71: Shocked Liu Yi! Black iron broadsword!
“Rest assured, little friend, our Liu Family Blacksmith Shop is definitely the best blacksmith shop in Dengfeng County.”
“If you come to us, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.”
Liu Yi said confidently, then pointed to several wooden shelves around the room.
“You've come at just the right time!”
“Here are the high-quality weapons that have been polished in the past month.”
Lu Xuan looked intently, without the slightest bit of politeness, walked forward, and went straight to a shelf filled with sabers.
Then, Lu Xuan reached out and casually picked up a good saber; its blade was smooth and flat, radiating cold light!
It was quite good.
The shopkeeper of this blacksmith shop indeed wasn't exaggerating.
This great saber, like the one at his waist, was made from the same fine iron.
However, Lu Xuan was not satisfied with this.
Even such a good saber would only be enough for him to use for a period of time; it couldn't withstand the power of the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique.
“Shopkeeper Liu, do you have any better sabers here?”
“For example, sabers that can withstand high-temperature scorching.”
Lu Xuan's words left Liu Yi puzzled.
All the sabers on the shelves were weapons that could withstand high-temperature scorching!
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was someone Shen Yuan knew, Liu Yi would have suspected that someone was here to cause trouble.
“High-temperature scorching?”
“Little friend, don't all sabers withstand high-temperature scorching?”
“Moreover, the great saber you are holding is already the best among this batch of sabers.”
“Could it be that this still can't meet your needs, little friend?”
Lu Xuan had no intention of hiding anything; he put the great saber he was holding back and spoke directly.
“It's not enough. I also have this kind of saber. I just want to find a saber that is better than this one.”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Liu Yi could even open his mouth, Lu Xuan quickly took the great saber from his waist.
A great saber appeared before Shen Yuan and Liu Yi.
The blade gleamed in the sunlight, but there was a scorched black area in the middle of the blade.
Moreover, that scorched black area on the blade had tiny cracks, as if it had suffered unimaginable damage.
“This…”
When he saw the great saber in Lu Xuan's hand, Liu Yi was instantly speechless.
He hadn't expected that what this little friend said was true and that he wasn't trying to deceive him.
Because he had been forging weapons for most of his life, he could tell at a glance.
The quality of the great saber in Lu Xuan's hand was indeed that of a high-quality saber.
“It seems I've misunderstood you, little friend.”
Liu Yi had an embarrassed expression, then looked at Lu Xuan doubtfully and said, “Little friend, would it be convenient for you to tell me how you did it?”
Sabers are used for self-defense, so how could this little friend's saber be scorched by terrifying flames, to the point that even fine iron couldn't withstand such high temperatures?
He was truly curious how Lu Xuan did it.
Shen Yuan, standing by, also looked at Lu Xuan with great curiosity; it was his first time seeing such a saber.
In his impression, weren't sabers just for cutting people?
“Shopkeeper Liu, do you have any better sabers here?”
“If not, then I'll take that saber from before.”
Lu Xuan had no intention of performing the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique to satisfy their curiosity.
Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't explain the reason, Liu Yi's curiosity grew even more intense, almost magnified dozens of times.
Then, Liu Yi gritted his teeth, as if he had thought of something, and promised Lu Xuan.
“Little friend, yes!”
“I do have a saber here that is better than any of these.”
“But you must answer the question in my heart.”
“Why does your saber have traces of being burned by a great fire, and to the extent that even fine iron can be scorched black?”
“Hmm?”
Lu Xuan looked at Liu Yi with some surprise; he had underestimated the other party's curiosity.
He hadn't expected that the other party really had a saber better than those forged from fine iron.
However, the other party also wanted him to demonstrate why the blade had traces of being scorched by a great fire.
Never mind!
Anyway, this saber could only be used a few more times, so he might as well show him.
The next second, before Liu Yi and Shen Yuan could even react.
Inside the room, the air, which had been cool, suddenly became unbearably hot, as if they were in a suffocating, high-temperature furnace.
A terrifying crimson flame appeared on the great saber in Lu Xuan's hand.
On the blade, crimson flames burned fiercely, and the dazzling firelight reflected on Liu Yi and Shen Yuan's faces.
Under the boundless, bright crimson firelight, Liu Yi and Shen Yuan looked at Lu Xuan as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, utterly bewildered.
Especially Liu Yi; he considered himself a Martial Artist of the Marrow Refinement Realm, yet under this wisp of firelight, he actually felt a sense of trembling.
He knew this feeling best; it was the despair one only felt in that instant of impending death.
Of course, after a few breaths, Lu Xuan retracted his Inner Energy.
The terrifying, high-temperature crimson flames on the blade came and went in a hurry.
The great saber in Lu Xuan's hand returned to its normal state again.
However, if one looked closely, the scorched marks on the blade had grown a bit larger, almost occupying one-third of the blade's surface.
“Little friend, you…”
“Xuan Ge!”
Shen Yuan and Liu Yi had recovered, looking at Lu Xuan with complex expressions.
Their eyes held unparalleled shock, as if their worldviews had collapsed.
Shen Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart; he had thought he could catch up to Lu Xuan's back.
He hadn't expected that Xuan Ge had already reached a place he could never catch up to in his lifetime.
Liu Yi looked deeply at Lu Xuan, then spoke again, his tone carrying a hint of reverence.
“Little friend, your Martial Dao talent is unparalleled, truly something I have never seen in my life!”
When Liu Yi was young, he had traveled extensively and met countless Geniuses, but he had never seen such a peerless Prodigy as Lu Xuan.
From that terrifying flame just now, Lu Xuan's strength was definitely stronger than his, even far exceeding his imagination.
A Martial Artist of the Blood Refinement Realm?
Is there truly such a peerless Genius of the Blood Refinement Realm at such a young age in this world?
He hadn't expected that he would actually encounter one.
No wonder that kid Shen Yuan was so honest; so that's how it is.
“Little friend, please wait a moment, I will go get it for you immediately.”
Liu Yi seemed to remember something and quickly ran out, at a surprisingly fast speed.
In less than fifteen minutes, Liu Yi reappeared, holding a great saber wrapped in a scabbard.
Then, Liu Yi directly drew the great saber from the scabbard.
The great saber appeared before Lu Xuan's eyes; it was a silver-white great saber, its blade reflecting a shimmering white light.
“This is!”
“Profound Iron?”
Lu Xuan recognized the material of the great saber at a glance.
Wasn't the Profound Iron material of this great saber exactly the same as the Profound Iron arrows he had encountered at Liansheng Temple?
