Volume 2 Dragon Bird Chapter 26: Three-foot Blade
A three-foot-long sword, a heavenly grade sword, was hanging casually on the wall of a small wood carving shop.
"Boss, how much is this sword?" Zang Xiaojian asked with a turn of his eyes.
Xue Zhuyong picked up the wine pot, took another big sip of wine, rolled his eyes, and replied in a scornful voice: "This is a woodcarving shop. I only sell woodcarvings. I don't sell swords."
"I can offer a lot of spirit stones, just name your price." Zang Xiaojian was not discouraged and continued to increase the price.
"Stop talking nonsense. I won't sell it to you, no matter how many spirit stones you offer." Xue Zhuyong's tone became bad and impatient. "If you really want it, take it from me if you have the guts. Otherwise, forget it."
Although Xue Zhuyong's response was a bit direct, it was still within Zang Xiaojian's expectations. She asked this question just to test Xue Zhuyong's attitude.
She naturally knew that how could a sword of heavenly quality be purchased with spirit stones?
"How much is this wood sculpture?" Lu Qingshan, who was standing by, didn't care about the sword at all. Instead, he calmly pointed at a wood sculpture of a person on the wooden frame and asked.
"Why did you buy the wood carving..." Zang Xiaojian turned around, puzzled, but when he saw clearly the wood carving that Lu Qingshan was pointing at, he was stuck in his words, "This?!"
Lu Qingshan nodded at Zang Xiaojian, indicating that she was not wrong.
The wood carving was lifelike, and it depicted a beautiful woman with a fresh face. Just looking at her eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose made Zang Xiaojian feel that she looked extremely familiar.
Looking more carefully, isn't this Mrs. Mo?
Although their ages are different, Mrs. Mo is older than the statue, but the facial features are 80% similar.
Xue Zhuyong noticed the strange reaction of the two people, and his eyes flickered slightly, but his face showed no emotion. He glanced at the two people and said calmly: " The wooden sculptures of people on this wooden frame are not for sale either."
"If you don't want to sell this or that, then what are you selling? A shabby wood carving shop is more exquisite than the Daxia Commercial Company." The Western Rat King muttered in dissatisfaction, but Xue Zhuyong seemed not to hear it.
Lu Qingshan did not mind Xue Zhuyong's attitude. Instead, he admired with great interest the wooden sculpture of a human figure on the wooden shelf in front of him, which Xue Zhuyong refused to sell.
The wooden frame has three layers. The second layer in the middle is filled with wooden carvings of figures.
At the center of the second layer of the wooden frame is a wooden sculpture of a woman with a gentle face and a bright smile. She has bright eyes and a pretty appearance, but she is just pretty and is much inferior to the stunning beauty of Madam Mo.
To the left of this young woman is a wooden sculpture of a middle-aged woman. The woman’s face shows traces of vicissitudes of life, and her eyes and brows reveal a bit of sadness and weakness.
On the right is a statue of an elderly couple leaning against each other, their faces covered with meticulously carved wrinkles.
Looking further to the side, there are many statues of people of different ages, appearances and temperaments. However, compared with the clean three wood sculptures in the middle, these wood sculptures appear a little dull, and you can faintly see a layer of light dust covering them.
It was as if a lazy shop owner only cleaned the wood carvings in the most conspicuous places when cleaning.
Mrs. Mo's wood sculpture was placed casually in the leftmost corner, looking unpopular.
only.
A gleam of light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
It doesn't seem to be so ignored.
Because Mrs. Mo's wood carvings were also spotless.
After carefully observing the figures on the wooden frame and memorizing the faces of many of them, Lu Qingshan finally shifted his attention away from the wood carvings and looked at the swords hanging on the wall. After a brief thought, he suddenly asked, "Boss, although this sword is not for sale, can I have a closer look at it?"
Xue Zhuyong glanced at Lu Qingshan and said in a rather flat voice, "Whatever."
"Thank you, boss." Lu Qingshan politely thanked Xue Zhuyong, then took down the long sword hanging on the wall, grasped the hilt and swung it gently. Along with the faint sound of the sword, the information of the three-foot sword came into view.

…
This is a heavenly sword, its power is unmistakable.
If he had the Three-foot Blade as his natal sword, and combined it with his secret sword, the Wind-cutting Sword, he could slash out nine swords in an instant.
If he could add the effect of Hidden Blade in its strongest state, he would even be confident that he could kill Master Han Qing with one sword without the help of Mo Yan and Zang Xiaojian.
"What a great sword!" Lu Qingshan praised it endlessly, then put the three-foot-long sword back to its original position, pointed at the unusually ferocious dragon wood carving on the wooden frame and asked, "Do you want to sell this wood carving?"
"Ten taels of silver." Xue Zhuyong glanced at the dragon wood carving and replied in a muffled voice, "Each person can only buy one wood carving per day."
"Of course it is. It is reasonable that such an exquisite wood carving has many restrictions." Lu Qingshan responded politely but very seriously, and handed over ten taels of silver.
Xue Zhuyong took the silver, without even looking at it, and threw it into the bamboo basket in the corner to collect dust.
Zang Xiaojian pondered for a while. Although he didn't understand Lu Qingshan's purpose, he followed Lu Qingshan's example and picked a wooden sculpture of a monster. He said to Xue Zhuyong, "I'll buy one too."
After taking the dragon wood carving, Lu Qingshan did not linger in the wood carving shop any longer and quietly left.
…
After leaving the woodcarving shop, Zang Xiaojian followed closely behind Lu Qingshan, staring at Lu Qingshan's back without blinking, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He opened his mouth several times, but took back the words every time.
Faced with Xue Zhuyong's stubborn attitude, her first reaction was to ask Lu Qingshan for his ideas and thoughts.
However, they had agreed at the beginning that after finding the head of the Mo family, the ownership of the three-foot sword would depend on their own ability.
Because of their relationship as competitors, it was not appropriate for her to ask this question.
Looking back at Zang Xiaojian's shy look, Lu Qingshan found it a little funny.
He also understood the little girl's thoughts.
However, the situation is exactly as Zang Xiaojian worried. He and Zang Xiaojian are now competitors.
Even if he got along well with Zang Xiaojian, there was only one three-foot sword, and he had no reason to tell his competitor about his idea.
