Chapter 27 - Sanguine Crystal Bow, Cold Moon Saber
Men of letters preferred swords. Even if they did not know any martial arts, they liked to carry a sword with them, as they appeared to be noble and elegant with it.
The saber was used by the armies on the battlefield and the ruffians of the pugilistic society. It was totally unlike the aura of the scholar.
When choosing his weapons at Sky Treasure Pavilion, Su Zimo did not choose the sword but the saber automatically. He did not know the reason behind his actions as well.
Su Zimo finally understood why when he left the mansion of the City Lord. That was because he was no scholar deep down inside.
He was the son of the mighty Lord Wuding, that all the dukes were in awe of. He should be galloping on the battlefield, killing countless enemies with his fearless and indomitable spirit, blood staining his robe!
Originally, Su Zimo could not understand why he was not the least nervous, scared or frightened when the knife that he held pierced Zhou Dingyun’s throat that night. Instead, he was slightly excited and eager to try.
Su Zimo finally understood everything right now.
“Tell him to come. I would like to meet him,” Su Zimo said in a deep voice.
The manager of Sky Treasure Pavilion brought someone with him in no time. He was a Qi Refinement Warrior in his forties. He looked handsome and composed.
“This is Young Master Su. You can talk to him regarding your requests.” The manager of Sky Treasure Pavilion stood to the side after finishing the introductions.
Upon seeing Su Zimo, Song Qi did not look down on him or flatter him. He cupped his fists and said, “Young Master Su.”
Su Zimo asked, “Are you in a hurry to use spirit stones?”
“Yes. If I have sufficient spirit stones, I will be able to get through Level 8 Qi Condensation.” Song Qi nodded.
“How long will it take?”
“Well… I can’t say for sure. Nobody can tell you the exact timing to break through a realm.” Song Qi was being very frank.
Su Zimo had a good first impression of the man. He was silent before he asked, “Since you are lacking spirit stones, why don’t you join a clan?”
“I am a pseudo spirit root. No major clans are willing to accept me. Even if they accept me, they will only treat me as a servant.” Song Qi smiled bitterly.
A pseudo spirit root was the worst spirit root. It contained the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire and earth. It would absorb a mixture of spirit qi. It was impure and one’s cultivation speed was very slow.
There were also spirit roots that only contained one element, for example metal spirit root, wood spirit root and fire spirit root, it was akin to the legendary heaven spirit root. It could take in the purest spirit qi, and its cultivation speed was fast. If one did not encounter any mishaps, one would most likely become a Golden Core!
Given that he was a pseudo spirit root, Su Zimo knew that Song Qi must have been through a lot of suffering to be able to reach Level 7 Qi Condensation in his forties.
“Let’s go. Come with me to Ping Yang Town. I will give you one thousand spirit stones in advance,” Su Zimo said.
“Ah!”
Song Qi exclaimed. He could not conceal his joy.
Song Qi did not expect that Su Zimo would agree to his request. After all, he was not a Level 8 Qi Refinement Warrior, and he requested his employer to pay him spirit stones in advance. He felt sorry about it.
He did not expect that Su Zimo would give him one thousand spirit stones right away!
“Young Master Su, thank you very much. I will do everything possible to protect the Su family!” Song Qi thanked him profusely.
