Chapter 1948 Payment For The Axe

Seeing that the Head Elder hadn't given a clear response, Lin Mu thought that his offer was not enough.

"How about more?" Lin Mu had no idea how much the cost of something like this would be. "Twice that?" He asked.

It was hard to put a price tag on a Peak Grade immortal weapon as their functions and abilities could greatly vary. It also depends on the cultivator who was taking the weapon, whether it fit them or not.

As such the price could increase further.

In the current case, the compatibility between the Flash Cleave Axe and Xiao Yang was perfect, which would mean the price would be on the higher side. Not to mention, they had already witnessed the power of the weapon.

It was certainly high and in the hands of a stronger expert, it would only grow further.

"Wait!" Head Elder Heng interrupted Lin Mu. "We cannot exactly determine the cost, not just because it would originally be auctioned but also because you also have a hand in its creation." He spoke.

"I do?" Lin Mu raised his brows in doubt.

"Of course. Without your insight into the Formation Dao Embryo's application, I would have never been able to make the Flash Cleave Axe." Head Elder Heng stated while Head Elder Dajian nodded.

"Then I can at least pay the cost of the materials." Lin Mu offered next.

"That isn't needed either. We didn't exactly use anything that's too valuable for us." Head Elder Dajian shook his head.

Lin Mu thought over it and realized that the elder was right. The creation of the Flash Cleave Axe basically involved two main materials, the Sap of the Snow Glass Pear Tree and a branch from Elder Pear himself. Both of these materials would be considered rare elsewhere, but for the Serene Glass Valley, they were considered renewable.

And with how long the power had been in existence, they had plenty of resources stashed away.

In fact, they were lucky that they only needed one set of materials in order to make the Flash Cleave Axe. They had prepared several more, just in case a mistake happened and the original set became unusable.

This was rather common in the manufacture of the Immortal Weapons, especially ones that were new and hadn't been made before. It was one of the basic requirements that one prepared multiple sets of materials in order to be able to reattempt the creation of the weapon.

The two Head Elders succeeding in one go basically meant that they had great luck as well as skill in being able to do it. They were fully prepared to fail a few times and repeat until they succeeded. But much to their surprise, their very first attempt had worked out.

"Hmm… I can't just take this from you without payment." Lin Mu still didn't find it acceptable.

"Then how about this." Head Elder Heng had an idea. "Could you leave a Yang Dao and Yang Immortal Qi signature here?" He asked after looking at Xiao Yang.

"It should be possible." Lin Mu thought about it.

"Yeah, it would be much more valuable to us. None of us can use the Yang Dao, and Yang Immortal Qi isn't easy to come across even if we buy treasures that contains them. This greatly reduces our methods of teaching the juniors about it as well as including them in the various projects." Head Elder Dajian explained.

"If you could leave both of them, the juniors of the Serene Glass Valley would have a much easier time learning about them and would at least be able to apply them in their future creations if they were ever using such materials." Head Elder Heng added.

After hearing the justification of the two head elders, Lin Mu thought that it was a reasonable offer.

"What do you say Xiao Yang? Can you do it?" Lin Mu asked the snake first.

"Yes!" Xiao Yang nodded.

"Alright, let's get it done then." Lin Mu replied before looking at the two old men. "How would we be leaving a signature though?" He inquired.

"I got just the thing for it." Head Elder Dajian said before taking out a palm sized prism. "You can use this to store a Yang Dao signature. While it can't be used for anything else, it is still good for one to get a sense of what Yang Dao is like." He explained.

"And for Yang Immortal Qi, this will work." Head Elder Heng took out a simple crystal.

It looked similar to an Immortal stone, but had fine inscriptions on it. It was also much bigger than most Immortal stones which were usually kept to a standard size.

"Alright, let's start with the Yang Dao Signature first." Lin Mu said and took the prism from Head Elder Dajian. "Here you go Xiao Yang."

~hiss~

Xiao Yang touched the prism with his head and held it like that for a minute. A small spec of light appeared in the center of the prism before growing in size. A minute later it had turned into a shining white rune that read 'Yang'.

This was the Yang Dao signature!

"Marvelous… I've never seen a Dao Signature like this before." Head Elder Dajian watched it with an enthralled gaze.

"Now for the Yang Immortal Qi." Lin Mu passed on the prism and took the crystal.

This time, Xiao Yang opened his mouth and breathed out a mass of energy.

It looked like white vapor, which then flew towards the crystal and was quickly absorbed by it. And when it was fully absorbed the color of the crystal turned into a warm white color.

In a way, it had become an Immortal Stone that contained Yang immortal Qi. Though its capacity wasn't much and one wouldn't really be able to absorb from it unless they had an affinity to the Yang element too.

With that, both of the Head Elders were satisfied and quickly stored the two objects away. They were treasures to them now.
