Chapter 5 Barter
Therefore, knowing from his memory that the nearest mine in the vicinity could mine cold iron, Yi Tian's mind turned and began to plan, intending to obtain it at all costs.
Of course, for him, the price to pay is also very small.
After all, Yi Tian's cultivation in his previous life was difficult to guess, and he had already become a true immortal, even if he casually took out some martial arts in exchange, it was completely enough to buy the entire mine.
However, he would not do this, after all, he had only woken up for a long time now, and even if he had removed the poison of the soul ointment in himself, he still didn't have much confidence in protecting himself.
The Chen family said that they were afraid that the owner behind the cold iron mine would be greedy for themselves.
If he really came up with enough martial arts to buy the entire mine in exchange, there must be a good chance that the person behind the mine would take action against him and snatch the treasure.
Considering various factors, Yi Tian finally decided to exchange a body method called 'Light Wind Step'.
The grade of this body method is not high, at best, it can be regarded as a low-level body method, but although the grade is low, it is easy to exchange it for cold iron.
You must know that although the cold iron is rare and expensive, if you want to talk about the degree of attention, the Hanmen family in Qingyang Town will still think that the body martial arts are more important.
After all, the foundation of what the Hanmen family wants to gain a foothold in is to master a low-level martial art.
Once a martial art is used, it is definitely not a brute force that can compete with it.
It's like two cultivators who are both in the same body shaping realm fighting, the strength of both sides is equal, but because the other party uses martial arts, then there is no doubt that the battle situation will be one-sided, and cultivators without martial arts will be beaten.
Martial arts and body techniques can be regarded as necessities to measure strength.
Looking at the entire Qingyang Town, there are only two Hanmen who have first-class low-level martial arts, namely the Chen family behind the Tianxiang Chamber of Commerce and the Li family behind the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.
As for the Great Day Chamber of Commerce, although Zhou Yunlu, who is the president, also has a low-level martial art, she has not established a Hanmen family in Qingyang Town.
As far as she is concerned, as long as she runs the Great Ri Chamber of Commerce well, it doesn't matter to her whether Jin is promoted to the Hanmen family or not.
"When I meet the temporary person in charge of the mine, I will use a little bit of light wind to show one or two, and if I exchange it, I should still be able to exchange it for several carts of cold iron rough stones. ”
At this moment, Yi Tian's mind turned and he made a conservative estimate, but he was still not sure.
The most wasteful body method in my mind is this 'light wind step', which is just a low-level body method.
But obviously, from what I heard in the past, in the entire Qingyang Town, a low-level martial art can be regarded as a high-grade cultivation resource, and there are only three of them.
"When the time comes, they will show the speed of 50% of their body, which should not make them feel too amazing. ”
In the end, Yi Tian decided to press down a part and only show half the speed of the 'light wind step'.
was thinking about it, but at the end of that gaze, in the stream, a black spot suddenly appeared, and as it approached, Yi Tianming's eyes looked at it.
The scene in front of me was the scene of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy naked, humming a small tune in the stream, washing his body.
"In the wilderness, where did the children come from. ”
Yi Tian didn't choose to stop, but continued to hurry, without squinting, and getting closer and closer to the young man.
Originally, the young man who was humming a cheerful song in the stream and cleaning his body with his bare butt turned his back to Yi Tian and didn't notice it.
But suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, and his movements froze.
As if sensing something, the young man slowly tilted his head and used his spare light to observe the shore behind him.
Wow!
The young man turned around suddenly, causing a splash, and his slightly immature face immediately gave birth to a look of vigilance.
And, in the process, he covered his second brother with one hand, and covered his chest with the other.
When Yi Tian approached, the expression on the young man's face eased somewhat, from the initial vigilance to peace, and gradually, as his gaze swept over Yi Tian, his eyes couldn't help but appear sympathetic.
At this moment, Yi Tian, because he went out in a hurry in the Great Day Chamber of Commerce before, just took a thin piece of clothing and put it on his body, so there is no doubt that he is a teenager from an ordinary family.
And because of the poisonous gas infestation of the soul ointment, the face is pale all the year round, the cheeks are thin, even if it is now detoxified, it is also slightly pale, at first glance, it is the kind of long-term malnourished people, maybe people will be mistaken for a difficult family, there is a meal without a meal.
Apparently, the boy in the brook thought so.
He guessed that perhaps the young man in front of him was wandering for some reason, living the same miserable life as himself, so his eyes instinctively showed sympathy and wanted to help.
"Little brother, you haven't eaten for a long time, right?"
The young man was about eleven or twelve years old, and said to Yi Tian in a childish voice.
When Yi Tian heard this, he stopped in place and looked sideways.
But it's true that he hasn't eaten anything since he woke up, and his stomach is a little empty.
"Do you have something to eat?"
Yi Tian's words were calm.
The boy swooped up from the stream, nimble like a small loach.
After he came up, he was still holding his chest, and after turning around to wipe his body and change his clothes, he took out a carry-on bag from the big tree next to him.
The burden didn't look very big, and there was a sound of collision in it when it was moved, but Yi Tian was very keen, and he immediately felt the heaviness of the burden.
The young man reached into his carry-on baggage, and when he stretched it out, there were already two more big white-flour steamed buns and two pieces of broken silver in his hand.
"Little brother, take it, go ten miles in that direction, there is a place called Qingyang Town, you go there and buy some food, see if you can find a miscellaneous shop, I think they should accept you." ”
After handing out the two white-flour steamed buns and two pieces of broken silver in his hand, the young man pointed to the direction of Qingyang Town again, signaling that Yi Tian could go there to make a living.
After taking the cold steamed bun, Yi Tian opened his mouth and bit it, somehow, he seemed to feel that the steamed bun he ate was actually warm with a hint of warmth.
He didn't understand, whether it was the temperature in the hands of the kid in front of him, or something else, in short, he really ate these two steamed buns very deliciously.
As for the two pieces of broken silver, Yi Tian didn't accept it, and after a gobble-up meal, he gave a long burp very scably, and then his eyes fell on the child in front of him who was four or five years younger than himself.
"Well, the steamed buns are good, silver, you can keep them for yourself. ”
After saying that, Yi Tian planned to leave, intending to go to the cold iron mine upstream.
However, this made the young man a little confused, did he think that I gave less broken silver? Or did he not want others to give charity at all, and he cared about his face?
As soon as he thought of this, the young man hurriedly stood in front of Yi Tian, who was trying to leave.
"Little brother, you better take it, listen to me, go to Qingyang Town to find a way to live, otherwise when will you be a head if you go on like this?"
The young man's eyes showed worry, and he was really anxious about the future of the person in front of him, and he inexplicably had a feeling of hating iron but not steel.
This kind of exhortation was heard in Yi Tian's ears, but it made the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"This child is not bad, but it is a pity that he was displaced at a young age. ”
Yi Tian thought so in his heart, but on the surface, he just said 'um', and he didn't plan to stay too long.
He set off from Qingyang Town today, and he is almost at his destination, so if he wants to let himself go back now, what kind of trouble is this?
"Thank you for the steamed buns. ”
Facing this child who was younger than himself, but had an exceptionally kind heart, Yi Tian smiled, and immediately quickened his pace and rushed to the place where the cold iron mine was located.
At this moment, the young man hurriedly spoke.
"Wait, I have something here, if you take it to the Qingyang Town in front of you and sell it, it should be enough to last for a whole month. ”
"But you have to promise me that after you sell your things, don't squander them without restraint, but save them up, and then find a way to make a living. ”
As he said these words, the young man's eyes were also hesitant, and his immature face was full of embarrassment, but in the end, he moved, put his hand into his baggage, and when he stretched it out again, there was already something more in his hand.
"Cold Iron Rough Stone!"
With just one glance, Yi Tian's gaze was attracted to the past, and at the same time, he almost exclaimed.
What the hell is going on? This kind of thing can be bumped into by yourself, it's just god!
"No wonder it looks like this kid is wrapped heavily, it turns out that there is cold iron. ”
Yi Tian's smile became brighter, and his eyes when he stared at the boy in front of him who was four or five years younger than himself seemed to be glowing with a strong essence.
"Are you going to sell it to me?"
He smiled as he spoke.
When the young man heard this, he blinked his big eyes.
"No, this piece of cold iron will be given to you, little brother, and it can be exchanged for a lot of silver. ”
He said this, his eyes clear and pure.
Looking at the cyan cold iron that was about the size of an adult's fist, the more Yi Tian looked at it, the more he felt that the young man in front of him was pleasing to the eye, and even, he had some kind of plan brewing.
"I can exchange it with you for something of equal value, and if you still have cold iron, you can take it out. ”
Yi Tian smiled and spoke.
"Little brother, I don't have much cold iron on my body, there are four or five pieces left, I keep it for use, if you really need it, I'll give you another piece." ”
When he spoke, the young man's pure eyes showed a worried color, but when he noticed Yi Tian's emaciated face and thin black clothes, he finally gritted his teeth and promised a piece of cold iron.
He handed out the cold iron again, about the size of an adult's fist.
In Yi Tian's eyes, the heavy cold iron in his hands was like a treasure, glowing with a little coldness, revealing a noble color.
Now, there is finally a cornerstone, and the self-created way of runes is about to present a new chapter!
"In this way, I don't need to go to that cold iron mine, and I can save a lot of trouble. ”
Just as the young man found that Yi Tian's eyes were happy, rubbing the two pieces of cold iron in his hand back and forth, Yi Tian took his eyes away from the cold iron and turned to look at himself.
This couldn't help but make him slightly stunned.
"Little brother, the rest of me is really useful...... Inconvenient for you. ”
Just when he thought that the person in front of him wanted to continue to ask for it, Yi Tian was upright, and then suddenly spoke out and recited an inexplicable method.
Its voice was like Huang Zhong Da Lu, vibrating in the young man's heart, roaring everywhere, as if he wanted to imprint all the magic tips chanted in the depths of his mind at this moment.
Gradually, the boy naturally closed his eyes.
When Yi Tian stopped his voice and more than ten breaths had passed, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, and the look in his big eyes was full of shock!
"These two pieces of cold iron can be regarded as what I exchanged with you with this body method, so let's practice well. ”
Throwing away the two cold iron rough stones in his hand, Yi Tian had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, then turned around and left, and embarked on the return journey.
And the young man behind him, in his shocked eyes, there was a little entanglement, but more than that, it was the magic trick like Huang Zhong Da Lu in Fang Cai's mind, which echoed for a long time, and it was completely imprinted in his heart.
