"Brother really won't go home with me?"

In the south of Chaozhou City, in front of the main gate of Jiao's Annex, Jiao Yulang led the horse, and his tone was full of reluctance: "This annex used to be quiet and elegant, but now there are many guests who come to celebrate their birthdays.

Qi Jingzhi stood on the stone steps in front of the door, first glanced at the platinum rat standing on Jiao Yulang's shoulder, and then shook his head and smiled: "I eat and live here for nothing under your banner, what else is there to be dissatisfied? Your family is a military family, and the rules in the house must be very big, so it's better to be more comfortable here."

Jiao Yulang knew that the elder brother of the Qi family had a very correct idea, so he no longer persuaded him, but was a little stupid: "What my brother said is that the younger brother ran away after all, and once he returns home, he will have to be reprimanded and punished, and I am afraid that he will not have a chance to go out before the birthday banquet."

Qi Jingzhi smiled dumbly, and comforted: "You helped Peng Zeshui Mansion find the jade pillow this time, which is also a small credit, I think the elders in your family will not punish too much." Now that your aunt's birthday is just a few days away, there must be a lot of things going on in the house, so you can stay at home and don't worry about me here."

Although this matter was discussed by the two in advance, and Jiao Yulang returned the jade pillow to Peng Zeshui Mansion to reduce unnecessary trouble, the little baby still couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this: "The jade pillow was obviously taken back by my brother and Lao Wei, and Lao Wei even lost his life because of it, and the younger brother risked his merit to ask for a reward, which is really a little unwilling, so I can only find a chance to compensate my brother and the Wei family in the future."

He reached out again and patted the wine bag on his waist, and then said, "Not to mention that I also entrusted my brother's blessing to get this bag of emperor anointing wine, and the birthday gift for my aunt and grandmother can be regarded as settled. Three days later, when my brother enters the house, he only needs to report my name, and he doesn't need to bring any birthday gifts."

Qi Jing was stunned, then nodded and smiled, "I know it in my heart."

Jiao Yulang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly took out a money bag from his arms, raised his hand and threw it at Qi Jingyi.

Qi Jing subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Jiao Yulang had already quickly turned around and jumped on horseback, galloping away like a burning buttocks, and shouted to himself: "I have eaten a lot of rare things with my brother these days, and it is time for my younger brother to be the host again!" My brother only eats and plays, and all the expenses are mine!"

The shouting continued, and the back of the little baby had disappeared suddenly, and disappeared on the corner of the street after a while.

Qi Jingzhi retracted his gaze, looked down at the money bag in his hand, and couldn't laugh or cry.

He had seen this money bag before, and it was full of valuables such as gold melon seeds and gold leaves, which was indeed a big windfall for ordinary people, but it was just the daily food of the platinum rat for the little baby.

"Hey, since you're in my brother's land, you should eat a big meal, and you can't save money for him!"

Qi Jingzhi put away the money bag, looked up at the sky, and saw that it was still early, so he didn't go back to the annex residence, but walked down the stone steps slowly.

The young man blended into the bustling flow of people, and walked around this prosperous state city for a long time, seeing many new scenes along the way, but he never stopped until he saw a blacksmith shop of a large scale.

The young man in the shop saw that he was standing in front of the door with a long knife on his back, and knew that most of the business came to the door, so he immediately greeted him: "The guest officer wants to buy a blade?"

Qi Jingzhi shook his head: "You might be able to mend the sword here?"

"Naturally, you can cultivate! Guest, please!" The guy laughed, and immediately stretched out his hand to greet the customer, to lead Qi Jingzhi into the store.

Qi Jingzhi stood still, reached out and pulled out Qi Huchan in his sleeve, and motioned to the other party, "Can you cultivate like this?"

The guy looked at it, his gaze swept over the jagged blade and the pitted blade, and he couldn't help but gasp, and exclaimed, "Good boy, how did you hurt like this!"

His voice was not small, and immediately a shirtless middle-aged man walked out, carefully looked at the ox ear sharp knife in Qi Jingzhi's hand, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head and said regretfully: "Small injuries rely on grinding, major injuries rely on repair, the guest officer's knife is not ordinary at first glance, but unfortunately the injury is too serious, it can only be recast, it is better to buy a new one."

Hearing this, Qi respected

Zhi shook his head without hesitation: "It can't be reforged, and it can't be replaced with a new knife."

The middle-aged man was also very straightforward, and immediately spread his hands and said, "The shop has repaired swords for many gentlemen in the army and on the rivers and lakes, so he naturally knows the severity of the swords, and he will never dare to joke with the treasure knife of the guest officer. However, if you don't want to reforge it, not to mention that the small shop can't repair it, and no one in this city has the ability to strike iron!"

Qi Jingzhi groaned for a moment, carefully put the knife into the sheath, and then raised his head and asked, "In that case, do you have high-quality iron in your shop?"

The middle-aged man was obviously stunned, and said with a little hesitation: "There are fine fine iron in the store, and even better ones are burnt steel and flower pin, all of which are high-quality steel made of iron and forged, but the small shop has always only sold finished products......

Qi Jingzhi waved his hand, took out the hot money bag from his arms, and threw it to the middle-aged man: "I don't want much, I buy one ingot for each at the market price." You send someone to the Jiao Clan's annex in the south of the city, and you say that Qi Jingzhi wants it."

Hearing the words "Jiao's Annex", the middle-aged man and the guy next to him immediately showed a look of awe.

The middle-aged man opened the money bag and looked inside, his face changed again, and he hurriedly returned it with both hands: "Since it is a distinguished guest of Jiaofu, the villains must choose the best materials to serve!" In addition to the three mentioned above, some of the immersion iron produced in the East China Sea are also prepared. Most of these iron materials are ready-made, but the price of heavy iron is high, so you have to ask the owner to allocate it, if the guest officer is not in a hurry to leave, you can check it in a while!"

"This Jiao's name is really useful, and I can be regarded as a fox and a fake tiger."

Qi Jingzhi thought for a while and said, "It just so happens that I still need to buy some mountain goods, is there a shop near here?"

When the young man heard this, he immediately nodded, and said courteously, "There is one not far from here, I'll take the guest officer over!"

"It's worked!"

Qi Jingzhi nodded in thanks, followed the other party for a while, and sure enough, he saw a mountain goods store.

The young man accompanied him in and said to the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter, "Second uncle, this master is a distinguished guest living in Jiao's Annex, and he wants to buy some mountain goods."

The gray-haired shopkeeper immediately got up, and his face was full of smiles.

Without waiting for the other party to be polite, Qi Jingzhi spoke first: "Shopkeeper, can there be hazelnuts, pine nuts, quince, and walnuts in the store?"

"All of them, all of them are of the best quality!"

The shopkeeper answered, and immediately seemed to think of something: "The guest officer is going to buy a birthday gift? I treasure a vermilion lacquer food box in this store, and there is a famous carved "White Ape Offering Fruit Picture" on the box, which is the most appropriate for the occasion, I don't know if the guest officer needs it?"

Qi Jingzhi can be regarded as having seen the business experience of the businessmen in the city of this state, and he doesn't know how much better than those peers in Songling County, so he immediately nodded with a smile: "If it is really a good thing, it is naturally wanted."

"Wait a minute, officer!"

The shopkeeper confessed, turned around and entered the back hall, and after a short time came out with a vermilion lacquered wooden box.

The wooden box is divided into four layers, and there are exquisite carvings on the box.

Qi Jingzhi looked carefully, only to see the mountains and forests, waterfalls and clouds, a long-haired and long-armed ape kneeling on the ground, holding a stone plate high in both hands, the stone plate was full of four-color longevity fruits.

In front of the ape stood a fairy, graceful and fluttering, as if she wanted to return with the wind.

Seeing that this carved picture was meticulously carved and full of charm, Qi Jingzhi immediately nodded with satisfaction: "I want this wooden box, and it happens to hold one kind on each layer."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed, and he didn't ask the guys in his store to help, so he got busy himself.

The blacksmith guy who brought Qi Jingzhi over couldn't help but ask, "Second uncle, what is the point of these four dried fruits, why are they called longevity fruits?"

"Talkative! How can you intervene in front of the guests?" The shopkeeper kept working in his hands, raised his eyes and glared at his nephew, and his mouth was already scolding.

Qi Jingzhi didn't think it was wrong, and explained to the guy with a smile: "It's not unusual, just because these four things are hidden in the shell, the wind does not dry, the rain does not get wet, and it is as good as new for a long time.

He paused,

There was a little doubt in his tone: "It's this "White Ape Offering Fruit", I just heard the shopkeeper mention it, I only said that it is because the white ape has a long life, and it is a longevity fruit, which has the meaning of blessing and longevity. But when I really saw this picture, I realized that there seemed to be an allusion in it, and I was lonely and unheard, I wonder if the shopkeeper can solve my confusion?"

"Hey! Guest officer, is this going to be a little old man in the school? Since you know about the four-colored longevity fruit, how can you not know the allusion of the white ape's offering fruit?"

The shopkeeper laughed, and explained while he was busy: "The white ape in this painting is not an ordinary person, the legend is that he is a true immortal who has attained the Tao, called Baiyun Cave Jun. This ape immortal knelt on the ground and offered the fruit for the purpose of apprenticeship and learning, and the fruit of the sacrifice was this four-colored longevity fruit."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be interested, and immediately asked, "Who is this fairy he is apprenticed to?"

I didn't want to be the shopkeeper but shook my head: "The goddess immortal worshiped by the ape fairy is naturally even better, there are a lot of things about its identity, there are three kinds of Xiao Lao'er that Xiao Lao'er has heard of alone, some people say that he is the biological mother of the Yan Emperor, some people say that he is the eldest disciple under the Yin Lord's seat, and some people say that he is a holy master of the military family, but the name of this goddess immortal is rarely known, at least Xiao Lao'er has never heard anyone mention it."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper had put the four-color longevity fruit in place, and decorated it with red silk to add a bit of festivity.

The young man consciously took the food box, waited for Qi Jingzhi to meet the money, and led him all the way back to the blacksmith shop.

The four ingots of iron are ready to stop, they don't take up much space, but they are extremely heavy to start.

Although Qi Jingzhi didn't know how to inspect this kind of high-grade iron material, he could tell the good from the bad with a knife all the year round, and he paid the bill happily after a little careful consideration, and almost exhausted the money left by Jiao Yulang, most of which was used on the ingot of East China Sea iron, which can be called more expensive than gold.

The young man was very attentive, packed the four ingots of iron in the coarse cloth pocket in the blacksmith's shop, and sent Qi Jing back to the main gate of Jiao's Beppu with a cloth bag in one hand and a wooden box in the other.

Qi Jingzhi thanked him solemnly, and didn't care about the surprised eyes of the people in Beppu, and went back to the small courtyard where he lived with the things he bought.

He dropped the bolt of the door, closed the doors and windows of the house one by one, took out the four iron ingots, and placed them on the table in turn.

The young man sat at the table and sighed softly, "Tiger Chan, Tiger Chan, you are too badly injured for ordinary blacksmiths to repair, so you can only return to the furnace and reforge it, it is too dangerous."

"Although Jiao Yulang once mentioned that a true supernatural person can refine spiritual weapons, it is a pity that his brother's realm is low, and he doesn't have such a big face to ask someone to reshape the blade for you. There is only one way to try for my brother......

With that, Qi Jingzhi's throat shook, and then he opened his mouth violently, spewing out a cloud of colorful aura.

Without waiting for this multicolored aura to unfold, they reached out and grabbed it with a shake, and then unfolded it into a thin cloth of aura.

Qi Jingzhi wrapped the colorful spirit cloth around his body, and then went against the law of closing his mind, and sympathized with heaven and earth with all his heart to explore the endless secrets of the creator.

The next moment, he only felt a chill in his eyebrows, as if a hole had been opened, and his five senses suddenly enlarged, rapidly extending outward.

Qi Jingzhi was not very skilled at condensing his spiritual sense, and he tried his best to make it fall to the four ingots of iron on the table in front of him, and he immediately noticed the difference.

In his induction, these four ingots of iron are faintly golden spiritual light through, the spiritual light of the East China Sea Immersion Iron is the most prosperous, the burnt steel and the flower pin are about the same, about fifty percent of the East China Sea Immersion Iron, and the spiritual light in the refined iron is obviously much darker, only one percent of the East China Sea Immersion Iron.

On the contrary, the aura in the fine iron is the most lively and agile, and the colorful aura is the closest, the aura of burnt steel and flower pin will be much more condensed and sluggish, as for the East China Sea Sinking Iron, its aura is almost solidified, Qi Jingzhi glanced at it a few times, and a heart became heavy.

He thought for a moment, and stretched out his left hand to grasp the ingot of fine iron, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't grab the spiritual light in it.

After a while, Qi Jingzhi's forehead was already sweating.

He put down the iron ingot, gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then pulled out the ox ear sharp knife, and without hesitation, stabbed the tip of the knife on the tip of his left index finger.

A drop of crimson blood immediately poured out.

Qi Jingzhi pressed the tip of his index finger on the refined iron ingot, and once again carefully sensed the golden aura in it.

After a moment, he thoughtfully withdrew his left hand, stabbed each of the other four fingers, wrapped the iron ingot in the bloody five fingers, and closed his eyes.

The young man was silent for a long time, and suddenly his five fingers were like hooks, and he pulled back vigorously.

Under the central coordination of the angry crane's heart, Qi Jingzhi has used all his strength, and seems to be sitting on the stool safely, but in fact, his legs have already followed the two-word formula of the crane method, rising and falling with a very small amplitude, and even penetrating the lumbar spine and left arm with the strength of washing wings.

With Qi Jingzhi's full strength, the golden aura in the refined iron ingot was really pulled out by him.

It's just that before he had time to rejoice, that trace of golden spiritual light suddenly broke off, Qi Jingzhi was caught off guard, and was taken by his own strength, and the whole person fell backwards.

At the same time, a broken golden aura flew around the fingers of his left hand, and immediately seemed to be attracted by something, and quickly sank into the wound of his index finger.
