Chapter 254 - Extremely Strong
The crowd dispersed gradually as the old man slowly closed his folding fan and hid the wooden block in his sleeves.
As everyone intersected, Su Zimo blinked and the old man disappeared by the time he looked back!
He frowned and pondered for a while before heading back to his residence.
Right after Su Zimo left Yongxing City, the storyteller popped out of nowhere and wobbled towards a deserted corner.
Lin Xuanji stood there, bored.
When he saw the old man approaching, Lin Xuanji hurried forth and whispered expectantly, “How was it, old man? Did you manage to see anything?”
“No. The fate of that lad has been changed and the trajectory is completely messed up,” The old man shook his head.
Lin Xuanji asked again, “What about that black dog? Can you tell what race it is?”
“Even though I don’t know how to forge weapons, I’ve been wandering around the city all these years. The place you’re at now is suitable for living but it’s not suitable for opening a weapon workshop. Nobody is going to come here at all.”
Cultivators familiar with the capital would definitely head to Yongxing City for spirit weapon customization. After all, all the weapon workshops of the capital were located there.
As for cultivators who were not familiar with the capital, they would also head to Yongxing City if they asked around.
From Nian Qi’s point of view, Su Zimo would have no customers at all if he were to open a weapon workshop here.
Unworried, Su Zimo smiled and said, “My weapon workshop is different from the rest, don’t worry.”
Nian Qi nodded, not fully understanding.
Su Zimo pointed to a chair nearby. “Take a seat and hold this stone. Let me have a look.”
On the table was a stone the size of a baby’s fist – it was a spirit testing stone that Su Zimo had just purchased.
Nian Qi reached out and held the spirit testing stone.
After a moment, the spirit testing stone remained unchanged.
Su Zimo sighed internally.
He had initially held hope that Nian Qi might have a spirit root and could enter cultivation.
However, he knew that the possibility of that was low.
There were many Golden Cores and even Nascent Souls in the capital. If Nian Qi had a spirit root, they would have long taken her away under their wings.
Now that there were no changes to the spirit testing stone, Su Zimo knew that Nian Qi was just like him – an ordinary person without a spirit root.
Seemingly realized something, Nian Qi said hurriedly, “Sir, even though I don’t have a spirit root, I am extremely strong and I can help you do many things. P-Please don’t chase me away.”
“It’s alright.”
Su Zimo shook his head and changed the topic, afraid that Nian Qi might overthink things. “You said that you are extremely strong? How strong?”
“Super, duper, strong.”
Nian Qi blinked her eyes and said, “I didn’t dare show it earlier because I was afraid others might lock me up like they do to monsters.”
Su Zimo could not help but laugh.
To him, Nian Qi was just trying to boast so that she would not be chased away.
How strong could a little girl with such a slender body be?
Su Zimo’s heart stirred and he wanted to tease Nian Qi. As such, he took out the Mystic Gold Silk Armor from his storage bag and placed it on the table gently. “This is a silk armor. Can you pick it up?”
“Of course!”
Nian Qi nodded confidently and tugged on the edge of the Mystic Gold Silk Armor with one hand, lifting it up.
It did not budge an inch at all!
“Eh?”
Nian Qi was stunned.
Su Zimo chuckled internally but remained expressionless on the surface.
Standing up, Nian Qi frowned and looked at the Mystic Gold Silk Armor in disbelief before using her other hand as well.
Sensing that Nian Qi was going to continue trying, Su Zimo waved it off, afraid that the joke would go too far. “It’s alright. This Mystic Gold Silk Armor actually weighs…”
Su Zimo’s voice stopped abruptly as he jolted from his seat and watched with widened eyes in disbelief.
Nian Qi’s arms trembled and her cheeks were slightly flushed, clearly at the limits of her strength. However, the Mystic Gold Silk Armor was truly lifted from the table!
