Ding Hui covets a rare Two-polar Yin Yang Grass, a gift from an array master in the Capital. Chen Yunyun reveals three lords are interested, but Ding Hui begins to bargain, seeing the herb as crucial for his mission. While Fang Yu frets about the dangerous Land of Gathering Evil, Chen Yunyun prepares to negotiate with the other lords, except Daoist Qing Yan. Fang Yu then impulsively draws a patterned sword, causing his Demon Blood to agitate and begin to be drawn into the hilt before Chen Yunyun stops him.

"Young Master Diao, this sword is named [Blood Drying]. It is a demon sword."

"A demon sword?"

Fang Yu turned around and looked at Ding Hui.

He had heard of artifacts, perhaps Immortal relics or other such things.

But a demon sword, he had never heard of that before.

"The so-called demon sword is a weapon forged using special demon materials. This forging method belongs to the Ancient Refining Technique, which is said to have been lost. So, the demon swords left behind today, each one counts as an old relic."

Ding Hui spoke slowly, walking to Fang Yu’s side, and standing shoulder to shoulder.

"Though old, such demon swords are not without merits. Generally, they contain some kind of power sourced from the demon materials used. However, because the forging methods are primitive and ancient, no matter how well-maintained, they are far inferior in sharpness, toughness, and durability compared to today’s famous swords."

"This is the limitation of ancient techniques, and the inevitable outcome of craftsmen’s relentless exploration and development. It’s just that some techniques haven’t been preserved, which makes these ancient sword artifacts rare and precious."

"Additionally, the demons required for forging demon swords are extremely rare species, almost extinct nowadays."

"With the technique lost, and the materials hard to find, new demon swords are difficult to come by, turning them into items of high collectible value, akin to exquisite paintings or gold artifacts collected by the elite."

Chen Yunyun was slightly astonished, seemingly baffled by Ding Hui’s vast knowledge.

Meanwhile, Fang Yu turned his head, puzzled.

"You mean... this thing isn’t sharper or more useful than any random famous sword?"

"Not exactly, it’s just that the differences between demon swords can be vast, entirely depending on which demon material was used as the primary component. As for sharpness and such, it certainly isn’t superior. I often heard stories when I was traveling, about young masters in the capital who used their family’s collected demon sword in duels, only to have the demon sword cut in two with a casual strike, losing face in the process and becoming fodder for gossip."

Chen Yunyun tilted her head, clearly unfamiliar with such sensational news.

However, she had insights about this demon sword.

"Young Master Diao, the Blood Drying Sword will provoke the holder’s desire for slaughter, throwing them into a frenzied state. Using blood as a medium, it deepens the connection between the sword and the holder, slowly draining their blood to nurture itself."

"But as Mrs. Diao stated, a demon sword today is considered a fragile sword artifact. In ordinary sword clashes, it may seem fine. But against a masterfully crafted treasure sword, it could either lose or suffer damage, making it hardly count as a first-rate sword, more like second-rate."

"However, considering its collectible value, this sword would fetch a surprisingly high price at auction."

Listening to their words, Fang Yu gained a rough understanding of this unfamiliar concept of demon sword.

Then, he thought of the widely renowned Hei Ningyu, instinctively asking.

"Is Hei Ningyu’s Black Rain Sword also a demon sword?"

Almost simultaneously, both women shook their heads.

"Young Master Diao, as I have mentioned, due to the technique, today’s sword masters cannot possibly use demon swords. Although the Black Rain Sword has been passed down for many years, it truly exemplifies contemporary forging skills, not an ancient demon sword." Chen Yunyun explained.

"My dear, ’demon sword,’ you should notice from these words that it has to do with demons. It is said that in ancient times, the human martial arts didn’t involve demon martial artists or believers, only pure martial arts. To advance further in martial arts, these twisted artifacts called demon swords emerged. Despite meticulous maintenance or perfect restoration, they are difficult to use frequently, let alone as a primary weapon." Ding Hui also explained.

Despite their explanations, Fang Yu could not help but cast his eyes on the Blood Drying Sword.

Just by touching the Blood Drying Sword earlier, the feeling of demon blood surging made him crave to touch it again.

What would happen if he fused the Green Demon Blood with the Blood Drying Sword?

That strange sensation of agitation was something he had never felt with any other weapon.

"I want this sword."

Fang Yu stated bluntly.

He had used numerous weapons, and now they were struggling to keep up with his strength.

Were it not for the Primordial Body Technique creating bone powder to coat his swords and condensing bone blades, enhancing and replacing his weapons’ strength, these weapons would have failed to withstand today’s intense battles.

It can be said that most of the time, outside of normal conditions, Fang Yu used cultivation techniques in place of weapons to fight.

But if he had a good weapon, the enhancement to his combat power would be significant.

"Young Master Diao, this demon sword..."

Chen Yunyun looked a bit troubled but quickly steadied her expression.

"Young Master Diao, I will help you negotiate. I will definitely find a way to make Lord Jia yield it to you!"

Fang Yu’s unique nature made Chen Yunyun firmly stand in support of him.

To even say that for Fang Yu, she might sacrifice something involving Lord Jia, ensuring one of them withdraws in exchange for Fang Yu’s involvement.
