Great Swordsman

Chapter 214 Bidding, why didn't you add it up? (seeking subscription)

Gu Xingjian walked in with big strides, clasped fists all around, with a refined and easy-going demeanor.

The Gu family followed closely behind, their eyes squeezed into slits by the fat, trying to open wide, maintaining their dignity as the young master.

Behind the two, a group of handsome maidservants in fire-piercing robes followed, responsible for recording the purchase data.

"Master Gu, you are finally here, if you don't come, we will have to open the kiln ourselves!"

"Master Gu, there are over a hundred sword kilns here, are you planning to buy them one by one, or all at once?"

To be invited by the Sword General Villa, the people present are either strong in cultivation or backed by powerful forces, and have their own demeanor. While continuing to observe the sword kiln, they greeted Gu Xingjian from a distance.

Gu Xingjian came to the magma cave, turned around and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, there is only one rule for buying this time, that is, the one with the highest price wins! You can freely observe the sword kiln here, and bid directly with the maidservant of the village for which one you like. , if there is no higher one within a quarter of an hour, this sword kiln is yours!"

Hearing this, the eyes of many people in the field brightened slightly.

Because there are enough sword kilns here, and there are only twenty or thirty factions from each side, if they can rush to buy at the same time, then as long as each faction spreads out, they can at least win one or two!

Of course, it would be a different story if someone was staring at her all the time.

Niu Mao, Minister of Shaofu Temple, came to Li Mu's side with a smile, and said, "Magistrate Li has a lot of blessings, which one do you like?"

He made it clear that he wanted to compete with Li Mu to the end, no matter which one Li Mu chose, he would follow!

Naturally, with his 'financial resources', it is impossible to take pictures of everything, but behind him there are Jiutian Yingyuanshen Mansion and Shu Palace, which can make Li Mu 'bankrupt' to the greatest extent!
Niu Mao was looking forward to Li Mu's distraught appearance.

"Li Mu?" You Lan sensed the other party's sinister intentions and was a little worried.

Li Mu smiled inscrutablely, and said: "You Lan, Leng Mei, you don't need to follow me, I will look around by myself."

He took the wooden bowl from the doll.

In the wooden bowl, the golden koi floated quietly in the water, flicking its tail from time to time, splashing a little bit of water.

"I'll ask you to take care of the doll first." Li Mu threw the doll to Youlan.

"Li Mu, don't lose my baby~" the baby said loudly, for fear that Li Mu would lose her wooden bowl.

"Understood." Li Mu brought the groom to a sword kiln.

This sword kiln is very severely cracked, and it is densely covered with cracks as thick as fingers. If you look closely, you can faintly see a cold glow.

"Magistrate Li really has a good eye. This sword kiln is full of cold light, and you can tell that there must be a peerless weapon inside!" Niu Mao also came up to observe, and then looked at Li Mu expectantly, hoping that he would make an offer to buy it. !
Li Mu took one look and left.

The groom followed closely behind. Although he was very curious about these sword kilns, he also knew that the people who could appear here were not Yi Yi's generation. In order to avoid causing trouble to the adults, he gritted his teeth and kept silent the whole time.

At this time, not far away from the Western Region Buddhist Kingdom, Mo Hui pointed to a sword kiln and said, "This kiln is destined for my Buddha, and I will pay you a hundred catties of fire-spirited sand!"

"Five six-turn gold elixirs come out of the poor way!" Quan Ding, who was pure and clear, stepped out, intending to kill him.

"Amitabha, there are more than a hundred sword kilns here, why should fellow Taoist Quanding make things difficult for me." Mo Hui was a little displeased.

Although his cultivation and seniority are not all set high, but he is backed by the Buddhist kingdom of the Western Regions. There are three great Bodhisattvas, eight dragons, and eighteen Vajras.

"This sword kiln is not only related to Buddha, but also related to Dao. Don't think too much about it, Master Mohui. The poor Taoist has no intention of targeting you." Quan Ding said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Huh!" Mo Hui snorted coldly, and wanted to leave, but at this moment, many people gathered around. After all, it was the first time to rush to buy. The final transaction price is well known.

Mo Hui saw the people around him, and thought to himself that if he retreated at this time, would it make people think that the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions was afraid of him?

No!

Can't go back!

Mo Hui clasped his hands together and said, "Since that's the case, I'll give you five Great Vajra Pills."

"Great Vajra Pill, the name is vulgar, I don't know what effect it has." Someone around asked.

Mo Hui took out a jade bottle from the stored spirit treasure, poured out one, and said, "If you take this pill, you can get the protection of the Vajra within half an hour. It can also run like thunder!"

"It's interesting. The Six-Turn Golden Elixir can quickly restore the evil spirit of the Earth Sha cultivator. It focuses on healing, but the Vigorous Vajra Elixir is more offensive. I wonder how the Sword General Villa will be seized?" Someone looked at the maid who was in charge of recording.

The maid didn't rush, bowed down and bowed to everyone, and then said: "Dear guests, is there a higher price?"

Everyone couldn't help being startled when they heard this, and then suddenly realized, yes, since the two kinds of elixir are indistinguishable, why don't they just ask for a higher price?
After realizing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that Jianjiang Villa is really dark, even the maidservant is too dark!

"My lord will bring out a 5000-year-old pearl, and a thousand-year-old red fire coral, and please cut it off!" A young man walked into the crowd, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like a crown of jade.

Many people around recognized his identity and whispered there.

"Who is this person? How dare he join in with the Western Region Buddhist Kingdom and Shenqing Temple." Li Mu stood outside the crowd, and because he was tall enough, he could clearly see the situation inside.

On the other hand, Niu Mao next to him was already on tiptoe, but he still couldn't see him, and naturally he couldn't answer Li Mu's question.

"Brother, this man is the only son of Marquis Dingbo, Lei Gan!" At this time, the owner of Shaozhuang, the Gu family, came to find him.

"Marquis Dingbo... Lei Duankun?" Li Mu frowned. This guy is actually the sixth son of the dragon and tiger list. No wonder he dared to challenge Quan Ding, who was walking in the Buddhist kingdom of the Western Regions and in the same realm as Earth Sha!

"Brother, Lei Gan has always been a rebellious person. Fortunately, he has a strict father. He usually does not offend me and I will not offend others." The Gu family changed the subject and asked, "Brother, which one do you like? I will help you." You palm your eyes!"

Although he didn't participate in sword casting, he grew up here and had some knowledge.

However, Li Mu waved his hands and refused. If the Gu family took control, it would be cheaper for Niu Mao.

At this time, after Lei Gan made a bid in the field, Quan Ding of Shenqingguan did not bid again, and withdrew from the bidding.

Seeing this, Mo Hui groaned for half his salary and then folded his palms together and withdrew.

Anyway, the one who retreats first is the concept of Shenqing, even if others talk about it, it is the concept of Shenqing that bears the brunt.

Lei Gan looked at the people around him with a smile: "Do you have a higher price?"

This is the first sword kiln. Naturally, everyone will not viciously compete with the sixth son of the dragon and tiger list, and they all shook their heads.

But they didn't leave either, they were all waiting for the kiln to open.

A quarter of an hour later, the maid announced that Lei Gan had succeeded in buying.

Lei Gan ordered his subordinates to hand over the Lingbao to the maidservant, and then...the kiln was opened!
The tool for opening the kiln is the special iron hammer of Jianjiang Villa, with a pointed end and a flat end. This hammer can open mountains and crack rocks.

The maid swung the hammer, filled it with spiritual energy, and lightly hit the sword kiln with the hammer.

Kaka…

The stone skin on the surface of the sword kiln was chapped deeper and deeper, and after two hammers, it was completely cracked.

Countless gravel rolled down from the sword kiln, revealing a pair of black hilts.

"Young Master Lei, you can draw your sword now," said the maidservant at the side.

"Interesting." Lei Gan stepped forward to hold a sword hilt, which was hot to the touch, as if it had been poured with hot oil.

With a little force, he pulled out the sword.

Zheng~
Sen Han's sword was pulled out inch by inch from the stone kiln, but only halfway through, the blade split from it.

"Unfortunately, it is a defective product."

"The blade of this sword is very cold. If it becomes a sword, it will surely break your hair. It's a pity, it's a pity."

Lei Gan frowned slightly, handed the broken sword to his subordinates, and began to draw the second sword.

zheng~~
This time, Senhan's sword blade came out from the stone and was fully displayed in front of everyone.

"Excellent sword!" Li Mu didn't see his action, but just heard his sword chanting and realized that the quality of this sword is extraordinary!
"Brother Gu, your sword casting method is really different!" Li Mu boasted.

The Gu family chuckled and said, "Brother, in fact, the method of casting swords in our villa is similar to that of the blacksmiths outside, but the final tempering of the sword is 'slightly' different."

He told Li Mu that after ordinary blacksmiths forged swords, they either tempered their swords with mountain springs, cold streams, or human blood, while their Sword Master Villa tempered their swords with lava rocks! !

First of all, the sword is sealed in the lava rock with a secret method, and then it is roasted with the ground fire, that is, the magma. The sword that is quenched in this way is better if it is good, and worse if it is bad. It is completely two extremes!
For blacksmiths who pursue the success rate, it is naturally not advisable, but for those who pursue quality like Jianjiang Villa, it is the best way to temper swords.

"Master Gu, do you know how to seal the sword in the lava stone?" Niu Mao who was next to him heard the conversation and asked with a smile.

The Gu family frowned.

This method of tempering the sword is the core secret method of Sword General Villa, how can it be leaked?
But it was the people around the elder brother who were asking questions... The Gu family looked at Li Mu with some embarrassment.

Li Mu glanced at Niu Mao, and shook his head full of sighs: "Master Niu, it's not a gentleman's job to ask someone else's secret method in person, you... read the sage's book in vain! I don't even bother to be with you, but you have a thick skin, sure. won't go."

"Hehe..." Niu Mao was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I just asked casually, Master Gu and County Magistrate Li must not think too much."

The Gu family seemed to understand, and looked at Niu Mao with a look of vigilance.

On the other side, Lei Gan had already pulled out all the hilts of the swords from the lava rock, four of them were incomplete, and there were six good swords!
And among these six good swords, there are four low-grade swords and two middle-grade swords!
Everyone said that Lei Gan's bidding... lost money!
But Lei Gan didn't care. After all, his family lived by the East China Sea. Whether it was 5000-year-old deep-sea pearls or thousand-year-old fire coral, his family had a lot of them!
It was the joy of rushing to buy that made him unable to extricate himself. He ordered his subordinates to put away the sword blades, and he immediately walked towards other sword kilns. .
After watching the excitement, the rest of the people generally knew what to expect, so they also scattered and started to buy separately.

"Brother Gu, how do you distinguish the grades of your swords?" Li Mu asked looking at the scattered crowd.

The Gu family hurriedly said: "I don't know how outsiders distinguish, but in my Sword General Villa, if you want to enter the lower rank, you have to blow hair and cut hair, the middle rank is to wear gold and crack stones, and the top rank is to cut iron like mud. Already!"

If the standard of Jianjiang Villa is used, it is extremely difficult just to enter the rank... Li Mu was amazed, and then thought that the so-called magic weapon should refer to Seven Star Dragon Yuan, and he couldn't help asking curiously: "Can Jianjiang Villa now Are you casting divine soldiers?"

"Brother, if you want to cast magic weapons, not only do you have extremely high requirements on materials, but also the right time, place and people are indispensable!" The Gu family said that their Sword General Villa can only cast demigod weapons so far!
"Even demigod soldiers are rare in the world." Niu Mao on the side asked with a smile: "May I ask the young owner, are there any demigod soldiers in this rush buying meeting?"

The Gu family smiled at him: "Master Niu, I don't know either."

If I know it, I won't tell you... The Gu family said in their hearts.

Niu Mao didn't get angry, and turned his head to remind Li Mu with a smile: "If Li County Magistrate doesn't take action, the good sword kiln will be bought by others."

"Thank you, Master Niu, for reminding me." Seeing him dancing so happily, Li Mu was not polite anymore.

He took out a branch from his arms and threw it high.

"Brother, what are you?" The Gu family was a little puzzled when they saw Li Mu operating.

"This is called an immortal guiding the way." Li Mu had an inscrutable smile on his face.

"Magistrate Li is planning to use this to find the sword kiln?" Niu Mao next to him was also speechless.

"Why, Master Niu doesn't believe in my source of blessing?" Li Mu frowned, staring at him pretending to be displeased.

"Don't dare." Niu Mao smiled and cupped his hands, saying: "Magistrate Li, I will wait and see."

The branch fell to the ground, pointing southeast.

Li Mu picked up the branch and walked in the direction, passing seven or eight sword kilns nearby, and finally, he was blocked by a sword kiln with a smooth stone surface.

It should be it... Li Mu looked at the maid beside the sword kiln and asked, "Is there anyone bidding for this sword kiln?"

The maid first bowed to Gu's family, and then said to Li Mu: "I have never returned to the honored guest."

"Very good!" Li Mu pretended to be happy, and quickly said, "I'll give you five drops of Emperor's Ointment!"

Although Li Mu always used 'bowls' to measure the ointment when he sent the emperor's ointment, but in fact this thing is very precious outside, so it can be counted by 'dips'!

As for the black fruit, Li Mu was not in a hurry to take it out.

"Yes, honored guest." The maid hurriedly recorded.

"Hehehe, County Magistrate Li has taken a fancy to this kiln?" Niu Mao followed behind like a dog's skin plaster, smiling and circling around the sword kiln, stroking his beard and nodding from time to time, praising: "The skin of this sword kiln is smooth and smooth. It has the color of pearls and jade, um, not bad! County magistrate Li threw a branch at random, and there is such a chance, he is worthy of being a poet and sword fairy!"

As he said that, he bowed his hands to Li Mu and said with a smile: "This official has also taken a fancy to this kiln, I wonder if the magistrate Li can part with it?"

"Master Niu, it's not good for you to do this!" The Gu family was frightened and furious. Although they had already noticed the discord between the eldest brother and Mr. Niu, they didn't expect him to behave like this!
"Buy and buy, isn't it that the one with the highest price gets it? Brother Gu, there is no need to get angry." Li Mu asked with a confident look, "Master Niu, please feel free to bid!"

"The county magistrate Li will give out five drops of Emperor's Ointment, and the official will add another five drops!" Niu Mao laughed.

He came here not only to represent the imperial court, but also entrusted by the king of Chu. It can be said that he is rich and powerful, and the price increase is directly doubled!
"I'll give you fifteen drops!" Li Mu said in a loud voice while integrating his mind into Jian Xin, carefully sensing Niu Mao's breath.

"Twenty drops." Niu Mao smiled unhurriedly.

Li Mu: "25 drops!"

"Three..." Niu Mao seemed to feel that adding five drops to five drops was too petty, so he directly increased it to one hundred!
"One hundred drops!" Niu Mao stretched out a finger, and looked at Li Mu provocatively.

"150 drops!" Li Mu raised the price decisively.

"Three hundred drops!" Niu Mao immediately answered, and at the same time, he sneered in his heart: Li Mu, Li Mu, you are young and vigorous, and you will show your youthful nature when you are provoked by me, hum!
Waiting for you to increase the price, I will not accompany you.

After all, three hundred drops of Emperor Ointment, enough to be exchanged for a thousand six-rank golden pills outside!
Unless a demigod soldier is deployed, Li Mu of Jianyao will definitely be paid!
So what about the depth of your city?
This official will not kill you!

He looked at Li Mu with glowing eyes, waiting for his offer.

Li Mu... cupped his hands: "I quit, Master Niu, I wish you good luck!"

Eh?
Niu Mao was taken aback, dumbfounded.

Why...why didn't you add it up? !
