A weird sneer hung on Qiu Xianfeng's lips, "I'm just making a conjecture, do you know why I offered him such a high price?"

Miss Fan suddenly understood: "Oh, you want to put a long line to catch a big fish, and give him a very high price first, so that if the old man really has the treasure of General Duobao in his hand, he will take it over and continue to trade in the future." ”

"Yes, that's exactly what it means. Qiu Xianfeng stopped and thought about it, and then asked Miss Fan: "Your appraiser's observation and memory are very strong, can you draw a portrait of the old guy just now?"

Miss Fan bowed her head: "It should be no problem, but why do you want this portrait?"

"I'm going to send my sons and daughters with this portrait to the eyeliner we have placed around the Cliff of Ghost Face to inquire and see if any of them have ever seen the old fellow. ”

After speaking, Qiu Xianfeng put the knife in Miss Fan's hand: "You give me a good study of this knife to see what kind of material it is made of? ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do their best. Miss Fan took the Burmese steel knife.

Qiu Xianfeng said again: "Hehe, I'll give you a hint: you will call a person who has practiced to the late stage of the Bone Forging Realm to help you do an experiment, and you let another person in the late stage of the Body Refining Realm hold this knife and slash at him to see what happens." ”

"A person in the late stage of the Body Refining Realm uses a seventh-level knife to cut a good hand in the late stage of the Bone Forging Realm," Miss Fan replied without thinking about it, "That must not hurt him." ”

"Not necessarily. Qiu Xianfeng continued to smile: "You try it according to what I say." ”

Miss Fan nodded, took the Burmese knife and walked to her room in the back.

Qiu Xianfeng turned his head and looked at the trading hall, only to see Lu Zhan standing in front of the counter where the "sundries" were traded, casually flipping through books about martial arts and the like.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a little strange in his heart, from a distance, Lu Zhan's figure was tall and straight, with strong muscles and bones, very much like a young man who didn't fight for a few years, but on that face, he looked very old, and this person was really a little weird.

After all, Lu Zhan was too young and lacked experience, and he didn't feel that the gap between his figure and face would arouse Lao Jianghu's suspicions.

He wandered around the row of counters where martial arts books were traded, but he couldn't find the martial arts cheats he wanted to buy about blade exercises.

The books on sale on this counter are all big road goods, most of them are suitable for people in the body refining realm to practice, and even fewer are suitable for bone forging realm cultivation. And those that are suitable for the cultivation of the Qi Condensation Realm are not at all.

It seems that if you want to get a good exercise cheat, you have to try your luck in the auction rooms where VIPs can trade.

However, now Lu Zhan didn't have the heart to try his luck, what he wanted to get more now was the second-level pill, in order to increase the cultivation speed, he now wanted to increase the consumption of the second-level pill "Pei Yuan Dan" from one to two, which meant that he needed a large amount of "Pei Yuan Dan".

There were sixty Pei Yuan Dan in General Duobao's hidden treasure, plus the eight that were found on Steward Liu's body before, there were only sixty-eight in total, and now he had eaten forty-eight of them, and there were only twenty left, so he had to think of getting enough Pei Yuan Dan to continue to increase his cultivation speed quickly.

So he walked to the counter on the other side of the trading floor where the pills were sold.

Behind the counter stood a young woman with a beautiful face but a very cold and noble expression.

However, when she watched Lu Zhan show off a platinum VIP card, her eyes immediately flashed with electricity, and she kept throwing flattering eyes at Lu Zhan: "May I ask this big brother, what do you want to buy?"

The woman asked in the sweetest voice: "We have "Yangyuan Dan", "Yiqi Dan", "Baoshen Dan" and so on here, etc., the variety is complete, and you are satisfied." ”

"I want to ask what the price of the second-grade pill is. Lu Zhan asked.

"Second-grade pills?" the woman tilted her head and said, "Pei Yuan Dan is five thousand taels of silver each, and 'Guqi Pill' is one of twelve thousand taels of silver. ”

"What?" Lu Zhan said in surprise: "The price difference between the second-grade pill and the first-grade pill is actually a hundred times, so powerful. ”

The woman smiled lightly and shook it gently: "Of course." The refining of second-grade pills is made of very rare and precious materials, and the refining cycle of second-grade pills is more than ten times longer than that of first-grade pills, and the price is of course much higher. ”

Lu Zhan thought in his heart that he had a million taels of silver tickets on him, and he could spend all of them to buy two hundred "Pei Yuan Dan", so he could use them for a while.

Thinking of this, he said to the woman, "Then I will buy two hundred Pei Yuan Dan." ”

The woman was still smiling, but the words she said made Lu Zhan's heart cool by half: "I'm sorry, big brother, I don't have the goods." ”

"No goods?" Lu Zhan was stunned, "Don't you have one?"

"Yes, there is not a single one left. ”

"But didn't you just say that the variety is complete, and I'm satisfied?" Lu Zhan was a little angry: "Why didn't you say any of them at this time?"

The woman explained without changing her face: "What I said is complete, Brother Bao, you are satisfied, this sentence has a premise, it all refers to the first-class pills." The second-grade pill has always been a priceless and sought-after item in the market, and it will be snatched up by the major wealthy families as soon as it comes out. Therefore, if you want to buy a second-grade pill in our secret workshop, you have to be lucky, and you will have to come across a newly refined one that has just been put on the market. ”

Lu Zhan was disappointed, so he had to put away his platinum VIP card stupidly. At this moment, a voice sounded from behind him: "Does this brother Tai want to buy "Pei Yuan Dan"?"

Lu Zhan turned his head and saw that it was Qiu Xianfeng standing behind him, so he nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that you don't have any goods here, and there are no one." ”

The woman saluted Qiu and said, "He wants to buy 200 pieces." ”

"Oh, two hundred. Qiu Xianfeng groaned: "This is not a small amount, and the shipment volume of our secret workshop in half a year is only about two or three hundred. ”

"Ah, such a small amount!" Lu Zhan secretly said, it turned out that the second-level pill was so cherished. The "Pei Yuan Dan" that Xiang Xiang had in his hand were all snatched from others, so he didn't have a clear idea of the market situation of this high-grade pill.

Qiu Xianfeng looked at Lu Zhanyan and said: "If Brother Tai is really in a hurry, I can consider doing a favor, next time we have goods here, I will help you keep some first, but the number will not be too much, Your Excellency, don't have too much hope, after all, the wealthy clans and major forces in the entire Yunmeng County are staring at these second-level pills." ”

"Thank you very much for this daring. Lu Zhan promised, maybe there are not many of them, but it is better to have goods than no goods.

"But ......" Qiu Fengfeng's tone suddenly changed: "I also have something I want to ask Brother Tai for a favor." ”

"Please let me help?" Lu Zhan was puzzled: "How can I help?"

Qiu Xianfeng smiled and said, "It's to provide us with a few more blades or armor like the one Your Excellency sold today." ”

"It's not that hard. I still have a few blades in my hand. Lu Zhan agreed without hesitation. He thought that as long as he grabbed a few blades from the treasure of General Duobao and sold them, after all, he still had a large number of weapons stored in his Qiankun bag and did not move.

Qiu Xianfeng specially advised: "What we want in the secret workshop is like the one you sold us today, the kind of blade that even a senior appraiser can't distinguish its material from, as for the level of the blade, the requirements on my side are not high, just level four or above." ”

"Ahh After listening to his reminder, Lu Zhan suddenly became alert;

Deliberately touching his head: "This is a bit of a problem." "If you use the Blood Light Slash to refine the blade, it will take a while. The seventh-level Burmese knife in front of him took him a full thirty days.

But he now wants to get "Pei Yuan Dan" within twenty days.

"If you embarrass your excellency, forget it. Qiu Xianfeng saw Lu Zhan's eagerness for the second-level elixir, so he retreated and said, "However, it is difficult to guarantee the transaction of our second-level elixir. ”

Seeing this, Lu Zhan had to agree first: "Okay, I'll promise you the secret workshop." ”

He wanted to go back and try a level 4 or 5 blade again, although the last time he tried, it seemed that both levels of blades had failed.

But Lu Zhan felt that the reason why he failed might be because he had just stepped into the realm of condensation and had not mastered the degree of heat that infused the "Blood Light Slash" into the blade.

Now that he had practiced for another thirty or forty days, he felt that his martial arts attainments had improved a lot, and he had already had a successful experience, so he felt that he might be able to refine a fourth- to fifth-level blade with blood light in a short period of time.

Lu Zhan negotiated the conditions with Qiu Feng and left the secret workshop.

After returning home, he took out a fourth-level mixed yuan cooked copper stick from the treasure of General Duobao, and prepared to use this copper stick to inject the "Blood Light Slash" for quenching.

In his opinion, the mixed yuan copper rod is thick and round, and it is not easy to break during the quenching process.

In addition, the toughness of cooked copper is also relatively strong, not as brittle and hard as steel knives.

He still followed the successful experience of the Burmese steel knife in front of him, and slowly injected the "Blood Light Chop" into the cooked copper stick, as the red light on the copper stick became more and more abundant, and the copper stick itself did not appear anything abnormal.

In this way, he insisted on two tea kung fu, and the copper stick was safe and sound. Lu Zhan knew that the beginning of this tempering was already open, and the next time was to endure the surname and unremittingly use the "Blood Light Slash" to refine it repeatedly.

In early spring, the wind is still cold, but the sun is shining, the willow branches are spitting out new green, and the air is already filled with a hint of warmth.

Lu Zhan's physique was strong, so he took off his thick winter coat earlier than others and put on new clothes in early spring, and he suddenly felt refreshed, and his walking seemed to be a lot lighter.

Early that morning, as soon as he stepped into the nursing hall, he was stopped by Tie Song.

Tie Song explained to him: "The third young master will be back in a while, and we have to make more preparations to welcome him." As usual, these things should be arranged by Steward Liu, but the strange thing is that after Steward Liu came back in a hurry recently, he has not seen his figure reappear, and I don't know where he has gone. Therefore, Elder Yu and I discussed with the second leader of Yao Shi, and our Guardian Hall first organized a 'guard group' of about thirty people, and this 'guard group' was specifically responsible for the security and reception of the third young master when he returned. ”

"The 'Escort Group' is specifically responsible for the security of the Third Young Master?" Lu Zhanqi said: "This is too exaggerated, in the Lu Mansion, only the Marquis Lu is a team under the leadership of Yao Shi who is in charge of security work, and the core members of the other families are all arranged by the Guardian Hall to unify security matters, why do these three princes alone arrange such a grand 'Escort Group' for him?"

Tie Song shrugged his shoulders and said, "You probably don't know that this third young master is the most high-flying and domineering existence in the Lu Mansion, and of course he likes to talk about pomp and circumstance the most." In the past, every time he returned home, the leader of the second team, Xue Liji, was personally responsible for the security guards. But some time ago, Xue Lijian also disappeared for no reason, so the hall had to ask me to wait for the third young master's security to be rearranged. ”
