Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 30 — Heirloom Level
Zhou Yuan wanted to focus on increasing his strength first at least enough to protect his family from distress, not to mention he still had hatred for the organization that had killed him in his first life.
"Grandfather, that's not me..." Zhou Yuan was hard to explain but he was definitely not ready to have a relationship let alone fiancee.
"Oh Grandfather understood, lest you have already put your heart on someone," Guess Zhou Bing slightly teased her grandson. "Is that Xiao Fan's grandson?"
"Grandfather is not like that..." Zhou Yuan was getting more and more wrong.
"I'm just kidding Yuan'er..." Zhou Bing chuckled. "But if you intend to have two women, Grandpa doesn't matter."
"Grandfather..."
Zhou Bing let out a laugh, for a moment he forgot that his grandson was still a child at this time considering Zhou Yuan's physical appearance was not like 12 years old.
"So what about Grandpa's previous offer, you want to join the Competition?" Zhou Bing changed the topic to the talk back.
Zhou Yuan scratched his head, thinking for a while before finally nodding to join the competition.
He felt it was time to go and see the outside world, a hundred years had passed, there were many changes already happening and Zhou Yuan wanted to see that.
Zhou Bing smiled inwardly, he had already guessed that Zhou Yuan would join the journey, that Zhou Yuan's presence in the competition would reveal to other sects that the Zhou Family now had talented descendants.
Zhou Bing then informed him before leaving that he had to prepare in advance, it was likely that they would depart in one more week.
***
A week passed, the time that his grandfather Zhou Yuan had given him to do the preparation of supplies and used to practice.
When the day of his departure had arrived, Zhou Yuan had already prepared what he needed into the bundle he had attributed to the saddle of the horse.
Both of them did use two horses in the journey later, Zhou Bing did not like to travel by riding a carriage like nobles in general, especially Zhou Bing was a swordsman.
When Zhou Bing left, he had left everything to Zhou Yao to lead his family for a while.
Lin Ruyue and Zhou Yao then escorted Zhou Yuan to the gate, both of whom had allowed Zhou Yuan to go to the competition.
"Yuan'er, the outside world is very dangerous, follow Grandpa Bing's orders and never refute!" Lin Ruyue reminded with her care.
"Mom, I understand..." Zhou Yuan nodded slowly, receiving food from his mother.
"Yuan'er, I've wanted to give you this weapon for a long time and it just so happens that today is the right time..." Zhou Yao gave Zhou Yuan a sword.
The sword had a white sheath color, there seemed to be an unusual aura enveloping it and Zhou Yuan realized that.
"Dad isn't this an heirloom?" Zhou Yuan was shocked when he recognized him.
Zhou Yao smiled faintly, he wanted to explain but Zhou Yuan already knew about it. Indeed, the sword he gave was not an ordinary sword but an heirloom weapon.
Zhou Yuan then pulled the sword from the scabbard and revealed the sharp blade.
'This is a first-class heirloom!' After looking at it for a moment, Zhou Yuan finally learned of the heirloom quality with an expression full of shock.
In the martial world, heirloom weapons have their respective levels assessed in terms of quality and ability.
The heirlooms that have the lowest quality are named as Third Class Heirlooms, next Second Class Heirlooms, and First Class Heirlooms.
The heirloom that Zhou Yuan held right now was a First Class heirloom, its quality was extremely sharp and sturdy.
The next level is the Named Class Heirloom, as the name implies, the Named Class Heirloom usually already has its own name in the weapon.
Xiao Rou is one example of a swordsman who has a Class Named Heirloom from the sword given by his grandfather, as far as Zhou Yuan knows the name of the sword used by Xiao Rou is Red Waves Sword, Red Waves Sword, one of the swords that can split the waterfall.
Subsequent heirloom qualities are referred to as Cloud Class Heirlooms, at this level of quality, heirlooms usually have supernatural powers such as having their own elements, can be moved over long distances, have a healing effect and so on.
Cloud Class heirlooms are very rare in the martial world and only a few certain warriors have them.
Long ago Zhou Yuan also had an heirloom of Cloud Class quality in his first life that came from the granting of his teacher, the heirloom had been lost by the time Zhou Yuan died and had no idea where it was now.
The quality of the last sword is called the Ancient Heirloom, even if there is the name of the level but there is actually no heirloom at this level.
No one knows what kind of Ancient Class heirlooms have the qualities or abilities because even from the history of the millennia era there is no one who has heirlooms in the class.
Ancient Class heirlooms are often used as myths or even no one believes in their existence.
Rumor has it that the Ancient Class Heirloom could destroy the great world, annihilate civilization, eliminate life. Master Zhou Yuan believed in the existence of heirlooms in such qualities.
Zhou Yuan then sheathed his navel back after seeing the pretty good quality of his sword.
The First Class Heirloom Sword remained valuable in the martial world it could even be a struggle, it could be, Zhou Yuan was a little surprised how a middle-class Noble Family like the Zhou Family had this type of heirloom quality when at first the price of an heirloom was very expensive.
Making heirlooms is not the same as making ordinary weapons, in addition to the different materials made, the process time also requires a short time.
The craftsman of heirloom weapons must also be a high-level swordsman, because in forging it requires a lot of power in.
"Thank you Father, this sword will be Yuan's use well." Zhou Yuan expressed his gratitude then hugged his father and mother in turn.
Traveling today would cause longing in Zhou Yuan's heart to his parents, after 12 years had passed, they were the ones who meant something to Zhou Yuan in this second life.
"Be careful, dear..." Lin Ruyue kissed her son's forehead.
Zhou Yuan nodded, and then mounted his horse, although Zhou Yuan was 12 years old, but his height exceeded his usual age, so he could easily ride the horse without the help of others.
After a long time using the Diamond Bone technique, Zhou Yuan realized that his body's growth was growing faster one of them was his height which was like someone who was 15 years old.
Zhou Yuan then drove his horse away from his residence. Zhou Bing was already waiting outside the gate. "Yuan'er, are you ready?"
Zhou Yuan nodded, he was even impatient with this trip.
"Then we leave now."
The pair of grandfathers and grandchildren then left Riva City, both of them started moving towards the Green Bamboo Sect.
