Chapter 305 Extra 029
After Jiang Sheng thanked him, he left the gym briskly. The air was filled with the smell of sweat and hard work, and seemed to still echo with the passion he had just expressed. He got on his motorcycle, and the sound of the engine cut through the quiet streets, heading towards the east end of Tianhaizhou Commercial Street, where a legend was hidden - "Yaoji Blacksmith Shop", a century-old craft holy land.

Tianhaizhou, this ancient and vibrant city, has bred countless heroes. Yaoji Blacksmith Shop is one of the shining pearls. Its pure handmade knives are well-known, especially the Tang swords. It is rumored that the Tang sword used by Tianhaizhou's top master Cang Ying was made by Yao Haibo, the head of Yaoji Blacksmith Shop. Its sharpness has attracted countless warriors.

Jiang Sheng parked his motorcycle steadily in front of the store, and his eyes were attracted by the simple yet solemn appearance of the store. Stepping into the store, it was as if he had traveled through time and space and returned to the era of swords and swords. The store is spacious, about 150 square meters, and the interior decoration is full of classical charm. On the walls and the display shelves in the center, a wide variety of cold weapons are displayed like works of art, including swords, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, and all kinds of weapons. Each weapon carries the traces of history and the wisdom of craftsmen.

The store not only sells cold weapons, but also various shields and protective gear, each of which demonstrates Yao Ji's extreme pursuit of details. Just then, a female clerk in black work clothes came lightly, with the words "Yao Ji" embroidered on her lapel, which was particularly eye-catching. She smiled and greeted Jiang Sheng: "Sir, welcome to Yao Ji Blacksmith Shop. What kind of weapons are you looking for? I am happy to recommend them to you."

Jiang Sheng's eyes were firm, and his voice was full of expectation: "Knife! Tang knife!" This short answer was full of his yearning and respect for Tang knives. The female clerk smiled knowingly and led Jiang Sheng to the north wall, where a series of carefully crafted Tang knives were placed.

She gently picked up a long knife from the table and handed it to Jiang Sheng, with pride in her eyes: "Sir, why don't you try this one?" Jiang Sheng took it and looked at it carefully. This is an exquisitely crafted Tang sword, about 70 cm long, with a handle made of century-old peach wood, warm and textured. The scabbard is carefully tanned from old cowhide, exuding the fragrance of years. When Jiang Sheng slowly drew the knife out of the sheath, a cold light suddenly came into view, the blade was sharp, and it was breathtaking.

Jiang Sheng's eyes flashed with amazement. This Tang sword seemed to have a spiritual connection with him, and he fell in love with it at first sight. Seeing this, the female clerk smiled even more brightly: "This Tang sword was made by our Yaoji Master Li Qinglan. It weighs 7.5 kilograms. The blade is made of alloy titanium steel and is extremely tough. The edge of the blade is covered with graphene material, which gives it unparalleled hardness and toughness. Even if it withstands a chopping force of up to 5500 kilograms, it will not curl at all. It can cut through gold and iron, and cut hair with ease."

She continued, "More importantly, the handle of the knife is engraved with the autograph of Master Li Qinglan. This is not only a weapon, but also a work of art. It is an excellent choice whether it is used in actual combat or as a collection. Owning such a knife will make you shine in both martial arts training and social occasions."

Jiang Sheng secretly admired that this Tang sword was not only a symbol of strength and skill, but also a testimony of ingenuity. He decided that this would be his new partner, accompanying him on the road ahead to overcome obstacles and write his own legendary chapter.

The story does not end here. Jiang Sheng's adventure with this Tang sword has just begun. He walked out of Yaoji Blacksmith Shop, holding this precious gift tightly in his hand, and his heart was filled with infinite longing for the future. The motorcycle started again, leaving behind a figure walking away, and the story of courage, dream and inheritance will continue to spread in the land of Tianhaizhou.

The Tang sword in Jiang Sheng's hand seemed to have life. As his wrist danced flexibly, every chop in the air seemed to tell of its sharpness and toughness. This feeling was like a tacit understanding between the sword and the user, as if this sword was born for him. Indeed, the master's craftsmanship was extraordinary. Even the slightest movement could feel the excellent quality of the Tang sword. However, when Jiang Sheng heard the price quoted by the female clerk, his smile froze instantly, like a frozen lake. He swallowed his saliva, with a hint of disbelief in his voice: "How much is this sword?"

The saleswoman smiled even brighter, and she explained, "Sir, this month is the 3610th anniversary of the establishment of Yaoji Blacksmith Shop. In order to give back to our customers, all products are 2888% off. The original price of this Tang sword in your hand is yuan, and after the discount, it is only yuan."

Jiang Sheng's expression became awkward. He scratched his head and said hesitantly, "Well... let me think about it again." He knew very well that the money in his pocket was far from enough to pay such a high fee, but the desire for this Tang sword in his heart could not be erased.

Finally, after some ideological struggle, Jiang Sheng chose a Tang sword made by the apprentice of Master Li Qinglan. Although it is inferior in craftsmanship, the lines are not as smooth as the master's work, and the quenching technology cannot reach the same level, it is still an excellent weapon, and the price is only 268 yuan, and it is said to be able to withstand 4000 kilograms of chopping force.

After leaving Yaoji Blacksmith Shop, Jiang Sheng carried the Tang sword on his back with mixed feelings. He deeply realized the value behind the word "master", which is an accumulation of skills, experience and reputation, which cannot be simply measured by money. However, the cruel reality forced him to face the pressure of life.

The motorcycle carried him through the bustling commercial street and headed for the old street just across the wall. This was another world, a place full of darkness and despair. In sharp contrast to the bright lights of the commercial street, the old street was full of all kinds of illegal transactions, and pornography, gambling, and drugs were just the tip of the iceberg. Even more outrageous, human trafficking has almost become a semi-public "industry" here, with innocent children imprisoned in cages, waiting for an unknown fate.

Jiang Sheng knew that he could not change all this, at least not now. All he could do was to keep working hard, improve his strength, and try to get out of this quagmire as soon as possible. Walking through the narrow and crowded streets, he ignored those greedy or curious eyes and focused on finding his target.

In addition to various illegal places, there are also many martial arts halls and crash courses hidden on the old street.
