Sword Master Online Chapter 12: : Shopkeeper Zhou
Three months are not long, not short. In the mortal world, you can do a lot of things in three months. And in the world of cultivating immortals, three months may be just a time to enter the mind.
As for Lu Yu, these three months have been very busy. He kept running between Yujianzong and Lianfang City. And Lu Yu was sitting in Yuhexuan's inner room drinking tea, waiting for the treasurer Zhou to return.
Recalling the events in the past three months, I can only use the word "refining device" to describe it. Since returning to Yujianzong three months ago, Lu Yu immediately hid in the refining room with the star iron. This time the refining was as smooth as Lu Yu had expected. With the help of the ring, Lu Yu completed the ten meteor sword in two days. Then Lu Yu rushed to Lianfang City by himself. The ten meteor swords were sold to ten different shops, including Yuhexuan. The prices offered by the other nine companies were only one thousand lower-grade spirit stones, while Yuhexuan gave one thousand five hundred lower-grade spirit stones. Lu Yu took more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, bought a large amount of materials and returned to the sect.
Half a month later, Lu Yu brought dozens of mid-level meteor swords and two top-level scarlet swords to Lianhefang City. I secretly sold all the things in batches. It took Lu Yu half a month to sell these things just because he was afraid that someone would notice him. But that's it, Lu Yu currently has more than one hundred middle-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to the entire wealth of an ordinary sword spirit.
In the two months after , Lu Yu spent constantly refining tools and secretly selling things. However, because Lu Yu was afraid of Yuhexuan, the only thing he sold to Yuhexuan these few times was a meteor sword. Other things are constantly changing stores to sell.
Until today, Lu Yu has also sold the last batch of things, and now there are more than 300 middle-grade spirit stones. He plans to use these spirit stones to buy a large amount of Guiyuan Pill, and some materials for refining weapons and armor for himself. After buying these things, you no longer sell weapons. Because he discovered that the weapons in this market are already saturated, and someone should soon discover the anomalies of these weapons. If he comes here to sell weapons, it will be very dangerous.
He first came to Yuhexuan because the shopkeeper Zhou had promised him to sell him a batch of Guiyuan Pills, and only received one thousand lower-grade spirit stones per bottle, which is a middle-grade spirit stone. This price is a dozen or so lower-grade spirit stones cheaper than outside. After explaining his intention to shopkeeper Zhou, he waited quietly in the inner room for shopkeeper Zhou to bring the Guiyuan Pill.
"Little brother has been waiting for a long time." Shopkeeper Zhou walked in with a face full of spring breeze, holding a storage bag in his hand.
Lu Yu was still enveloped in a cloud of white mist. Hearing the voice of the treasurer Zhou, he quickly got up and gave his hand, said with a smile: "Boss Zhou is polite. You can sell me things so cheaply, it is worth waiting for me to wait for more than ten days."
The two spoke a few words like old friends they hadn’t seen for many years, and then took their seats as guest and host.
"I have 20 bottles of Guiyuan Pill here. I can give it to you." Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said lightly.
"Boss Zhou is really generous! I don't know what the price of getting these twenty bottles of Guiyuan Pill is?" Lu Yu's expression changed, because he was hidden in the mist, and the shopkeeper Zhou couldn't see it either. Twenty bottles of Guiyuan Pills are equivalent to 20,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the other party must have something to come up with so many things in one breath.
"Okay, I won't go around the corners anymore. To be honest, I am also a craftsman. I have studied this way for more than 30 years." When the shopkeeper Zhou said this, he looked at Lu Yu with a smile. I glanced at it and said: "I see that the talent of the little brother's young craftsman is quite amazing. He can craft eleven stainless steel swords within a month. Among the genius craftsmen I have seen, there are Such a talent is no more than ten fingers."
Lu Yu heard this, "cocked" in his heart. He didn't expect that he was so cautious, but he was still seen by others. Lu Yu quickly thought about the countermeasures, whether to turn around immediately or listen to what he said behind him.
Lu Yu thought about this, first looked around the inner room, and found that a faint white light had appeared around the inner room for some time. It was like a hood covering this secret room. Lu Yu's heart fell straight down, and he was extremely wary of Shopkeeper Zhou. He didn't expect that he would dare to set up a circle directly in the shop. Does the other party want to do it now? This is Lianfang City. Lu Yu felt a little regretful in his heart, why did he put himself in a desperate situation in order to save that little spiritual stone.
The shopkeeper Zhou saw Lu Yu looking around, a smile appeared on his face. Although I can't see the other person's expression, I guess the other person's face must be ugly right now.
"Little brother, don't worry, this is just a simple soundproofing method, just to prevent others from eavesdropping on our speech." Shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile.
Lu Yu greeted all eighteenth generations of the shopkeeper's ancestors this week, and the ghost believed that this circle was used for sound insulation. However, seeing the performance of the shopkeeper this week, it seems that he didn't want to kill him immediately. Killing himself with the opponent's swordsman's ten-layer Dzogchen cultivation base was just a matter of raising his hands. The opponent trapped himself here, there must be a special reason.
Lu Yu thought of this, but his heart calmed down, and he said coldly, "Then I don’t know what Boss Zhou has to let others know?"
The shopkeeper Zhou smiled, put the teacup to his mouth and sipped, then said slowly: "I got a secret book about refining in the early years. There is a first-rank holy sword on it that needs two people to work together. Refining, the sword body part needs to be poured by the refiner with blood, and the refiner must be under twenty years old."
"First-Rank Saint Stage? Isn't it only the lower, middle and top stages?" Lu Yu asked with some confusion.
After listening to the shopkeeper Zhou, he laughed and said, “That’s because you haven’t been in contact with the refining device for a long time. In fact, each grade is divided into middle, lower, middle, top, and holy fourth. It’s just the holy step. The materials of the are too cherished, and the success rate is very low. Therefore, there is no sale on the market. Generally, some experts who have reached a very high level are really boring, so they will refine some for their children and grandchildren. The weapons of the holy rank are average. They are all priceless. They only appear occasionally in some large auctions. That’s why you don’t know it."
Lu Yu was shocked and asked: "How powerful is the holy rank?"
"How old? Let me tell you this. Ten intermediate ranks are equivalent to a top rank, and a hundred top ranks are equivalent to a holy rank. If you have a holy rank weapon, you can even use the swordsman's tenth level of cultivation as a realm. Fighting with the early masters of Sword Spirit, it's not always clear who will die." Shopkeeper Zhou sneered.
Lu Yu secretly thought in his heart that he had the mysterious ring to help him, and if he could obtain the materials for the holy rank weapons, he would be 100% successful in refining. With holy rank weapons, self-preservation shouldn't be a problem in this swordsman realm.
Lu Yu suddenly thought of another question in the words of shopkeeper Zhou, staring at shopkeeper Zhou, and asked calmly: "How can you be sure that I am under twenty years old?"
"Using magic symbols can conceal a person's age and figure. But..." The shopkeeper Zhou paused and took out a bronze mirror from the storage bag, with a faint yellow light flashing on it. . Shopkeeper Zhou took a picture of Lu Yu. After a while, a few simple words appeared on the mirror: "Yellow-level single sword spirit root, bone age twelve."
"Magic weapon!" Lu Yu looked at it, and his expression suddenly changed. This is a special spiritual treasure that can detect the bone age and spiritual roots of cultivators. The so-called magic weapon is the realm above the sword spirit-the master of the sword master realm uses the technique of refining the magic arts that he cultivates into a special artifact. In this case, this magic weapon only needs to be injected with mana, and the spell can be released instantly. However, according to the amount of mana injected, the power of this magic weapon can be determined.
"I didn't expect that the little guy on the first floor would also recognize this thing." Shopkeeper Zhou said.
"How much blood is needed for watering." Lu Yu asked.
"It doesn't need much, just add a few drops after refining it." The shopkeeper Zhou replied.
"Do you need refining now?" Lu Yu asked the question that he cared most, and he didn't believe that it only needed a few drops of blood. If you need to refine it now, it is estimated that you are in danger.
"Your mana is too low, and there is no way to refine the sword body. At least three levels of cultivation are required to refining it reluctantly. However, your qualifications are really too bad." The shopkeeper Zhou frowned. Wrinkle said.
"So, you give me twenty bottles of Guiyuan Pill." Lu Yu finally understood why the treasurer Zhou wanted to give himself the Guiyuan Pill, because his poor qualifications saved him a batch of spirit stones.
"I think with these 20 bottles of Guiyuan Pill, you should be able to reach the third floor of the Swordsman in two years. This is all my medicine." The shopkeeper Zhou looked at Lu Yu with a cold look. .
"Can I say no?" Lu Yu said helplessly.
"This is naturally the best. You swear a blood oath." Shopkeeper Zhou returned to calm and said calmly.
"Blood oath?" Lu Yu was shocked and blurted out.
"You don't know what the blood oath is?" Shopkeeper Zhou said.
Lu Yu certainly knows what the blood oath is. The blood oath in the world of cultivating immortals is like an invisible force that restrains cultivators in the dark. Similar to the law of the world, but this is no better than the law that can let people take advantage of the loopholes. Once this blood oath is established, as long as you violate the oath, you will soon burst into death.
Lu Yu knows that there is nothing left now. If he does not swear a blood oath, he may not even be able to pass today's level.
Lu Yu nodded helplessly. Then said: "What kind of vow do you want me to fulfill."
"It's very simple. Within two years, you have to be at least on the third floor of the swordsman, and come to see me in the Dongfu in the west of Wufu Mountain. Here is the specific location of the Dongfu." After that, the shopkeeper Zhou threw a jade slip to Lu Yu. Lu Yu held the jade slip in his hand, closed his eyes and looked at it. There really was a map inside with the specific location on it.
After Lu Yu collected the jade slips, he put the Guiyuan Pill in front of Shopkeeper Zhou into the storage bag.
Then, Lu Yu took out a small sword and made a cut between his fingers. Pressing on the center of my eyebrows, he said seriously: "I swear by blood, I will reach the third level of swordsman in two years. And I will see him in the Dongfu of Zhou shopkeeper in two years." The words just fell, the blood on the eyebrows A quaint pattern was formed, and then disappeared from the center of the eyebrows.
After the treasurer Zhou saw that Lu Yu's blood oath had been taken. Zhanyan smiled and said: "Little brother is really knowledgeable. Don't worry, as long as you can help me complete that weapon, the benefits will be indispensable to you."
Lu Yu coldly snorts: "Now~IndoMTL.com~ I can go now."
"Of course, anytime. Two years later, I am waiting for my little brother to drive in Wufu Mountain." The shopkeeper Zhou didn't pay attention to Lu Yu's words at all. With a little hand, the aura that enveloped the entire inner room instantly disappeared.
Lu Yu saw that the magic circle had been closed, and he didn't want to stay there anymore, so he left Yuhexuan directly and came to the noisy street.
Lu Yu didn't stop as soon as he left Yuhexuan, and directly mixed into the crowd on the street. After a while, I couldn't tell which was Lu Yu.
There are not only shops in Lianfang City, but also many inns for cultivators to meditate. Each room will have a small magic circle, which is safer. Many people will live in the inn slowly picking things in Fangshi. Lu Yu found an inn at random, and after placing a low-grade spirit stone in the magic circle in the room, the defensive circle in the room slowly began to operate.
Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, and his heart gradually settled down. A careful analysis of what happened in Yuhexuan. This week the shopkeeper obviously had planned to wait for Lu Yu to take the bait. Lu Yu would not believe that shopkeeper Zhou was only looking for his own refining device two years later. Fortunately, I still have two years to go. Shopkeeper Zhou didn't know that he still had more than 300 middle-level spirit stones, because he only sold a few middle-level weapons. With these spirit stones, Lu Yu can quickly improve his strength within these two years.
Because he had taken the Guiyuan Pill given by Liu Yiyi before, Lu Yu is now a swordsman's mid-level cultivation base. Lu Yu decided to stay at the inn first, after taking the twenty bottles of Guiyuan Pill, and then taking a look at what realm he could reach. Then decide how many Guiyuan Pills to buy and return to the school to practice. With the remaining money, see if you can buy some materials to make some weapons and equipment to increase your strength.
