Chapter 48 - 47: Beyond the Mountains of Pingling County
Unfortunately, on Xuanxing, the controls on such knives are far too strict. Especially after the promotion of Martial Arts, rigorous inspections have become commonplace. Now, in Xia Country, the only knives readily available are likely fruit knives and kitchen knives.
Those types of knives are hardly powerful enough, Jiang Shu thought, shaking his head. He looked at the dagger, his voice low. "How much?"
The vendor looked up but didn’t say much. With a wave of his hand, a burst of force resonated.
He was clearly a Martial Artist!
He picked up the dagger and lightly pressed it against his own arm. Instantly, a trickle of blood seeped out.
"It can pierce Iron Skin. Thirty taels of silver, non-negotiable."
The price is definitely steep, Jiang Shu mused, but I don’t have many other options right now. Thirty taels of silver isn’t an exorbitant sum for me at present. The most important thing now is to enhance my strength. This dagger is just a temporary tool. Once I safely reach the Skin Grinding Realm, I can come to the black market by myself. I’ll rent a stall and sell some of those synthetic diamonds and glass mirrors from Xuanxing. As long as I keep my identity secret and sell them for a high price before disappearing, a hundred taels of gold could be mine overnight.
Putting the dagger away, Jiang Shu continued his thoughts as he unconsciously circled the plaza before meeting up with Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan now carried a bulging, mysterious bundle.
"Shall we go?" Qi Yuan asked concisely. He didn’t ask what Jiang Shu had seen or bought.
"Mhm," Jiang Shu nodded.
