Han Zhangxiang did not hide the fact that he knew how to refine weapons. This was not a secret that should not be revealed. Instead, it was a display of his own strength.
The Han family has a tradition of refining equipment. Han Zhangxiang still spent millions of spirit stones to refine a magic weapon. Casual cultivators would never spend millions of spirit stones to learn how to refine magic weapons. After all, if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. This also leads to the fact that the quality of the natal magic weapons of casual cultivators is generally not very good. For most casual cultivators, it is good enough to have a magic weapon to drive them, so they have no right to be picky.
Han Zhangxiang pondered for a moment and said, "After many failures, I finally succeeded. If Madam Sun is interested, I can sell it to you, but you have to exchange it for something, not just spiritual stones."
If independent cultivators want to obtain magical weapons, they usually have to participate in large-scale auctions. However, there are too many people and too little magic weapons, so the number of magical weapons in the hands of independent cultivators is small and the quality is not very good.
"I just happened to get a rare material not long ago. How about this! Invite Fellow Daoist Zhao, let's get together and hold a small exchange meeting. How do you think?"
Sun Li suggested that high-level monks should gather together frequently to exchange information and items.
"No problem. Let's meet at Haoran Building in half an hour."
Han Zhangxiang put away the communication disk, stood up and walked out.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Han Zhangxiang returned to his residence, took out the communication disk and contacted Han Changying.
Han Benfu and others are escorting supplies back to the family and will not be able to return in a short time.
"Changying, has De Ling come out of confinement?"
After they settled down in Haoran City, Han Deling went into seclusion to practice. It has been more than ten years since he came out.
"Not yet. Aunt Qi is still in seclusion."
Han Zhangxiang frowned and asked about the business of Jinhu Pavilion. Han Changying answered truthfully.
The Han family currently has three stores, mainly dealing in puppet beasts, monster materials and talismans. They sell puppet beasts and talismans, and purchase monster materials, keeping most of them for their own use and transporting a small portion of the monster materials back to the Red Algae Sea.
"Patriarch, we have encountered some troubles recently. The Bai family has raised the price of raw materials, especially the materials for refining puppet beasts."
The Han family has been purchasing raw materials from the Bai family. In the beginning, the two families cooperated well. However, as the Han family expanded in scale, the Bai family began to raise prices. Han Changying naturally would not agree easily and went to find other suppliers. Unexpectedly, the prices of other suppliers were higher.
Obviously, the Bai family had discussed with other suppliers that if the price increased a little it would be fine, but the Bai family wanted a 30% increase. If she gave in, the Bai family would go even further in the future.
If the Bai family retreats this time, their wealth will increase by 50% next time. A kind man is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden.
"How did you answer him?"
Every time Han Zhangxiang went to the Golden Gourd Pavilion, he would restrain himself and change his appearance. In this way, not many people knew that there was a Jindan cultivator backing the Golden Gourd Pavilion.
"I told him to think about it for a few days and give him a reply after thinking it over, and he agreed. Chief, I think he wants to find out more about us. What do you think?"
If Han Zhangxiang comes out to support Jinhulu Pavilion, the situation will be better. However, this will cause Han Zhangxiang a lot of inconvenience in doing things. What if he accidentally offends someone and the other party targets Jinhulu Pavilion? If Jinhulu Pavilion accidentally offends a certain force, this force will target Han Zhangxiang.
Everything has its pros and cons. Exposing relationships has both advantages and disadvantages.
"Contact Bai Feiyang now and tell him you want to discuss something. I will come in person and should be able to resolve the matter."
Han Zhangxiang gave the order. He had expected this kind of thing a long time ago. It was nothing when they were weak, but after they grew stronger, they would definitely offend other competitors. After all, the market was so big, and this principle applied everywhere.
If the human race grows stronger, they will squeeze the living space of the demon race. If the demon race grows stronger, they will squeeze the living space of the human race.
"Yes, Patriarch."
After putting away the communication disk, Han Zhangxiang looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
"De Ling is still in seclusion. I don't know if Chang Ming has advanced to the Jindan stage. It would be great if he could."
Han Zhangxiang said to himself,
Half an hour later, Han Zhangxiang arrived at Haoran Building and asked for a private room.
Not long after, Sun Li and Zhao Dong walked in. In addition to the two of them, there was an old man in a black robe who was as thin as a bamboo pole. The old man in the black robe had a square face, short beard, small eyes, and a strong murderous aura emanating from his body. He had a black gourd tied around his waist, and his aura was much stronger than Han Zhangxiang's.
Han Zhangxiang was startled, but he looked calm on the surface. He greeted Sun Li and Zhao Dong first, then his eyes fell on the old man in black robe and he asked curiously, "My last name is Hu, what is your name, fellow Taoist?"
"Fellow Daoist Hu, let me introduce you to Fellow Daoist Fang. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Fang's help, I would probably not be able to come back."
Zhao Dong said gratefully.
Han Zhangxiang nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any further questions.
The four of them drank tea and talked about the situation in the outer sea. Han Zhangxiang changed the subject and said with a smile: "Meeting is fate. How about we hold a small exchange meeting and exchange items?"
He took out several refining materials and an exquisite red brocade box, which contained the Fierce Shark Knife.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Hu is a third-level weapon refiner. Could it be that there are magic weapons inside?"
The old man in black robe narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, his voice a little hoarse.
Sun Li and Zhao Dong also showed curiosity on their faces. They had known Han Zhangxiang for more than ten years, but this was the first time they saw Han Zhangxiang take out a magic weapon.
Han Zhangxiang opened the red brocade box, and a red light flew out. When the light dissipated, the Fierce Shark Knife was revealed.
Sun Li and Zhao Dong's eyes became heated. Sun Li became a casual cultivator because all his relatives died. Zhao Dong was a complete casual cultivator. He only had one magic weapon in his hand, which was very shabby. He could only join hands with other Jindan cultivators to hunt down third-level monsters.
"This magic weapon is made from the fangs of a third-level fiery shark. The three Taoist friends can exchange it for something, or use some spirit stones as collateral."
Han Zhangxiang's eyes quickly swept over the three people and asked in a deep voice.
The reaction of the old man in black robe was relatively calm. His conditions must be better and he must have seen the world.
Sun Li took out a palm-sized red wooden box, handed it to Han Zhangxiang, and said, "Hu Daoyou, this is the inner elixir of a third-level Fiery Shark. How about exchanging it for one hundred thousand spirit stones?"
Han Zhangxiang shook his head in disappointment. The third-level fire shark was not rare at all. He didn't know how to make pills, so it would be useless even if he got a third-level demon pill.
Zhao Dong took out a palm-sized yellow wooden box and took out a fist-sized crystal. The crystal was uneven, colorful, and emitted an extremely fishy smell.
"This is the excrement of the strange coral polyp. Coral polyps feed on coral reefs and usually grow thousands of feet below the sea. After coral polyps above the third level devour a large amount of coral reefs, they will excrete a kind of crystal stone called coral stone. This is a coral stone, a rare earth-attributed refining material. By adding other earth-attributed materials, you can refine earth-attributed magic weapons. In addition to this coral stone, add two fangs of the golden-thorned sea cicada and 70,000 spirit stones."
Strictly speaking, these things are not worth 200,000 spirit stones.
Han Zhangxiang frowned, he didn't want to do business at a loss. It was not easy for the tribesmen to earn tens of thousands of spirit stones. However, that piece of coral stone was quite good. Han Changming practiced earth-attributed skills, and earth-attributed refining materials were relatively rare.
Coral polyps feed on coral reefs and are good at finding coral reefs. Where there are groups of coral reefs, there is a high probability of coral polyps. Coral polyps are good at concealing their breath. The shells of third-level coral polyps are suitable for refining magic weapons that can conceal breath.
