Chapter 40: The Cold Star
The market is still bustling with pedestrians at midnight.
Dichen looked at Qianchuan Yan who was still in high spirits in front of him, and then looked at the greedy wolf who kept eating along the way, with a helpless face.
"Are women born to go shopping?" Dichen sighed softly.
patted his thighs, which were already a little sore, and scolded Nie Jingtian and several people in his heart, saying that the Sword City Night Market is very beautiful, but now it is good, and the legs and feet that he has walked are weak.
It's also strange to say, I usually run all the way, even if I rush all day in a row, I won't feel anything, why do I feel so tired when I stroll and go shopping?
Qianchuan Yan will never complain even if he is tired from the journey, nor will he ask for rest, he will only silently insist on following Dichen, which makes Dichen appreciated.
"Let's have something to eat first!"
When passing by a barbecue stand, Dichen finally couldn't help but stop Qianchuan Yan.
"Whew......"
Hearing that there was something to eat, the greedy wolf happily wagged his tail and ran back from Qianchuan Yan's side, circling around Dichen with a flattering look.
Qianchuan Yan turned around with some doubts, glanced at Di Chen, and naturally saw his exhaustion, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, smiled meaningfully, and slowly walked back to Di Chen's side.
After ordering dozens of skewers of barbecue and a pot of wine, Dichen could finally sit down and rest.
Qian Chuanyan didn't drink anymore, just picked up a skewer of barbecue and chewed it slowly, quiet as a sleeping child, and didn't make a sound.
Dichen and the greedy wolf were gobbling up, eating so fast, dozens of skewers of barbecue were gone in an instant, Qianchuan Yan finally finished eating the skewer in his hand, and was about to reach out to take it but found that there was no more, and he was stunned for a moment and looked at Dichen.
Dichen bit off the last string of barbecue, threw the bamboo strips wearing the barbecue in front of him, and was about to enjoy it, when he suddenly saw Qianchuan Yan's gaze, looked down at the pile of bamboo strips in front of him, blushed instantly, and hurriedly called dozens of more strings.
The greedy wolf has been eating all the way, and it still hasn't stopped, so as long as Dichen can buy it, he can eat it, buy as much as he wants.
Later, Qianchuan Yan didn't eat a few skewers, and was still almost eaten by Dichen and Greedy Wolf, but Qianchuan Yan never ate much, so he didn't ask the boss to roast again.
I was about to check out and leave, but I saw a crowd of people on the street, most of them running in one direction, as if there was something lively to see.
"Boss, where are these people going?" Dichen was puzzled, so he asked the owner of the barbecue stall.
The boss is an ordinary person in his fifties, who relies on a barbecue stall to support his family all the year round, perhaps because of many years of hard work, and his back is already a little rickety, but he is very enthusiastic.
"You're from out of town, aren't you?" asked the boss, smiling.
"Yes, they only came here today!" Di Chen said, they were indeed in Sword City today.
"Then it's no wonder, the reason why Sword City is called Sword City is not only because War Sword Valley is not far from here, but also because Sword City is famous for its sword-casting technology. ”
"Does this have anything to do with them?" Dichen pointed to those who were hurrying away.
"It has a relationship, that is, at the end of this street, there is a sword pavilion, specializing in selling some good sword weapons, which opens on time at midnight every night, and it is said that you can also participate in the lottery when you reach a certain amount of consumption, and if you are lucky enough to draw a good one, the value is several times higher than what you consume!" said the boss.
"Oh?" Di Chen was stunned, he had just come here today, and he hadn't even had time to ask Nie Jingtian and them about Sword City.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Little Lao'er will still lie to you?" the boss said haha, thinking that it was also because Dichen consumed hundreds of skewers of barbecue here and was in a good mood.
"Not really, it's just the first time I've been here, and it's the first time I've heard of such a good thing. Dichen smiled.
The boss shook his head and said, "A good thing is a good thing, and you have to be lucky!"
Dichen nodded, the boss said well, the lottery is a thing, it does pay attention to a bit of luck, bad luck, it is useless to force it if you don't want it, it should be yours, maybe you can easily get it as soon as the luck arrives.
After saying goodbye to the boss, Dichen also came with some interest, and took Qianchuan Yan to follow the flow of people, and also walked towards the legendary Sword Pavilion.
It was not far from the place where they had eaten barbecue just now, about a thousand meters or so, which was where the Sword Pavilion was located, and when Dichen and they arrived, the Sword Pavilion was already crowded.
There are not a few people who buy swords and watch the excitement, and Dichen also came with the idea of watching the excitement.
The Sword Pavilion is a very large sword trading workshop, covering a wide area, enough to accommodate thousands of people to watch the items at the same time, and the sword tools displayed in the Sword Pavilion are also thousands, and there are many good ones.
"Let's go in and have a look!" Di Chen said, stepping into the threshold of the Sword Pavilion, and Qian Chuanyan followed behind him, followed by the greedy wolf.
Entering the Sword Pavilion, Di Chen was amazed, it was indeed very atmospheric, dozens of wooden shelves displayed countless sword weapons, all kinds of shapes and surnames.
Di Chen was a little puzzled why Chu Yifeng and Huang Chong would think of looking for materials to forge swords by themselves, instead of coming to this Sword Pavilion to find a sword weapon that suited him, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that they should have their own considerations.
Dichen simply took up a large number of swords in front of him, various grades, various shapes, various castes, and of course various prices.
Aoki Sword, five hundred years of Aoki casting, grade nine, contains the power of Mu Xingyuan, and the cultivator surnamed Mu holds it, and the power has increased greatly.
The Earth Fire Sword, cast from the thousand-year-old Earth Fire Crystal, is the pinnacle of the ninth grade, containing the power of the fire line, and the power is doubled by the cultivators surnamed Huo.
......
Dichen took a casual look, most of them are first-class swords, they are all the best choices, and there are only a few second-class swords, of course, the price is a lot cheaper.
From the mouths of the people around him, Dichen Tan heard that he could participate in the lottery if he spent 100,000 taels in the Sword Pavilion, as for what prizes, Dichen didn't ask, he didn't think he had that kind of luck, besides, he now has 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and 100,000 taels is really 108,000 miles away.
After casually turning around, I didn't find any divine weapon-level sword weapons, it is said that those divine weapon-level sword weapons were all stored in the Sword Pavilion Cabinet, and cultivators below the king level were not qualified to enter.
"It's really expensive!" Di Chen pondered, he turned around, and found that the lowest grade was all six grades, and the lowest price was nearly ten thousand taels of silver.
After taking a few steps forward, Di Chen planned to look at the few sword weapons in this corner and leave, except for here, they had almost all looked at it.
Chongyue, an eight-grade sword weapon, a cultivator with a surname of the earth holds it, and his strength has increased by fifty percent.
Han Xing, a seven-grade peak sword weapon, is held by a cultivator with the surname of the wind, and has a speed increase of three percent.
"Coldstar? ”
Qianchuan Yan's voice sounded behind Di Chen, Di Chen was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Qian Chuan Yan looking at the Cold Star Sword with a serious face, and then he remembered that Qian Chuan Yan didn't even seem to have a weapon yet.
Hanxing Sword, the hilt is cast in glass, crystal clear and transparent, the sword body is thin and long, no more than an inch wide, but two feet eight inches long, it is a typical narrow sword, Dichen glanced at it, but it is very compatible with Qianchuan Yan.
Seeing Qianchuan Yan's expression, Dichen seemed to like this sword very much, so he simply called a responsible boss, because in the Sword Pavilion, there were many sword weapons that did not indicate the price, and Han Xing happened to be one of them.
After asking, he learned that the price was actually 110,000 taels, Dichen was surprised, and his fingers unconsciously touched the storage ring, which contained about 10,000 taels of silver, only enough for a fraction.
"Boss, can't you have less?" Di Chen was cheeky and bargained, he still had ten Zengyuan Pills in his hand, each of which was worth about 10,000 taels of silver, and 110,000 could barely make up for it, but in that case, he might not even have any belongings to eat.
"100,000, this is the lowest price!" the boss was a little embarrassed.
"One hundred thousand ......," Di Chen muttered, glancing at Qianchuan Yan, who was still looking at the Cold Star Sword, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Okay, 100,000 is 100,000, deal, help me change these pills!" Di Chen took out ten Zengyuan Pills.
"Okay!" the boss took it, turned and left.
"Boss, I want this narrow sword for 120,000 taels of silver!"
Suddenly, a young voice came, and the boss paused, turned around, and looked in the direction from which the voice came.
Dichen was also stunned, and then looked over, but a young man in luxurious clothes walked this way, twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and handsome.
"This son, I'm afraid this won't work, this little brother of the Cold Star Sword has already bought it. The boss pointed at Dichen.
"Oh?" the young man was stunned, glanced at Di Chen, and asked the boss, "Then did he pay the silver taels?"
"Not really, but I'll take his pill and exchange it for silver taels!" said the boss.
"That is, the bill has not been paid, of course, the transaction has not been completed, and I have the right to bid again, right?"
"This ......" the boss was a little helpless.
"120,000 taels of silver, if it is sold, this son will pay in cash immediately. ”
Dichen watched all this from the sidelines, and did not make a sound, in his heart, the boss had already verbally agreed, and took his own elixir, which was equivalent to taking over the chip money, and this cold star should be his own.
"But this little brother ...... This ......" The boss looked at the pill in his hand and was even more embarrassed.
The gorgeous young man looked embarrassed at the boss, turned to look at Di Chen, and said with a smile: "I don't know if this little brother can cut his love, I am grateful." ”
Dichen glanced at him, he was a handsome boy, but why did his smile make him feel very uncomfortable?
"I've already paid for it. Dichen's face was expressionless.
"That's an elixir, not money. The young man was still smiling.
"That's the bargaining chips for the exchange. Dichen said, still expressionless.
The young man gradually put away his smile, and his face was a little cold. "So, your Excellency doesn't want to be fulfilled in the future?" the title has changed from a little brother to a noble one.
"I've already paid the chips. Dichen looked at him.
"Two sons, this ......" The boss looked at the demeanor of the two of them, knowing that something would happen if he didn't say anything, but he didn't know what to do.
The young man ignored the boss, staring at Dichen like a poisonous snake, and the momentum on his body slowly skyrocketed.
