I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 1999 Slave
Hearing Chen Lin's question, Zhao Qingshan shook his head.

"My Zhao family is just a family of merchants. We don't have such great ambitions, let alone such abilities. We just hope to be able to preserve our lives in troubled times."

Chen Lin did not continue the topic.

The seven southern counties are still peaceful now, and the forces here are unlikely to make any moves. When the war spreads here, ambitious people will naturally emerge.

All he needs to do is to speed up the research on weapons.

"I want to refine some items recently. Can Brother Zhao introduce me to some reliable blacksmiths?"

After talking for a while, Chen Lin made a request.

He has weapon blueprints that can fight against the Grandmaster, and even has quite a few finished products, but the materials from the real world have extremely low defensive power here.

Even the eternal level cannot stop the magical weapons here.

Therefore, if he wants to make the high-end weapons he has in stock play a role, he needs to make a new layer of armor so that it can block the Grandmaster's attack.

"That's easy. Our company's blacksmiths are all first-rate and can be lent to you. However, it's not enough to just have a blacksmith to refine items. You also need a forging site. If Brother Chen wants to forge something, why not just give it to our company to do it?"

Zhao Qingshan took on too much responsibility.

Chen Lin shook his head and refused. "I want to repair an item. It's not very convenient to move it. I have already found a place. I just need a few blacksmiths."

"In addition, I also want to purchase a batch of black crystal stones."

"How much does Brother Chen want?"

When Zhao Qingshan heard that Chen Lin wanted to buy black crystal stone, he became interested.

"I want a thousand pounds."

"A thousand pounds?"

Zhao Qingshan was startled.

He waved his hands and said, "Why do you need so many? How many weapons do you want to make? I dare not sell them to you. If you use them to form a private army, even our company will be implicated."

"hehe."

Chen Lin chuckled.

He looked at the other party and said, "Which of you grandmaster families doesn't have a private army? In this world, if you don't have some means, you may not end well. I just want to protect myself."

Seeing Chen Lin made things clear, Zhao Qingshan calmed down.

shook his head.

"That's too much. Black crystal is a controlled item. Although our company has the authority to mine and sell it, we can't be too blatant. I can only sell you 300 kilograms at most."

"That's three hundred pounds."

Chen Lin did not force it.

Three hundred kilograms is actually enough.

His main purpose is to add a layer of armor to small fighter jets, but not too much.

Zhao Qingshan nodded.

"Three hundred kilograms is fine, but this kind of ore is not cheap. One kilogram costs one hundred gold. And Brother Chen needs to pay in one lump sum. Our company does not accept installment payments."

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment.

He took the sword from his waist and placed it on the table.

Since he was planning to purchase supplies, he naturally made some preparations. This was a sword without intention. Although it could not exert its power here, the fluctuations of the sword's intention were still there.

After testing, Chen Lin discovered that this sword was also helpful to the warriors here.

Because artistic conception is the understanding of one's own way, it has nothing to do with the level of energy of heaven and earth, and is not affected by scene suppression. Moreover, the activation of the unintentional sword does not limit energy, and internal force can also be activated.

"This is?"

Seeing Chen Lin pushing the sword in front of him, Zhao Qingshan picked it up in confusion.

Chen Lin also explained.

"This is a precious sword that contains the sword's will. If you comprehend it carefully, you will be able to sense the essence of the sword's will, which will be of great help in comprehending the sword's will."

"Oh?"

Zhao Qingshan's expression brightened.

Sword intent is a good thing, but it requires accumulation over time, plus chance and coincidence to comprehend. I have never heard that it can be obtained with the help of external forces.

After taking a look, he gently stroked the sword with his hand and concentrated on understanding it.

Although he is not a swordsman, he is also a first-class master and can still confirm whether what Chen Lin said is true or false.

a long time.

Zhao Qingshan opened his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"how?"

Seeing this, Chen Lin was certain and asked with a smile.

This smile comes from the heart.

He still has quite a few Wuyi swords in his hands, and it is even easier to infuse them with sword intent. If he can use them for trading, then he will have another way to make money in the future.

"nice one!"

Zhao Qingshan exclaimed in praise.

But he immediately asked, "Everything in the world must follow a balance. The sword's power cannot last forever. I wonder how long it can last. What method is needed to replenish it after it is used up?"

"The aura will surely dissipate and cannot be restored. By then, the sword will shatter on its own."

Chen Lin didn't hide it either.

There was a pause.

He further explained: "But if it is not released all at once, it can be used for a long time. If the talent is sufficient, it can allow an expert to enter the realm of swordsmanship."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingshan put the sword on the table.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't doubt what Brother Chen said, but if this sword cannot allow people to comprehend the sword's meaning, then its value will not be too exaggerated, and it is definitely not worth 30,000 gold."

"How much do you think it's worth, Brother Zhao?"

Chen Lin didn't think it was worth that much, but he had more than just one sword.

Also.

After repeated research during this period of time, he discovered that what he had was not completely worthless, it was just that he had not found the valuable points before.

"A thousand pieces of gold."

Zhao Qingshan quoted a price.

Chen Lin's smile froze and he immediately took the sword back.

He stood up and pretended to leave.

He said unhappily, "Brother Zhao, you probably don't understand the value of the sword, and you are taking advantage of my ignorance. If you don't want it, I will sell it somewhere else. Good things will never lack buyers."

"Brother Chen, calm down."

Zhao Qingshan immediately spoke out to stop him.

He laughed dryly and said, "I am not trying to lower the price, but the effect of this thing is still unknown, so I can't give you too high a price. How about this? I will send this sword back to my clan and have someone identify it. If it is confirmed to be as Brother Chen said, I can give you three thousand gold."

"Three thousand gold is too little."

Chen Lin flatly refused.

Although he can refine a lot of unintentional swords, he cannot sell them at a low price. After all, there are only a limited number of things that can be sold here, and he must maximize profits.

"Three thousand gold is definitely not a small amount."

Zhao Qingshan was very patient and began to explain the pros and cons to Chen Lin.

"Brother Chen should also know that there is no such thing as gradual progress in sword intent. There is only the difference between understanding it and not understanding it."

"Your sword cannot make anyone master the sword intent. If it fails, the three thousand gold will be wasted. Except for our Zhaoji Company, I'm afraid no one else will give such a high price."

"This is easy to handle."

Chen Lin stretched out his hand and took out another sword.

Then he took out another one.

Put them all on the table.

He smiled and said, "The sword intent of these three swords is the same. Even if a swordsman has average talent, as long as he is dedicated to the way of the sword, he will definitely be able to comprehend the sword intent and use it to offset the three hundred kilograms of black crystal stone, right?"

Zhao Qingshan was stunned.

He looked at Chen Lin deeply.

He picked up the two swords and looked at them, then put them down and said, "Compared to these three swords, I am more curious about where Brother Chen got the swords from. If Brother Chen is willing to teach me this method, the reward from my company will definitely satisfy Brother Chen."

"Not urgent."

Chen Lin smiled. "Transactions must be made bit by bit. If we don't build trust between each other, how can we trade more important things?"

He showed the method of 'taking things out of thin air' in front of the other party just to attract him. As a business, nothing is more valuable than a treasure that can carry items.

He did this in order to obtain what he needed from the other party, as well as the other party's intelligence channels in the northern six counties.

A trading company in the southern seven counties has deployed spies in the northern six counties. The Zhao family is definitely not an ordinary merchant. Maybe they can be used in the future.

Hearing Chen Lin's words, Zhao Qingshan also smiled.

"Brother Chen is right. Let's do the deal as you said. Just consider it as making friends."

"Thank you."

Chen Lin clasped his fists.

The two agreed on the transaction method and then said goodbye and left.

Two hundred miles outside Heishui City.

This is a long mountain range. Because of the existence of underground fire, it is dry all year round and there is almost no grass growing.

But it is indeed a good place to forge weapons.

"Sir, here."

Chen Lin was led into a cave filled with a scorching hot breath, which made his body as red as a branding iron.

Behind him were four burly men, carrying an exaggeratedly large box on a wooden pole as thick as a bowl.

After walking for a while, the burning sensation became stronger and stronger. Chen Lin couldn't hold on any longer and stopped.

His face was very ugly.

The rules of this world were too high, causing his body to be unable to withstand even ordinary flames.

However, the four low-level warriors he hired were not affected at all.

It's really depressing.

Fortunately, the soul level is high enough and there is still some defense. Although the power cannot be released, that is because of the secret technique, not the soul. Otherwise, the Soul-Destroying Finger would not be effective.

"Does the lord need Liangyu?"

The guide looked at Chen Lin in surprise and asked in a questioning tone.

"Have a piece."

Chen Lin did not endure it. He took the one-foot square jade plate and put it close to his body. A cool feeling penetrated into his body, making him feel much better.

"Thank you very much."

Chen Lin thanked him.

The guide smiled and said, "You're welcome. One piece of cool jade costs ten gold coins. It will be deducted from the fee paid by the adults."

Chen Lin's face twitched.

But he didn't say anything. Although he was not rich, he didn't care about the ten gold coins.

However, this experience made him realize the weakness of his physical body, and he must find a way to improve it. Relying solely on the seven-colored bracelet was too slow. He should take advantage of his time in this world to collect more items such as shiny silver fish to improve the level of his physical body.

I just don't know if I can take it out.

While thinking.

Chen Lin's eyes lit up and he came to a place full of flames. There were some stone chambers around it, and there was a constant sound of clanging and knocking coming from them.

"This is it, sir. It's the twelfth forging room. The forger sent by Young Master Zhao is already waiting."

The guide pointed to one of the stone chambers and spoke to Chen Lin.

"it is good."

Chen Lin responded and walked into the stone chamber.

"Okay, you guys go back first. It takes a long time to make items. There's no need to wait here."

After the box was put down, Chen Lin paid the four men their wages and let them leave.

After exchanging a few words with the blacksmith, he opened the box, revealing a large object shining with metallic luster.

"what is this?"

After studying it for a while, the blacksmiths looked at Chen Lin blankly.

"You don't need to worry about what it is. Just cover the outer layer of this thing with a layer of black crystal armor, and the mission will be completed."

Chen Lin didn't explain much.

This thing was a small fighter jet that he had made in the Void Realm using the drawings left by Zhou Jing and the people from the Kaiyuan Sect's Weapon Refining Hall. It used fuel as its power source, carried several high-powered weapons, and could be used by land, sea and air, and did not rely on any supernatural powers at all.

The fuel problem has been solved and can be used normally. The fuel here is extremely effective and can sustain flight for a long time.

With this item, you will be able to fight against a powerful master. You can form a scale and a team. Not to mention being invincible, it will be enough to change the current world situation.

But there is a flaw in this thing.

The material that is powerful enough to defend against real treasures in the void world can be easily cut through by warriors' magic weapons here, so the defensive effect must be increased before it can be put into use.

After hearing Chen Lin's request, several blacksmiths began to study the fighter jet.

After a stick of incense.

The white-haired old man in the lead said, "It's not difficult to attach a layer of black crystal armor, but I think there must be a lot of mechanical connections. If it's attached too thickly, it might affect the rotation. If it's attached too thinly, the defensive effect of the black crystal will be difficult to guarantee. What do you want to do, sir?"

"I want it to be thin. The thinner the better."

Chen Lin answered immediately.

Then take out the two bags.

"Here we have deep sea gold, which will be used to increase the strength and toughness of the black crystal. We also have silkworm wing crystal, which will be used to make a transparent cover to replace the original one."

The white-haired old man opened the bag and examined it.

He pondered and said, "In this case, it will take a long time, at least half a year."

"No problem, but be careful not to damage the things inside. These are precious treasures. You can't afford to pay for them if you damage them."

All the blacksmiths looked stern and nodded solemnly.

The area around the underground fire was too hot, so after giving his instructions, Chen Lin did not linger and immediately returned to Blackwater City.

In the following time, he began to study the Black Tiger Heart-Ripping Technique.

It was soon confirmed that he could not practice this technique, and not only this technique, but the others were probably the same.

Because he is not unable to understand it.

With his current comprehension ability, learning this simple technique is as easy as taking something from a bag. He can start after watching it once. However, no matter how he practices, he cannot form the "internal force".

This feeling is like a person without spiritual roots who cannot cultivate spiritual power.

It was a fundamental defect that could not be remedied, at least he could not find a way to remedy it.

This road is blocked.

Chen Lin decided not to waste time on this, but to speed up the refining of the ice and snow melting wine to improve his soul.

At the same time, ask around in the city to see if you can buy a piece of soft armor with strong defense.

He now has enough attack power.

The Soul-Destroying Finger can be used for long-range or close-range attacks, and its activation speed is extremely amazing here, so even a master would find it difficult to dodge.

But the defense is too weak.

His body is so weak that it's even weaker than that of an ordinary person. Any blow would be enough to make him suffer.

So a piece of soft armor for self-defense is very important.

This day.

After Chen Lin finished refining the spiritual wine, he came to the market again to look for news about soft armor, and suddenly found that something was wrong.

In the livestock selling area of ​​the market, there were unexpectedly thousands of people chained together, including men, women, young and old, numbering in the thousands!
"Brother, who are these people? Are they criminals?"

Chen Lin stopped a middle-aged man and asked him.

The middle-aged man glanced at the crowd.

He said calmly, "They are not criminals, but prisoners of war, who were sold here as slaves. The war in the north seems to be very fierce!"

"Prisoner of war?"

Chen Lin was slightly startled.

Since the prisoners of war were able to be transported back, it looks like the war situation should be in favor of Qi. I wonder if the Liang general who is suspected to be the Silver Fairy has been affected.

Perhaps we can get some information from these slaves.

Think of this.

Chen Lin began to browse among the crowd.
