Xiao Chen chatted with Big Beard for a few words, bought two gadgets, and left with Wang Pingbei.
"Brother Chen, doesn't he have anything good here?"
Wang Pingbei asked.
"Yes, but the price is high, so there is no need to buy it."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"The most important thing is that I don't want him to think that I have good eyesight, otherwise he will definitely doubt the earth spirit."
"Oh, that's it."
Wang Pingbei suddenly realized that this guy is really evil.
Just pretending not to know something, he didn't expect it at all.
"Let's have a drink with him tonight and see if we can come up with something."
Xiao Chen said and continued to walk forward.
"What do you think he knows?"
Wang Pingbei quickly followed.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Think about it, a businessman like him is the most well-informed... Let's not talk about anything else, where do all his things come from? They can't all be taken back, and he also got them himself!"
"Then what?"
Wang Pingbei didn't understand what Xiao Chen meant.
"For a person like him, he can't afford to leave early without benefit. Since he came to Xuanyuan Town, he must have some ideas."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Others may try their luck because of an animal skin, but he won't... at least, he won't come before Zhao Cangqiong and others arrive."
"That's right, it seems like we haven't found anything too powerful yet."
Wang Pingbei looked around and said.
"Yes, but you can't feel it."
Xiao Chen said, squeezing his lips.
"That old man over there is not weak..."
"Huh? Why do I feel like he is an ordinary person?"
Wang Pingbei said in surprise.
"Haha, if I can make you feel unusual, I wouldn't be considered a strong person."
Xiao Chen smiled and looked away.
The two of them walked around the street for a while, but didn't find anything good.
Afterwards, the two of them went to the shops along the street. The prices here were more expensive than outside, and... they were more daring to brag about them.
"My guest, to tell you the truth, this spear was salvaged from the Imperial Sea..."
The rich shopkeeper pointed at a spear and said to Xiao Chen.
"It is said that this spear has been sleeping in the Imperial Sea for at least hundreds of years... When the spear rose into the sky and saw the sky again, strange phenomena occurred in the heaven and earth."
"Oh? Really? What kind of vision?"
Xiao Chen seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"That's it... there was a colorful glare emanating from the spear. The strong men in Xuanyuan Town at that time all went to the Imperial Sea and started fighting for it."
The shopkeeper said nonsense.
"For this spear, I really killed a river of blood, almost dyeing the Imperial Sea red."
"Haha, you shouldn't be a shopkeeper, you should write novels."
Xiao Chen looked at the shopkeeper and smiled.
"cough……"
The shopkeeper coughed dryly.
"You are joking, but what I said is true."
"Well, then tell me, why is this spear that so many people are fighting for, and they all shed their blood for it, why is it here now?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Forehead……"
The shopkeeper opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"What is the origin of this sword?"
Xiao Chen pointed to a sword again and asked.
"This sword is also unusual. It comes from the Xuanyuan world..."
The shopkeeper took a look and started telling lies.
"Stop...if you keep talking nonsense, I will go to another place to have a look."
Xiao Chen interrupted the shopkeeper.
"Well, it was made by blacksmith Zhang in the back street."
The shopkeeper smiled sarcastically.
"It is said that Blacksmith Zhang used to be a weapon refiner, but something happened to him later and he lived in seclusion in Xuanyuan Town."
"oh?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, weapon refiner?
"Brother Chen, I have also heard that in Xuanyuan Town, in addition to various forces, there are also hermit masters here."
Wang Pingbei whispered.
"I don't know if they chose a place to live in seclusion or for Xuanyuan World."
"Blacksmith Zhang in the backstreet..."
Xiao Chen remembered it, picked up the sword, flicked it lightly, and made a clanking sound.
This sword can barely be regarded as a sword.
However, a blacksmith who can forge such a sword is definitely not an ordinary blacksmith.
"Blacksmith Zhang forges one sword like this every year... You can't buy it anywhere else except me. Even if you go to him, he won't sell it."
The shopkeeper said hurriedly.
"I have always cooperated with Blacksmith Zhang here. His swords are all given to me for sale."
"To tell you the truth, I am a swordsman, but... this sword is not something I can see."
Xiao Chen said and put the sword back.
"Is there a better sword? If so, take it out and if it satisfies me, the price is not a problem."
"Young hero, you also know that our Xuanyuan Town is not big, so this is a sword."
The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.
"If you don't like this, then that's all. At least there is no sword better than this in Xuanyuan Town... When it comes to making swords, no one in Xuanyuan Town can surpass Blacksmith Zhang."
"Is there a broken sword in Xuanyuan Town?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked.
"The former magic weapon is broken."
"Broken sword? Divine weapon?"
The shopkeeper was startled and looked Xiao Chen up and down.
"Before, someone also looked for the broken sword in Xuanyuan Town... and asked me to keep an eye on it and notify him in time if there is one."
"Are you talking about Gongsun Zhen from Shanhai Tower?"
Xiao Chen's heart moved.
"You know?"
The shopkeeper was even more surprised.
"Well, I have some friendship with Gongsun Zhen, and he told me this."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"He left the sound transmission stone? Otherwise, how would you inform him?"
"That's not true. He asked me to find someone...that person is from Shanhai Tower."
The shopkeeper replied.
"But after all this time, I have never seen or even heard of such a broken sword."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Have you asked about it?"
"Of course, this is something a big shot has told me, and I will definitely take it seriously."
The shopkeeper nodded.
"I can guarantee that there is no such broken sword in Xuanyuan Town."
"No one sells it at the stalls outside?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"No."
The shopkeeper shook his head.
"I have been operating here for more than ten years. If there is, I will definitely get the news."
"Fine."
When Xiao Chen saw this, he stopped asking any more questions and was about to leave.
"What is your relationship with Elder Gongsun?"
The shopkeeper asked curiously.
"What's the relationship? Haha, I beat him."
Xiao Chen smiled, turned and left, leaving the shopkeeper stunned.
"It seems that Gongsun Zhen also made some arrangements after getting the Broken Sword."
After coming out, Wang Pingbei whispered.
"Since the shopkeeper said there is none, then there is a high probability that there is none... What should I do?"
"walk around……"
Xiao Chen said, took out the map given by the waiter and found the location of 'Blacksmith Zhang on Back Street'.
"After shopping, let's go meet this blacksmith Zhang."
"The weapon refiner...Brother Chen, do you think he will be an expert hermit?"
Wang Pingbei frowned.
"I don't know, but someone who can forge a sword must be unusual. Let's go and see it."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Don't be too utilitarian, be more casual, and you may get unexpected gains."
"OK."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
Xiao Chen wandered around casually. Although he didn't find the Broken Sword, he was not in a hurry.
After all, if he really found the Broken Sword as soon as he arrived, then he should be wondering in his heart whether there might be some conspiracy here.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence!
Even God’s biological son should not be in this script!
Regarding the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan and the Xuanyuan Sword, he did not expect to find it in two or three days.
Now that he has an animal skin, a sword soul and two broken swords, it can be said that he is far superior to others.
If even he can't get the inheritance from Emperor Xuanyuan, then there will be no chance for others.
In about half an hour, Xiao Chen almost walked around the entire Xuanyuan Town and came to the back streets.
"Ahead is Blacksmith Zhang's blacksmith shop. Let's go and have a look."
Xiao Chen put away the map and headed towards Wang Ping North Road.
"good."
Wang Pingbei nodded and looked around.
"Don't mention it, living here in seclusion is really a good choice... At that time, I was still thinking that I would never be able to return to Qingyun Tower. After you let me leave, I would find such a secluded place and not care about the world.
"
"Haha, what now?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Of course I'm following you now, Brother Chen."
Wang Pingbei said hurriedly.
"It's more enjoyable to hang out with Brother Chen than to be a genius in Qingyun Tower."
"Haha, I have a good understanding."
Xiao Chen said, pointing to a courtyard.
"It should be right here."
"Really? It doesn't say blacksmith shop."
Wang Pingbei was confused and stepped forward, only to see that the courtyard door was also closed.
"Didn't you hear what the shopkeeper said? He sells all the swords made by Blacksmith Zhang, so Blacksmith Zhang is not open to the public."
Xiao Chen came to the door.
"This is not a blacksmith shop. Listen... there is a faint sound of clanging. Blacksmith Zhang should be forging iron at the moment."
"Is there any? Why didn't I hear it?"
Wang Pingbei pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but still found nothing.
"Knock on the door."
Xiao Chen did not release his spiritual consciousness rashly. When he arrived at other people's territory, he had to follow their rules.
"good."
Wang Pingbei nodded and knocked hard on the courtyard door.
Bang bang bang...
"It seems familiar."
Xiao Chen looked at the courtyard and listened to the faint sound, with a bit of emotion flashing in his eyes.
When he went to find Linghu Nian for the Xuanyuan Sword, he also went to a courtyard like this in the suburbs.
At that time, Linghu Nian lived in seclusion on the outskirts of Longhai, living a life without fighting against the world. He worked on blacksmithing on weekdays, which was very leisurely.
In a blink of an eye, so much time has passed.
Linghu Nian has already established the foundation, but he...has not yet established the foundation.
"who?"
Just as Xiao Chen was remembering, a man's voice came from inside.
"Is this Blacksmith Zhang's house? Let's visit Blacksmith Zhang."
Wang Pingbei said hurriedly.
Wow.
The courtyard door opened, revealing a dark face.
This is a burly man, about forty or fifty years old, with a leopard-like head and ringed eyes, and a beard that stands on end... just like Zhang Fei.
He was still shirtless, and his tendons were dark and shiny, covered in sweat.
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei looked at him. Is he Zhang Tiejiang?
This look, this dress... is pretty much the same as the image in their minds.
