As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 899 Swallowing Mist Flying Sword
The Wanbao Spiritual Goods Shop was very spacious, but at this time it was bustling with people, with customers shoulder to shoulder and the crowd surging like a tide. The shop assistants of Wanbao Spiritual Goods Shop were dressed in black robes, each holding a magical artifact with the elegant words "Swallowing Mist Flying Sword" engraved on its blade, and they were eloquently promoting it.

If you only look at the appearance, this flying sword is no different from the Cloud-Swallowing Flying Sword of the Qushui Tower's Treasure Pavilion.

Furthermore... a customer asked, "Can this flying sword be shrunk down for carrying, or transformed into a hairpin to be inserted into the hair?"

The Treasure Pavilion's Cloud-Swallowing Flying Sword underwent a major upgrade last month, such as shrinking to an inch and being custom-made into a favorite ornament shape.

A man dressed in a black robe with golden spirit patterns, who appeared to be the manager of the Wanbao Spirit Goods Shop, stepped forward. He proudly touched the Swallowing Mist Flying Sword in their shop and even took out such a flying sword. He said with a smile, "Of course! It can shrink to the size of three inches, and we already have flying sword magic weapons that can be shrunk to the shape of a hairpin. You don't need to wait, sir, you can take it home!"

"Moreover, unlike the flying swords of other shops that have a conspicuous and dazzling light behind them, our Wanbao Spiritual Goods Shop's flying swords are completely invisible and concealed. In this way, even in dangerous monster forests, you can still control the flying sword, greatly reducing the danger. I can see that you are also a cultivator with outstanding talent. This flying sword will definitely be able to exert its greatest power in your hands, and I believe that our flying sword can help you break through as soon as possible."

Although the manager looked young, he was eloquent and had a steady, powerful voice. His words seemed to possess an innate power to convince people.

This flying sword is one of the newest magical artifacts available today. Most customers who come to Wanbao Spiritual Goods Shop are there with free maps in hand, looking for flying swords that can fly through the clouds, so they naturally have a strong desire to buy them.

Under the persuasive tongues of the shop assistants, many people began to inquire about the price of the flying sword, preparing to take out their spirit crystals.

"A regular Mist-Swallowing Flying Sword costs 179,000 spirit crystals, while an optimized and transformed Earth-rank high-grade Mist-Swallowing Flying Sword costs 479,000 spirit crystals."

"So expensive?!"

The customer, who was about to pay, trembled as he held the Mist-Swallowing Flying Sword.

Although they are cultivators, not all cultivators are wealthy.

Ordinary Mist-Swallowing Flying Swords are essentially low-to-mid-grade Earth-level magical artifacts. In this world where strength reigns supreme, weapon-type magical artifacts are the most expensive of all magical artifacts. Generally, a low-to-mid-grade Earth-level magical sword costs only between 30,000 and 200,000 spirit crystals.

Although this flying sword can help everyone fly, it has no killing power. It is said that it cannot even break through the defense of a Fire-Burning Pig in the Meridian Opening Realm, yet it is sold for such a high price.

The saying goes that money should be spent wisely. Although many people dream of flying, most are practical people. Some people also think that the price of flying swords may be too high at the moment, and that the price may be cheaper after a while.

Many people had given up, while others, though still fond of flying swords, wanted to compare prices at other spirit goods shops.

Just as everyone was retreating, a black-robed shop assistant ran out from the back room of Wanbao Spirit Goods Store and said hurriedly, "It's bad, Manager! We're almost out of the Swallowing Mist Flying Swords!"

The manager's expression changed as he looked at the calm and composed man. He subconsciously muttered, "Didn't we just restock 20,000 spirit swords a couple of days ago? Are we already out of stock? I should have set the price of the flying swords higher."

The steward's voice was very soft, almost a whisper, but many people still heard it.

At this moment, a young man in the back muttered a few curses in a low voice, "Out of stock again! I've been here since early this morning. Shopkeeper, it's not fair of you to raise the price at the last minute!" He then rudely pushed aside the people in front of him and said coldly, "What are you doing blocking the way if you're not buying? A bunch of poor slobs, get out of the way, you're wasting my time!"

"Damn it, who are you calling a poor loser?"

"Who said I'm not buying? If you push again, I'll break your legs!"

The person who was being pushed and cursed immediately flew into a rage. Most cultivators who traveled outside the home had a temper, and quite a few had killed people. When they saw someone pushing and cursing them, their eyes changed instantly, revealing a hint of hostility and murderous intent.

Stared at by several pairs of menacing eyes, the previously arrogant customer immediately cowered, shrank back, and returned to his original spot.

Killing and fighting are not advisable within Mingxiao City. Seeing his cowardly and bullying behavior, many people sneered but did not make a move.

"Shopkeeper, this coward is indeed despicable, but there's a saying that's true: raising prices at the last minute isn't very ethical."

The shopkeeper, dressed in a black robe with gold patterns, first glared at the loudly shouting waiter, seemingly scolding him for being so insensible and for not speaking to him privately about such an important matter.

He then looked slightly embarrassed, but quickly calmed down in front of the customers. He spoke in a deep voice with a serious expression, "Of course, we are honored by your high regard. Wanbao Linghuo Store will not raise prices on the spot."

Once they received confirmation, the customers smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction at getting a good deal. They eagerly took out their glittering spirit crystals, afraid that they would miss out if they were a step too late. "Cash on delivery, I want a flying sword."

"I was here first! I was here first! Give me a flying sword first!"

"I want a flying sword that can transform into a hairpin. I'm just wondering what novel thing to bring back for my partner!"

In an instant, it was as if the price of the flying swords had become as cheap as cabbage, and everyone rushed to buy them. In just one hour, Wanbao Spiritual Goods Shop sold more than thirty flying swords, and also sold a lot of other magical artifacts in the shop.

Wanbaoling Goods Shop claimed that the number of flying swords was limited, but the noise in the shop gradually subsided as night fell.

After seeing off the last customer and closing the shop door, the black-robed shopkeeper and the three shop assistants exchanged glances. Like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, their honest and reliable faces vanished in front of the customers. Their eyes gleamed with eagerness, and they let out lewd chuckles.

"Big brother, how much did we earn today? At least five million spirit crystals, right?!"

One of the men, who looked to be in his forties and had an unremarkable appearance, hurriedly stepped forward. If other customers were present, they would be surprised to find that this was the same rude man who had pushed and shoved people earlier!

He simply flipped his hand above his head, and a faint white light dissipated. The man's face had changed completely; he was no longer in his forties or fifties, but clearly looked to be in his twenties!

What's not to understand? This guy is a shill for Wanbao Linghuo Store, and he's quite successful at it!
