Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 68: Taibai Phecda: Oh No! The Braggart!
No way! I think giving money is great!
When Su Yuan heard Master Taibai wanted to reward him, he was delighted, but upon hearing that the other party wasn’t planning to give him money, Su Yuan’s heart ached as if twisted.
Oh, Su Yuan, why do you have to say such blunt truths? Couldn’t you play the victim a bit?
However, Master Taibai’s next sentence made Su Yuan change his mind once more.
Master Taibai pondered briefly and then said:
"I possess nothing but a love for the Sword Dao, thus I have stored three hundred swords."
"You are my future student and will certainly learn Sword Dao from me for a while, so I’ll pick a sword to gift you."
Su Yuan’s eyes immediately lit up.
Flying sword! It’s a flying sword!
Having lived two lifetimes, Su Yuan has always dreamed of having a flying sword.
Unfortunately, due to his poverty in this life, apart from test-driving Chu Lanxi’s limited edition flying sword a few times, he could only use shared flying swords to get around.
An even slightly better flying sword would cost tens of thousands, and the flying swords collected by Master Taibai, obviously, couldn’t be less than a million!
Isn’t this better than just giving money?
Su Yuan quickly stood up, somewhat shyly said:
"Master Taibai, your stored swords are too precious, it’s not really appropriate... so where is your Sword Storage Pavilion?"
Seeing Su Yuan’s look of wanting to refuse, yet welcoming the offer, Master Taibai felt a bit more at ease.
This brat isn’t truly flawless; he’s just a money-eyed little rascal.
Hmph, I don’t know what my daughter sees in him, being so clingy to him.
Of course, even though he thought this in his heart, Master Taibai maintained a gentle smile on his face, saying lightly:
"But don’t get too happy just yet; all the swords I’ve collected have varying degrees of spirituality and have certain requirements for their owners."
"If none of my swords recognize you as their master, you’d have made this trip for nothing."
Spirituality? Recognition?
Isn’t this my area of expertise?
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Su Yuan straightened his back and said haughtily:
"If that’s all the requirement, Master Taibai, then you’d better be prepared for me to take away your most treasured sword."
Master Taibai: "..."
The old father’s gaze became sharp in an instant!
Did you just say you’d take it?
For many Sword Cultivators, a lifebound flying sword might be more important than a Dao companion!
As a single dad, Master Taibai truly treated his lifebound flying sword like a wife!
And this little punk is saying he’s going to take his wife right in front of him!
Fists clenching and hardening!
Although the swords I intend to give Su Yuan don’t include my wife... ahem, my lifebound flying sword, among my collection, there are indeed many swords I consider my daughters.
So Su Yuan is planning to take his daughters, is he!
This is utterly intolerable!
"Hmph, we’ll just have to see if you can truly earn the recognition of my swords."
Master Taibai let out a cold laugh:
"Come with me then."
Saying so, he went straight to an elevator inside the grand flat, opened the door, and stepped inside.
Su Yuan followed him inside with a bit of confusion.
The elevator ascended, and when the doors opened again, a new grand flat appeared before Su Yuan.
This large flat, spanning several hundred square meters, was filled with swords! The room was overflowing with a cold light and a murderous aura, making Su Yuan instinctively shrink back his neck.
It was then he finally understood, that this sword-loving Master Taibai had actually bought the floor above his residence to store his collected swords!
Though Taihua City isn’t a major city, this building is located in the city center and ranks among the top three luxury buildings in the city! A single floor is worth probably over a hundred million, maybe even more!
Gulp—
Su Yuan swallowed a gulp of saliva, unconsciously letting out an astonished exclamation.
However, he soon realized that compared to the swords in this room, the room’s value was insignificant.
Among these three hundred swords, there were some limited edition flying swords from renowned refining sects that Su Yuan had seen online.
The price... starts in the tens of millions.
And many more were swords that Su Yuan couldn’t even recognize, but just from the chill and murderous aura they exuded, they seemed even more terrifying than the limited edition flying swords.
Could they be prototypes!
As everyone knows, the materials and levels of prototypes are far superior to mass-produced models!
Seeing Su Yuan dazzled by the selection, Master Taibai smiled with satisfaction, saying:
"Go and choose a sword that suits you, but don’t blame me if I didn’t warn you, if you challenge those top ten Spirit Swords right from the start, you may easily get hurt."
Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, taking a closer look at the three hundred swords, and realized the placement of the swords had a method to it.
At the very center of the Sword Storage Pavilion were ten swords, each with different appearances and auras, seemingly alive, with the other swords arranged around them like stars encircling the moon.
Having mastered the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon, Su Yuan was highly sensitive to the spirituality of magical treasures.
After a closer observation, Su Yuan was shocked to find that the spirituality of these ten swords was so high that they were on the verge of awakening artifact spirits!
Moreover, these weren’t magical treasures that gained spirituality through long-term companionship with a master, but those that were crafted with spirituality that tended towards awakening artifact spirits.
One can imagine how high the quality of these ten Spirit Swords must be! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Swords of this caliber are priceless treasures!
Perhaps only famous figures like Master Taibai, who has the potential to become a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator in the future, could collect so many Spirit Swords.
Su Yuan turned to look at the slightly smug Master Taibai and asked, puzzled:
"Master Taibai, each of these ten swords is invaluable, but why have you only kept them in your collection instead of refining and taking them to the battlefield?"
Master Taibai: "..."
The smile on the Golden Core Master’s face stiffened.
He certainly couldn’t tell the boy that his lifebound flying sword was rather strict and didn’t allow him to keep other swords!
Doesn’t Master Taibai care about his own face?
Before Master Taibai could come up with a reasonable explanation, Su Yuan discerned something from the subtle expressions.
One look was enough to determine—he’s under his wife’s control.
Su Yuan quickly switched topics, lightly clearing his throat:
"Then I’ll go choose a sword first, Master Taibai, don’t take what I said to heart."
You brat! At least listen to my explanation! Does your guilty shift in topic imply you’ve really figured something out?
Master Taibai’s heart raced!
But it was already too late to say anything now.
And the next second, he couldn’t even worry about whether his strict wife’s control had been exposed, as he watched with astonishment as Su Yuan rushed straight towards his ten most cherished Spirit Swords!
Then, without hesitation, he reached out to grab one of them!
