[Recondite Steel Heavy Sword: Dugu’s Divine Weapon

[A heavy sword needs no edge, and its strength is brought forth by its wielder’s skill!

[The sword is extremely heavy, and those without great qi cannot hope to wield it! Those in Moksha Realm whose Arm Strength and Affinity do not surpass their peers cannot hope to wield it.

[Requirements:

[Arm Strength: 400, Affinity: 400, Body Movement: 300

[Attributes are unknown, and it cannot be refined.

[Dugu Qiubai stood invincible with this sword before he was thirty years old!

[One-armed Condor Hero Yang Guo also relied on this sword to create Supreme Sword Technique!]

The origins for Recondite Steel Heavy Sword was indeed very astonishing, but the requirements for the player’s attributes was even more shocking.

Forget about the fact that he can only use it at Moksha Realm. The requirements for his Arm Strength and Affinity already at four hundred points? The requirements for his Body Movement was also at three hundred points. The requirements to use this sword was even more terrifying than the sword itself, and it was no wonder why no one would come up to buy it.

Right now, there were only a handful of players who managed to get four hundred Arm Strength even if they focused solely on training their Arm Strength, much less four hundred Affinity. That was basically asking an elite with extraordinary defensive skills to also be able to strike accurately with every hit. Besides, the requirements for Body Movement were also very high.

Happy did not manage to reach even one of the requirements for the three attributes.

It was not to say that he cannot reach it, it was just that his attributes were still far away from the requirement right now.

Also, there were no attributes for Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.

There was also the fact that it cannot be refined.

The person who sold this item might have decided to give it a rather ridiculous price at ten million taels of gold because of these reasons.

If he overlooked the price, Happy found himself to pay more attention to the legend of the weapon. It was rumored that it was later used to create Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber. Hence, the attributes for the weapon should be even higher than Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber! As of current, he did not have any weapon for him to kill. If he can have this, then he can cover up the distance in strength between himself and the other Happy.

Also, there was another reason why the sword caught Happy’s attention.

Even though he still had a long way to go before he reached the requirements for the weapon, once the level for Tendon Changing Classic went up, his attributes will increase at a frightening speed. He believed that before long, his Affinity and Body Movement will reach the required number. As for Arm Strength, he will have to spend some time on it. But on the day he mastered Tendon Changing Classic, it will give an extremely large boost to his attributes, and he will become a new man. By then, he believed that his Arm Strength will not be too far off the mark.

Besides, a weapon which cannot be refined and had mysterious attributes really did make him curious and excited.

Happy walked over.

The stall owner for Grand Demonic World Destruction Art looked incredibly relaxed while he watched many people compete for his manual. As of current, the price had already surpassed what Happy could hope to bear. Meanwhile, there were few people who went to the stall owner selling Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.


It’ll be very difficult for you to sell Recondite Steel Heavy Sword within half a year. Will you be willing to sell it to me at a cheaper price?


The stall owner had clearly met similar people who were interested with Recondite Steel Heavy Sword. When he heard Happy’s voice, he looked up.
Eight million taels of gold. Can you afford it?



A fourth-echelon Dragon Saber will be more practical than this sword, and it will also have more value. If you truly want this deal, give me a realistic price,
Happy said.

The stall owner was instantly stunned.

He originally thought that Happy was just here on a scavenger hunt or just came over to ask some questions. He did not expect that Happy will compare it to a fourth-echelon Dragon Saber, and he even said those words.

‘He seems to really want to buy this.’

Recondite Steel Heavy Sword was already in his hands for years, and usually, even when he brought it out, no one would pay attention to it. But due to the legends surrounding Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, the stall owner did not want to sell it at a cheap price, which was why it stayed at his stall for a long time, and it had practically become an item to guard his stall at this point.

Now, as time passed, the stall owner finally saw hope in selling the sword, but he also knew that the speed in which the value of silver dropped in the game was very fast.

After all, all sorts of demon vessels and divine weapons were coming out, and the price for fourth-echelon divine weapons caused him to not be very confident.

He stared at the man with the Bamboo Hat, and the stall owner became cautious and serious.
If you truly want it, I’ll sell it to you for the lowest price of seven million taels of gold. I cannot go any lower than that!



Seven million taels of gold?
Happy did not bargain for it.
Sure. Give me your name. I’ll add you as a friend. Help me keep Recondite Steel Heavy Sword for three days.



That’s a promise.


Even though he was skeptical that the man with the Bamboo Hat will not be able to buy the item because of how average his equipment was, the stall owner will not suffer any loss, anyway, because he will definitely not be able to sell his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword within three days.

But if what he said was true, then with seven million taels of gold, he will be able to gather together two fourth-echelon demon vessels very soon, and his strength will increase by leaps and bounds, so why should he not wait?



Brother!
The stall owner beside the sword owner suddenly called out to Happy.
Do you want to look at my martial art manuals? If you have a good weapon, there’s no reason for you to not have a good sword technique. Great Demonic World Destruction Art is a supreme grade manual I stole from Demon’s Domain. Divine Sword Villa gave it a very high appraisal.


Happy was stunned.

Divine Sword Villa and some of the martial art sacred grounds were places that were currently opened to the players. They can evaluate and give comments about certain martial art manuals, and the ranks go from the lowest commoner’s martial arts, to normal, average, good, ingenious, valuable, profound, unique, and ultimate. There were a total of nine ranks, and the higher the appraisal for the manual was, the higher the price for the sword technique will be.

Many of the manuals were considered commoner’s martial arts and normal, and they were low-grade martial art manuals.

Average and good martial art manuals were middle-grade martial art manuals.

Ingenious and valuable were considered high-grade martial art manuals.

Profound and unique were supreme-grade martial art manuals that were rare.

The last were ultimate techniques. Usually, the value of ultimate techniques cannot be measured, because no one will actually go and evaluate it, and they will also not sell it on the market.

Hence, the most popular manuals in the market were supreme-grade martial art manuals who were judged as profound and unique series.

Great Demonic World Destruction Art was not a profound sword technique, but a unique sword technique. The appraisal from Divine Sword Villa was that its murderous aura was incredibly great, and each move will burn at the user’s life as well as drain his or her qi. Even though the explosive strength from it was extraordinary, it cannot be used for a long time. It placed an emphasis on bloodthirst, and the villa did not suggest that those in the righteous path practice it.

Even though profound and unique sword techniques were supreme grade martial art manuals, it was clear that unique sword techniques were not as high as profound sword techniques.

Many people had been going after the sword technique manual for a long time, but its price remained at twenty-one million taels of silver.

Perhaps the stall owner also felt a little indignant, which was why when he heard Happy and the owner of Recondite Steel Heavy Sword agreeing to the trade for seventy million taels of silver, he became envious, and he immediately decided to promote his sword technique to Happy.

When he saw the enthusiastic stall owner of the sword technique as well as the bidders who sized him and the stall owner with furious glares, Happy quickly understood what was going on.

The stall owner was not pleased with the prices the bidders offered for his Great Demonic World Destruction Art.

Happy instantly came up with an idea.
I might really want to buy your manual, but I don’t have a lot of money with me right now, unless you’re willing to wait.



How much are you offering?



Name a price.



Thirty million. I can wait for thirty-six hours.


Happy thought about it for a while before he nodded.
No problem.


Even though it was a little expensive, if he changed his plan and headed to Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts to get some resources from those lions and white tigers that went berserk, with his skills, over the day, even if he cannot get that much money, if worse came to worst, he will just pawn off those two demon vessels he obtained.


Let’s add each other as friends.
The stall owner was beside himself with delight.

Just now, the people who surrounded him had only increased the price to around twenty million during the bidding, and then, none of them were willing to continue increasing the price.

Now, the stall owner increased it by another eight million taels of silver, and he had no qualms in waiting for a little while. After all, he was not worried that he cannot sell this manual.

But at the moment he received Happy’s friend request, the young stall owner’s expression turned into one of extreme surprise, causing his features to twist into a very strange expression.

He stared at the man with the Bamboo Hat before him with a dumbfounded expression.


If you can’t keep it for me, please tell me beforehand.
Happy naturally knew why he was surprised. He said those words with a calm tone before he turned around resolutely.

The young stall owner finally reacted to the situation and shouted at Happy’s back.
I’ll definitely be able to keep it for you! Definitely! On my life! Even if you spend ten days to get that money, I’ll wait for you!


The bidders were stunned silent. The group of bidders originally had mocking and derisive expressions on their faces while they stayed around the stall, but they were immediately surprised by his outburst. Even the Recondite Steel Heavy Sword owner looked shocked.

They can tell that the greedy and young stall owner seemed to have recognized that mysterious person with the Bamboo Hat, and it seemed like the person was rather famous as well, because he actually managed to make a Moksha Realm player who had a pretty good life in the game lose his composure like this.

Many people stared at Happy’s back.


Who is it?



Could it be that some leader from a sect put on a disguise to come here?


The Recondite Steel Heavy Sword owner was the most curious. He ran over without even caring about his stall and grabbed his neighbor, who was still in a daze.
Who is that? Do you know him?


As of now, the Recondite Steel Heavy Sword owner was rather anxious about the seventy million taels of silver that were not in his hands right now. He longed for it with great expectation, but was worried that it was all false hope.

The young stall owner turned his head around and stared at him curiously.
Didn’t you get his contact?



No. I only told him my name… Darn it, do you want to kill me here? Just who is he?


The Recondite Steel Heavy Sword owner’s words caused the young stall owner to get his answer, and he said,
A legendary player from a long time ago, and he’s a very famous person in the Chinese server over the past two days!


Some of the bidders who listened in on the conversation at full attention were shocked, but there were more people who seemed to have not been able to guess what the young stall owner meant, and they looked around to ask questions.

When he obtained his answer, the Recondite Steel Heavy Sword owner put on a delighted expression, as if he expected that answer.


So, it’s him!


Here I was, thinking that he had an extraordinary presence when he stood in front of me. It was as if a layer of golden light shone on my face… Hey, don’t leave!


The young stall owner regarded him with great contempt.
If you really had such great observational skills, why would you ask for Happy’s name? You told him your name because he asked for it. It’s clear that you didn’t think of him as anyone important.


The Recondite Steel Heavy Sword was instantly rendered speechless.

But the group of people did not notice that a few people in the crowd put on attentive expressions on the two stall owners.

These people quickly discussed with each other with mysterious expressions.


Happy reserved some items from those two stalls. Pay attention to them.





One Recondite Steel Heavy Sword and one supreme grade Moksha Realm sword technique.
Dream Clouds, who was in Demon’s Domain in Great Desert, frowned a little when she received this news, and she began mumbling to herself.
He has quite good insight. Recondite Steel Heavy Sword and a supreme grade sword technique…? Looks like he’s already laying out the path for him to enter Moksha Realm. But he seems to be very confident that he can get one hundred million taels of silver within a short period of time. He doesn’t have any sense of discomfort or sense of alienation after reentering World of Martial Arts…


As expected of the Mad Shaolin Disciple.



Should we take action? Happy is still as strong as ever. Blood Robes sent word that while the people in the morning were not sent by him and are just a bunch of lackeys, he’s still not an easy person to deal with. I think that once Happy enters Moksha Realm, he will soon gain his footing among those in the qi realm.



We don’t have to target him directly, it’ll just show that Class One Hall has no class. Tell the sect master for Five Venoms to buy the two items that Happy reserved. Let him handle such a small matter in the future. He knows what to do.


Dream Clouds burned the letter in her hands to a crisp.
