Chapter 1564: Chapter 1561: Agreement Reached!

"What caused the cracks on the Demonic Sword?"

Chai Xu asked with a cold voice.

Lin Bai sighed lightly, recalling the broken halberd in Bai Ling’s hands within the Haihan Demon Country, and said faintly, "I wonder if Senior Chai Xu has heard of the Sea King Halberd?"

"King-level Spiritual Tools! The Sea King Halberd!"

Upon hearing this name, Chai Xu was so surprised that he abruptly jumped up from his chair with a "swoosh."

"You crossed swords with the Sea King Halberd using the Demonic Sword?" Chai Xu exclaimed with widened eyes.

However, after a moment of thought, Chai Xu shook his head and said, "No, that’s not right. The Sea King Halberd was destroyed by the Demon Clan over two hundred years ago when the Hanhai Dynasty was overthrown."

Lin Bai sighed again, "I did indeed cross swords with the Sea King Halberd in the Haihan Demon Country, but it was just a broken halberd, not the complete Sea King Halberd!"

After hearing this, Chai Xu nodded slightly, "No wonder then. If you really had fought against the full Sea King Halberd, the Demonic Sword would have likely been completely destroyed, not just cracked."

"You are rather lucky to have survived under the broken King-level Spiritual Tools."

A strange laugh emerged on Chai Xu’s face as he couldn’t help but scrutinize.

Lin Bai took a deep breath: "Senior Chai Xu, let’s not talk about this. I’m not sure if you can repair the Demonic Sword. Of course, if Senior Chai Xu requires any compensation, Dongfang Bai can negotiate anything within my ability to provide."

Chai Xu, upon hearing this, let out a strange laugh, "Compensation and whatnot can be discussed later. Repairing the Demonic Sword is also a challenge for me, which might well be the pinnacle of my life’s work in Artifact Refining."

Lin Bai’s eyes lit up as he contemplated for a moment before saying, "If Senior Chai Xu can repair the Demonic Sword, there is another matter I would like to request. Please forge 72 Swords for me."

"I have prepared a Jade Slip with the details for Senior Chai Xu."

"Walls have ears, so please read the Jade Slip, Senior Chai Xu," said Lin Bai as he handed over the Jade Slip with a faint smile.

"What’s the big secret?" Chai Xu took the Jade Slip, pressed it to his forehead, and with a thought, read the contents inside.

After finishing it, Chai Xu’s pupils dilated in shock, and a powerful force of the Perfect Yin Saint Realm burst uncontrollably from his body, echoing within the room.

Chai Xu looked at Lin Bai in astonishment and said urgently, "You have Incorruptible... "

But he stopped halfway through his sentence, and slowly sat down, his pupils excitedly murmuring in a low voice, "How do you have so much Incorruptible Divine Iron!"

Lin Bai spoke mildly, "Since I have come to Senior Chai Xu, I come with no intention of evading the issue. Looking across the vast Lingnan Continent, there are only a handful of Artifact Refiners who can forge Incorruptible Divine Iron."

"I have relatively more trust in Senior Chai Xu."

"I have here enough materials to forge 72 blades as formidable as the Demonic Sword. If Senior Chai Xu is interested, we can come to an agreement."

"And I also plan to form a long-term collaboration with Senior Chai Xu. In the future, I may ask Senior Chai Xu to forge other items as well."

Chai Xu’s eyes brimmed with uncontrollable ecstasy as he said, "Good, good, if you truly have so much Incorruptible Divine Iron, this old man will give it a try."

Lin Bai changed the topic, "We’ll talk about future matters in the future. For now, I would like to ask Senior Chai Xu to help me repair the Demonic Sword."

"That’s a trivial matter. Within half a month, I can have the Demonic Sword restored to its complete form for you," Chai Xu spoke excitedly, "When shall we start forging the other weapons?"

Although Chai Xu was extraordinarily excited about repairing the Demonic Sword, what truly preoccupied his mind was the prospect of forging blades.

An Artifact Refiner, especially one as renowned as Chai Xu, was eager to create a Divine Soldier Weapon that could be passed down for a thousand, ten thousand years.

"Once the Demonic Sword is repaired, I’ll make arrangements. We’ll discuss other matters at that time," Lin Bai said with a light smile.

Chai Xu’s expression tensed, and with a strange laugh he said, "Are you testing my skills? Are you afraid that my methods are not refined enough and that I might waste the Divine Iron in your hands?"

Lin Bai smiled slightly, noncommittal.

By saying this, Lin Bai indeed intended to probe Chai Xu’s skills — after all, the Incorruptible Divine Iron was so important. Although Lin Bai possessed a great amount, it was not something he would waste without second thoughts.

"Alright, since you young fellow want to see what I’m capable of, then I’ll let you see. If you trust me, leave the Demonic Sword behind. After half a month, I will naturally have it fully repaired."

"How about it?"

"Rest assured, I am not a Sword Cultivator and have no interest in your Demonic Sword. Moreover, what I care more about is the Divine Iron in your hands..."

Chai Xu spoke with a solemn expression, looking as if he was sure of success.

"Agreed," Lin Bai said with an easy smile: "I will be staying in Haizhen City for the next half a month. If Senior Chai Xu has repaired the Demonic Sword, you can find me at Silver Moon Commerce Association."

"Good. I am currently residing at an old friend’s place in Haizhen City. If you are worried, you can come and check anytime, I will imprint the address in this Jade Slip." As he spoke, Chai Xu handed a Jade Slip to Lin Bai!

Lin Bai took the Jade Slip, glanced at the address inside, and said, "Senior Chai Xu, about the matter with the Incorruptible Divine Iron..."

Chai Xu said righteously, "Don’t worry, I will definitely not disclose it. However, since young Dongfang has already sought me out, please do not seek other Artifact Refiners."

"After all, being able to use Incorruptible Divine Iron to forge weapons is the greatest honor for any Artifact Refiner in the Lingnan Continent."

Chai Xu also said this to Lin Bai.

"Please rest assured, Senior Chai Xu. If you can repair the Demonic Sword within half a month, then we can have a good talk about what comes next," Lin Bai spoke with a light laugh.

"Good, straight to the point. I really like doing business with people like you."

Chai Xu said excitedly: "Then there is no time to lose, I will take the Demonic Sword back for repairs now."

Lin Bai nodded lightly.

Following that, Lin Bai and Chai Xu left Tianbao Tower together.

Lin Bai watched Chai Xu leave, took out the Jade Slip from his Storage Bag, gave it a few more glances, then put it away, and took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from the Storage Bag as well.

As soon as the Sound Transmission Talisman was taken out, a voice came through it: "Senior Brother Dongfang."

"Zhuo Lian, where have you reached?" Lin Bai asked.

The voice coming from the opposite end of the Sound Transmission Talisman was none other than Zhuo Lian, one of the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain.

Zhuo Lian spoke softly, "After receiving Senior Brother Dongfang’s transmission half a month ago, Junior Sister Jing Shu and I have already set out from the Litian Dynasty, and it will take us about half a month to reach Haizhen City."

"That’s perfect, be careful on your way," Lin Bai said.

"Sure," Zhuo Lian replied.

After inquiring about Zhuo Lian’s whereabouts, Lin Bai put away the Sound Transmission Talisman and returned to Silver Moon Commerce Association.
