivation, she learned a great deal of information.
Qin Zhixue still had some confidence in her talent.
"What a pity!" Liu Yuelong sighed.
"I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Liu to help me procure a low-grade spirit sword!" Yang Jiuli thought for a moment and said, "However, you will need to advance me the spirit stones. I will raise them and repay you in a few days!"
Although he was only at the first level of Qi Refining, in the Great Wei Kingdom, he was considered to have entered the early stage of Grandmaster and possessed some strength.
Moreover, Yang Jiuli had long been perceptive and had also learned the unique skills of his ancestors, Yang Xiangru and Qin Jianmei.
If he possessed a low-grade magic sword, his combat power in a short period of time could rival that of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.
It's just that their magical power is too weak to sustain combat.
"Oh?" Liu Yuelong was taken aback at first, then said, "In that case, that works too!"
He wasn't very enthusiastic and agreed somewhat reluctantly.
They said they were borrowing spirit stones.
In reality, Liu Yuelong only wanted to lend it to Qin Zhixue.
But since the words had already been spoken, he could only grit his teeth and agree.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Brother Liu!" Yang Jiuli stood up, bowed to Liu Yuelong, and changed his form of address to "Brother Liu."
"It was nothing!" Liu Yuelong stood up, returned the greeting, and then asked, "I wonder what kind of magic sword Brother Yang Jiu would like?"
"Wood attribute is best... If not, ice attribute is also acceptable!" Yang Jiuli said.
"Alright!" Liu Yuelong said, "In that case, I'll go and make the arrangements now!" He bowed to Qin Zhixue and Tang Yifan and then took his leave.
"Take care!" Yang Jiuli bowed.
Liu Yuelong left somewhat dejectedly.
However, recalling the occasional glint in Qin Zhixue's eyes as she listened to his eloquent speech, he felt relieved.
He had borrowed spirit stones, and eventually he had to repay them. This time, he had done Yang Jiuli a favor, so he could be considered to have gained something.
After all, Yang Jiuli and Qin Zhixue had a very good relationship.
By doing Yang Jiuli a favor, he was also doing Qin Zhixue a favor.
No matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire way to make money.
Since a member of the Liu family had joined the Azure Flame Immortal Sect, they weren't afraid that Yang Jiuli would renege on his debt.
"Ninth Brother, is that low-grade magic weapon powerful?" Tang Yifan asked after Liu Yuelong left.
"I estimate that the power of a low-grade magic weapon is slightly better than Zhixue's Azure Water Sword, but it is still slightly inferior to the Autumn Water Sword left by Ancestor Jianmei, and it is not as good as the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Blade left by your ancestor," Yang Jiuli said after thinking for a moment.
The quality of the Autumn Water Sword and the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Blade is almost the same as that of a low-grade magic weapon.
However, both of them were imbued with the true essence of martial arts from the Grandmaster, cultivating a kind of "true essence of martial arts," which added a bit of power.
"I see!" Tang Yifan nodded slightly.
……
The following day, the ninth day of the first lunar month, was sunny.
Today, Yang Jiuli accompanied Lu Wenzheng to the lake to catch a few spirit fish.
They slaughtered another wild chicken from the mountains and celebrated with great fanfare.
There is no other reason.
Today is Yang Jiuli's 24th birthday.
Tang Yifan and Qin Zhixue both celebrated for him.
Old Master Lu also came and brought three low-grade spirit stones.
He seemed to know that Yang Jiuli wanted to borrow money to buy the magic sword, so he came to give him a gift.
Yang Jiuli declined several times.
Old Master Lu only knew that the prescription Yang Jiuli had given him last time was quite valuable, and in fact, the Lu family owed him a great deal.
Tell him not to refuse.
After spending three months together, Lu Bingzhi gained some understanding of the three people's cultivation practices.
Knowing that Qin Zhixue and Yang Jiuli are destined for success, I also want to take this opportunity to help them out and build a good relationship.
Yang Jiuli didn't stand on ceremony, and finally thanked him and accepted the gift.
At night, Yang Jiuli, Tang Yifan, and Qin Zhixue leaped onto the rooftop, gazing at the crescent moon in the sky with a touch of melancholy.
Being born in a foreign land, having a few old friends to keep you company is some comfort.
Yang Jiuli still felt a pang of longing whenever he thought of his father from the Great Wei Dynasty.
Having chosen this path, he had no reason to regret it and could only persevere.
Qin Zhixue and Tang Yifan also miss their families, but they also have their own beliefs.
Qin Zhixue, in particular, is a woman with her own opinions and ambitions, who also wants to forge a different path.
As for Tang Yifan, he was somewhat lost when he first arrived here.
But ever since he successfully absorbed the Qi, he has been filled with longing and wanted to see a corner of the cultivation world.
His only worry was that his spiritual roots were too weak to be accepted into a prestigious immortal sect.
Yang Jiuli told Tang Yifan to relax, saying that there are countless paths to take, and as long as one perseveres, there will eventually be an opportunity to go further.
Tang Yifan nodded slightly, having finally calmed down.
……
Three days later, Liu Yuelong came to visit, bringing a sword with him.
This sword gleamed with a cold, shimmering light, reflecting a bluish glow.
Yang Jiuli took the sword, drew it from its sheath, stroked it lightly, and then flicked his finger, producing a series of sword-like sounds.
"What a fine sword!" Yang Jiuli exclaimed.
This sword is of good quality, almost reaching the mid-grade of the first tier!
Liu Yuelong, however, did not cheat him.
"It's really nice!" Tang Yifan and Qin Zhixue, who were standing next to each other, nodded slightly, thinking that they should also get one in the future.
"This sword is called Qingxia, a first-grade low-rank sword... Don't rush to return the eight low-rank spirit stones," Liu Yuelong said with a smile.
"Hehe, that won't be necessary!" Yang Jiuli smiled, took out a cloth bag, and handed it to Liu Yuelong.
Liu Yuelong took the bag and looked at it with surprise. "Eight low-grade spirit stones?" He looked at Yang Jiuli in disbelief.
Eight low-grade spirit stones.
Even within the Liu family, this was a huge sum of money.
Liu Yuelong also couldn't produce it.
The reason he was able to lend money to Yang Jiuli to purchase a low-grade magic artifact was entirely to win over Qin Zhixue.
Qin Zhixue is young and beautiful, and her talent for cultivation is also rare.
It's not bad to be able to form a good relationship with a genius.
For these lower-class families to rise in status, they not only have to cultivate their own prodigies, but they also have to rack their brains to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.
It's just that the powerful and wealthy find it difficult to curry favor with them.
Now that a genius is right in front of them, it is also an opportunity, and the Liu family naturally wants to make friends with him.
Now that the spirit stone was right in front of him, Liu Yuelong frowned.
The longer a favor is owed, the more valuable it becomes.
It's only been a few days and you've already paid it back?
"What?" Tang Yifan looked at Liu Yuelong in surprise.
