Chapter 17 Sword
  "Is this the best knife in your shop?"

Lin Yu pulled out the three knives one by one and looked at them, then asked in confusion.

"That's right!" The boy picked up one of the knives and explained enthusiastically, "Sir, look, the scabbard and handle of this Seven Treasures Shark Pattern Knife are made of fine shark skin..."

"Wait a minute." Lin Yu interrupted the boy and said, "It seems that you and I have different understandings of a good knife. I don't care how beautiful the scabbard and the handle are. What I want is that the blade is sharp and the blade is strong and strong. "

Lin Yu thought to himself that when a straight man like himself buys anything, he always looks at the parameters first. Why do you give me all these fancy gadgets?

The young man was stunned when he heard Lin Yu's words, then he came to his senses and said, "Sir, what you care about is the performance of the knife."

"That's right, it needs to be of good performance. Take it out and show it to me."

Lin Yu urged again and again.

He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask about the funerary items in the tomb just now, so after buying the knife he had to go to the black market and couldn't waste time.

"Well..." the waiter said with some hesitation: "The knives in our store all have similar performance. None of them are particularly good. I'm afraid they don't have what you want."

As he spoke, he explained: "Actually, even if you search all the blacksmith shops in Jianyang City, you will not find a knife with particularly excellent performance. There is no market for those things in the city."

"Where can I buy the knife I want?"

"You can only buy this in the towns around the major sects. Only warriors care about the performance of swords. We people in big cities don't value that."

"Okay, I get it now."

Lin Yu nodded and wanted to turn around and leave.

The young man hurriedly called to him and said, "Master, don't leave in a hurry. I have some suggestions that you might as well listen to."

"Tell me and listen." Lin Yu stopped and said.

"Sir, I don't think you are a martial arts practitioner. You may not understand the principles involved. For ordinary people, the sharper the weapon, the better. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself. Also, ah , no matter how good the knife is, you must be able to use it. People who have not practiced it do not know the correct chopping posture. If the knife tendon is not straight, it will easily destroy the knife. It is better to..."

The boy talked endlessly about sword knowledge.

Lin Yu finally figured it out. It turned out that it was his dress that caused him trouble.

If he dressed like a murderer and a hustler, this guy would definitely not sell to him things that women use, nor would he take the trouble to popularize these superficial knowledge.

"...So, sir, you'd better choose a good-looking knife, so that it suits your status."

"Okay, okay." Lin Yu waved his hand and said, "I just want a sharp knife. If you have it, sell it to me. If you don't have it, go look elsewhere."

Seeing that Lin Yu was about to leave again, the boy hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay: "Sir, don't leave in a hurry. The craftsmanship of the masters in our shop is top-notch. There is no problem in making the good knife you want, but it will take some time." .”

"how long?"

"This... we don't have ready-made knives in the store. We need to purchase them from outside. In addition, it takes at least two months for forging and polishing."

"So long? I can't wait."

Lin Yu shook his head repeatedly.

Maybe tonight the knife will see blood. Who has time to wait for you for two months?

"Forget it, take off the knife on the wall and I'll buy it."

Thinking that he still had a lot of things to do, Lin Yu didn't have time to go to other blacksmith shops, so he decided to buy a similar knife to make do.

"Okay!" Seeing that the boy couldn't convince Lin Yu to buy the three beautifully crafted knives, he thought about doing business if he could, and immediately took off the knives quickly.

"Master, this sword needs ten taels of silver." "Ten taels? Just ten taels. Wan'er will give him the money."

Lin Yu took the knife, not wanting to delay any longer, and walked out in a hurry.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw a man dressed as a warrior sitting across the street, holding a knife in his arms, and a piece of paper in front of him seemed to have words like "selling knives" written on it.

"Do you know who that person is? I don't remember seeing him when I first came here."

Lin Yu turned around and asked the boy.

The boy glanced outside the shop door and suddenly said: "It's him! He is a disciple of the Tiger Clan. His family suffered a disaster and he needed money urgently, so he wanted to sell his beloved knife. He has been there every day for the past three days. Hanging around the entrances of major blacksmith shops."

"How is his knife?" Lin Yu asked.

"The knife is a good knife, but it's not worth that much money." Seeing Lin Yu's excited look, the young man reminded: "Master, if you want to buy his knife, be sure not to bid more than 500 taels of gold."

"What? So expensive?"

"Hey, sir, people may not be willing to pay this price. The price he called out on the first day was only 1000 taels of gold. No one bought it, so he lowered the price. I don't know how much he is asking today."

"1000 taels?"

Lin Yu looked at the knife in his hand. This one only cost 10 taels of silver. However, the knife in the man's hand dared to shout out the high price of 1000 taels of gold.

Although he knows that you get what you pay for, and you get what you pay for, but the gap is too big.

It seems that the knife is not an ordinary thing, you have to see it with your own eyes.

"Thanks for the reminder." Lin Yu hugged the boy and hurried out of the store.

After arriving in front of the knife seller, Lin Yu asked, "Brother, can I take a look at your knife?"

Hearing this, the knife seller raised his face and said in a cold voice: "The price is 600 taels of gold, and we won't sell it for a penny less."

Lin Yu was stunned and said with a smile: "Brother, I can afford the money, but you have to let me know how expensive your knife is, right?"

This kind of situation of treating one's favorite things as treasures has been seen a lot on Xianyu in the past life. There are always people who want to sell second-hand goods for a brand new price.

"I am rude." The expression of the man selling the knife softened, and he stood up from the ground and said, "This knife of mine is forged from cold iron by a famous craftsman designated by our Tiger Sect. It is extremely sharp and can blow and break hair. "

As he spoke, he plucked out a piece of hair, put it on the blade of the blade and blew it gently, splitting it into two parts immediately.

Looking at the faint cold light on the blade, Lin Yu knew that even by the standards of future generations, this sword could be called a treasured sword and was indeed worth 500 taels of gold.

With this sword, his combat power will definitely rise to the next level.

"I want the knife, but 600 taels of gold is too expensive. It's cheaper."

Lin Yu bargained.

The man selling the knife looked at Lin Yu's expression and found that he was serious. He cupped his fists and said, "My surname is Yang and my name is Yuan Zheng. I am the seventeenth generation disciple of the Tiger Clan. This knife is my favorite. I will definitely not sell it if it’s less than 600 taels, please forgive me.”

"I am Lin Yu, the eldest son of the Lin family." Lin Yu also introduced himself, and then said: "Okay, I can afford 600 taels, but I have a small request. If Brother Yuan Zheng can satisfy it, I will buy it. ”

"any request?"

Yang Yuanzheng asked with a hint of joy on his face.
