Chapter 61: I Thought I Was Rich, But...

Zzz Zzz Hyonwon Kangs loud snores echoed through the room as he sprawled on his bed. His puffy, swollen face and double nosebleeds were a sight to behold.

Well, at least he hasnt broken anything.

One of Hyonwon Kangs standout qualities was his natural strength. Every day, he subjected himself to grueling workouts that would leave most people sore for days, yet hed wake up the next morning feeling fine. It was safe to say that he possessed phenomenal physical prowess.

Mnya Peng Sa-Hyuk you bastard just a bit more he mumbled in his sleep.

A bit? Its a lot more, idiot, I scolded.

After checking up on Hyonwon Kang, I moved on to the next room. There, Wiji Cheon lay fast asleep, curled up like a shrimp.

Despite being fifteen, Wiji Cheons sleeping visage resembled that of a ten-year-old boy. When I first met him, he was an insane sword demon, but now, he exuded a much more innocent aura compared to his peers.

Well, he was a pure kid even when he was in the middle of qi deviation.

Pure as in he tore apart mountain birds and sliced up rabbits while harboring no evil in his heart.

Mommy Wiji Cheon murmured, clutching the sword tightly to his chest.

If youre seeing this, you are at the wrong place.

I stared at him, assessing his talents and weaknesses. Unlike Hyonwon Kang, Wiji Cheon had a slight build with thin limbs. He was still in the midst of his growth spurt, so there was room for him to grow taller, but for now, he looked like he would have an average physique as an adult. Decent for a swordsman, but not exceptional.

Still, Wiji Cheons true talent lay not in his physique, but in his insight - the kind of insight and focus that allowed him to independently master the intricate Unlimited Sword to a fairly high level, even though it was a fake.

Above all, this boy loved the sword.

A swordsman should love swords.

Isnt that obvious?

Most swordsmen see the sword as a mere tool, a weapon for killing. They use it, but they dont really love it.

What do you mean by love the sword? Is it a matter of mindset?ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

A sword is a sword.

Master Sword Saint, Im not trying to preach here, but

A sword is a sword. If you want to understand the sword, you have to look at it every welcomes you.

I couldnt help but remember Master Sword Saint caressing his beloved sword after mercilessly killing a human without hesitation. That sword that Master Sword Saint had cherished so dearly had shattered immediately upon his death.

Mommy Daddy As if trapped in a nightmare, Wiji Cheon shuddered and clung tightly to his sword, cold sweat forming on his pale forehead.

Hes still dealing with the aftermath of his qi deviation.

Despite his cheerful facade, Wiji Cheon had only recovered from his qi deviation episode less than a month ago. While his physical health was nearly restored, the mental scars would take much longer to heal.

Nooo Im scared

I placed my hand on Wiji Cheons pale forehead and channeled some inner qi to warm him up. Its okay, its okay, I comforted.

Wiji Cheons expression eased slightly. Daddy please dont go

Dont worry, Daddy isnt going anywhere.

As I gently stroked Wiji Cheons head, he gradually drifted into a deep welcomes you.

Wow, I feel like Im raising my own child.

After ensuring that Wiji Cheon was sound asleep, I rose from my seat and stepped outside. The moonlit night enveloped me, and as I roamed the manors grounds, I thought about various things.

Master Crazy Demon and Master Sword Saint. Hyonwon Kang and Wiji Cheon.

Both possessed remarkable talents, yet upon closer inspection, they were entirely different types of prodigies. Hyonwon Kang had been blessed with extraordinary physical abilities, nerves of steel, and keen eyesight that allowed him to replicate most techniques after a single glimpse.

In contrast, Wiji Cheon possessed insight, focus, and a profound connection with the sword that enabled him to comprehend and master intricate martial arts forms. It was this affinity that made the enigmatic yet profound Unlimited Sword a perfect fit for Wiji Cheon.

At the moment, Wiji Cheon was ahead of Hyonwon Kang. However, with Kangs unwavering dedication, stamina, and foundation in the Earth Shattering Blade, the gap would surely close as he learned the Asura Blood Heaven Blade.

Most importantly, having a rival would help both of them grow.

I heaved a sigh of relief, relieved that the situation wasnt as dire as I had feared. How much are we talking about?

Well, Ive itemized everything I need and compiled it for you. This is the list of equipment and materials.

Wiji Yeol delved into his bag, producing a long list of items along with their prices.

Its not as exorbitant as I thought.

Do we really need all this? Some of this stuff seems pretty expensive.

To begin with, Meteor Iron alone is not enough to forge the sword. Its in short supply, and the swords strength comes primarily from an alloy of Meteor Iron and several other metals. In addition, well need a variety of equipment to work with different types of iron

Hey, arent you the top blacksmith of the Blood Cult? A craftsman who can create exquisite swords even in a humble forge

Wiji Yeol blinked in confusion. What do you mean? Do you think a blacksmith makes swords using only his bare hands? Its only natural that superior swords require first-class materials and conditions. In fact, the more skilled the craftsman, the more particular he is about his equipment!

This is a non-profit translation. Ads? What ads?

Trust me, if you can secure these items, I will forge a masterpiece that will undoubtedly surpass the Blood Demon Sword

Wiji Yeols expression turned sour. This is way too much, huh I understand. In that case, Ill cut back on a few things and just leave the essentials

No, dont skimp on your craft. I shook my head. To produce the finest work, one needed the finest materials and environment. Leave the list as it is. Ill procure everything you need.

Thank you. And I apologize

No need to apologize, I have the means, I replied, grinning sheepishly.

Well, at least, until this point, I believed I had the means.

The next day, I put on my Heo Cheon disguise and went to meet Bok Man-Chun.

Greetings, Young Master.

Y arent you reading this at ?

Long time no see, Mr. Bok.

During this absence, Bok Man-Chun seemed to have gained weight. Where he had once been rugged and exuded a rough demeanor, he now resembled an older man with a bulging belly.

Noticing my scrutiny, Bok Man-Chun coughed and apologized, hastily covering his stomach with his hand. Ive been busy lately, so I havent had time to train

For a martial artist, admitting that one hadnt trained was a big problem. I briefly entertained the thought, but Bok Man-Chun wasnt my bodyguard; he was my business administrator, overseeing my various companies and collecting the profits.

I handed him the list of items Id received from Wiji Yeol. I would like to purchase these items.

Bok Man-Chun scanned the list and looked at the prices. His face quickly darkened. These items are quite expensive.

I plan to expand the forge a bit this time. You know the new old man upstairs, right? Hes a very skilled blacksmith.

Ah, yes Would you mind if it takes some time?

The sooner, the better.

Bok Man-Chuns expression didnt brighten, but I wasnt too worried. I brought up the next issue. Additionally, I need you to acquire some elixirs, similar to what you did in the past, but this time I need a lot more

I have to be honest with you, Young Master. Bok Man-Chun suddenly pulled out a ledger and handed it to me.

Why are you giving me this now

We have no money.

What do you mean? Havent I only recently inherited the wealth of Old Man Heo, one of the top ten loan sharks in Nanchang?

To put it simply, were broke. Bok Man-Chun said, unfolding the ledger in front of me.
