Shopkeeper Wu frowned secretly, but asked with a smile: "What's the matter, little brother? Do you think the price I gave is not appropriate? Why don't I add some more? Six hundred taels!" He pretended to be heartbroken and said: "This is already a fair price, there is no such a good price in other stores, think about it! Come, add some tea to the two young heroes!"

Ling Yi stopped the shopping guide who stepped forward to add water, and said, "The shopkeeper is not kind, aren't you bullying children?"

Shopkeeper Wu smiled awkwardly, it seems that this kid saw his methods: first the ecstasy array, then flattery, and finally bargaining. explained with a smile: "Little brother, don't be angry, I'm not a small business, just keep the price down reasonably!"

Ling Yi didn't listen to his explanation, and said: "Don't fool people, the shopkeeper is bartering today, you can give me five taels of sand gold and other materials at the market price!

After speaking, Ling Yi and Sun Ze got up and were about to go out, Shopkeeper Wu couldn't sit still now, Sha Jin and Yu in such good condition couldn't be found, even if they did, others might not necessarily sell it!

hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ling Yi, and said with a face full of grievances: "Little brother, we can talk about the price, don't be busy, this tea hasn't been drunk yet, let's open it again." ”

Seeing the change in the situation, the shopping guide quickly added water to Ling Yi and Sun Ze's teacups.

Ling Yi and the others were pulled back to their seats by the shopkeeper and said to Ling Yi: "I said little brother, you are the most shrewd student I have ever seen, the old man admires it, so exchange the materials according to your proposal, but I have a request." ”

Ling Yi did not agree directly, but asked the shopkeeper to say what he wanted.

The shopkeeper was not ambiguous, and said directly: "I just want to reach a verbal agreement with the little brother, I think you are also a blacksmith, right?"

Ling Yi nodded and said, "That's right, I'm just starting out as a blacksmith!"

Shopkeeper Wu continued: "In the future, if the little brother has any materials, the same price will give priority to my military world, and if you want to sell weapons, the same price will also give priority to my military world, is it okay?"

After hearing this, Ling Yi felt that this was not an impudent request, but he also had questions: "Shopkeeper Wu, how can you be sure that I will have good materials in the future and be able to make good weapons in the future?

Shopkeeper Wu said with a smile: "I have also been a refiner for many years, so I can naturally see that you have good blacksmith skills, not to mention how far you can go on the road of blacksmithing, just from the age and cultivation of your two brothers, I am willing to get acquainted with young talents like you." Speaking of repentance, the old man still has this vision!"

Confidently bearded, Shopkeeper Wu took out the recent material price list and handed it to Ling Yi: "Little brother, take a look, this is the latest material price, you can go outside to compare and compare!"

Ling Yi put down the teacup, took the price list, and found Sha Jin, every two thousand taels, which was not much different from his own psychological price, nodded, and returned the price to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper carried the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "What materials are the little brothers going to change?"

Ling Yi thought for a while, took a piece of white paper, wrote all the materials he needed, and indicated the amount of materials such as immersion silver, steel, and bronze, and then handed it to the display case: "Please take a look at the shopkeeper, these materials are not over the budget, right?"

Shopkeeper Wu counted and was taken aback: "Little brother, it seems that you are going to forge mortal weapons, right? These weights are enough to forge a lot of weapons." I would venture to ask, which family are you a child of? Is this the material that the family needs?"

Ling Yi shook his head and explained, "This is the amount I use alone!"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Wu strengthened his intention to cooperate with Ling Yi for a long time: "Will the little brother take it away by himself, or will we send it to Haoran Academy?"

Ling Yi drank tea and replied, "I can't forget you, this old man who fooled children! You have people prepare the materials, and I will take them away in a while!"

Shopkeeper Wu blushed instantly, and hurriedly relieved the embarrassment with his beard, and the shopping guide on the side sneered! In order to win over Ling Yi, the old man asked: "Little brother, what metal do you need, as long as I can give you one hundred taels of gold materials within the scope of my authority, it will be regarded as a deposit and a meeting gift for our cooperation!"

Ling Yi wanted to refuse, but Sun Ze pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered: "Don't be in vain, take it first!"

So, Ling Yi thought for a while, and then remembered that he had forgotten to purchase pig iron this time, and asked the shopkeeper Wu: "How do you sell pig iron? Bring me a hundred taels of gold pig iron! It just so happens that pig iron is in urgent need of training skills now, if you don't remind me, I would have forgotten that there is such a thing!"

Shopkeeper Wu was confused and asked, "Little brother, are you sure you want pig iron and nothing else?"

Ling Yi nodded affirmatively: "That's right, you need pig iron!"

Shopkeeper Wu explained: "Pig iron is five taels of silver a catty, and one hundred taels of gold can buy two thousand catties of pig iron, why do you want so much pig iron?"

Ling Yi laughed: "You said you were going to give it, why do you still have so many words? I plan to forge the steel myself, and then come back and sell it to you, do you accept it?"

Shopkeeper Wu replied: "Accept it, why don't you accept it?"

In the end, Ling Yi and Sun Ze took away other materials with the ring, in order not to make Old Man Wu suspicious, Ling Yi did not take away the pig iron, but asked the old man to send it to the Academy of Literature.

Bidding farewell to the shopkeeper Wu, seeing that it was still early, Sun Ze led Ling Yi to the Wu Pavilion again, this was not the first time Ling Yi had come to the Wu Pavilion, so naturally he was not very curious.

Sun Ze directly went to the free trading market on the second floor, there are all kinds of strange things, Sun Ze is going to buy a detailed map of the continent, he and Hao Jun will not run too far in the past, most of the time is in the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, first, the grade is young, and second, the strength is low.

Now that he has the strength, he wants to take a look in the distance, he has long longed for the arrival of this day, this time he will buy a map to study and study.

The two kept asking and searching in the crowd stall, and finally found a more comprehensive and detailed map on a middle-aged warrior stall, bargaining left and right, and the last gold coin was sold.

As the two were about to turn to leave, Ling Yi was caught by an item on the floor.

It was a broken stone, as if knocked down from a whole stone tablet, covered in moss and stains.

Ling Yi bent down, picked up the stone, looked at it carefully for a while, and asked the boss, "This uncle, how can this stone be sold?"

The middle-aged man looked at the stone in Ling Yi's hand, he himself forgot that there was such a stone, recalled for a while and said: "Little brother, this is not an ordinary stone, this is a hundred cast stones, it is ranked first on the material price list, if you want it, you can take it at a sincere price of one thousand taels of gold!"

Ling Yi shook his head, this middle-aged man deceived him and didn't understand, a hundred cast stones are valuable, but they have to be a whole piece to be valuable, and the broken ones are not worth a whole thing.

Facing the middle-aged man, Ling Yi replied: "Uncle, you also know that this is a hundred cast stones, then you should also know that the broken hundred cast stones are worthless, if you lower the price a little, maybe I will pick it up and leave!"

The middle-aged man saw that Ling Yi knew the goods and said, "Eight hundred taels, it can't be less!"

Ling Yi put down the stone, clapped his hands, and said to Sun Ze: "This boss is not kind, let's go!"

Seeing Ling Yi turn around, the middle-aged man panicked, hurriedly stopped the two, and said with a smile: "We have something to discuss, you should pay back, I'll listen to it too!"

Ling Yi said: "Three hundred taels, don't say a word!"

As soon as the middle-aged man summed it up, it was originally something he picked up, and he didn't lose money when he sold it for three hundred taels after selling it, so he quickly nodded and agreed.

He agreed quickly, but Ling Yi was worried, he only had fifty or sixty taels of gold on him, and when he asked Sun Ze, he made up more than one hundred taels, and there was still more than one hundred taels missing.

Stamping his feet, Ling Yi took out the long knife he used from the ring, handed it to the middle-aged man's hand, and said: "Uncle, I didn't bring enough money, this mortal weapon is also worth five hundred taels of gold, otherwise, I will exchange the weapon with you, do you think it? I will suffer a loss, and I won't say anything!"

The middle-aged man can see it, this must be a loser of some family, it's okay to come out and look for pleasure, go home and let his parents find pleasure!

The middle-aged man looked happy, accepted the long knife, and threw the stone to Ling Yi.

The onlookers around also pointed at Ling Yi, who was nothing more than some kind of "loser"! Ling Yi naturally ignored it and asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, can you tell me where you found this stone?"

The middle-aged man recalled for a while and said, "I can't remember the specific location for too long, but I should have picked it up near the Jingzhou Rift Valley!"

After getting the answer, Ling Yi pulled Sun Ze and ran out of the martial pavilion, walking on the street as if thinking about something.

Sun Ze stopped Ling Yi, poked his head with his hand, and said, "You are stupid, I gave you so many eyes, so why can't you see it? Such a broken stone is worth exchanging for a mortal weapon?"

Ling Yi saw Sun Ze's gesture just now, but he had to buy this stone, because he saw a familiar symbol on the stone - a feather.

Originally, the feather pattern was not strange, but he still had a key engraved with a feather pattern in his hand, and of course he wanted to figure out what it was, so he exchanged it with a mortal weapon.

Ling Yi knew that the road was not the place to talk, and said to Sun Ze: "Big brother, this is going back to discuss, it's getting dark, let's go quickly!"

The two returned the same way, and after leaving the city, Ling Yi always felt a pair of eyes staring at him behind him, turned his head to look, and found no abnormality.

Sun Ze looked ahead, continued to walk briskly, and whispered to Ling Yi: "Don't look back, we should be being targeted, speed up our pace and see if we can get rid of them." ”

Ling Yi also quickened his pace, kept up with Sun Ze, and hurriedly ran towards Haoran Academy.

After running for more than a mile, the people behind him couldn't help but speed up, and they were about to catch up with the two.

Ling Yi didn't know who was following them, and after thinking about it for a while, there were only two possibilities: one was to show his wealth in Cloud City today and was remembered by someone with a heart, and the other was someone from the Simon family.

Ling Yi asked Sun Ze as he ran: "Big brother, who do you say will follow us?"

Sun Ze replied: "Simon family!"

Ling Yi wondered, why was Sun Ze so sure that he was from the Ximen family?
