"In this Xuzhou city, in addition to the Presbyterian Church, there are several powerful family forces. They control more than half of the industry here, and more than half of the Presbyterian Council is from these families." Zhang Moyang said.
"That's similar to those nobles outside."
Zhang Moyang nodded and said: "Indeed, although they are very powerful, they don't dare to mess around in the fairy city. After all, there are sect forces and casual cultivators in the Presbyterian Council who can check and balance them. The current city lord, Daojun Qinghe, The Yuanshan Sect from the East China Sea is the largest cultivator sect in the world, with tens of thousands of disciples and hundreds of thousands of mortals who rely on them to survive. Although the power of the Immortal City is powerful, it will not cause any conflict with this sect. "
Song Xin didn't expect that there were so many sects, so he secretly remembered these forces.
Zhang Moyang said: "This time we are here to purchase some products for our sect. Come and take a look with us to open your eyes."
"Can gold and silver be used in transactions here?"
"Most of the gold and silver in the world are used here as materials for alchemy and weapon refining, but they can also be exchanged for the trading currency in the city. It is a kind of jade coin that is jointly engraved and issued by the city of practitioners, just like this. Zhang Moyang said and took out A small round piece of jade with small seal characters engraved on it.
Song Xin took it and took a look. This jade coin was very similar to the five-baht coin used in the world. It also looked like a round sky and a square place.
He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out a few coins from the storage ring, "So these are jade coins!"
When he killed Lu Yuncheng, he got a lot of these jade coins. At the time, he didn't know what they were. Only when he got here did he realize that they were the universal currency of the fairy city.
"So Brother Song, you already have one?" Zhang Xiuyang was a little surprised.
"I once said that Lu Yuncheng was killed by me. These are what he had."
"Well, according to what you said, he is also a practitioner, which is not surprising." Zhang Moyang nodded.
Zhang Xiuyang said: "By the way, if you want to exchange jade coins, there are two places. One is to go to a bank, but the exchange is small, and the other is to go to a specialized shop that sells refining supplies, where you can bargain with the shopkeeper. , and sometimes you can change more.”
"It just so happens that I also want to ask about some materials, so let's go to the store to exchange them." Song Xin just wanted to repair the sword that Wei Tong gave him as soon as possible. This sword was of great significance to him. Since it was damaged, he has been letting him use it. He was grudged.
"Okay, then let's go to the second largest "Jinyu Pavilion" in the city. The prices there are relatively fair and there are many goods. The two of us also have something to buy." Zhang Xiuyang suggested.
"Okay, let's go there."
Several people got on the big car in the middle of the avenue. The car was very long and there were many people sitting on it. Song Xin looked around. Everything he saw was new now, and the people around him didn't mind. They seemed to be used to it. Some of them closed their eyes and meditated, while others just talked to their friends.
"I wonder what life will be like for mortals here."
"It's no different from practitioners. Practitioners can't kill them indiscriminately. Otherwise, you know the punishment from heaven." Zhang Xiuyang said with a smile.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Sometimes mortals live better here than outside." A man next to him who looked like a sorcerer said.
"Not only will they not be killed here, but as long as they are willing to endure hardships, they can live a good life. They don't have to do heavy corvee work, which is much better than outside." The alchemist added.
"I see, Mr. Xie has cleared up the confusion." Song Xin said with a smile.
"It's easy to talk about. It's your first time here, fellow Taoist, so you have to take a good stroll. I'll say goodbye." After saying that, the man turned around and left.
"He is right. This world only suppresses us cultivators. Mortals are safer here than us." Zhang Moyang said.
Two-quarters of an hour later, Song Xin and the others got off the car and saw a huge plaque "Golden Jade Pavilion" at the door. There were people who looked like storekeepers greeting people at the door, and Song Xin found that none of them had any cultivation level.
"Guests, please come in. May I have any orders?" A young shopkeeper greeted the three of them very respectfully.
"We need to buy some materials, and this friend wants to exchange gold and silver for some jade coins."
"Well, please give me the list of materials below. In addition, the exchange price of jade coins is on this wall. The guest officer can just take the gold and silver to be weighed and exchanged after selecting it."
Song Xin and the others turned and looked along the wall pointed by the store. On it were the exchange prices of the bank and the exchange prices of Jinyu Pavilion. The exchange prices here were about 10% higher than those at the bank.
"Today's price is relatively good. In the past, it was half a percent or less." The store owner said enthusiastically.
"Okay, that's all. Here is the list of materials I need." Zhang Moyang said, handing the man a piece of paper.
Song Xin looked at the price list. One tael of copper could be exchanged for fifteen jade coins, silver could be exchanged for fifty coins, and gold could be exchanged for one hundred coins. The prices in the bank are 10% to 20% less than here.
"Gold has been in short supply recently, so the price is relatively high." The store owner looked at Song Xin and said.
"Okay, then I'll exchange these for jade coins." Song Xin took out the silver and copper ingots he got from digging out the Chaisang Haunted Mansion last time. As for those Roman gold coins, he kept dozens of them as souvenirs, and was ready to exchange the rest.
The shopkeeper saw the gold coins, curiously picked one up and said, "This is a gold coin from Great Qin."
Song Xin asked in surprise: "You recognize it too?"
"Well, several magicians from Great Qin came here many years ago, and they took out these gold coins to do some shopping..."
Zhang Moyang asked curiously: "You mean magician? What is it?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know. Anyway, I heard from people in the city that there seem to be people who can use magic there, but we can't tell the names and levels of cultivation."
Then he led Song Xin to the exchange office, and the final weighing was 132 taels of copper, 140 taels of silver, and 111 taels of gold, a total of 22,800 jade coins.
The store owner directly gave Song Xin a black wooden sign. Song Xin didn't know why. The shopkeeper saw that it was Song Xin's first time here, so he said: "This is a temporary certificate from the bank. Take this to the bank and give it to the person there to take it out. If you want to take it yourself, Or you can deposit it with your own jade token."
"Thank you. I'm thinking of looking for some weapons-refining materials. I wonder if I can help?" Song Xin took out the materials for the Fuxi Sword that he wanted to collect and handed them over.
"Well, meteorites and volcanic lava ash are not difficult to find, but black ice and thunder stones are more valuable."
"Sir, do you want to make weapons?" An old man came over while he was talking. When the shopkeeper saw it, he immediately saluted respectfully. "This is our refining shopkeeper here. He is responsible for all the refining matters. I will take my leave now."
Song Xin was startled, "Is it possible to refine weapons here?"
"That's natural. If you provide forging cubes and materials yourself, then the refining cost will be 30% of the total cost of materials. If you need to buy materials or have forging cubes, then the refining price will be 20% of the materials. If you don't have any, the refining cost will be 20%. The price of the appliance is 50% of the total cost of all materials. Our store has been in business here for more than 100 years, and the prices are fair and there is absolutely no fraud.”
"Song Xin, do you want to refine a spiritual weapon?" Zhang Xiuyang said.
"Yes, I originally wanted to repair my sword, but if it can be refined into a spiritual weapon here, that would be the best."
"This Jinyu Pavilion can also help refine weapons, and the craftsmanship is not bad." Zhang Moyang said.
When Song Xin heard this, he immediately asked, "How many jade coins do I need for these four materials?"
The old man said: "Well, there are 530 pieces of meteorite and 10 pieces of volcanic lava ash, but black ice and thunder stone are relatively rare, 1500 and 5200 respectively. The price of these materials On top of the total, add 50% of the refining fee, which is the final price."
Song Xin was dumbfounded as soon as he calculated, half of his jade coins were instantly lost.
"Brother, do you have a forging recipe?" the old man asked.
Song Xin quickly said: "I have a forging recipe."
"Please follow me to the inner room." The old man led several people into a closed room. "Well, can Forging Fang let me have a look?"
Song Xin handed the forging formula copied on the paper to the old man.
"This forging is quite rare. Weapons made of ordinary iron, combined with these materials, can be used to create powerful spiritual weapons." The old man was amazed after reading it, and he quickly made calculations in his mind.
The old man asked tentatively: "I wonder if I can sell this forging recipe to our shop?"
"My brother is an honest man. If I give this forging recipe to you and you use it to make a lot of money, why not just give a little to my brother? That's not okay." Zhang Xiuyang helped Song Xin negotiate the price.
"How much can your store sell?" Song Xin asked the old man.
The old man stretched out his fingers and made two gestures. Song Xin couldn't understand and looked confused. The old man seemed to realize that Song Xin didn't understand the rules of these gestures, so he made another two, and then a five.
"This is... twenty-five thousand? It's too little," Song Xin said. Even if he didn't understand the market, he knew that this was too little.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand." The old man sighed and whispered a number. "If little brother accepts this price, then the cost of this weapon refining will be free of charge."
Song Xin didn't know what the price was, so he looked at Zhang Moyang and said, "Old man, if you can pay this price, you won't be stingy and add a little more. He made a gesture (how about three hundred and fifty thousand?)"
"Two hundred and seventy thousand."
"Since the old gentleman is sincere, I will lower the price to 325,000. If it doesn't work, we will leave." Zhang Moyang said.
"Three hundred thousand."
"Deal." Zhang Moyang nodded to Song Xin.
The old man nodded without any expression. He was obviously used to this kind of negotiation process.
"By the way, I still have a damaged spiritual weapon. I wonder if it can be repaired. The price can be calculated together." Song Xin thought of Xin Youmi's thunder and lightning bronze sword.
"Please let me take a look."
After taking out the bronze sword, Song Xin also took out Lu Yuncheng's spiritual weapon short sword, preparing to sell it.
The old man took the bronze sword and looked at it for a while, "This sword is seriously damaged. If you want to repair it, it will not only consume materials, but also at least two demon pills. These materials may have exceeded the value of the spiritual weapon itself."
"As for this short sword..." the old man looked at it for a while and said, "Spiritual weapons of this quality are very common and can be worth five hundred jade coins, which is slightly more expensive than Fan Tie's weapons."
"So few..." Song Xin didn't expect that the spiritual weapon he desperately grabbed would be sold at a street stall.
"However, if there is a demon pill, I can fuse this dagger with the bronze sword, and perhaps repair the bronze sword."
Song Xin was overjoyed, "If this can happen, that would be great!"
"Please bring out the weapons and demon pills, little brother, and I will send them to be forged. In addition, the forging party will take them away. The black wooden plaques will be delivered immediately. Please wait in the side hall."
The old man led several people to the side hall, and Song Xin took out the sword Wei Tong gave him and handed it over.
The old man pulled out a sword, glanced at it, frowned and said:
"Well, it is forged from mountain iron. It is considered a good weapon in the outside world, but it is just an ordinary weapon here. This sword is seriously damaged and is not worth repairing. I wonder how did this sword get damaged, little brother? "
"While fighting a mantid beast, I was burned by its venom."
Song Xin took out two grape-sized balls from his arms, one brown and one green, which were the demon elixirs of the two old mantises he had killed one after another.
The old man took the demon pill, looked at the light, and said: "Both these two demon pills belong to wood, and the brown color is not satisfactory. It seems that they are just young demons that have not yet fully transformed. This green demon pill is of good quality. .”
Song Xin didn't know that demon pills also had five elements attributes. Even demon pills of the same color had different five element attributes, which an expert could identify at a glance.
The old man continued: "But if both of them are used to repair the bronze sword, this Fuxi sword will not be enough. Our store does have demon pills of good quality, but the price is a little expensive..."
At this time, Zhang Moyang stepped forward, took out a green demon pill and handed it over and said, "Shopkeeper, what do you think of this one?"
A trace of disappointment flashed across the old man's face. He took a look, and his slightly drooped eyelids suddenly tightened, "This is the Five Qi Pill?!" He didn't seem to believe it yet, and looked at the light for a long time before finally confirming that this was The five-qi demon elixir that balances the five elements is rare nowadays, as are the three-qi and four-qi demon elixirs, let alone the five-qi demon elixir.
Zhang Moyang said: "Just help my friend melt this demon pill into the sword."
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he said, "This fairy, are you sure you want to melt this Five Qi Pill?"
Song Xin wanted to refuse, but Zhang Moyang held his shoulders and signaled him not to refuse. Then he smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "OK."
After the old man confirmed that it was correct, he put away the long sword, the bronze sword, Lu Yuncheng's short sword and the demon pill, and said: "Well, if the demon pill is smelted into it, it will not only repair it but also make the sword sharper. However, little brother This is my first time here, and the repair will be a gift from our store.”
Zhang Xiuyang quietly sent a message to Song Xin: "This demon pill of his will cost you at least 50,000 jade coins. This old man just wants to make a business deal and make up for the loss doubled."
