Chapter 1415: Chapter 1415: The Rusted Ancient Sword, The Mysterious Elder (2/3)

The crowd around was substantial.

They were all looking at the blades on the stand, as well as those medicinal pills and array scrolls.

It was clear that the quality of the items on this stall was much higher than those around it.

However, other items had plenty of onlookers, some even scrambling over them.

Yet, solely the small, decrepit copper sword at the very center was being picked up and then set down with a shake of the head, or not even granted a single glance.

How small was it?

It was about the size of a jade pendant.

And it also lacked any aura or the Power of Law attached to it, appearing to be nothing more than a rusted, rotting piece of ornamentation... No, it couldn’t even qualify as an ornament.

Mo Yu also noticed Lu Changsheng’s gaze and couldn’t help but look over.

At that moment, a man clad in leather armor picked up the decrepit copper sword and scoffed, "You’re actually selling this thing? And you’ve placed it at the very middle? How many Primordial Stones does it cost?"

The old man spoke indifferently, "One hundred thousand Flawless Primordial Stones."

"One hundred thousand?!" The man threw it down incredulously, saying, "Even a Demigod-level weapon wouldn’t be worth that much, right? You’re really asking for one hundred thousand—are you crazy?"

The old man remained expressionless and did not even glance at the man, saying, "To those who find utility in it, it’s worth more than gold; to those who don’t, it’s naturally just a piece of junk metal."

The man sneered and shook his head, leaving the stall.

Mo Yu looked at Lu Changsheng and said, "Master, are you interested in this small sword?"

Lu Changsheng nodded and replied, "It seems to hold some mysterious qualities."

"Mysterious qualities? But there is no aura on it at all." Mo Yu scratched his head, saying, "Or is it that my realm is not high enough to discern it?"

"But if Master finds it useful, it must indeed have its unique aspects."

"Mhm." Lu Changsheng nodded.

"Hm?" Mo Yu looked at Lu Changsheng with some confusion.

’Mhm’ what? If you find it useful, just buy it.

"What is a Flawless Primordial Stone?"

Mo Yu nearly toppled over in disbelief and said helplessly, "Master, you don’t know what a Flawless Primordial Stone is?"

Lu Changsheng nodded, "I am not from here."

Mo Yu suddenly understood and was not surprised; after all, many in the Chaos Realm came from different great realms.

Without hesitation, he directly took out an interspatial ring and handed it to the old man, saying, "Old sir, I’ll take this!"

The old man did not accept the ring, but this time he raised his head and looked over Mo Yu and Lu Changsheng carefully, then slowly said, "Now, I want two hundred thousand Flawless Primordial Stones."

Mo Yu was stunned.

The people around were also startled by these words.

Raising the price on the spot was not uncommon in the Chaos Realm, but doubling it to two hundred thousand Flawless Primordial Stones in one go—that was enough to buy a top-quality Demigod-level weapon!

However, Mo Yu was the little princess of the Mo Family.

Although she didn’t bring many Flawless Primordial Stones, the amount was still astronomical compared to others.

The old man glanced at Mo Yu indifferently, then flung the ring back to her, saying, "Take a look at the other items."

"Wait!"

Just as Lu Changsheng was about to stop Mo Yu, he saw Mo Yu pull out another interspatial ring. Under the greedy gaze of the bystanders, she handed it to the old man, saying, "Let’s settle on a final price, no more increases!"

The old man still didn’t take it but stated flatly, "It’s three hundred thousand now."

Mo Yu panicked.

She only had two hundred thousand in total!

Ordinarily, she would have had a row with the old man by now, but this was something the Master had taken an interest in. Having just become a disciple, the Master had given her many precious items; she needed to show her gratitude.

But the other party was giving her no chance to do so.

At that moment, Mo Yu was so angry that her face turned beet red, and she was almost steaming at the ears, "You... you!"

Just then, Lu Changsheng patted Mo Yu’s shoulder, stepped in front of her, and smiled, "It seems you’re not really after the Flawless Primordial Stone."

The elder made no retort but simply said to himself, "For those who find it useful, it’s worth a fortune."

"How about this? Let me have a look. If I can tell you what it’s for and succeed in using it, will you sell it to me?"

Upon hearing this, the elder didn’t say another word and handed the ancient copper sword over to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng accepted it and chuckled, "Aren’t you afraid I might just run off with it?"

"If you run, you run. For those to whom it’s useless, it’s nothing but a piece of scrap copper and iron anyway," the elder seemed quite unconcerned.

Lu Changsheng nodded, then closed his eyes to "sense" the ancient copper sword.

Barely a few moments passed before he opened his eyes again.

Mo Yu asked eagerly, "Master, do you know what it is?"

Lu Changsheng nodded, then looked towards the elder and transmitted his voice, "This is a medium, correct?"

The elder was slightly startled and also realized why Lu Changsheng had deliberately chosen to communicate through voice transmission, so he responded in kind, "Correct."

"With this, one can rebuild the heart, and moreover, forge a Sword Heart."

Hearing this, the elder looked at Lu Changsheng and asked, "How do you know?"

Lu Changsheng made up an excuse on the spot, "I heard it from someone else before."

"Well, since you don’t want to say, let’s leave it at that," the elder lowered his head.

Lu Changsheng: "..."

He definitely couldn’t admit the truth; he couldn’t very well say he had asked the system, right?

"Then, as per our agreement, you will sell this item to me?" Lu Changsheng said.

The elder waved his hand and said, "Take it."

"You don’t want the Flawless Primordial Stone?"

"This item is but scrap copper and iron in my hands. Since it’s fated to be with you, I’ll make this a good deed."

With that, the elder fell silent and began to collect all the items on the gray cloth, then turned and left without looking back.

Mo Yu was taken aback, "Hey? Why is that old man leaving?"

Lu Changsheng watched the elder’s retreating figure, feeling that the elder’s identity was not simple and it seemed as if the elder had been waiting for him...

With this thought, Lu Changsheng let out a sliver of his soul, wanting to follow the elder and uncover the truth.

But as soon as the elder disappeared from sight, both the soul’s presence and the elder’s own vanished without a trace!

It was as though he had evaporated from the world, his very existence thoroughly erased!

Lu Changsheng’s brow furrowed heavily as he looked towards the sky.

Was someone... monitoring his every move?

With this thought, Lu Changsheng felt increasingly uneasy.

No, he must strengthen his training when he got back and acquire more means to protect himself.

At this moment, Mo Yu said cheerfully, "Master, now that we’ve got it, shall we continue browsing? I haven’t bought you a gift yet!"

Lu Changsheng glanced around and then nodded, "Alright, then follow me."

Mo Yu was slightly bewildered by her master’s aloof expression but still nodded and followed him.

Lu Changsheng didn’t continue to wander the streets but instead went outside of Tongtian City.

Mo Yu asked with a puzzled face, "Master, why are we here? Aren’t we going to watch the selection competition?"

Lu Changsheng began to set up a barrier formation nearby and said softly, "This is the third lesson I’m teaching you, never flaunt wealth carelessly in public."

The innocent are guiltless; a man is guilty because he carries a treasure.

Suddenly, a dozen people with greedy faces appeared on the scene, grinning sinisterly at Mo Yu.
