Chapter 256 - Bitten to Death
After Lin Xuanji entered the courtyard, a black shadow flashed behind him.
A menacing-looking demon beast stood at the entrance of the residence. With bloodshot eyes, its entire body was covered in long, black fur and its limbs were strong. Tall and mighty, it exuded a savage and ferocious aura!
A Foundation Establishment spirit demon, an ancient remnant beast, Bane Spirit Hound!
The Bane Spirit Hound was extremely vicious and anyone targeted by it would mostly be hunted to a life and death situation.
Even in the ancient era, there were few demon beasts and cultivators who were willing to provoke it.
The sudden sight of such a demon beast had Nian Qi exclaiming as she stumbled back instinctively.
“Roar!”
Her reaction attracted the attention of the Bane Spirit Hound.
Night Spirit raised its head and bit Lin Xuanji’s folding fan once more, pulling it towards the back.
Caught off guard, the folding fan nearly slipped out of Lin Xuanji’s hand.
“Hey! Y-You evil dog! Let go!”
Lin Xuanji was extremely furious.
Of all things, Night Spirit was always biting that folding fan, trying to tug it away.
Lin Xuanji could lose everything except that folding fan.
Right then, a voice sounded from the entrance of the residence.
“Excuse me, can we order customized middle-grade spirit weapons here?”
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator stood at the entrance, peeking in with his head and asking with a trace of doubt.
“Of course.”
Nian Qi reacted instantly and hurried forward. She smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, please enter.”
Su Zimo patted Night Spirit.
It released its grip and turned to leave, no longer bothered with Lin Xuanji. Sprawling on the ground nearby, its closed its eyes lazily and cultivated.
Lin Xuanji heaved a sigh of relief.
“I couldn’t tell at all, but you even know how to refine weapons?”
Lin Xuanji glanced askance at Su Zimo.
Su Zimo smiled without replying.
Nian Qi asked, “How do we address you, fellow Daoist?”
“Tan Fei.”
“What sort of a middle-grade spirit weapon are you looking to order?” Nian Qi asked again.
Tan Fei looked a little uneasy and replied, “I don’t have much materials and I only have two sets. I wonder if…”
“It’s fine, we just need one set,” Nian Qi said with a smile.
“Huh?”
“Ah?
Both Tan Fei and Lin Xuanji were stunned with agape mouths, unable to react for a moment.
“A set… a single set of materials?” Tan Fei looked at Nian Qi and asked once more, seemingly in disbelief.
Nian Qi hesitated as well, glancing over at Su Zimo.
When she saw Su Zimo nodding, she nodded her head with confidence. “That’s right, we only require one set of materials!”
“Hey, do you really know how to refine weapons?” Lin Xuanji leaned in and asked in a low voice.
Su Zimo chuckled. “Somewhat.”
“Somewhat your ass!”
Lin Xuanji pursed his lips. “From the ancient times till now, I’ve never heard of any Weapon Refinement Master who would dare to customize spirit weapons for others with just one set of materials!”
Su Zimo replied, “You’ll see it soon.”
Lin Xuanji: “…”
Tan Fei asked cautiously, “What about the price? If it’s too expensive, I can’t afford it.”
“It isn’t, it’s just 3,000 middle-grade spirit stones,” Nian Qi stated the price as Su Zimo had originally set.
“Just 3,000? No variations?” Tan Fei could not believe it.
Coughing gently, he continued, “I better state my specifications first. I want to customize a saber without a handle. The blade should be two feet long with a width two fingers wide. It should weigh around 100 kilograms…”
After saying a lot, Tan Fei took a deep breath and asked embarrassedly, “Does that still cost 3,000 middle-grade spirit stones only?”
To be fair, he had already gone to all the weapon workshops in the capital before coming here.
When they heard that he only had two sets of materials prepared, none of the weapon workshops were prepared to take his business.
Furthermore, according to his specifications, that middle-grade spirit weapon should cost at least 4,000 middle-grade spirit stones!
If not for that, Tan Fei would not have found this place otherwise.
“Just 3,000.”
Nian Qi was certain this time round, but Tan Fei was the one who was hesitant.
With just a single set of materials and at such a low price, he could not feel at ease for a deal that seemed so good.
Lin Xuanji grinned as he watched the fun, waiting for Su Zimo to make a fool of himself.
