Full level ruthless person.

Chapter 165 Reception
In fact, scale powder is a strange metal, also known as flash copper, which is in powder form at room temperature.

As long as a small amount of flash copper is mixed into the secondary material iron, at the appropriate temperature, an extremely magical third-level material can be synthesized, namely Kobelco!

Through different synthesis methods, Kobelco with completely different characteristics can be obtained.

So, Kobelco can be very hard.

defense, impregnable;
Attack, invincible.

At the same time, Kobelco can also be very thin, soft and highly malleable.

But no matter what kind of Kobelco it is, its surface has complex patterns that look like fish scales, which is really beautiful.

For this reason, armor made of Kobelco as the main material not only has extremely high defensive strength and is invulnerable to water and fire, but is also as soft as satin and can be worn on the body like embroidered clothes, so it is called scale clothing.

"Scale clothing powder is rare and expensive, and it is a contraband subject to the imperial court's control. Trading is strictly prohibited."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly put away the paper, thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Xigou sent a message and asked: "What do you say?"

Fang Zhixing was silent for a while and replied: "There are tortoise stones at the bottom of the river, but scale clothing powder is difficult. Even if you have money, you can't buy it."

Xigou understood and responded: "Then choose to practice "River Water". You are so good at water, can you just jump into the bottom of the river and touch 100 turtle stones to come up?"

Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Moire stones are fossils, not pebbles, and there are not that many of them.

In addition, not every river has tortoise stone at the bottom. This thing is only found in the rapids of the restricted river. "

But Xigou thought it didn't matter, and said straightly: "Then just go to the restricted area and look for it. It's just to spend more time."

"..."

Fang Zhixing didn't want to talk to such a brainless dog, so he turned his head and looked at the old man with the white beard.

"Master, is there anything else?"

The old man with the white beard counted the money and asked with a smile.

Fang Zhixing asked: "Old Pavilion Master, where can I get tortoise stone and scale powder?"

The old man with a white beard stroked his beard and replied: "The turtle stone and scale powder are rare things and not easy to get."

Hearing this, Fang Zhixing's mind moved, and he lowered his voice and asked: "You have great magical powers, so you must have a way, right?"

The old man with a white beard rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, people have had the custom of wearing jade to protect longevity, and turtle stone is one of them.

For this reason, tortoise stone is very popular in the antique and jade markets. It is a long-lasting and high-value artwork. You can go shopping in the 'Old Street'. "

Fang Zhixing was overjoyed and asked, "What about the Lin Yi Fen?"

The white-bearded old man looked solemn and said sternly: "You can't touch that thing. It's a serious crime to behead someone."

Having said this, he deliberately turned his head and rubbed his fingers casually.

Fang Zhixing understood quickly and took out a golden ticket and stuffed it into his hand.

The old man with a white beard was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Master, everyone knows that Linyi Powder comes from copper mines, but few people know which copper mine it comes from.

I happened to investigate and learned that that kind of copper mine is actually called 'amphibite'!
If you buy and sell scale powder directly, you are committing a capital crime. However, if you purchase amphibole and hire some skilled craftsmen to help you smelt and purify it, you can also get some scale powder. "

"amphibole……"

Fang Zhixing suddenly realized it and wrote it down.

Not long after, he walked out of Fengyin Pavilion and went to Tianbao Chamber of Commerce first.

"Do you want to buy turtle stone?"

The lady in charge of receiving Fang Zhixing was also the first to hear about turtle stone and was a little unfamiliar with it.

She checked the treasure directory of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce and soon made a discovery.

"Moire stones are usually used as decorations for the powerful, and the quantity is relatively scarce. Generally, only princes and nobles will collect them and wear them on their bodies, which has the meaning of praying for blessings and longevity."

The receptionist shook her head and said: "Our chamber of commerce does not have moire stone in its inventory. It is out of stock."

Knowing what was going on, he turned around and left Tianbao Chamber of Commerce and rode towards the old street.

Xigou couldn't help but remind him: "Condition 1 is written very clearly. It clearly requires you to salvage moire stones. The ones you bought don't count."

"You are stupid!"

Fang Zhixing glanced sideways at Xigou and said disdainfully: "How about using your brain? I can buy 100 turtle stones first, throw them into the rapids, and then dive to the bottom of the river to fish them up. Wouldn't that complete the task?" "

"Ah this..."

Xigou was speechless for a moment, thinking that this bastard was trying to get a bug.

After a while...

Fang Zhixing walked into the antique market.

It’s also very lively here, with street stalls everywhere.

As soon as Fang Zhixing entered, he was surrounded by several vendors, selling their good products.

For example, an incense burner used by a previous emperor, or an authentic work of a historical celebrity, etc.

Fang Zhixing asked about moire stone while strolling.

"Sir, you are here by chance. Our store happened to receive a piece of moire stone a few years ago, which is our store's treasure."

A sheep-bearded boss brought up a beautiful brocade box from under the counter and opened it carefully.

Fang Zhixing stretched his head and took a look, and his face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

I saw a piece of jade the size of a palm inside the box. It was translucent and white, crystal clear and jade-like, with beautiful tortoise patterns on the surface.

You can tell at a glance that this thing is expensive to die for!
Boss Yang Xiu introduced it enthusiastically: "This turtle-patterned stone in my collection looks real at first glance when you open the door. There is no cotton or crack at all. It is definitely a top quality product!"

Fang Zhixing remained silent for a while and asked: "Boss, what's the selling price?"

The sheep-bearded boss raised two fingers, put them away, and said with a smile: "The fixed price is 80 yuan."

Fang Zhixing was speechless for a moment.

He asked: "What's the lowest price?"

The sheep-bearded boss smiled and said: "Sir, gold is valuable and jade is priceless, 80 yuan is already considered cheap. So, if you really want it, you can take away 78 yuan directly!"

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but fall into silence.

A piece of tortoise stone is worth so much. Isn’t 100 yuan a sky-high price?

"Hahaha~"

Seeing this, Xigou couldn't help laughing and said jokingly: "I didn't expect that tortoise stone might be harder to get than scale powder!"

Card bug failed!
Fang Zhixing's brows knitted into a knot, his expression slightly depressed.

"Well, let's go home first and think of another way."

Fang Zhixing was helpless for the time being, so he immediately returned to Yixiangzhai without stopping.

It was afternoon in a flash.

It suddenly started raining!

The clouds are thick and the rain is falling.

A young man in gray clothes rode to Yixiangzhai, knocked on the door, and handed an invitation to Fang Maofu by name.

The servant accepted the invitation and handed it to Hongye.

Soon, Hongye took the invitation to the study and placed it in front of Fang Zhixing.

Fang Zhixing glanced around and found that the invitation was not signed, so he didn't know who the inviter was.

"Hey, why would someone invite me to a cocktail party?" Fang Zhixing was surprised. He was just a transparent person in the county, with no relatives or friends. Who would invite him to a cocktail party?
But the guest not only knew where he lived, but also knew that his name was Fang Maofu, which was very strange.

Hong Ye looked at the totem on the invitation carefully, her expression changed, and she said in surprise: "Could it be that this is an invitation from the Wu family?!"

She pointed to the totem with crossed swords and said seriously: "This is the emblem of the Wu family, a small family. Others dare not impersonate it easily."

Fang Zhixing frowned and said, "How did the Wu family know about me? Is this arranged by the eldest lady?"

Hong Ye was not sure, so he responded: "I will ask for you, but you have to attend this cocktail party. The Wu family is one of the eight great families in Qinghe County, ranking first, and the family background is even higher than that of the Dong family. , it’s best not to offend them.”

Knowing that it was clear what was going on, he immediately ordered his servants to prepare bath water.

He took a shower and changed into new clothes before going out and heading north to the Wu family's residence.

In about half an hour!
Fang Zhixing held an umbrella, got off his horse, took out the invitation and walked to the gate of the Wu family's residence, and was let in smoothly.

A servant led him and the thin dog to a villa.

Fang Zhixing looked around and saw that the inner courtyard of this courtyard was filled with balconies, winding corridors, and extremely luxurious decorations. Everywhere was magnificent and majestic.

Regardless of these for now, let's just talk about the size. The area of ​​this villa alone is actually larger than his Yixiangzhai.

The gap between the rich and the extremely rich may be far greater than the gap between the rich and the poor.

"Alas, wealth is indeed concentrated in the hands of the 1%."

Fang Zhixing sighed softly.

"Master Fang Zhai, please come this way."

The servant pointed to a noisy attic and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Fang Zhixing cheered up, walked into the door slowly, then raised his head and looked around.

I saw many young men and women gathered in a bright and bright hall, all of them well-dressed and decorated with gold and jade.

The men are all strong and tall, with extraordinary bearing and majesty.

Every woman has a strong figure, good looks, and a good figure.

The most terrible thing is that the words they use in conversation and the demeanor in their behavior all reveal the noble dignity of the superiors and should not be blasphemed.

At this moment, there seemed to be many Luo Keji, Luo Kezhao, and Luo Qianqian appearing in front of Fang Zhixing.

"What a big scene..."

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but tensed his face. He concluded almost instantly that the people attending this cocktail party were either rich or noble, and most of them were children of well-established families.

"Master Fang Zhai, my lady has invited you to come over." The servant smiled.

Fang Zhixing nodded, walked through the crowd, and came to a young woman in red.

This young woman has a pair of clear and bright eyes, curved eyebrows, long eyelashes, flawless white skin with a hint of pink, and thin lips as delicate as rose petals.

She stood there with a graceful manner, like a beautiful fairy descending from the sky, unconventional.

Fang Zhixing was immediately surprised, but he was cautious and immediately saluted seriously: "I, Fang Maofu, would like to pay my respects to Miss Wu."

Wu Hongqiu tilted his head slightly, looked at Fang Zhixing for a while, and said in surprise: "Are you Fang Maofu? I didn't expect you to be so young."

Fang Zhixing was immediately speechless. I dare you to invite me here, but you don't know anything about me.

He asked curiously: "May I ask Miss Wu, you and I have never met each other, why did you invite me to your cocktail party?"

Wu Hongqiu said bluntly: "Because your name has been circulating in our circle recently, everyone is very curious about what kind of person you are."

Fang Zhixing frowned, looking confused.

At this time, someone walked over in a big way.

Fang Zhixing glanced out of the corner of his eye and immediately noticed a black tiger totem on the young man's chest.

"Sister Hongqiu, who is he? Why have I never seen him before?" the young man asked, looking at Fang Zhixing.

Wu Hongqiu smiled faintly and said: "Let me introduce you, he is the man of the hour, Fang Maofu, the master of Yixiangzhai."

She turned to Fang Zhixing again, "This is Feng Xingkan, the young master of the Black Tiger Clan."

Fang Zhixing thought as expected, cupped his hands and said, "Fang has met Master Feng, and has admired his name for a long time."

Feng Xingkan's eyes widened, he glared at Fang Zhixing, and said in a deep voice: "Good guy, so you are the Fang Maofu who claims to be able to 'punch eight Xue Nanjie and kick ten Feng Xingkan'?"

As soon as this word comes out!
The hall suddenly fell silent!
Everyone turned their heads and looked over.

Fang Zhixing was shocked, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued: "Master Feng, I am afraid that I have misunderstood something. Fang has always been honest and has never said such shameless words."

"I don't dare to forgive you!"

Feng Xingkan snorted and said angrily: "I am standing here, you can kick one and show me."

Fang Zhixing lowered his head and said with an apologetic smile: "Even if Fang eats the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's guts, he would not dare to offend Young Master Feng."

Feng Xingkan looked around at the crowd and sneered: "You have all heard that he, Fang Maofu, doesn't even dare to kick me. Does anyone else think that he will be the dark horse of the Qinghe Martial Arts Tournament?"

Everyone watched with interest, each with playful expressions, and their eyes looking at Fang Zhixing were full of contempt and disdain.

"All right."

Wu Hongqiu suddenly interrupted: "I've said it a long time ago. There are a lot of rumors outside, so don't believe them all. Master Fang Zhai must have offended someone, and that's why the rumors were spread."

Everyone laughed dumbly and immediately lost their interest in watching the excitement. They continued drinking and chatting, and no one paid any attention to Fang Zhixing.

After a moment of silence, Fang Zhixing asked cautiously: "May I ask Miss Wu, what is the rumor about?"

Wu Hongqiu raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said briefly.

After listening, Fang Zhixing took a breath of cold air.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the Cheng brothers who were executed by him last night.

"I see!"

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but gnashed his teeth, and his heart boiled with anger.

If he had known that this was the case, he would have skinned and boned the Cheng brothers and executed them in Ling Chi.

"Miss Wu, since this is a misunderstanding, Fang will not disturb you and leave here." Fang Zhixing said respectfully without changing his expression.

Wu Hongqiu raised his eyebrows and said: "You're already here, let's have some drinks before leaving, lest others say that I didn't entertain you well. In addition, the people who came to this cocktail party are either rich or noble, so you don't want to get to know them and hang out with them." Does it look familiar?"

When Fang Zhixing heard the words, he immediately put on a look of gratitude and responded: "It's up to you, host. Fang would like to thank Miss Wu for this great opportunity."

Wu Hongqiu smiled and went to entertain the guests.

Fang Zhixing walked around the hall, but unfortunately no one was willing to talk to him.

After a while, he walked to the window and looked out.

This is unbelievable!

Fang Zhixing was deeply moved in an instant!
I saw a natural fountain outside the window, and the spring water gushes out and flows in a pool.

The water in the pool is very shallow and crystal clear.

There are pieces of beautiful jade at the bottom of the pool. Each piece of jade has a turtle pattern on the surface, which is beautiful and picturesque.

"Toroise stone!!"

Fang Zhixing's breath was stagnant. The treasures of other people's stores were just decorations in the pool for the small and powerful Wu family.

This is such a waste of natural resources! !
"Fang Maofu? Which one is Fang Maofu?"

Suddenly, another person in the hall shouted at the top of his lungs.

Fang Zhixing quickly turned his head and saw a strong and energetic young man coming to the door...
