Qian Chao came out of the library and passed by the small market inside the door.

Speaking of this small market, he didn't go shopping in detail. He just took a look at it when passing by. He heard the details of what was in it from the brothers who were making weapons together. Today, he passed by and got sick. I want to take a closer look at the idea of ​​refining the Dan Furnace Lack of Spirit Earthworm Mud for Yanxuan. That one is really hard to find, but there are several alternative materials. See if you can find it here.

Thinking of this, he fell from the sky.

The small market in Jiuxuan is smaller than that in Helou. It is located in a fairly wide small valley in Jiuxuan. There is a road in the middle, and various items are sold on both sides, even on the hillsides on both sides. , but it was also extremely lively.

Most of the items sold here are various refining materials, such as various ores, various ingots, various monster leathers, tendons, etc. There are also some refined spiritual weapons for sale, most of which are spirit swords. Most of them have three talismans and four talismans. Five-talisman spiritual swords can also be seen. You can see armors for sale in this small market, but very few, and in Qian Chao's opinion, the armors are poorly made. There are only about twenty armor pieces on a breastplate. Qian Chao shook his head secretly when he saw it. .

He carefully picked up the materials and looked at them one by one, but he still couldn't find what he wanted.

"Excuse me, senior brother, do you have Suxue ointment or pine mushrooms?" Everywhere he went, Qian Chao asked the stall owners.

"No, these two things are not used much. I don't have them here. You can go look for them later."

I asked several houses in succession, but they all said they didn't have any. Some were very close, and when they heard what Qian Chao wanted, they all shook their heads at him.

"This little junior brother has such a low level of cultivation. What can he do if he needs snow cream or pine mushrooms?"

"Don't say that. Didn't you see that the little junior brother is wearing the brand of the inner hall? The skill of refining weapons should be better than that of you and me."

"Oh, I didn't pay attention to that. Well, I don't believe how good his weapon refining skills are. Is it so easy to get into the Chengqi Hall now?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not like you haven't heard about Dusha."

"Oh? Could it be that...he is that Junior Brother Qian?"

"Looking at his age and cultivation level, he shouldn't be wrong."

Qian Chao ignored other people's comments and continued to look for his things.

"I don't have Suxue Cream. I haven't seen that thing for a long time. But, hello, Junior Brother Liang, did Senior Brother Zhang get a piece of pine mushroom last time?"

A Qi Refining monk selling things next to him thought for a while and said, "It seems so, but that happened several months ago. I don't know if it's still there. Hey, isn't that Senior Brother Zhang? If Junior Brother wants to ask, ask Just ask Senior Brother Zhang."

After hearing this, Qian Chao turned around and hesitated.

Not far away, a group of people were chatting and joking in a pavilion. Qian Chao didn't recognize who was Senior Brother Zhang, but two of the people who followed Du Sha fell among them. I heard Senior Brother Cheng Qian said that Du Sha was a tree. After the Hunxi dispersed, all his men abandoned him and found other backers. Although Qian Chao did not know the names of the two people who had followed Du Sha before, but since they were there, this Senior Brother Zhang was probably nothing. Fuel efficient lamp.

However, since he could find a material like pine mushroom, Qian Chao didn't want to give up easily. If he didn't have Suxue paste, he could just use pine mushroom. The resulting alchemy furnace would be much stronger than just using patterned iron.

Thinking of this, although he still didn't want to deal with that Senior Brother Zhang, Qian Chao still asked who was Senior Brother Zhang, and then walked over.

The pavilion was not small, with stone tables and benches inside, and a circle of benches made of long painted wooden boards on the outside. It was full of people, and senior brother Zhang sat at the main seat of the stone table.

This senior brother is in his twenties. If he stands up, he is tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He has a face that can be considered handsome, but his eyes are full of unruly eyes. The senior brother Zhang's name is Zhang Xun. He is similar to Du Sha, but he is much better than Du Sha. Not only is his cultivation higher than Du Sha's, he also has more than a dozen people following him every day. If he goes out, he will be with him, which can be regarded as the Nine Mysteries. A notorious figure among them, Dusha was polite to Zhang Xun even before he lost power.

Seeing Qian Chao approaching, a boy who used to follow Du Sha muttered a few words in Zhang Xie's ear and moved away. Zhang Xie stopped joking with everyone and just frowned at Qian Chao who walked in.

"Senior Brother Zhang" Qian Chao approached and saluted Zhang Xie.

"Well, you are Junior Brother Qian, right?" Zhang Xie stared at Qian Chao and couldn't help looking up and down.

"Exactly" Qian Chao said.

"Junior Brother Qian, you and I are strangers. Why did you come to me?"

"I just heard from the two senior brothers selling things over there that Senior Brother Zhang has a piece of pine mushroom here. I wanted to ask Senior Brother Zhang if he is willing to take action."

"Hmph, those two troublesome guys! Well...it's not that I can't take action, but Junior Brother Qian, I can't take action easily with this piece of pine mushroom, and I don't lack spiritual stones."

"What does Senior Brother Zhang want?"

Zhang Xie didn't say anything. He took out a small round black object the size of a small teapot from his storage bag and placed it on the stone table.

"You take a look first, and we'll talk later."

"That……"

Qian Chao signaled to Zhang Xie that he would hold it in his hand and look at it, and Zhang Xie nodded.

Although Qian Chao had never handled this kind of material before, the material matched the description in the book, and the quality seemed to be quite good.

"Senior Brother Zhang, what do you want to exchange for this piece of pine mushroom?"

"Since Junior Brother Qian asked, I will tell you that I will trade him for a spiritual sword."

Although this kind of unpopular weapon refining material is rarely seen, the price is not too low when it appears. Moreover, Qian Chao thinks the quality is good. According to Qian Chao's estimate, the price should be between 20 and 30. Among the quick spirit stones, if Zhang Xie wants to exchange for the spirit sword at this price, he will suffer a loss if he gets the five-talisman one, and he will suffer a little loss for the six-talisman one, but it doesn't matter.

Thinking of this, Qian Chao took out a six-talisman spirit sword that he had refined from his storage bag. After thinking about it, he took out the chisel seal given by senior brother Xu Bo and stamped it on the sword tang of the spirit sword, and then Pass both hands to Zhang Xie.

"Senior Brother Zhang, do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Zhang is also considered to be a visionary and knowledgeable person. Once he gets the spirit sword, he knows that it is of extraordinary quality. He then looked at Qian Chao's small seal on the sword and said with a smile: "That's fine, then consider me taking advantage of Junior Brother Qian." Cheap, thanks, now the mushroom is yours."

Qian Chao put the piece of pine mushroom away, said goodbye, bowed and left.

"Senior Brother Zhang, didn't you say that this piece of pine mushroom of yours is worth more than thirty spiritual stones? He just exchanged it for a sword. So, Senior Brother, you are at a huge loss?"

"What do you know? This spiritual sword is a six-talisman spiritual sword. It costs at least thirty spiritual stones. The one I have is a pine mushroom, which is more than twenty spiritual stones. This kid has a good eye and knows how to eat. It's a small loss. Besides, it's not easy to sell. I asked someone to find out. Unless it's for refining the alchemy furnace, it's of no use. If it can't be sold for such a long time, it would be a good idea to replace it with a spiritual sword."

"Senior Brother Zhang, you just let that kid off like this. This is not a tool hall. That guy knows how to refine weapons, so he must have a lot of good stuff!"

"Don't give me bad ideas. Are you blind? That boy is wearing the sign of the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall. Didn't you see it? Deal with him. Hum, there are nearly two hundred buildings in the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall. Senior Brother Ji, who can I afford to offend? Du Sha just has no eyes, and he has not made any progress after his bad luck. He still has no eyes after he goes out, and that is what he ends up with. Think twice before doing anything, do you understand?"

The kid who was reprimanded had followed Du Sha before and was punished in court within the sect. Outside the sect, he was forced to leave the storage bag by Lu Pingchuan's senior brother Xi Kan. He was already angry. Seeing Qian Chao was considered a punishment. His teeth were itching with hatred, and he encouraged Zhang Xie to deal with the money tide. After hearing Zhang Yue's reprimand, the boy was dissatisfied and said angrily: "Can the inner hall's Foundation Establishment Brother still protect him?"

"Nonsense!" Zhang Xie said angrily after hearing this, "Have you ever heard of a senior brother named Xu Bo in the inner hall of Chengqi Hall? That senior brother Xu entered the inner hall when he was practicing qi. After entering the inner hall, he bullied him and started to attack him. Do you know what will happen to these ruthless boys?"

"have no idea"

When Zhang Xun said this, everyone else around him became curious and came over to listen.

"I don't know either." After Zhang Xun finished speaking, he saw that each of his men looked at him inexplicably and thought he was joking. He stared at them solemnly and said, "Because those people disappeared outside and no one knew what they were." End of the story, you are not allowed to mention this matter again after today, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside, so as not to get yourself into trouble!"

After saying this, the boys around him, especially the one who was teasing Zhang Xun, felt chills all over their bodies, and they nodded in agreement.



"This piece of pine mushroom is pretty good."

In the inner hall, Senior Brother Xu Bo's slightly pale fingers were gently stroking the dark pine mushroom. This was Qian Chao's first time handling this kind of material, so he took it to the inner hall and asked Xu Bo, who was on duty, to take a look at it.

"What's rare is that he's so big. Junior Brother Qian, I, as a senior brother, have to be more shameless with you. There is a senior brother in Qixia Mountain who also asked me to refine a pill furnace. It has been a while, but this I can’t find the spirit worm mud, so it seems I can only use something else as a substitute.”

"Senior Brother Xu, you're welcome. I'm just refining an alchemy furnace. You can use it as much as you like, Senior Brother Xu."

"It's not much." After saying that, Senior Brother Xu took out a sharp knife, cut off one-fifth of the size of the piece of pine mushroom, and put it away very carefully.

This matsutake mushroom is actually a kind of spiritual plant, just like a mushroom. However, the growing matsutake mushroom is useless. To be useful, it must wait for it to wither naturally. Over time, the whole mushroom becomes like soil but still remains. It looks like it is when it is growing. Only then can it be taken and finely ground for use in refining the alchemy furnace.

Xu Bo took Qian Chao's pine mushroom and did not give it to the spirit stone. Instead, he explained the key to refining the alchemy furnace to Qian Chao in detail. To Qian Chao, this was much more valuable than the spirit stone. So Xu Bo After Bo finished speaking, Qian Chao thanked him profusely.
