Chapter 27 Sword Refining on
There are people coming and going on the street. Chu Tian deliberately keeps a distance between them behind Luo Jia, and also clearly shows his current identity.
But Luo Jia didn't seem to remember the difference in identity between the two. She always slowed down and waited for Chu Tian to walk side by side with him.
"Have you remembered what I just told you? You must pass the examination and become a foreign disciple, otherwise I will throw you into the North Sea to feed the sharks. This is the third time that Luojia warned Chu Tian tonight.
"Are there any sharks in the Northern Underworld Sea?" Chu Tian also began to get used to the attention around him.
"Idiot, if not, I can put two in first." Luo Jia took it for granted, "When you become an outer disciple, you can independently accept all kinds of errands assigned by the E family. According to the difficulty of these errands, you will get corresponding rewards, such as the Taoist secrets of the E family and the healing medicine..."
Chu Tian silently listened to Luo Jia's arrangement for him and did not interrupt her.
"Of course, you are also my servant, and you must follow my orders at any time."
"Oh." Chu Tian finally gave Luo Jia a little response.
"Please, can you say a few more words sometimes?" Luo Jia is angry.
Chu Tian thought about it seriously and asked, "Which words do you want me to say more?"
Luo Jia shook her head to his ear, and the bodies of the two people almost stuck together.
"Three words."
Chu Tian couldn't help but beat and gasp, slightly widening the distance between him and Luojia.
"Return my money--" Luojia saw Chu Tian lowering his head in embarrassment and saying nothing, and giggled happily. "How are you going to repay the two Qiongcheng Laojiao that you owe me?"
Chu Tian's heartbeat gradually returned to normal. He suddenly understood the reason why few people dared to provoke Luo Jia - this girl was too bold to say and do. Whoever is with her must be ready to deal with the danger of speeding up her heartbeat at any time.
"If you are my servant for two more years, the accounts between us will be written off. How about that?" Luo Jia's tone is more threatening than negotiable.
However, Chu Tian was obviously not as obedient as she expected. He replied, "Let me think about it."
Luo Jia curled her lips, snorted in a low voice, and took Chu Tian into a shop next to the street.
"Did the people of the Yin family bother you?" Chu Tian looked at the decorations in the store and asked casually.
This is a refinery shop specializing in forging fairy magic blades, similar to at least 20 or 30 in the Northern Underworld.
"You should ask: Do I have any trouble with the Yin family?" Luo Jia corrected and greeted the middle-aged man sitting in a teacher's chair in the corner, "Lao Zhu!"
The middle-aged man was taking a fake sip. Hearing Luo Jia's voice, he immediately opened his eyes and said, " Luo Jia? Long time no see."
He stood up and glanced at Chu Tian's face. It seemed that he already knew who the teenager standing one step behind Luo Jia was.
"Let's go inside. It's too noisy outside."
The middle-aged man left the two clerks and scattered guests in the store and introduced Luo Jia and Chu Tian into the back hall.
"Lao Zhu is one of the three most famous refiners in Beiming City." Luo Jia introduced the identity of a middle-aged man to Chu Tian.
"No one." Lao Zhu made tea for Luo Jia and Chu Tian, "I'm the best."
"I want to know how far this sword can be repaired?" Luo Jia did not argue with Lao Zhu. She seemed to acquiesce to his point, pointing to the Cangyun Yuanchen sword behind Chu Tian.
Only then did Chu Tian know the purpose of Luo Jia bringing himself here.
"This is the cold Cangyun Yuanchen sword of the first master of the magic road 600 years ago," Lao Zhu glanced at the sword body lightly. "If I'm not wrong, its sword spirit has condensed and woken up again, but its vitality is greatly damaged. This sword... At present, it is estimated that it has repaired itself by about 30%.
"Can you lend it to me?" He went to Chu Tian and said.
Chu Tian hesitated, untied the Cangyun Yuanchen sword from behind, turned the hilt of the sword upside down and handed it to Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu took the Cangyun Yuanchen sword, skillfully wiped it on the sword with two fingers, and then put his ear close to the Yuanchen Baozhu, as if he was listening to something.
After a long time, he "ding" flicked the blade and concluded, "Fivety!"
Chu Tian asked, "How much does it cost?"
Lao Zhu narrowed his eyes and estimated for a moment and said, "You are the guest brought by Luo Jia. I can give you the best price, just charge 5,000 taels."
Chu Tian was secretly relieved. The sum of the silver tickets he received from He Zhicheng was almost the same.
He nodded, took out the silver ticket and put it on the table and asked, "How many days can it be delivered?"
Lao Zhu looked at the silver ticket on the table and shook his head and said, "Young man, it's all in gold here."
Chu Tian seems to have a stuffy stick. The exchange ratio of gold and silver is at least one to ten, and sometimes it will be higher on the black market of Shenlu. In other words, he is at least 45,000 taels short of silver.
Luo Jia smiled and stood up. She seemed to have expected this to happen for a long time and took two things out of her cuffs. One is an empty IOU with the amount and payment, and the other is a small golden card the size of a baby's palm.
"I'll give you the IOU, and I'll give you the deposit card." She handed these two things into the hands of Chu Tian and Lao Zhu respectively.
Looking at the IOU, Chu Tian found that there was an agreement of three points of annual profit, and he was a little relaxed. He also seemed to see the charm of the unscrupulous usury businessman from Luojia's body.
Fortunately, I should be able to afford this money. As long as I can become an outside disciple and take a few more errands, I believe it can be settled in two or three years.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian did not hesitate to fill in the amount, and then signed the deposit and handed it to Luo Jia together with 5,000 taels of silver.
Luo Jiazi looked at the IOU carefully and smiled in front of Chu Tian, "Remember, you will pay me back 58,500 taels next year."
The two followed Lao Zhu to the wall in the back hall. On the wall is a large landscape painting, and Chu Tian vaguely senses a trace of aura emanating from the landscape painting.
"This is a transmission array, which cost me a lot of money back then." Lao Zhu said, pressing his left hand on the screen.
His palm gradually glowed with a light blue glow, and then spread to the whole landscape picture.
The waterfall on the picture suddenly seemed to come alive, and a white wave of light rushed out of the wall.
The streamers passed by in front of Chu Tian, and suddenly there was a kind of illusion of distortion of time and space.
It was just a very short moment, and his vision returned to normal and he found himself in a strange void.
The blue sky is boundless, and there is no change of sun, moon and stars in the morning and dusk. At the foot is a steep high cliff, and the roar of the rumble waterfall comes with the wind.
"This virtual world was opened up by your father when he was alive." Lao Zhu saw things and thought of people, and said to Luo Jia with emotion.
"The old man is a rare good man." Luo Jia looked at the rising white clouds under the cliff and thought about it.
Lao Zhu nodded in agreement, condensed his hands on his chest and made a string of magic seals, and shouted in a low voice, "Get up!"
"Wow--" A ten-meter-high refinery tripod furnace with twinkling bronze light rose from under the clouds and hovered over the high cliff.
In this virtual world, Lao Zhu is its master, who can control everything.
"The clouds are fire, too far away from the illusion!" Lao Zhu's low voice echoed in the virtual world, which sounded like a real feeling.
"Huh--" A yellow-green cloud rolled up from the bottom of the cliff and poured into the "divine soldier furnace" in the air.
The Taili spiritual fire suddenly burned in the magic furnace, and the yellow-green flames kept rising and rushed out of the top of the furnace.
"The fire in the world contains all kinds of impurities, and the fairy and magic treasures cast with them are inevitably mottled and impure."
Lao Zhu explained, "This is the Taili spirit fire I collected from the South China Sea. It is the best way to use it to refine swords. I will use it as a heater first, and then I will put all kinds of refining materials into the tripod furnace for smelting, and finally turn it into a crystal light that can be absorbed by Cangyun Yuanchen Sword.
When he spoke, the light of the magic soldier's furnace became brighter and brighter, and the flames that were too far away from the spirit flashed in the wind tunnel. Although it is at least 300 meters apart, Chu Tian can still feel the heat wave and aura coming to his face.
Lao Zhu's two hands changed the magic seal again, made a series of dazzling gestures, and said the truth: "Wuhua Tianbao, eight sides **!"
As soon as the voice fell, I saw a bunch of colorful lights under the high cliff, in the clouds and the blue sky, just like the fireworks blooming during the New Year.
Golden Dum fairy root, red dragon thousands of fires, silver emery, green Kuiqian rain, white wasteant sand... A variety of rare rare refining materials fly from all directions, as if invited to a gorgeous feast and merged into the magic furnace.
"Boom!" The tripod furnace trembled slightly, radiating a magnificent and strange brilliance, and the purple and red beauty were invincible.
Chu Tian can say for sure that if it hadn't been for Lao Zhu, he would have given the most favorable price for Luo Jia's sake. At present, these refineries that are put into the magic soldier's furnace may not be able to afford it in my life.
"Hum--" seemed to feel the full aura in the magic soldier's furnace. The Cangyun Yuanchen sword made an exciting long sound, trembling more and more violently behind Chu Tian, as if he couldn't wait to fly into the tripod furnace.
Lao Zhu looked at Cangyun Yuanchen Sword and said with a smile, "What's the hurry? Wait a minute."
He stared at the tripod furnace and made a unique seal with both hands that only the top refiner could understand, which stimulated the furnace fire to slowly melt rare materials.
There is no change of skylight, no guidance of the sun and the moon, and the passage of time can hardly be felt in the virtual world of casting.
In the feeling of Chu Tian, after about an hour, the colorful brilliance in the tripod furnace began to gradually merge and condense into a pure and soft snow-white crystal light.
"Quick, it's now!" Lao Zhu suddenly shouted to Chu Tian.
"Go!" Chu Tian did not hesitate to pull out the Cangyun Yuanchen sword, which had been eager to try, and waved his wrists to the magic soldier.
"Whew!" A white light sank into the blazing magic furnace like lightning, and immediately disappeared.
