Hence, it wasn't that Jingke didn't have a scabbard, but that Wang Ling had destroyed it as a child . Jingke's body was covered with a layer of some mysterious substance that Wang Ling to this day had been unable to see through, and which played an important role in controlling his strength .
But this substance was different from the special material in the Dao talisman seal from Wang Ming; it wasn't something that seemed to drain Wang Ling's strength when he touched it . This peach wood sword was just a street stall product which Father Wang had picked up at the bird and flower market . Until now, Wang Ling hadn't been able to clearly determine its origin .
When it spawned a sword spirit for real, which was when Jingke was born, it had actually happened six years ago when the Gate Between Worlds had just descended .
There had been a time when Wang Ling had even wondered if Jingke was related to the Gate Between Worlds .
But later it seemed to have just been a coincidence .
That was because Jingke's sword qi was too righteous; it didn't contain even the slightest whiff of evil qi . Hanging the sword by the bed could ward off evil, and when Wang Ling wielded it, it could kill demons and monsters . Its three views were so upright that Wang Ling wondered if Jingke had absorbed the essence of socialist core values before birth .
Looking back, this was the first time that Wang Ling had thought about the scabbard .
Because he had crushed Jingke's scabbard when he had still been very young, he hadn't paid any attention to it all; even when he regularly cleaned Jingke's sword body, he had never considered this issue .
Hence, when he heard Fatty Luo's words, he stared at Jingke on the sword tray in deep contemplation .
As Fatty Luo had explained, it went without saying how helpful a scabbard would be for a sword . Not every sword could automatically generate protective sword qi like Jingke . In the absence of a scabbard, many spirit swords would be faced with the problem of corrosion .
Although Jingke had protective sword qi, that didn't mean that the scabbard wasn't important . Seventy percent of a spirit sword's overall power was contained in its body, and thirty percent in its scabbard . A sword's full power couldn't be realized until the two parts were combined .
"Lord Jingke's original body is already very powerful; if you can find a suitable scabbard for him, he will become a truly godly and powerful sword . " Fatty Luo looked at Jingke and sighed with some regret .
Waving his palm-leaf fan, he looked at Wang Ling as if he wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he didn't say anything in the end .
He looked at the time and realized that it was still quite early . Wang Ling had brought Sheep over right after school . From when they had first set out to the completion of Sheep's maintenance, everything had taken less than an hour in total .
After maintenance, Sheep was in significantly better spirits than usual, and she blinked curiously at the inside of Fatty Luo's shop .
In addition to the magic treasures that were stored in the cabinets on the left and right, Fatty Luo also had a collection of some magic treasures which were prominently displayed on the wall . Each magic treasure was covered in a protective spirit layer .
"I have to confess, Ling Zhenren, that these magic treasures are the pride of my collection," Fatty Luo said and laughed . "I had official department experts appraise each of them, and they're all one hundred percent genuine . Furthermore, they have already been given valuations, so if any kind of loss happens, I can get ninety-five percent compensation for it . "
As Sheep looked around, her eyes landed on something that looked like leather armor .
It was flesh-colored leather armor covered with hair . There was also a helmet with two huge tusks mounted on each side .
"What is this?" asked Sheep as she pointed with her little finger .
