040. The Old Man Selling Swords (Part 2)

There was a magic weapon long sword hanging in the store, which was said to have been made by an expert from Wufuqiu. Hanxiong asked the price, and although he looked hot, he gave up the idea of ​​buying it. The sword was too expensive, and it cost the same amount.

The price can buy several carts of goods and a team of male and female slaves, and build a luxurious mansion after returning home.

Huwa could tell that Hanxiong was very rich, even richer than Yanfeng. He was the richest among the seven monks. He might be able to buy the sword regardless of the cost, but if he had money

It's not that fancy. Maybe the store didn't intend to sell it at all, but just hung it in the hall.

I couldn't afford this one, but I could still choose something else in the store. Hanxiong also took a fancy to a fine copper broad sword, hung it on his waist and made gestures for a long time. It did have a bit of the aura of a general on the battlefield. But he

I'm still a little hesitant, because this sword isn't cheap either, and everything in this shop is incredibly expensive.

Huwa also took the broad sword and rubbed it for a while, and concentrated on its spiritual functions. It was indeed a very sharp high-grade treasure. It was different from ordinary low-grade bronzes. It had been carefully crafted and refined with special magic power.

, if mana is poured into it, it can split hard boulders without damaging its blade.

Seeing Huwa's studied look, Hanxiong asked: "Mr. Xiaolu, what do you think of this sword? If you think it's really good, I'll buy it! Your cultivation level has reached the ninth level of the fourth realm, which is comparable to

I'm much taller, so my eyesight should be better than mine."

Huwa shook his head and said: "It's true, but that's the end of it. Compared with the magic weapon used by monks, it is actually more suitable for those soldiers who have mastered the martial arts. Apart from being sharp and tough, he has nothing special.

Your spirituality is a bit reluctant as a magic weapon. When your cultivation level is higher in the future, it will be of no use. More importantly, it is too expensive and not worth it!"

Miss Xiao Sa also whispered at the side: "As long as you find the right fine copper material and are willing to spend time and energy to refine it. It's not too difficult to make such a sword. It's really not worth buying it here."

When the shop owner heard this, he smiled and said: "The things I have here are a bit expensive, but they are all genuine and good things. If you go all over Hongjin City, you won't find another one. You all have the cultivation level."

It is true that such a sword can be refined by oneself, but it will also take a lot of hard work. Since you can buy it ready-made for money, is it still too expensive? "

Yanfeng also said at the side: "Mr. Xiaolu, you can't afford such a sword, but Mr. Hanxiong can afford it. He finally took a fancy to a handful of treasures. Why should we hinder the law of fate?"

"

Hanxiong was already tempted, but after hearing what Huwa said, he didn't want to buy it. Hanxiong also realized that Huwa didn't buy anything at the market today. Everyone was choosing swords, but he didn't even ask the price.

Yes, obviously money is tight. This strong man

Putting down the sword, he patted Huwa on the shoulder and said: "You are right, this sword is indeed too expensive. If I buy it back, I will definitely get beaten by my father!... Did you like anything at the market just now?

?If you are short of money, I will lend it to you!"

Huwa smiled: "I don't know how long I will have to travel in the future, and I don't want to carry too many things with me. Brother Hanxiong, do you really want to choose a good sword? If you are not afraid that it will be too troublesome to raise the sword in the future. I

I saw a good sword at the market two days ago, no less good than the magic weapon hanging in this shop, but ordinary people may not recognize it."

Hanxiong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Huwa explained: "It's just an inconspicuous little stall, and the swords sold are even more inconspicuous. I've seen it for three days. It has never been sold. I don't know if the person selling it is here today."

Yanfeng was a little unhappy, because this was indeed the most luxurious shop in Hongjincheng. He and the boss had known each other before, and he had bought a sword in this shop two years ago. But Huwa said that the market

There was a small, inconspicuous stall on the street, and there was a sword that was better than the swords here, which made him feel very humiliated.

Yanfeng frowned and said: "Mr. Xiaolu, are you mistaken?... There are such good swords at the small stalls, why don't you buy them yourself?"

Huwa replied: "I have my own magic weapon, and I don't lack a sword. As for the sword I mentioned, just go and see it and you will know. I hope the stall is still there."

Hanxiong nodded quickly and said: "Yes, let's go and take a look. Maybe it's really a good thing!"

Everyone was very curious and followed Huwa out of the store. Even the owner of the store was surprised, so he told the waiter and followed the group out to the market to watch the excitement. The market in Hongjincheng is very big, especially

During this time, there are a lot of vendors and tourists coming and going, and it is not easy to find a small stall that may be located somewhere.

Huwa led everyone to squeeze in for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and pointed ahead and said: "There is the sword embryo sold by the old man."

What Huwa was talking about now was "sword embryo" instead of "sword". The place he pointed at was not a shop, but a stall that looked like a place where villagers from this area came to the city to sell specialties. There was a piece of hemp cloth spread on the open ground.

There are a lot of mountain products on the table, but there is a strange thing next to the mountain products. If you look closely, you can see that it is a stone sword made of dark brown stone.

But this stone sword has not yet been carved, and many places on the surface are still bumpy. It is only beginning to take shape, looking like both a sword and a slender stone stick. Since the sword is a unique artifact here, it has many features.

Some shops and even nearby mountain people will also use various stones, jade, aggregates, and wood to make swords and sell them in the market. Most of these swords cannot be used for slashing, but are just decorations. Some of them are made of

It's quite beautiful.

This old man might want to make a stone sword, but it has not yet been completely made. How dare he sell it in the market? Someone laughed on the spot and said: "Mr. Xiaolu, is this the sword you are talking about? This old man is

He's here to sell mountain goods, and he has the nerve to show off his sword?"

But Huwa said: "Don't worry, let's go and ask what the price of that sword is."

Hanxiong actually went over and asked, and the old man casually quoted a price like a seller, but everyone was shocked. Although the price was not as expensive as the magic weapon long sword in the shop just now, it was comparable to what Hanxiong later chose.

The fine copper broad sword is not much cheaper. Is this old man crazy about money? Han Xiong wondered: "Old man, why is your stone sword embryo so expensive?"

If the sword is sold at this price, the old man no longer has to set up a stall in the market with linen cloth. He can directly buy a shop and become the boss himself. But the old man replied: "This is a good thing. You

Take a closer look and you will see that it is made of the essence of Wu Fu Stone."

Everyone gathered around the stall and picked up the sword to observe. After all, Yanfeng was a monk in the fifth realm. He frowned slightly when he took the stone sword and said: "This is not the essence of the martial arts stone, but is made of the stone shell of the martial arts stone."

, there is still a trace of impurities remaining in

Spirituality. Such a stone is very good to use as a sharpening stone to sharpen swords. The stone is tough and more suitable for cutting. If it is carefully refined with magic power, the brittleness of the stone can be further eliminated and it will not be easy to break. It is comparable to

A treasure made of fine steel."

The old man raised his eyelids slightly and said: "This gentleman does have some discernment. I have lived here for generations. Of course I know the martial arts stone and its uses, so this sword will be sold at this price."

Yanfeng was almost annoyed by the old man: "I have seen many swords made of the stone shell of Wufu stone, and they are also available in other shops, but how can they be sold at your price? It needs to be smitten by an expert.

Only by refining can it become a real sword. What is your sword? It is neither processed nor refined with magic power. It will break if you hit it hard!

What is truly precious is not the stone shell of the Wufu Stone, of which there are many in the mountain, but the sword-refining skills used by experts. One out of ten swords may not be successfully refined. Once the sword-refining fails, the material will be completely useless.

It will be worthless by then."

The old man frowned slightly and said: "Sir, you are an expert with magical powers, but I don't understand what you just said. Anyway, I know that this is a sword embryo made of the essence of Wufu stone. You can do something about it when you take it back.

It is refined into a magic weapon, so I will sell it at this price!"

It seems that this person is an old man in a mountain village. He heard that the shell of wufushi can be made into a sword. He got a piece of it from nowhere and took it to the market, just to sell it to those who knew how to make it.

He's a master of ware, but the price is ridiculously expensive.

Yanfeng handed the sword embryo in his hand to Han Xiong and said: "This is the sword that Mr. Xiaolu is optimistic about. If you want to buy it, buy it!" The tone was full of ridicule. Although Mr. Xiaolu has the cultivation level of the ninth rank of the fourth realm, after all,

I'm too young and don't have much knowledge. I've probably never seen a martial arts stone before. When I first came to Hongjincheng, I thought that such a stone sword embryo was a good thing.

Others didn't have the nerve to laugh at Huwa. Who didn't make a fool of himself when seeing strange and novel things while traveling around? Everyone thought the old man setting up the stall was quite funny. He dared to do such a thing without understanding the situation.

Because of the price, I took it for granted that this thing was a treasure of the monks, and I was afraid that others would take advantage of me when I sold it.

Miss Xiao Sa joked: "Old man, your sword embryos are too expensive. I can't afford them. How can you sell these mountain products?"

The old man said angrily: "I won't sell the wild products! If you buy my sword, all the wild products on the ground will be given away for free!"

Everyone laughed, but Huwa whispered to Hanxiong: "If you take a closer look at this sword embryo, it is not that it is not finished on purpose, but it is processed like this and can no longer be chiseled! These pitted surfaces,

If it is not refined and processed with mana, it will be the natural appearance of this material. Then the old man did nothing else, just peeled off other materials."

Wu Fu Stone is a beautiful jade stone that is native to the Wu Fu Hill area. This stone is nurtured deep in the rock formations, but due to water washing, rock collapse and other reasons, it is often found on the surface. This stone is

Light blue and translucent, the best quality ones are completely pure and without impurities, but they are hard to find. (To be continued...)
