Chapter Forty-Six: Immortal Qi Machine
Lu Zhan stood in front of the severed stone mill, staring at the Burmese knife steel in his hand with a surprised face, and his heart was full of doubts: Why is this knife suddenly much sharper, and the sharpness of the knife is on a higher level than thirty days ago?
He was puzzled, so he decided to take this sixth-grade steel knife and go to the secret workshop to identify it and see what the professionals had to say about it.
Lu Zhan put on the face-changing mask, and this time he no longer used the face of the ugly-faced man, but instead used the face of the gray-robed old man who was in charge of commanding the "Panyun Iron Tower Array" under General Duobao.
The reason why he has been using the faces of General Duobao's subordinates is because there are not many people in his mind who can remember, and he can't use the characters he knows in the Lu Mansion, plus he thinks that since those people with ghost faces are dead, they won't cause any unnecessary trouble to themselves.
However, his clever little calculation still caused him unnecessary trouble.
Lu Zhan came to the secret workshop again, and since he believed that the level of the Burmese steel knife in his hand was only at the level of level six at most, he still went to the middle-aged appraiser with the qualifications of an intermediate appraiser like he did last time.
The middle-aged appraiser is still accustomed to judging people by their appearance first, but this time he is a lot more serious, because the person who came is an old man who looks very weathered and experienced.
He took the Burmese steel knife from Lu Zhan's hand, first touched the surface of the knife, then looked at the blade, and flicked the blade with his fingers to listen to the movement, and then his face became more and more solemn, and there was a gasp of "......sizzling" in his mouth.
"Excuse me, old gentleman. The middle-aged appraiser hesitated for a moment, then asked Lu Zhan, "Where did you get this steel knife?"
Lu Zhan glanced at him dissatisfiedly and snorted disdainfully.
The middle-aged appraiser had no choice but to dispel the idea of inquiry, there was an unwritten rule in their World Secret Workshop Alliance, that is, they should not inquire too deeply about the origin and provenance of the items traded by traders, because since they were put in the secret workshop to be traded, then this item was more or less invisible, and everyone knew this open secret.
He asked in a hurry just now, and he had already violated the rules and taboos!
The middle-aged appraiser looked at it again and again for a while, but he really couldn't figure out the surname of this knife, so he had to sigh and smile bitterly at Lu Zhan and said, "I'm afraid you'll have to go to our senior appraiser to identify it, old man." ”
"Looking for a senior appraiser?" Lu Zhan frowned: "But this is obviously a sixth-level Burmese steel knife, how can a senior appraiser be needed to identify it?"
"Grade 6?Burmese Steel Knife?No, No, No......" The intermediate appraiser's head shook like a rattle, "How can this material be a Burmese Steel knife? This knife is made of some unknown rare material, and it is not the same road as Burmese Steel at all? And it must be more than level six, according to the following inference, the level of this knife is only afraid of being above level seven." ”
"Really?" At this time, even Lu Zhan, who had always been calm, was shocked, a sixth-level knife was upgraded to a whole level, and even the material had a qualitative jump, becoming a rare and unknown material, wouldn't this mean that this knife had been re-tempered at least hundreds of times?
He was puzzled for a while, wondering if he had continuously injected the "Blood Light Slash" into this knife, but the power of the "Blood Light Slash" did not appear, but instead refined the knife over and over again?
No, how can there be such an exaggerated thing, it can only use the human body qi machine to replace the high-level blacksmith master to temper the weapon and help it upgrade!
Seeing that he was silent, the intermediate appraiser only thought that this customer was hesitating to trade, and he was afraid that he would run away from this good business, so he hurriedly said: "Please wait here for a while, and then go and ask our senior appraiser to come over and do another appraisal." As he spoke, he glanced at one of the bodyguards standing not far away, who nodded in agreement and walked away lightly.
Lu Zhan came back to his senses from his confusion, and he shook his head: "No, I don't want a senior appraiser to appraise it, I heard that you must be a VIP-level regular customer here, and I haven't done any business with you." It seems that he has always been calm and calm, but in this case, he still hasn't forgotten his new identity after changing his face.
"No, we don't have that rule here!" the intermediate appraiser flatly denied.
"What? really not?"
"I don't know which bastard you've always heard tell you that we have this rulebreaker. The intermediate appraiser patted his chest and said, "I dare to use my personality as a guarantee, there is absolutely no such thing." ”
Lu Zhan cursed in his belly: At the beginning, wasn't it you bastard who told me.
At this moment, a very sweet voice came from behind him: "Oh, what treasure does this big brother have for this girl to identify?
As soon as I heard this voice, I didn't need to look back to confirm it, and I knew that it was the who called themselves Miss Fan and the senior appraiser was here.
The middle-aged appraiser hurriedly held the Burmese steel knife and handed it to Miss Fan, and said quickly: "Miss Fan, please take a look, and forgive your subordinates for their incompetence, and they can't even see what magical material this knife is made of." ”
Miss Fan took the knife, first glanced at it with her usual lazy eyes, and immediately let out a soft "huh" in her mouth, her eyes began to become sharp and surprised, and her thin eyebrows slowly twisted into a knot in the center of her forehead.
"The material of this knife is really weird. She muttered in her mouth, and then she solemnly brought the knife close to her eyes, looked at it with her eyes, stroked it with her hands, sniffed it close with her nose, and even stretched out her tongue to lick the blade, and whispered to herself: "There is a bloodthirsty breath on this knife, and the blade is faintly full of blood, as if it has killed countless creatures!"
Lu Zhan didn't say anything after hearing this, but he understood a little in his heart that what she was talking about was exactly the characteristics of the "Blood Light Slash" that she had cultivated.
It seems that he unintentionally tempered the knife with the blood light slash, which is enough to make it jump from an intermediate-level weapon to a high-level weapon.
Ordinary craftsmen use open flames to quench their blades, but the way he refines them is "Blood Light Slash", which can be regarded as a different way.
Miss Fan was puzzled when she saw that Qiu Fengfeng, the steward of the secret workshop, also came over, and Miss Fan gave Qiu Fengfeng a look.
Qiu Xianfeng immediately understood what she meant, and smiled at Lu Zhan: "This brother looks very fresh, dare to ask if it is the first time to come to our secret workshop." ”
Lu Zhan nodded slightly, and replied briefly: "Yes." ”
Qiu Xianfeng continued to say enthusiastically: "It seems that the knife brought by Brother Tai has stumped our senior appraiser, and I would like to ask Brother Tai, if we want to buy your knife here in the secret workshop of Yunmeng City, how much price are you going to ask?"
"But you haven't told me the results of the knife yet. Lu Zhan smiled and said.
Miss Fan hurriedly replied: "The level of this knife is level seven, there is no doubt about it. We're just a little confused about its material now, and there's something strange about this knife, so its refining process must be different from the ordinary weapon forging process......"
Hearing her say this, Qiu Xianfeng's eyes flashed with a different color, and when he saw that Miss Fan was going to continue to speak, he quickly coughed to interrupt her words, and then looked at Lu Zhan with a smile: "Our Miss Fan's identification has been revealed, this is a seventh-level treasure knife, if you want to sell it to us in the secret workshop, please make a price." ”
"Shall I bid?"
"It's ridiculously high, of course, after all, the rules of the Secret Workshop are there, but I can give you a price that you are absolutely satisfied with. Qiu said generously.
The intermediate appraiser and Miss Fan all looked at him in surprise, generally speaking, when they go to the secret workshop to trade, they are basically set by the appraiser, and now Qiu Xianfeng personally comes forward to let the guests shout the price by themselves, which is an extremely rare situation.
Lu Zhan came here this time, not because he wanted to do any business, but just to identify what strange changes had occurred in this Burmese steel knife after it was continuously quenched by his own "Blood Light Slash".
But now that the steward of the secret workshop has personally asked himself to make a high price, then he might as well have a lion mouth. So he said, "That's one and a half million silver." ”
The intermediate appraiser and Miss Fan all rolled their eyes, and said in their hearts, your heart is too dark, and the price of a seventh-level weapon shouting 800,000 at the auction is already considered a high price, and it is still 1.5 million, which is the price that only weapons above the eighth-level level are worthy of shouting.
I don't know that Qiu Xianfeng said and then discussed: "It's a bit high, how about a million taels." ”
Lu Zhan said without hesitation: "Okay, deal." "It took him thirty days to turn a sixth-level weapon worth only tens of thousands of taels into a seventh-level weapon worth one million taels of silver, this price is already beyond his expectations, and it is natural to sell it for cash, after all, there are still a lot of weapons in his Qiankun bag, and he can rely on this blood light to upgrade one by one in the future.
Qiu Xianfeng took the Burmese steel knife that had been mutated by the blood light from Lu Zhan's hand, and said with a smile: "From now on, Your Excellency, you will be the platinum-level VIP of our secret workshop, if you have any transactions in the future, please just come to our secret workshop, we will definitely provide you with the most thoughtful service." ”
Lu Zhan thanked him, he glanced at Miss Fan, and originally wanted her to identify the silver-gray soft armor that he had obtained from Steward Liu.
But after thinking about it, he remembered that the first time he came to the secret workshop with Xi Liuzi and them, he saw Steward Liu walking out of the secret room where he traded top-notch goods with a silk package. This shows that Steward Liu also had a close relationship with the secret workshop.
In case the silver-gray soft armor happened to be bought from the secret workshop, then he recklessly took it out at this moment for Miss Fan to identify, maybe they would give him a calendar, thus exposing his whereabouts.
Thinking of this, he dispelled the idea of appraising the soft armor together, and followed the intermediate appraiser to the counter to get the silver ticket.
After Lu Zhan walked away, Miss Fan complained to Qiu Xianfeng: "The price you gave him is enough to buy two or three seventh-grade steel knives, and you will lose a lot of money in this business." ”
Qiu Xianfeng smiled faintly: "When have you seen me doing a loss business?" Let me ask you, what is it that you just said that there is a faint trace of something very strange in this knife?"
Miss Fan shook her head and said hesitantly: "I can't tell what it is, but with so many years of experience, it seems to be the kind of 'fairy spirit qi machine' that only exists in legends." ”
"'Immortal Qi Machine'?" Qiu Xianfeng said with a frown, "This knife is really strange, maybe it is from the treasure of General Duobao." ”
Miss Fan looked at him in astonishment, lowered her voice and asked, "Why did you say this?"
