Chapter 12: The Lower Ruins
After a few more hours, Chen Shaojun pushed open the door and walked out.
Jiang Bo and Red Lotus were gone, and the courtyard of the Chen Mansion was quiet, only an old plane tree swayed in the wind, sprinkling a lot of fallen leaves.
"Maybe go out and buy something. ”
Chen Shaojun smiled slightly, and was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly, a subtle sound of conversation came into his ears:
"Honglian, I can't ask for this money no matter what, this is your dowry money! ”
At the end of the sentence, the man visibly lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.
It's Jiang Bo's voice!
Chen Shaojun stopped. If it weren't for the cultivation of the Qingqi Twin Pupils, it would have been impossible for him to hear such a subtle sound from a distance.
I'm afraid even Jiang Bo didn't know that he could hear him clearly from such a distance.
At this moment, another girl's voice came from my ear:
"Uncle Jiang, when has this happened? There is such a big thing in the family, is it time to discuss this? Moreover, don't you also become the pair of ancestral jade pendants?"
Red Lotus's voice was extremely annoyed.
"Red Lotus, this is different. Jiang Bo is already old, but you are still young. And if you get together at home, you can still make up some silver if you get rid of some things. ”
Jiang Bo's voice was serious.
"What else is there to do at home, do you really think I don't know anything? The young master has never suffered since he was born, and now that the Chen family has changed drastically, if there is no more silver, will the young master be allowed to eat white porridge with us?"
"This, alas, Red Lotus, you are too dead-eyed......"
With a long sigh, it seemed that Jiang Bo finally accepted it helplessly.
"Buzz!"
Hearing these words, Chen Shaojun's heart shook suddenly.
White porridge!
In the absence of his father and eldest brother, the situation at home is indeed not as good as before, which Chen Shaojun already knew when Honglian sent three vegetarian dishes yesterday.
It's just that Chen Shaojun didn't know that while he was eating three vegetarian dishes, Jiang Bo and Honglian were drinking white porridge. Moreover, the two of them never came to face each other at all.
If he hadn't cultivated the Clear Qi Twin Pupils, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known about this matter until now.
"Is it so difficult at home now?"
Chen Shaojun stood under the old tree in a daze, sad and moved in his heart.
“...... Let's go inside. Remember not to let the young master see it for a while. ”
Outside the mansion, there was a faint sound of footsteps, and after a while, Jiang Bo and Honglian walked in from outside the door together:
"Young Master. ”
"Hmm. ”
Chen Shaojun nodded, looked at Jiang Bo who looked like usual in front of him, and the red lotus with a smile on his face, and let out a long sigh in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had just heard the whispers between the two, I am afraid that he still didn't know the situation in the house.
"Uncle Jiang, Red Lotus, I'll go out for a walk and I'll be back in a while. ”
Chen Shaojun said.
Jiang Bo and Honglian nodded, and did not stop them.
Coming out of Chen's mansion, Chen Shaojun walked alone on the street, and his heart was up and down.
"I didn't expect that the family had reached such a point, Jiang Bo and Honglian both needed to use their own money to subsidize our Chen family. If it weren't for the fact that I had cultivated the Clear Qi Twin Pupils, I am afraid that I would still be in the dark now, Honglian and Jiang Bo have affection and righteousness to our Chen family, no matter what, I can't let them suffer!"
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart.
"It is difficult for a good woman to be a barrier without rice", not to mention that Chen Shaojun is still a scholar who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers. If it was before, Chen Shaojun might really have no way at all.
But now it's different, after reaching the fourfold martial arts and opening the refiner's "weapon vein", it has infinite possibilities.
Not only that, in Chen Shaojun's plan, if he cultivated to this point, and in the future, if he wanted to quickly reach the fifth level of Qi Realm, he also needed to rely on some external forces.
"It's time to go to the lower ruins!"
......
Go to the market!
A place where all kinds of beginner warriors gathered in the capital city of Dashang to sell jade, herbs, pills, weapons and treasures.
It provides a large number of cultivation resources, which can help you practice quickly and get twice the result with half the effort, which is a great attraction for martial artists.
It is said that there are other places in the capital city that sell higher-level items, but the threshold is extremely high, and only the lower ruins are open to warriors of all classes.
In Chen Shaojun's plan, after reaching the fourth level of martial arts, this place is bound to come.
With his current situation, only here can he find a lot of what he wants.
"There are all kinds of treasures in the lower ruins, but there is still a certain chance, and buying some treasures at a cheap price will be of great benefit to my cultivation. ”
Chen Shaojun walked slowly with his hands behind his back. In the streets and alleys of the lower market, the crowd is surging, and the three religions and nine streams are all gathered here, all kinds of treasures, and the categories are complicated.
All of this gave him a sense of freshness that he had never felt before.
In a place like Xiaxu, there are a lot of fish and dragons, and in the past, his father would never allow him to come. But now, with a finger, for the sake of the Chen family's livelihood and further improvement, Chen Shaojun is confident to give it a try here.
"Immortal Emperor Treasure Bamboo, ten ingots of gold, can enhance the qi and blood of the martial artist, gather aura, everyone come and see!"
"Great Compassion Gu Oil, rubbing it on the body ten times a day, can warm the muscles and veins, strengthen the body, only nine ingots of silver for one or two!"
"Tiger Claw Secret Scales, taken from the monster of Longtan in the Northwest, more than a dozen masters died, worth three hundred taels of gold......"
......
The shouting all around.
After walking around the lower ruins, Chen Shaojun quickly found the goal he wanted. This is a middle-aged warrior in his thirties, his waist is straight, and he looks like "the whole world is drunk and I am alone".
In front of him, there was a pile of broken treasures.
Although there is a lot of people around, because most of the products sold by this person are defective, and the price is still high. So in front of this person's stall, there are basically a lot of doors, and no one cares.
But the man didn't care, and his expression was pale, as if he had decided that sooner or later, there would be a great patron who would buy all his treasures.
"How much does this six-mangled Qi Gathering Treasure belt cost?"
Chen Shaojun smiled slightly, suddenly walked over, picked up a golden dragon pattern star jade belt from the bunk and asked.
Most of the customers who come to the lower ruins are beginner-level martial artists, so most of the magic weapons and treasures here are not of high grade, and they are mainly based on gathering qi to speed up the speed at which martial artists can absorb clear qi from the turbidity realm.
This golden dragon pattern star jade belt, the grade is already very high, and even ordinary nobles may not be able to afford it, but the surface color of the jade belt is dull, grayish, and there are many fine cracks on the surface, which has been damaged at a glance, and the use value is not great at all.
"Three ingots of gold, don't you see?"
The middle-aged warrior didn't raise his head, stretched out his hand, knocked on the sign in front of him, and didn't have a good airway.
"Haha!"
Hearing the words of the middle-aged martial artist, Chen Shaojun couldn't help laughing:
"A broken jade belt, the color has been white, the formation inside is basically bad, the qi gathering effect is basically equivalent to nothing, just like this jade belt, you sell three ingots of gold, even if you sell it as jade, it's not worth the price, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the goods! Do you know how much a real six-mangled Qi Gathering Treasure belt is worth? At least sixteen ingots of gold. This kind of Qi Gathering Array, which can be carried on the body at any time, has always been priceless. I only sell three ingots of gold, which is expensive. Moreover, even if it is a remnant Qi Gathering Treasure Belt, it is also a treasure belt, how can it be compared to ordinary jade?"
The middle-aged warrior finally raised his head, his face full of disdain.
"Jade can at least be used as a gathering material, but this treasure belt, the gold and stone on it have been consumed, the quality is no longer as good as the original, and there is no luster, it is a used waste product, if someone can repair it, it is worth a few dollars, but now, I'm afraid no one wants a single ingot of gold, right?"
Chen Shaojun played with the treasure belt in his hand and said casually.
"Repair?"
The middle-aged martial artist glanced at Chen Shaojun and sneered:
"Boy, do you know who are the people who can repair magic weapons? That's the mending weapon! These people are either rich or noble, all of them are high, and their status is much more respected than that of the refiner!"
"There are not many such big people in the entire Great Shang Dynasty, you say let them repair the magic weapon for me as a nobody?"
"Really?"
Chen Shaojun smiled slightly, and suddenly the index finger of his right hand stretched out, and the clear qi on the fingertips was released, crackling, and a few fingers hit the jade belt heavily one after another.
"What are you doing? Put down my belt!"
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged warrior on the other end was shocked and angry, and Huo stood up. He has been using this Qi Gathering Treasure Belt for some years, and there are many cracks on the surface, and he can't resist knocking at all.
Now this treasure belt, although the magic circle has been abolished, it is still worth a little money, if it is cracked by Chen Shaojun, it is really worthless!
However, just when the middle-aged martial artist was about to scold, the next moment, his eyes glanced at Chen Shaojun's crystal like jade, delicate luster, glass-like fingers, the middle-aged martial artist was shocked, and in an instant, he swallowed back the scolding that was about to blurt out.
"Instrument...... Fingers!"
The middle-aged martial artist's throat slid down, his face was pale, and he looked at Chen Shaojun in front of him with a panicked expression, and cold sweat flowed out instantly.
In the Great Shang Dynasty, refiners were inherently scarce and precious, and mending mutters were even rarer than refiners, and there might not be one mending mover out of a hundred refiners. But even if it is a complementer, I am afraid it is difficult to have this kind of crystal clear, glass-like top-level "instrument finger".
Xiaxu was just a place where some junior martial artists gathered, and he never expected that such a noble big man would appear here, and appear in front of him!
In an instant, the middle-aged warrior's head was lowered, and he didn't even dare to breathe, and his expression changed from anger at the beginning to awe, awe, and deep uneasiness and panic.
"Damn, I'm really blind in the eyes and actually talking nonsense and offending such a big man. ”
Remembering that he had just scolded this big man, the middle-aged warrior broke out in a cold sweat faster.
