Chapter 292: New Sword

"You did good." Lin Hu nodded and then slipped away to rest inside Lin Xiao's consciousness.

Towards that cold hearted dragon, Lin Xiao was really itching to give it a good beating just to vent his feelings. Lin Xiao couldn't do anything for the time being and thus, with a grunt, he simply slept.

In the morning, he woke up early and met the others. After training in the training hall, both Prince Lin San and Xia Ye looked more energized. It seemed that they were happy to be able to use their real ability to the fullest.

"We'll head to the market first. Also, we'll need to use teleportation array to return back." Prince Lin Yan's lips curled up. "For teleportation array to work, it needs a lot of money and Qi."

"Should we pay?" Prince Lin San asked.

"No need. Just make sure that you four will continue to win."

They all looked at each other and then nodded. They would absolutely need to win if they wished to survive. If they ever failed even once, their journey as cultivator would be over.

"Let's go."

They headed back to the teleportation room from yesterday. Lin Xiao glanced around and noticed that the inscription was written in completely different method than the Dragon language.

His lips pursed for he understood that he would never be able to learn this method. He had to be satisfied with only learning the Dragon words that was fully embedded into his soul.

Swish!

They servants activated the teleportation array, sending them back to Pei Yue City. To be exact, to the teleportation array room that existed there. 

Prince Lin Yan glanced at them before nodding. "Have you thought what kind of sword suit you the best, Hu Xiao? Single edge, double edge, large, small, or whatever?"

Lin Xiao shook his head. He never thought much about it before. He only used weapons that he could use and didn't think whether it was suitable to him or not. As long as he could use it, it was already good enough in the past.

But now that Prince Lin Yan wanted him to pick a sword that suited him, Lin Xiao began to think about it.

His main skill was Chilling Lake Sword.

So far, he could already use up to the Sixth stance, but there was little doubt that the last three stances were not done properly. The power that his sword emitted was still far from how it was supposed to be.

It was a sword skill that relied completely on his understanding of coldness. That was why Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to his swords need.

But then Lin Xiao recalled that his body strength was a bit high. The sword he used so far felt a bit light and nearly didn't feel like a sword.

"Probably one that's a bit heavier." 

Prince Lin Yan nodded. "Anything else?"

Double edge or single edge?

For that matter, Lin Xiao was not totally sure but he thought that double edge might be better than single edge because he would be able to use both edge to attack.

"Probably double edge sword."

"Alright."

They walked to one of the weapons' store. The weapons there were priced with gold coins but upon seeing their price, Lin Xiao sucked deep breath. Even the cheapest was still at 1000 gold coins!

His own sword back then was only priced at few hundred gold coins.

"Your sword is only at the lower ranked. It can barely qualify as second grade of sword, why do you think it's so cheap?" Lin Hu snorted.

Lin Xiao had no words to retort.

Low Grade Spirit Stones worth 10,000 Gold Coins. And from the way it looked like and the prices, he could guess that sword that was at 2 grade alone was already priced between few hundreds to few thousands.

And those that was at grade 3 would be priced at several pieces of Low Grade Spirit Stones until hundreds of them.

As for grade 4… Lin Xiao could feel his eyes show red when he saw the price that was at hundreds or even thousands of Low Grade Spirit Stones.

So expensive!

"The quality of swords made in Lan Hua Kingdom is naturally better than the one at Sun Kingdom." Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao. "There are more blacksmith here compared to Sun Kingdom."

"Then, what's Sun Kingdom's advantage over Lan Hua Kingdom?"

"Hmm? Don't you know that there are more inscription masters in Sun Kingdom?" Princess Lan Yi Hua was stunned. She looked at Lin Xiao with bewilderment. "They're trying to decipher the language of Dragons but since it's not possible, they're developing the inscription."

Lin Xiao: "…" wait, the inscription there was based on Dragon words?

But they… don't look alike at all.

Inside Lin Xiao's consciousness, Lin Hu snorted. "Of course they don't look alike. Do you think that low grade cultivators like them will be able to decipher the Dragon words and used it as they wished? In their dream!"

The proud Dragon, Lin Hu, naturally didn't wish to have the dragon words' mystery to be leaked to the likes of those who were only at Golden Core Stage. What a joke, the secret belonged naturally to those who were at higher stages.

Lin Xiao was speechless but he didn't say anything anymore.

"Try this."

Prince Lin Yan handed a sword and Lin Xiao took it. He was astonished by the sheer weight. With his current power, it was a piece of cake to swing this heavy sword. Not to mention, it felt just right to him.

"It's better. How much is it?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Not much, only 40 Low Grade Spirit Stones."

That's not much?

If Lin Xiao didn't have more money thanks to the betting, he would surely be bawling his eyes out because he could only get it after a few months of saving up all of his money. Thankfully, money was not an issue.

For the time being.
