In the middle of the main road in Yicheng, there is a three-storey high-rise building that occupies a very large area. There is a horizontal plaque hanging on the main entrance, and there are three gold-plated characters written on it—Vientiane Building!
In an alley more than ten feet away from the Vientiane Building.
"Qingshan and I will go to Vientiane Building, and you guys will go to Old Wang's in Qianjie to sell all the animal skins. Then, we will gather in this alley." Teng Yongfan ordered, and then glanced at Teng Qinghu, "Qinghu, you too I haven't been in the Vientiane Building, do you want to go in together?"
"Of course I want to!" Teng Qinghu said with his head held high.
"Then hand over the weapons to Lao Wang and the others for temporary storage." Teng Yongfan said, "Qingshan, you also hand over the guns. You are not allowed to bring weapons into the Vientiane Building."
"The rules are really big!" Teng Qingshan also handed over his iron gun to the clansmen.
Afterwards, Teng Yongfan, Teng Qingshan, and Teng Qinghu walked towards the Vientiane Building. The two heroic women at the main entrance of the Vientiane Building both had sharp swords around their waists and greeted every guest with a smile. At the same time, remind those guests not to bring weapons into the Vientiane Building.
The three of Teng Qingshan and the others were dressed as hunters and walked in, but the two women did not stop them.
"This place is really big enough." Teng Qinghu's eyes widened all of a sudden.
Teng Qingshan was also secretly shocked, the interior space of this Vientiane building is huge, there are counters everywhere, there are over a hundred guys standing at the counters in this Vientiane building alone. And that's just the first floor.
"Qingshan, in this Vientiane building, all religions and streams can come in. Moreover, there are a lot of things here, everything you need." Teng Yongfan said with emotion, "This floor and the second floor are all for sale. As for the third floor...no outsiders are allowed to enter at all, but Good stuff, but the price is outrageous!"
Teng Qingshan looked at the items on the counter, and secretly admired: "This Vientiane Building is magnificent, and the precious items are placed directly outside, so there is no fear of being snatched or stolen!" It was discovered that in this Vientiane building, apart from the general guys, there were also some special patrolling people.
"It's probably a master of internal strength, to prevent someone from stealing." Teng Qingshan thought secretly.
Teng Qinghu widened his eyes, staring at a bracelet next to him: "Isn't this a blue flower stone bracelet? We happened to collect a large piece of blue flower stone when we went into the mountain, and we only sold it for a hundred taels of silver. Then one piece of blue flower stone is enough to buy There are dozens of bracelets, but this one actually costs one hundred and twenty taels of silver."
The guy standing at the counter just glanced at Teng Qinghu with disdain.
At first glance, they looked like poor mountain people. With such clothes, it was impossible to buy these exquisitely crafted bracelets.
"Okay, let's take a look inside." Teng Yongfan frowned, glared at Teng Qinghu, then walked to the side, and said in a low voice, "Qinghu, don't make such a fuss, it's embarrassing, you know?"
Teng Qinghu smiled and said no more.
"Father, what are you buying here?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"Buy some materials for making weapons. This time the refining of the Bihan knife is almost exhausted. It's time to buy some. There are no other places in Yicheng, only here." Teng Yongfan then walked straight inside, "Go, to make weapons Take a look at the material counter, let you open your eyes."
Generally, men in the village are dumbfounded when they come to Wanxiang Building for the first time.
But to Teng Qingshan, this Vientiane Building, which is much smaller in area and has a lot less items than those large shopping plazas in his previous life, will not surprise him much.
Teng Qingshan and his group came to the counter selling weapon manufacturing materials.
"A lot of messy things." Teng Qinghu muttered.
Indeed, there are various metal blocks, or stones, and even some powdery objects on the counter. In short, the things here look very inconspicuous. But the price is amazing.
"Look, Qingshan." Teng Yongfan pointed to a piece of silver metal with special markings in front of the counter, "This is called star pattern steel. It should be said that it is the steel with the best toughness that can be refined today. It is made The best material for a long gun barrel! Of course, the price is also very high."
Seeing that Teng Yongfan knew the goods, the clerk at the counter proudly praised: "This long spear barrel made of star-pattern steel is hard to break even for the legendary invincible strongmen who have reached the innate realm."
"Innate realm?" Teng Qingshan was secretly startled.
Sure enough, as the "Millennium Chronicle" said, in an era of abundant spiritual energy in the world, it is possible to give birth to innate strong people.
"What!" Teng Qinghu stared, staring at the piece of paper under the small piece of star-pattern steel, "One catty of star-pattern steel costs one catty of gold?"
Teng Qingshan also looked at the price, secretly surprised.
This star pattern steel is actually equivalent to gold. In this world, the purchasing power of gold is very amazing. One tael of star pattern steel is equal to one tael of gold, which is equal to one hundred taels of silver.
"Star pattern steel is very heavy. To make a spear completely out of star pattern steel, at least one hundred catties of star pattern steel is needed." The guy smiled lightly, "That is one hundred catties of gold, which is one hundred thousand taels of silver. ! If you are not a rich man or a powerful warrior, you can’t afford this money at all.”
Teng Qingshan gasped.
God, one hundred thousand taels of silver? Make a gun barrel? The remaining money in Tengjiazhuang is only about 20,000 taels of silver.
"Thousand-year-old cold iron?" Teng Qingshan stared at a black stone next to the star-patterned steel, and felt a threatening cold air, which made people feel it even before touching it.
"Well, this thousand-year-old iron cannot be smelted, it is excavated from various places. However, the price is much lower than that of star-pattern steel. A catty of thousand-year-old iron requires two taels of gold!" Teng Yongfan said beside him, the thousand-year-old iron The price of iron is 20% of star grain steel.
Of course, this is still not something Teng Qingshan and the others can afford.
"These materials..." Teng Qingshan was full of admiration from the bottom of his heart. It is indeed an era when the world is full of spiritual energy, and many magical materials can be bred. In the previous life, the material of thousand-year-old cold iron was only described in books, and it has long been absent in modern society. Such a magic metal.
"Qingshan, you go to other places to have a look. After I buy the materials, I will call you to go together." Teng Yongfan said.
"Okay, Dad."
Teng Qingshan and his cousin Qinghu wandered around other counters in the Vientiane Building.
"Qingshan, Qingshan." Teng Qinghu suddenly pulled Teng Qingshan a few times, and Teng Qingshan looked at him suspiciously: "What's the matter?" A handsome man in a long gown and a lovely girl in a white mink fur walked into the Vientiane Building together.
Behind them, there are guards and servants.
"It's the daughter of that big salt merchant." Teng Qinghu lowered his voice.
"It's indeed her." Teng Qingshan also found out, but his attention was more on the man, "It's the twelfth lunar month, but that handsome young man is only wearing a long gown, not cold at all. It seems that he is practicing A master of inner strength."
"Qingshan." Teng Qinghu peeked into the distance, and said in a low voice, "Miss Qianjin is different from the girls in the mountains in our village. Look at the girl with fair skin, and her face...is tenderer than the girl in the brothel. " Teng Qinghu's words made Teng Qingshan dumbfounded.
"It's up to you to look closely. What's the point of peeking from afar? When you go back to the manor, you won't be able to see it anymore." Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
The girls in the mountains have been working since childhood, exposed to the wind and the sun, how can they compare with these rich girls who stretch out their hands for clothes and open their mouths for food
"Well, take a closer look." Teng Qinghu really had the guts to walk over there.
…
"Brother Liu, you and I brag about how powerful you are, so let me ask you, is your name on the Qianlong list?" When he got closer, Teng Qingshan heard that the daughter of the salt merchant was approaching the young man in green shirt. ask a question.
"Qing Yu, those who can be on the list of potential dragons are one of the best in the entire Kyushu. Which one hasn't cultivated inner strength since childhood? I practiced late... But I don't care about the list of potential dragons. My ambition is to be famous. Ranked on the list! Those who can be ranked on the list are the real heroes!"
The salt merchant's daughter 'Li Qingyu' covered her mouth and laughed: "I can't make it to the Qianlong list, but I still want to be on the land list?"
The young man's face turned red: "Qing Yu, don't make fun of me, it's just an ambition! Also, I, Senior Brother Qinghudao, is a generation of heroes who are also on the Qianlong list and the land list. You all return to Yuanzong!" What about it? On the Qianlong list and the land list, you Gui Yuanzong doesn't have a single person, right?"
"Your elder brothers are powerful, not you." Qing Yu snorted.
"Okay, Qing Yu, don't be angry." The young man coaxed, "Aren't you going to buy the Qianlong Bangbang and the Young Phoenix Bang? Dude, two copies of the Qianlong Bangbang and the Young Phoenix Bang."
Teng Qingshan clearly saw that the clerk took out four thread-bound books, each of which was at least as thick as a finger, and the top one had three big characters written in flamboyant and phoenix dances—'Qianlong Bangbang'. Then the servant behind the young man paid immediately, it was four hundred taels of silver bills.
"Four hundred taels?" Teng Qingshan was secretly startled, "Four books are only four hundred taels? Why is it so expensive?"
Books should be cheap.
The pair of handsome men and beautiful women also walked towards other counters, but Teng Qingshan came to the counter where books were sold just now. The most eye-catching ones are three books. And "Di Bang", among which "Qianlong Bang" and "Young Phoenix Bang" are very thick, only "Di Bang" is very thin.
Among them, the first two books are worth a hundred taels of silver each, while "Di Bang" is worth ten taels of silver.
"What are these three books?" Teng Qingshan asked.
The guy in the shop glanced at Teng Qingshan, who was still a teenager, and said with a smile: "Little guy, these three books describe the famous heroes in Kyushu and their biographies. If you want to buy them, ask your lord Silver." Most of the people who buy these books are people who practice inner strength, or rich children who worship warriors, so the prices of these books are extremely expensive.
Teng Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
Although he now knows that there are eight super sects in the land of Kyushu, he still doesn't understand many things.
"I bought that "Di Bang"." Teng Qingshan said, and at the same time took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his bosom.
As the leader of the hunter team in the clan, he will be given ten taels of silver every month. In the clan, the leader of the hunter team, the master of marksmanship, and the first blacksmith made the most contributions and gave the most money in the clan. In fact, the monthly salary of ten taels of silver is still lower than that of some guards in Yicheng.
It's just that they serve the clan after all, so it's impossible to ask too much.
"Qingshan, ten taels of silver for a book?" Teng Qinghu, who was next to him, just turned his attention away from the salt merchant's daughter, when he discovered that Teng Qingshan spent ten taels of silver to buy a book.
"For me, this book is worth the price." Teng Qingshan took the book from the clerk with a smile.
"Hmph, your father knows, he will definitely tell you." Teng Qinghu pouted.
But Teng Qingshan stood there, flipping through the book.
