Chapter 942: Chapter 942: The Rusty Iron Sword
Feeling the vibration of the Star Dream Moon Sword, Zhu Fei felt a sudden shock in his heart.
Upon careful sensing, Zhu Fei discovered that not far from him and Chen Tianxing was a stall with a rust-covered iron sword.
The stall owner was a burly man in blue clothes, his aura refined and Immortal Essence abundant, clearly an expert at the Heavenly Immortal Peak.
The very iron sword that caused the Star Dream Moon Sword within Zhu Fei to feel a tremor was undoubtedly on the stall of the man in blue!
A trace of unfamiliar light flashed in Zhu Fei’s eyes at this moment.
At once, he greeted Chen Tianxing beside him, asking her to look around herself while Zhu Fei walked directly towards the stall of the man in blue.
After arriving at the blue-clothed man’s stall, Zhu Fei did not immediately focus on the rusty iron sword but looked at other items on the stall.
Zhu Fei found that the other items at the stall were relatively ordinary and nothing caught his eye.
After searching around for a short while, Zhu Fei deliberately showed a somewhat puzzled expression and picked up the rusty iron sword, then turned to the blue-clad man to ask:
"Friend, may I ask if there’s something different about this sword?"
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s question, the blue-clad man merely lifted his head and looked Zhu Fei in the eye, then calmly replied:
"There’s no need to ask me, because I don’t know either. But I can assure you, this sword is definitely not ordinary, as I obtained it in an Ancient Secret Realm."
The words of the blue-clad man lightly blocked Zhu Fei.
However, he quickly regained his composure and didn’t ask further regarding the sword; instead, he directly said: "Just tell me how you intend to sell this sword. As long as the price is right, I’m willing to take it for study."
By saying this, he implied that, in his view, the sword was just this. Despite the mysterious tales you narrate, there are many mysteries in the world, but not many truly gain opportunities from them.
Moreover, Zhu Fei’s tone contained another implication, which was not to fool him. If the sword was really as extraordinary as you claimed, why would you not keep it yourself? Why would you sell it?
The blue-clad man was not foolish, and immediately discerned Zhu Fei’s implied meaning.
Judging by his facial expression, he didn’t seem to mind, or you could precisely say that he had long grown numb to similar customers like Zhu Fei, having encountered more than just a few.
"One Xuantian Pill, or exchange for a Mid Grade Immortal Artifact. I’m not considering anything else."
The blue-clad man suddenly spoke nonchalantly. Though his words were plain, the firmness in his tone was unmistakable to anyone.
Zhu Fei couldn’t help but be startled.
This guy really dared to ask, Xuantian Pill- a pill enabling a Heavenly Immortal to surpass the bottleneck to become a Profound Immortal. Ordinarily, let alone just this seeming worthless iron sword, even taking out tens of millions of low-grade Immortal Crystals might not prompt one to sell.
This guy, on the other hand, easily proposed exchanging it for a Xuantian Pill. If he hadn’t known the real value of the sword, he might have been scared off by his price.
However, at present, Zhu Fei truly didn’t have any Xuantian Pills on him.
If he were to craft one, not speaking of the fact that he lacked the materials for crafting a Xuantian Pill, even if he had them, he wouldn’t be entirely confident in successfully crafting it, so it seemed only one way out...
With these thoughts, Zhu Fei already took out a jade ruler emitting green light from his belongings, set several Prohibitions around it, and handed the ruler directly to the blue-clad man.
"Friend, see if exchanging this Mid Grade Immortal Artifact for your iron sword can satisfy you?"
The jade ruler Zhu Fei now produced was naturally the Green Light Ruler he had obtained from Luo Yin Alchemist.
At present, he’s realized the blue-clad man was evidently very stubborn.
Though his speech and manner were calm earlier, they were exceptionally firm.
Entirely convinced that bargaining was ineffective with this man.
Not only that, if the item Zhu Fei presented couldn’t satisfy the man, he surely wouldn’t agree to exchange.
Thankfully Zhu Fei still possessed this Mid Grade Immortal Artifact.
The blue-clad man’s eyes initially narrowed upon seeing the Green Light Ruler, then he lightly shook his head.
"The quality of your Mid Grade Immortal Artifact is too low. If you want to exchange for my item, you’ll need to offer five million low-grade Immortal Crystals additionally."
"You want me to offer five million low-grade Immortal Crystals additionally?"
A trace of annoyance flashed across Zhu Fei’s face, but inwardly, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Being able to exchange a regular Mid Grade Immortal Artifact along with five million low-grade Immortal Crystals for something that could stir the Star Dream Moon Sword, it’s simply too valuable.
However, externally, Zhu Fei had to feign considerable displeasure.
For the moment, he stared at the blue-clad man, and after a moment’s consideration, feigned reluctance, gritted his teeth and said:
"Fine, you got me. Add five million then another five million."
Upon uttering this, Zhu Fei didn’t waste any more words, took out a storage bag containing five million low-grade Immortal Crystals from his possessions, and tossed it directly to the blue-clad man.
Once the blue-clad man inspected Zhu Fei’s offered items, a hint of smile finally appeared on his face, which hadn’t smiled until this moment.
Upon witnessing this smile, Zhu Fei realized he might have been "duped" by the man.
All the man’s behaviors likely served to deceive him.
At this thought, Zhu Fei subtly sneered internally.
Who ultimately duped whom, who secured real advantages, remains unknown.
Thankfully, Zhu Fei didn’t bother engaging in extended exchanges with the blue-clad man; after securing the rust-covered iron sword, he turned around and left directly.
"Zhu Fei, where did you go just now?"
As Zhu Fei returned to Chen Tianxing’s side, Chen Tianxing looked at him curiously and asked.
Faced with Chen Tianxing’s query, Zhu Fei did not respond immediately but gently shook his head at her.
Seeing this, Chen Tianxing refrained from further inquiry.
The two then spent some more time at the trade fair.
Zhu Fei was preoccupied with the secret within the iron sword, momentarily losing interest in selling anything at the trade fair.
After staying there for a while longer with Chen Tianxing, they returned to the workers’ compartment.
Upon reaching the workers’ compartment and entering his room, Zhu Fei promptly took out the rust-covered iron sword.
