Jiang Lingyue reached out and pulled Lu Ye to walk outside.
"Come with me, I'll take you to choose a sword."
Lu Ye: "..."
A phrase inexplicably surfaced in his mind.
Women only hinder one's sword practice progress.
But a rich woman won't... she'll buy you a good sword.
Obviously, Jiang Lingyue was playing the role of the rich woman now.
In Cloud Leaf City, people came and went, bustling with activity.
This was the first time Lu Ye had come out since marrying into the Jiang Family.
Jiang Lingyue, familiar with the route, led Lu Ye to a secluded corner.
A rundown shop named "Divine Weapon Pavilion" appeared in Lu Ye's view.
Divine Weapon Pavilion?
Lu Ye hadn't expected that there would be a weapon shop with such a bold sign in Cloud Leaf City.
However, just looking from the outside, it was hard to see how this place had anything to do with "divine weapons".
When they arrived here, the usually lively Jiang Lingyue became cautious and softly reminded him.
"Master He's temper is a bit odd, be careful not to offend him."
Lu Ye glanced around indifferently and smiled lightly.
Odd temper?
At worst, we just won't buy anything.
To Lu Ye, a flower, a plant, a tree, or a wood could all become a sword if he wished.
Why insist on holding a sword?
Following Jiang Lingyue, they stepped into the Divine Weapon Pavilion shop.
A wave of heat hit them straight on.
The heat from the forging furnace inside constantly surged outward.
Jiang Lingyue walked up to a middle-aged man with a blank expression.
"Master He, I would like to pick a sword."
Upon hearing the voice, the middle-aged man, Master He, replied indifferently, "Oh, it's the little girl from the Jiang Family. The swords are on the left, take the person there yourself."
Master He didn't even glance at them, his attention fixated on a newly forged Profound Iron Sword in his hands.
Jiang Lingyue quickly thanked him, sticking out her tongue, "Thank you, Master He."
Then she tugged on Lu Ye's sleeve, leading him to the left side of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Lu Ye calmly scanned over the forged weapons.
After a moment, he seemed to understand why this place could be called the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
The weapons displayed here, aside from some ordinary swords and sabers, actually had real tiered magical artifacts!
This meant that the Divine Weapon Pavilion actually had a true artifact refiner.
In the Martial Arts Cultivation Realm, besides the esteemed alchemy masters, there also existed artifact refiners.
Mortal, Profound, Spiritual, and True Artifacts!
In the Condensing Origin Realm, since it is still the first realm of martial arts cultivation, ordinary weapons could be used.
However, once reached the Postnatal Realm, inner strength within the body becomes more explosive.
Infusing one's full inner strength, ordinary weapons may not last long before they break.
At this time, only true magical artifacts with tier inscriptions could fully meet the needs of Postnatal Realm martial artists.
It's no wonder that Jiang Lingyue, who seemed carefree on normal days, turned so cautious upon entering the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
In the Martial Arts Realm, people with special skills, such as alchemy masters, artifact refiners, and talisman makers, hold extremely high status.
Being able to refine genuine tiered magical artifacts makes one as esteemed as an Innate Powerhouse!
Lu Ye's gaze swept around, and most of the tiered magical artifacts displayed were Mortal Tier Lower Grade swords and sabers.
Nevertheless, these weapons themselves cost at least ten taels of silver at a minimum.
Just one weapon equaled several years of income for a regular family.
No wonder they say that martial arts cultivation costs a fortune. Wealth, Companions, Techniques, and Places, which one of them isn't an expensive resource?
"Have you found anything you like?" Jiang Lingyue whispered, "If you find something, just tell me, I'll splurge today."
Lu Ye was about to randomly pick one.
Suddenly, his gaze paused on a long sword that appeared somewhat worn.
Compared to the gleaming swords, this sword seemed unimpressive, looking quite ordinary at first glance.
Picking up this unassuming long sword, Lu Ye said, "I'll take this one."
Jiang Lingyue nodded and led Lu Ye back to Master He's side.
"Master He, we've chosen."
Master He turned around, saw the worn long sword in Lu Ye's hand, his eyes flickering momentarily before returning to normal.
"Ten taels of silver," Master He said gravely.
This price was normal among Mortal Tier Lower Grade magical artifacts.
Jiang Lingyue nodded, expecting this price.
She recalled that buying Cyan Moon cost her thirty taels of silver.
Once Jiang Lingyue completed the payment, Lu Ye smiled lightly, saying, "Thank you."
Startled, Master He glanced at Lu Ye, shook his head, and said, "No need to thank me, it's yours by fate."
Jiang Lingyue was suddenly confused. What secret code are these two talking about that she doesn't understand?
After leaving the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Jiang Lingyue whispered.
"Why did you choose this sword?"
Lu Ye was slightly curious, "Why, is there a problem with it?"
"Not really a problem, but it's been sitting there for almost a year without any takers," Jiang Lingyue said matter-of-factly, "And it looks so ugly. It seems obvious it wouldn't be good to use."
Lu Ye chuckled silently. A magical artifact that surpassed the Mortal Tier Lower Grade, entering the Mortal Tier Middle Grade, was left unnoticed at ten taels of silver.
No wonder when I thanked him earlier, Master He said it was destined for me.
The black long sword in Lu Ye's hand was clearly a Mortal Tier Middle Grade magical artifact!
Even among magical artifacts, it was still a lower grade Mortal Tier.
But it would typically require at least seventy to eighty taels of silver to purchase.
However, there should be a restriction placed on this plain-looking sword by Master He.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to discern its true tier.
Lu Ye discovered a slight anomaly through the sensing of his Star Sword Body.
Lu Ye unsheathed the sword, twirling it casually to form a sword flower.
"This sword is actually quite good."
Jiang Lingyue was suddenly dumbfounded while watching.
Not captivated by the long sword, but rather... by the sword flower effortlessly twirled by Lu Ye.
Even though it was a simple sword flower, it seemingly contained an indescribable elegance.
"It's an illusion, I must be seeing things," Jiang Lingyue muttered to herself.
Two months ago, Lu Ye couldn't even handle swordsmanship; it was she who taught him the Fine Rain Sword Technique.
How could he possibly be a master of Sword Dao!
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Brother-in-law, give it a name," Jiang Lingyue suggested.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye said calmly, "Let's call it Spirit Tide Sword."
Upon hearing the word "Ling," Jiang Lingyue's flawless face suddenly blushed slightly.
After returning to the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Lingyue didn't stay long and returned to her small courtyard.
Lu Ye took the newly acquired Spirit Tide Sword and returned to Zone C.
...
A few days later, he finally waited for the Myriad Dao Pavilion to recharge its energy.
Lu Ye immediately chose to draw a reward.
As early as two days ago, Lu Ye had already reached the Consummate Ninth Layer of the Condensing Origin.
However, the Heaven and Earth Source Qi in the Jiang Family's outer courtyard was thin, and he didn't dare fully unleash the Ancient Star Scripture to absorb it.
Without sufficient Source Qi to supplement, attempting to break through to the Postnatal Realm might lead to failure.
So, he had been waiting for the Myriad Dao Pavilion's new rewards.
Finally, as Lu Ye's thought emerged to draw, the Myriad Dao Pavilion instantly shone with a glow.
