Chapter 7: The Flowing Light Sword
This person, Jingyan is certainly acquainted with, and not only acquainted, but one could say very familiar.
"Jing Yan, you came to find me, is there something you need? By the way, you need spirit stones for your cultivation, right? Wait a moment, I will go get some for you," Jing Chenxing said, and then began to walk towards the counter.
The Flowing Light Sword is a superior-grade weapon. In terms of quality, it is certainly not comparable to the exceptional weapon once possessed by Jing Yan. However, for Jing Yan at present, wielding this superior-grade weapon is more than sufficient. Of course, the value of a superior-grade weapon is also quite considerable, and within the Jing family, only a select number of advanced martial artists are qualified to use superior-grade weapons
Hehe, it's indeed not very good, but it's still manageable, I won't starve. In my current situation, if business were too good, I would probably be too busy to handle it. " Jing Chenxing waved his hand and said nonchalantly
Jing Yan extended his hands and received the Flowing Light Sword.
"What? You want to enter the Blackstone Mountains?" Jing Chenxing was slightly taken aback upon hearing Jing Yan's words, and then immediately shook his head, saying, "No, it's too dangerous. Jing Yan, if your martial arts realm had not fallen, I would not stop you from entering the Blackstone Mountains for the sake of training. But now, you absolutely cannot enter the Blackstone Mountains."
It is not because this sword is particularly good, but rather because this sword was once the personal weapon of Jing Chenxing. The long sword is named Liuguang Sword. Jing Yan understands the significance of this sword to Jing Chenxing, and now Jing Chenxing has entrusted this sword to him
Uncle Morning Star
Jing Chenxing looked at Jing Yan with some confusion
Seeing Jing Chenxing's expression, Jing Yan couldn't help but feel a tinge of bitterness in his heart; he found it hard to bear. This was because, ever since his talent had been discovered, he had become like the moon surrounded by stars in the Jing family, with countless people gathering around him. However, he had rarely come to see his uncle, Jing Chenxing.
Jing Yan does not have many memories of his father, as his father went missing when he was still very young. The family searched for a long time, but ultimately could not find any trace of his father. After his father's disappearance, Jing Yan's life was primarily spent growing up under the care of Jing Chenxing
"Uncle Morning Star, your business here doesn't seem to be doing very well?" Jing Yan walked up to Jing Chenxing.
"Uncle Morning Star, I do have something to discuss with you, but I do not want any spirit stones. I plan to enter the Black Stone Mountain Range to hunt spirit beasts, so I need a weapon. My previous weapon has already been reclaimed by my family," Jing Yan said
At this moment, Jing Yan's realm has fallen to the third level of martial arts, and naturally, Jing Chenxing is concerned about Jing Yan entering the mountains to hunt spirit beasts
"Jingyan, what brings you here?" Upon seeing Jingyan, Jingchenxing immediately displayed a comforting smile, clearly expressing genuine joy from the heart
Looking back now, Jing Yan truly feels that he is not a decent person
Brilliant Weapon Shop
Jing Chenxing gazed intently at Jing Yan. Upon hearing Jing Yan's words, Jing Chenxing pondered for a moment.
Inside the counter, there is a middle-aged man with a full beard, looking very rugged
The middle-aged man's name is Jing Chenxing, and he is also a member of the Jing family. Jing Yan still remembers that when he was a child, Jing Chenxing often held him in his arms. Most of Jing Yan's memories of his father also come from Jing Chenxing's accounts. According to Jing Chenxing, he had a very good relationship with Jing Yan's father
Jing Chenxing was also aware that Jing Yan's realm had been continuously declining, and he had almost fallen from a genius to a waste. However, his attitude towards Jing Yan had not become any colder because of this.
Donglin City has a total of four markets, namely the East District Market, West District Market, South District Market, and North District Market. These four markets are each controlled by four families, which are collectively referred to by many martial artists as the Four Great Families of Donglin City. The Jing family is one of these four great families
"Jing Yan, it is of no further use to me; in your hands, it will have greater utility," Jing Chen Xing said with a smile as he looked at Jing Yan
Jing Yan ultimately stopped outside a weapon shop. Although the name of this weapon shop sounded grand, it was merely an inconspicuous establishment within the market. Furthermore, the location of the weapon shop was quite remote, and very few martial artists would come here.
Since then, Jing Chenxing opened a weapon shop in the market and became a blacksmith
Uncle Morning Star, I have thought it through; I will not joke with my own life. Rest assured, I will only operate at the periphery of the mountains. If I encounter a spirit beast that I cannot contend with, I will definitely avoid it at the first opportunity. Uncle, you wouldn't want to see me sink into despair like this, would you? I, myself, am not willing to!
Jing Yan greeted the middle-aged man behind the counter with a smile
"Uncle Morning Star, please do not rush." Jing Yan reached out to stop Jing Chenxing's movement.
Uncle Morning Star ... ... Jing Yan still did not know whether he should accept the Flowing Light Sword
The Blackstone Mountain Range, a vast mountain range located to the west of Donglin City, conceals many exceptionally powerful spirit beasts. Even martial artists at the innate realm do not dare to venture too deeply into this mountain range
Jing Yan's breath slightly paused upon seeing this sword
After a gentle sigh, the corners of Jingyan's eyes became somewhat moist without him realizing it
Jing Chenxing is also a highly gifted martial artist. However, several years ago, Jing Chenxing suffered a severe injury. The outcome was that his life was saved, but he lost one of his legs.
His injury was brought back from the Blackstone Mountains
Jing Yan left the Jing family residence and quickly entered the market, making an effort to avoid crowded areas and opting for smaller paths, thus not attracting much attention. Moreover, the number of martial artists in the market was exceedingly high and dazzling, making it quite challenging for the Jing family members to recognize Jing Yan at a glance, requiring a keen eye.
The business of the weapon shop is evidently not very good, as can be seen from the fact that after Jing Yan entered the shop, he found that there was not a single customer present.
"Jingyan, take this long sword," Jing Chenxing said as he took out a dark long sword from a wooden box
"It is!" Jing Yan replied with a smile on his face
Finally, he slowly nodded and said, "Jingyan, I am very pleased that you have this ambition. Alright, I will provide you with weapons, but you must remember what you have said and be very careful."
Not far from the Jing family residence, there is a market known as the West District Market, located to the east of the city. This market is controlled by the Jing family and is essentially one of their enterprises
Jing Chenxing spoke decisively
In fact, Jing Chenxing does not possess many spirit stones. Ever since he sustained that serious injury, he has nearly reached the end of his martial arts journey. Otherwise, he would not be managing this ordinary weapon shop. Moreover, this shop is unlikely to bring Jing Chenxing much profit; even if he has some spirit stones, they certainly would not be many, and they would have been accumulated gradually.
"Take it." Jing Chenxing noticed that Jing Yan had not responded for quite some time, and couldn't help but raise his voice, saying.
"Little one, come here and let uncle take a look, you've grown quite a bit taller." Jing Chenxing walked out from behind the counter, leaning on a cane.
