"How much?" Lu Jing still has more than 10,000 taels of silver on him, so he feels he has some confidence when it comes to money.
But then I heard Chi spit out a number, "five hundred thousand taels."
Lu Jing suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and after a moment he said, "Didn't you tell me that the most expensive order you ever received was only two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
"Two hundred thousand taels is just the labor cost," Chi said. "The raw materials are provided by the other party. I said that there is no labor fee for making those two things for you, so this time the five hundred thousand taels is just the cost of the raw materials."
"What raw materials are so expensive?" Lu Jing took a breath.
Chi thought Lu Jing's question was strange, "How many people have you seen with flying swords?"
After being reminded by Chi, Lu Jing also discovered that, excluding Gu Zhongling in Biyoudongtian, it seemed that he had not seen a second person practicing flying sword in the entire academy.
Lu Jing said weakly, "Isn't this because sword control is difficult to practice?"
"It is true that sword control is difficult to practice, but the lack of flying swords is also a very important reason," said Chi. "Otherwise, everyone would have the idea of giving it a try. After all, sword control is recognized as the top of all methods. I I have always wanted to make a flying sword myself, but unfortunately I don’t have the raw materials on hand.
"The two flying swords I have here now, one is the work of my master in his later years, and the other is a relic left by my father, so half a million is not expensive... In fact, the raw materials for refining the flying swords have always been valuable. There is no market, so you can't buy it at all," Chi said.
Lu Jing was stunned when he heard this, and after a pause he said, "Isn't there something cheaper?"
"How much money do you have?" Chi asked.
"One...twelve thousand taels." Lu Jing never thought that one day he would have such a huge sum of money that he would be so unsure of what he said.
"It's a little less, but if you're really in a hurry, I can give you this flying sword first," Chi said.
"Really? But these two swords should be quite important to you, right? Doesn't it matter if you just sell them to me?"
Chi didn't think there was anything wrong, "It's normal. Aren't magic weapons just for use? It would be a real waste to leave them gathering dust here. It's better to give them to people who really need them... But you come to me to buy them." Feijian, is it because you can now practice secret power?!"
Chi stared at Lu Jing with burning eyes. She was just concentrating on refining the weapon. She was a little ignorant of the world, but not stupid. She quickly thought of something.
Lu Jing smiled bitterly, "I will find a way to make up for the remaining 488,000 taels as soon as possible."
"How soon is as soon as possible?"
"Give me half a year."
"What if you can't make up for it in half a year?" Chi asked.
Lu Jing sighed, "Then I'll learn to refine weapons from you, but let's make a deal first, learn after learning, and I won't move in with you."
"We are colleagues, not a teacher and a student. What you gave me earlier is very useful. We can study it together." Chi corrected.
Although Lu Jing seemed unwilling to move to this cave to live with her, it was obvious that Chi was still very happy and was already thinking about helping Lu Jing pull the bellows in half a year.
She got into a stone room on the other side of the cave, and came back after a while holding two wooden boxes in her hands, and asked Lu Jingdao, "Which one do you want?"
Lu Jing actually didn't have any requirements for the quality of the flying sword. He just wanted to use sword control to quickly consume a large amount of secret power in Niwan Palace, so he casually pointed at the one on the right.
Chi opened the wooden box and said, "This sword is called Huguang. It is one foot and six inches long. It was made by my master Ouyang Pei. It was a work made after she perfected her smelting skills in her later years. It is called this sword because when it is flying, the sword There will be brilliance flowing through the body, just like the ripples on the surface of the lake."
Lu Jing took the small sword from Chi's hand, and the first feeling in his hand was that it was light. According to Chi, the weight of flying swords is very small. This is to reduce the secret power consumed by flying swords as much as possible.
Moreover, the sword body is much shorter than an ordinary long sword, about the same size as a dagger, because it does not need to be held in the hand to face the enemy, and the guard and hilt are very thin.
Lu Jing had fought against Gu Zhongling before, so he was no stranger to flying swords. He also subconsciously compared Hu Guang and Gu Zhongling's two small swords, one green and one silver.
I found that the lake light was not as cold as the two small swords, but it looked more elegant.
Lu Jing followed Gu Zhongling's example and put the small sword into his sleeve, then thanked Chi.
It's a pity that Gu Zhongling used the hidden sword style in sword control. The flying sword was hanging in his sleeve but would not come into contact with the clothes on his arm. It was so magical. However, Lu Jing purely relied on the high defense brought by the fire lin armor. Feijian was forced in.
Chi later handed over the sword box and said, "Take this away too. If the flying sword is damaged, put it in the box and it can be repaired slowly."
After getting the light of the lake, Lu Jing didn't waste any more time and immediately returned to his residence for retreat.
According to the records in the first half of the sword-raising chapter of Qingguang Yueyingjian, he put the lake light on his forehead.
Not sure if it was because there were too many secret powers in Niwan Palace, Lu Jing just started to meditate, trying to establish a connection with the flying sword in his hand.
The secret power in his body was already beginning to stir up, which made Lu Jing breathe a sigh of relief.
After that, he followed the current and controlled part of the secret power to get into the newly obtained flying sword, swim around in it, and then split it into two parts. One part stayed in the flying sword, and the other part returned again. Go to Niwan Palace.
Repeating this cycle, a sword shadow gradually formed in Niwan Palace.
Upon closer inspection, it is somewhat similar to the lake light in front of Lu Jing's forehead.
This also means that Lu Jing has initially established a mental connection with this flying sword.
So far, everything is going smoothly.
Then came the most important part. Lu Jing needed to project his mind into the sword shadow, and then activate the surrounding secret power to warm the sword shadow.
At first, Lu Jing strictly followed the instructions in the sword manual and carefully mobilized his secret power.
But soon cold sweat broke out on his forehead again, because he didn't know if Xuanji exaggerated the extent to which sword control consumes secret power, saying that ordinary monks could barely establish a connection with Feijian on the first day. , the secret power cultivated every day after that can only be warmed for an hour at most, and then it will no longer be of any use.
Anyway, Lu Jing is still far away from being powerless now. He did some calculations and found that at the current consumption rate, he would only be able to consume less than a quarter of his secret power before dark.
This obviously couldn't save his life, so Lu Jing had to grit his teeth and increase the speed of Jian Ying's absorption of secret power without permission.
