Whether three months is long or not, is not short. In the mortal world, many things can be done in three months. But in the world of cultivating immortals, three months may be just a time to settle down.
As for Lu Yu, these three months have been very busy. He kept running between Yujianzong and Lianhefang City. And Lu Yu was sitting in the inner room of Yuhexuan drinking tea, waiting for shopkeeper Zhou who had gone to pick up things to come back.
Looking back on what happened in the past three months, I can only use the word refining to describe it. Since returning to Yujianzong three months ago, Lu Yu immediately took the star iron and hid in the refining room. This time the refining was as smooth as Lu Yu expected. With the help of the ring, Lu Yu completed the ten meteor swords in two days. Then Lu Yu secretly rushed to Lianhefang City alone. The ten meteor swords were sold to ten different shops, including Yuhexuan. The price offered by the other nine companies was only 1,000 low-grade spirit stones, while Yuhexuan only offered 1,500 low-grade spirit stones. Lu Yu returned to the sect with more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones and bought a large amount of materials.
Half a month later, Lu Yu came to Lianhefang City with dozens of mid-level meteor swords and two top-level red blood swords. All the things were secretly sold in batches, and it took Lu Yu half a month to sell these things, just because he was afraid that someone who cared about him would notice him. But that's it, Lu Yu currently has more than one hundred middle-grade spirit stones, which is already equivalent to the entire net worth of an ordinary sword spirit.
In the next two months, Lu Yu spent non-stop refining weapons and secretly selling things. However, because Lu Yu was jealous of Yuhexuan, the only thing he sold to Yuhexuan these few times was a Meteor Sword each time. Other things are also constantly changing shops for sale.
Until today, Lu Yu also sold the last batch of things, and now there are more than 300 middle-grade spirit stones. He was going to use these spirit stones to buy a large amount of Guiyuan Dan, and some materials for refining weapons and armor for himself. After buying these items, no more weapons will be sold. Because he found that the weapons in this market were saturated, and someone should soon discover the abnormality of these weapons, and it would be very dangerous if he came here to sell weapons again.
He came to Yuhexuan first, because shopkeeper Zhou had promised him to sell him a batch of Guiyuan pills, and he would only charge one thousand low-grade spirit stones per bottle, that is, one middle-grade spirit stone. This price is more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones cheaper than outside. After explaining the purpose of coming to shopkeeper Zhou, he waited quietly in the inner room for shopkeeper Zhou to bring Gui Yuandan.
"Little brother, you've been waiting for a long time." Shopkeeper Zhou walked in with a happy face, holding a storage bag in his hand.
At this time, Lu Yu was still shrouded in a cloud of white mist. Hearing Shopkeeper Zhou's voice, he quickly got up and cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhou is very polite. You can sell me things so cheaply, even if you make me wait for more than ten days, it is worth it."
The two spoke politely like old friends they haven't seen for many years, and then sat down as guest and host.
"I have twenty bottles of Guiyuan Dan here. I can give you all of them." Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said lightly.
"Boss Zhou is so generous! I don't know what is the price for getting these twenty bottles of Guiyuan Pill?" Lu Yu's face changed, because he was hidden in the mist, and shopkeeper Zhou couldn't see it. Twenty bottles of Guiyuan Pills are equivalent to 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. The other party must have a plan for taking out so many things in one go.
"Well, I won't go around the corner anymore. To be honest, I am also a craftsman. I have been studying this way for more than 30 years." Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at Lu Yu with a half-smile, and continued Said: "I think my little brother's talent for refining weapons at a young age is also quite amazing. He can forge eleven stainless steel swords in a month. Among the talented weapon refining masters I have seen, it is impossible to have such a talent." But the number of ten fingers."
Hearing this, Lu Yu felt a "thump" in his heart. He didn't expect that he was so cautious that someone would still see the clues. Lu Yu quickly thought about the countermeasure in his mind, whether to turn around immediately and leave, or to listen to what he said later.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked around the inner room first, and found that a faint white light had appeared around the inner room at some point. It was like a hood covering the secret room. Lu Yu's heart sank, he was extremely wary of shopkeeper Zhou, he never thought that he would dare to set up a magic circle directly in the shop. Does the other party want to do it now? This is Union Square. Lu Yu regretted a little in his heart, why did he put himself in a desperate situation in order to save that little spirit stone.
Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but smile when he saw Lu Yu looking around. Although I couldn't see the other person's expression, I knew that the other person's face must be ugly at this moment.
"Little brother, don't worry, this is just a simple sound-proof formation, just to prevent others from eavesdropping on our speech." Shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile.
In Lu Yu's heart, he greeted all the eighteen generations of the shopkeeper's ancestors this week, and the devil believed that the magic circle was used for sound insulation. However, seeing the shopkeeper's performance this week, it seems that he didn't want to kill him immediately. Killing himself with the opponent's swordsman's ten-level Dzogchen cultivation base is just a matter of raising his hands. There must be a special reason for the other party to trap himself here.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu's heart calmed down, and he said coldly, "Then what is there that Boss Zhou can't let others know?"
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled, put the teacup to his lips and took a sip, then said slowly: "I got a secret book about refining weapons in the early years, and there is a sword of the first rank on it that requires two people to refine it together. Among them, the sword body needs to be irrigated with the blood of the refiner, and the age of the refiner must be under the age of twenty."
"First grade holy rank? Isn't there only lower rank, middle rank and top rank?" Lu Yu asked with some doubts.
Shopkeeper Zhou laughed and said, "That's because you haven't been in contact with refining weapons for a long time. In fact, each level is divided into four levels, lower, middle, top, and holy. It's just that the materials required for the holy level are too large. They are too cherished, and the success rate is very low. Therefore, there is nothing to sell on the market. Generally, some masters who have reached a very high level are really bored, so they refine some for their descendants. Saint-level weapons are generally available. No price. It only shows up occasionally at some big auctions. That's why you don't know."
Lu Yu was shocked and asked, "How powerful is the holy rank?"
"How big? Let me tell you this. Ten intermediate ranks are equivalent to a top rank, and a hundred top ranks are equivalent to a holy rank. If you have a holy rank weapon, even if you have a swordsman's tenth level of cultivation and a sword spirit In the early stage of the battle of masters, it is not always clear who will win." Shopkeeper Zhou said with a sneer.
Lu Yu thought to himself, with the help of the mysterious ring, if he could obtain the materials of holy weapons, he would be able to successfully refine them 100%. With holy weapons, self-protection should not be a problem in this swordsman realm.
Lu Yu suddenly thought of another question in Shopkeeper Zhou's words. He stared at Shopkeeper Zhou and asked calmly, "How can you be sure that I'm under twenty years old?"
"Using the Phantom Talisman can conceal a person's age and stature. But..." Shopkeeper Zhou paused, and took out a bronze mirror from the storage bag, on which faint yellow light flickered. Shopkeeper Zhou took a photo of Lu Yu. After a while, a few simple words appeared on the mirror: "Huang-level single sword spirit root, bone age twelve."
"Magic treasure!" Lu Yu's expression changed immediately when he saw it. It was a specially made spiritual treasure that could detect the bone age and spiritual root of a practitioner. The so-called magic weapon is the realm above the sword spirit—a master of the sword master realm integrates the spells he has cultivated into a special artifact with the technique of refining. In this case, this magic weapon only needs to be injected with mana, and it can instantly cast spells. However, depending on the amount of mana injected, the power of this magic weapon can be determined.
"I didn't expect that a little guy like you knew this thing." Shopkeeper Zhou said.
"How much blood is needed to water it." Lu Yu asked.
"It doesn't need much, just add a few drops after refining." Shopkeeper Zhou replied.
"Does it need to be refined now?" Lu Yu asked the most concerned question, and he didn't believe the nonsense that only a few drops of blood were needed. If you need to refine it now, it is estimated that you are doomed.
"Your mana is too low now, and you can't refine the sword at all. You need at least three levels of cultivation to barely refine it. However, your aptitude is really poor." Shopkeeper Zhou said with a frown.
"So, you give me twenty bottles of Guiyuan pills." Lu Yu finally understood why shopkeeper Zhou wanted to give him Guiyuan pills. It turned out that his poor aptitude saved him a batch of spirit stones.
"I think with the assistance of these twenty bottles of Guiyuan pills, you should be able to reach the third floor of the swordsman within two years. These are all my pills." Shopkeeper Zhou said with a cold look at Lu Yu.
"Can I say no?" Lu Yu said helplessly.
"This is naturally the best, you swear a blood oath." Shopkeeper Zhou regained his composure and said calmly.
"Blood oath?" Lu Yu blurted out, startled.
"You don't know what the blood oath is, do you?" Shopkeeper Zhou said.
Of course Lu Yu knew what the blood oath was. In the world of cultivating immortals, the blood oath was like an invisible force restraining practitioners in the dark. It is similar to the law of the world, but it is not like the law that allows people to take advantage of loopholes. Once this blood oath is established, as long as you violate the oath, you will definitely explode and die immediately.
Lu Yu knew that there was nothing he could do now. If he didn't swear a blood oath, he might not even be able to pass today's test.
Lu Yu could only nod helplessly. Then he said, "What kind of oath do you want me to fulfill?"
"It's very simple. Within two years, you must go to the third floor of the swordsman at least, and come to see me in the cave on the west side of Wufu Mountain. Here is the exact location of the cave." After speaking, shopkeeper Zhou threw a jade slip to Lu Yu. Lu Yu held the jade slip in his hand, closed his eyes and looked, and there was indeed a map with the specific location marked on it.
After Lu Yu put away the jade slips, he also put the Guiyuan Dan in front of shopkeeper Zhou into the storage bag.
Then, Lu Yu took out a small sword and made a cut between his fingers. Pressing on the center of my eyebrows, I said seriously: "I swear by blood, I will reach the third level of swordsman within two years. And I will go to shopkeeper Zhou's cave to meet him in two years." As soon as the words fell, the blood on the center of the eyebrows A quaint pattern was formed, and then it disappeared without a trace between the eyebrows.
Shopkeeper Zhou saw that Lu Yu's blood oath had been made. Zhan Yan smiled, and said: "Little brother is really knowledgeable. Don't worry, as long as you can help me complete that weapon, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you."
Lu Yu snorted coldly: "Now, I can go."
"Of course, anytime. Two years later, I will be waiting for my little brother at Wufushan." Shopkeeper Zhou didn't care about Lu Yu's words at all, and with a simple touch, the aura that shrouded the entire inner room disappeared instantly.
Seeing that the magic circle was closed, Lu Yu didn't want to stay any longer, so he left Yuhexuan directly and came to the noisy street.
As soon as Lu Yu got out of Yuhexuan, he didn't stop there, and mingled directly into the crowd on the street. After a while, I couldn't tell which one was Lu Yu.
There are not only shops in Lianhefang City, but also many inns for practitioners to meditate and practice. Each room will have some small magic circles, which are relatively safe. Many people will live in the inn and slowly choose things from the market. Lu Yu found an inn at random, and after putting a low-grade spirit stone in the magic circle in the room, the defensive magic circle in this room started to operate slowly.
Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, and gradually settled down in his heart. Carefully analyzing what happened in Yuhexuan. This week shopkeeper obviously planned to wait for Lu Yu to take the bait. Lu Yu also wouldn't believe that shopkeeper Zhou was just looking for his own refining tool after two years. Fortunately, I still have two years left. Shopkeeper Zhou didn't know that he still had more than 300 mid-level spirit stones, because he only sold a few mid-level weapons at his place. With these spirit stones, Lu Yu can quickly improve his strength within these two years.
Because he took the Guiyuan Pill given by Liu Yiyi before, now Lu Yu is already a mid-level swordsman. Lu Yu decided to stay in the inn and take the 20 bottles of Guiyuan Pill to refine first, and then see what state he could reach. Then decide how many Guiyuan Pills to buy and go back to the sect to practice. Use the remaining money to see if you can buy some materials to make some weapons and equipment for yourself to increase your strength.
