Chapter 321 The Final Work Of Chase (Part One)


    Thest instance when some heavenly essence was sold via an auction in the Blessed Auction House,


    the elders from noble families of Imperial Capital regretted that they were not present there that


    particr day for a long time. Or else the price of the fifty drops of heavenly essence would have been


    far higher than the few hundred thousand cubic crystals.


    After asking for the price, Zen returned the ''Green Wave'' sword to the shopkeeper and then in a


    following movement pointed towards the third one and asked, "Sir, could I know the name of the third


    sword?"


    The shopkeeper gently ced the sword ''Green Wave'' back on the shelf. He then looked at the third


    sword as he shook his head and said, "As per what I know about the third sword, I strongly advice you


    not to buy it and choose some other sword."


    "Oh? May I know the reason?" Zen asked in an apparent tone of surprise.


    "Well, I simply say so because the third sword is an unfinished one," the middle-aged shopkeeper


    responded in a soft hushed voice. "When Chase was forging this sword, he remained relentlessly


    awake for over two whole days. He began meditating after he took the refining fire back from the


    sword. And then he never woke up--Chase passed away in an upright sitting posture."


    Zen raised his eyebrows and asked with curiosity, "Does this mean that Chase died from making this


    particr sword?"


    "You could probably say that, but it would not bepletely true or even reasonable. Around the same


    time, Chase''s natural lifespan too wasing to an end and he knew it very well. But for him, to make


    a fairy weapon was far more important and superior over one more year of mortality. It really is a pity


    that the sword remained unfinished even with the way he exerted himself for excellence onest time.


    It could have been a fairy weapon if Chase did not die. So now it is less valuable because it is a semi-


    finished sword!" The middle-aged shopkeeper bobbed his head slowly to express the sense of regret.


    "Since it is only an iplete product, why would you ce it here on the shelf with the other


    swords?" Zen asked. He went on with his second inquiry without a moment''s pause, "Is there anyone


    who would buy a semi-product?"


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    "Hey hey," the middle-aged shopkeeperughed at Zen''s naive question and answered. "It is not


    ordinary either since it has the potential to be a fairy weapon with the right assistance. Being the


    final work of Chase, it is clearly worth something. I can show you its potential if you don''t believe it..."


    While the middle-aged shopkeeper was speaking, he grabbed the third sword off the shelf.


    The next moment, he beganparing it with the other two swords Zen saw previously. The third one


    did not seem to share an on-par excellence. Its sheath appeared grey and there was no aura to be


    sensed at all. The first sword, Nine Edges Sword, was like a mighty warrior, which would immediately


    give people a sense of its intimidating power upon appearing.


    And the second sword, ''Green Wave'', was like an agile killer with an ethereal vibe, which would arrive


    withouting into notice in an extremely swift and efficient manner.


    But the third sword appeared ordinary. It was like an airhead with a normal look, but without anything in


    his mind. The sword had lost its soul.


    The middle-aged shopkeeper then pulled the sword out of the sheath. It was almost finished. When


    Zen''s eyes focused on the edge, he raised his eyebrows without even realizing it. The sword''s edge


    was extraordinarily sharp. He could just sense the sharpness by looking at it. Except for the edge, all


    other parts, including the sword body, the handle and the sheath, seemed to be grey with grime.


    "This sword is nearly finished. Chase passed away before thest final procedure, which is the most


    important and crucial to make a weapon. And that is condensation," the shopkeeper spoke out. As he


    stroked the sword, he went on, "Condensation is to give the sword power with Heaven''s derivative


    principle the weapon refiner learns so that the sword can have its own soul. And also because of this,


    weapon refiners can make all kinds of weapons, and the weapons can be thereupon divided into


    different levels. We put the unfinished sword here on disy, just hoping that some fated weapon


    refiner would buy it and take it to its destiny!"


    "Condensing depends on the weapon refiner''s understanding of Heaven''s derivative. But each weapon


    refiner has his own understanding of Heaven''s derivative and it is different from person to person. If an


    ordinary weapon refiner bought it, the result of condensing would probably be not good enough for the


    sword. So the sword may be only a mysterious weapon, isn''t it?" Zen enthusiastically questioned


    again.


    The middle-aged shopkeeper agreed as he nodded, "Well, you''re right. We only list the price ten


    thousand cubic crystals. If a weapon refiner has deep understanding of Heaven''s derivative, the sword


    may turn to a fairy weapon. He can then sell it at the price of one million or several million cubic


    crystals. But over many years, several weapon refiners have seen the sword, but none of them can be


    sure to seed!"


    "Condensation needs the weapon refiner''s understanding of Heaven''s derivative and he needs to


    condense it into the weapon. How about directly filling the sword with heavenly essence?" Zen blurted


    out yet another question.


    "Ha ha ha," the shopkeeperughed loudly upon hearing Zen''s words and continued, "Heavenly


    essence is the essence of Heaven''s derivative. Of course it will be better than the original method!"


    "Why don''t they buy the sword and fill it with heavenly essence directly?" Zen was still puzzled.


    "That is a good question. First, heavenly essence is very expensive, and people usually can''t buy it


    even they have many cubic crystals. Second, the sword is an unfinished weapon. Who knows how


    much heavenly essence it would need? It is a hit and missing process depending on skills and


    knowledge of the subject. Let''s assume it is a fairy weapon. It can''t be a fairy weapon without


    dozens or even hundreds of drops of heavenly essence. Moreover, a weapon refiner can strengthen a


    finished high-level spiritual weapon. It will be a better choice and it also will definitely guarantee a good


    result." The middle-aged shopkeeper replied confidently.
