Chapter 61: The Heart of Red Flame is sold
"Shopkeeper Chen, can you give me a detailed introduction to this piece of Red Flame Heart?" exhaled, Xiao Yao said excitedly.
Seeing Xiao Yao's first initiative to ask, Shopkeeper Chen could only barely squeeze out a smile, and reluctantly introduced: "The heart of red flame as the name suggests is a metal substance extracted from it after cooling with volcanic lava, although lava rock is not rare, but the refining process is particularly cumbersome, a full five thousand catties of lava rock can barely refine about ten catties of red flame heart, and after we measure this metal not only has high density and good toughness, but also has a singular function is to repel any metal." ”
"Repel any metal?" Xiao Yao muttered dumbfounded.
"That's right, any metal that wants to get close to the heart of Chiyan will be automatically bounced away, we have done experiments, if you want to force other metals close to Chiyanzhi, you can only do it with the full strength of the big star powerhouse in the martial arts cultivation period. ”
After finishing speaking, Shopkeeper Chen held the heart of Chiyan in both hands and leaned next to a piece of metal.
"Huh~"
When the Heart of Red Flame was close to a distance of about three inches, the piece of metal unexpectedly moved away.
His throat rolled, and Xiao Yao said in shock: "Looking at it this way, if you use the heart of Chiyan to create a big sword, wouldn't it become a nightmare for a strong person in the martial arts cultivation period?"
Shopkeeper Chen smiled dryly and said: "The weight of one pound of Chiyan's heart is on top of the weight of ten catties of other metals, and a big knife will cost forty or fifty catties to say the least, if it is built with the heart of Chiyan, it is four or five hundred catties, who would use such a heavy broadsword to fight the enemy." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yao couldn't help but pick up the heart of Chiyan and checked it, and sure enough, this fist-sized heart of Chiyan was quite heavy, and it had to weigh fifty or sixty catties to say the least.
After calming down, Xiao Yao smiled and said, "I don't know what the price of Chiyan Heart is?"
"A thousand taels of silver per catty. Shopkeeper Chen said.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yao was dumbfounded, wouldn't it cost fifty or sixty thousand silver to buy such a big Chiyan Heart, and this price seemed to be close to the sky-high price.
"Childe, if you buy sincerely, I can give you a minimum price, nine hundred taels of silver per catty. Shopkeeper Chen said with interest.
Xiao Yao shook his head with a wry smile, and reluctantly put Chiyan's heart on the counter.
"I'm sorry, but I can't get that much silver. Xiao Yao said lightly.
"It doesn't matter, I can't do business this time, maybe I can do it next time. ”
Shopkeeper Chen didn't say anything, he already knew in his heart that the young man in front of him couldn't afford this expensive price at all, but seeing that the young man was sincere, he patiently talked a little more.
Xiao Yao bent over, then turned around and walked out.
"Hmph, I don't even have five thousand taels of silver, and I still want to fight the idea of Chiyan's heart, I'm really convinced. ”
When Xiao Yao passed by, the young man glanced at him, with a look of disdain and ridicule, obviously being counted down by the shopkeeper, and he was holding back the evil fire in his heart.
His body stiffened slightly, Xiao Yao stopped, turned his head to look at the young man, and said uncertainly, "What did you just say?"
This question made the young man mistakenly think that Xiao Yao was deliberately finding fault, and he suddenly became angry, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and directly opened his mouth to shoot back: "Do you think the Chen family's shop is used by you for entertainment, it's okay to pretend to be half of the garlic." ”
"I asked you what you said before?" Xiao Yao asked.
"I'm still not convinced, I said that if you don't even have five thousand taels of silver, don't fight the idea of Chiyan's heart. The young man rolled up his sleeves and said angrily.
Xiao Yao was startled, pushed the guy away, hurriedly returned to the store, and said in a trembling voice: "Shopkeeper Chen, didn't you say that this Chiyan Heart costs fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, how did it become five thousand taels of silver in an instant?"
"Childe, when did the old man say that he would spend fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver?" asked the shopkeeper Chen suspiciously.
"This Chiyan Heart weighs fifty or sixty catties to say the least, so isn't it fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver?" Xiao Yao said.
"Childe must have misunderstood, we sell Chiyan Heart according to the weight of ordinary metal, one catty is ten catties, and in turn fifty catties is five catties. Shopkeeper Chen explained.
"Just now, you said it yourself, nine hundred taels of silver per catty, and it was sold!"
Xiao Yao took out five silver tickets from his arms and handed them over.
"Uh~"
Shopkeeper Chen was dumbfounded, petrified in place.
Seeing this, Xiao Yao hurriedly picked up Chiyan's heart, for fear that Shopkeeper Chen would regret it and snatch it back.
After a while, Shopkeeper Chen came back to his senses, still not believing that such a huge amount of business could be so easily closed with the young man in front of him.
"The old man has seen what it means to be a real person and not show his face. Taking a deep breath, Shopkeeper Chen said.
"This is also thanks to the thoughtful service of the shopkeeper Chen, otherwise, I would have to miss Chiyan's heart. Xiao Yao said with a smile.
Hearing this, the young man sat on the ground, and said that such a big deal was ruined in his hands.
After completing the transaction procedures, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
It was rare to meet such a big customer, so the shopkeeper Chen naturally couldn't miss the etiquette, and hurriedly invited Xiao Yao into the inner room with a smiling face.
After the two of them sat down, it didn't take long for the young man to brew a pot of fine tea, and then he stood aside and waited carefully, and his respectful attitude was like a difference between heaven and earth compared to before.
Taking a sip of tea, Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said, "May I ask Childe, how do you want to build this war halberd?"
"The Heart of Red Flame is so big in total, except for creating a pair of meniscus blades, I don't dare to expect to change anything in other parts, after all, the materials are limited. Xiao Yao said.
"That's true, as far as this piece is concerned, it took our Chen family half a year to refine it, even if the son wants to buy it, we can't get it in stock. Shopkeeper Chen said.
Stunned, Xiao Yao said, "With the strength of the Chen family, why don't you refine more?"
"There is no price, now that the world is chaotic, who would be willing to spend so much silver to build weapons, and the real powerhouses of the Great Martial Age can't look down on this kind of metal at all, their arms are thousands of catties of power, and the weapons created by the heart of Chiyan are simply useless to them. Shopkeeper Chen said helplessly.
Xiao Yao nodded, although what Shopkeeper Chen said was true, he had never considered hitting the stone with an egg to be an enemy of the strong man in the Great Martial Stage.
"I suddenly remembered a very important thing, the Heart of Red Flame has the function of repelling metal, how can I make it fuse with the war halberd?" Xiao Yao asked.
"I don't know much about this, but I can introduce you to a brilliant master blacksmith who can achieve a perfect blend with his blacksmithing skills. Shopkeeper Chen smiled.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen!" Xiao Yao said.
Shopkeeper Chen wrote an address on a piece of paper and handed it to Xiao Yao, instructing: "This blacksmith's name is Tai June, but his temper is a little weird, as for whether he can help you forge weapons, it depends on the creation." ”
Xiao Yao nodded, and he was relieved in his heart, but all some powerful people have capital to be proud of, such as the master's fiery personality is a good example.
"After chatting for so long, I still don't know how the son is?" said the shopkeeper Chen.
"My name is Zimang. Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Oh, Purple Mang. ”
Suddenly, Shopkeeper Chen's body stiffened, looked at Xiao Yao in disbelief, and said in disbelief: "You are the Zimang who brought down the bandits in Black Dragon Mountain." ”
