"ah--"

A scream interrupted Shang Xia Fang Gang's practice of sword art. It was his aunt Shang Xi!

A flash of light flashed in Shang Xia's eyes. The blue steel sword was held behind his back. His steps suddenly became longer and shorter, and he seemed to be messy. He had already reached the top floor of the commercial building.

At the same time, several figures rushed up, including Shang Ke, Shang Quan and Yan Qi.

Several people came outside the quiet room where the sound came from, glanced at each other, and rushed in at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Shang Xi's angry voice came out again: "Who is this who wastes the natural resources and uses bird's down to cushion the bird's nest?"

Shang Xia was slightly startled and couldn't help but relax. Only then did he notice that the quiet room in front of him was the one he had just used for practice.

However, Shang Quan and Yan Qi looked surprised, what Yan Rong?

Not that kind of thing...

Shang Ke glanced at Shang Xia and shook his head helplessly, as if something he hadn't said before had been exposed, so he opened the door and walked in.

Shang Quan, Shang Xia and Yan Qi followed closely and also walked in.

In the quiet room, Yan Ni'er seemed to be frightened. At this moment, she landed on the beam and screamed high-pitched and threateningly towards Shang Xi, who was holding her newly built nest in both hands.

However, Shang Xi turned a deaf ear to this at this time, and instead looked at the people who entered the quiet room with piercing eyes. Finally, his eyes fell on Shang Xia, and he kept looking at Shang Xia with an expression as if he was getting acquainted with him again.

Shang Xia was stared at by Shang Xi's strange gaze and his hair stood on end. An ugly smile appeared on his face and he asked: "Gu, what's wrong with you?"

Shang Xi said in a faint tone: "You...don't you know the purpose of these swallow velvets? Are you actually using them to make nests for your spiritual pets?"

Shang Ke's figure flashed, and he had already arrived beside Shang Xi. His eyes fell on a ball of fine down under the four bird eggs, and his expression was slightly startled.

Upon seeing this, Shang Quan quickly walked over, looked at the things in the nest, and then looked at Shang Xia who looked confused, and clicked his tongue.

Behind Shang Xia, Yan Qi also stretched his neck and looked into the small nest.

"It's really swallow velvet, tsk tsk, such a big ball, hehe..."

Shang Quan rubbed his hands, as if he couldn't wait to pull the ball of down from the nest, causing Yan Ni'er on the beam to scream in protest.

Shang Ke sighed slightly and said: "Hey, I have expected this for a long time, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. I'm afraid this will make everyone jealous!"

Shang Xi looked at Shang Ke with some confusion and asked, "Uncle Wu, what do you mean?"

Shang Ke sighed: "This kid yelled at Yan Su'e at the foot of Yanling Mountain, and in front of Ji Wenlong, Shang Bing, and Yun Yishu, he summoned a large group of mutated swifts. From that time, Tongyou Academy and Ji, The Yun family is probably already planning how to collect the swallow velvet through his hands."

"What, a colony of mutant swifts? Was it seen by others? Or did he show it off himself?"

Shang Xi's voice became louder and louder, and his tone became higher and higher.

In a hurry, she simply stuffed the small nest she was holding into Shang Quan's arms, stepped out and grabbed Shang Xia's ears, and said: "You little bastard, look what you have done? We, the merchants, could have kept these things to ourselves, all to ourselves! Do you understand?"

Shang Xia grimaced in pain and quickly begged for mercy: "Gu, Gu, I was wrong, you are so generous! Can you tell me first, what is the use of this thing?"

Shang Xi angrily pinched Shang Xia's ears and pushed hard, almost pushing his neck out of place.

"What is the use?"

Shang Xi looked at his nephew and sneered: "Haven't you, kid, been thinking about the brocade cloud box in my aunt's hand for a long time? There's no need to do it now. The ball of swallow velvet in the bird's nest, let alone making a brocade cloud box. Even if you weave a Qiankun bag, it will probably be more than enough."

"What?"

Shang Xia's eyes almost popped out of his head. He looked at the swallow velvet under the four eggs in the nest, and looked at the expressions of the elders around him. He couldn't help but ask, "This thing is used for A baby who makes space items?”

Shang Ke and others did not speak, obviously acquiescing to what Shang Xia said.

Needless to say, Shang Xia also knew how scarce space items were.

Their business is one of the four major families in Tongyou City, and all the space items of the entire family together only amount to three Jinyun boxes.

Shang Xia has coveted the Jinyun Box in the hands of his aunt Shang Xi for a long time.

However, Shang Xi was very concerned about the Jinyun Box, so Shang Xia never had a chance to get it.

The merchant had a total of five sharp weapons. Shang Xi allowed his nephew to take two of them at will and show them off to everyone in Tongyou Academy, but he was absolutely not allowed to touch the Jinyun Box in his hand.

Shang Xia looked at Shang Xi, who was fuming, and then at his fifth grandfather Shang Ke, who was looking up at Yan Ni'er. He didn't know what he was planning. Finally, he set his eyes on his uncle Shang Quan and asked with a smile. Said: "Uncle Quan, how many Jinyun boxes can be made from this ball of swallow velvet? Also, what is the Qiankun bag that aunt mentioned?"

Shang Quan looked at Shang Xi, but saw that she turned away angrily, and could only say with a wry smile: "The quality of the Jinyun box can be high or low, and the extraordinary materials required to make it are more than velvet. Of course, if If there is swallow velvet, other materials are nothing, and swallow velvet is the core material for making Jinyun Box."

Shang Quan did not directly answer Shang Xia's question. Instead, he briefly told him about the importance of velvet to space items, and then said thoughtfully: "Jinyun boxes are classified into high and low quality according to the size of the storage space. It can usually be divided into three categories, namely one foot square, two feet square and three feet square. The storage space of three feet square is probably the limit of the Jinyun Box."

Having said this, Shang Quan paused, glanced at Shang Xi, and said, "The Jinyun box in Sister Xi's hand is three feet square, and it is also the one with the largest storage space among the three Jinyun boxes in our merchant's hands. .”

"How much velvet is needed to make these three Jinyun boxes?" Shang Xia asked again anxiously.

Shang Quan waved his hand, indicating that he should not be anxious, and then continued: "Generally speaking, if the possibility of failure is not calculated, a one-foot-square brocade cloud box costs five yen velvet, and a two-foot-square brocade box costs only five yen. A cloud box requires one tael of swallow velvet, while a three-foot-square Jinyun box requires two taels."

Shang Xia looked at the velvet in the bird's nest and estimated that the ball of velvet was at least three or two weights. According to Uncle Quan, it could be made into at least one three-foot-square and one two-foot-square. Jinyun Box; if they were all made into one-foot-square boxes, at least six could be made.

Hiss——

Shang Xia couldn't help but feel a bit of toothache. He finally knew why his aunt screamed and went crazy just now. Even he felt that he had created a new realm of wasteful things.

However, Shang Xia quickly remembered the Qiankun bag that his aunt mentioned just now, and said quickly: "What about the Qiankun bag?"

Shang Quan said: "You don't have to rush me, I was about to say it. The Qiankun bag and the Jinyun box are different again."

"The Jinyun Box is only lined with bird's nest velvet. Although it is the core material, some other extraordinary materials are still used."

"However, the Qiankun Bag is entirely made of swallow velvet and does not seem to require any other extraordinary materials."

"Of course, some secret techniques must be used in this. As far as I know, when spinning swallow velvet, you need a weaver or a weaver to weave each thread into tiny pieces. The ultimate spiritual patterns, and then in the process of weaving the Qiankun Bag, these spiritual patterns will be connected with each other to form runes, which will eventually open up the space inside the Qiankun Bag."

Seeing Shang Xia's dumbfounded expression, Shang Quan said helplessly: "Don't be surprised. I only know a rough and specific production process. I don't know whether there is a complete inheritance in Tongyou Academy. Even if there is, , those masters in Baiyi Pavilion may not have that ability."

Seeing Shang Xia's slightly disappointed expression, Shang Quan continued: "Although the Qiankun bag is difficult to make, each Qiankun bag has at least five feet of space inside. It is said that the top Qiankun bag can even hold up to one foot. Compared with square items, the Jinyun Box is like a toy."

Shang Xia swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "How much velvet is needed to make a Qiankun bag?"

Shang Quan smiled narrowly and said: "Three liang!"

Three taels, the ball Shang Xia got was just enough!

I just heard from Uncle Quan that making the Qiankun Bag is extremely difficult. If this fails...

While Shang Xia was standing there wondering whether to make a Jinyun Box or a Qiankun Bag, Shang Ke, who was looking up at Yan Nier, suddenly let out a sigh.

"Hey, how long will it take to get three taels of down from those mutated swifts?"

Everyone was startled when they heard this.

Shang Quan asked strangely: "Did you really find such a precious extraordinary item only on a Cangling martial cultivator at the Martial Ultimate Realm?"

Shang Xia also felt strange at this time, but still nodded: "Yes!"

With that said, Shang Xia briefly recounted what happened that day, and also mentioned several other items he had obtained.

Shang Quan shook his head and said: "Even if the group of Cangling martial cultivators were chased by patrols, such valuable items must have been carried by martial arts masters, unless... no one knew the existence of this ball of swallow velvet. !”

Shang Xi said at this time: "Then there is only one possibility. It can be confirmed before that the group of warriors from the Fengyan tribe found and raided a mutated swift's nest, but the swift velvet was not collected by them. It should have been collected by the thunderbird beforehand, and then accidentally found by the Cangling martial artist. He may know what this object is, or he may not, but in the end he chose to conceal the evidence. Own."

Everyone nodded, generally agreeing with Shang Xi's inference.

"Then what should we do now? There is no master on Tongyou Peak who can make the Jinyun Box."

Shang Quan asked casually, but looked at Shang Xia.

Shang Xia scratched the back of his head and said, "Well, it just so happens that I haven't decided yet. How about letting Yan Nier continue to hatch here?"
