Chapter 306 Trading

Chapter 306 Trading
The blacksmith stood up and said, "It is strong enough. I can make it into an indestructible treasure, but... it is so heavy. It will take a lot of energy to fly it, and the speed will not be very fast."

Wang Feiyin smiled slightly, "This is the second material I brought."

He took out a three-foot-long piece of wood.

The blacksmith took a quick look and asked, "Wood? What's so special about this wood?"

Wang Feiyin said, "Try it in the water."

The blacksmith took him into the backyard of the house, where there were several large vats filled with water.

Wang Feiyin placed the wood on the water.

The blacksmith looked at the wood floating in the jar and said, "This is wood. Isn't it natural for it to float?"

Wang Feiyin: "Put a piece of iron there and try it."

There is not much else here at the blacksmith's place, but there are quite a few solid and heavy round iron blocks. They are all round iron blocks cast in molds after the impurities have been hammered out, and they are of very high quality.

The blacksmith went to the shop in front and got a piece of wood, then put it on the surface. The wood sank and then slowly floated up. The waterline was the same as before and did not drop at all.

The blacksmith was stunned for a moment, then immediately went back to the shop and brought back a pile of iron blocks. He put one block on the other end of the wood first, and saw it sink slightly and then slowly float up.

The waterline remains largely unchanged.

He stared closely and began to add iron blocks one by one. By the fifth block, the wood sank and then rose up, and the waterline sank a little bit.

Wang Feiyin saw the light flashing in his eyes, so he asked, "So, do you want to take this job or not?"

"I'll take it!" said the blacksmith, "but three feet of wood is not enough, you need to add two feet."

Wang Feiyin: "But I only have three feet, I took all of them."

"I'm a blacksmith. Look at the cut on this side of the wood. It's obvious that it was cut not long ago. Someone deliberately made it look old."

Wang Feiyin was silent for a moment and then said, "Wood won't work. I can only give this kid five feet."

The blacksmith stared.

Wang Feiyin said seriously, "You know me. I am always generous. If I could give it to you, I would have given it to you a long time ago. You should know that I have three fellow apprentices and five nephews. Giving this child the most is already the most."

"I am not worried about the lack of wealth, but the imbalance of wealth. I cannot be too partial, otherwise it will destroy the harmony of my Sanqing Temple, right?"

The blacksmith scoffed, "You're generous? What cosmic joke are you talking about?"

He raised his chin and said, "If you don't give it to me, I won't agree."

Wang Feiyin sighed and said, "Then I can only go and try Tai Shiming. Alas, Tiezhu, I have always felt that your skills are better than Tai Shiming's, but, alas~"

The blacksmith sneered, "Will Tai Shiming work for you for free?"

Wang Feiyin: "He owes me a favor, he has to pay it back."

"What favor is worth two feet of wood?"

Wang Feiyin: "His life."

The blacksmith stopped talking immediately. Seeing that Wang Feiyin had collected the wood and the box and was really about to leave, he blushed and called him to stop, gritting his teeth and saying, "The meteorite needs to be cut in half and left behind!"

Wang Feiyin agreed immediately.

The blacksmith felt better and continued, "Besides that, I want another 100 taels of gold."

Pan Yun's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth to speak, but Wang Feiyin quickly covered her mouth and nodded with a smile, "Okay."

He took out a gold ingot of about ten taels from his bosom and said with a smile, "This is the deposit. There is another ninety taels. I will send the gold when the magic weapon is made."

The blacksmith looked better. He walked around the box and said, "This meteorite is extremely hard. It's not easy to split. I will refine it as a whole and return half of it to you."

Wang Feiyin agreed.

The blacksmith asked, "Did anyone know that you were here?"

He said, "This meteorite is not weaker than the one Zhang Liuzhen brought out. If people know about it, my blacksmith shop will be in turmoil. You have to stay here until I refine it."

Wang Feiyin said: "Don't worry, no one knows we are here. The things are here, and I will always keep an eye on this place. If anyone comes, I'm here."

The blacksmith then closed the box and accepted the job.

He then responded to Pan Yun, "Besides height and size, do you have any other additional requirements?"

Pan Yun said: "It just needs to be high enough, big enough, and fast enough."

The blacksmith likes such customers because there is a lot of room for him to develop.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go."

Wang Feiyin took Pan Yun and said goodbye and left.

After walking a long way, Pan Yun's heart still hurt a little, "Brother, is it so expensive to be a weapon refiner here?"

"This is a master craftsman. Wang Tiezhu's weapon-making skills are among the best. Only Tai Shiming from a weapon-making family can compare with him."

Wang Feiyin said: "Although Tai Shiming owes me a favor, I don't think he is suitable for you." "Whether this magic weapon is compatible with the person depends on whether the weapon refiner is compatible with the person. I think you are suitable for the magic weapon made by Wang Tiezhu."

"Is his last name Wang too?"

"Yes," Wang Feiyin said with a smile, "We have many talented people with the surname Wang."

Wang Feiyin took Pan Yun to the vegetable market to buy a piece of meat, and then went to the grocery store to buy some things. After leaving the city, he found a deserted place and took Pan Yun back to Sanqing Mountain.

This time, Pan Yun was better adapted.

At least it didn't look so scary anymore.

Wang Feiyin put her on the ground and said gently to her who was hugging the black cat tightly: "Junior sister, I am your senior brother, I naturally feel sorry for you, but outside, they are not me, nor are they your relatives, they will not care for you as much as we do. I can see that although you are afraid of heights, it is not serious, you can overcome it."

"It's just that there has been no need, and there have always been people who care about you, so you have never changed."

Wang Feiyin paused, then sighed after a moment: "Although you will have a new flying magic weapon, and you don't have to endure the fear of stepping on the flying sword, but as a senior brother, I still hope that you can be fearless, faster and stronger, so that you can better protect yourself when you go out."

Pan Jun was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I understand, Senior Brother."

Wang Feiyin waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back and rest."

Pan Yun did not leave, but asked: "Big Brother, Miaozhen and Miaohe don't have any magic tools yet, and Cong'er, I used up half of such a big meteorite in one go..."

Wang Feiyin explained: "If a person wants to achieve perfection in a field, he must invest a lot of energy and time, so the weapon refiner often does not have time to find materials. Therefore, the rule of the weapon refiner industry is that if you want to ask the weapon refiner to refine a magic weapon, you must provide double the materials, and the other part belongs to the weapon refiner."

"The flying magic weapon you want to refine is large, and the materials consumed are already large. It is reasonable for him to keep another part and cut it in half. The one hundred taels of gold is to make up for the other part of the wood that we can't give."

Wang Feiyin snorted at this point and said, "However, he will definitely have some scraps of wood left, so there's no need to feel particularly sorry for him."

Pan Yun: "...I don't feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for Miaozhen and the others. Didn't Senior Brother keep this meteorite to make a magic weapon for them?"

Wang Feiyin waved his hand and said, "They still have a lot of time. Not to mention the remaining half is enough to make a few swords. Even if it's not enough, I can still find other materials."

"Besides," he looked at Pan Yun and raised his eyebrows, "In the next few years, you will spend all your time studying and gaining experience. Don't you know how to find materials by yourself?"

Pan Jun became thoughtful.

Her eyes lit up and she said, "Big Brother, where did you find the wood in Kunlun? I think we can go to Kunlun as well."

Wang Feiyin opened his mouth and said, "It's great that you have such ambition. There are many good things in Kunlun. If you go there, you don't have to keep looking for wood. Other good things will also do."

Wang Feiyin was very worried about their cultural level. He thought that with their accumulated knowledge, they might not be able to recognize the good things they saw, so he said: "I have a notebook here. You can come and get it later. Memorize all of it before going to Longhu Mountain."

He said, "There are many good things in the Longhushan Academy. If you go there again, you will have to take the Tiancai Dibao class, right? Don't just look at the books, go to the library and look for more notes left by the predecessors. There are not only records of various good things, but also the places where they appeared."

Pan Yun: "Write it down and then go find it."

Wang Feiyin patted her on the shoulder and said, "This little girl is teachable!"

He stuffed the meat and the things he bought into Pan Yun's hands and said, "Don't worry too much, kid. We adults will take care of the ingredients. Give the meat to Wang Cong and tell him that I want to eat three kinds of meat tonight."

Pan Jun picked up the meat in his hand and looked at it, and mourned for the master nephew. It turned out that just this piece of meat had to be cooked in three different ways.

Pan Yun carried the meat back to the backyard.

The backyard was quiet. Only Xiaohong was swinging on the swing in the corridor facing the direction where the incense smoke from the main hall was coming from. There was no one else in the yard.

Pan Jun was curious: "Xiaohong, where are they?"

Xiao Hong said, "Hong Yan is still in seclusion, and everyone else has gone to the mountain temple. I am so bored as a ghost."

"Then why don't you go to the mountain temple?"

Xiaohong said, "Today, there are too many people at the foot of the mountain. I feel uncomfortable going there."

Pan Yun said "Oh", hung the meat in the kitchen, and turned to go down the mountain to find someone. Seeing her vague figure, he asked, "Is the talisman on you almost useless? Can I change it for you?"

Xiaohong refused, "I just want to float these two days, I don't want to manifest and become a physical body."

Pan Yun was surprised: "Why?"

Xiao Hong: "I don't want to cook anymore. I think it's good to be a ghost that people can't see or touch."

Pan Yun felt very regretful. It seemed that the cooking task could only be left to the two brothers Wang Cong and Tao Yanbai.

Pan Yunpiao went down the mountain to look for someone, and before he entered the mountain temple, he shouted, "Master nephew, third nephew, Master Brother wants you to go back and cook."

Wang Cong and Tao Yanbai, who were sewing lucky bags with the villagers in the temple, said without even looking up: "Xiaohong is on the mountain."

Pan Jun: "Xiaohong doesn't want to cook today."

Wang Cong looked up, "Why?"

"Because you make her do it every day. Anyone who does housework all the time will get annoyed," Pan Yun said, "A steady stream of water will last a long time, you know? You exploited her too much before."

Wang Cong regretted it deeply after hearing this. If she had known earlier, she should have helped more in the kitchen these two days so that everyone could share the burden. She wouldn't have given up so badly now.

 good night
