Chapter 18: Green Spirit Mud
Evergreen Hall, the annex for Spirit Fish.
"Lad, half a year has passed, and you're back to sell fish again?"
An elder, whose face seemed familiar, stroked his grizzled beard, his eyes squinting with a smile: "That's the Green Carp Sword on your back, right? Not bad at all, you've got quite the flair of a Sword Cultivator, just like I had back in the day!"
Li Quanqing, patting the treasured sword on his back, raised his eyebrows with pride: "Your elder's eyesight is really sharp, I've just bought this magic artifact. I even sleep with it, preparing to nurture an invincible Sword Heart!"
"Yo! My dear nephew, where did you strike it rich?"
"Sword Qi bursting forth, irresistibly sharp, I feel like I'm witnessing the rise of a peerless Sword Cultivator!"
"See, my dear granddaughter, didn't grandpa tell you? Even as a fish farmer, one can save enough Spirit Stones to buy a Flying Sword!"
For a moment, the fishy smell in the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Magic artifacts all have a break-in period; one needs to constantly foster them with Mana to be as adept with them as with one's own limb.
It's certainly not me, Mr. Li, showing off on purpose.
After selling the big Green Carps, another 20.24 Spirit Stones were credited to the account.
