The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 870 - 483: Unrivaled Inscription (Part 3)
"I was told, the secret of the young master is that he is a special spiritual blacksmith capable of creating these flying swords. To see that you really created so many of them, I fear we may not have sufficient funds to purchase them. Might you be willing to sell them at the auction?" the Clan Leader asked, his heart aching. Though he truly wished to own these flying swords, he could not pay too high a price for so many. Upon hearing his words, Yan Xiaobao merely shook his head.
"Ma Kong is my good friend; I am gifting these to him. If you truly wish for me to be paid, then I am happy to accept some herbal medicines. Not rare ones, but those used by apprentice Alchemists." Yan Xiaobao laughed aloud, the Clan Leader’s eyes grew increasingly bright. "Herbal medicine, you say? I will prepare them immediately."
Though Yan Xiaobao said he was gifting these swords to the Ma Family, they did not want to take his friendship for granted. If they didn’t give him something in return for all his efforts, then their relationship might not be as good in the future. They preferred to pay for his work, so he would help them without hesitation in the future, rather than hoarding some precious treasures. They had benefited from Yan Xiaobao numerous times. Clearly, maintaining a good relationship with Yan Xiaobao would continue to boost their family’s influence.
The Clan Leader and Ma Kong were not fools. Hearing that Yan Xiaobao requested herbal medicines for apprentice Alchemists implied that this genius before them had likely already succeeded in achieving elemental affinity with fire and wood, and it was evident before them that he clearly had elemental affinity with metal. Having three elemental affinities was exceedingly rare, and if allowed to grow, they could become top experts. The Clan Leader would do anything to maintain their friendly relationship with Yan Xiaobao. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Indeed, the Clan Leader was extravagant. For each sword, he offered a high-grade storage stone filled with herbal medicine, some even containing very rare herbs. Clearly, he had almost cleared out the entire herbal medicine storehouse of the Ma Family. Despite this expense, the Clan Leader deemed it worthwhile. Buying herbal medicine was simple. Mercenaries brought herbs daily and sold them to the auction house, but these flying swords could only be made by one person! Purchasing them and selling them at the auction was the best choice for the Ma Family.
Yan Xiaobao crafted these swords well. He knew the Ma Family wouldn’t flood the market with them, and even if they did, it didn’t matter to Yan Xiaobao. The swords were of a lower grade than his own; they were made of black iron, not from the high-quality materials from which Yan Xiaobao’s sword was crafted, and the quality of the runes on them was lower than those on his own sword. When he decided to roam the skies, no one could follow him.
"We, the Black Market Auction House, cannot thank you enough for the goodwill you have brought to our family," the Clan Leader said excitedly, his eyes misty as he gazed at the tall flying swords piled on Ma Kong’s desk.
"If you need anything, please feel free to contact us. The Black Market Auction House will always be there to support you. If we refuse, heaven might strike us down and crush our spirits!"
The Clan Leader was indeed quite emotional. His eyes were almost misty, and though he might have sworn an oath due to these emotions, it was an oath he would zealously uphold. It wasn’t the first time Yan Xiaobao had done things beneficial for the Ma Family; he had done many things that brought fame and fortune to the Ma Family.
