Chapter 6 Buying a Sword in a Small Town
The fist and foot kung fu of these three-legged cats was taught by Master Li Xuandao, and they were barely able to be used for self-defense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The age of this group of spirit monkeys was less than three years old, and Li Xuan found that a group of adult spirit monkeys had been killed by a giant ape, leaving only six small spirit monkeys less than three months old, so he took them away.
The average spirit monkey can live to be five or six hundred years old, and the young spirit monkey must live for at least twenty years before reaching adulthood.
Although the intelligence of the spirit monkey is very high among beasts, its body is very thin compared to that of fierce beasts.
Adult monkeys are able to craft simple weapons to defend themselves, but these six monkeys are able to farm and manage crops, and have learned a little martial arts.
Due to their high intelligence, they are also often caught by human hunters and sold to wealthy families at high prices.
Spirit monkeys can become very good servants after being domesticated, and according to rumors, there are several spirit monkeys that follow the human great immortal master, and they have also successfully cultivated into small immortal masters.
After three days, there was not much food left in the Taoist temple, so Zhao Yu had to take more than 20 lower-grade spirit enhancement pills to Baiting Town, which was hundreds of miles away.
There are only hundreds of families in Baiting Town, and almost all of them are merchants, buying and selling all kinds of sundries, grain, animal meat, salt and other daily necessities.
Zhao Yu had followed Master to Baiting Town three times, and the pharmacy there also bought all kinds of pills and herbs.
Along the way, the road became very muddy due to the melting of ice and snow, but Zhao Yu has been practicing for more than two years, and his steps are very light, even if he walks on slippery ice and snow.
It only took him half a day to arrive at Baiting Town, which was a hundred miles away.
There are only two main streets in Baiting Town, and almost all the merchants are concentrated there.
Zhao Yu walked to the "Liu" Ji pharmacy familiarly, and then said loudly: "Man, I want to sell the Pinzeng Ling Pill." ā
At this time, a young clerk smiled and said, "Little Daoist, the purchase price of a low-grade Zengling Pill in our store is eight hundred sword coins.
"Three months ago, I also came here to sell the lower grade Zengling Pill, and the purchase price at that time was 1,000 knife coins, why has the price dropped so much now?" Zhao Yu hurriedly asked.
"A few days ago, before the heavy snowfall, the purchase price of the lower grade Zengling Pill was also a thousand dollars, but since the heavy snow closed the road, the price of the pill has plummeted a lot, and we have no choice, if it is according to the previous price, the store will lose a lot. The young clerk explained with a smile.
"Well, for this price, I'm going to sell twenty of them. Zhao Yu thought for a moment, and then said.
"Little Daoyou, this is a 16,000 silver ticket, you have taken it. The young clerk enthusiastically handed a silver ticket to Zhao Yu.
After Zhao Yu left the pharmacy, he went straight to the grocery store that sold food and daily necessities.
He had just walked a hundred meters when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man in front of him who looked like a farmer selling a long sword with a strange appearance.
"Sell the sword, sell the sword!" cried the farmer from time to time.
However, no one bought his sword at all, and many people just took a few glances before moving forward.
"How much does this sword sell for?" Zhao Yu stepped forward and asked.
"Little Daoyou, this sword is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in our family, when I was a child, I heard my great-grandfather say that this is a flying sword, I would never sell it, but a few days ago there was a snow disaster, a family of more than a dozen people, about to starve, I had to endure the pain of cutting love sorry for the ancestors. The farmer kept explaining.
Zhao Yu looked at the farmer's honest appearance, and said secretly in his heart: "Nine times out of ten, what he said is true. ā
So he hurriedly said, "You tell me a price, how much will this sword cost to sell?"
"Twenty thousand knife coins!" the farmer looked Zhao Yu up and down for a moment, and then said.
"Can you be cheaper, I only have a silver ticket of 16,000 knife coins!" Zhao Yu hurriedly said softly.
"Alright, it's sixteen thousand dollars!" the farmer thought for a moment, and immediately changed his words.
The farmer had been selling here for three days, and almost no one paid any attention to him, except for a few local shop owners who wanted to buy his sword, but their bid was no more than ten thousand dollars, so he considered it for a moment and agreed.
Zhao Yu hurriedly took out the silver ticket and handed it to the farmer, then picked up the sword and left.
Fearing that the farmer would repent, he wrapped his sword in a rag and galloped out of town.
Halfway through, Zhao Yu suddenly thought that he had forgotten to buy food, although he only had hundreds of knife coins on his body, but there were still more than a dozen lower-grade spirit enhancement pills.
"Forget it, I can still hunt, and I have a bow and dozens of arrows in the stone house. Zhao Yu thought for a while and decided not to go back to the town to buy food.
In the evening, Zhao Yu returned to the "Aoki" temple in time, he counted the surplus food, and found that he and the six spirit monkeys could only eat for two days.
"Early tomorrow morning, I'll go hunting in the nearby mountains. Zhao Yu thought for a while and made a decision.
That night, he took the ancient sword out of the rags.
The ancient sword was three feet long, four fingers wide, and the material seemed to be bronze, and under the light of the fire, it slightly emitted a cyan light.
Zhao Yu's right hand gently stroked the sword body, his eyes kept scanning the carvings on the sword body, there were five of them, only the size of beans, and the surface was very blurry and difficult to see.
Under the flickering firelight, it took him half an hour before he realized that the five carvings seemed to be an ancient talisman.
But later Zhao Yu found that they seemed to be the prototypes of the five characters of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in ancient times, especially the ancient word "fire", which danced like a fire spirit under the long-term illumination of the firelight.
"If I cover this ancient word 'fire' with the palm of my hand, and then cast the fire lotus technique, maybe a strange sight will happen. Suddenly, Zhao Yu's mind had a whim.
After a while, he completely covered the ancient word "fire" with his right palm, and then cast the fire lotus technique.
About half a sound later, a fire lotus slowly condensed out of Zhao Yu's palm, but its color turned out to be cyan.
The heat emitted by this cyan fire lotus is far stronger than the previous pale red fire lotus.
After only three breaths, the heat emitted by it actually tripled the temperature in the entire stone house.
At this moment, Zhao Yu seemed to feel that the ancient word "fire" under his palm seemed to be a volcano.
If he continues to cast the Fire Lotus Technique, perhaps this ancient "fire" character may become a sun.
Zhao Yu's heart was extremely shocked, but his reaction was also fast, he immediately stopped casting the Fire Lotus Technique, and then it took more than three hours for the cyan Fire Lotus to gradually extinguish.
This made the stone house seem to be under the scorching sun of midsummer, and the heat was unbearable, and Zhao Yu kept the stone door open, so that the temperature in the house gradually dropped.
The six spirit monkeys were terrified, they kept "squeaking", and they stayed near the door of the stone house for most of the night, where the temperature was neither hot nor cold.
