Chapter 82 Mingguang Sword
Wei Changfeng didn't hear the talk about him behind him, and he wouldn't care even if he heard it.》.[]
It is a mediocre person who does not attract jealousy. Since he has chosen this path now, he is destined to face countless difficulties and obstacles, and is destined to provoke countless enemies and opponents. Without a heart that overcomes obstacles and is not afraid of obstacles, how can he reach the peak of martial arts?
While on the way, Yu Qinghong asked about the mission of the disciples in the courtyard.
Wei Changfeng didn't hide it from her and said it truthfully.
After hearing this, Yu Qinghong frowned slightly and said, "Junior brother, it is correct for you to choose the third task. The first and the second ones are obviously going to harm others. Qingyuntang is really getting too much more and more!"
"The third task is probably not simple either, you must be careful!"
Wei Changfeng nodded and said, "Don't worry, senior sister, I won't let others take advantage of the opportunity."
Wei Changfeng didn't care who was standing behind Qingyun Hall to plot against him, and it didn't matter to the Wang family or even the Wei family!
Because as long as he successfully passed the Martial Arts Academy competition and was qualified to choose dragons and phoenixes in Yun Haishan, he would be the best fight to his opponent. By then, he would naturally be able to break out of the quagmire.
If there is no trick in the task of escorting medicinal materials, it is definitely impossible, but when he cannot refuse, he can only deal with the moves and moves step by step!
Yu Qinghong didn't know what she thought of, and a firm look flashed in her beautiful eyes.
While walking and chatting, the two of them came to Jingyun City together.
After snowing all night, the entire Jingyun City was covered in silver, and it looked like a unique scene.
Fortunately, the snow on the street was almost cleaned up, and there were many snowmen piled up on the small street at the entrance of the alley, and many children were laughing and playing snowball fights, adding countless vitality to the city.
Wei Changfeng took Yu Qinghong to Sihai Pavilion first.
What Wei Changfeng did not expect was that Wan Haoming, the manager of Sihai Pavilion, gave him a big surprise.
"There are white jade zhi, ghost-faced zhi, red purple zhi, flesh Ganoderma lucidum, small flower zhi, blood zhi and seven-star zhi..."
In the VIP room of Sihai Pavilion, Wan Haoming asked the maid to deliver a small wooden box filled with medicine boxes, and said with a smile: "Each serving of Ganoderma lucidum has three coins, and it is for twenty years!"
"I'll get all together so soon!"
Wei Changfeng was really overjoyed. He originally thought that it would take at least one month before Sihai Pavilion could find Qizhi, the Qizhi of Qiji, for him, but unexpectedly it would be completed in just half a month.
He reached out to pick up a small white jade medicine box and couldn't wait to open the lid.
A strange fragrance of medicine immediately rushed into the nose, making Wei Changfeng's spirit uncontrollably excited!
Zhu Zizhi!
There are three purple-red lucidum tablets placed in the medicine box, each of which is about the size of a copper coin.
Hearing the qi, distinguishing the shape, and observing the color!
As a former great master of alchemy, Wei Changfeng's ability to identify spiritual medicines and materials was unmatched, so just after smelling it and taking a look, he immediately realized that this was Zhu Zizhi, which was at least twenty years old, and the quality was quite good.
Although he did not doubt the credibility of Sihai Pavilion, on the prudence, Wei Changfeng opened all the other six medicine boxes and identified them.
Wan Haoming didn't think there was anything wrong with Wei Changfeng's approach. Business is business, not to mention that this business is not a small amount, and any caution is correct.
If Wei Changfeng said carelessly that he didn't have to believe Sihai Pavilion, he would have to be a little underestimated.
The final identification results made Wei Changfeng very satisfied!
He asked bluntly: "Manager Wan, how much more do I need to add?"
The original deposit of 5,000 taels was definitely not enough to pay Qizhi's expenses. The medicinal materials in the previous year were very expensive, and it was very difficult to get Qizhi.
In recent times, the prices of medicinal materials and elixirs in Jingyun City have been rising!
Wan Haoming said: "Your luck is also Mr. Wei. I used a flying falcon to send a letter to the branch in the county government. There was stock there. The fleet arrived yesterday afternoon. I originally planned to send someone to notify the young master today."
After a pause, he continued: "The cost of purchasing these Ganoderma lucidum is very high. How about adding another 4,000 taels?"
"no problem!"
Wei Changfeng took out the silver notes prepared in advance, counted out 4,000 taels and handed them to Wan Haoming.
This price is really not expensive. He originally expected to pay about 10,000 taels.
Wan Haoming smiled and said, "It's refreshing to do business with Mr. Wei..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He clapped his palms and said loudly: "Come in!"
The door of the room was immediately gently pushed open, and a pretty maid walked in with a long box in her hands and placed it carefully on the table.
Wan Haoming said: "This is the weapon the young master wants, and the caravan also brought it here!"
A fine-forged sword?
Wei Changfeng and Yu Qinghong looked at each other and were both surprised.
They were talking about the weapons shop in the city to see if there were any good swords that were used. Unexpectedly, Sihai Pavilion was ready, and it felt like everything they wanted was fulfilling.
Wei Changfeng opened the wooden box and a long sheathed sword immediately appeared in front of him.
Just looking at the scabbard and sword cakes, you will know that it is not an ordinary product. The sheath wrapped in animal skin is inlaid with thick metal plates and brass round nails, which are both beautiful and sturdy, and can even be used to block opponents' attacks.
The hilt of the sword is more exquisite. The handle is obviously made of a tough python skin, which feels comfortable and sweat-absorbent. The shape is simple and does not have too many complicated decorations, but it gives people a very extraordinary feeling.
clang!
Wei Changfeng held the sword in his hand and pulled it out directly!
A pool of sword light like autumn water suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the sound of the sword body was crisp and pleasant.
"Good sword!"
Yu Qinghong next to her also lit up his eyes when she looked at her.
Not to mention Wei Changfeng, his intuition told him that this sword was better than the Qingfeng sword he used to use, and he felt like flesh and blood was connected in his hand!
But he suddenly felt a little worried in his heart: "Manager Wan, this is not a famous seal-level sword, right?"
A famous sword is a famous sword. The price of a famous sword is definitely far higher than that of the precision forging level. Wei Changfeng can't afford it. It's better not to see it even if you look greedy.
Wan Haoming shook his head and said, "No..."
That's good!
Wei Changfeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Yu Qinghong asked curiously: "Manager Wan, how much does this sword cost?"
She is a sword cultivator and a sword lover. When she saw the hunt, she couldn't help but ask.
Wan Haoming smiled and slapped out a slap.
"Five thousand taels?"
Yu Qinghong's eyes suddenly opened wide and said in disbelief: "How can a fine-forged long sword be so expensive!"
Wei Changfeng was also stunned - it was indeed too expensive!
In the weapon shop in Jingyun City, there are also fine-forged long swords for sale, the price is only about 2,000 taels. Wei Changfeng had seen it before and felt it was not worth it, so please ask Wan Haoming to pay attention to it.
Now Wan Haoming really found a good sword for him, but the price was amazingly high!
However, Wei Changfeng believed that the other party would never deliberately cheat him, so he was not surprised, angry or something. He just looked at Wan Haoming and waited for the other party's explanation.
Wan Haoming smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Yu, you don't know that although this Mingguang Sword is not a famous sword, it definitely has the quality of a famous seal. Five thousand taels are really cheap."
It turned out that this Mingguang Sword was made by Lu Tai, a famous craftsman in the Western Ming of the Great Qin Dynasty. By chance, he obtained hundreds of kilograms of meteorite iron to create a total of twelve swords, and used this to break through the bottleneck and advance to the realm of a master craftsman.
Among the twelve swords, five of which are of the best quality, are engraved with his name and sold as real famous swords.
However, the remaining seven swords have their own flaws. Lu Tai did not make a name for the sword body, and was finally purchased by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
Wei Changfeng was one of them in his hands!
The famous sword must be made by a famous master. Only when the seal is engraved on the sword is considered to be the famous seal. The latter represents the reputation and glory of the craftsman, so there is no tolerance for any defilement.
"Although there are small flaws, they have little impact on quality..."
Wan Haoming explained: "Five thousand taels are absolutely worth the money!"
I see!
Wei Changfeng finally understood.
As he guessed, the fact that Sihai Pavilion dared to open a high-level position is not a trick on himself.
He couldn't help but ask, "So, what is the flaw of this bright light sword?"
If it were an ordinary businessman, he would only try his best to cover up the defects of the goods, so he would not tell the truth. However, Wan Haoming, as the manager of Sihai Pavilion, disdained this way and said without hesitation: "Mr. Wei, look carefully at the sword spine. Is there a red line?"
Wei Changfeng looked closely and saw a thin bloodline on the sword, from the hilt of the sword to the tip of the sword!
Wan Haoming said: "This is an impurity in the material. It was not cleared out when refined and casting, leaving traces and causing flaws, so it was not named a craftsman."
The price of a famous sword is at least more than 10,000 taels. If there is a flaw and no name, the value will naturally drop sharply.
Wei Changfeng didn't know much about weapons, but he also knew this truth.
After listening to Wan Haoming's explanation, he thought the price of 5,000 taels was not outrageous. He was about to agree, but his sleeve was pulled by Yu Qinghong who was sitting next to him.
"Since there are flaws, it's not a famous sword!"
Yu Qinghong opened her eyes wide and said, "Five thousand taels are too expensive. You are not kind to the manager!"
Wan Haoming probably was the first time he was said to be unkind. He blushed and argued: "It's not a famous sword, but also worth it. Miss Yu, our Sihai Pavilion will never let the guests suffer a loss!"
Yu Qinghong smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then a little less. Otherwise, if Sihai Pavilion sells a 5,000 taels of fine forging sword, it will damage your reputation if you say it!"
"Then how much did you say?"
"Three thousand taels!"
"Ah? Impossible, Impossible!"
"Then I'll add two hundred taels!"
Seeing his senior sister skillfully bargaining with Wan Haoming, Wei Changfeng couldn't help laughing.
