Chapter 1221: Into the City (Ask for Subscription!) )
Originally, according to Xu Yinglong's previous plan, after finding this Heavenly Sword Saint Sect, he would directly break in, and the bigger the movement, the better, the purpose was to lure out the drunkard or the master here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But now I see that the buildings below are not closed, it looks like an open city, and it is very lively with people coming and going, so Xu Yinglong thought about it and decided to quietly drip into the village and shoot non-really.
So he quietly lowered the clouds, and then swaggered in the direction of the gatehouse.
There were monks standing guard in front of the city gate building, Xu Yinglong counted it carefully, and found that there were eighteen people, and it seemed that it was not absolutely safe here, otherwise so many people would not have been sent to stand guard.
Xu Yinglong thought that he would be stopped, but he didn't come forward to ask until he entered the city.
Entering the city, Xu Yinglong found that there was not much difference between this place and the city outside, but there didn't seem to be any ordinary shops here, and the shops on the street were all related to cultivation, such as the Dan Pavilion for alchemy, and the vessel workshop for refining, as well as shops that purchased herbs and various cultivation resources, but there was not a single place like a restaurant or hotel.
It can be seen that this is a relatively closed place, every family has its own residence, and no outsiders come in, plus the cultivators do not have much requirements for food, and even if they do not eat or drink for twenty days a month, they will not starve to death, so it is understandable that there are no such service-oriented industries.
Xu Yinglong didn't care, the purpose of his coming here was not to live for a long time, but to find people, so he casually walked into a shop, intending to ask the owner about the situation here.
This is a workshop dedicated to refining blades for people, and the owner is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties.
Seeing Xu Yinglong come in, the man said while striking iron: "Little brother, whether to buy weapons or customize weapons, the shop can make weapons of all levels below the best mortal soldiers, and you can also refine low-grade magic weapons, but the cost is higher!" ”
Xu Yinglong didn't answer, and walked to a large wooden cabinet on the east side against the wall, on which there were several finished weapons.
Xu Yinglong picked up a thick-backed mountain machete at random, and gently weighed the following, and suddenly Xu Yinglong had an understanding of the level of this weapon in his heart, this is a thick-backed mountain knife with iron and iron, seven feet five inches long, weighing 220 pounds, and the whole body is made of 100 refined steel, and a little dark iron is added to increase the sharpness, which can be regarded as a good weapon among ordinary mortal soldiers.
"Little brother, our Divine Iron Workshop is one of the most famous refining workshops in this Holy Sect, although it can't be compared with those refiners in the inner courtyard of the Holy Sect, but in terms of these small workshops outside, our Divine Iron Workshop is definitely the best. You look at the Dark Iron Thick Back Mountain Knife, weighing 220 catties, and it can open the Golden Cracking Stone, and it is absolutely difficult for ordinary demon beasts to withstand a heavy blow, so it is absolutely right to choose our Shentiefang! ”
As he spoke, the big man put a piece of iron ingot in his hand into the cold water basin on the side with pliers, and a puff of white smoke suddenly came out.
Xu Yinglong smiled and said: "The knife is a good knife, but there is a little less dark iron in it, and the 220-pound thick-backed machete is only mixed with one or two dollars of dark iron, so it is more appropriate for this knife to be called an iron knife." ”
"Little brother, connoisseur! That's right, the Stygian Iron Knife is just a gimmick, and the real Stygian Iron Knife can be bought here. You must know that our Heavenly Sword Saint Sect produces only thirty Dark Iron Swords every year, and those elite disciples in the inner courtyard are not enough, so they may flow out of the outer courtyard. It is already a work of conscience that the dark iron knives made by these small workshops outside can be mixed with a little dark iron, and many workshops also sell dark iron knives on the surface, but there is no dark iron in them. Dahan explained.
"Hehe, you're interesting, this should be considered a trade secret, you just poured beans into a bamboo tube and told me everything, aren't you afraid that I will go out and spread it to you in private?" Xu Yinglong said with a smile.
"What's there to be afraid of, these things are all open secrets, and those who came here to buy the Stygian Iron Knife know these things themselves. You think, the real pure Stygian Iron Sword is a low-grade magic weapon, and if it is from the hands of a master, the level may even reach the level of a high-grade magic weapon. But if you look at the dark iron knives of our small workshops, most of them can only reach the best mortal soldiers, and even the best mortal soldiers can't reach them. ”
Then Dahan continued: "The most important thing is the price gap, the price of the real pure immortal iron knife requires at least 30,000 spirit stones, and it is still priceless. But look at our Dark Iron Knife, the asking price is only 20 spirit stones, can this be a thing? ”
"Well, the price of a penny is a penny, and it is not too much of a loss to be able to buy such a blade with twenty spirit stones." Xu Yinglong said with a smile.
"Of course it's not a loss, at least thirty spirit stones are needed in other places, or even more!"
"Oh, then why do you only need twenty spirit stones here?" Xu Yinglong asked curiously.
"Because I'm only trading here, not selling?" Dahan said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
"Even what I have here, you can only exchange it for materials, you can use the fur and inner pill of demon beasts, or you can use precious ores and other metals, in short, as long as it is a treasure of heaven and earth." Dahan said again.
"I see, I'm really sorry, I just came in, so I don't have these things on me!" Xu Yinglong said with a little regret.
Dahan didn't get angry, but smiled and said: "It's okay, not having it now doesn't mean not having it in the future, as long as you remember my little shop, it's not too late to come back with good materials in the future." ”
Xu Yinglong nodded and said, "That's for sure, by the way, I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with this place, can you tell me about the situation here?" ”
Dahan threw the iron ingot in his hand into the bucket on the side, then grabbed a rag and wiped the sweat on his head, then walked to the side of the sink to wash his hands and said, "You have found the right person, my ancestors have lived here for nine generations, and no one knows the situation of the Holy Sect better than me!" ”
As he spoke, the big man wiped his hands clean, then pointed to the two solid wood bumps in the middle of the store and said, "Look at the little brother's dress, you know that he is a newcomer, sit down!" ”
The two of them sat down one by one, and then Xu Yinglong asked: "I am a trialist outside, and then I came here inexplicably, so I know very little, and I don't even know the origin of this Heavenly Sword Saint Sect, can you solve my doubts?" ”
"It is impossible to verify when the Heavenly Sword Saint Sect appeared, according to the monks of the older generation, this was originally a trial secret realm in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land outside, and it will be opened once every hundred years, and every time it is opened, thousands of young heroes will enter here for trial. But for some reason, there will always be some disciples who can't go out until the trial passage closes, and then they are left here. ”
Then Dahan continued: "Then there was the Heavenly Sword Holy Sect, and the disciples who didn't have time to leave every time they tried would be brought here, so as not to be eaten by the demon beasts outside. Slowly the Holy Sect grew in size until today. ”
"So, this is a refuge for those of us who don't have time to leave?"
"Of course, don't look at the aura here, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, but in fact it is very dangerous. Not to mention those high-level demon beasts that appear from time to time, there will be a beast tide every once in a while, well, do you know the beast tide? ”
"Demon Beast Tide?" Xu Yinglong asked rhetorically.
"Yes, it's the monster tide, it seems that you know, but you can never imagine how terrifying the beast tide here is. Once the beast tide rises, millions of demon beasts rush out from the fifth layer, and then wreak havoc on everything here, including many seventh-order, eighth-order, and even ninth-order super demon beasts, that scene is really terrifying! Dahan said with palpitations.
"And ninth-order demon beasts?" Xu Yinglong asked with a little surprise.
It's no wonder that Xu Yinglong was surprised, this ninth-order demon beast is equivalent to a human race fairy realm powerhouse, due to the different body structures, the ninth-order demon beast is even more powerful than the human race fairy realm powerhouse.
The most important thing is that the last time Xu Yinglong entered the trial here, he also encountered a beast tide, but at that time, the highest level seemed to be only some fourth-order and fifth-order demon beasts, and even the sixth-order were rare, so he didn't expect that there would be ninth-order demon beasts.
