Chapter 12 Purchasing Materials
Liu Erxi took the note and looked at it, and saw that the handwriting was crooked: two sets of thick cloth vests, leggings, and 100 catties of iron sand. In addition, the more herbs that invigorate blood and replenish qi, relax muscles and bones, the better.
Liu Erxi was shocked: "Ding Yang! What do you want to do? Do you really want to practice according to that foreign practice method? Besides, so many things need at least a hundred taels of silver, you..." He Ming and Jiang Xiaowei were stunned.
Ding Yang took out a silver ticket from his leather bag and handed it to Liu Erxi, "Brother, this is a silver ticket of two hundred taels. Just give it to them and let them buy it."
In addition to the porcelain bottle containing elixir, a black token, and a silk painted with mountains and rivers, there were also several pieces of rune-like paper in Yan Tieyi's leather bag. At first, Ding Yang didn't know what it was. Later, when he came to the town, he knew that it was a silver ticket. Of the four silver tickets, the largest denomination is 5,000 taels, two in total. In addition, there is a thousand taels and a two hundred taels.
Ding Yang was afraid of scaring Liu Erxi, so he only took out the smallest denomination. In this way, he still scared Liu Erxi very much.
You should know that in the State of Chu, silver is expensive and cheap, and the purchasing power of silver is very high. Ten taels of silver can be used for an ordinary family for a year. Liu Erxi and others are handymen disciples in [Iron Sword Gate], with five dollars a month, only six taels a year. Ding Yang casually took out two hundred taels, and there was no reason for several people to be surprised.
Liu Erxi woke up from the shock, quickly hid the silver ticket, and whispered, "Ding Yang, how can you easily take out so much money?"
Ding Yang looked at the three people and smiled and said, "Three brothers, although we have just got along with each other, I can feel your sincerity and love for me, which makes me very moved. I believe in the people of the three brothers." All three of them showed an excited look.
Liu Erxi said, "It's easy to get jealous of buying such a large amount of things at once, and it will cause trouble at that time. Why don't you do this? I'll find a way to change this silver ticket into a piecemeal silver taels, and then send the vegetables in batches. It's not easy to attract attention.
Ding Yang nodded and said, "This is good, but you have to buy a thick cloth vest and leggings first. There are too much iron sand for 100 catties. You can buy 30 catties first, buy a few pairs of herbs first, and the rest will be sent in batches later."
He Ming and Jiang Xiaowei also nodded and said good.
In the next few days, Ding Yang will still carry water. With the first day of experience, he feels much more relaxed. The combination of breath and pace is getting tighter and tighter. Every day when he fills his own water tank, several handymen only fill half of it.
On the evening of the fourth day, Liu Erxi handed over a heavy burden to Ding Yang.
Ding Yang suppressed his excitement and slowly opened the burden. Inside was a black vest and a leggings. Ding Yang picked up the vest and tore it hard. The cloth was very strong and heavy. He nodded with satisfaction. There is also a bag of iron sand and three bags of good herbs in the bag.
Ding Yang picked up the herbs and asked Liu Erxi, "Brother Erxi, can you get a bucket of hot water?"
Liu Erxi said with a smile, "Ha ha, who let us work in the kitchen? Isn't it a small thing to get some hot water?"
Ding Yang laughed. In this case, I will start my external training tomorrow.

[Iron Sword Gate] In the hall, the space in the hall is huge, and there are twelve Optimus Prime pillars, each of which is surrounded by a five-clawed golden dragon swallowing clouds and fog. Lifelike and magnificent.
There is no one on a huge dragon golden chair in the middle of the hall. There are seven other chairs below, and there is one person sitting on each chair. The seven people sat together without saying a word, and a real momentum emanated, intertwined and circled in the hall.
A man in a white robe like snow, the dignified white-haired old man slowly said:
"I heard that when the mountain gate was opened this time, a disciple vomited blood in front of the sword wall. Is there anything wrong?"
An elder sitting at the end of a leopard-headed eagle said, "Big elder, this is true. This son's name is Luo Qianfan. He is nine years old this year. He raised 120 catties of stone locks in the entry test and spit blood in his mouth when he felt the meaning of his ancestors on the sword wall. It has been nearly 20 years since the disciples who have such a sense of talent. In addition, there are two disciples, Fu Hongxue and Hong Xuanjiao. Although they are slightly inferior to Luo Qianfan, they are also bleeding in their feelings. They are also rare martial arts geniuses.
The seven people in this hall are the seven elders of [Iron Sword Gate]. Each of them is the cultivation of [the marrow washing realm]. The old man in white is the elder Bai Wuqi, who is already a half-step congenital warrior.
The second elder Duan Wujiang, the third elder Sun Bier, the fourth elder Wang Buchun, the fifth elder Liu Yangzheng, the sixth elder Huang Tianxi, and the seventh elder Meng Tianhao.
The last speaker was Meng Tianhao, who presided over the introductory test that day. He was the new elder seven years ago. He had a deep respect for the elder who was already the elder of the door 40 years ago.
Bai Wuqi nodded, "Om! The effect of opening the door and receiving apprentices this time is good. The overall quality of the income disciples is better than that of the previous years. The seven elders have credit this time.
Meng Tianhao bowed slightly and said, "The elder is flattered. For the thought of [Iron Sword Gate], Tianhao is duty-bound."
Bai Wuqi said, "I intend to put Luo Qianfan under the door and give him personal guidance, so that he can become a talent as soon as possible and be the pillar of my door."
As soon as Bai Wuqi said this, except for Meng Tianhao, the other five elders had a stiff face. Spitting blood in front of the wall of the sword is not small. In time, there is no suspense to become a master of [the marrow washing], and even if you go further, there is also a great number of innate achievements. Several elders tried their best to receive him from their own. In the future, if he could really become a congenital master in the future, he would be the master of the innate master, and he would be extremely glorious.
However, Bai Wuqi is highly valued. After decades of prestige, several elders did not dare to complain a little, so they had to focus on the other two disciples, Fu Hongxue and Hong Xuanjiao.
Meng Tianhao breathed a secret sigh of relief. Although he is also one of the seven elders, he knows that his seniority is shallow and has never thought about it. His mind is the most frank among the elders. It's just that several elders have been scared of him recently. They want to put Luo Qianfan under the door. He has the lowest experience in the elder group, and it is not easy to offend him. He has a headache.
Now the elder opened his mouth that this problem was easily solved, which made him put down a stone in his heart.
Bai Wuqi continued, "In another two years, the ten-year comparison of the outer disciple of [Ijianmen] will start again. The leader began to close down seven years ago, and this time there will be seven of us to host the big meeting."
He turned to an old man in blue and said, "Second elder, you should pay more attention to some specific arrangements. It must be done smoothly and successfully.
The old man in blue sitting on the right side of the old man in white robe nodded slightly, "The elder told me to write it down."
[Iron Sword Gate] A comparison of disciples in the door will be held once every ten years, which is not only a summary of the disciples' cultivation achievements, but also can better motivate the disciples in the door to devote themselves to practice and make faster progress. At the same time, we can also find some talented disciples and give them more suitable cultivation.
According to the level of the disciple's cultivation, the comparison will be divided into three levels, [the skin practice], [bone practice], and [easy tendon]. The top three of each class will have rich rewards.
In addition, this big comparison is also a huge opportunity for the outer disciples. The top ten outer disciples who have obtained the [skin realm] and [bone practice] levels can be directly promoted to inner disciples.
For the whole [Iron Sword Gate], whether it is an outer disciple, an inner disciple or an elder deacon, etc., every big event is a grand event. Many excellent disciples will stand out in the big show, and [Iron Sword Gate] will not hesitate to take out a large number of elixirs and magic soldiers to reward the disciples who have achieved excellent results.
After all, no matter in any sect, the disciples with profound cultivation are the foundation of the sect. The foundation of any long-standing sect is not on how powerful the skills are, what a powerful magic weapon is, but on the accumulation of strong talents.
In this martial arts world where strength is respected, martial artists, especially those above [Yijinjing], determine the strength and status of a sect or even a country.
The reason why [Iron Sword Gate] has become the three major schools of the State of Chu and has been passed down for thousands of years is that it has a large number of [Yijinjing] disciples, [Mue-washing] elders, and there must be a strong man in the legendary innate realm to stand still. Therefore, the importance attached to excellent disciples is self-evident.
...........................
On the mountain road of Tiejianmen, Ding Yang walked forward with two buckets of water. Unlike the past, the speed of his progress today is obviously slow.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old handyman disciple with a pale white hemp face grabbed the front from the right side of Ding Yang with a load of water. He deliberately looked back at Ding Yang and shouted with a little sarcastic voice, "Oh! Ding Yang, what's wrong with you today? Wasn't it as fast as a mule a few days ago? Why is it as slow as a turtle today?
The other two miscellaneous disciples who carried water next to him heard it and also laughed.
Ding Yang ignored them and walked forward step by step with the water on his own. If there are careful people, they will find that Ding Yang's clothes today are bulging, as if something is stuffed.
Ding Yang has put on the vest that Liu Erxi bought for him. Thirty kilograms of iron sand were poured into the mezzanine of the vest, and ten kilograms of iron sand were also poured into the leggings on his calves. In this way, it is equivalent to an extra load of 50 catties on his body.
On the first day, he just carried a weight of 50 pounds. Ding Yang was not used to it and felt uncomfortable everywhere. That day, he didn't fill the tank of water until he decided to update. He almost couldn't walk back to the room. When he got to the room, he sat directly on the ground, which scared He Ming, Liu Erxi and Jiang Xiaowei very much.
Two days later, Ding Yang slowly adapted to the sudden increase in weight. He continued to adjust the coordination between breathing and pace, exhaling, exhaling, exhaling...
