Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 350 - 349: Selling the Wu Hook Flying Sword!
"Hmm, these things are quite satisfactory."
Gu Yuan nodded slightly, flipped his hand, and put away the Storage Pouch.
Zhuang Zhong also smiled and said:
"As long as you are satisfied, my friend. If you have any needs in the future, just come to our shop. I assure you that you’ll leave satisfied!"
When Zhuang Zhong said this, he patted his chest, making a "thump thump" sound, looking at Gu Yuan as if he were a Spirit Stone Mountain.
This friend in front of him, despite having a slightly lacking Cultivation and an unremarkable appearance, is quite wealthy.
Items worth as much as over three hundred thousand Spirit Stones were presented so effortlessly by the other party, with an unconcerned demeanor — truly impressive.
Frankly, even for a Golden Core Great Cultivator like him, taking out such high-value items is extremely difficult.
Even by using all his strength, he could only bring forth a third or a half of that value.
Considering this friend’s Cultivation isn’t even that of a Golden Core Great Cultivator, what does that imply?
It implies that either this person has a significant background or has someone supporting him.
In his estimation, it’s very likely both.
Because the origins of the items Gu Yuan brought forth are worth pondering.
Moreover, the benefits Gu Yuan brought today have greatly profited their Treasure Tower, scoring a hefty windfall.
Thus, his objective is simple and direct: win over Gu Yuan, and ideally, clarify his background and affiliation.
Even if the background remains unclear, efforts must be made to befriend Gu Yuan.
However, Gu Yuan’s reaction puzzled him. Gu Yuan paused for a moment, waving his hand and said: "Master Zhuang, there is no rush for this. I have another item I’d like you to take a look at."
"Huh?"
Vice Tower Master Zhuang was momentarily dumbfounded, then quickly responded with a laugh: "Haha, seems I got a bit ahead of myself. What else do you have, my friend?"
Gu Yuan brushed his hand, and an oddly shaped Wu Hook Flying Sword was placed on the table.
This Odd-shaped Flying Sword was black and red all over. One side was sharp and thin, radiating a sinister gleam, while the other side had triangular serrations, intermittently flashing blood-red light, truly unsettling, as if able to cut through anything in the world with an unparalleled sharpness!
The only flaw was the subtle scratches on the blade, which added to its vicious aura.
"Is this... a Magical Treasure?!"
Zhuang Zhong had not yet spoken when Old Chen beside him exclaimed, his goatee bouncing, instinctively stroking it, though he didn’t notice some hairs being plucked accidentally.
His old eyes were intently fixed on the Odd-shaped Flying Sword Gu Yuan produced, utterly entranced.
Zhuang Zhong swallowed, glancing at Gu Yuan, then at the Wu Hook Flying Sword, speechless.
He was a Golden Core Great Cultivator, indeed, but not every Golden Core Great Cultivator possesses a Magical Treasure.
In reality, most Golden Core Great Cultivators use not Magical Treasures but Magical Artifacts, often painstakingly cultivating their Lifebound Magical Artifacts for a lifetime, without necessarily advancing them to Magical Treasures.
Magical Treasures are not easily refined and possess immense power, fundamentally different from Magical Artifacts.
This factor contributes to their rarity.
Zhuang Zhong also lacked such an item, though the Treasure Tower housed two Magical Treasures, treasures of the establishment.
But those two Magical Treasures are usually kept on high shelves, not easily taken out; even he, as a Vice Tower Master, had no right to use them.
Gu Yuan being able to produce a Magical Treasure was far beyond his expectations.
The young errand boy at the side was completely dumbfounded.
This customer before them, is he really so extravagant? Even selling a Magical Treasure.
Who would ever think of parting with a treasure like a Magical Treasure?
Upon acquiring one, many Golden Core Great Cultivators treasure it immensely, not showing it lightly, not even to companions or children; much less would they think of selling it.
Yet this gentleman can nonchalantly produce a Magical Treasure for sale without even blinking—unbelievable.
Zhuang Zhong gave Old Chen a meaningful look, and Old Chen immediately stood up, carefully cradling the sword, scrutinizing it closely.
From the tip to the edge, from the handle to the blade, he examined it meticulously.
A moment later, Old Chen nodded and said: "This Flying Sword is indeed a Magical Treasure, moreover a treasure with three Celestial Spirit Restrictions. Although slightly damaged, it’s nothing serious; just requires some materials for simple repairs."
Three Celestial Spirit Restrictions, it’s not an ordinary Magical Treasure... Zhuang Zhong took a deep breath, turned to Gu Yuan, and asked solemnly: "I wonder what our friend wishes to trade this Flying Sword for. As long as our Treasure Tower has it, I will not refuse."
Zhuang Zhong knew well how valuable a Magical Treasure is. To measure it in Spirit Stones would be diminishing it, as such items often require an equitable exchange of equal-worth items—trade of goods for goods.
Thus, he didn’t even mention Spirit Stones, for exchanging a Magical Treasure for Spirit Stones would be foolish.
Truthfully, even Zhuang Zhong was tempted.
He felt a connection with this Odd-shaped Flying Sword, and once repaired, its quality would surpass the two Magical Treasures of the Treasure Tower.
Under such circumstances, how could he remain unmoved?
Given that he’s ascended as a Golden Core Great Cultivator for over a century, yet never possessed a Magical Treasure — it’s not because he’s destitute, for most Golden Core Great Cultivators are in this position.
But now, having laid eyes on this Wu Hook Flying Sword, Zhuang Zhong must admit, he feels a bit jealous...
Both impoverished and envious.
Why can’t this Flying Sword be mine?
"How about this, Master Zhuang? Why not bring out some items from your esteemed establishment for me to look at. If there’s something I like, I’ll consider making a trade."
Gu Yuan suggested.
Zhuang Zhong nodded unhesitatingly: "Alright, my friend, please wait a moment. I’ll return shortly."
As he spoke, he gave a meaningful glance to Old Chen and the young servant beside him, and the three of them departed together, leaving unclear what they intended to do.
Gu Yuan wasn’t bothered, picking a Spirit Fruit from the fruit platter and taking a bite.
Hmm, it was sweet and sour in taste, quite nice, reminiscent of the little tomatoes he tasted in his past life, yet much better...
As for why he wants to sell the Wu Hook Flying Sword, it’s actually simple: the Magical Treasure Flying Sword doesn’t serve much purpose for Gu Yuan.
Firstly, Gu Yuan already possesses the Divine Weapon Black Dragon Halberd, and the Nine-serpant Furnace, and then there’s the Blazing Carp Shuttle, all three of these items have a higher quality than the Wu Hook Flying Sword.
Moreover, Gu Yuan recently just completed the cultivation of his Lifebound Flying Sword, the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword.
Although the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword currently only contains seventy-two Earth Demon Restrictions as a top-tier Magical Artifact, not yet a Magical Treasure, it’s much stronger for Gu Yuan than the Wu Hook Treasure.
