Chapter IX Purchasing Equipment
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Then please ask Princess Lanqiu to help promote it." He handed Kubo four bottles of perfume: "Just take pictures of these four bottles, the fragrances of these four bottles are different."
Kubo asked, "What is the name of this perfume? I want a good name to be auctioned to make a sensation." Li Qiang nodded and said, "Yes! Well, it's called 'Dream Night'." He doesn't care what the perfume was originally called.
Everyone applauded, Dreamy Night, and there was a mysterious feeling. Kubo said, "I think this auction will be very exciting, Dreamy Night...awesome!"
Princess Lanqiu was playing with the bottle of perfume, and couldn't help but feel happy. She smiled and said, "No problem, the boss's instructions, the little girl will do it." She held Boboran's hand and smiled, "Sister Bobo, my sister is going to Sister Anya's place. Can I accompany my sister, or, my sister rents a flying board from the Big League, okay?" Her last words clearly showed the smell of acting coquettishly.
Boboran smiled and said, "Okay, I want to see that crazy girl Aya, so my sister will accompany you. Hehe, little girl, I want my sister to be your bodyguard."
Li Qiang didn't know how great Princess Lanqiu had. It was precisely because of Princess Lanqiu's promotion that "Dream Night" at the auction was sold at a terrifying sky-high price. The people she dated were either rich or noble.
Kankanchi was extremely anxious, scratching her head constantly, and her green hair was messy. He really liked Boboran very much. It would be difficult for them to see them again as soon as they left. Li Qiang saw it all, so he said, "Hey, I know that the warriors in the Fan Kingdom are quite powerful. Let's do this. Kankanchi, too. Remember to protect Princess Lanqiu and the others, are you clear?" He said, "Kub, can you find a set of flying wings? Lao Kan used to be a Tianji soldier, and he would be much more powerful with flying wings." He didn't dare to give him the flying wings he snatched from his bracelet. It was a standard flying wing used in the army. Those who were in the army knew at a glance that it would be troublesome to put it on.
Kubo agreed and immediately ordered him to find a good set of flying wings.
Kankanchi's face turned green with excitement and said happily: "Yes! Boss, I must protect the princess!"
Nashan laughed "Puchi", but pretended to be fine again and said, "Well, this room is quite big, hey, Lao Pa, did I blush... The room seems too hot, haha... hey... hey." He walked to Kankanchi and whispered, "Lao Kan, what a beautiful errand, congratulations, I, Lao Na, will fight for it next time."
Kankanchi nodded as if nothing had happened and said, "Well, it's a good job..." He raised his foot and kicked Nashan aside, and smiled, "Go cool down!" Nashan asked for help: "Tange, help, Lao Kan is very angry, how about it, let's let him calm the fire." Tange waved his hand and said, "I'm nothing about him..." The two old enemies started a war of verbal battle again.
Kankanchi quietly stood behind Boboran and waited to set off with satisfaction.
After seeing off Princess Lanqiu and her party, Li Qiang and Hongqian discussed it and decided not to go to the Sakasu Trading Company for now, because the auction was about to begin, and they planned to go to the Sakasu Trading Company to ask for people after the auction.
Li Qiang asked Tange: "You used to be a logistics officer. Is there a manufacturing workshop you are familiar with in Fengnan City? I want to go and take a look."
Tange said, "I want to find an acquaintance to take it with me. I am not very familiar with the maker of Fengnan City."
Hongqian asked curiously: "Uncle Master, don't our Chongxuan Sect have a better method to make weapons? No famous craftsmen in the Tanbang continent can compare with us, and they can't compete with us. Why do Uncle Master still ask them?"
Li Qiang smiled and said, "I know this, but there are also special aspects in the manufacture of weapons and armor on the Tanbang continent. We can also learn from it. Only by seeing more can we know more." Hongqian bowed his head and said, "Uncle Master is right, I understand." Li Qiang shook his head, another disciple like Zhao Hao.
Kubo said, "Boss, I am more familiar with Fengnan City. There is a private weapon shop that is very famous. We can go and have a look."
Hongqian asked, "Is it Zhenhou Gunfang?"
Kubo nodded: "Yes, Master, we are very familiar with him. Besides, he has always wanted to see you? Their family should be considered a good one."
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, let's go there for a walk."
Zhenhou Gunfang is one of the most famous weapons shops in Tanbang. The owner of the gun shop is very mysterious. There are several weapon makers in the gun shop, and they are rated as the master level in Tanbang. In fact, the real power of Zhenhou Gunfang is not weapon manufacturing. Their ace is the manufacturing of armor. Every year, a fine product is participating in the auction. The price is amazing. The amount of money obtained after the auction accounts for one-third of the normal income of the gun shop. I heard that the armor that participated in the auction was made by the owner of the gun shop himself.
Zhenhou Gunfang is located in an inconspicuous alley in Fengnan City. It is really hard to find someone who doesn’t know. Li Qiang wondered, “This is the famous Zhenhou Gunfang? Why is it built in such a remote place?”
Hongqian explained: "Uncle Shi, it is illegal for all private gun shops in Tanbang. However, local governments turn a blind eye to a famous private gun shop like Zhenhou Gunfang. However, the gun shop cannot set up stalls and set up shops openly. If that happens, the government will definitely seal them off. This is not the business premises of the gun shop, but the owner of the gun shop."
Tange added: "Only one place is a private gun shop that can open a store. There are only all the weapons and equipment there, but it's messy." Kubo interrupted: "Are you talking about Baiyangu? Haha, that's a place that doesn't care. I've been to it before and have fought several times. There are all ordinary goods there, and there are almost no high-quality products."
Li Qiang looked around and found that this was a very deep alley. In fact, it should be said to be a passage. There was no one entering and leaving quietly. The faint yellow light pulled everyone's shadows very long. The dark black door was extremely ordinary, and there was no sign or text to attract business. There was a half-foot-long thing like a copper stick hanging on the door. There was a hexagonal single-line decoration on the door, and there was a small hole in each corner. The overall feeling seemed a bit yin.
Kubo skillfully picked up the copper stick, inserted it into a small hole in the door, clamped his fingers and flicked it, then retreated to the side and waited quietly. After a while, the door gently slid open, Kubo waved his hand and walked in first, and Li Qiang and others followed him in.
Because Fengnan City is a semi-underground city, the yard I saw after entering the door was like a hall, soft white light sprinkled from the ceiling, and a strange blue black stone that was six meters tall stood in the yard. The most surprising thing was that the stone was covered with green vine plants, and there were many light blue five-star fruits on the vines. The ground was paved with milky white materials, which looked extremely clean.
As soon as Li Qiang entered the yard, he felt very comfortable and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that some people like this kind of strange stone here. It's really good. Some people in our hometown like to play with stones and appreciate stones, but they have rarely seen such a big one. This stone is pretty good, but in our hometown, it's not the best."
"Haha, someone came into me and only talked about stones and weapons. It turned out to be Brother Kubo. Who is this young man?...Oh, Senior Hong is here. I am really honored to me. Please! Please!" This is an old man with wrinkles on his face and gray-haired and white beard. He walked from the room to the yard with excitement and joy on his face.
He was wearing a clean white short suit, with various tools hanging on his waist, and many unknown tools and other things on his arms, as was the same on both sides of his thighs, with wide shoulders and narrow waists, looking full of energy. If he didn't look at his face, he would think he was a young man.
Hongqian smiled and said, "Old beetle, no matter when you see you, you will be covered in your body. How about it? Have you reached the Nascent Soul Stage? Well, it's still a little short, but it's too soon. Come on... Let me introduce it. This is my elder of the sect, my uncle Li Qiang." He pulled the old man over and said to Li Qiang, "He is the real owner of Zhenhou Gunfang, from the Western Continent, Nanzitong, he is also a cultivator, hehe, nicknamed the old beetle."
Nan Zitong heard so many words, Li Qiang was actually Hongqian's elder. Of course he knew what sect Hongqian was. Chongxuan Sect is the most famous sect in the cultivation world. It is the only sect in the cultivation world with crafts. He had received some guidance from Hongqian a long time ago, and his level of crafts immediately jumped to a new level. Li Qiang was Hongqian's elder, which was not even more powerful. He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he respectfully gave a meeting ceremony: "Old beetle greets senior!"
Li Qiang was annoyed that he should say hello to Hongqian and the others in advance. He would do whatever he could. After becoming brothers with Fu Shan, his seniority was really terrifying. He was treated as an elder at all times. He was very uncomfortable with his hands and feet: "Old beetle, I'm not polite to you. I'll call you old beetle, you can call me brother, you can call me boss, just don't call me senior!"
Kubo smiled and said, "Brother Nan, call him the boss just like me."
Nan Zitong said readily: "Okay, please call me Boss, please! Haha, everyone come in and talk."
Only a few friends knew about Nanzitong's residence. This was where he lived in seclusion. His production workshop was hidden underground. He took Li Qiang and his party through the house and walked to a very small empty house. He squatted down and fiddled with it in the corner of the house. A downward passage suddenly appeared on the ground.
Kubo smiled and said, "The old beetle is going to offer treasures. This is his production workshop. Idle people can't enter here. We are all benefiting from the boss." Nan Zitong said on the stairs, "Senior Hong came here many years ago, and he still remembers it fresh." Hongqian smiled and said, "That time was deceived by you. By the way, you said to give me a good arm guard, hehe, you should give it to me now."
Nan Zitong cried out, "Oh, Senior Hong, do you still like my skills? I thought you were joking, okay... Let's do this, when you get down, you can pick something you like." Hongqian slapped Nashan's shoulder and said, "This thing is for you, you can choose whatever you like if you go down."
Nashan asked in surprise, "Senior Brother, why did you give it to me? Hehe, it seems that I, Lao Na, have a lot of face." He began to intoxicate himself again. Hongqian said with a serious expression: "First, you are my junior brother, second, you speak too unscrupulously, I am going to seal your mouth with a gift, third, this is a favor, and it is not my thing anyway..."
No one could have thought that Hongqian was so serious and would make jokes about being kind. Tange first laughed: "Yes...yes... he is a famous stinky mouth. When it comes to his boy's mouth, the taste will change...haha."
"Haha... no matter what reason he is, everything is available... I will say a lot of things, haha." Several people went down to the production workshop all the way.
This is a very spacious underground production workshop, with a black cauldron standing in the center. Although it was the first time I saw it, Li Qiang knew that it was the Xunfeng Furnace, a cauldron made with fairy stone as the base fire, and it was a necessary item for the "refining" method.
Li Qiang carefully observed the half-person-high cauldron. It looked very strange, with irregular edges, the cauldron face was flat, and there were immortal stones of various attributes embedded on it, which seemed to be arranged in a strange formation. The color around the cauldron was black and blue, but the surface of the cauldron face was visible to people. The colorful fairy stones were shining with light on the cauldron face, making them look misty and mysterious and hazy.
The old beetle Nan Zitong followed Li Qiang closely, staring at the master of the Chongxuan Sect's instrument making, and asked carefully: "Boss, is there anything you need to improve?" Hongqian and Kubo both pricked up their ears and stared at Li Qiang to see if he had any ideas.
Li Qiang reached out to touch the cauldron, and it turned out to be hot. If ordinary people accidentally touched it, they might get scalded and rotten. Na Shan also reached out to him curiously and was slapped by Li Qiang: "Na Shan, play with it, this is hot."
Nashan just didn't believe in this evil, so he turned to the other side and reached out to touch it, and a thunderous howl suddenly echoed through the production workshop: "Wow! Boss, it's really hot... Old... Old beetle, where is there cold water... Wow..." Li Qiang was so amused and laughed: "Tange, you take Nashan to find water Chongchong. This guy is too curious and he can't touch it even if he says he can't touch it."
Li Qiang asked, "Old Beetle, you are a refining method. I don't know much. I only know some methods of refining the mind. I may not be able to make any suggestions for improvement."
Nan Zitong almost fell to the ground: "Boss, the method of refining the mind is the supreme method of refining weapons in the world of cultivation. Oh, of course you are not interested in refining."
Li Qiang smiled and said, "You don't need to belittle yourself. Refining has its own characteristics. Old beetle, can you see the armor you made? I want to ask for advice." Hongqian said, "The old beetle's things are still very distinctive, and they should be one of the best in Tanbang continent." Nan Zitong's face showed a slight pride. Hongqian's words did not exaggerate. The equipment of Zhenhou Gunfang is famous in both continents.
Na Shan walked over with his hands in his arms: "Senior brother, there is nothing here except the hot black guys. Hey, where are you giving me the favor?" He spoke to Hongqian but looked at Nan Zitong.
This is the first time Nan Zitong has encountered such a living treasure. He is also a master-level figure in Tanbang. Others are trembling when they see him, so they dare not joke around. However, Na Shan's identity is different. He is still an elder seriously. He hurriedly said, "The things are here, I will take you to visit."
He walked to the side and used a seal on the wall. The wall slowly became transparent and disappeared in a short while.
Nashan exclaimed, "He***, there are so many things." Tange was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak. Nan Zitong said proudly, "All the fine products in Zhenhou Gunfang are here, please read them slowly. Oh, Lao Na... I'll tell you Lao Na has no objection, go and pick one by yourself."
This is a space of more than 300 square meters, with various equipment neatly displayed. Attack weapons only occupy one corner, and the others are all kinds of armor, shields, protective covers and some strange-shaped equipment. Even Li Qiang doesn't recognize it.
Nashan looked around with a greedy look on his face. He hesitated for a moment, walked straight to a row of armor, tilted his bald head and looked left and right. In fact, he didn't know how good or bad it was at all, but he had a trick of it. He kept aiming at Nan Zitong. When he found that he walked to one of the armors, Nan Zitong's body was slightly stunned. He was happy. This must be a treasure. He took the armor without hesitation and said as if nothing had happened: "Well, forget it, just this one, I'm sorry to take too good things."
Li Qiang took it over and took a look. Daqi: "Hey, Nashan, I can't tell. You have a good vision. This armor is very good. It's much stronger than the other armors here. You have found the treasure." He returned the armor to Nashan: "It's really strange. You probably don't understand this, and you have a good luck."
Nashan laughed proudly and said, "Haha, boss, I don't understand, but he understands." He pointed at Zitong with his hand.
Nan Zitong smiled bitterly and said, "This is the armor I am going to participate in this year's auction. I see you are picking it and I haven't spoken. How do you know what I think? It's strange." Na Shan said proudly, "It's because you keep looking at me." Li Qiang suddenly realized: "I understand, he sees your reaction. Hey, Na Shan is really smart."
Paben looked dissatisfied: "Lao Na has mastered this trick in the Black Prison. When he was the boss, it would be difficult for anyone to hide a good crystal. His poisonous eye could be clearly visible at a glance..." Nashan shouted: "Brother, Lao Na has changed his evil spirits long ago. You still mention... that sad past... wuwu..." He covered his face with his hand, and glanced at Li Qiang with one eye through his fingers: "Since I surrendered to the boss, I, Lao Na, are now a good person."
Tange smiled and said, "You are crying so fake, but our old man is really well-behaved now... Come on... Be good boy, uncle gives you delicious food..."
Na Shan hummed and put down his hand: "Tange...you, boss, Tange takes advantage of me." Tan Ge turned around and hid behind Li Qiang, making a face at Na Shan. These two guys are very tempted and even more unscrupulous when making jokes.
Li Qiang slapped him and said, "I'm still good at getting it cheap, I deserve a beating... Oh, old beetle, I want to customize one hundred sets of armor, one hundred face shields, and various weapons for you, how about it?"
Nan Zitong was startled: "Boss, you want to rebel, no... that's not what I mean. I mean, why do you want so much equipment? You are only a few of you..." Hongqian also asked curiously: "What does Uncle Master want so much armor to do... Oh, are you planning to sell it to the Western Continent?"
Li Qiang said, "I have a group of brothers who are lingering in the mainland of Tanbang. They can no longer go back to their hometowns. The mainland of Tanbang is so messy now. I have to train them in armed manner, so at least let them have the power to protect themselves. Old beetle, your equipment is just right for use. Their level is very low and they cannot use the weapons and armor of cultivators. How can I use two weapons to exchange for your equipment?"
Nan Zitong's eyes lit up: "Is it made by the method of refining the mind?"
Li Qiang smiled and said, "I refined it myself. I can't tell you if I refine it, but if you give you these two weapons, you can also figure out some truths."
Not to mention Nan Zitong's excitement, even Hongqian and Kubo were envious. Such weapons of the master are hard to come by in the cultivation world. Li Qiang actually took out two of them to exchange them. Kubo was so itchy that he couldn't bear it. He smiled with a shameless smile: "Boss, it's not easy to get equipment, I'll order them. Hi, let's give those two immortal weapons to our master and apprentice."
When Nan Zitong heard this, he jumped up so high, his old face turned red and he kept screaming strangely. He looked like he was already crazy.
Everyone laughed...
