The night in the military camp was tense, and the soldiers patrolling everywhere did not dare to slack off at night. They all lit torches and patrolled back and forth around the camp.
From time to time, fast horses would come galloping, bringing the latest battle status from the front. The camp in charge of frontline command was brightly lit, and no one dared to take a break.
The military camp where Lu Zijin was located was located behind the Seven Passes. It played a commanding role. Its importance was self-evident, so it was reasonable to have strict patrols.
It had just fallen into the night and the stars were still sparse. Xu Huaigu took advantage of the darkness to walk out of the camp where Lu Zijin was staying and headed towards Wei Caiyi's house.
The living conditions in the military camp are not good, and this room is very simple. It can only be said to have the shape of a room, which is incomparable with the housing in the city.
Xu Huaigu walked to the door, knocked on the door and said: "Junior Xu Huaigu, I came here to visit my senior. I apologize for troubling you." Wei Caiyi's laughter came from inside, and she said: "Please come in." Xu Huaigu said softly. Opening the door, I saw Wei Caiyi sitting at a small square table in the center of the room. There was a candle on the square table, emitting a flickering light.
Seeing Xu Huaigu come in, she was still smiling and said, "Please sit over here." The light from the candle was very weak, and Xu Huaigu could only see the outline of Wei Caiyi.
Xu Huaigu followed her words, sat down opposite Wei Caiyi, and said hello to her again. Wei Caiyi smiled and said: "You kid, you are very polite. In fact, you don't need to be like this in front of me. I am very easy-going." Xu Huaigu also smiled and said: "I felt it when I met senior during the day. Senior He really has no pretensions at all and is very kind.”
"Really?" Wei Caiyi looked very happy and said again,
"With just one candle, the room seems a bit dark, right?" Xu Huaigu didn't understand what he meant, and nodded with some confusion. She put her right hand into her left sleeve and rummaged through her robe.
"Yes." Wei Caiyi rummaged for a moment, then smiled and took out a bead from his sleeve. As soon as the bead was taken out from the cuff, it emitted a strong light. In an instant, the whole room was filled with soft white light, illuminating everything in the room as brightly as day.
And this was only emitted by the beads in her hand that could only be held in a fist, which surprised Xu Huaigu.
Xu Huaigu felt that this bead did not have any spiritual energy. It was not used for illumination by gathering spiritual energy in advance like a talisman. There was nothing surprising about it. However, this bead was born to emit light. This was really A rare thing.
"Have you never seen this before?" Seeing Wei Caiyi ask, Xu Huaigu shook his head and said with a smile, "Never seen it before."
"This is a dragon ball in the sea. It was born in the place where the dragon energy is strong at the bottom of the sea. It takes a thousand years to transform and nourish, and then it takes another thousand years to grow in a small circle. It is extremely rare. The one in my hand is at least six years old. It's seven thousand years old." Xu Huaigu couldn't help but admired in his heart, six or seven thousand years ago, we didn't know what the world was like, and even the oldest history books did not record that distant past.
The appearance of this bead also reminded Xu Huaigu that the man sitting opposite him was the lord of Luoyun City, one of the richest monks in the world.
Wei Caiyi casually put the bead on the table. The bead was round and rolled around on the table several times. Xu Huaigu followed the bead with his eyes, fearing that it would accidentally roll off the table and ruin the thousands of years of creation.
With beads lighting, candles are no longer needed. Wei Caiyi blew out the candles again and said with a smile: "I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to watch the sparks of candles at night. It's the best way to spend time. If you hadn't come in to see me just now, I would have watched all night. I won't take out the beads until you come." Xu Huaigu didn't know how to answer, so he could only say awkwardly, "Thank you, senior." Wei Caiyi smiled and said, "I He said, why are you so stupid? You can't chat at all. You don't look like such a rigid person, or are you too reserved in front of me? They say that you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. In my opinion, you There is something you want to ask me for, right?" Xu Huaigu replied: "Senior is aware that this junior does have something he wants to ask for advice from."
"Please tell me." Seeing Wei Caiyi's approach, Xu Huaigu stopped beating around the bush and said, "A few days ago, when I was going into battle to kill demons, a snake demon from the ninth realm accidentally knocked my robe to pieces. Yes. I have long heard that Luoyun City under Senior is the largest trading place for monks in the Central Territory, so I want to buy a robe from Senior. I wonder what Senior wants?"
"It turns out it's because of this." Wei Caiyi smiled and said,
"Since you are here to discuss business with me, you are a guest, so there is no need to be formal."
"You pay and I deliver the goods. Both parties in the transaction have equal status. Tell me your requirements, otherwise the robe in my hand will be hundreds if not one thousand. If I give it to you one by one, If you choose, you won’t be able to finish it until tomorrow morning.”
"I want one of Immortal Weapon rank."
"Hey, your horizons are not low." Wei Caiyi smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.
"The price of the magic robes of Immortal Weapon Rank is not low. It seems that it will be open again tonight."
"Senior, please tell me the price." Wei Caiyi stretched out five fingers, grabbed them in the air, and said, "This is the number." Xu Huaigu was a little surprised and said, "Five colored beads?" Wei Caiyi rolled his eyes at him. , smiled and said: "What a beautiful idea. Fifty pieces, not one less." Xu Huaigu's face suddenly turned sallow, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
Fifty colorful beads? This is too much! According to Xu Huaigu's current understanding, the entire population of Qingfeng Valley, a second-rate sect in East Fuyao Continent, only has about a hundred colored beads per year. This Immortal Weapon robe can only open fifty, which is equivalent to a large sect. It's been running for half a year, how can he get it?
Seeing the ugly expression on Xu Huaigu's face, Wei Caiyi smiled proudly and said, "You can't blame me for that. Immortal weapon robes are hard to come by, and the market price is just this much. You know, although the various robes in my hand can fill several rooms. , but there are only a dozen or so pieces of Immortal Weapon grade, so the price is not expensive."
"Looking at you like this, you don't seem to be able to afford so much money. Why don't you tell me how much money you have?" Xu Huaigu said with a shy face, "Twenty colored beads, that's all I have."
"Then I still suggest that you buy a high-quality robe. About seven or eight colored beads will do. The price depends on the quality. How about it?" Xu Huaigu lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
When he didn't want to buy anything, he felt that money was of no use at all. But now, the Immortal Weapon robe that he had been thinking about was right in front of him, but he didn't have enough money to buy it. It really made him a little embarrassed. A penny can stump a hero!
If you buy another high-grade robe, it will probably only be the same as the previous one. If you encounter a great demon of the Nine Realms, you may not be able to do it. You want to buy immortal weapons, but you are short of money... He is in Xu Huai Valley When hesitating, Wei Caiyi said again: "If you don't have enough money and don't want to make do with it, you might as well bring some valuable items in exchange with me." All the belongings were distributed to the others during that time of suspended animation, and now he seems to have nothing of value on him.
Wei Caiyi pointed to the sword on his waist and said with a smile: "This sword will do." Xu Huaigu pursed his lips, took off the sword, put it on the table, and said: "This junior is a sword cultivator. The sword is the foundation. Now if you sell the sword for the robe, wouldn't you be giving up the good and chasing the weak? Just when the senior mentioned this sword, I wanted to ask the senior to check it out for me. How much is this sword worth?" Wei Caiyi nodded in agreement.
She picked up the Phoenix Feather Sword, held the sheath with one hand, and pushed the sword out of the sheath with her thumb. The sword edge had only been pushed out a little, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
As if he couldn't wait, Wei Caiyi held the sword in his right hand, pulled the entire sword out of its sheath, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then praised loudly: "Good sword, good sword!" Seeing her reaction, Xu Huaigu was filled with joy.
Even monks like Wei Caiyi, who have seen countless rare treasures, are full of praise, so this Phoenix Feather Sword must be a good sword.
Wei Caiyi looked at the Feng Yu Sword carefully for a long time, then put it back into its sheath with some reluctance, returned it to Xu Huaigu, and praised: "I really like this sword, why don't I raise the price myself. If you are willing to give this sword Give me the sword, and I can exchange it for you with an Immortal Weapon robe and an ancient sword of Immortal Weapon rank. How about it?" Xu Huaigu looked embarrassed, picked up the Phoenix Feather Sword, put it back on his waist, and shook it slightly. shook his head.
"Don't worry, the ancient sword I exchanged for you is definitely not lower than this sword. On the contrary, you can get an Immortal Weapon Robe for free. What's the trouble? Why, are you still worried? How about I give it to you now? Take it out and you can make plans after reading it, okay?" After that, she actually put her right hand into her left sleeve and started rummaging through the robe.
Xu Huaigu hurriedly stopped her and said: "Thank you for your favor, senior, but I can't sell this sword." Wei Caiyi glanced at him, frowned and said: "Why can't you sell it? It's just that the price is not high enough. Two immortal weapons cannot be sold. In your eyes, I still have three or four pieces here, that’s a lot!” Xu Huaigu was a little annoyed when he saw her insistence, so he said in a more serious tone: “Senior, since he is a businessman, don’t you know that you are willing to be with me? You It's a good deal if I'm willing to do it. Forgive me for saying this, even if the senior bids ten immortal weapons, I won't sell this sword!" Wei Caiyi calmed down and took another look at the sword. Sword, he said to Xu Huaigu with some grievance: "Eleven pieces will do." Xu Huaigu couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "What's so good about my broken sword, senior cares so much?" Wei Caiyi sighed and said: " If you really don’t want to sell it, forget it, you can only say that I have no connection with this treasure.”
"I, Wei Caiyi, have been doing business since I was a child. I entered Taoism through business. I founded Luoyun City and collected rare treasures from all over the world. It has been two hundred years. I can tell at a glance whether something is good or not. You are lucky, I tell you the truth. Let me tell you, regardless of this swordsman’s talent and military rank, it is actually just a sword embryo. If a suitable craftsman can be found to cast it, it will be a treasure of the heavenly spirit.” Xu Huaigu smiled and said: “It turns out that senior is interested in it. The qualifications of this sword. To be honest, the junior also knows about this, and also wants to cast this sword into a treasure of the heavenly spirit when he goes to the Central Region in the future. Therefore, it is understandable that the junior does not sell it. I also ask the senior for your understanding. .”
"It turns out you knew it a long time ago." Wei Caiyi shook his head helplessly and sighed,
"Alas, the deal can't be done." Xu Huaigu seemed to have thought of something sad and said, "Actually, even if this sword is useless, I won't sell it."
"Why?"
"Because..." Xu Huaigu looked at the sword on his waist, and unconsciously there was a sudden movement in his heart, and he murmured,
"This is my old friend's sword."
