Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Blacksmith's Shop
"Fellow Daoist, how do you sell this ball of silk thread," Li Daoyuan was standing in front of a small stall and was asking the price with a man in a yellow robe. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The stall owner picked up the pale blue silk thread and asked, "Are you talking about the silk thread that the night demon spider spat out?"
"It turned out to be the silk thread spit out by the second-level demon beast Night Demon Spider, so can this silk thread be fireproof?"
"Of course it's fireproof, you have to know that the night demon spider is a water attribute, when we saw someone hunting this night demon spider, we were all seriously injured, such a ball of silk thread is more than forty meters long, let's sell you forty spirit stones" The stall owner said with a smile.
"What, forty spirit stones, why don't you grab it, fellow Daoist, what is the use of this silk thread in addition to fire prevention and erection, at most I will have ten spirit stones"
"Good deal"
Now Li Daoyuan was dumbfounded.
The stall owner seemed to see Li Daoyuan stunned, and explained with a smile, "This ball of silk thread is just like what Daoyou said, refining tools can't be refined, and alchemy can't use it, if you want to come to Daoyou to buy it, what is the special use of it, I don't ask about this special use, Daoyou won't just want it for ten spirit stones, so this piece of silk thread has not been sold in my hands for a long time, even if Daoyou has eight spirit stones."
Li Daoyuan smiled bitterly and handed over the spirit stone, then took the silk thread and put it in the storage bag and was about to leave.
"Fellow Daoist, you might as well take another look," the yellow-robed stall owner said with a smile.
"No" Li Daoyuan walked away without looking back, a mountain is still a mountain high, these vendors who set up stalls are much more shrewd than Li Daoyuan. Li Daoyuan only looked at it and didn't make a move, firstly, there were not many spirit stones, and secondly, he was afraid that he would be eaten up, originally he also wanted to buy two low-level flying swords, and the broken ones were okay, but the prices of these stall owners were too outrageous, and after Li Daoyuan bargained a few times, the price was still too far from the price in his heart.
Now the only way to do this is to go to a place where mortals live, and find a shop that sells weapons to see if there is a suitable one.
Li Daoyuan walked out of a small building called Bailian Pavilion disappointed. But he quickly got his bearings, passing through several alleys and a few outlying restaurants, and stopped in a remote place near the city gate.
"Cao's blacksmith shop" Li Daoyuan read the plaque he saw, "That's right, this is here"
"Is Cao Bing here? I was introduced by the boss of the Hundred Refining Pavilion, and I want to make two one-foot-long short swords of the Hundred Refinements."
Li Dao walked into the store and said loudly directly, at this time, a middle-aged man with bare arms and muscles bulging all over his body stepped forward, seeing that he was sturdy and had a thick expression, Li Daoyuan thought in his heart that he was an honest man.
"I'm Cao Bing, since the guest officer was introduced by an acquaintance, then tell me the specifications and models, Lao Cao, I can build a model for the guest officer now," Cao Bing said in a rough voice.
"I don't know how much time it will take and how much will the price be calculated"
"Five spirit stones can be built in one handle in one hand"
"Okay, take out the refined iron of your sword refining and give me a choice" Li Daoyuan didn't bargain anymore
"Haole, guest officer, please come with me"
"Isn't it built here," Li Daoyuan looked at the stove next to him.
"No, the Hundred Refining Sword has to be smelted at a very high temperature, and there is a furnace in the room that my ancestor invited the formation mage to depict."
"Oh, Array Mage, I'm looking forward to the Hundred Refining Refined Sword you have refined."
"Haha, I will call the guest officer, you are satisfied," Cao Bing said boldly.
Is it this furnace Li, a furnace in front of Daoyuan that is carved with lines,
"Guest officer, do you see that these fine irons are still full?"
Cao Dahan pointed to dozens of pitted black iron blocks on a table. Li Daoyuan swept it with his divine sense,
"The quality is good, huh!" Li Daoyuan looked at a piece of iron under the table that was the size of two fists, he swept it with his divine sense just now, but was blocked by this iron block, which attracted Li Daoyuan's attention.
"Just choose this piece of fine iron" Li Daoyuan saw Cao Dahan's face change,
"Why, isn't this piece going to work?"
"This piece of iron is meteorite iron, although it is not very expensive, but I can't refine it in this furnace."
"Meteorite Iron, hasn't your furnace been carved by the array mage," Li Daoyuan asked in confusion
"The carving has been depicted, but it is usually not urged by the spirit stone, if the Taoist friend is willing to take out the fire spirit stone. I said yes, you can give it a try, but it will take longer," Cao Bing said with some embarrassment.
"Okay, I don't lack these fire spirit stones, so I'll refine the iron of this meteorite."
Li Daoyuan took out three fire spirit stones and pressed them into the groove of the formation, this formation burst of red light flowed, and an amazing heat came from it, Cao Dahan saw this without saying a word, picked up the meteorite and threw it into the furnace, and then a twenty-year-old Dunhou young man came in from outside the door, this young man was seven or eight points similar to Cao Dahan, he walked straight to the hand-pulled bellows, and was trying to pull the bellows.
In an hour, the father and son took turns pushing and pulling the bellows, and when the fire spirit stones on the formation were exhausted, Cao Bing took out the red-burned meteorite iron with iron tongs and put it on the anvil, he used pliers to clamp the red-hot meteorite iron with his left hand, and the small hammer in his right hand knocked on the red-hot meteoric iron, and his son took a sledgehammer that was seven or eight times larger than his father and hit it on the meteorite iron.
His son knocked once, and Cao Bing knocked three times, and the sound of both hammers was different, and it sounded very rhythmic.
However, Li Daoyuan was pondering, there should be nothing wrong, the book says that the bigger the meteorite, the more likely there is iron essence in it, and iron essence is a precious material used by the Jiedan monk when refining the magic weapon.
Just thinking about it, a light sound came, Li Daoyuan raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, at this time Cao Blacksmith had already turned the meteorite over to the side, only to see a black spot inlaid in the red meteorite. Blacksmith Cao knocked out the black spot with a small hammer, and when the spot appeared in front of him, it was a black iron core the size of a pitted jujube core.
Li Daoyuan was about to use the words he had thought of, but who knew that Cao Blacksmith said
"This meteorite belongs to the guest officer, I don't know if the guest officer wants this thing"
"I see that this thing is so erect and hard, I will use it in refining magic weapons in the future, and I won't let you suffer, so I will give you ten spirit stones."
Blacksmith Cao thanked politely a few times.
When Li Daoyuan came out of the blacksmith shop, there were two more short swords with cold light in his sleeves, although these two short swords were not enough to reach the low-level magic weapons, but they were made of meteorite, and even one of the fire bead techniques could compete with one or two. The most important thing is the iron essence that was accidentally gained, don't look at this small one, but it is worth thousands of spirit stones, I think that before this meteorite fell, it should have been as big as the blacksmith shop just now.
