699 Choose the Sword, Choose the Owner (3)

What kind of place was the Life Stealing Tower?

The assassins of the Life Stealing Tower would either be assassins for the rest of their lives or until the day they died at the hands of others, or they would die early at their hands.

No one had ever heard of anyone being able to leave the Life Stealing Tower safely.

The Life Stealing Tower took the lives of others, but also their own assassins’ lives.

“Cheng Jinsan, you shouldn’t have come.” Shao Tianyi raised his head and said softly, “Before, I only wanted to live. Now, I want to live well…”

Live well?

Who among the assassins of the Life Stealing Tower was worthy of living well?

“Do you think you can live a good life by killing me?” Cheng Jinsan sneered and unsheathed the sword on his back. “You should know that I came because I was instructed to do so.”

Shao Tianyi shook his head and his figure instantly turned ethereal.

“I don’t care who comes. Anyone who destroys my good life must die.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Jinsan’s expression changed.

He couldn’t see Shao Tianyi’s figure clearly, but he could sense a sharp killing intent.

A trace of sword intent condensed and pointed at his glabella, as if it could penetrate his forehead at any time.

Since when did Shao Tianyi have such cultivation and Sword Dao combat strength?

“Clang—”

After the sword hummed, everything returned to silence.

Cheng Jinsan, whose heart had been pierced by a sword, raised his head and looked at Shao Tianyi with difficulty.

“Senior Brother, perhaps this is a relief for me.

“I hope that you can live well.

“I really want to live a good life…”

Cheng Jinsan muttered and lowered his head.

“I will live well.” Shao Tianyi lifted Cheng Jinsan’s body with one hand and held his sword with the other. He quickly flew to the Endless Sea and threw Cheng Jinshan’s body and sword into the sea.

“Hehe, the sword is my life…”

Shao Tianyi muttered as he looked at the floating body.

At the sword shop, comprehending the sword moves on the calligraphy not only improved his swordsmanship cultivation, but also allowed him to condense sword intent.

Cheng Jinsan, whose combat strength was about the same as his, could not withstand a single strike from him.

Shao Tianyi didn’t know what kind of changes his Sword Dao had undergone.

“The Life Stealing Tower doesn’t allow people to kill each other, but if you intentionally don’t complete the mission, you’ll be hunted down until you die.”

Shao Tianyi didn’t turn around and shot out a sword light.

“Shao Tianyi, you’re courting death!

“F*ck! Your swordsmanship is already so strong…

“Spare me!”

…

In the Imperial View Sword Shop, Zeng Daniu looked at the wooden shelves and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall around him, feeling a little helpless.

His shopkeeper’s strength made him very happy.

However, Shao Tianyi’s unexpected actions made him uneasy.

He was a little stupid, illiterate, and ignorant, but he was not a fool.

The moment Shao Tianyi arrived at the sword shop, he felt that something was wrong.

Usually, Shao Tianyi was respectful to the shopkeeper, but it was more like he was afraid.

“Brother Shao, the shopkeeper is so kind and the sword shop is so good. Don’t do anything stupid…” As he spoke, he turned to look at the swords on the wooden shelves.

Should he take a sword and be prepared to use it?

“Is the shopkeeper of the sword shop here?” A voice came from the door.

A middle-aged man in a short gray robe walked into the shop and looked around. Then his gaze landed on the swords on the wooden shelves.

“Esteemed guest, you want to buy a sword? My shopkeeper happened to be out.” Zeng Daniu quickly went forward to welcome him and pointed at the swords on the wooden shelves.

“These are all good swords sold by the Imperial View Sword Shop. You can take a look.”

At this point, he paused and recalled the conversation between Han Muye and Miss Yu. He added, “Choose the sword, choose the owner. Guest, you can take a good look and see if there’s anything suitable.”

The middle-aged man, who was originally calm, suddenly changed his expression when he heard “Choose the sword, choose the owner”. His eyes lit up.

He walked forward in silence and slowly paced around the wooden shelves. From time to time, he would reach out to check those swords.

He looked at them very slowly and carefully.

Zeng Daniu followed behind him.

After walking around, the middle-aged man picked up five or six swords and looked at Zeng Daniu. “I want these swords.”

Buying six swords at once!

Delight appeared on Zeng Daniu’s face. He quickly went to the wooden shelves to look at the positions of the swords.

He couldn’t read, but he memorized the prices and introductions of the swords.

...

He had pestered Shao Tianyi to teach him.

“Three mortal weapons, one semi-spiritual weapon, and two inferior-grade spiritual weapons. A total of 465,000 spiritual rocks.”

This was the first time he had done such a big business.

When it came to discussing the price of the swords sold in the shop, it was always Shao Tianyi or Han Muye who came forward.

“Esteemed guest, these three mortal artifacts lacked the nourishment of sword qi previously. The sharpness of them is somewhat lacking. After you buy them, you can nourish them for another half a year.”

“This semi-spiritual weapon, the Dawn Rain Sword, is forged from the Sound of Rain Metal. There’s a water spiritual pattern that’s suitable for the Water Lineage Sword Technique.”

Han Muye would sometimes explain the swords. Zeng Daniu listened and remembered.

Especially when he returned to the water village and traveled with the Tao family’s head, he casually said a few words about the characteristics of the swords and the forging techniques, which made the Tao Family’s head gasp in amazement.

After returning, Zeng Daniu listened attentively to the introduction of the swords, not missing a single word.

“You know smithing art too?” The middle-aged man was surprised. He sized up Zeng Daniu and asked.

Zeng Daniu scratched his head and said embarrassedly, “Esteemed guest, you must be joking. I’m just a mortal. How can I know how to forge?

...

“I’m just thinking that I have to do things well and learn more.”

He raised his arm and waved it twice, then grinned. “But I have strength in my arms. I wonder if I can learn how to forge?”

The middle-aged man nodded and placed a jade box on the counter. Then he put away the sword. “Choose the sword and choose the owner. When your shopkeeper returns, tell him that Zhu Mingshen from Hongyun Sword Casting House has been here.

“Also, if you want to learn forging, you can come to my Sword Casting Cottage to try.”

With that, Zhu Mingshen turned around and walked out of the sword shop.

Sword Casting Cottage?

Learn blacksmithing?

Zeng Daniu felt his heart beating rapidly.

Would he really have a chance to learn blacksmithing?

When Han Muye returned and placed the food box on the counter, Zeng Daniu was in a daze.

“Where’s Shao Tianyi?” Han Muye turned to look.

“Brother Shao, he went out for something.” When Zeng Daniu spoke, he did not dare to look Han Muye in the eye.

Han Muye nodded and walked upstairs. “I brought you some food. The braised pork in that restaurant doesn’t taste bad. Eat it while it’s hot.”

Zeng Daniu looked at the food box and recalled the business he had done today. He quickly picked up the jade box at the side and chased after Han Muye. “Shopkeeper, someone came to buy six swords just now.”

Six swords?

Buying so much at once?

Han Muye turned to look at the wooden shelves and took the jade box.

“What did he say?”

“He said his name is Zhu Mingshen, and he’s from Hongyun Sword Casting Cottage.” Zeng Daniu replied in a low voice.

Hongyun Sword Casting Cottage?

This was the main supplier of the sword shop.

No wonder the swords he bought were the ones left behind by the previous sword shop.

The two low-grade spiritual weapons were slowly repaired by Han Muye after he nourished them with sword Qi.

“What else did he say?” Han Muye looked at Zeng Daniu.

Zeng Daniu’s face turned red.

“He, he also said…”
