"Master Zhang, is this broken sword all youre buying?"

  Qin Ya walked up to Zhang Ruochen, her plump and delicate body almost touching his as she stood beside him, emitting a captivating fragrance from her body.

  Zhang Ruochen slowly came back to his senses from his thoughts of the past life, and as soon as he lifted his head, he saw a large expanse of Qin Yas snow-white skin exposed on her chest, although it was covered by clothes, but still looked extremely alluring.

  Zhang Ruochens eyes locked, slightly gasping for breath, his heart racing wildly, he immediately pinched the tip of his finger, forcing himself to shift his gaze away, staring at the sword hanging on the wall.

  With a calm and focused mind, Zhang Ruochen pointed at the azure-colored battle sword and said: "Boss lady, what level is this true martial treasure sword?"

  Qin Yas eyes showed a hint of disappointment again, saying: "That is a four-stage true martial treasure, called the Flash Soul Sword. The sword body has fourteen inscriptions, which are four power system inscriptions, four ice system inscriptions, four electric system inscriptions, and two light system inscriptions. It can be said that it has three special properties, namely ice, electricity, and light."

  Generally speaking, there is only one inscription in a first-class true martial treasure.

  Only when the number of inscriptions reaches ten or more can it be considered a fourth-order true martial treasure.

  The patterns on the Zhenwu treasure instrument, with each additional layer, the power will increase to varying degrees. Moreover, depending on the attributes of the pattern, the Zhenwu treasure instrument will also exhibit different attributes, suitable for different warriors.

  For example, a warrior who activates the Scarlet Flame God Seal, has a fierce flame energy in their bodys true energy, and when using fire-type True Martial Treasures, they can exert even stronger power.

  "How much?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

  "Thirty thousand silver coins." Qin Ya said.

  "Its a good buy"

  Zhang Ruochen held the "Soul Flash Sword" in one hand and the "Abyss Ancient Sword" in the other, hastily striding towards the outside of the armory.

  Being alone with this charming boss was too dangerous, and Zhang Ruochen couldnt hold on either.

  Anyway, he has already recovered the Submerged Ancient Sword, so buying another genuine Wu Bao-level battle sword is completely sufficient for his current stage.

  "Escaped quite quickly, hehe, sisters palm heart, how can you escape from now on, theres something to play with." Qin Ya showed a hint of a charming smile, and her interest in Zhang Ruochen deepened.

  When Zhang Ruochen and Qin Ya entered the armory, an elderly shopkeeper from Qingxuan Pavilion led a man and a woman to the outside of the armory.

  The man and woman seemed to be of noble status, even the older shopkeeper bowed slightly in front of them, with a flattering smile.

  That young man was Zhang Ruochens eighth brother, also known as the Eighth Prince of Yunwu State, Zhang Ji.

  The woman who accompanied Zhang Ji was one of the four great beauties of Yunwu County, the beloved daughter of the master of the Chi Yun Sect, Shan Xiangqian.

  Dan Xianglians temperament is outstanding, as elegant and refined as a lily, looking like shes sixteen or seventeen years old, with bright eyes, slender figure, and wherever she goes, she will definitely be the most eye-catching one.

  Hachioji smiled and said, "Mother has instructed me that since its your first time in Wang City, I must take good care of you. The Qingxuan Pavilion is one of the largest shops in the martial city, so if you see any weapon that catches your eye, just let me know."

  The mother of the Eighth Princess, Xiao Fei, was once a disciple of the Chi Yun Sect and was the junior sister of the sect master.

  So, Hachioji calls Shan Xiangqian "Shi Mei" (younger sister).

  Xiangxiang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Eighth Prince. Actually, I came to the Imperial City this time mainly to see the geniuses of the Imperial City, especially the number one genius of Yunwu County, Seventh Prince. I have heard his great name many times and admire him very much. Many female disciples of the Chi Yun Sect worship him, but unfortunately, its hard to even get a chance to see him once."

  "If Seventh Brother were in the royal city, I could help you fulfill your wish. Unfortunately, Sister arrived at the wrong time, and Seventh Brother is not in the royal city."

  A hint of disappointment appeared in Shan Xiangliangs eyes, and he said: "I remember that the royal familys year-end assessment is a grand occasion second only to the sacrificial ceremony. Wont even the Seventh Prince return?"

  Hachioji smiled and said, "Seventh brother was the top scorer in the year-end assessment at the age of ten. I think theres no value for him to participate in the year-end assessment anymore. However, the year-end assessment is indeed a grand event, only young disciples under the age of twenty from the royal family and various noble families can participate. Seventh brother might come back too. If you want to attend this grand event, Ill definitely get an admission ticket for you."

  "Then thank you again, Your Highness of Hachioji," said Shan Xiangqian with a smile.

  While talking to Hachigoro and Tanokichi in Yorii, the older shopkeeper walked up to Hanzo and said, "Hanzo, who went into the armory? Why is the door of the armory closed?"

  The silly boys expression was somewhat strange, and he said in a low voice: "Its the bosss wife and a young gentleman."

  The old shopkeeper was also slightly startled, took a deep breath and muttered to himself: "The bosss wife is really capable of causing someones death"

  Hachioji and Hana-yakko also overheard the conversation between the old shopkeeper and the fool.

  Dan Xiangling asked in surprise: "Could it be that Qingxuan Pavilion would still commit murder and robbery?"

  Hachioji shook his head and said, "This isnt just about the rumors surrounding this landlady, its said that she is extremely beautiful, any man who sees her will definitely fall under her spell."

  "There are also rumors that the old lady boss is ruthless and merciless, with a heart of stone, and many men have died at her hands."

  "There are also rumors that the female boss is actually very promiscuous, having kept many men. Moreover, she likes to abuse men, and many men have had their hands chopped off and eyes dug out by her."

  "Of course, these are just rumors, and this prince has never seen that boss lady, nor does he know what kind of woman she is."

  After being told by Hachioji, Shan Xiangqiang didnt have much of a good impression of that old lady boss either.

  In broad daylight, accompanied by a man, she entered the armory alone and closed the door. Its obvious what happened without even guessing.

  That woman boss is definitely not a good woman. The man who was taken into the armory by the woman boss also makes people feel disgusted.

  "Whoosh"

  The door of the armory was pushed open, and Zhang Ruochen rushed out with two war swords in his arms. Seeing the Eighth Prince standing far away, a hint of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

  Hachioji saw Zhang Ruochen walking out of the door of the armory, and was slightly surprised. His eyes immediately became very cold, "Ninth brother, why are you also here at Qingxuan Hall? This is not a place you should be."

  Upon hearing the title of Hachioji for Zhang Ruochen, both Dumb and the older shopkeeper were slightly startled. This young master Zhang indeed had a great background, being the son of the Yunwu Duke.

  At the same time, they also let out a long sigh of relief, fortunately, the boss didnt lay hands on him. If something had happened to Ninth Prince in Qingxuan Hall, Qingxuan Hall would probably have to close down tomorrow.

  Duan Xiangliang had also heard some rumors about the Ninth Prince, who was said to be the only one among the nine princes who couldnt unlock the Divine Martial Seal, a useless good-for-nothing.

  She didnt intentionally ask about Zhang Ruochen, so she didnt know that Zhang Ruochen had already activated the Divine Martial Mark half a month ago.

  How can such a waste of a prince come out of the armory?

  Could it be

  Thinking of what Hachioji said earlier, Shan Xiangqians gaze fell on Zhang Ruochen once again, and her eyes added a few more hints of disdain.

  Zhang Ruochen slightly furrowed his brow, looking somewhat displeased, and said: "If you can come to Qingxuan Hall, why cant I?"

  The Eighth Prince sneered and said, "I came to the Qingxuan Pavilion to buy a weapon, what are you doing here? Can you afford a true martial treasure-level sword like this? Where did the two swords in your hand come from?"

  Zhang Ruochen felt inexplicably annoyed and bluntly said: "Youre meddling too much, my sword, even if I picked it up, what does it have to do with you?"

  "Stop right there!" The Eighth Princes deep voice commanded, "Your innate talent for cultivation is poor, so just stay in the palace and be honest with yourself. Dont come out and do something shameful, or else I, the prince, will break your legs on behalf of my father."

  Zhang Ruochen couldnt understand what Hachioji was saying more and more, and said in a low voice: "Do you have that skill?"

  Hearing this, Prince Hachijo was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

  He clasped his palms together and wiggled his ten fingers, laughing: "Today, Ninth Brother, Ill let you see what it means to have real skills."

  Zhang Ruochen stood tall and upright, his eyes calm, his five fingers clenched together, the true energy inside his body began to flow through the six meridians.

  If we must fight, then lets fight.

  "Hehe, Eighth Prince, what are you trying to do? This is the Qingxuan Pavilion, not the palace. Ninth Prince is a noble guest of the Qingxuan Pavilion, and if anyone dares to make a move against him here, I will have to intervene." Qin Ya walked out of the armory with a sly smile on her face.

  Hachioji saw Qin Ya and also showed a surprised expression, his heart slightly fluttering.

  If it werent for Shan Xiang standing beside him, keeping his nerves taut and preventing him from doing anything out of line, he would have been completely unable to remain calm in the face of a seductress like Qin Ya.

  The Eighth Prince averted his gaze and coldly stared at Zhang Ruochen, saying: "Hmph, youve disgraced the royal familys face completely"

  In Hachiojis view, Zhang Ruochen couldnt afford a true Wu Bao-level battle sword. He must have become the young master of Qingxuan Pavilion to get those two swords.

  Serve the old lady of Qingxuan Pavilion with her own body in exchange for resources to cultivate martial arts.

  Actually, San Xianglians idea standing by was about the same as Hachioji.

  "Alas, both are sons of the Yunwu Duke, why can the Seventh Prince become the Supreme Heavens Pride, while this Ninth Prince is willing to be a plaything for a licentious woman? One is a dragon in the clouds, one is a worm in the mud." Xiangxiang Qing gazed at Zhang Ruochen and shook her head lightly, sighing.

  Zhang Ruochen had no idea what the Eighth Prince was talking about, and he didnt bother to waste his breath on idle chatter. With two war swords in hand, he headed towards the outer courtyard of Qingxuan Hall.

  Qin Ya had already become a spirit and seemed to have seen some clues, understanding what Hachiko and Shan Xiangqian were thinking in their hearts.

  She slightly hooked the corner of her mouth, and a hint of pure color flashed in her eyes. She called out: "Your Highness, Ninth Prince, from now on, come to my place often, I will definitely treat you well. If you want other cultivation resources, just come find me, hehe."
