The Legend of the Demon Hunter

After leaving the Hall of Heroes, Xiao Zhu went down the mountain and headed towards Haining City.

After entering Haining City, Xiao Zhu went straight to the Iron Hammer God's Shop where he had commissioned the deep-sea whale-eating crocodile skin last time. Now that seven days had passed, he wanted to see what the skin of the Beast King looked like.

"You're finally here." As soon as Xiao Zhu entered the door, the little adult Tie Xin came to greet him.

The old man who was concentrating on forging iron noticed that the person who came in was Xiao Zhu, and glanced over here.

"Shopkeeper, has the deep-sea whale-eating crocodile skin you made last time been completed?" Xiao Zhu went straight to the point.

"It's done, please wait a moment." Tie Xin walked up to the old man and whispered a few words. The old man nodded, then stood up and walked to the room behind the blacksmith shop.

Not long after, the old man came out with a package made of coarse cloth and placed the package on the only table in the blacksmith shop.

"This Sky Crocodile Armor is my proudest creation of all these years. It is even comparable to the magic weapons on the Divine Weapon List. Take a look!"

Xiao Zhu opened the package and saw that the deep-sea whale-eating crocodile skin had been made into an exquisite armor. Silver metal armor was added to the front and back of the armor, and eight gems were inlaid on the edge of the armor. These gems were sharp and angular, which Xiao Zhu had never seen before.

The old man stroked the Sky Crocodile Armor with caressing look on his face, changing his usual taciturn character to the nagging behavior of a technical guy.

"I added tungsten steel on both sides of the armor. Tungsten steel is an extremely hard material. It is inside and outside the beast king skin. One is hard and the other is tough. It provides double protection for the wearer."

"More importantly, there are eight Sky Spring diamonds. To be honest, they are more valuable than your beast king skin. They are excellent energy storage materials. The wearer of the armor usually injects spiritual power into them. Once attacked, they will automatically form a spiritual power vortex on the surface of the Sky Crocodile Armor to resist external attacks."

The old man handed the Sky Crocodile Armor to Xiao Zhu, with a hint of reluctance in his expression.

Xiao Zhu took the armor. Even though he was not proficient in magic weapons, he could feel the value of this Sky Crocodile Armor.

At first, when Tie Xin asked him to pay 5,000 silver coins for the forging fee, Xiao Zhu thought the price was a bit too expensive. It was not until he got the Sky Crocodile Armor today that Xiao Zhu realized that he had made a fortune.

Considering the value of this Sky Crocodile Armor, if it were put up for auction, it would probably not be less than 20,000 silver coins, and it would also have to go through a brutal bidding war, and it might even be hyped up even higher, a price that even he could not afford.

And now he only spent less than 10,000 silver coins to get it.

"Thank you, senior." Xiao Zhu said sincerely.

Tie Xin came forward, and because the income from this business almost exceeded her annual turnover, she was very happy. She said, "Sir, if you have other needs in the future, you are welcome to come anytime. But don't forget your promise to the store."

Xiao Zhu knew that Tie Xin was reminding him not to disclose the Heavenly Crocodile Armor. In fact, even if Tie Xin didn't remind him, he wouldn't mention it to anyone. Once others knew that he was carrying a rare treasure, it would be a greater threat to him. Xiao Zhu was very clear about the principle that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure.

"Please rest assured, shop owner. I will never break the promise I made." Xiao Zhu replied.

At this time, Xiao Zhu seemed to have thought of something, and he took out the broken Tanlang Sword from the storage jade bracelet.

"Gentlemen, I have another magic weapon that was severely damaged in the previous battle. Please help me see if it can be repaired."

Hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Tie Xin knew that another important business was coming. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Great! Sir, you are also an old customer of our store. If you need anything, we will definitely support you with all our strength."

But the old man fell silent. He looked at Xiao Zhu's Tanlang Sword, gently stroking the sword with his hand, and an expression of disbelief flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

"Is this the Xiyin Sword, which ranks sixth on the Divine Weapon List?"

Hearing this, both Xiao Zhu and Tie Xin were so shocked that they were speechless.

The top ten magic weapons on the Magic Weapon List have extremely special significance. They are all extremely powerful weapons. Not to mention ordinary people, even some large organizations want to own one but cannot. Because these magic weapons are priceless and will never be circulated on the market.

Tie Xin didn't expect that this young Xiao Zhu actually possessed a magic weapon ranked in the top ten of the Divine Weapon List. This is really unbelievable!

Xiao Zhu was shocked by the old man's sharp eyesight, he could identify the origin and name of the sword just by looking at a broken sword. However, this also gave Xiao Zhu more confidence in repairing the sword.

"Senior, do you have a way to repair this sword? If possible, price is not an issue." Xiao Zhu asked anxiously.

Tie Xin's eyes fell on the old man at the same time, especially the words "price is not a problem", her eyes lit up again. This little girl is really a natural born businessman.

Under the eager gazes of the two, the old man shook his head regretfully and said, "Sorry, I can't repair this sword either."

"Grandpa!" Tie Xin stomped her feet in anger. She thought the old man was making excuses again, and said with a rather dissatisfied expression.

The old man shook his head and said earnestly: "Xin'er, it's not that grandpa is unwilling to help, but repairing the Xiyin Sword is indeed beyond grandpa's ability. Not to mention that I have no idea what materials the Xiyin Sword was made of. Even if I knew, grandpa can't burn such a high temperature flame..."

In Tie Xin's eyes, her grandfather was almost omniscient and omnipotent in the field of forging. She had never expected that there were weapons that even he could not repair.

Tie Xin said, "Grandpa, if even you can't repair this weapon, then no one in this world can repair it? Then Xin'er doesn't understand even more, who was the person who created this Xiyin Sword in the first place?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Xin'er, you think too highly of grandpa. Although grandpa has achieved certain accomplishments in the field of forging and can be called a first-class blacksmith, there are many people who are better than me."

"This reminds me of an incident in the past. I learned the art of blacksmithing since I was young, and I had already mastered it when I was only thirty years old. I was so arrogant at that time that I thought I was invincible in the field of blacksmithing. But at that time, I met a middle-aged man who wanted to make a bet with me. Within three days, we would each forge a sword, and whoever's sword was sharper would win the bet."

"As you can imagine, I was very competitive and readily accepted the bet. I carefully selected the material for the sword and finally chose the same tungsten steel used in this crocodile armor. After three days and three nights, I put all my efforts into finally making a sword. The sword is very sharp and can cut iron like mud."

"With this sword, I thought I had won... On the day of the contest, the man came to the shop again, but he brought nothing. I thought he was intimidated by me and was going to give up the contest, but he picked up a few common materials from my furnace, melted them together with the fire, and then used the usual injection molding, cooling, hammering, and forming. In just three hours, he made a sword. The sword was not good-looking, but when the two swords really faced each other, the sword I made was cut like a branch."

"From that day on, I finally understood a truth: there are always people better than you."
