"My lord, do you need forging materials? In the black market, now the lord has restricted the trading of wood-based forging materials, and these forging materials are still a little bit that our master has accumulated before, and now they are ready to sell them all. A forging dealer stopped Kitano and asked in a low voice.

"Can you show me the goods?"

Kitano was very curious, and he wanted to know more about the hidden secrets in this wood-based forging trade.

"Alright, my lord, come with me!"

When Kitano Ao came to a secret courtyard, a silk gold net suddenly fell from the top of his head, and Kitano Ao was caught inside.

"Hehe, it's really a black store, specializing in pit buyers from other places. Kitano thought about it, and at the same time, he transferred 100,000 top-grade spars and a top-grade spirit sword and a bottle of spirit pill into the Xuan ring in his right hand.

Kitano Ao was taken to a dark room, and several big men came in, and through special techniques, took away his Xuan Ring, and then put heavy shackles on him and threw him into a gloomy prison.

In the prison, there are still hundreds of people, all of them wearing heavy spirit-level shackles.

"Brother, you were caught by them too?" asked a large white-faced man in his cell suddenly.

"You are?"

Kitano Ao observed the situation of the white-faced big man and found that his cultivation as a senior spirit master had multiple whip marks all over his body.

"My name is Jim and I'm from Nam Ang State. ”

"My name is Duan Ao, and I'm from Nanqi Land. What do they mean, why are they arresting us?"

"Brother Duan Ao, they are from Xuyutang, and we are black workers who were captured by them. Jim said.

"Xuyu Hall, does it have anything to do with the Lifelike Lord?"

"Yes, the hall master of this Xuyu Hall is the daughter of the lifelike lord, called Xuyu, she is arrogant, insidious and cunning, she simply doesn't treat us black workers as human beings, and beats them with whips at every turn, basically every few days there are black workers who are killed by them. ”

"Then why did she arrest us vendors?"

Jim thought for a moment and said, "It's not uncommon for this vendor to go from south to north, so if they are arrested, they won't attract the attention of other forces." ”

The two were chatting when a group of guards walked in from outside the cell.

"It's all out, ready to work!"

Kitano followed behind the black workers, and at a window where tools were distributed, Kitano received an axe, a knife, and a storage bag.

After leaving the prison and walking for half an hour, I came to a valley called Qi Nan, and in this valley there were many thousands of years old Jin Nanshu and Bo Nan trees.

"Each person must pay at least 30 wood forgings, worth 300 top-grade spars, and if you can't complete the task, you will be served with a thorn whip!"

In this valley, there are many kinds of Nanmu, including Hannan, Xuannan, and Jinnan, which are also the most numerous. This "timber" is a unit of wood forging, and a piece of wood is one foot thick and three feet long. If it is two feet thick and three feet long, it is almost four materials.

In the valley, there are dark guards everywhere, they are armed with thorn whips, and they look at the black workers below. This kind of wattle whip is made of a special wood material, and it hurts very much to hit the craftsman.

"Brother Duan Ao, as a senior spirit craftsman, this harvesting of 30 materials of high-grade Jinnan is worth just 300 top-grade spars, which is also easy to find in this valley, but the top-grade Jinnan is very rare, as for Bo Nan, it seems that there are also them, but with the tools in our hands, we can't harvest at all, and we must use holy axes and holy knives. ”

Jim saw Kitano in a daze and hurriedly explained to him.

This new black worker generally can't complete the task in the first few days, either the quantity is not up to standard, or the quality is too poor.

Kitano observed the other black workers and found that they had all spread out and walked deeper into the valley.

This valley is very well defended, and there are strong prohibitions on the periphery, so it is difficult for ordinary spirit craftsmen to escape.

Kitano followed Jim into the depths of the valley.

"Brother Duan Ao, look at the Jin Nan in front, it should be the best, but this superb Jin Nan is laborious and laborious to harvest, although the value is high, it is not cost-effective. ”

"Why?" Kitano hadn't figured it out yet.

"You think, the quantity they ask to hand in is 30 stones, and the value is 300 top-grade spars, and the price of high-grade Jinnan 30 materials is just 300 top-grade spars, and the price of top-grade Jinnan 15 materials is also 300 top-grade spars. ”

"The time spent on harvesting the best Jinnan 15 timber is about the same as the time spent on harvesting the high-grade Jinnan 30 timber, and the value is enough, but the quantity is not enough. ”

"Therefore, generally the black workers here are looking for high-grade Jinnan, some of them are poor, and there are also those who harvest medium-grade Jinnan, although it is relatively easy to harvest medium-grade Jinnan, but the number is more than three times more, which is not cost-effective. ”

The two walked hundreds of feet deeper into the valley before finally stopping under a golden nan tree.

"Brother, it's okay, that's what we're aiming for today. The height of this golden nan tree has reached more than ten zhang, and the thickness is less than two feet. ”

With that, Jim picked up his axe and began to cut down. He slashed a hundred times before he could cut two inches, and at this pace, he couldn't cut it down in an hour.

"Big Brother Jim, take a break!"

Kitano Ao replaced Jim, took out the axe issued to him from the storage bag, and slashed a few axes towards the position where Jim had cut in before, although the effect was better than Jim, but this top-grade Jin Nan was too hard, and the force that rebounded back was very large.

"I wonder what effect it has to condense the rules onto the axe?"

Kitano thought about it for a while, and began to try to condense several rules such as ethereal, wind, speed, and shuttle into the axe, and finally found that the speed rules and shuttle rules worked better.

"Brother, yes, it's going to fall!"

Kitano Ao experimented with a few axes, and Jim shouted out.

"Okay, Brother Jim, you stand back first, and I'll give you a few more strokes. ”

After Beiye Ao finished speaking, he condensed the speed and shuttle rules on the axe at the same time, and as soon as the axe went down, Jin Nan's squeak began to make a sound.

"Brother Duan Ao, quickly step back, you're about to fall!"

Kitano heard Jim's shout, dragged the heavy shackles, and ran to safety.

"Brother, it's amazing!"

Jim exclaimed with heartfelt admiration.

"Hehe, it's better to be taught by the eldest brother. ”

Kitano Ao is still very grateful to Jim, although he is not worried that he will not be able to complete the task, but Jim is so enthusiastic to help him, he is still very touched.

Next, with the cooperation of the two, this high-grade Jinnan tree of more than ten zhang was cut into 32 sections, the thickest of each section has shakuhachi, and the thinner one has reached shakutachi, and the total number has reached 70 timber.

"Hehe, Brother Duan Ao, it's only been three hours, and we've completed the task. ”

Jim was very happy, this pride was simply amazing. It took him more than an hour to cut down a high-grade golden nan, and then divide it into three-foot-long round timber as required, almost more than five hours, but today it took less than half of the time.

In fact, this is the result of Kitano's proud retaining strength. His current body has reached the consummation of the spirit body, plus several powerful rules, if he uses the Sword of the Years again, it is estimated that if the sword technique continues, dozens of nearby Jin Nan trees will fall.

"Big brother, you take a rest first, and I'll go around the area. ”

Now that today's task has been completed, Kitano Ao wants to know more about the distribution of this wood-based forging.

"Brother Duan Ao, there are a lot of secret guards here, you have to be careful. Jim said worriedly.

"Don't worry. ”

After Kitano finished speaking, he took a step and walked deeper into the valley. He used his psychic sense to probe the situation around him, and when he found that no one was paying attention to him, he used the shuttle technique and disappeared into the valley.

On the edge of a hidden cliff in the Qinan Valley, Kitano Ao found a 10,000-year-old giant Nan tree.

"This is Guinan?"

It's the first time I've seen such a high-grade wood forging. This Guinan tree, one zhang thick and dozens of zhang high, can be described as a towering giant nan.

"How is this going to be harvested?"

Kitano thought for a moment, "It seems that you can only use the Sword of Time!"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the Sword of Time appeared in his hand.

"The Magnificent Streamer is instantaneous!"

This sword technique, which integrates speed, shuttle, ethereal and spiritual attack techniques, has amazing attack power, and when the dark golden sword light acts on the bottom of Wannian Guinan, this giant Nan brush is disconnected from the bottom.

"Hey, hey, receive!"

Kitano Ao didn't have the time to process this towering Guinan, so he could only deal with it when he had time.

After getting this Guinan, his spiritual sense probed around the valley, and most of the people around it were Jinnan, mixed with a few Bonan, and as for Guinan, he didn't find it again.

......

Deep in the valley, there is a palace, which is the headquarters of the Xuyu Hall.

"Xuqing, how is the output of forging materials this month?"

As the hall master of Xuyu Hall, Xu Yu has a transcendent status in the Nanxin Forest. She relied on her mother to be a lord and basically didn't take anyone seriously.

"Lord of the Hall, this month, the output of the lower grade Jin Nan is 120,000 materials, the output of the middle grade Jin Nan is 30,000 materials, the output of the upper grade Jin Nan is 9,000 materials, the output of the best Jin Nan is 1,000 materials, and the output of the lower grade Bo Nan is 200 materials, with a total value of 330,000 excellent spars. ”

This Xu Qing is the elder of Xu Yu Hall who is responsible for harvesting wood forging, and she gave a brief report to the master of Xu Yu Hall about the logging situation of the felling site in a month.

"Okay, you've done a great job. In the past two months, we have cut off the foreign trading rights of the wood forging materials of the Nan Sect, and now there is a serious shortage of wood forging materials of various forces in the gold realm, and if we persist for another month, they will all come to the hall master to double the price of the wood forging materials at that time. ”

"Yes, my subordinates have orders!"

When Xu Qing had just left the bedroom of the master of Xu Yu Hall, suddenly, a figure appeared in the dormitory.

"Who?"

The Hall Master of Xuyu shouted nervously.

"The hall master's method is very powerful, huh?"

Kitano sat down on a chair next to the table in the dormitory, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of spiritual tea.

"Do you want to drink some of the main things in Xuyutang?"

Kitano Ao poured another teacup with spiritual tea and handed it to the Xuyu Hall Master.

The master of Xuyu Hall took the teacup tremblingly and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?"

Her current cultivation is the Lord's Dacheng, which is equivalent to the Dacheng of the middle-level Saint Craftsman, but she feels that she has no chance of winning in the face of Kitano Ao.

"Duan Ao!"

"Duan Ao?"

This name is well-known in the Golden Realm, and when Xu Yu heard this name, his heart chuckled.

Before, she heard that all the high-level officials of Zhongjingbang had disappeared, so she froze the foreign trading rights of Nanjiao's wooden forgings.

Kitano took a sip of spiritual tea and said, "That's right, the hall master should know the purpose of this monarch's coming here. ”

"General, the hall master doesn't want to freeze the foreign trading rights of the Nanjiao wood forgings, it's just ......"

The master of the Xuyu Hall wanted to speak and stopped.

"Oh, tell me, what is going on?"

Kitano also wanted to hear what this Yuyu had to say.

"The main thing is that after years of mining, the stock of this Jin Nan and Bo Nan has been seriously insufficient, and our lord Lord Xuru has ordered the Nanxin Forest to recuperate for a period of time. ”

"Really, is it possible that all the wood forging materials in the Nanxin Forest have stopped now?"

"General, it's true, if you don't believe it, the concubine is willing to accompany the general to look around in the Nanxin Forest. ”

While the hall master was talking to Kitano Ao, the hall master had already issued an order to her subordinates to stop logging through the hall master's nameplate.

"Well, this monarch wants to see how you are recuperating. ”
