Chapter Seven: Zhuo Dong, the Lonely Swordsman!
Chapter 7: Zhuo Donglai, the Lonely Swordsman!()
In the alchemy room, a gray-bearded old man was waiting in front of a stove, and a table next to him was full of various utensils. A pair of shriveled veterans were holding a medicinal herb and studying it. Seeing Lin Zong coming in, he didn't raise his head and said, "What's the matter?"
Lin Zong glanced around the room, and when he saw the label on a bottle and can, his eyes lit up, and he said respectfully: "The kid came to ask for a pair of medicines." ”
"Ask for medicine. What medicine?" Pharmacist Qian glanced up at Lin Zong. He still has the impression that this kid is serious. It's just that the brain is a little slow. I don't care at the moment.
Lin Zong pointed to the jar with the label on it, "Refining tendons and clearing bones!"
Pharmacist Qian glanced at Lin Zong unexpectedly, and sneered, "Boy." Don't blame the old man for not telling you, this 'refining muscles and clearing bones' is not something you can use. There is a rule in the family that all such precious elixirs must be taken away with the consent of the patriarch, and you can't do it yet!"
Lin Zong couldn't help but frown. He thought he would be able to buy it with some money. Now I know that the family has a long rule. In this way, it must be agreed by Lin Yuechang. But he didn't want to face Lin Yuechang now, firstly, because he had injured his son, and secondly, he couldn't let him know his situation. Now that the strength is weak, what should be kept secret must be kept secret. Thinking of this, Lin Zong's heart moved: "If you are producing medicinal materials, can Elder Qian help refine them?"
Pharmacist Qian glanced at Lin Zong unexpectedly. He also thought that Lin Zong would argue. Then talk to the patriarch to take away the 'refining tendons and clearing bones'. But he didn't want Lin Zong to prepare another medicinal herb for him to refine. He glanced at Lin Zong suspiciously, "Your kid is different from the past today." Well, it seems that he is slowly recovering. Not bad. ”
Then he thought about it and said slowly, "Although there are medicinal herbs in the family warehouse, they are still very expensive. Well, the old man offers you a list. As long as you can bring the medicinal materials, I will only charge you twenty silver to help you refine them!"
Lin Zong's heart sank. The old man clearly took the opportunity to blackmail. According to his status in the family, he can only receive a hundred dollars per month. It takes a year to make up more than one or two pieces of silver. It's not enough for a fraction of what people extort.
Profiteering, profiteering. I can't earn a tael of silver through my hard work, and people are dozens of taels per mouth. Lin Zong's heart became unbalanced.
Suddenly, his heart moved, since he was so profitable, could he learn to refine medicine?
Then he shook his head again. Now the task is to improve the strength. If you want to refine medicine, you can only do it part-time. But I don't have time right now.
Throwing away the thoughts in his mind, he took the money and the old man made a list of them. The cost of medicinal materials is nearly seventy taels, plus the refining fee for the old man, this is ninety taels.
Lin Zong made a calm face, said goodbye to Pharmacist Qian and returned to his residence. After thinking about it, he pulled out a rectangular wooden box from under the bed. After opening it, he took out a long sword inside. This sword is a sword used by Lin Aotian when he first became famous, called "Yuntian Sword". It has reached the rank of inferior mysteries.
The weapons on the Purple Cloud Continent are divided into four levels: ordinary weapons, mysterious weapons, magic weapons, and immortal weapons. Generally, masters use ordinary weapons, and weapons above the mystical weapon are rare. One is because there are few senior craftsmen, and the other is that materials are hard to find. Therefore, as long as the weapons above the mysterious weapon fall into the market, they will be snapped up one after another. Even if the Lin family is a big family in Leyan City, Xuan-level weapons are rare. Most of them are used by the older generation such as patriarchs and elders. The younger generation rarely gets.
Lin Zong struggled a bit, but he was still ready to take the 'Cloud Sky Sword' as a pawn. Let's change some silver to improve our strength. So he said hello to Lin Danian and his wife, and left the Lin Mansion.
I followed my memory and walked to a pawnshop with a decent reputation. I remember that the pawnshop was called "He's Pawnshop", which was very famous in the entire Leyan City. Tong Su is not bullied, and has faintly become the first pawnshop in Leyan City. As he walked, Lin Zong suddenly felt that something was wrong. Because many pedestrians ran past him, looking excited, as if there was a beautiful girl running naked in front of them to attract them.
Lin Zong pulled an old man and asked him before he inquired clearly. It turned out that the lonely swordsman Zhuo Donglai and Xu Feng of the Xu family fell in love with a woman at the same time and wanted to confront and duel on the long street. Lin Zong couldn't help but be speechless for a while. The effect of this star is really huge. Just look at the men, women, and children running forward on the street.
In Lin Zong's opinion, this is a farce. It has nothing to do with him. Nothing is as important now as his ability to improve.
But the next moment, Lin Zong finally found out that something was wrong. Because he had already seen a large circle of people around the door of the "He's pawnshop". The crowd pointed their fingers inside.
Lin Zong reluctantly got in. Only then did I find that there was a young man in blue clothes standing at the door of the "He's Pawnshop". Needless to say, the lonely swordsman Zhuo Dong is here. I saw him clasp his hands in front of his chest, bowing his head slightly, revealing a sword hilt behind his back. Coincidentally, he blocked the door, exuding a fierce aura all over his body. There is quite a momentum of giving up who else.
The pawnshop, which was originally bustling, is now deserted. With such a demon standing here, no one would dare to hang his head on the waistband of his trousers and drill into it. Strangely, the owner of the pawnshop did not come out to obstruct it. And so it was a stalemate. There was an eerie atmosphere at the scene.
Lin Zong frowned. In his previous life, as a generation of Hades Monarch, he still had arrogance. Walked directly out of the crowd and walked towards the pawnshop under the excited gaze of everyone.
Who knew that before he could enter, the lonely swordsman suddenly snorted coldly, the long sword was already unsheathed, and pointed at Lin Zong and said: "Xu Feng of the Xu family really has the courage! Since you have arrived, then let's divide the winner here! Whoever loses will leave Miss Xiu'er!"
Lin Zong secretly scolded a word of neurosis, and went inside. Zhuo Donglai's cold and arrogant face couldn't help but change, and said coldly: "Could it be that Your Excellency doesn't even give this face, or do you think that Zhuo Mou is not qualified for this?"
As Zhuo Donglai's words fell, the crowd on the periphery shouted: "Fight, fight, fight! fight, fight, fight!" ”
Lin Zong glanced at Zhuo Donglai helplessly, and snorted coldly: "I'm not Xu Feng, Your Excellency has recognized the wrong person!"
But he didn't want Zhuo Dong to come, smiled, blocked Lin Zong's way, pointed to the 'Yuntian Sword' in Lin Zong's hand, and sneered: "Could it be that Your Excellency dares to come, and you don't dare to admit it?" It is rumored that the 'Wind Splitting Sword' in Xu Feng's hand is a low-grade mysterious weapon, and Your Excellency still wants to deceive Zhuo Mou. Or is Zhuo not worthy of being a match for Brother Xu? In this case, Zhuo is going to ask for advice!"
Although Lin Zong can prove his identity again. But he also has his own arrogant character. The other party was aggressive, and he would be a little low-voiced when he explained it by himself! At that moment, he said coldly: "Although your strength is weak, if your Excellency persecutes, Lin also wants to ask for your stunt!"
The crowd outside cheered. Zhuo Donglai cautiously placed the long sword in front of him. Prepare to deal with the 'Xu Feng'-like offensive in front of you. According to rumors, Xu Feng's 'Wind Splitting Sword' is not out of the sheath, and once it comes out of the sheath, it must be a thunderous blow! Although he didn't think that he would lose, he attached great importance to this master of the same level.
Lin Zong snorted coldly, and everyone saw a flash of sword light, and the 'Cloud Sky Sword' in his hand was already unsheathed. No, it wasn't a thunderbolt, the long sword was like an arc of lightning, leaving a shallow trail in the air, and it appeared in front of Zhuo Donglai in an instant. It gives people a sense of visual misalignment!
"Good sword!" Zhuo Donglai laughed excitedly. With the 'Idle Clouds Out of Xiu' long sword in the 'Ethereal Thirteen Styles' that he realized, he skillfully dissolved this strange sword. Lin Zong's eyes narrowed, and he secretly said that this lonely swordsman among the four young masters really lived up to his reputation. Don't dare to underestimate the martial arts of this world at the moment. The lightning-fast long sword in his hand instantly released a terrifying sword momentum, like a thunderbolt slashing down from the clear sky!
Many martial arts people on the periphery couldn't help but applaud loudly. But it was difficult for Zhuo Dong to come, and one move 'Heavenly Craftsmanship' blocked Lin Zong's offensive, and then another move 'Xia followed Xiu' to attack back.
Feeling the rushing sword momentum, Lin Zong's spiritual power locked onto a space within a radius of ten meters, but found that it was difficult to find a breakthrough with his current strength. I had to sigh secretly to avoid the edge for the time being. Sense the changes in the surrounding air flow and quickly find an attack blind spot. On tiptoe, he floated out of Zhuo Donglai's offensive range one step ahead.
Zhuo Dong came to see Lin Zong with such a strong sense of battle. Immediately laughed heartily, and another strong attack. But he didn't take advantage of it in the slightest. At the moment, I knew that if I didn't have a trick, I would definitely not be able to keep Lin Zong. So the sword swung more and more urgently. Zhuo Donglai's momentum is getting stronger and stronger!
Lin Zong sighed secretly, his body was too weak. There is no internal force to support, and it can't last long with brute force and some sword skills.
At a certain moment, Zhuo Donglai suddenly laughed and finally swung out a sword with all his strength, and the powerful sword turned into a dragon and slammed down on Lin Zong. This is his strongest move, 'Jiaolong Roar'. It was also with this trick that he occupied a place among the four young masters!
Lin Zong found that the other party's attack was like a heavy rain, which had already enveloped all his retreats!
There is no way back. Lin Zong's expression was cold, he couldn't imagine that the other party would make a killing move! He had no choice but to reluctantly use the "Qiankun Entwining Finger" move that made him famous in his previous life.
I saw that the long sword in his hand was like dancing, it was out of the palm of his hand, and it was constantly wrapped and moved on the five fingers, and the power of the sword would increase every time he moved, and when Zhuo Donglai's move came, the long sword in Lin Zong's hand was as heavy as a huge mountain rising from the ground, blasting out in the direction of the opponent's weakest sword momentum!
There was a loud bang, and Lin Zong's body flew out as if he had been hit. It was all about the long sword that stood on the ground to stabilize the body. But the corners of his mouth were covered with blood, and his face was extremely pale.
Zhuo Donglai's body also trembled, his arm was sore, and he stood firm after retreating a few steps. But there was no excitement on his face. Instead, he looked at Lin Zong in disbelief: "Ordinary seventh-rank martial artist!You are not Xu Feng, how is this possible!"
