"Whew!" Xue Hao exhaled a long breath, after a night of cultivation, he finally broke through again, and the realm reached the second stage of martial spirit.
It has been a month since the Tianyuan Festival, and Xue Hao originally reached the peak of the martial spirit stage under the effect of Ning Yuan chalcedony, and after a month of hard cultivation, he was finally able to break through.
Without Ning Yuan Chalcedony, the cultivation is really too slow, and it seems that it is time to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest. Even if you can't get the genius treasure, you can still earn some silver.
The last time Xue Hao participated in the auction at the Holy Trade Auction House, he noticed that one of the lots was Zhu Yanguo, which was a foreign fruit that assisted in cultivation, and the effect was slightly stronger than that of the Biling Fruit. Just one Zhu Yanguo was auctioned for 50,000 taels of silver at the auction.
It's not that you can't find rare and exotic fruits in this world, but they are very rare and precious. Xue Hao's current net worth is only a hundred thousand silver, which is only enough to buy two Zhu Yanguo.
Realizing the importance of this rare and exotic fruit, Xue Hao had already greeted Director Liu of the Holy Trade Auction House, and as long as there was something like a rare and exotic fruit that was auctioned at the auction, he would send someone to inform him.
However, in the last two auctions, there were no treasures that could assist in cultivation or increase cultivation. This kind of treasure is already rare, and there are even fewer who are willing to put it up for auction.
Xue Hao returned to the dormitory and asked Su Chenguang and Da Man to prepare to set off for the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest. He packed up the clothes and other supplies he was going to carry, and looked at the bullets he had left.
In order to avoid being discovered, Xue Hao usually had few opportunities to use bullets, and almost all of them were consumed in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest. Xue Hao's fine iron bullets still had about a hundred rounds left, and seven black iron bullets. Two of them were used when killing Xiao Tian and Yun Fei, and the other one was used when dealing with a mid-tier green goblin.
More than a hundred rounds of ammunition are barely enough, but this time going to the Ten Thousand Beast Forest will definitely consume about the same. Xue Hao needed to replenish some bullet stocks.
When Xue Hao was about to go to the Beast God City to order another batch of bullets, he suddenly thought of that piece of cold iron. Icy Iron is definitely the best refining material, just right to forge it into bullets.
With the cold iron, Xue Hao came to the weapon shop in the Beast God City. It's a humble but good weapon shop in the middle of nowhere, and it's said to be a master blacksmith. Xue Hao's last batch of bullets was made here.
"Boss, I'm here again. Remember me?"
The boss thought about it for a while, and then remembered. Although it has been more than half a year since Xue Hao last came here, this Gongzi brother who used Xuaniron to build a secret weapon is a big customer, how could he forget.
"Childe, do you still want to make a secret weapon this time?"
Xue Hao nodded.
The boss said excitedly: "The dark iron secret weapon last time was good to use, why don't you use a little more dark iron this time?"
Xue Hao said mysteriously: "I don't use dark iron this time, I want to use a better material than dark iron." ”
The boss shook his head helplessly: "Childe, Xuantie is already the best material we can provide, there is no better one." ”
"I brought the materials myself this time," Xue Hao pointed to the carriage outside the door, "It's just ......"
The cold iron was too precious, and he was afraid that it would not be safe to take out such a large piece of cold iron like this.
The boss didn't understand Xue Hao's thoughts, and it was common for him to bring his own materials to create items: "Then son, you can bring in the materials, and I'll ask the refining master to make the secret weapon you want." ”
"My materials are very precious, and there are many people here, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient. ”
"It's precious, what kind of material is it?" As the owner of the weapons shop, he had seen countless materials, and many precious materials in the eyes of ordinary people seemed ordinary to him.
Xue Hao approached the boss and said in a low voice, "Ice cold iron." ”
The boss was stunned for a moment, and shouted quietly to a junior second: "Little Liu, you look at the store first, and I will accompany this guest to the backyard." ”
The boss walked out of the door of the store and walked into an alley next to the store with Xue Hao and the carriage. There was a courtyard in the alley, and when he walked into the courtyard gate, Xue Hao heard the sound of "clanging" iron.
"This is where we build weapons, and ordinary people are not allowed to wait to come in. Childe, now you can show me the cold iron. ”
Xue Hao looked at the boss and thought that he was already a martial artist of the second stage of martial arts, and ordinary people couldn't beat him, so he wasn't afraid of being robbed. Xue Hao relieved himself and took out the cold iron from the carriage.
Icy Iron may not seem to be large, but it is extremely heavy. Three hundred kilograms of cold iron were placed on the ground by Xue Hao, making a muffled "bang".
"So big?" The boss was surprised, the Icy Cold Iron was very dense, and it was rare to see such a large Icy Cold Iron. You must know that if an ordinary weapon is mixed with a little cold iron, the hardness will increase by one level. The well-informed weapon shop owner has rarely seen the best material of this level as Ice Iron.
Xue Hao: "Can you use the cold iron to create the secret weapon I want?"
Ice iron is hard and difficult to forge due to its cold properties.
The boss hesitated: "This, you wait, I'll go and ask our blacksmith to come." ”
The owner of the weapons shop walked into a room, and after a while he came out with an old man with gray hair. Although the old man's hair was gray, his face was ruddy and energetic.
Seeing the cold iron on the ground, Mo Tong's eyes lit up, and he walked forward quickly, reaching out to touch the cold iron.
Xue Hao just wanted to say something to remind, but before he could do it, Mo Tong's hand had already touched the cold iron. Mo Tong was obviously very experienced, and his hand was just lightly touched on the cold iron and then withdrew: "Haha, cold iron, it's really cold iron!"
The boss looked at Xue Hao apologetically: "Childe, Master Mo is this temperament, don't be surprised." ”
Mo Tong's behavior was really rude, and he didn't even look at Xue Hao, as if he only had that piece of cold iron in his eyes.
Xue Hao smiled: "It's okay, this is the concentration that a master should have." ”
Master Mo stood up at this time, and his eyes left the cold iron: "Boy, is it that you want to forge weapons with the cold iron?"
Xue Hao nodded: "Well, I'm going to use it to build a secret weapon." Here are the drawings. ”
As a result, Mo Tong just glanced at it: "Although the cold iron is extremely difficult to forge, the structure of your secret weapon is very simple, and I can do it." By the way, what do you want to mix, fine iron, red copper, or dark iron?"
"Mix?" Xue Hao wondered.
Mo Tong knew that he was a layman, and explained: "Ice cold iron is a kind of excellent material with other materials, as long as you add a little ice iron to other materials, you can increase the hardness by a lot. Therefore, it is the most cost-effective to mix it with cold iron and other materials. ”
"Which is harder than the mixed material or the cold iron?"
"Of course, it's cold iron, which only uses cold iron to forge items, and has the highest hardness, but it's less cost-effective than mixed materials. Childe, what choice do you make?"
Xue Hao didn't hesitate: "Ice Cold Iron, I only need a secret weapon made of Ice Cold Iron." ”
Xue Hao's natal gun needs to pursue the ultimate attack power, and with such a large piece of cold iron, he doesn't need to care about the cost performance. Moreover, the Cold Iron Bullet was originally used by him as a killer weapon, and he had to pursue perfect quality.
Mo Tong nodded: "No problem, just using cold iron, it is easier for me to forge." In one day, I can forge about ten Icy Iron Artifacts. This piece of cold iron can be forged in about a month. ”
"By the way, I also need thirty cold iron arrows, which are the arrows of ordinary feather arrows. ”
"Yes. Mo Tong nodded.
Seeing that the two were negotiating, the owner of the weapon shop said, "Now, let's talk about the price." ”
The price is the business of the owner of the weapon shop, and Mo Tong doesn't care.
"How much does it cost to build it all?"
The boss had just calculated in his heart: "If you forge all of these, a total of 30,000 taels of silver." ”
"How much?" Xue Hao thought he had misheard.
Boss: "A total of 30,000 taels of silver." ”
Xue Hao couldn't help but say: "You just go and rob it, I provided the materials myself, just a processing fee, it will cost 30,000 taels!"
The boss hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry. It's not that I'm asking for a high price, it's that you have too much cold iron. Your cold iron weighs 300 kilograms, and according to the forging fee of 100 taels of silver per kilogram, it is 30,000 taels of silver. One hundred taels per kilogram, this is the price of Master Mo. ”
"Moreover, cold iron is one of the most difficult to forge, and the forging cost of one hundred taels per kilogram is very cost-effective. Forging this superb material is not a recipe for hammering with a hammer as you imagined, and you also need to configure the formula for forging metal. The recipe for forging cold iron is sure to be expensive. ”
Hearing the boss's explanation, Xue Hao's mood calmed down, he really imagined the forging too simple.
Mo Tong on the side couldn't help but speak for the boss: "Young man, this price is not expensive. You must know that in the entire Beast God City, I am probably the only one who can forge cold iron. ”
Xue Hao nodded, he was frightened by the number of thirty thousand taels just now: "Okay, then thirty thousand taels." I'll go first, and I'll pick it up a month later. ”
"Childe, your deposit ......" When the words came to his mouth, the boss stopped suddenly, he originally wanted Xue Hao to give a part of the deposit, but after thinking about it, so many cold irons, even if Xue Hao didn't come, he would remelt the cold iron and make a steady profit.
"Childe walks slowly. ”
spent 30,000 taels of silver, and Xue Hao was very distressed.
