Chapter 123: Three Hundred Years of Sword Practice
Of course, Ye Xiaobai knew what Cao Yan wanted to say.
It was precisely because he knew that he interrupted Cao Yan's words repeatedly.
After all, this artifact "Zhenyue" is the first artifact he forged, and it is a gift he prepared for his father-in-law, which is of great significance.
It's a pity that Cao Yan's comprehension is too low, and he doesn't seem to understand Ye Xiaobai's meaning.
I saw Cao Yan take a deep breath and said earnestly: "The value of the artifact, I don't think I need to say more, Deacon Ye should be very clear." To put it mildly, the puppet is innocent and guilty, with your ability, even if you hold the artifact, you can't grasp it, which is not a good thing for you. β
After a pause, Cao Yan continued: "Rather than this, it is better to sell this artifact to me." I promise to offer a suitable price, and I will definitely not let you lose. β
Now that Cao Yan has a showdown, Ye Xiaobai doesn't pretend anymore.
"Thank you Vice Sect Master Cao for your kindness."
Ye Xiaobai said: "But I didn't think about keeping this artifact for myself, but planning to give it away." β
"Giving it away?"
Cao Yan was a little unbelievable, the value of the artifact was immeasurable, who was willing to give it away?
Ye Xiaobai nodded and said, "This artifact is a gift I prepared for the King of the Barbarians. β
Cao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then frowned slightly: "The Zhenbarian King does lack a weapon to take advantage of, but are you really willing to give away the artifact?" β
"What, the Zhenban King is my father-in-law." Ye Xiaobai coughed dryly, "It's understandable that the son-in-law gave his father-in-law a big gift, right?" β
Cao Yan was silent, he really didn't expect that Ye Xiaobai had only been in the capital for less than half a month, and he had taken down all the Ziyi county lords, this efficiency was simply no one.
But even so, Cao Yan couldn't believe that Ye Xiaobai was really willing to give away an artifact.
He glanced at Ye Xiaobai deeply: "I can pay 200,000 taels of gold to buy you this artifact." β
200,000 taels of gold!
Ye Xiaobai's breathing was a little short, it was not that he had never seen 200,000 taels of gold, but the problem was that he had never obtained such a large sum of gold at one time, and for a moment, he was really moved.
Seeing Ye Xiaobai's hesitation, Cao Yan gritted his teeth and immediately increased the price: "250,000 taels of gold!" Deacon Ye, I have been practicing knives for three hundred years, but I don't have a magic knife in my hand, this artifact Zhenyue has a fate with me at a glance, I really like it! As long as you give me this artifact, 250,000 taels of gold will be yours immediately! β
Ye Xiaobai shook his head and said with difficulty: "I'm sorry......"
"250,000 taels of gold is already my limit...... Cao Yan frowned, "If you allow the debt, I can also pay 300,000 taels ......of gold, and I can give you an IOU for the 50,000 taels that are missing, and I will definitely pay it back within ten years."
"Deputy Sect Master Cao misunderstood, I'm not too little."
Ye Xiaobai said: "This artifact was specially forged by me for my father-in-law, and from the moment it was born, it was already destined that its owner could only be my father-in-law." But...... If Deputy Sect Master Cao really needs an artifact, I can tailor and forge an artifact for Deputy Sect Master Cao. β
Left and right is just a matter of releasing another task, so why make it so complicated?
However, when Cao Yan heard this, he thought that Ye Xiaobai was perfunctory: "Tailor-made forging an artifact? Deacon Ye, you don't want to sell this artifact, I can understand it, there is no need to prevaricate me with such words. β
If it weren't for Ye Xiaobai being a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect and having a special identity, Cao Yan would have robbed it a long time ago, how could he tell him so much?
Shi Zhenxiang and several refiners kept their mouths shut and stayed aside.
For fear of saying the wrong thing and getting angry.
"Prevarication? Deputy Sect Master Cao looked down on me too much. Ye Xiaobai said lightly: "It's just forging an artifact, what's so difficult about this?" You just need to tell me your requirements, and I will forge an artifact for you immediately, and if you can't forge it, then I will sell this artifact Zhenyue directly to you. β
Ye Xiaobai is a typical eater of soft rather than hard.
If Cao Yan put on the shelf of the deputy sect master at the beginning, suppressed people with power, forced him to hand over the artifact, or forced him to buy it, even if he tried to consume all the gold, he would have to issue a task to Tongzi and let Tongzi teach the other party to be a man, but Cao Yan's posture was very correct, and he did not rely on his identity as the deputy sect master to mess around, Ye Xiaobai was embarrassed.
Anyway, we have to continue forging artifacts, so it's better to sell Cao Yan a favor by the way.
After all, whose money is not earned?
The God of Wealth, who took the initiative to send it to the door, how could there be a reason to refuse it?
"Really?" Cao Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
According to Ye Xiaobai's meaning, no matter whether Ye Xiaobai is successfully forged or not, he can obtain an artifact.
"You just have to say what you ask, whether you can do it or not, that's my business." Ye Xiaobai said.
"I don't have anything else to ask for, just a heavy sword." Cao Yan said: "Of course, it must be an artifact. β
Ye Xiaobai was surprised: "Didn't you use a knife?" You just said that you have been practicing knives for 300 years......"
Cao Yan said of course: "That's right, I have practiced swords for three hundred years, and I have practiced swords for four hundred years, and I can use a knife or a sword, which is very reasonable, right?" β
Ye Xiaobai was speechless.
"Don't say that I have practiced swords for three hundred years, even if I don't practice swords, as long as I can obtain the artifact Zhenyue, it is not impossible for me to abandon my sword and follow the sword." Cao Yan said: "For the sake of the artifact Zhenyue, what is the point of abandoning the sword from the knife?" Anyone who takes the slightest memory of kendo is disrespectful to the artifact Zhenyue! β
Ye Xiaobai was dumbfounded.
The old guy is really shameless, there is really no bottom line!
For the sake of the artifact, the face is gone!
"Epee, huh? Artifact, huh? No problem, I'll forge it for you now! Ye Xiaobai called out to Tongzi in his mind, "Tongzi, it's time for business!" β
[Host, please command]
Tongzi went online for the first time, and he seemed more active than Ye Xiaobai.
"You just heard Vice Sect Master Cao's request, right? Straight to dry! Ye Xiaobai said.
γPlease select a mission modeγ
"Advanced Mode."
[Mission: Forge an artifact heavy sword.] Difficulty: Advanced. Base Reward: A minimum of 500 taels of gold or equivalent (Premium Mode)]
γActivate the taskγ
"When I forge the artifact, you can watch from the side, but you must not disturb me, if the forging fails due to the interference of external factors, all the consequences will be borne by you." Ye Xiaobai reminded everyone.
Cao Yan looked at Shi Zhenxiang and a few refiners: "Did you hear that?" Whoever dares to disturb Deacon Ye Xiaobai is against me Cao Yan, and the consequences are at their own risk. β
"Tongzi, activate the mission!" Ye Xiaobai retracted his gaze and said to Tongzi.
The next moment, Tongzi took over the body and entered the custody state.
The craftsman "Ye Xiaobai" is online again!
The same face, the same pair of eyes, but the temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes, as if a different person in an instant.
