Chapter 271 - A Private Visit
Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop.
Su Zimo walked out of his room and squinted his eyes at the noonday sun high in the sky. The sleepiness in his eyes gradually dissipated.
Shuddering momentarily, a series of crackling sounds came from within his body. It was as though he was frying beans as his tendons and bones sounded together while his blood churned like a tsunami!
Swoosh!
When Su Zimo opened his mouth, he breathed out a long stream of white gas that was solid like a sword. The stream shot out for a few meters before dissipating gradually.
In the folklore of mortals, immortals could soar through the skies and spit out flying swords, slicing the heads of their enemies from thousands of miles away!
The scene that had just happened was extremely similar to the flying swords that were spat out in the folklores. If any mortals who did not know about cultivation were to catch sight of it, they would be shocked to death.
In reality, that stream of white gas was no flying sword.
The two men outside exchanged glances speechlessly.
The yellow-robed man smiled. “Young lady, I came here today due to the reputation of Mr. Mo. I wish to see him and ask for a favor to refine a supreme-grade spirit weapon…”
“No.”
Before the yellow-robed man could finish, he was interrupted by Nian Qi.
Nian Qi continued, “Our young master only refines a single supreme-grade spirit weapon every month and we’ll sell that offer through an auction at the start of every month. If you wish to customize a supreme-grade spirit weapon, you’ll have to come for the auction next month.”
The yellow-robed man was stunned for a moment.
For such a long time, there had been no one dared to interrupt him or turn him away.
The scholarly man behind him showed a look of anger. Frowning slightly, he said in a seemingly reprimanding tone, “Girl, you…”
“Hmm?”
The yellow-robed man glanced sideways slightly and stopped the scholarly man.
Turning back, the yellow-robed man smiled. “Young lady, tell me. What’s the highest bid for a supreme-grade spirit weapon at this month’s auction?”
Without thinking, Nian Qi blurted out, “1,200,000 superior-grade spirit stones.”
“Alright.”
The yellow-robed man nodded. “I’ll offer twice that amount for Mr. Mo to help me refine a supreme-grade spirit weapon personally!”
“2,400,000!”
Nian Qi was shocked.
That was a frightening amount and most Golden Cores would not be able to produce it.
Unable to make up her mind, Nian Qi turned back to Su Zimo who was in the courtyard instinctively.
Su Zimo had a calm expression as he sipped his tea slowly. Placing the teacup down, he nodded. “Let them in.”
Nian Qi gave way and the two of them entered Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop.
The moment they entered, the yellow-robed man’s gaze landed on Su Zimo with a look of interest as he nodded in acknowledgment.
“Sit.”
Su Zimo did not stand up and pointed to the stone bench opposite him with that single comment.
The yellow-robed man sat down while the scholarly man stood at the side, surveying the surroundings. His gaze lingered on Night Spirit for a brief moment and lit up.
Su Zimo looked at the yellow-robed man and asked in a seemingly casual manner, “How may I address you, fellow Daoist?”
“My surname is Zhou,” The yellow-robed man’s expression did not change.
Su Zimo nodded, not saying anything.
With a faint smile, the yellow-robed man asked, “I’ve heard a lot about Mr. Mo. I wonder what sect you’re from and who your master is for your splendid weapon refinement skills.”
Raising his head, Su Zimo played with the teacup in his hands and looked at the yellow-robed man with a fake smile, asking instead, “Weren’t you here to refine weapons, fellow Daoist? What’s your motive for checking up on my background now?”
“You’re overthinking it, Mr. Mo. I was merely curious and asked out of instinct,” The yellow-robed man’s expression was the same, as if he had truly asked it casually.
He nodded to the scholarly man beside him.
Instantly, the scholarly man retrieved 30 sets of materials from his storage bag and 2,400,000 spirit stones. He put them all into a storage bag and placed it in front of Su Zimo.
