Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

"What's more, you don't even realize what time it is now."

"It's already evening, and the number of pedestrians on the streets has gradually decreased with the passage of time."

"Moreover, the person you mentioned has left no trace. To find him now..."

"I'm afraid it would be as hard as reaching the heavens!"

...

Inside the tavern.

Luo Ze and Luo Yao chatted idly while waiting for the dishes and drinks to be served.

About an hour later,

several plates of aromatic beef and mutton were brought forth by a woman, along with a pot of fine-looking wine.

"Sir, here are the dishes and drinks you ordered." The woman placed the items on the table and spoke softly to the two men.

Hearing this, Luo Ze nodded.

He then picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Seeing this, Luo Yao also grabbed his chopsticks and started eating.

After dining and drinking to their satisfaction, they stood up silently, paid the silver coins, and walked out of the tavern.

Although, as the Young Master Luo of the Luo Family of Qingshi City, Luo Yao quite fancied taking a brief rest overnight in the tavern.

But alas...

Such is the discipline he maintains.

This self-control was truly at its maximum.

...

Under the night sky,

the lanterns hanging by the roadside gradually lit up,

illuminating the streets of Weiqing City brightly.

"Brother, where should we head next?" Luo Yao asked Luo Ze, looking at him.

"Let's stroll around the city first," Luo Ze replied nonchalantly, "and meanwhile, think of a way to find that person."

"Alright." Luo Yao nodded and then kept silent.

The two walked along the streets, occasionally passing by other pedestrians.

About an hour later, Luo Ze and Luo Yao came to a bustling area.

Here, the lights were bright.

Various small stalls adorned both sides of the street, selling all sorts of items.

As they walked, Luo Ze and Luo Yao casually looked around.

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice slowly reached their ears.

"Black Iron Fine Steel Sword, top quality, incredibly sharp. Sir, why not buy one?"

Hearing this, Luo Ze was drawn to the vendor's voice, so he and Luo Yao silently looked in the direction from which the voice originated.

They saw an elderly man sitting at a stall, with a fine-looking longsword displayed.

"Black Iron Fine Steel Sword?" Luo Yao walked up slowly and asked the elderly man, "How much for this sword?"

Upon hearing this, the elderly man raised his head and gave Luo Yao a plain look.

With that one look, the elderly man was slightly startled by the young man before him.

Naturally, he could tell that the clothing worn by the young man was of considerable value.

Clearly, this was a wealthy young lord, likely someone from a rich household within Weiqing City.

And such affluent individuals often exhibited generous spending habits.

Thus, upon seeing Luo Ze and Luo Yao, the elderly man had already decided to take advantage of them.

"Five thousand silver coins, and not a coin less," the elderly man stated flatly.

Hearing this, Luo Yao unconsciously furrowed his brows.

Meanwhile, Luo Ze, who was also carrying a longsword at his waist, couldn't help but show a slightly unusual expression in his eyes.

Five thousand silver coins for a price...

Wasn't that a bit outrageous?

Although, for the Luo Family of Qingshi City or even for these two coming from the Qingshi City Luo Family, material wealth had lost its significance.

However, this did not mean that they were ready to simply accept being swindled.

...

"The Black Iron Fine Steel Sword is indeed quite sharp, but isn't it worth five thousand silver coins?"

Luo Yao looked at the elder and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, the elder merely smiled slightly and then said softly, "Young Master, this Black Iron Fine Steel Sword is not an ordinary item; it is a treasure that has been passed down through generations in my family."

"It's only because of some difficulties in my family right now that I have to sell it."

"If you feel that the sword isn't worth the price, then let's call it quits."

Saying so, the elder stopped paying attention to Luo Yao and continued to look down at the items on his stall.

Luo Yao, upon hearing this, frowned slightly but said nothing more.

At this point, Luo Ze slowly walked forward.

He picked up the longsword casually and began to examine it closely.

This examination lasted for nearly an hour.

During this time, it appeared that the elder had already forgotten about the two of them.

After all, he believed that these two young men were unlikely to buy the sword.

About an hour later,

Luo Ze slowly put down the longsword he was holding.

He looked at the elder and said softly, "I'll buy this sword."

Upon hearing this, the elder was slightly startled.

Luo Yao was also taken aback.

They had not expected Luo Ze to decide to buy the sword.

"Young brother, are you sure?" the elder asked, looking at him with some surprise.

"Yes," Luo Ze nodded, then he took out a bar of highly pure gold from his chest and placed it directly into the elder's hand.

The elder held the gold in his hand somewhat bewilderedly.

Then he looked at the longsword in his hand.

And then at Luo Ze and Luo Yao.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

These days, it's really hard to predict the world!

...

Carrying the Black Iron Fine Steel Sword, Luo Ze and Luo Yao left the place.

"What are you buying this sword for?" After walking for a while, Luo Yao looked at Luo Ze beside him and asked.

"I feel this sword is extraordinary," replied Luo Ze softly, "so I bought it."

"Extraordinary?" Luo Yao, upon hearing this, couldn't help but be startled.

He then somewhat incredulously said, "It looks very ordinary to me; what's extraordinary about it?"

"I feel that this sword could very well be something left from ancient times..." Luo Ze looked at the longsword in his hand and spoke slowly.

"What did you discover?" Luo Yao asked, looking at him.

"There's a special pattern on the blade of the sword," Luo Ze said softly, "I have seen this pattern before."

"I once saw this pattern in an ancient tome."

"This ancient tome was obtained by my father and me from the ruins of an ancient city."

"After obtaining the tome, I deeply studied its content."

"And this pattern on the blade of the Black Iron Fine Steel Sword is quite similar to a very unique pattern described in that ancient tome."

"So, I suspect that the origin of this sword is not simple."

Saying this, he handed the longsword to Luo Yao.

Luo Yao took the longsword and carefully examined the pattern on it.

Upon examining, he found the pattern indeed quite extraordinary.

It was an intricate pattern, and each line seemed to tell an ancient and mysterious story.

After about another half an hour, Luo Yao slowly raised his head and handed the longsword back to Luo Ze.

"Indeed, it's not simple," Luo Yao looked at him and said slowly, "This sword must indeed be something left from ancient times."

"Moreover, the quality of this sword doesn't seem like what the elder claimed," Luo Yao said softly.

"Quality?" Luo Ze frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"I once saw this pattern in an ancient tome," Luo Yao looked at him and spoke slowly, "This pattern is a unique artifact refining technique of a very famous Artifact Refining Master from the ancient times."

"Any Artifact Refiner who could use this pattern was among the top-tier in that era."

"So, I suspect, the origin of this sword is quite extraordinary."
