The NPC, however, will only start selling items after you complete the Hidden Dangers in Peaceful Life and Shadows of the Past side quests.

Hidden Dangers in Peaceful Life can be unlocked by reaching Union level 15. Once completed, you will unlock Shadows of the Past automatically. After he opens his shop, Shilang’s location will be marked with a shopping bag icon on your map and minimap.

The final free 4-star weapon in the game, you can get a free copy of the Dauntless Evernight broadsword by finding it at the Port City of Guixu. The weapon will be located in the Sea of Flames area and will only become available after you complete the We Promise, We Deliver side quest. You can check out the weapon’s exact location below.

Where to find the free 4-star Dauntless Evernight broadsword

As showcased in the image below, you can find the free Dauntless Evernight broadsword by heading to the top of a building located northwest of the Inferno Rider arena. For those who finished the quest, the weapon will be located at the exact spot where you threw the flaming blade while in control of the Echo.
