Chapter 19, Thirteen Stitches
Qi Yun touched his chin, looked at the beautiful woman's persuasion that did not seem to be fake, and groaned.
Indeed, the loose cultivation of going it alone is applicable to a short board theory.
That is, the amount of water in a barrel does not depend on the tallest piece of wood on the barrel wall, but precisely on the shortest piece on the barrel wall.
If you are a solo cultivator, you have to rely on yourself in any situation. To fight, to save your life, to escape, you have to have two brushes.
If you don't have the magic weapon at your disposal, you can't win. If you don't have a strong life-saving magic weapon, if you are destroyed, it will be a hundred.
Therefore, in the end, you have to prepare a few means of escape, in case you can't fight, you can still escape, and stay in the green mountains!
The same is true for no one who does not understand.
However, if Qi Yun can get to this point, if he can be easily moved by others, it will be impossible.
After a little silence, he decided to take a look at what this top-notch magic weapon looked like before making a decision.
The beautiful woman blinked her eyes wide, and saw that Qi Yun's attitude was very firm, and she had a spectrum in her heart. Dare to take a look when you hear this offer, there must be some money in your pocket.
"Come with me!"
She led the way in front, and Qi Yun followed.
Before, he didn't dare to linger long, but now that he was following the beautiful woman, he was much bolder, staring at the roundness with burning eyes.
After walking for a while, I came to the top of the stairs.
The beautiful woman glanced back at Qi Yun, as if she noticed his pervert-like gaze: "Guest officer first, please." ”
"Ladies first. ”
Qi Yun said seriously, people who don't know still think he is a gentleman.
But every man knew he had a purpose.
"Little villain. ”
It is impossible for a beautiful woman not to know the mind of a man, but how can she offend the guest when she opens the door. She rolled her eyes and turned to go upstairs.
Qi Yun was an old woman, and he kept a short distance from the beautiful woman and followed her upstairs.
If it was a top-down view before, then this time it is a heads-up view.
If you fall down, it must be very interesting.
Time flies so fast, if he can, Qi Yun really wants to climb the stairs for a day. It's a pity that there are only a dozen or so steps.
The beautiful woman led Qi Yun to the VIP room on the second floor, and the white color of the upstairs was different from the hall below.
Not only is the area much smaller, but also some antique tables and chairs are furnished, which are elegantly arranged, comfortable and beautiful.
In the corner of the room, there is also a precious incense burner, in which a bunch of incense is slowly burning, and wisps of green smoke are slowly wafting, filling the room with a faint fragrance.
A gentle middle-aged man, holding an ancient book and reading it carefully, looked like he had no magic at all, and was completely an ordinary person.
Qi Yun was a little dumbfounded, this place was not like a place to do business, but like the study of a large family in the mundane world.
The beautiful woman stepped forward and whispered a few words, inadvertently rolled her eyes at Qi Yun, and turned to leave.
It seems that it is not this beautiful woman with excellent demeanor who wants to negotiate with him, but a middle-aged man who is full of bookishness.
Qi Yun felt a little pity in his heart, he felt that this beautiful woman was very eye-catching, even if she looked at it for a while.
As for the time to talk about business, he will not be tempted by the beauty scheme, and will directly enter the moment of the sage, and he will never give in easily when bargaining.
The middle-aged man who was reading closed the scroll unhurriedly, and greeted him with a smile: "Liu Heyun, the shopkeeper of the Guangnan Valley branch of the Lower Wanbaolou, I don't know what Your Excellency is called. ”
"Strictly keep one. ”
Qi Yun unceremoniously used the fake name that was reported that day again. A face and a name must be from the beginning.
"It's Brother Yan, please take a seat!"
"Go, make a good Biluo Chun!" the middle-aged man led Qi Yun to sit down, and then instructed the little guy standing on the side.
"Brother Yan is coming to this building for the first time, right?" After the middle-aged man waited for Qi Yun to sit down, he began to greet politely.
Qi Yun chuckled: "Shopkeeper Liu's good eyesight, this is indeed the first time I have visited your firm. I believe that your chain stores should not only do that kind of hammer deal, right?"
Shopkeeper Liu also knew his subtext, and confidently explained: "It doesn't matter if it's the first time I come to this building."
We sincerely welcome new and old customers, as long as you are willing to come, our Wanbao Lou will definitely make Brother Tai satisfied. ”
"That's good, you have to find what you need in one house, and I don't want to go to two more for trouble. I hope that the things in your building are really good. Qi Yun skillfully spoke politely to the shopkeeper, and did not fall behind at all.
"Brother Yan can rest assured that this building has a chain in the entire Chu State, and its reputation and strength are all first-class.
If this store does not satisfy the brother, then the other shops do not need to be visited. ”
Shopkeeper Liu said unhurriedly, his tone was very loud, showing his strong confidence.
Although Qi Yun had not been in the Immortal Cultivation Realm for a long time, with his understanding, it was not difficult to deduce it with a little inference.
There is a chain in the entire Chu State, which is not easy to do.
The immortal cultivation world pays attention to the weak and the strong, if there were no forces like the three major factions standing behind them, I am afraid that people would have been chewed and eaten up a long time ago.
If that's the case, there is really no problem at all with what Shopkeeper Liu said.
It's this Wanbao Tower, who is standing behind it?
Qi Yun asked suspiciously, and there was no stupid hat to ask.
At this time, a maid in a blue cheongsam, holding a teapot and a few teacups, lifted the curtain.
Before they could get close to the two, an elegant fragrance of tea had already filled the room.
"This is a special fragrant tea made in this building, which is not easy to see in other places. Not only does it smell incomparably fragrant, but it also makes the drinker feel refreshed and refreshed. Brother Yan can taste it first. ”
The maid of the shopkeeper Liu put the tea set up, took a sip leisurely, and said with a smile.
The fragrant tea is fragrant and seems to have a miraculous effect.
Qi Yun shook his head, he was good at poisoning tea, how could he drink strangers' tea.
Even though the chain wouldn't do it for the sake of its reputation, he was reluctant to try.
"Shopkeeper Liu, tea can be drunk slowly, things can't be slow. Let's get down to business!"
"I didn't expect that Brother Tai was still an impatient, okay, please wait a while, and come down to it." ”
Shopkeeper Liu stood up with a little regret, arched his hand to Qi Yun, pushed open a small door behind the room, and entered the suite inside.
After about half a cup of tea, Shopkeeper Liu came out of the room with two boxes and placed them in front of Qi Yun.
"Listen to the people below, Brother Tai wants a top-level magic weapon in the suit. So I went to the storage room and brought two treasures that had been treasured for a long time for my brother to take a look. I hope to get into the eyes of my brother. ”
Shopkeeper Liu patted the wooden box and said with a smile.
Qi Yun's eyes lit up after hearing this, what kind of rare thing would be something that could be called a treasure by the other party, was it above expectations?
As if sensing his expectation, Shopkeeper Liu's hand was placed on the brocade box, but it was rare to become serious: "There is a sentence I have to remind Brother Tai, calm down before making a decision, don't embarrass you and me." ”
As the brocade box opened, Qi Yun felt two powerful divine senses emerging out of nowhere, staring at him deadly.
He was startled at first, but then he understood that this was the preservation measure of Wanbaolou, which was to prevent some ill-intentioned immortal cultivators from suppressing their greed when they saw the contents of the brocade box, and broke out to rob.
Shopkeeper Liu's reminder just now, "Don't embarrass you and me", that's what he said.
The consciousness paused, then vanished again.
Qi Yun's tense body also slowly relaxed, but he had another understanding of Wanbaolou's strength.
Open the door to welcome guests, all guests are available. If it could be robbed by some small people, then this business would not be able to open today.
However, if no one warns, this scholar will be in front of him, holding a treasure of great value.
That's naked temptation.
The human heart is the most unbearable temptation, and there will definitely be those who do not know the power and cannot stand the temptation to burst into trouble.
Although things may not be snatched away, business will definitely be affected every day.
Therefore, it is necessary to warn in advance before taking out things.
Shopkeeper Liu opened the wooden box and began to introduce the contents of the box to Qi Yun.
"A set of Qimen chain maces, long and bladeless, with four edges, and the double maces seem to be a set of two, but in fact each mace can be divided into four sections.
As long as you hold two handles, you can control eight prismatic iron breaks to attack your opponent at the same time, so that your opponent is unable to defend against it. ”
He pointed to a set of pale gold double hammers in the box.
Qi Yun didn't speak, reached out and picked up one, looked at it carefully for a while, and then put it down again.
Among the eighteen kinds of martial arts, the mace is also one of them, which belongs to the category of short arms, blunt weapons.
I remember that there was a person who was good at using double maces, called Qin Shubao, who was very powerful.
Qi Yun can also use this weapon skillfully, but it is obvious that the set magic weapon in the box in front of him is different from the one he used before.
I don't know what the person who refined this set of magic weapons thought about making such a strange magic weapon.
Without saying anything, he looked at another box.
Shopkeeper Liu was a little disappointed and didn't show it. Neatly open the box and continue to introduce:
"Thirteen needles of the mother and child, a very rare needle-shaped set of magic instruments. It was made from a third-order demon beast, and the hardest was thirteen fine bones, which were carefully refined.
This needle-shaped set of magic instruments, if you control one of the main needles, you can control the other twelve secondary needles in conjunction with them.
Due to the subtlety of the magic weapon, it is very difficult to detect, and any opponent will have a headache when they see it. ”
Qi Yun picked up a thin needle and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully, and his heart was amazed.
The people who use this kind of weapon in the martial arts, thinking about it, are the only ones who are red-clothed sect masters.
Martial arts in the world, only fast and not broken, only indestructible?
If it is really as easy to control as the shopkeeper said, then this set of needlework is really a good means for yin people to kill the enemy.
He made a decision in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to show it, for fear that the other party would take the opportunity to increase the price.
He put down the magic weapon in his hand and asked, "Shopkeeper Liu, what are the prices of these two magic weapons?"
"Qimen Serial Weapon, as a top-level magic weapon in a set, the price of two thousand spirit stones is very reasonable. The thirteen needles of the son and mother are also rare sets of needle-shaped magic weapons, which are even more difficult to build, and the price is two thousand five hundred spirit stones. ”
While the shopkeeper Liu quoted the price, he looked at Qi Yun with a smile, as if he was observing which one he liked and whether he could accept the price.
After all, the little brother in front of him only had five or six layers of qi refining, and it didn't look like he could come up with such a large sum of spirit stones.
Even a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining would find it difficult to come up with so much.
"Qimen Serial Weapon, said to be a set of magic weapons, in fact, it is two magic weapons to be controlled, and the prismatic subsection cannot have the effect of sharp armor piercing, and it also loses the advantage of a blunt weapon when dispersed, which is really a bit chicken. ”
Qi Yun shook his head and commented, not only to prepare for the price reduction in the future, but also to speak from his heart.
This top-notch magic weapon is not a good product at all.
The shopkeeper Liu is not worried or happy, only the one who picks the thorns represents the idea of buying.
He explained slightly: "I can't say that, after all, this is a top-notch magic weapon, and it is also a set, and it is highly functional." ”
Qi Yun didn't get too entangled with him on this magic weapon, but pointed to the thirteen-needle magic weapon and said, "This magic weapon, although it looks good, has a fatal flaw.
That is, the toughness and strength are not enough, and when you encounter other magic weapons of the same level, you will definitely be pressed and beaten. The possibility of destruction is also high, and the price is a bit high. ”
"Each has its own strengths, and you can't attack the enemy's strengths with your own shortcomings. Brother Tai is a smart person, shouldn't he know?" Shopkeeper Liu said lightly, and Qi Yun was blocked.
Indeed, this magic weapon is not to mention that it encounters anything else, even if it encounters this Qimen chain next to it, it is difficult to stand it.
However, magic weapons have their own strengths, and the thirteen needles of the son and mother are the kind of hidden sneak attack type magic weapons, and they are hard to clash with the opponent's magic weapons, so it's not that the brain is broken.
Qi Yun's statement is a bit far-fetched.
But this is more or less a weakness, if you grasp this weakness and hold on, you can suppress the price, how can Qi Yun give up.
After some stalking, the shopkeeper Liu couldn't stand it first, or he wanted to complete the business, so he took the initiative to give up the price: "Two thousand four hundred spirit stones." ”
"Two thousand two. ”
"No, it's two thousand four. ”
"Two thousand three. ”
"Two thousand four. ”
After repeating it more than a dozen times, Qi Yun shouted "two thousand four", and the shopkeeper Liu, who had been stunned by him, subconsciously shouted "two thousand three".
"Deal. ”
Qi Yun slapped the table neatly and smiled proudly.
Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had fallen into the trap, and he was not angry, but said with a wry smile: "Okay, that's the price." ”
Although the bargaining was successful, Qi Yun didn't have so many spirit stones on his body at all.
Pouring out almost all the spirit stones in the storage bag, he had no choice but to take out a few medium-grade magic weapons that were slightly valuable in the storage bag, and a surplus high-grade magic weapon.
This time, it was the other party's turn to lower the price.
A monk who practiced qi at the fifth or sixth level took out something worth more than two thousand spirit stones, and he was worth a lot of money!
Shopkeeper Liu was amazed in his heart, and had a suspicion about Qi Yun's identity.
Which family's core disciple is it?
Or is it the descendant of which old monster?
With such a little cultivation, he dares to come out with so many spirit stones, which is no less than swaggering through the market with a golden doll, and he is not afraid of being stared at and killing people to take treasures.
