732 Let the Forgers Compete Too (1)
Tang Mao’er looked at Zheng Yongtai with a questioning expression.
Zheng Yongtai nodded. “I do have a Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, a connate divine weapon, but I don’t know if he forged it personally.”
The Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword had been given to him by the princess of Great Xia after Xiaoyu’er had broken his intrinsic divine weapon in the imperial palace of Great Xia.
At the time, they had said that the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword was forged by a king surnamed Zhou, but Zheng Yongtai was really not sure if it was true or not.
In fact, Zheng Yongtai was already 70% to 80% convinced. After all, he now suspected that Zhou Shu might be a disciple of some grotto-heaven. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why his cultivation was so high.
Even Tang Mao’er was no match for him.
If he came from a grotto-heaven, it wasn’t impossible for him to be able to forge connate divine weapons. After all, the Sima Grotto-Heaven was not the only grotto-heaven with a forging legacy.
Hearing what Zheng Yongtai said, Tang Mao’er frowned. He looked at Zhou Shu and said, “This doesn’t prove that you can forge connate divine weapons.”
“Does it matter?” Zhou Shu asked. “What matters is not whether I can forge connate divine weapons but whether I can provide the hundred connate divine weapons you need.”
Zhou Shu didn’t need to prove his ability to anyone. He just wanted to make a deal with Tang Mao’er.
“You…” Tang Mao’er was speechless.
“I’m only giving you this opportunity once. If you don’t grasp it, you’ll regret it in the future,” Zhou Shu continued. “I think other than you, the other grotto-heavens should also be lacking connate divine weapons.”
Zheng Yongtai looked helpless. Why did these words sound so familiar?
He himself had just said he was giving Zhou Shu an opportunity.
Tang Mao’er stared at Zhou Shu, conflicted. Connate divine weapons were very precious to him, and purchasing a hundred connate divine weapons was definitely not a small matter.
Tang Mao’er hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, “I’ll… buy one first!”
“One?” Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. You spoke so arrogantly just now. After all this fuss, you only want one?
Tang Mao’er also felt a little embarrassed. He explained forcefully, “I have to confirm that the weapon you’re selling me is a real connate divine weapon! I’m not familiar with you. What if you use some defective weapon to deceive me?”
“Say, Tang Mao’er, do you have any common sense?” Zhou Shu said. “A connate divine weapon is a connate divine weapon. Can’t you tell if it’s real or fake?
“Forget it. You’re so petty. I’m not dealing with you anymore. I’m leaving.”
Zhou Shu waved his hand disdainfully.
He turned and left.
One step, two steps…
Zhou Shu had just taken three steps when he heard Tang Mao’er shout behind him.
“Wait!”
“What else is there? My time is precious. I can get one or two connate divine weapons in a minute. Don’t waste my time.”
Tang Mao’er and Zheng Yongtai rolled their eyes at the same time. Who are you bluffing? One or two connate divine weapons in a minute? Do you think connate divine weapons are as common as cabbages?
How many connate divine weapons are there in the grotto-heavens that have been passed down for ten thousand years?
Even if you want to brag, shouldn’t it make some sense?
Tang Mao’er gritted her teeth. “Ten! I’ll buy ten connate divine weapons first! If there’s no problem after trying them, I’ll buy the remaining ninety!”
Zheng Yongtai pulled Tang Mao’er and whispered, “Tang Mao’er, are you crazy? Where did you get so much money?”
“Hmph, I have my means!” Tang Mao’er glanced at Zheng Yongtai. “The war is imminent. I’ve been ordered to form a heavenly army. A hundred connate divine weapons is the support I received!”
“Your old man is really crazy,” Zheng Yongtai mumbled in disbelief.
A hundred connate divine weapons worth was a huge fortune even for the various grotto-heavens.
Although Tang Mao’er was a direct descendant of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, it was a little exaggerated to receive such support.
Tang Mao’er snorted and ignored Zheng Yongtai. He looked at Zhou Shu and gritted his teeth. “If you agree, we’ll make the deal now!”
He didn’t lie to Zheng Yongtai. The military funds he had received from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven could indeed buy a hundred connate divine weapons, but not all the funds were for him to buy connate divine weapons. The funds were for him to form an army of 10,000 people.
Supporting 10,000 experts above the third rank of the Martial Dao required a massive amount of wealth.
However, Tang Mao’er’s thoughts were different from the higher-ups of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. He felt that more people might not necessarily be better. What he wanted was to use the military funds to build an Earth Immortal army of a hundred people, and the hundred connate divine weapons were the equipment he wanted to prepare.
Of course, he wouldn’t explain these thoughts too much to Zheng Yongtai.
“So be it,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “You’re so stingy even when buying connate divine weapons. I really don’t know how you live.”
Zhou Shu’s words almost made Tang Mao’er vomit blood.
Was he being stingy by buying ten connate divine weapons in one go?
Not many people of the grotto-heavens were so generous!
“I’ll be blunt. If I give you money, but I don’t see the weapons in the end, don’t blame me for falling out with you!” Tang Mao’er said coldly.
Zhou Shu smiled disdainfully and waved his hand. A seven-colored light flashed, and three weapons were neatly inserted into the ground in front of Tang Mao’er.
The three sabers were several inches into the ground, and they were still trembling slightly.
