Chapter 40: Xuanling Wood

On the bustling streets, people are interspersed with movements, and the cries of selling are endless, making everything seem lively.

Song Yi followed Xu Pang on the street, he looked at both sides of the road from time to time, those dazzling goods were strange, there were all kinds of food for sale, and there were also many strange things such as the bones of various animals, listening to the shouting Song Yi knew that these bones were from the fierce spirits in the mountains and forests, and the flesh on their bodies was gnawed by other fierce spirits after they died** Light, the last remaining bones were picked up, if they were soaked in water after exposure, they could make people's bodies be tempered to a certain extent, especially for people in the stage of refining bones in the Gong body, the effect was better.

Soon Song Yi and the three of them arrived at the door of a timber mill in the bazaar, this timber mill was much larger than Xu Pang's blacksmith shop, Song Yi estimated that it was hundreds of square meters, divided into two floors, and before Song Yi entered Song Yi smelled a woody smell.

"This is it. Xu Pang took Song Yi and Qiao Yun into the timber mill.

And after Song Yi walked into it, he walked to the neatly arranged wood in the store with curiosity, his eyes swept between these woods, these woods are diverse, many of them are Song Yi has never seen, some are directly a tree trunk flattened and stood in the corner of the wall, some are made into a series of wooden planks stacked together, what is more peculiar is that some of the wood is shaped like a stone, in a circular state, Song Yi touched it with his hand again, knocked it with his fingers, and wanted to judge the difference between these woods and the earth through feeling。

"It's very fragrant, what kind of wood is this?" Song Yi quickly noticed a strange wood, this wood exuded an alluring fragrance, but Song Yi was sure that it was not sandalwood, but a new wood that he had never seen.

"This is passion wood, one of the most fragrant woods, generally rich people will use this wood to soak in water to wash their bodies, you are the young master of Minghao Hall, you haven't used it, right?" Xu Pang asked as he explained.

"Uh... I don't think I've used it before. Song Yi replied, and he pointed to another kind of black wood next to him and asked what kind of wood it was.

"This is loose scale wood, which has a strong effect of dissolving dirt, and can generally be ground into powder and sprinkled on some dirt that is difficult to remove, such as when the clothes are stained with oil and water that is difficult to wash, you can sprinkle some loose scale wood, add a little water, soak it and then wash it, it can be easily washed. Xu Pang explained again, and he looked at Qiao Yun on the side: "She should often come into contact with loose dirt wood." ”

"Well, there are a lot of ground powder in the Song family, and I use them when I wash clothes and cooperate with some other things. Qiao Yun nodded.

"In this case, it is almost a combination of laundry detergent and oxalic acid?" Song Yi judged after hearing it.

"Laundry detergent?oxalic acid?What is that?" Xu Pang was stunned when he heard these two unfamiliar new terms spoken by Song Yi.

"Uh... No, I mean you know a lot about the wood and stuff like that. Song Yi explained awkwardly.

Next, Song Yi pointed to several kinds of wood that he had never seen and asked Xu Pang, who carefully told them one by one, which made Song Yi feel that Xu Pang was simply the owner of this timber mill and knew everything.

"Do you want to buy wood?"

Just when Song Yi and Xu Pang asked and answered, a voice suddenly came from the timber workshop, and the three of them turned around to take a look, only to see that at the staircase, an old man walked down unhurriedly, the old man was dressed in a black robe, and his hands were behind him, and the kind of breath on his body was like the wood in the store, giving people a feeling of eternal vicissitudes.

The old man is obviously the owner of this timber mill, after he walked down from the upper floor, Song Yi and the three of them also walked up, and when the former walked in front of Song Yi and the three, the old man's eyes were directly on Song Yi's body, and with his experienced experience, he immediately judged Song Yi's identity from his dress.

"Are you from the Song family?" the old man asked.

Hearing this, Song Yi also replied politely: "The younger generation is Song Yi of Minghaotang, and his father Song Qing." ”

Song Yi could see that this old man had an unusual temperament, he didn't immediately become respectful when he saw the people of the Song family like others, and he didn't show disdain, but kept calm, obviously not caring about the identity of the buyer, this is a typical businessman's temperament, in his eyes there are only buyers and sellers.

"Song Qing's son, it's okay, it's more polite than the little guy who came last time. The old man nodded slightly, and then asked directly: "I don't know what kind of wood Young Master Song Yi wants to buy when he comes here?" My shop is not big, there are only more than 30 kinds of firewood in total, and if the amount is large, I can't take it out. ”

In fact, the old man is very strange, generally the people who patronize his timber mill are some civilians, even if the people of the three major families come, they are all ordinary clansmen, because the three major families really want to purchase wood, first of all, the amount will be very large, so they will generally go directly to the city to buy, and the young master of the Song family came to him this time, what is it to buy?

"If you have a quantity, you don't need to be big, just enough. Song Yi said to the old man, "I heard that you have Xuanling Wood here? I want to buy this." ”

"You want to buy Xuanling Wood?" The old man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the wood that Song Yi wanted to buy was actually Xuanling Wood, the price of Xuanling Wood was extremely expensive, and the cost was not low, and he did have a piece of Xuanling Wood here, but in fact, his piece of Xuanling Wood has been in stock for four or five years now, and it has not been able to be sold, there is only one reason, it is too small, and it is not enough to make anything, so that the old man has been worrying about whether this piece of wood cannot be sold.

Now, Song Yi suddenly said that he wanted to buy a piece of Xuanling Wood, and the old man who should have been happy suddenly became a little worried, and he even expected that when Song Yi saw the size of that Xuanling Wood, would this business be broken?

Song Yi nodded, and made sure to the old man that what he wanted to buy was Xuanling Wood.

"I'll show you it. Although there was little hope, the old man decided to give it a try, in short, as long as he could sell this expensive piece of broken wood, and if he left it alone, it would become moldy.

Soon, the old man took a piece of gray-black wood, this piece of wood is really not big, the shape is like a rectangular brick, but it is obviously larger than the brick, looking at the piece of wood in the old man's hand, Song Yi and Xu Pang glanced at each other, the latter nodded, sure that this is the Xuanling wood.

"Look, is this size enough?" handing the Xuanling Wood to Song Yi, the old man asked.

Song Yi also weighed it after taking it, and when he looked at it just now, he also thought that this piece of wood would be very heavy, because it looked like a stone, but as soon as he passed his hand, he found that this piece of Xuanling wood was actually very light, only five or six catties.

In order to verify whether the strength of this Xuanling wood that Xu Pang said is really very high, he specially scratched it on the wood with his fingers, and found that there were no surface traces, at least in terms of hardness, I am afraid that it is better than the iron birch, but it is not that the harder the thing, the higher the strength, the diamond is very hard, but it can be broken with an iron hammer, so Song Yi tapped it with his hand again, and listened to the echo to judge, this Xuanling wood really does not seem to be broken all at once.

"What's the matter, Young Master Song Yi suspects that my Xuanling Wood is fake?" Looking at Song Yi's actions, the old man couldn't help asking.

"It's not, I'm just curious if this thing can be cut with a knife if it is to be processed?" Song Yi asked.

"Hehe, you're right, Xuanling Wood is known for its hardness, and it really can't be cut with an ordinary knife. The old man smiled faintly, and in the next moment, I saw his palm flip, and a small knife that he didn't know where to take it out suddenly appeared on his right hand, and the old man's left hand stretched out at the same time, taking the Xuanling wood in Song Yi's hand.

Next, Song Yi and the others saw that the old man directly inserted the tip of the knife on his right hand into the Xuanling Wood, which was extremely fast, and in an instant, the tip of the knife had fallen to the surface of the Xuanling Wood, and then there was a bang, and the result appeared, which made Song Yi a little surprised.

Because the surface of the Xuanling wood that was pierced by the tip of the knife did not even leave a trace at all, it was still flat and smooth, and on the other hand, the tip of the knife had already curled at this time.

Is this the transcendent strength of the Xuanling Wood? It's incredible.

But it was this experiment of the old man that made Song Yi even more worried, how to process the Xuanling wood, which could not even leave a trace of the tip of the knife?

When Song Yi was puzzled, the old man threw away the knife in his hand again, and he took out another smaller knife between his hands, this knife is relatively slender, the blade is only one centimeter wide, and the length is fifteen centimeters, and the peculiarity is that there seems to be a looming spirit pattern on the knife body of this knife, just like the Turing and sound transmission spirit tools that Song Yi saw before, is this also...

"This is a sword-like spirit tool. The old man confirmed the conjecture in Song Yi's heart, and he continued: "Under normal circumstances, this knife is no different from an ordinary knife, but if you urge the vitality..."

After the old man urged the vitality, the knife in his hand was directly activated, and a sharp cold light appeared on the blade, and then when the old man slashed the knife carrying the vitality to the edge of the Xuanling wood, the Xuanling wood, which was originally tougher than iron, was directly cut off a thin piece of sawdust.

"With the cooperation of the Yuan Qi, the knife spirit tool can be more than ten times sharper than the ordinary knife type, or even higher, so if you want to cut the Xuan Ling Wood, you can only rely on this kind of knife spirit tool. The old man explained the function of the knife in his hand, and when Song Yi was surprised, he held the Xuanling Wood in one hand and the small knife spirit tool in the other, and said while the iron was hot: "If you want to buy this Xuanling Wood, I can calculate the price of five gold coins for you, and give you a small knife like this, which is worth two gold coins, how about it?"

Originally, the purchase price of this piece of Xuanling Wood was eight gold coins, and the original price was twelve gold coins, and if it hadn't been placed for so many years and couldn't be sold, the old man would not have lowered the price to five gold coins, and also gave a sword-like spirit tool, because he was worried that Song Yi would not buy it.

In the face of the preferential conditions offered by the old man, Song Yi naturally would not let go of the opportunity to save gold coins, in fact, the old man's worries did not exist for Song Yi, this piece of Xuanling Wood that was too small for others was basically enough in his opinion, so he directly responded: "Yes, I will ask for this Xuanling Wood." ”

"Okay, I'll go get you a piece of cloth to wrap around. ”

Seeing Song Yilang's cool response, the old man also smiled and turned around to pack the wood, and the next transaction was very smooth, Song Yi took out five gold coins and handed them to the old man in the wood workshop, thus obtaining one of the important materials for making the Rubik's Cube, and also obtained a knife-like spirit tool, isn't it beautiful?

When he left the timber mill, Song Yi handed the piece of Xuanling wood directly to Xu Pang, who showed a kind of excitement on his face, because this was definitely the most precious wood he had obtained in so many years.

"Apang, I'll take this. Qiao Yun on the side said to Xu Pang at this time, and the latter also grinned, carefully putting the Xuanling Wood in Qiao Yun's hands, like his own child.

"Let's go. ”

Song Yi and the others, who had already bought the Xuanling Wood, were naturally ready to turn back at this time, but at this moment, a fragrance wafting from not far away suddenly attracted Song Yi's attention.

"Hmm, what does this smell like? It's very fragrant. ”

This sudden fragrance suddenly stimulated the part of Song Yi's soul that belonged to foodies, and it had been a few days since he came to this world, but he had not even eaten a delicious meal, which was simply the biggest regret after crossing over.

Thinking of this, Song Yi hurriedly turned around and traced the source of the fragrance, and soon, he locked on to a restaurant not far away, and said to Xu Pang and the others who were about to return:

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner. ”
