Chapter 024: Test the Axe

It was getting late, in order to catch the last boat, Zhang Dahai and Gong Huaiming didn't dare to stay longer, hurried to the dock, and boarded the passenger boat between Baihua Island and Mingxin Island.

Along the way, Gong Huaiming was sullen, on the one hand, his money was almost spent, and he was only one step away from being poor and white, on the other hand, anyone who spent four hundred taels of silver to buy a scrap axe would not be happy.

Zhang Dahai and Gong Huaiming sat side by side, observing the words and expressions, they still didn't know what Gong Huaiming was thinking, "Brother Gong, don't hate my brother." According to my judgment, the axe we bought for 400 taels did not suffer a loss. Wait a minute, when we get ashore, let's find a place to try, and you'll know. If my judgment goes wrong, the four hundred taels you spend, I'll go back and find a way to fill the gap for you. ”

Gong Huaiming did not feel sorry for himself, nor did he put the responsibility on Zhang Dahai. If you think about it carefully, the most fundamental reason why he spent a huge amount of money of 400 taels of silver to buy a scrap axe was because the shopkeeper was a "high-up" cultivator, and they did not have any equal right to speak between them and the shopkeeper, and what the other party said was what it was. Assuming that Gong Huaiming was also a cultivator, then I didn't dare to say that the shopkeeper would treat him as an equal and get along with him on an equal footing, at least he wouldn't ignore him, in that case, it would be impossible to dispose of the waste axe to him.

In the final analysis, if you want to change your fate and become a human being, you have to become a cultivator, and you have to embark on the path of cultivating the truth. There is no doubt about this, and it is also the goal that Gong Huaiming is determined to achieve at this stage.

"Brother Zhang, let's not talk about this rotten axe. Can you tell me about the immortal masters of the three archipelagos? You also know my situation, and I want to know more about this matter, so as not to offend people who should not be offended in the future. Gong Huaiming had never revealed on any occasion that he wanted to cultivate, and he would not break this habit at this time, he was using a side-by-side attack to understand the cultivation forces of the three archipelagos more specifically.

Zhang Dahai didn't think much about it, even if he knew Gong Huaiming's thoughts, he wouldn't have any special ideas. Among the three major archipelagos, there are a few young people of the same age as Gong Huaiming who do not dream of becoming high-ranking cultivators, but in the end, they are very rare, like the morning star, just like Zhang Dahai himself, when he was young, he also had similar dreams. Looking back now, it looks like Nan Ke is in a dream, and the only thing left is to sigh the emotion of being careless when he was a teenager.

Zhang Dahai failed to embark on the road of cultivation when he was a teenager, which did not affect his yearning for the cultivation world. After Gong Huaiming asked questions, he showed a hint of fascination and began to tell Gong Huaiming everything he knew. This topic was very popular with the passengers, and after a short period of time, everyone opened their mouths one after another, saying some of the deeds of the cultivators they knew, and there were some unrealistic rumors, but it also provided Gong Huaiming with an opportunity to learn more about the local cultivators.

When he was on the Ocean Ship, Gong Huaiming had heard a lot about the cultivators from the sailors of the Xu Firm, but on the one hand, the sailors were from a relatively concentrated source, basically from the Dongju Islands, and on the other hand, the sailors could only be regarded as living in the lower middle class of society, and the channels of sources were limited. And the passengers in the passenger ship are all from the three major islands, and most of them are rich and high-status people, and some of what they know is known to the sailors, and some are unknown to the sailors, and the part that the sailors know may not be as detailed as the passengers know.

Gong Huaiming listened quietly, integrating what he had just heard with the information he had collected before, putting it in his heart, and slowly savoring, analyzing, and inducting......

Including today, Gong Huaiming has dealt with cultivators several times, he carefully sorted out the experience of these few dealings, and found that if he wants to become a member of the cultivation world, it is definitely not enough to just run around like a headless fly, the most important thing is to be able to find the appropriate way, which is exactly what he lacks the most now. And it is too difficult for ordinary people in the world to find opportunities and ways to join the disciples of cultivators, not only to have spiritual roots, to have the talent of cultivating truth, but more importantly, to have great opportunities.

The passenger ship arrived at the dock of Baihua Island smoothly, and the passengers ended the topic of immortal masters unsatisfactorily and went ashore one after another. Gong Huaiming and Zhang Dahai got off the boat with the flow of people, and the latter asked Gong Huaiming to follow him, saying that he wanted to find a place and let Gong Huaiming try the double-edged axe he had just bought.

Zhang Dahai led Gong Huai to the seaside. The full moon hangs high, the moonlight is bright, pouring down, and everything under the moonlight is delicate, as if bathed in daylight.

There are many exposed reefs on the beach, which are very solid. Zhang Dahai casually pointed to a piece, "Brother Gong, use your greatest strength to chop down this reef with the axe you just bought." ”

Gong Huaiming glanced at Zhang Dahai, his eyes were full of incomprehension, Zhang Dahai said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, you will know if you try." ”

Gong Huaiming walked to the side of the reef, picked up the axe with forty percent of his strength, and slashed towards the reef. Just listened to the sound, the expected shock did not happen, and Gong Huaiming's wrist did not have any special feeling. He hurriedly fixed the sun and took a closer look, only to see that there was a white mark more than half a finger deep on the reef, and along the white seal, there were several fine cracks surrounding it.

Gong Huaiming always thought that he was buying a scrap axe, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful. Without Zhang Dahai's reminder, he walked to another reef, picked up his axe again, and this time used ten percent of his strength to slash towards the reef. With a bang, the reef split and shattered, and the double-edged axe was unharmed.

Gong Huaiming was overjoyed, the axe he bought for four hundred taels was sold a little differently, but it was very sharp, whether it was sharpened like mud, I was not sure, but even if it did not meet this standard, it was estimated that it would not be much worse. In terms of sharpness alone, this axe is about the same, if not a divine weapon. Of course, for a weapon to be rated as a "divine weapon", not only must it meet the requirements of sharpness, but there are also many complicated and detailed regulations, otherwise, this double-edged axe will not be thrown into the scrap cabinet by the shopkeeper.

"Brother Gong, are you satisfied? Brother, I didn't let you spend four hundred taels of silver in vain, did I?" Zhang Dahai said with a smile.

Gong Huaiming nodded again and again, "Thank you, Brother Zhang." By the way, the younger brother has one more thing to ask for, I hope that Brother Zhang can teach me how to identify the quality of weapons. There are so many waste products, Brother Zhang can pick out this double-edged axe from it, he must have his own unique secrets, and please Brother Zhang Don't be stingy, you must teach the younger brother. ”

"As long as Brother Gong doesn't dislike it and is willing to learn, I will naturally be happy to teach him. Zhang Dahai did not refuse, and readily agreed.

I don't recommend it next week, so I can only rely on everyone's support. Alas......
