Whenever I have free time recently, I go to the stalls on the city wall to find a suitable fire cauldron and see if there are any books on weapon refining.
This day, he came to the city wall for a stroll again, and stopped in front of a stall.
The person setting up the stall was a middle-aged strong man. In front of him were a mini tripod, two ancient scrolls, and a few black balls made of unknown materials.
"Brother, come and take a look, they are all good things!" The strong man saw the person coming and greeted him warmly.
Liangchen picked up the scroll and flipped through it, and he suddenly became interested. The two ancient books were like the notes of a weapon-refining monk, but the weapon-refining methods written in the books were completely different from what he had learned.
One describes how to purify ore through methods such as heating and hammering, which seems to be a secular method of forging weapons. To put it bluntly, it is like a blacksmith's handbook.
The method of refining weapons described in another book is even more bizarre. The author of the book actually proposed to place the materials in a place with dense thunder and lightning, and use the thunder from the sky to burn the ore to purify it!
"It's so whimsical!"
Ye Liangchen turned over the scroll and couldn't help but put the scroll down in disappointment.
"Brother, you can see that he is a person who refines weapons. These two secret books and this small cauldron were obtained through hard work from a cave left behind by a master craftsman.
How many people have been sacrificed for these few things! "The shopkeeper looked disappointed when he saw Liangchen and hurriedly boasted about his stuff.
"Can you count this as a secret book? It's just a recipe for blacksmithing for mortals, and it needs to be obtained from the cave of the master craftsman? I'm the shopkeeper of a shop in the city, not a victim who is passing by!" Liangchen retorted with a smile.
"Hey, look at what little brother said! I have always been a child without deception in business, and I didn't lie to you at all! These things are indeed what I and a few friends got from exploring a cave!"
The strong man's voice was a little louder, as if it was more convincing.
Liangchen didn't seem to hear it and stopped touching the scroll. Instead, he picked up the small tripod and started reading.
The small tripod looks like it is made of bronze, with four legs and three ears. It is simple and generous and feels very comfortable!
However, there were no birds or animals in the cauldron. It curved around an ancient tree. If you look closely, there was a stone under the tree with a small sword stuck on it.
"I've never heard of this kind of tripod! The things sold in this shop are really weird and abnormal!" Liangchen looked at it in confusion and thought to himself.
Liangchen played with the small cauldron and fell in love with it more and more. He thought that he didn't have high requirements for the cauldron, so he might just buy a cauldron and give it a try.
"Boss, how can I sell this tripod?" Liangchen asked.
"Two hundred gold." The strong man replied.
"So expensive! What kind of cauldron is this?" Liangchen asked in surprise.
"This... this is a precious tripod for refining weapons! Any tripod nowadays costs thousands of gold. Is it still expensive if I want two hundred!?" The strong man was obviously confused by the question. He did not answer the question directly and was stunned for a moment. Said changing the topic.
"There are animal cauldrons and bird cauldrons for refining weapons. I wonder what cauldron this is?" Liangchen asked with a smile.
"This..." The store owner was also obviously short of breath. After all, when he went to the Immortal Building with this cauldron, the clerk said "no" and asked him to leave!
"If you want it, just give me a hundred gold." The store didn't know how to answer, so he gave up half the price.
Liangchen thought about it for a while and finally put down the small tripod. After all, after years of accumulation, my net worth is only a few hundred gold. It is really inappropriate to spend a hundred gold for an unknown small tripod.
Liangchen took the black bead and looked at it again, but he didn't see anything and was about to leave.
Suddenly an old man in a yellow shirt and a round-faced boy came over and squatted in front of the stall.
The round-faced boy also flipped through two ancient scrolls and asked the old man: "Master, look at this weapon refining method, it seems to be the weapon refining secret book of the Sizhou people in the south?"
"Yes, this weapon refining method is especially suitable for body refining monks or people with low magic power to learn." The old man took the book and flipped through it and answered.
"Master, that's not right for me." The young man said happily.
"Your magic power has advanced so quickly. You may still be able to use it now, but if you wait a little longer, you won't be able to use it at all. Besides, you haven't learned the orthodoxy of the sect well. How can you learn some alien tricks? It's okay if you don't learn them!" the old man said. .
"Oh, my disciple knows." The square-faced boy put down the secret book angrily.
The two of them looked at a few other things, but they didn't seem to see anything interesting, so they turned around and left.
After Liangchen listened to the conversation between the two, he turned back when he was about to leave. He picked up the book and flipped through it several times. After thinking about it carefully, he asked:
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this book?"
"Brother, you heard it too. This is a secret manual for refining weapons from a foreign race. It is suitable for a cultivator of your level, brother. I'll just charge you three hundred gold."
When the strong man saw him, he picked up the secret book again and secretly said it enthusiastically.
"Three hundred gold?! Are you asking for such a high price? A low-level blacksmithing book is only worth a few dozen gold at most." Liangchen couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard three hundred gold.
"Brother, you heard what the senior said just now. This is not an ordinary weapon refining method, it is a foreign weapon refining secret book.
And I did pay a lot for these things. Three hundred gold is not expensive at all. "The strong man said as if he was already at a disadvantage.
"Tell me an honest price, boss. You've been here all day and no one cares." Liangchen said.
"Seeing that you are a real person, just two hundred and fifty gold." The strong man looked like he was in pain.
"One hundred gold, one hundred gold at most." Liangchen said after thinking about it.
"One hundred gold won't do! If you really want it, just two hundred gold." The strong man seemed to have made a lot of determination.
"One hundred gold, I guess no one would want this book except me." Liangchen seemed to think it was only worth a hundred gold.
"One hundred and eighty gold, the lowest price! Take it if it suits you." After hearing Liangchen's words, the strong man hesitated and gave in again.
"One hundred and twenty gold." Liangchen also increased the price.
"One hundred and sixty gold, this is really the lowest price. If it is any lower, I will keep it and sell it to others." The shop owner gave in again.
"Shopkeeper, one hundred and sixty gold is fine, but I want you to give me a small cauldron." Liangchen thought for a while, then suddenly pointed at the small cauldron and said.
"That's not possible. The tripod costs one hundred." The shop owner waved his hand and said.
"Seller, you know how much your things are worth. That little tripod is just an ordinary toy. No one may want it for ten or twenty gold. I asked you to give it to me because I liked it. It can be regarded as making a friend." Liangchen said with a sincere expression.
"Here." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about it in his mind.
"Okay, okay. One hundred and sixty gold, Xiaoding is given to you." As if he had made a lot of determination, the shop owner agreed to Ye Liangchen's request.
After buying what he wanted, Liangchen happily paid one hundred and sixty gold.
I took two things and looked left and right. I fell in love with them more and more and walked back with satisfaction.
