The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 868 - 483: The Unrivaled Inscription
...
"Why don’t you try me," Yan Xiaobao roared, holding a sword in his hand. The sky over Muchuan City darkened, and thunder could be heard in the distance.
"You want to fight me? Do you really think your numbers can intimidate me?" he laughed loudly as the sword in his hand flashed. A series of Immortal Strikes was released towards the cultivators, and the Saints’ faces grew serious as they understood the incredible danger these sword attacks posed. However, Yan Xiaobao ensured that no attack hit anyone, making sure the energy dissipated into the thin air. It was, after all, merely a threat; he did not intend to oppose all the Saints of Muchuan City.
"Heh, you possess not only exceptional talent for someone your age, but also the power to threaten Saints," one expert remarked, to which Yan Xiaobao responded with a mere smile. His smile was not friendly, but filled with a sinister bloodthirsty desire.
Many observing experts felt a chill before they even started observing. They suddenly became uncertain about their decision. They realized that fighting Yan Xiaobao might not be as easy as they had anticipated.
"Fine, I’ll admit your strength. What do you require for your technique?" one expert finally sighed and asked. He held a high-quality storage stone coin, ready to pay the price Yan Xiaobao demanded.
Seeing the Saints back down, the Hui Clan decided to seize the opportunity to obtain the item instead of wasting time fighting several Saints. "Alright, since you’re asking nicely, let me make something clear first. What I use is not Martial Arts, but a Flying Sword. I have an inscription that, when placed on a weapon, makes it fly; however, because this inscription is exquisite and important to me, it won’t be cheap. If you provide me with various materials, I don’t mind engraving it for you. Advanced herbs would be best."
Hearing what he said shocked everyone, but the Saint who had taken out the stone removed it and took out some other storage stones. He tossed the stones to Yan Xiaobao, who caught them and looked inside. He nodded and looked at the expert who tossed the herbs towards him. "These will do, give me a sword to engrave the rune on," Yan Xiaobao said, and the expert made a sword for him.
Looking at the sword, the white-haired young man nodded and entered the Blacksmith Shop. He first engraved the Flying Rune on it, and then placed another rune on top of it. This rune created an illusion over the inscriptions, making them indistinguishable. This ensured that no one could understand or replicate the runes he had inscribed.
Upon leaving the room, Yan Xiaobao handed the sword to the expert who had given him the storage stones with the various advanced herbs. Once the expert infused his martial power into the sword, he was astonished to find he could soar into the sky on the sword beneath him.
Seeing the expert soar skyward, the eyes of all other experts filled with envy, and they shouted one after another to toss their storage stones to Yan Xiaobao, demanding Flying Swords. However, what they failed to notice was that the speed of these swords was far inferior to the one Yan Xiaobao flew on. "Everyone, calm down!" Yan Xiaobao shouted, amazed as experts attempted to force their storage stones upon him. "I am a top-notch spiritual blacksmith, and naturally, I will do business with those who can pay," Yan Xiaobao said, taking a few steps back calmly. "This was a lucky inscription acquired during my travels in the wilderness, but due to its age, this stone can only be used once. I was lucky to find this inscription left behind by an unparalleled engraver."
"I will not take over her shop, so future transactions will be as follows: a high-end storage stone filled with herbs, metals, or other items, plus a spirit coin. I want some of these items to be rare, but don’t worry, I won’t force you to give me only rare materials. I only want half of the items to be considered relatively rare or higher in quality. The spirit coins will be given to Cou Ling for lending us her shop. The materials will be to my satisfaction. If you can pay this price, I will be happy to engrave my Flying Rune onto the item of your choice."
Considering the importance of the inscriptions, the price he offered was not high. Everyone who had previously threatened him was now as friendly as possible, eager to obtain their inscribed weapons.
"Pay Cou Ling, I’ll take one sword at a time. It will take some time to complete everyone’s requests, but I believe it’ll be worth the wait for everyone." As he picked up a sword and entered the Blacksmith Shop behind him, Yan Xiaobao smiled.
Having perfected his inscriptions while crafting his own Flying Sword, Yan Xiaobao now used one that wasn’t as exquisite as earlier versions. Therefore, it consumed minimal energy. However, the other rune that prevented replication required him to use a considerable amount of energy. He quickly realized that he could engrave four swords before needing to use a red pill to return to peak condition.
Although those pills were rare, Yan Xiaobao had the recipe to make them. Looking at the numerous herbs in the Cosmic Box, Yan Xiaobao wasn’t too concerned about using the pills. If necessary, he would learn and make the pills himself.
Putting down one inscription after another, Yan Xiaobao finally completed his work. When he handed the last sword to the final expert, Yan Xiaobao wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a deep sigh. As the expert soared skyward with an excited smile, Yan Xiaobao rose to the heavens.
