Chapter 74: The Gold Stone
During the Hunting Festival, monks from all over Blackstone County gather here. At this time every year, the two chambers of commerce will carry out some promotional and competitive activities in the free time after the riding competition, such as auctions, item displays, etc.
On the day Zhao Xue and Guo Fei came, the Mingyuan Chamber of Commerce was holding an item exhibition, and the Tang Chong Chamber of Commerce had an auction in the evening. So they first went to the Mingyuan Chamber of Commerce to watch the item display.
The exhibit area is set up on three floors. The first floor is for ordinary items, the second floor is for boutique areas, and the third floor is for treasures.
On the first floor, there is a circular exhibition stand in the wide hall. The items are clearly marked with prices, and those who like them can pay and take them away.
The jade bottle Guo Fei needs is on the first floor. There are big and small jade bottles. The small one can be held in a hand, and the big one is about several feet high. The quality of the jade can be high or low. The high-end jade bottle can be held in the hand and has a certain texture.
China Resources has a soft feel, while the low-end ones are a bit rough.
These jade bottles are not simply polished. They have runes engraved on them. They are presumably used to seal blood and elixirs. According to Zhao Xue's explanation, Guo Fei knows that runes are the basic elements for warlocks to perform spells.
, which contains the laws of heaven and earth, the movement of the five elements of nature, and is extremely magical. Warlocks spend a lot of time studying these profound runes.
Therefore, these jade bottles are worth a lot of money. If there are no runes on them, it is estimated that the blood of the hunted monsters will be exhausted soon after being put into them, and they will no longer be used as materials for making charms. The elixirs will not be able to preserve their medicinal power.
Guo Fei had very few gold coins left on him and was short of money, so he took out the fiery red staff and warlock robe that he had captured, and prepared to ask the store to get rid of them for a price.
"You want to sell this thing?" Zhao Xue was surprised when she saw Guo Fei take out the staff and the warlock's robe from his wide sleeves.
"What's wrong?"
"This is an excellent Source Spirit Bead. I'm afraid it's worth a thousand spirit stones. If you sell it here, they won't give you a high price. What a pity." Zhao Xue shook his head.
"Hehe. Otherwise, the princess will advance me the items I need. Anyway, you still owe me a lot of money. How about I mortgage this warlock robe to you?" Guo Fei said with a smile.
"I have paid back the money I owe you, so don't keep talking about it in the future. However, I am not a stingy person. If you are short of money, I can lend it to you first and return it later. Please give me this staff and the warlock's robe first.
Just give it to me as a mortgage."
"I'm really greedy. The staff is my only valuable thing, so I can't give it to you. I can give you this robe, and you pay for the things I bought today. People can't be so unkind." Guo Fei stuffed the dead man's robe to Zhao Xue,
Hide the staff in the middle of your sleeve.
"You are now well-known in Blackstone County, don't be so petty! People will look down on you." Zhao Xue frowned at Guo Fei's actions.
"Haha. How much is reputation worth? I am a poor man, and I know that a penny can't help a hero. Now I am short of money, and you, the old man who owes me a debt, won't pay back the debt. How can I be asked to rob you?" Guo Fei said with a smile.
"I've got you. Whatever you need today, I will pay your bills. But don't be too open-minded. If I overspend, I will have a hard time in the second half of the year."
"I can rest assured because of the princess's words. It will never exceed the amount of gold coins you owe me. Hehe, plus interest!"
After hearing Guo Fei's words, Zhao Xue's face tightened and she bit her lips fiercely at Guo Fei.
Twenty jade bottles, ten large and ten small, five soul-sealing balls, two capable of sealing demon-general-level beast souls, and three capable of sealing demon-guard-level beast souls. A total of fifty thousand gold coins.
When Zhao Xue paid, her face turned green. However, these are all necessities for entering the Black Rock Highlands and cannot be left without. So she had already prepared to pay for Guo Fei. It was acceptable to her.
After purchasing these things, Guo Fei had people pack them up and put them on his body. In front of Zhao Xue, it was not easy to put them directly into the soldier talisman space.
"Shall we go back and take a rest before watching the auction in the evening!" Guo Fei walked towards the second floor, Zhao Xue said with a somewhat ugly face.
"Don't worry, I haven't gone to the boutique area yet, why don't you take a look at the treasure area?" Guo Fei smiled and stepped into the second floor.
"As promised, I won't pay."
"Your Majesty, with your status, it's ridiculous to say such things!" Guo Fei said with a faint smile.
"Little rascal!" Zhao Xue chuckled, and then said with a sweet smile: "I am treating you today, and I will buy you whatever you want. However, my princess' money is not easy to spend. Be careful and you will choke to death if you eat it.
you."
"Hahaha, it's better to choke to death than starve to death!" Guo Fei joked and quickly walked up to the second floor.
Such a large chamber of commerce should have good materials for refining weapons. Guo Fei’s most important thing at the moment is to buy the materials for making axes and guns. The materials for the first crafting do not necessarily have to be the best, but at least they must have dark iron, black iron, and black iron.
Only the hardness of the steel is sufficient, and most importantly, only negative materials can be used.
The second floor is indeed a boutique area, with many boutiques on display. There are even a few bottles of second-grade elixirs. This is an eye-opener for Guo Fei. But looking at the price, it is also amazing. And it needs to be exchanged for spiritual stones and gold coins.
Yes, but the price is too high and Guo Fei cannot afford it.
The spirit stones in the Soldier Talisman space were not easy to show up, so Guo Fei had to give up the idea of buying them. There are such things here, and I think there will be no shortage of them all over the mainland. There will be opportunities to buy them in the future.
In the corner of the second floor, there was a huge black hard stone that attracted Guo Fei. It should be an iron stone, and it also gave off a faint and extremely rich metallic smell. Guo Fei's eyes lit up and he walked over.
"Man, what's the price of this thing?" Guo Fei pointed.
"Sir, this iron stone is very hard and is an excellent material for refining weapons!" This person naturally knew Zhao Xue, and of course he also recognized Guo Fei. After the selection competition, almost everyone knew about Guo Fei and Zhao
Together with Xue, people are more sure of his identity.
"The hardness is very high, but unfortunately it cannot be melted, so it is also a waste product!" Guo Fei said lightly.
The waiter's face turned red and he said with a smile: "My lord turns out to be an expert!"
Guo Fei smiled ridiculously and touched it with his hand. The metal contained in this iron stone was not an ordinary metal, but the best "Yaojin". It was described in "Qi Dao Alchemy", but unfortunately, these metals
It is not a whole piece, but bits and pieces contained in the iron stone. This iron stone is not an ordinary stone, but a "fire-resistant stone", which is extremely difficult to smelt, so the obsidian gold is hidden in the stone and cannot be taken out by ordinary people.
, can’t be used. This kind of stone also has a professional name in "Qi Dao Refining Art" called "泯金石", which means a stone submerged in metal.
To the average refiner, such a stone is just a piece of "tasteless" stone. They are greedy to look at, but unpalatable to eat.
However, as mentioned in the book "The Refining Technique of the Way of Instruments", such "Metal Gold Stone" is an excellent weapon refining material for weapon refiners who have practiced Jinyan Jue. None of the metals hidden in the Pure Gold Stone are
Ordinary product, otherwise it would not be fused with such a strong stone with high temperature resistance. The way to remove it is to use the "Golden Flame Jue".
The Golden Flame Technique is an excellent technique for extracting and smelting metal. According to the book "The Art of Weapon Refining", this technique is an essential technique for becoming a great weapon refiner.
Although Guo Fei didn't know his own Five Elements attributes, he guessed from Uncle Wen's words that 90% of the Five Elements belonged to gold, and he should be able to practice the Golden Flame Technique obtained from the underground world.
Therefore, Guo Fei wants this piece of pure gold stone.
"How can I sell this piece of iron stone?" Guo Fei pretended to be casual.
"Sir, you want this piece of iron stone?" the waiter said in surprise as if he didn't believe it.
"I'm missing a horse-mounted stone at home, and I want to buy it back." Guo Fei said with a smile.
When the man heard this, he was a little speechless. Using such a precious iron stone to mount the horse stone made him really rich.
The clerk hurried away and called the shopkeeper in charge of this floor.
"Sir, this iron stone looks like a treasure, but it is actually unusable. We opened our business to gain credibility. I have to tell the truth. If you buy it back, if it cannot be used, part of the gold coins will be deducted when you return it." The shopkeeper seemed to say.
Encountering such a situation more than once, I reminded him in a deep voice.
"How much?" Guo Fei knocked and said calmly.
"Twenty thousand gold coins!"
When Guo Fei heard this, he felt happy, but he shook his head and said: "It's too expensive. I just went back to make a stepping stone and make the picture look good. Your price is too high."
"I want twenty thousand gold coins!" At this moment, a voice came from the side. Guo Fei looked up and his face suddenly darkened.
