The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 7: Divine Weapon Pavilion

With a vigorous physique.

A distance of fifty miles was not far for Lin Fan.

He almost jogged all the way and arrived in front of a city when the sun was overhead.

Heavenly Wind City.

Located in the border area of Great Long.

It couldn't be considered prosperous as a whole, but as the central hub of several large cities, there was still a considerable flow of people.

There were guards stationed at the city gate, inspecting the passersby.

Since Lin Fan didn't carry any goods, the guards didn't stop him for taxes and he entered smoothly.

The streets of Heavenly Wind City.

Spread out in a cross shape within the city, with various shops, inns, and street vendors on both sides.

Standing on the street.

A scene reminiscent of a period drama came rushing towards Lin Fan.

"Freshly baked meat buns, they're free if they're not fragrant!"

"Ice sugar-coated haws, sweet and delicious ice sugar-coated haws~"

"Get lost! Where did this beggar come from? Get away from me!"

Various noises filled the air.

No matter where you were, there were always people selling meat buns and ice sugar-coated haws.

Of course,

Beggars were also inevitable.

Lin Fan smiled.

This is truly the same old story.

But it had to be said that looking at the fragrant meat buns, he also felt hungry.

He had been walking for fifty miles since morning, and it was a lie to say that his stomach wasn't hungry.

Unfortunately, he was short on money...

"Let's sell the sword first."

Lin Fan could only suppress his desire for food and walked towards the inner part of the street.

The original owner had been to the county town a few times and was not unfamiliar with this place.

To sell knives, swords, and weapons.

The intersection at the crossroads in the city was the most ideal place.

Because in that bustling area, there was a shop specializing in the weapon business.

That shop was the Divine Weapon Pavilion!

It was rumored that this Divine Weapon Pavilion had branches in many cities of the Great Long Dynasty and had a thriving business. The divine weapons and sharp weapons they sold were sought after by countless martial artists.

Even the imperial court

had cooperated with them.

Lin Fan intended to forge weapons for a long-term business, so naturally, he had to find these big merchants.

The streets of Heavenly Wind City were not long.

Lin Fan didn't take long to arrive in front of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Truly a big merchant.

Their facade was indeed very impressive.

Leaving aside everything else, just the storefront alone occupied several acres of land.

This was the most prosperous street in Heavenly Wind City, and yet it occupied such a large area. It could be imagined how wealthy the Divine Weapon Pavilion was.

From time to time, people dressed as martial artists came in and out, indicating that their business was quite good.

"Sir, do you need to buy something?"

Lin Fan stopped in front of the door for a while, and a servant-like person came forward politely to inquire.

Although Lin Fan's appearance didn't look like someone well-off, the servant of the Divine Weapon Pavilion didn't show any contempt. Instead, he politely asked.

Lin Fan sighed once again.

No wonder they could do such a big business.

"I'm not here to buy something, but to sell something."

Lin Fan nodded friendly to the servant and then stated his purpose.

"Oh, you want to sell something, sir. May I ask what you want to sell?"

The smile on the servant's face didn't change. With the Divine Weapon Pavilion being so big, it was natural that they bought and sold things.

And some divine weapons.

Were not necessarily better just because they were new.

Even many knives and swords that had tasted blood were more valuable than newly forged ones.

For example, the infamous blood-drinking knife in the martial arts world was the treasure of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and even the commander of the violent organization, the Town Martial Bureau of the Great Long Dynasty, intended to purchase it.

And this knife.

Was an old knife that had drunk countless blood.

The original Divine Weapon Pavilion had bought it from a retired martial arts hero.

"I'm selling a long sword."

Lin Fan took off the long package on his back.

"A long sword for sale?"

The servant's eyes lit up upon hearing the words.

Among the martial artists in the jianghu, swords are the most popular.

Especially long swords,

They are more sought after in terms of price.

Because those young and inexperienced youths, their favorite is to have a long sword, fantasizing about the martial arts dream of traveling the world with a sword.

These naive youngsters,

Are the ones who can fetch the highest price.

Half of Divine Weapon Pavilion's performance is supported by selling long swords.

"Guest, please come inside. I will invite our second shopkeeper to appraise it for you."

The servant respectfully made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you."

Lin Fan expressed his gratitude and followed the other person into Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The space inside was very large, and the specially made weapon racks were filled with various weapons, from common swords to less common large axes and halberds, and even longbows and hidden weapons could be seen inside.

But Lin Fan didn't come to buy weapons, so the servant led him to a side room.

"Guest, please have a seat and rest for a while. I will go call our second shopkeeper."

The servant arranged for Lin Fan to sit down and brought a cup of tea before turning to call someone.

Lin Fan sat on the wooden chair, picked up his own forged long sword, and began to unwrap the cloth strips.

As for the tea on the table, he had no intention of drinking it.

"Second shopkeeper, this is the guest who wants to sell the long sword in his hand."

Not long after, the servant who had just gone out led a middle-aged man in.

This middle-aged man was dressed in a green robe, and his long hair was meticulously groomed. He walked in without leaving any trace and glanced at Lin Fan before finally fixing his gaze on the long sword in Lin Fan's hand.

At first, he remained calm.

But as Lin Fan unwrapped all the cloth strips, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You can go busy yourself."

The second shopkeeper waved his hand to dismiss the servant, then walked over and sat in front of Lin Fan.

"What should I call you, young man?"

He asked with a gentle smile.

Lin Fan remained unchanged and said, "Do I need to reveal my identity when selling things in your shop?"

"That's not necessary."

The second shopkeeper still smiled, "I just think you're interesting and want to get to know you."

"Oh, I'm honored."

Lin Fan politely smiled.

"Not at all."

The second shopkeeper also smiled politely. Seeing that Lin Fan didn't want to reveal his personal information, he smoothly changed the topic and asked, "Are you planning to sell the long sword in your hand?"

"Yes."

Lin Fan nodded.

"May I take a look?"

The second shopkeeper looked at the long sword and asked.

"Of course."

Lin Fan handed over the long sword and placed it on the wooden table between them.

The second shopkeeper skillfully picked up the long sword, and as he watched, his gaze became even brighter.

"Good sword!"

The second shopkeeper sincerely praised and gently stroked the blade with his hand.

Upon hearing the comment, a slight smile appeared on Lin Fan's lips. This was naturally a good sword, at least not inferior to those hanging in the hall outside.

"May I test its sharpness?"

The second shopkeeper looked up and asked Lin Fan.

"Please."

Lin Fan raised his hand and nodded.

With Lin Fan's consent, the second shopkeeper picked up a piece of hardwood nearby.

This kind of hardwood

Is specifically used to test the sharpness and toughness of weapons.

Weapons are meant for killing, and if they are not sharp enough or tough enough, they naturally won't do.

Although the second shopkeeper had never learned martial arts, his movements were very skilled. He raised the sword and made a diagonal cut.

Swish~

A slight friction sound could be heard.

Then the specially tested piece of hardwood effortlessly split into two and fell to the ground.

The whole process

Was without much disturbance.

And the cut on the hardwood was as smooth as a mirror, from top to bottom.

"Not bad, not bad."

The second shopkeeper praised again. Obviously, he was very satisfied with this test.

Although Lin Fan was confident in his own skills, seeing this scene, he also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his trip was a success.
