Free Web NovelChapter 1432: Chapter 1518: Treasure Sword Presented to a Hero
He didn’t expect Su Xuan to recognize it so quickly, it sure wasn’t simple.
"Haha, old master, this sword of yours shouldn’t be made of iron, right?"
Su Xuan actually knew that channeling Dark Strength into iron was possible, but it was only for transmission purposes. In fact, through his own knowledge, Su Xuan felt weapons primarily divided into two categories.
One is the sharp weapon; the sharpness of the weapons crafted by the old master is excellent, and this level of sharpness cannot be compared with a Melted Sword.
Melted Swords are more like beautiful but hollow inside; even cutting bamboo might easily cause the edge to roll.
Another type of weapon is known as the Divine Weapon, which no longer stays at the level of sharpness. The so-called Divine Sword possesses spirituality, as if a sword has its own Spiritual Energy.
What’s most valuable about such a sword, besides the crafting technique, is its material.
"Little brother, you truly are an expert!"
The old master seemed very excited; as he approached the painting and lifted it slowly, Su Xuan saw a longsword that looked exactly like the one in the painting appear before him. Just by looking at it, Su Xuan could feel that the sword seemed to carry its own Spiritual Energy.
"I named this sword the Heroic Sword. I spent ten years with my son crafting it! It’s not made of iron, but of a kind of meteorite. Little brother, this sword is yours from now on!"
Ximen Changfeng said, holding the sword with both hands, very respectfully handing it over to Su Xuan.
"This won’t do, old master Ximen, this is too precious!"
Even though Su Xuan really liked the sword, he felt it was indeed too precious. Not to mention the material, but the fact it took ten years to craft makes it a priceless treasure. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Su Xuan could see that the sword’s scabbard and the steel patterns were extremely refined; it was not just a sword but a valuable piece of art.
Su Xuan considered himself not to have a deep relationship with Ximen Changfeng; the debt of gratitude was indeed too deep.
Su Xuan felt if the old master were to casually give him a sword, he could still accept, but this sword was simply too precious, making it genuinely difficult for him to accept.
"Little brother, I know you must think I am being abrupt. To be honest, a simple person with a treasure could bear guilt; years ago, a master told me this sword needs to find someone destined to have it. I’ve never quite understood, but over these years I’ve gradually realized this is because not everyone is blessed to bear it, and a common person with such a sword might invite disaster."
Ximen Changfeng sighed deeply.
Su Xuan nodded. He actually quite understood this, for such a sword is too precious; without certain skills, it would definitely invite trouble from others.
Just like in Jin Yong’s books, in "Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," without sufficient strength, obtaining the Heavenly Sword or Dragon Slayer Blade would only cause disaster.
"Little brother, the old master and I are not familiar, but I can tell you’re one of a kind. Your ability to sense the Heroic Sword so quickly is not solely due to your Heart of Heroism but your capability to handle it. To be honest, if this sword remains in the Ximen Family, it might bring devastating calamity, so by accepting it, little brother, you are actually aiding the Ximen Family!"
Ximen Changfeng spoke earnestly.
Su Xuan nodded. He knew what this meant; indeed, ten years were spent crafting this sword, and its material was very special. If it were known, it would certainly cause a sensation, although it’s not the era of martial arts anymore, this kind of thing remains valuable.
"Alright, old master, I’ll accept the sword. I, Su Xuan, owe you a favor!"
The old master said accepting the sword was Su Xuan helping him, but Su Xuan knew deep down he truly owed a favor. Especially if measured in money, it was indeed priceless.
Upon hearing Su Xuan agreed to take it, the old master was overjoyed, genuinely happy, and got a box to help Su Xuan store the Heroic Sword. Su Xuan holding the sword, the two left the Sword Pavilion.
"Old master, I still say, I, Su Xuan, owe you a favor. If the Ximen Family faces trouble, notify the Heroic Manor!"
Su Xuan spoke earnestly; he knew there’s no free lunch. The act of gifting such a Divine Sword must have personal reasons, and while the Ximen Family is a Sword Casting Family, they’re not a martial arts family. Building a good relationship with Su Xuan is undoubtedly beneficial.
"Yes, thank you!"
Looking at Su Xuan, the old master nodded. With Su Xuan’s promise, he was very pleased, thinking he didn’t entrust the sword to the wrong person.
Today, Ximen Changfeng was very happy; at the wine table, he felt an instant connection with Su Xuan. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Su Xuan finished eating at around eight; outside, snow had accumulated, and a ringtone came from Su Xuan’s phone. Checking, it was a message from Xue Mengxue.
"Big Brother Su, be careful driving back; the road is icy!"
Seeing the message, Su Xuan felt warm inside, stood up, and said.
"Old master, I’ll leave now. I shall visit again some other day!"
Su Xuan truly felt grateful towards Ximen Changfeng, after all, the gift was undeniably valuable. Not just any gift but a Divine Weapon crafted over ten years, not something given away lightly.
Su Xuan admired Ximen Changfeng’s courage and appreciated his demeanor. He knew that for the old master, giving the sword was undoubtedly the best choice, though many might understand this truth, yet sparehes.
"Great, little brother, remember to inform me if you visit again someday. I’ll have the kitchen prepare in advance, sorry for the sparse fare today!"
"Old master, you’re too kind!"
Su Xuan took the sword box and slowly walked out the door. As he exited, he frowned slightly, thinking that was quick.
"Little brother, let me walk you out!"
Ximen Changfeng put on a coat, said very politely.
"Old master, has the Heroic Sword seen blood?"
Su Xuan suddenly asked curiously.
"Ah... not yet!"
The old master was somewhat puzzled about what Su Xuan meant by that, why suddenly say this.
"Haha, seems the Heroic Sword needs to start seeing blood now!"
