Liangchen returned to Liquor Town and reported to Lao Wangtou about the past few days, but he omitted the part about participating in the exchange meeting and said that he would need to purchase some things in the next few days.
Returning to the room, he took out dozens of secret books from the storage bag. Some were scrolls, some were written on animal skins, and some were engraved on jade slips, and he placed them all on a table.
Some of them are the craftsman's notes. Such notes are a kind of practice notes recorded by the craftsman from the time he was a craftsman, until he became a craftsman, or some of them recorded his whole life.
There are also a few tips on refining low-grade spiritual treasures. It only records the experience of refining some single spiritual treasures.
"If the experience of refining low-grade spiritual treasures can be exchanged for equivalent low-level earth-level combat skills, I wonder what kind of combat skills this craftsman's handbook can be exchanged for?"
"I think it must be higher than this formula. If possible, use a few more books to exchange for an intermediate earth-level combat skill!" He thought about it and selected a few books, and then took all the secret books back.
After resting for a while, he came to the blacksmith shop. Master Kang was extremely happy to see him return. After all, this nominal "apprentice" has really earned himself a lot of beast crystals in the past few years!
And as Liangchen's level improved, Master Kang no longer considered himself an elder, but regarded him as a friend.
"The good time is back." Master Kang said with a smile.
"Well, I just got home and rushed here. I haven't been here for the past few days, so a lot of orders have been delayed, right?" Liangchen said with a smile.
"It's not a delay. It's just that more and more people have come to order swords recently. I'm afraid I'll tire you out! No, there are two people who came to order three hundred-edged swords today." Master Kang said with a hint of concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. My body requires exercise to improve. I haven't practiced sword practice for a few days, and I feel uncomfortable all over! Haha." Liangchen said with a smile.
"Haha! Yes, you are much more diligent than I was back then! I had to work half as hard as you when I was young, and now I am a yellow-level warrior! Alas, when I was young, I was greedy for enjoyment and reluctant to endure hardship." Master Kang said with a little He said with a sad smile.
As the two of them talked, Master Kang took over the orders for the past few days.
"I came here to order this a few days ago. Let's do this first. I have prepared the materials." Master Kang pointed to several materials on the table and said.
"Well, that's okay." Liangchen said, taking off his upper leather armor, revealing his muscular arms, and began to refine the sword.
Not long after, the sound of "clinking" forging iron filled the whole room, and a sledgehammer weighing several hundred kilograms was swung freely in his hand, like an arm.
But each blow requires uniform strength and accurate impact point, which requires extremely high physical exertion and power control. Soon his forehead was covered with sweat.
The flames in the furnace reflected his refined figure, and the sledgehammer raised high hit the red, refined iron with the wind, making a sound of "Bang! Bang!", like his unwilling cry.
It seems that what was hit was not the fine iron, but the many difficulties and obstacles that stood in front of him!
...
More than ten days passed by in a flash, and it was a good time to pack up and head straight to Blackfire County.
When he arrived at Sanwei Bookstore, shopkeeper Li saw him arriving as promised and welcomed him in with a smile.
"How are the things prepared?" Shopkeeper Li asked. After all, there is nothing that can be taken out, so it is not easy to exchange.
"Everything is ready." Liangchen replied with a smile.
"That's good. Let's rest upstairs. The trade fair won't start until tonight." Shopkeeper Li said.
"Okay." Liangchen followed him upstairs.
The room layout is relatively simple, with a small wooden table, a few wicker chairs, and a few totem-like cloth paintings on the wall.
Shopkeeper Li made a pot of tea, chatted with him for a few words, and then went downstairs to take care of the business.
Liangchen took a Lanxiao Pill and started practicing Qigong.
The effect of this Lanxiao Pill is indeed good. After more than ten days of practice, it is obviously faster than before, and now it is about to break through the middle stage of Qi training.
Since Liangchen's body training, his body's meridians have been greatly exercised and expanded, and the speed of spiritual energy running and gathering has been greatly improved. This is really an unexpected surprise for him.
But it is too time-consuming and energy-consuming. No wonder there are few people who practice both body and law. After all, the cost of early practice is too high, and the improvement of realm is too slow.
If he hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have learned this body-refining technique.
After completing the twelve weeks of exercise and resting for a while, the sky gradually became dark.
"Brother Ye, you can get ready to go." While he was thinking about things, shopkeeper Li came up and said.
"Let's go." Liangchen stood up and followed him out of the study room. The two of them walked and chatted.
"Have Shopkeeper Li ever heard of Zhongzhou?" Liangchen asked in passing.
"Zhongzhou?" This question obviously stopped him. Shopkeeper Li thought for a moment, shook his head and said,
"I've never heard of this place. I wonder what Brother Ye is asking about?"
"A friend asked me to help inquire, but I don't know the details." Liangchen said casually.
"When you get to the trade fair, you can ask around. It's best to ask people who have traveled around. They should have heard of it.
I, a bookstore manager, have been staying in this city for many years, and I rarely even go out to Blackfire County. "Shopkeeper Li said mockingly.
The two chatted for a few streets and walked to a large house. The door was heavily guarded and there were several guards with bows and arrows standing there.
Shopkeeper Li went up and showed a token, and then walked straight in.
The house is very large, with a main building in the middle and several small buildings scattered around.
Occasionally there were guards patrolling the road. Liangchen followed Shopkeeper Li through the corridor, crossed the bridge and walked around a stick of incense before reaching a side building.
A middle-aged woman stood at the door. When she saw the two people approaching, she smiled and said:
"Hey, isn't this shopkeeper Li? Did you receive something good?"
"Haha, did Sister Jin take the elixir that rejuvenated her youth? We haven't seen each other for a few days, and she looks much more beautiful!" Shopkeeper Li didn't answer, but praised her, as if the two of them were very familiar.
"Haha, you've read too many books and you know how to talk. Who is this young man?" Sister Jin said with a smile from ear to ear when she heard his compliment.
"A friend of mine wants to come over and change some suitable combat skills." Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.
"Oh, come on in, the exchange meeting is about to start." Sister Jin patted Shopkeeper Li on the shoulder and said.
The two pushed the door open and entered. There were many people standing in the room. When they saw someone else coming, they turned around to see a few familiar people coming up to say hello.
Liangchen stood beside him and looked around.
The hall is about three feet high, with feathers of various exotic birds and beasts hanging on the walls, skulls of monsters and beasts, and the complete skeleton of an unknown eagle hanging in the middle.
There are some wicker chairs and wooden tables around the room, and many people are sitting there drinking tea and chatting.
There were about thirty or forty people in the room. They were either powerful or restrained. Many of them were warriors at the same level as Liangchen, but most of them were people who couldn't sense the level. They must be much higher than him.
