Shangyuque

Chapter 54: My dear brother, why are you pretending?

"The King's Family of Anbei"

The masked female cultivator standing behind Yu An repeated softly.

Her voice is very special, if Senior Sister Ning Yao's voice is the voice of a normal female cultivator.

The voice of this masked female cultivator was both charming and alluring.

Yu An shuddered and there was a 'bang' sound from the refining furnace.

Looking at Yu'an's embarrassed face, Yulou took a deep breath.

wooden club!

Yulou stood up and wanted to greet the female Qigong practitioner named Yingxi who was brought by his senior sister.

But after he stood up, he realized that because he had just been burning charcoal, his appearance was far from decent.

His face was blackened by the smoke from the peach wood charcoal, and under the scorching heat of the spiritual fire, the sweat that gushed out formed several winding rivers in the black mud on his face.

Compared to the strange female cultivator in a plain blue robe decorated with silver thread, Yulou looked like a coal-mining black bear that had turned into a spirit.

Ning Yao was introducing business to Wang's company, so Yu Lou didn't have time to think about that.

He wiped his face in embarrassment, laughed dryly, and looked at Senior Sister Ning Yao.

"Senior sister, who is this senior?"

The female cultivator named Yingxi also looked at Ning Yao in confusion.

You said these two are from the Anbei Wang family, then why does one of them look stupid and the other one looks dark, both of them don't seem normal.

"Fellow Daoist Yingxi wants to customize a special sound-path instrument, which needs to be made of spiritual wood as the base material, so I thought of your Wang family, and so I brought her here."

After glaring at Yu'an, who had just followed her elder brother in realizing what was happening, Ning Yao introduced the female cultivator Yingxi.

"This is Yulou. Just talk to him about customizing your magic weapon."

Yu'an: What about me? I'm standing here too!

At this time, Yu'an Sixteen was standing next to Zhong Ningyao and the masked female cultivator Yingxi, but no one took him seriously.

He secretly vowed to himself that he must defeat his inner demons, never be influenced by female cultivators again, and become an unruly and free-spirited wanderer.

"Senior Yingxi, what kind of musical instrument do you want to make? We at Wang Clan have all the harps, zithers, zhengs, and pipa."

Yulou's answer was also cleverly crafted, as it was tailored based on his observations of this female cultivator.

The nun was wearing a white gauze mask, so her face could not be seen clearly, but she was wearing a plain, lake blue robe with silver thread patterns that was both very spiritual and restrained in style.

And the voice is so... unique and memorable.

Therefore, after Yulou's comprehensive judgment, this senior probably doesn't like suona, erhu, big drum, small drum, waist drum, cymbals, gongs, and gongs.
These did not suit the style of this female cultivator, so she avoided these types of musical instruments that sounded less impressive.

At the same time, he also cleverly concealed the flute, xun, bells, etc. These also have one thing in common: they can all be refined by Hongmei.

“You don’t need to call me senior, I am about the same age as you, just call me fellow Taoist.

What I want to make is a seven-stringed harp, preferably one made of spiritual wood. Can you Wang family make it?"

Yulou knew about the seven-stringed zither, which was the origin of all other musical instruments. The seven strings of the seven-stringed zither corresponded to the seven most basic notes.

"Yes! Our Wang family has relevant heritage and experience.

But you may have to wait a while. I need to convey your customization requirements to the weapon refiner in the clan first.

Then, we will continue to communicate the customization details and finally determine the delivery date.

Refining instruments like the lyre is already difficult, and you want to customize it.
Fellow Daoist Yingxi, the final customization fee and delivery date may not be ideal, I wonder if you can understand."

Although no one knows where Ning Yao got this sucker from, Yulou will naturally want to fully develop its potential commercial value.

To put it simply, it means to get gold coins, the more the better.

Customized sound instruments are in short supply, and the secret wood-growing method that Wang's family passed down on spiritual wood instruments cannot be used in vain.

Maybe the Wang family's fire method and stone refining skills are not perfect enough, but this does not mean that there are problems with their other refining inheritance.

The spiritual wooden seven-stringed harp that Daoist Fellow Yingxi wants is exactly what Wang is best at.

What do you mean by best?

It is the most priced!
"Cost. I only need a medium-grade magic weapon. Is eight hundred spirit stones okay?"

She obviously didn't care much about time, but she did care about price.

Yulou quickly grasped the key point.

This female cultivator is not in a hurry to use it, and at the same time, her need for the magic weapon is very clear.

A mid-grade magical instrument will suffice. If you taste this carefully, you will find a kind of calmness that is subtle, implicit, and yet does exist.

Calm, why is she calm?
After a brief thought, Yulou spoke calmly.

"Eight hundred spirit stones, and you want Wang to customize a seven-stringed harp for you?

Fellow Taoist, let’s part ways in peace.

Senior Sister, thank you for this time, but we really have nothing to talk about."

After saying that, Yulou turned around and scooped up some water to wash her face.

Silky, calm, natural, elegant and grand.

However, Yu'an on the side was struggling to keep his face calm.

He really wanted to rush over, grab his brother's hand, kneel down and beg him to stop pretending.

Eight hundred spirit stones, that’s eight hundred spirit stones.

My dear brother, why are you pretending?

That’s eight hundred spirit stones!

Fortunately, the masked female cultivator Yingxi was completely captivated by Yulou’s answer and pretense, and didn’t notice Yu’an’s weird expression.

"Then how many spirit stones do you think are appropriate, Brother Yulou?"

There was even a hint of solemnity in the tone of the masked female cultivator Yingxi.

Done! "Fellow Daoist Yingxi, it's too early to discuss the price now.

Please pay a deposit of 300 spirit stones first, and we will begin by communicating the prohibition requirements and selecting the type of spirit wood.

You are also aware of the characteristics of the Sound Dao instruments. Different restrictions and different types of base materials have a huge impact on the power.

Only after we have determined your specific requirements can we give you a reasonable price.

This price is definitely more than 800 spirit stones. You need to understand that Wang's attainments in wood-growing methods and wooden instruments are still worth a little money."

It was reasonable and in the end no offer was made. The only thing they said was that there were definitely more than 800 pieces.

But after Yulou said this, the masked female cultivator Yingxi felt a sense of anticipation.

She believed that this amount of spirit stones would be worth it.

"Here, this is the deposit of 300 spirit stones. I want it."

Even after the mysterious masked female cultivator Yingxi left, Yu'an still hadn't come to his senses.

The deposit of three hundred spirit stones was given just like that. Who on earth is this female cultivator?

Ning Yao sent the female cultivator away and returned to the refining furnace. She patted Yulou's shoulder heavily and said excitedly.

"I told you that you are a genius in business!"

Senior Sister Ning Yao’s cultivation level was two levels higher than his. She hit Yu Lou so hard that he staggered, but he quickly regained his balance and asked the question in his mind.

Zhong Ningyao raised her finger, pointed in the direction of the monks' mansion, and whispered.

"That person's daughter~"

Yulou was startled at first, then laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, then I didn't charge her more just now. I just asked her for a thousand coins, which is a level that won't lose money."

It’s hard to say whether what Yulou said was good or bad, but Ningyao smiled happily after hearing it.

That bastard Mu Chunze, ah.

Master didn't come back all morning. Senior sister was watching the shop in the front, while Yulou and Yu'an continued to refine weapons in the back.

Their cultivation was not high and their spiritual power was quite limited, so each of them only refined two pieces.

One of the items Yu'an refined exploded, but the two items Yulou refined were both successful, and both were refined into the fourth level of restrictions.

These two magical instruments alone helped him increase his golden light, directly filling up about one twentieth of Ruyi.

Yulou estimated that if he refined this kind of low-grade magical weapon with four levels of restrictions, the Ruyi in his mind would be filled with golden light every time he refined forty pieces.

For a long time, he had not tried what kind of benefits he would get after consuming all the golden light.

So, he thought to himself that he should refine more weapons and make more talismans to accumulate enough golden light as soon as possible.

"Brother, you have actually refined two of them. If you have refined three of the four, we can definitely start our own business!"

Looking at the three-finger-thick, low-grade copper pestle in his hand, Yu'an could hardly hide his excitement.

With a three-quarters success rate, they could actually make it if they set up their own business.

"Pay attention, two and a half pieces have been refined." Yulou said with a smile.

Yu'an stopped smiling instantly.

His character really needs to be polished more.

"Okay, you stay here with Senior Sister Ning Yao. I'm going to go to the Treasure Pavilion and report to Uncle Rongsheng about Mu Yingxi's custom-made magic weapon."

(Don’t ask me whether I have a single female protagonist, multiple female protagonists, or no female protagonist. I will write what needs to be written. There will be many female characters in this book, but there is no clear female protagonist.

This is a male-oriented immortal cultivation novel. The protagonist is a man. He seeks great freedom and the fruit of eternity. He has achieved success and fame. What else does he lack?)

Yu An naturally would not refuse the opportunity to spend more time with Zhong Ningyao.

However, he looked at the purple copper pestle in his hand and seemed reluctant to let it go.

"Brother, how are we going to sell these broken pestles?"

In fact, Yulou had already discussed this matter with Hongmei. Yu'an asked this because he didn't want to face Hongmei, or he was not ready to face Hongmei.

Similarly, Hongmei disappeared inexplicably this morning, and there was no sign of them seeing her at all, which shows that Hongmei didn't adjust her mentality either.

Among the three masters and apprentices who knew what had happened, only Yulou understood what he wanted and could face these storms and setbacks calmly.

"Keep it for now. We still need two more. Let's talk about it after we finish refining it tomorrow."

Initially, Yulou's plan was to sell these monkey-version pestles at Huafengju, but now, he has some new ideas.

Treasure Pavilion, Treasure Pavilion, it has all kinds of treasures, so it’s not surprising that there are magical instruments for sale, right?

However, the quality of this batch of purple copper pestles is a bit worrying. This is a big problem.

"You mean, Mu Chunze's daughter wants to ask our Wang family to customize a seven-stringed harp?"

Wang Rongsheng was a little stunned when he heard the news brought by Yulou.

Is this an opportunity?
But this matter is very much like the respected guardian monk, who once again found a new direction for model innovation in the field of land scraping.

“Yes, I remember that two of our ancestors were once known for their musical skills, and the clan leader’s level of wood-growing skills was also high.

The seven-stringed harp that Mu Yingxi wants must be made of spiritual wood. Our family has no shortage of spiritual wood, and we are also proficient in woodcraft.

Considering all these, I couldn't miss this deal, so I agreed. "

Wang Rongsheng was very satisfied with Yulou's answer.

See the opportunity, seize it, and then take her deposit of 300 spirit stones first.

Yulou is more than just gifted in business operations; he is a business genius!
Wang Rongsheng summoned a carrier pigeon, controlled the magic pen, and wrote a letter on the paper floating in the air, while instructing Yulou.

“I will contact the clan leader right away, but you have to know that offering too high a price can turn a friend into an enemy.

But what you said to her makes sense. I think that in the end, you should let me step in and lower the price back to eight hundred spirit stones.

In this way, you can make a small profit and also get some help from the garrison monks.

The daughter of the guardian monk, doesn't she represent the guardian monk? "
