Chapter 11: The Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion
Knowing that refining magic weapons is also a money-burning job, at least a certain amount of capital is required, Xia Jiang couldn't help but be embarrassed, he was the ninth prince, and he was actually so poor.
Just when Xia Jiang was embarrassed at this moment, Xianzhu's voice sounded on the side, and she had already settled the account.
"There are three third-grade and seventy second-grade spars. Xian Zhu said, handing the bill to Xia Jiang.
Xia Jiang knew that the coins of this world were a kind of spar, a universal basic refining material, not only as currency, but also for refining magic weapons.
The grade of the spar is the same as that of the magic weapon, and the ordinary one is divided into ten grades, and one hundred advances between each grade, that is to say, a second-grade spar is equal to one hundred first-grade spars. What is a little special in this is that all super-grade spars are equivalent to higher-grade spars, such as a super-grade spar, which is equivalent to the value of a quasi-second-grade spar.
It's the same with magic weapons.
After taking the bill, Xia Jiang looked at it casually, then handed it to Xian Zhu, and said, "Okay, you go and put one of those people back, give this to him, just say what this prince means, and ask the third prince to send someone to send the compensation quickly." โ
Xian Zhu listened, and looked at Xia Jiang with some disbelief, she knew that this kind of thing was not a joke, it was tantamount to openly tearing his face with the third prince, this kind of thing was expected to be unknown to his ninth prince, but under observation, she saw that Xia Jiang did not have the slightest hesitation on his face.
After giving the order to go out, Xia Jiang immediately signaled to go out, and now he had to hurry up and get himself a magic weapon that was convenient for cultivation and quickly improve his cultivation.
Like this country, not only the territory of his Nine Princes' Mansion is huge, but the entire royal palace is even more huge, which is divided into the inner palace and the outer palace, the inner palace is the exclusive area of his father, and the outer palace is the territory of their princes and princesses.
Originally, the entire inner and outer palaces were also equivalent to a metropolis, and all the materials for cultivation were readily available, but Xia Jiang didn't patronize them, he would rather spend more time going out.
He's going out to see the world.
The two horses quickly galloped out of the territory of the Nine Kings' Mansion.
In about half an hour, Xia Jiang completely left the territory of the palace and entered a loose jungle, which was a safe buffer zone for the palace territory, an area specially set up to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies.
Leaving the jungle area, with the help of the high terrain, Xia Jiang suddenly saw countless towering pavilions, streets and figures, compared with the palace, it was even more lively and vibrant.
In his memory, one of the places he frequented was Wanbao Pavilion.
Wanbao Pavilion is the most extensive magic weapon market in the entire Xia Kingdom, or more precisely, a trading platform, which not only sells magic weapons, but also makes acquisitions, or regularly opens auction venues.
Xia Jiang is not very familiar with the auction, for him, as long as the magic weapon is enough, the trickle will flow for a long time, and the things that appear at the auction are not something he can hope for.
Not to mention now, he was only here to buy some low-grade materials.
Entering it, Xia Jiang immediately saw the impression of a labyrinth-like architectural pattern, because of privacy reasons, the internal structure of this Wanbao Pavilion is composed of many small compartments, and each transaction is carried out in a compartment.
However, the cubicles are also hierarchical, and the entrance to the outer cubicle is the lowest-level trading service, which is also the place he frequents.
Xia Jiang was unobtrusive, and soon entered an open entrance, inside was a separate counter, and a short and fat middle-aged man immediately greeted and asked.
Handing the prepared material sheet to the other party, Xia Jiang began to observe this place carefully. I found that just one counter, there are as many as 10,000 kinds of magic weapons and materials on display, or only low-end, the value adds up to amazing, if it is all low-end counters, plus high-end counters, and even warehouses?
Xia Jiang used to secretly think that he didn't know who the owner of this Wanbao Pavilion was, and that the wealth that this person possessed was only afraid that it would exceed their palace, and that his father, the king, was really rich enough to rival the country.
In this world of cultivating by magic weapons, who doesn't want to have endless wealth, so I don't know how many people want to have a relationship with the owner of this Wanbao Pavilion, but they are all wishful thinking, and they don't even know who the other party is, the other party seems to be extremely mysterious, and Xia Jiang doesn't know.
That's right, Xia Jiang also wants to know the owner of this Wanbao Pavilion, but he is also a daydream, and he is a waste material like him who eats magic weapons and has almost a bottomless pit, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to understand the other party.
But now it was different, just after he learned that he could refine magic weapons, he felt that he really had a chance to meet the master of this Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion.
It is necessary to meet the most recent rich man in this world, and it will be of great help to him in his future development!
Thinking about it, the shopkeeper had already helped him wrap a qiฤ material, but quoted a price that surprised him a little.
Almost at the moment when the price was quoted, the shopkeeper seemed to see Xia Jiang's expression change, and suddenly said: "Customers don't need to be surprised, most of these materials have already increased in price, and you are a regular customer of our store, and you have already given a little discount!"
Listening to the other party's explanation, if it was before, Xia Jiang would definitely have to theorize fiercely, but now he remained silent, only immediately paid almost all the spars on his body, and then turned to leave.
"What the is this? These inferior materials are sold so expensive, four or five times more expensive than before!"
Sure enough, as soon as he walked out, Xia Jiang heard someone complaining.
"It's not, just because those damn neighboring countries are restless and fighting all year round, we can't buy magic weapons, otherwise even if the price increases, it will be at most doubled. โ
Although Xia Jiang rarely goes out, he also knows that the surrounding small countries are fighting, and he spares no effort to purchase magic weapon materials from some slightly larger countries, including their Xia Kingdom, which is also the reason for the unreasonable price increase of their magic weapons.
In this world, the struggle between people is to rely on their own strength, but after all, they can't escape the magic weapon assistance, and the fight between countries is even more so, the competition is attrition, who has more soldiers and more generals, and the magic weapon is sufficient, who is the boss.
If one day their Xia Kingdom goes to war with Beiguo, they must also ensure that they have enough troops and magic weapons, otherwise they will be in danger of losing their country, and the battle in this world has always been fierce.
Leaving Wanbao Pavilion, Xia Jiang turned and walked towards a blacksmith shop not far away.
Although it is only a blacksmith shop, it also has a sign with the word "treasure", which is a shop pรน under Wanbao Pavilion, and there are some scattered general shops in the surrounding area, all of which belong to Wanbao Pavilion.
But even if the iron shop is under the name of Wanbao Pavilion, it has nothing to do with magic weapons, and what is sold in it is just some civilian tools, such as iron sickles, hammers, iron swords, axes, etc., these things, even low-level hunters will not use them.
But there is no way, Xia Jiang is poor now, he can barely afford the basic materials for refining magic weapons, but he can't afford to buy the main materials, even if it is just a broken sword of the first grade.
You must know that a quasi-first-grade remnant is at least hundreds of first-grade crystals, and it looks a little better, it is a second-grade crystal, and now he has a bunch of first-grade crystals in his hand, and it is worth the surrounding war, so the price is even higher, so don't even think about it.
But although this main material is expensive, it also has its reason, because when this thing is in the hands of the refiner, it can become a magic weapon of quasi-first grade or genuine grade in the blink of an eye, and the price can be increased by about ten times.
In this world, it is common sense that the price of defective products and finished products is at least ten times different.
This was also the reason why Xia Jiang had to be excited when he heard that he could actually become a refiner.
When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, Xia Jiang's eyes kept searching, and soon he locked on an iron weapon that was hung high, which was a long knife, but at first glance it looked like a sword.
"Uncle, can you help me improve this knife and open the other side as well......" Xia Jiang pointed to the knife.
There were two men in the blacksmith's shop, an old man and a young apprentice, dressed in coats, and they were burning iron on one side.
Although it was a small business, the old man had a good attitude, immediately put down the utensils and came over, looked at the knife pointed by Xia Jiang, and immediately said: "Do you want to open the front on both sides?
Xia Jiang didn't care, just nodded and said, "It's okay, chopping trees, practicing swords, and killing two birds with one stone!" He played a clever trick, making people think that it was for children, and not making people suspect that it was used by himself, it was too embarrassing.
As soon as the old man heard it, he understood that he was going to make a sword, but he suddenly showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I still have a few iron swords here, but they are a little bigger, I don't know if the guest officer can look at it!"
What he said made Xia Jiang a little embarrassed, he couldn't help but look inside, and sure enough, there were a few iron swords aside, but they looked slightly worse.
"If it's for children, it's a little bigger, and if the guest officer thinks it's okay, the old man will immediately forge it?" said the old man, picking out one of them.
Xia Jiang looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's not big, let's forge those handfuls, I want them!"
Hearing Xia Jiang so refreshing, the old man immediately called out to his apprentice, and the two began to open their bows left and right, and immediately forged a few big iron swords that were used as scrap iron.
The master and apprentice slammed the iron, but Xia Jiang did not leave, but watched it seriously for nearly an hour, because, in this viewing, the action of wielding the hammer and the collision of power made his blood become active.
For nearly an hour, the efforts of the two of them finally brought out a few very good-looking big iron swords, but what Xia Jiang didn't expect was that there were a total of four iron swords, and the old man only asked for twenty first-grade spars.
Listening to the old man's asking price and looking at the sweat of the other party, Xia Jiang became more aware of the horror of the refiner, compared with the old blacksmith's worth, it was simply a heaven and an underground!
gave all the remaining spars to the old man, Xia Jiang didn't explain much, and immediately got on the horse and returned.
Leaving Wanbao Pavilion and leaving the streets, Xia Jiang galloped, jumped over the slopes of the mountains, the jungles, returned to the palace territory, and finally stopped in front of the Nine Princes' Mansion.
Xia Jiang barely stopped, and immediately entered his secret cultivation ground and began his next secret cultivation-refining weapon.
