Manager Qian raised an eyebrow when he heard that.
He looked at Wang Ye and said, "That won't do!"
"You're a money-grubber who goes back on your words and raises the price …"
"I'm not going to fall for your tricks …"
He rummaged through the counter as he spoke.
He then took out seven banknotes worth 1,000 taels each and handed them to Wang Ye. "I'll tell you why after we're done with the goods."
"That won't do!"
Wang Ye looked at Manager Qian and said, "I'm a money-grubber who goes back on my words and raises the price …"
"Reckless Qian, you're not a good person either …"
"I don't know how many times you've treated the foreigners as fools and slaughtered them to death …"
"How do I know that the total value of these two swords isn't more than 7,000 taels?!"
"What if I lose money?"
"If you don't fall for my tricks, I won't fall for yours!"
Wang Ye's face was filled with disdain.
Hiss!
Manager Qian sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard Wang Ye's words.
He looked at Wang Ye's disdainful expression and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, he said helplessly, "Alright, I'll tell you …"
"It's nothing. It's just an incomplete sword …"
"An incomplete sword?"
Wang Ye was stunned when he heard that.
"That's right!"
Manager Qian nodded. He brushed his finger across the sword and said, "The original intention of this sword was to be an emperor's sword …"
"That's why there are 16 words engraved on the sword …"
"It's a pity that the owner of this sword has yet to ascend to the throne. As a result, the sword's heart is dead and its power is greatly reduced …"
"Otherwise, this would be a sword of the Emperor's Path!"
With that, Shopkeeper Qian flicked his finger on the Heavenly Plan Sword.
Buzz!
In an instant, the Heavenly Plan Sword vibrated.
The sound was crisp and clear.
It sounded like the sword's heart was wailing.
Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat when he heard Manager Qian's words.
An incomplete emperor's sword …
Wasn't this exactly the same as what happened to Dragon Chief and the others?
Thinking of this, Wang Ye seemed to understand.
It was no wonder that Dragon Head and the others would also appear at the Nine Dragons Lake to search for this sword.
After all this time, this was the reason …
"Can you sell it now?"
Just as Wang Ye was deep in thought, Shopkeeper Qian's voice rang out, "A Sword of the Emperor's Dao with a dead sword heart …"
"Five thousand taels isn't a small sum!"
"Take the banknotes and leave quickly. Don't disturb my business!"
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Qian's face was already filled with impatience.
"Qian Boorish …"
Hearing Manager Qian's words, Wang Ye smiled, "Let's discuss something …"
"These two swords, do you want to add some more silver?"
"I knew it!"
As soon as Wang Ye said this, Manager Qian said, "You money-grubber Wang are the kind of people who raise prices on the spot!"
"I'm not the one raising the price!"
Looking at Shopkeeper Qian's reaction, Wang Ye straightened his neck and said seriously, "Look at this sword. It was forged to be the Sword of the Emperor …"
"But it didn't become the Sword of the Emperor. How wronged is this sword?"
"A dead person still cares about getting what he wants …"
"Why don't you add some silver and give this sword some dignity?"
"Just treat it as doing a good deed …"
As he spoke, Wang Ye's face revealed a wretched smile.
"Bah!"
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Shopkeeper Qian spat, "Give this sword some dignity …"
"Is that dignity for the sword or for you?"
"You money-grubber Wang have ulcers on your head and pus on your feet. You're completely rotten …"
"Go go go, I don't want this sword anymore!"
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Qian stretched out his hand to take back the banknotes.
"Don't!"
Seeing Shopkeeper Qian's actions, Wang Ye said, "I'm just joking with you."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"7,000 it is. I don't think it's too little!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye grabbed the banknotes and ran out of the Quenching Workshop like a wisp of smoke.
"What the hell!"
Looking at Wang Ye's back as he left, Shopkeeper Qian cursed under his breath, "He acted like he saw something when he saw money …"
As he spoke, he curled his lips.
He picked up the Heavenly Policy and Taiping Swords on the table.
He carefully examined them in his hands.
"Uncle Cheng, isn't 7,000 taels a little too expensive for these two swords?"
At this moment, the young man beside him said, "After all, the sword's heart is dead. Its power is greatly reduced …"
"Child, you're wrong …"
Before the young man could finish speaking, Shopkeeper Qian said, "Although the sword's heart is dead, the Emperor's Qi is still there …"
"And because the sword's heart is dead, it has become a good sword embryo …"
"With this sword as a guide, it can suppress some of the most evil and murderous aura!"
As soon as he said this, the young man seemed to understand something.
He looked at Shopkeeper Qian in front of him and said, "Uncle Cheng, the murderous aura you mentioned …"
"Could it be that you brought it back from the ancient tomb a few days ago …"
At this moment, the young man recalled.
Not long ago, Shopkeeper Qian suddenly saw a golden light shoot up into the sky and into the clouds.
When he returned, he brought back a dark ancient sword that was filled with murderous aura.
When he heard Shopkeeper Qian's words, he finally understood.
No wonder Shopkeeper Qian spent 7,000 taels to buy this Emperor's Sword without a sword heart.
It was to suppress the murderous aura.
"That's right!"
Shopkeeper Qian nodded. "That sword's murderous aura is too strong. Sooner or later, it will lead to disaster …"
"Previously, there was another murderous sword that resonated with it …"
"If the two swords are combined, it will definitely be a murderous sword …"
"Although the sword's heart is dead, the Emperor's Qi is still there. If this sword is combined with the sword embryo, it might be able to reduce the murderous aura …"
Hearing this, the young man nodded.
He finally understood Shopkeeper Qian's intention.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore …"
Seeing the young man nod, Shopkeeper Qian said, "Bring this sword to the Zhengyang position in the backyard and worship it …"
"After nine days, we will fuse this sword with the Sword of Absolute Killing!"
"Longjin Mountain Villa uses the righteous path to make swords. We cannot let this murderous sword enter the Jianghu!"
At this point, Shopkeeper Qian's face was full of righteousness.
"I understand, Uncle Cheng!"
Looking at Shopkeeper Qian, the young man nodded. "What should we do with this broken sword?"
As he spoke, he picked up the broken Taiping Sword.
"Ah, this …"
After seeing the Taiping Sword, Shopkeeper Qian raised his eyelids. "This is only made from cold iron mixed with other metals …"
"Later, I will combine it and change its appearance. I will dress it up as the sword used by the previous emperor …"
"Ah?"
Hearing this, the young man was stunned. "Why, Uncle Cheng?"
"What's the point of this?"
As he spoke, the young man was at a loss.
"Hey, didn't you just give 7,000 taels to Moneygrubber Wang?"
Shopkeeper Qian said. "I have to earn back the money, right?"
"A sword used by the previous emperor. Isn't it interesting enough?"
"If we sell it to those foreigners at a high price, won't we get back the money?"
"It's true!"
Shopkeeper Qian's face was full of confidence.
