Volume 1 Entering the Sect Chapter 65 The Great Changes of the Xu Family
A few days later, Xiao An came to Qishifang City early and started his first "stall".
There were very few items on Xiao An's stall, only three Spirit Gathering Array Plates and a few daggers of different sizes, which were not only different in size, but also had different formations carved inside.
One of the most inconspicuous daggers depicts three formations, namely "turning gold", "sharp", and one is "hidden".
The magic weapons of the weapon class will be engraved with the "gold" formation, and all the spiritual power of other attributes that the monk enters into the magic weapon will be converted into metallic spiritual power, which can significantly improve the strength of the weapon itself.
And the "sharp" formation method is to transform the metallic spiritual power into a sharp "sword", so that the dagger has amazing destructive power.
The "hidden" formation does not hide the shape of the dagger, but hides the dagger's blade and the sound of the dagger when it is swiped at high speed. For Qi Refining Stage cultivators who relied on their sight and hearing to confirm the location of the magic weapon, a dagger with a concealment formation was definitely a fine product.
Being able to depict two formations in a dagger is considered a qualified refiner.
The power of the magic weapon involves many aspects, such as the grade of materials, the processing of materials, the level of formation depiction, the quality of the formation itself, and the connection of the formation, etc., any flaw has a significant impact on the quality of the magic weapon.
Although the two formations of "turning gold" and "sharpness" are the most used in weapons and magic weapons, the two formations circulating in the market are the most basic formations.
For refiners with inheritance, the two formations they master are much more complicated than the basic formations, and they even have different strengthening parts for different purposes, which are the secrets of the refiners.
Xiao An was confident that with just these daggers, his refining level had already surpassed that of many cultivators.
Although limited by his own cultivation, Xiao An could only refine magic weapons in the middle stage of qi refining. However, most of the cultivators in the cultivation world are in the middle stage of Qi refining, so magic weapons of this level are also the easiest to sell.
"How many spirit stones are the best daggers?" A man with a long scar on his face came to Xiao An's stall, just glanced at Xiao An's stall, with a disappointed look in his eyes, he wanted to turn his head and leave, but he asked unconsciously.
"Forty-five spirit stones. Xiao An replied as he picked up an inconspicuous dagger and handed it to the monk.
"Are you using me as a mallet?" The man had a strong aura of slaughter, and the scars on his face were like centipedes that wanted to choose people to eat.
Mu Ningjie was already a little angry in his heart, but when he heard the price of the dagger again, he felt that the stall owner regarded him as a mallet who didn't know anything, and the anger in his heart suddenly jumped.
Xiao An handed over an extremely ordinary-looking open-edged dagger, the entire dagger was gray-black, and the knife body of the dagger was pitted and uneven.
The man with the scar on his face was named Mu Ningjie, and he was originally a member of a team of demon beast hunters, and these members were all loose cultivators.
A few days ago, this team took on a task, the employer needs a pair of fangs in the mouth of the bloodtooth demon pig in the late stage of the spirit induction, as long as a pair of fangs in the mouth of the demon beast is handed in, you can get a considerable amount of gratuity.
For this reason, it took a long time for several people to find a blood-toothed demon pig in the late stage of spirit attraction thousands of miles west of Qishifang City, but because they underestimated this demon beast, they were escaped from the encirclement by this demon beast during the siege.
Especially the dagger magic weapon that he had used for many years was broken by the blood-red fangs of this demon beast, but fortunately he dodged in time, otherwise he would have been disemboweled. It's a pity that his dagger was from the hand of a famous local refiner.
Several other people are currently looking for the whereabouts of this demon beast, and they don't have the magic weapon in their hands, so they come to this market to try their luck.
I had heard before I came that the refining level of the Xu family in this city was okay, but I didn't expect it to be open today. I also visited several other shops that sold magic weapons, but there were no daggers that could be seen.
This monk (according to the description of middle-aged, perennial hunting demon beasts) is carrying a long sword, and there is a strong aura of slaughter on his body, but this monk has a casual expression on his face, obviously not optimistic about this dagger.
"Thirty-five spirit stones. Xiao An replied as he handed the dagger to the monk.
When the monk injected his spiritual power into the dagger, he saw that the blade of the dagger gradually formed a knife that was thinner than paper but full of texture.
After obtaining Xiao An's consent, the young man took out an unknown ore from his pocket, and slowly leaned over with the dagger, the dagger did not pause at all, and directly cut the ore in half.
A look of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, and he happily took out the spirit stone to buy this magic weapon, "Today, the Xu family's shop is not open, and I couldn't buy a suitable long sword, and I thought that I would be able to buy a good dagger for nothing." ”
Xiao An's business is good, and after a while, he sold the items, and Xiao An also had more than 100 spirit stones in his pocket, which made Xiao An smile.
Although Xiao An had just obtained four or five hundred spirit stones from the middle-aged monk's storage bag, now that the spirit stones on his body had reached thousands again, if the price of the refining furnace and spiritual fire was added, Xiao An's worth definitely exceeded that of most foundation building stage monks.
But who knows, Xiao An, who has hundreds of thousands of spirit stone assets at this time, is living a life beyond his means, worrying about how to earn spirit stones every day, and today he has earned more than 200 spirit stones, which makes Xiao Anzhong very happy, and he can finally "feed" himself.
At this moment, a group of seven or eight people hurriedly walked outside the market, and after a while, Xiao An saw three or four groups of people passing in front of his stall.
Before Xiao An could react, two earth-shattering noises suddenly sounded in the city, and even the ground trembled violently. Xiao An hurriedly looked in the direction of the loud noise, and saw that the flames were rising to the sky in a mansion covering an extremely large area in Fang City, and the entire compound had turned into a sea of fire.
"The Xu family is on fire!" Many people around know that the mansion is the Xu family, one of the three owners of this city.
Fortunately, after the two loud bangs, there was no loud noise in the courtyard of the Xu family's house, only the raging fire kept burning.
At this time, there were already many monks gathered in front of the Xu family's house, and the people standing at the front were the Lin family master and the Han family master, and behind the two were the monks who maintained the order of the Fang market.
Everyone had the heart to step forward to put out the fire, but they found that the entire mansion had been shrouded in an unknown formation, and they couldn't break the formation for a while.
After the destruction of the Shadow Hall Monk of the Wuji Sect, the three major families of Qishifang City began to become suspicious of each other.
But seeing that the Xu family, who had been with each other for many years, turned into a sea of fire, the head of the Han family looked sad, "The four major families that established Fang City have really suffered many disasters in recent years. First the head of the Shen family disappeared, then the Shen family declined, and now the Xu family has also suffered a sudden accident, alas!"
"Master Han, it's too early to draw conclusions. Haven't you noticed that the fire has been burning for a while, but not a single disciple of the Xu family has appeared?" The Lin family master stared at the fire in front of him and said with a suspicious face.
At this time, a young monk who maintained order in the Fang City appeared from a distance and trotted all the way to the Lin family master and the Han family master, and respectfully clasped his fists and saluted the two family masters, "Disciple Lin Hao, meet the two family masters." ”
The Lin family master looked serious, "Lin Hao, what happened when you were on duty with the disciples of the Xu family last night?"
Lin Hao was resting in his residence, but he woke up when the loud noise occurred, and when he saw the raging fire of the Xu family, he knew that last night's incident must have been planned by the Xu family.
"The head of the family, at three o'clock last night, about 30 people from the Xu family left Fang City. After saying this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Lin Hao's back.
It turned out that when Lin Hao and the disciples of the Xu family were guarding the ban in Fang City last night, the disciples of the Xu family took out a jar of spiritual wine and a few appetizers, and the two of them began to drink.
The location of Qishifang City is a little remote, and it used to happen that monsters often attacked Fang City at night. In recent years, however, this kind of thing has become less and less, and it is not uncommon for monks on duty at night to be more free and prepare drinks.
And the two monks on duty each carry a token that controls the ban in Fang City, and only when the two tokens are combined can the ban be opened silently.
Under the intentional flattery of the disciples of the Xu family, Lin Hao was drunk after a while.
Fortunately, Lin Hao's token was not put in his arms, but was put on his belt with a rope, and when the Xu family disciple took the token, he accidentally alarmed the sleeping Lin Hao.
Although Lin Hao was only awake for a moment, he happened to hear the Xu family disciple mention the number of people in the city when he was talking to the other party.
After hearing this, Lin Hao fell into a deep sleep again, if he hadn't heard about the great changes in the Xu family, Lin Hao wouldn't have thought of this at all.
The head of the Lin family snorted coldly, "Hmph! If you don't report it, you will be punished to go to the "Demon Hunting Team" to perform a two-year mission." ”
"Thank you for the great grace of the family master!" Lin Hao's face suddenly turned snow-white.
The Lin family has no inheritance in terms of "Dan, Fu, Array, and Weapon", but has an advantage in fighting methods, so the disciples of the Lin family must participate in the action of "hunting demon beasts" every three months. And Lin Hao's hunting of demon beasts that has now been punished for two years is definitely a task of nine deaths.
The Han family master's face also became gloomy after listening to Lin Hao's words, and the Lin family master's face was also not good-looking.
"Lin Rui come here. The Lin family master called out to a Lin family disciple behind him.
"You and the disciples of the Han family go to the Xu family's shop together, if the door is closed, smash it open directly, and report the current situation of the magic weapons in the store clearly. After the Lin family master finished speaking, he looked at the Han family master.
The head of the Han family hurriedly ordered a disciple of his own and walked towards the Xu family's shop with the Lin family's disciple.
Just as the two family masters were anxiously waiting, two monks suddenly ran quickly, "Family master, it's not good, the earth fire has suddenly been extinguished!"
The head of the Han family and the head of the Lin family were shocked when they heard the news, and hurriedly rushed to their own fire.
The once prosperous Xu family is now a scorched earth, although the fire has almost been extinguished, but many places can still see curling green smoke. But there were no bodies of the victims in the entire mansion, and even the Xu family's treasury was left with only some cheap refining materials that were inconvenient to carry.
The head of the Lin family and the head of the Han family were standing near the former Xu family's heavy refining room, and the refining room made of refractory material "Polar Cold Stone" had been blown up beyond recognition.
The out-of-control ground fire rose three or four zhang high, and then thinking that their own ground fire had been completely cool, the Lin family master and the Han family master were so angry that their faces turned pale.
This land fire is of great significance to these families, and the founding heads of the four major families settled down here, and it is by relying on the earth fire that they gradually grow.
Although there are a total of six ground fire exits in Qishifang City, these six exits are all the differentiation of the same ground fire, and the Xu family blew up their own ground fire, and also destroyed the ground fire of the Han and Lin families.
"Old man Xu, if you want to go, why do you want to destroy the earth fire, isn't this to put my Han family to death?" The Han family's angry lips trembled, the Han family mainly relies on alchemy, and it is inseparable from the earth fire at all.
