Chapter 76: Selling your art is not selling your body
In the house, Wu Jian and Qiu Zhenren discussed for a long time.
Not to mention, although this old man was angry with Wu Gan, he explained it in detail. Why this is so, how to use it, explain it clearly. In this way, Wu Yan was a little embarrassed, and he took so many things from other people.
As the days passed, the two of them only had a few meals during the period, and finally explained the rune clearly.
Wu Gen got up and bowed deeply to the old man, "A real talent, Wu Gen is grateful."
Qiu Zhenren proudly accepted this gift, and his face was proud, "Anyway, this talisman is not of great use to cultivators, I don't know what your intentions are when you go to great lengths to make it."
Wu Yan smiled, "Only let Qianli protect himself."
Qiu Zhenren was stunned for a moment, "Why does the prince suddenly value the head of Qian."
Wu Yan arched his hand towards the sky: "Lord Weng is merciful."
"Oh." If Qiu Zhenren realized something, he didn't know where to go, and suddenly said, "By the way, although this talisman is simple, it also has shortcomings."
"What's missing."
"The things carried by this talisman need to be very strong, but ordinary arrows, knives and guns can't withstand it, I tried a variety of materials but couldn't do it, so I barely carved it on the jade bi. If it is a weapon, it needs to be made of fine iron and embedded with spiritual jade before it can be used."
Wu Yan frowned, where should I find this fine iron, if it is so difficult to control, then what is the use of this talisman for mortals.
As if he saw Wu Gan's thoughts, Qiu Zhenren stroked his beard and smiled, "The matter of fine iron is not difficult to find, it can be said that it is close at hand."
"Who has fine iron?"
"Genshan Gate, this is a specialty of its door, the quality is quite good, and even people from other continents have come to buy it."
"Zhang Qing, ......" Wu Qian's face was a little ugly.
Zhao Ling's trip was quite successful, not only to crack the ancient talismans, but also to get a lot of classics, since the purpose has been achieved, you might as well return to the city as soon as possible. As for Huang Li, it was rare to come back once, and Zhao Ling was in a good mood, so he gave this person a few days off and could stay in Yanming Mountain.
Looking at the distant convoy, Huang Li looked worried, "Master, so many treasured classics have been taken away, it is really a futile person who knows people and is not allowed to invite this disaster."
Qiu Zhenren stroked his beard and looked unfathomable, "It's okay, those are all basic scriptures, and there are many backups in the mountains. However, this Zhao Ling attaches so much importance to this ancient rune, it is difficult to stand on his own. Don't forget, King Jinchun is a good cultivator. This woman is very ambitious, and she should be careful when she gets along with her, not far away."
"The apprentice knows, Master is wise."
Not to mention the blind guessing of the master and apprentice, Wu Gan was on the way back, but he pondered the idea of how to obtain fine iron.
Asked Zhang Qing directly, what do you think, that guy is not a good match at first glance. It seems that he can only find a way to do it to Zhao Ling, but this Weng lord has always been shrewd, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come up with any good price, so it is estimated that he will not be tempted.
Back in Guanxi City, Wu Gan began to sort out the things he brought back from Qiu Zhenren, and the more he pondered, the more he sighed at the wisdom of the ancients. There are only a few runes on the arrows, but when it comes to Qiu Zhenren, it is much more complicated.
According to the real person, I tried to draw on the paper many times, but it always fell short. After throwing the thousandth piece of paper, Wu Yan sighed, did he not have any talent for drawing talismans.
Seven days later, Huang Li rushed back to the palace and took the initiative to visit Wu Ganmen for the first time. Seeing Wu Gan, whose eyes were blood-red and his expression was sluggish, Huang Li's face was narrow, "Brother Wu, eh, what's wrong, why are you so haggard after not seeing you for a few days, it's hard to see something."
Wu Yan said weakly: "Lao Huang, it seems that I really can't draw talismans, and I have practiced hard for many days, but I have achieved nothing. Alas, in the future, I can only ask you for this drawing of talismans. I heard that Weng mainly made 100,000 talisman arrows, and the project was huge, and it was hard work."
Huang Li was stunned, 100,000 branches, he wanted his own life. Drawing talismans is also to consume the spirit of energy, drawing ten talismans a day is the limit, these 100,000 arrows can be carved on it with their own aura, the day the arrow is made, that is, when they fall.
"Brother Wu, don't worry, Master just thought that something was wrong, so he sent me back quickly. The matter of drawing talismans is by no means a one-day achievement, and it must be practiced diligently and persevering. In addition, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
Drawing talismans also requires a special talisman pen, and the aura is injected when moving the pen. If there is no aura, the true qi of the martial artist can also be. For the great cause of the master, the master gave two talisman pens to the Wu brothers. Practice again, practice again, and I believe that with your talent, you will be able to draw the Blood Spirit Talisman in a few days."
Wu Yan was furious when he heard this, and grabbed Huang Li's placket, "Okay, you Huang Li, and what kind of Master Qiu Ba of you, why didn't you say it when you were on the mountain, it hurt me to not think about the tea and food these days, for fear of delaying the big event of Lord Weng." Say, "You didn't mean it."
Huang Li looked at Wu Yan with a smile and gently brushed his hand away, "One report and one report, you have taken so many scriptures from the master, is it not possible that we will charge a little interest." Didn't you send two pens as compensation, what is there to be dissatisfied with Brother Wu?"
As he spoke, he got up, hesitated when he came to the door, and said, "One hundred thousand arrows, Brother Wu, even if you are squeezed dry, you may not be able to make them, think twice."
What's more, Master said, Chu Ji, who was with you that day, was very sensitive to changes in her breath, if it weren't for her about to become a nobleman, it would be a great help from you, and with her watching when she drew the talisman, the chances of success might be much greater."
Looking at Huang Li's figure, Wu Yan nodded, although this kid is not very smart, his heart is not bad.
Since you have a talisman pen, it will be difficult to draw talismans for a while, so it is better to ask Zhao Ling for some fine iron first. For this reason, Wu Gen took Chu Ji and went to visit Zhao Ling. The reason why Chu Ji was brought on was to let Zhao Ling see the face of this future sister and not make it too difficult for himself.
When he saw Zhao Ling, Wu Gan recounted his thoughts, thinking that he would want ten catties of refined iron.
Zhao Ling was a little confused and said, "The art of witchcraft also requires fine iron, isn't it all about carving a villain and making a puppet or something?"
"Lord Weng doesn't know, the mana of the Jianghu Warlock and the like is shallow, and the natural wooden man is enough, but the killing power I have learned is huge, and the idle things can't carry their meaning, so they have to be made of fine iron.
I think that as the lord of Weng, if you use this witchcraft technique, you will definitely be a great opponent, so it is better to be more appropriate." Wu Gen bent down deeply and gave a salute, but his eyes were staring at a pearl on Zhao Ling's shoes, well, this thing is valuable.
"Okay, I've done so much before, and it's not bad for this last shiver. However, Wu Gan, Lord Ben Weng reminds you that there are no more than three things. Last time, I gave you a piece of copper slip, and the tofu method contained on it is the so-called white jade mushroom.
Second, I asked for the rune method from Yanming Mountain, and I gave it to you in its entirety. You have to show some sincerity when you ask for help, and you can't take advantage of me in vain." Zhao Ling looked at Wu Yan meaningfully.
Taking advantage, Wu Yan couldn't help but think of what happened in the carriage, and said aggrievedly: "Ahem, Lord Weng, you were in the carriage that day, but you ....... first."
"Presumptuous, you have to rot in your stomach as you rot in the past. Let's be clear, you have to pay some price for this fine iron matter. Do you know that a pound of refined iron costs a hundred taels of gold, and this is because I am familiar with Genshanmen." Zhao Ling suddenly became angry, startling everyone in the room.
Wu Yan thought for a while, and Fang cautiously replied, "I don't know what Lord Weng wants, as long as it is something outside his body, he can discuss it."
"You still don't sell your art, I want the recipe and production method of Bai Yushu." Zhao Ling said loudly.
"Huh?" Wu Yan raised his head in surprise, turned around with thousands of thoughts in his heart, looked at Zhao Ling's unquestionable expression, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, but fine iron costs thirty catties."
"Twenty pounds."
"Deal."
Zhao Ling was stunned, "No more bargaining." Although twenty catties of refined iron is not cheap, Bai Yushu can make money for a long time, and Wu Gan spit it out so quickly made her a little surprised.
Wu Gan has another idea, the reason why this tofu is so expensive is because it is a new food, and it is an exclusive operation. If someone has a heart to imitate it, in fact, there is nothing complicated, it is better to sell it at a good price as soon as possible.
The two discussed properly, each was happy, and they both felt that they had taken advantage of each other.
Three days after handing over the tofu making method, twenty catties of refined iron arrived. This iron is extraordinary at a glance, on the dark iron, there is a little starlight twinkling, and in the sun, it is even more dazzling.
Refined iron is generally used by people who practice qi to forge magic weapons, and Genshan Gate happens to occupy an iron mine, which can be said to be lying down to collect money.
Wu Jian practiced drawing talismans with a talisman pen, and at the same time had to think about how to make this fine iron into arrows, and he was very busy.
When drawing talismans every day, Wu Jian had to take Chu Ji with him. Sure enough, as Qiu Zhenren said, this little guy is very sensitive to breath changes, although she doesn't know the meaning of the rune, but every time the rune pen moves, whether the breath runs smoothly, she knows at a glance.
These days, with the help of Chu Ji, Wu Gan's feelings for the Blood Spirit Rune are getting deeper and deeper, and he is confident that he will soon be able to break through. Unexpectedly, it was not him who was the first to paint, but Chu Ji.
On this day, Wu Geng rested between the drawings. Chu Ji was bored, picked up the talisman pen casually, and with a sigh, he actually drew a blood spirit rune. Although this talisman has almost no aura and can even be carried by ordinary paper, it is done after all.
Seeing the little guy holding the rune paper and playing with the boat at will, Wu Gan's face turned dark, not as good as a real person, not even a child.
There was no way, the drawing charm could not be completed, and Wu Gen riveted with the blacksmith shop. found the largest blacksmith shop in the city, borrowed a complete set of utensils, and tempered the twenty catties of fine iron every day. But after thousands of hammers, the hammers were broken a few times, but the fine iron did not change at all.
Pity our classmate Wu Gan, after being cheated by Qiu Zhenren once, he was cheated by Zhao Ling again.
How can this fine iron be melted by ordinary fire, but only by special earthfire?
In the end, the old shopkeeper in the shop couldn't stand it anymore, and took Wu Gen to a valley outside the city, where there was a natural earth fire, accompanied by a magic circle, which could create magic weapons. After all, the cultivators in the palace also have to create some magic weapons, so there is nothing in the city that is not prepared.
Finally, after paying ten times the price, Wu Jian created three iron arrows.
As soon as the iron arrow came out, even the shopkeeper praised it. The arrow is very sharp, but the texture is very light, which is comparable to a normal arrow, which means that it can be shot with a normal hard bow. It was test-fired, and easily shot through the thick armor of the guard's heavy cavalry. If the tension of the bow is greater, it will not be a problem to shoot through the five layers of armor.
A second Bai Yushu shop was opened by the lake, and the shopkeeper heard that it was a foreigner, but when he saw that the housekeeper of the palace often wandered around the door, people quickly understood who the proprietor behind it was.
It's interesting now, both of them are opened by people related to the palace, so it's possible that there is also infighting in the palace. A group of melon eaters speculated in the back, going around the two houses from time to time to see what the difference was.
Compared with Wu Gan's shop, the second one obviously has a much larger shipment volume and cheaper prices, which naturally attracts many diners.
Wu Yan gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, this Zhao Ling was too explicit in doing things, and he clearly wanted to squeeze himself to death. Hmph, now that the fine iron is in hand, don't blame the master for using some means.
