Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Chapter 111 Still Needs to Practice (Please Subscribe)

Having finally taken a day off, Xu Zhiyi didn't want to waste it.

I happen to be short of a lot of materials for refining weapons and setting up formations, so I need to take advantage of the free time today to gather them as much as possible.

Thinking this, my phone vibrated first.

Xu Zhiyi glanced at it and found that it was a pickup code for the express delivery locker.

The materials he ordered online have arrived.

So he quickly went downstairs and carried back more than a dozen parcel boxes and bags from the parcel locker.

The first things to be opened were three small boxes.

It contained loose diamonds that he had bought from a second-hand platform.

The first piece, when disassembled, is a 1.01-carat round brilliant-cut diamond, accompanied by a GIA certificate.

However, Xu Zhiyi doesn't care about certificates or not.

He simply took the diamond in his hand.

You have obtained 1 Ethereal Stone.

Become!

He was overjoyed and quickly opened the second and third ones.

You have obtained 1 Ethereal Stone.

You have obtained 1 Ethereal Stone.

All three are genuine!

This thing definitely needs to be bought on a second-hand platform.

Xu Zhiyi put the three diamonds into her storage bag with satisfaction, and then opened the remaining package.

These packages contained silk, fabric, and leather.

Silkworm silk is easy to deal with.

He had previously bought 6A grade double-core long silk, and this time he bought the same type.

You have obtained 5 pieces of superior-grade silk.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this.

But the remaining fabric and leather were a problem.

He ordered many kinds of fabrics and leathers online, with prices ranging from tens to thousands per square meter.

He first picked up the roll of fabric labeled "Premium Xiangyun Yarn".

This fabric was the most expensive, costing him over three thousand. It was said to be woven using ancient methods by an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, and it had a warm, smooth feel with a subtle matte finish.

He reached out and touched it.

You have obtained 1 piece of common cloth.

'

'

Xu Zhiyi remained silent for two seconds.

They were hit hard on the head.

Did I buy a counterfeit product?

He then picked up the roll of pure cotton fabric, which was touted as "high-count Egyptian long-staple cotton." It felt delicate and dense, and was indeed much better than ordinary cotton fabric.

You have obtained Sturdy Fabric 1

The remaining fabric was even less desirable, consisting entirely of ordinary cloth.

Xu Zhiyi then went to look at the leather.

The most expensive item was a piece of dark brown top-grain vegetable leather, which cost him 1,800.

He reached out and pressed it.

You have obtained Tough Leather 1

The remaining pieces of leather all fared much the same way.

It seems that the standard for "superior quality" is quite high.

Xu Zhiyi repackaged the materials and clicked "return" on her phone.

He spent a lot of money on these fabrics and leathers, and now that he doesn't need them anymore, he can't keep them. He absolutely cannot hesitate to return the items that need to be returned.

After returning the goods, he thought about it.

Since I can't find the right one online, I'll have to go to the market to look for it.

Wuxi has quite a few markets of all kinds.

For example, the International Textile City located on Youyi Road in Wuxi is one of the largest textile distribution centers in East China, offering a wide variety of fabrics, from low-end mass-produced fabrics to top-tier luxury custom-made fabrics.

Not far away, there is also a leather city, which has all kinds of leather.

He glanced at the time; it was 3:30 PM.

in time.

Xu Zhiyi packed her things and took the subway straight to the International Textile City.

The International Textile City was much larger than he had imagined.

Several buildings are connected, with all kinds of shops lined up one after another. Each floor has countless shops, offering everything from fabrics and accessories to custom-made clothing, a dazzling array that makes people's eyes dazzled.

Xu Zhiyi didn't rush to browse, but first found the "high-end fabric area" on the shopping map on the first floor.

He took the escalator to the third floor, where he was greeted by rows of well-decorated brand showrooms with signs for various domestic and international brands hanging at the entrances.

Xu Zhiyi didn't really understand either, but she just randomly walked into a store that looked very high-end. The store was decorated like a luxury goods showroom, with various fabric samples neatly displayed on the shelves.

"Hello, what would you like to see?"

A sales assistant in a business suit came up to me and didn't ignore me because of my young age and inexpensive clothes; her professional ethics were still very high.

-

"I'd like to see some of your better fabrics."

Xu Zhiyi stated her purpose directly.

The sales assistant smiled and led him to a display wall, where dozens of different colors and textures of pure cotton fabrics were hanging.

"These are all high-end series in our store, including Egyptian long-staple cotton, Sea Island cotton, XJ long-staple cotton, and our local Wuxi ultra-high count pure cotton — you can touch them and feel the difference."

This suggestion was exactly what Xu Zhiyi wanted to hear.

He nodded and reached out to touch the piece of fabric closest to him.

It feels really good, silky smooth, breathable, and skin-friendly, much more delicate and soft than the ones he bought online.

You have obtained 1 piece of superior-grade cloth.

found it!

It came to me without any effort at all.

He was delighted and touched the other pieces of fabric.

Two of them are top-grade, while the other two are ordinary.

He inquired about the prices of those high-quality fabrics, and the cheapest one cost three thousand yuan per meter.

Wow, that's ridiculously expensive.

Fortunately, he still had some money in his pocket, so he waved his hand and said, "This one is the one, give me five meters first."

One meter of fabric is one piece in the game.

The sales assistant glanced at Xu Zhiyi with some surprise.

She initially thought the young man was just browsing around. Her shop usually dealt in high-end custom-made goods, and ordinary people would leave quickly even if they came in occasionally.

After all, fabric costing several thousand yuan per meter is simply unaffordable for ordinary people.

"This fabric is ultra-high-count pure cotton from Wuxi No. 1 Cotton Mill. Only a few factories in the world can produce it. The cheapest price is three thousand yuan per meter. Are you looking to order custom-made clothing, or—"

The sales assistant confirmed again.

"I just want the fabric." Xu Zhiyi knew what she was worried about and said with a smile, "Cut it for me now, and I won't shortchange you."

That's not what I meant—

The sales assistant was slightly embarrassed when her little scheme was exposed.

However, Xu Zhiyi's words also gave her confidence.

She didn't ask any more questions.

The fabric was quickly cut and neatly packed.

Xu Zhiyi scanned the QR code to pay.

I spent 15,000 yuan and got 5 sets of high-quality fabric.

Next, we need to buy high-quality leather.

There is also a dedicated leather section in the textile city, just as there is a fabric section in the leather city. These markets are inherently eclectic, but each has its own specialty.

The leather section was a bit quieter than the fabric section.

Xu Zhiyi still specifically sought out those high-end stores.

He visited several stores and finally bought five imported calfskin hides, each costing around four thousand yuan, which added up to another twenty thousand yuan.

However, he also had more materials in his storage bag.

Now, we only need two more materials to craft the [Mystic Spirit Heart-Protecting Armor].

One more black iron ingot is needed.

In addition, there is still no clue about the spine of the Red-Eyed Boar Demon.

First of all, pork bones can be ruled out.

He went to the vegetable market and checked it out.

A whole pig was hanging at the butcher's stall. He went up and touched it; it was just ordinary pork.

I just don't know if it has anything to do with wild boars?

As for the Xuan Tie ingot, he had already contacted Zhang Zhongtian and asked him to keep a piece of iron meteorite for him. He could take it after he got the spine of the Crimson-Eyed Boar Demon.

Now that he still has time, he wants to go to Nanchansi Pedestrian Street again.

The pedestrian street at Nanchansi Temple remains as bustling as ever.

Even on weekdays, this place is always bustling with people.

Xu Zhiyi walked smoothly through the main street and turned into the side alley where antiques and collectibles were sold.

There are far fewer people here; they are mostly elderly men or middle-aged people dressed in Tang suits, going in and out of those antique shops.

Xu Zhiyi slowed down and visited each store one by one.

The three items—top-grade jade, obsidian, and bronze Bagua plate—were quickly acquired, costing less than 15,000 yuan in total. One of the top-grade jade pieces alone cost 14,990 yuan.

The only material left to set up the spirit-gathering array is high-grade peach wood.

He had come to Nanchansi Temple several times before but couldn't find it, but this time he did a lot of research online before coming.

It is said that at the end of the pedestrian street of Nanchansi Temple, there is an inconspicuous little shop called Qingxuan Pavilion, which specializes in selling all kinds of Buddhist artifacts, including fine peach wood swords.

Xu Zhiyi felt that she might be able to find high-quality peach wood inside.

Following the guide, he quickly found Qingxuan Pavilion.

The shop isn't very big, only about 20 square meters. It's surrounded by mahogany display shelves, neatly arranged with copper bells...

Strange and unusual items such as whisks, Bagua mirrors, and copper coin swords.

The shop owner was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties, dressed in a traditional Chinese suit, who was sitting in a chair watching short dramas.

Hearing someone come in, the shop owner looked up, then continued watching TV, saying slowly, "Feel free to look around. Everything is on the shelves. If you like anything, you can take it down and have a look."

Xu Zhiyi nodded and headed straight for the row of peach wood swords in the corner.

These peach wood swords varied in length and thickness, with the largest being as thick as an adult's arm and the smallest only the size of a palm. Their colors also varied, some being yellowish-white, some deep reddish-purple, and some having a charred black surface, as if they had been burned.

He stroked each sword blade, and the information panel in front of him kept displaying notifications:

You have obtained a wooden sword made of ordinary peach wood 1.

You have obtained a wooden sword made of ordinary peach wood 1.

I tried seven or eight in a row, and they were all made of ordinary peach wood.

Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and asked, "Boss, is there anything better?"

The shop owner stood up, somewhat surprised, and said, "Young man, what kind do you want? I have some good stuff too, but it's not cheap."

"Let's take a look first."

"OK."

The shop owner took a brocade box from a cabinet under the shelf, inside which was a dark purple weapon with stripes on its surface—

A peach wood sword with fine cracks.

You have obtained a wooden sword made of superior peach wood.

Xu Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat, but she remained outwardly calm, continuing to examine the sword from all angles before casually asking, "Boss, how much is this?"

The shop owner squinted and chuckled, "Young man, you certainly know your stuff! This is a genuine sword made from a hundred-year-old piece of lightning-struck wood. Look at the grain, the color—one price, eight thousand!"

"Can you make it cheaper?"

When buying things in a place like this, Xu Zhiyi naturally wants to bargain. "I'll take it for two thousand yuan."

"Are you kidding me!" The shop owner's face darkened, his attitude resolute. "This is genuine century-old lightning-struck wood; the wholesale price alone was over six thousand!"

"Then I'll raise it a bit more, two thousand five, that's all."

"No!"

"Never mind then."

Xu Zhiyi shook her head, put the sword back on the shelf, and made as if to leave.

The shop owner paused for a moment, then quickly called out to him, "Wait, young man, don't be in such a hurry to leave! If you really want it, we can discuss the price further—I'll sell it to you at the original price! Six thousand!"

Xu Zhiyi turned around, "Three thousand."

"Three thousand? That's too much! My costs alone are more than that!"

"Never mind then."

Xu Zhiyi turned and left.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"Three thousand two! That's the lowest price! I can't go any lower! If you try to lower the price any further, I really won't sell!"

"Alright."

Xu Zhiyi nodded.

The shop owner immediately perked up, "Come on, scan the code to pay here. I'll wrap it up for you!"

Xu Zhiyi paid the money, and seeing the shop owner's happy expression, she felt that she had probably overpaid.

I really need to practice my bargaining skills!
