You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 424 - 212: Qilin Arm (Part 3)

Nothing else, it’s just because the cost of living is too high.

And the lower the people are, the more they lack resources, so the martial artists from Blue Star can make quite a bit of money just by being resellers.

Of course, if you don’t have a large storage treasure, being a reseller as a professional level martial artist would at best earn a little hard money. It’s better to improve your cultivation, become a master or even reach the grandmaster realm, as that is truly profitable.

Due to Qiong Jie, some skilled rangers in Huajian City also learned of the existence of the Divine Blade Pavilion. They rushed to buy treasure-grade weapons, allowing Ye Qingzhou to profit greatly from the material price differences.

And Qiong Jie was very satisfied with his harvest.

In less than two days, he got his long-awaited Golden Saber. Gently stroking the smooth blade, his expression was happier than when touching his wife.

"Owner, can this saber really cut through Duan Wu’s famous blade Red Fang?"

"I can."

Ye Qingzhou didn’t lie, he just didn’t mention that he had Celestial Eye, which could see through appearances to directly spot the weaknesses in the opponent’s weapon, enabling him to cut the enemy’s weapon in one blow.

As to whether others had this capability, he couldn’t guarantee.

But even comparing the quality of blades, Ye Qingzhou had at least studied the Celestial Casting Scripture and, in technical inheritance, was far superior to self-taught craftsmen like Duan Wu.

So those who came to buy blades didn’t really lose out.

Everyone was winning, Ye Qingzhou was just winning a bit more, which could be described as a happy situation for all.

Swish, swish, swish~

Although Qiong Jie didn’t get the answer he wanted, he was so excited to acquire a treasure-grade famous saber that he performed a sword dance on the spot.

Soon, the news of the grand opening of the Divine Blade Pavilion and the sale of more than ten famous blades spread throughout the city, reaching the people of Shanfeng Hao naturally.

"What an outrage!"

"We must deal with him!"

"He made Senior Brother Wuu lose a hand and now dares to open his shop right across from us, showing no regard for Shanfeng Hao!"

"Senior Brother Wen, take everyone for another charge!"

"Yes, otherwise, how can we, Shanfeng Hao, establish ourselves in Huajian City in the future?"

Just as everyone was seething with anger, planning to storm Ye Qingzhou, a figure over three meters tall walked through the gate, standing against the sunlight, and stepped into Shanfeng Hao.

His majestic figure cast a long shadow on the ground.

"Why aren’t you practicing, making such a ruckus here?"

The majestic and solemn voice resounded in everyone’s ears like a thunderclap.

Immediately, Shanfeng Hao’s apprentices looked like they found their backbone, emotions particularly fervent.

"Master!"

"Master is back!"

Duan Qianfeng frowned as he stepped forward, looking at Duan Wu’s severed left arm, his expression somber as he asked, "Who did this?"

Without any children, he treated Duan Wen and Duan Wu, whom he adopted since young, as his own sons.

"Master, I’ve disgraced you."

Duan Wu lowered his head in shame.

Duan Wen then stepped forward and explained the situation to Duan Qianfeng in detail.

Originally, Duan Wu had lost to Ye Qingzhou in forging techniques, which obviously tarnished Shanfeng Hao’s reputation.

But Duan Qianfeng didn’t blame Duan Wu, instead laughed heartily and praised him: "Very well, you have spirit, worthy of being my disciple."

Then Duan Qianfeng examined Duan Wu’s severed hand and comforted him: "It’s just a hand, not your head, nothing big. I’ll give you a new one."

Upon hearing this, Duan Wu was shocked: "Master, is this true?"

"Why don’t you believe me?"

"How dare I not, Master!"

"Haha, in the past, I indeed didn’t have the capability, but now, I’m not what I used to be."

Then, Duan Qianfeng took out a lump of refined flesh: "I’ve learned the casting art of War Emperor Chiyou, which can forge flesh into weapons. Bring your severed hand and fuse it with this Fire Qilin flesh, and I can craft an indestructible Profound Gold Qilin Arm for you."

"Thank you, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Wu was so emotional that tears welled up and rolled down his cheeks.

...

"Ye Long, Huang Wen."

In the Divine Blade Pavilion Weapon Shop, Qiong Jie pushed the door open and entered, voice hearty.

Huang Liwen, who became familiar with Qiong Jie recently, teased: "Old Qiong, here to see the sabers again?"

These days, Qiong Jie had new passions and forgot the old. Ye Qingzhou, idle and bored, took the chance to brush up on his skill proficiency in Thousand Hammers and Hundred Refinements, trying to break through to the realm of mastery.

Though progress was slow, he managed to forge an exceptionally fine saber, casually placed it on the shelf, and it ended up being treated as the store’s treasure.

The price of ten thousand sword coins was enough to make even master-level experts pause.

So, Qiong Jie could only come every day to feast his eyes.

But today, Qiong Jie was not there to drool over the treasure-grade saber; he earnestly told Ye Qingzhou: "Recently, Huajian City might not be very peaceful, you better leave soon."

"What’s going on?"

Ye Qingzhou was somewhat surprised at the news.

The order in Huajian City had always been good; after all, the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom is known as a combat race, and few forces would dare provoke them.

Qiong Jie sighed: "In the past three days, more than ten trade caravans have been attacked outside the city, and it’s said that experts of Heaven-Ascending Sixth Layer realm are involved, which is very unusual."

Being in the Heaven-Ascending Sixth Layer realm is the upper-rank grandmaster level, and above that is the martial saint.

On hearing this, Ye Qingzhou’s eyes lit up: "This provocation seems aimed at the city lord of Huajian City."

It’s simple logic: for a grandmaster at the Heaven-Ascending Sixth Layer realm to be dealt with, without a martial saint, it’s basically impossible to take them down.

"What a great baiting tactic, they are hoping that the willing ones take the bait."

Huajian City is a border city with substantial trade profits, so if trade caravans are attacked but the city lord doesn’t act, the loss would be tremendous.
