Chapter Fifty-Fifth: Nine Heavens Dark Iron (two in one chapter) (for further reading)(1/2)
Rose Chamber of Commerce.
In a secret room, Lu Ge was leaning on the sofa, chatting with Guo Jing calmly.
"Brother Lu, the Tianyuan Secret Realm is about to be opened. As a disciple of the Hiding Moon Sect, you should be able to enter it. It is really enviable."
"It seems that our Rose Chamber of Commerce will have a gold-level guest minister soon. At that time, we will have to rely on Brother Lu to take care of him."
Guo Jing smiled and complimented.
"It's just the qualification to enter the Tianyuan Secret Realm, it's nothing."
"By then, including the five major forces, there will be quite a few warriors who have entered the Tianyuan Secret Realm. It is not that simple to have a chance."
Lu Ge shook his head and then asked.
"By the way, Brother Guo Jing, is there any news about the Nine Heavens Black Iron that I asked the Chamber of Commerce to inquire about before?"
To refine the Long Yuan Sword into an earth-level weapon, dozens of various high-quality ores are needed.
In these years, Lu Ge relied on the channels of the Rose Chamber of Commerce and searched for all kinds of ores, leaving only two kinds of ores.
They are Qiling Iron and Jiutian Xuan Iron.
And because during a hang-up not long ago, Abyss accidentally dropped a piece of Spirit-Initiating Iron.
Therefore, Lu Ge only needs the last Nine Heavens Black Iron to collect all the materials for refining.
At that time, he can upgrade the grade of his natal weapon to the level of earth-level magic weapon.
Of course, earth-level weapons are extremely powerful.
After the refining is completed, it still needs to be infused with spirit in order to exert its full power.
But even if it can only exert 30% of the power of an earth-level weapon, it is far more powerful than the current top-grade Dragon Yuan Sword, and can make Lu Ge's combat power skyrocket again.
Therefore, Lu Ge asked at this moment.
"Nine Heavens Black Iron, Brother Lu really dares to speak."
"This kind of martial arts mineral material is said to be made from falling fragments from stars in the sky. It is extremely rare. I have only seen it once in my life."
"I don't know what kind of weapons you want to refine, and why the mineral materials you need every time are such remote and rare martial arts ores."
Guo Jing shook his head, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
Just when Lu Ge looked disappointed, he heard Guo Jing continue.
"If you want to obtain this Nine Heavens Black Iron in ordinary times, even if you use the channels of the Rose Chamber of Commerce, it will take a lot of time."
"But right now, it's different."
"Because now, it happens to be the day when Tianyuan Secret Realm is about to open. At this moment, the entire Black Yao Kingdom is in turmoil, and countless eyes are focused here."
"The warriors who can enter the Tianyuan Secret Realm will definitely seize this opportunity, so they will convert all their martial arts resources into strength at any cost in the short term."
"And under this demand, whenever the Tianyuan Secret Realm opens, a grand trading conference is born."
Guo Jing said slowly.
"In the Black Glory King's Capital, a super-high-standard trade fair that will last for half a month will be held soon."
"I believe that there is the information you need about Jiutian Xuantie."
"As long as you have enough spirit stones, you can get not only the Nine Heavens Black Iron, but also the more precious Chongmai Pill."
When Guo Jing said this, a trace of longing and desire flashed across his eyes.
Because of the so-called Chongmai Dan.
After being swallowed by a warrior at the peak of Xuanwu Realm, your cross-border success rate can be increased by about 10%!
Of course, the price of pills that increase the chance of breaking through to the Earth Martial Realm is often sky-high.
Therefore, for Lu Ge, it is more appropriate to advance to the Earth Martial Realm by taking the opportunity in Tianyuan Secret Territory.
"Heiyao King Capital, is there a trade fair..."
After listening to Guo Jing's suggestion, Lu Ge nodded slightly and looked at his own spiritual stone reserve.
Thirty-one thousand spiritual stones!
This is Lu Ge’s current net worth.
After groaning for a while, Lu Ge looked at Guo Jing and said again.
"I don't have much confidence in taking down the Nine Heavens Black Iron. I have to sell some materials so that I can take it down smoothly."
With that said, Lu Ge raised his hand and took out some of the materials dropped by the machine and some martial arts resources gained when accepting the commission.
"Brother Guo Jing, it's still the same as before. Find an appraiser to come over and make an estimate."
Lu Ge said calmly.
Guo Jing was obviously used to this. He moved his lips slightly to transmit the message, and soon, an old man walked in.
"The blood jade spider's silk and limbs..."
"The inner elixir of a fifth-level Xuanwu realm monster..."
"Xuanwu-level secret technique, bloodthirsty seal..."
"Six pieces of deep sea silver marrow..."
The old man appraised it diligently, and the surprise in his eyes became more and more obvious.
Because there are a lot of good things in the materials Lu Ge presented, and they cover many aspects, it can be said to be all-inclusive.
Finally, half a day passed before the old man raised his hand to touch the sweat on his forehead and said with tired eyes.
"Lu Keqing, Manager Guo, these materials have been appraised, and their value should be around 16,800 spirit stones."
"But I don't recommend selling these two seven-hearted flowers here."
"This is an extremely rare spiritual grass. It is more than 800 years old. It is the main material for refining the local elixir Qiqiao Xinpo Dan. It is extremely valuable."
"If Lu Keqing can sell these two Seven Heart Flowers at the Royal Capital Trade Fair, their value will be even higher, at least more than 10,000 spirit stones."
"After all, those earth-level warriors are all wealthy, and they never mind spending large sums of money on elixirs that can enhance their cultivation."
The old man finally suggested.
"Is this so..."
Hearing this, Lu Ge nodded and said calmly, "Just do as you say."
"Looks like I have to keep these two seven-hearted flowers for a while."
The transaction was completed quickly, and as a guest of the Rose Chamber of Commerce, there was no extra charge for the appraisal, so Chen Ge received 16,800 spirit stones.
His total reserve of spiritual stones has now reached nearly 48,000 spiritual stones.
With this huge sum of money, Lu Ge felt a lot more at ease.
Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money. He has always deeply agreed with this sentence.
The materials were successfully sold, and after Lu Ge and Guo Jing reminisced about old times, he was ready to leave.
Before leaving, Guo Jing gave Lu Ge two letters.
"Haha, Brother Lu, naturally only our Rose Chamber of Commerce has such strength in this ultra-high-standard trade fair held in the royal capital."
"With this letter in hand, when you arrive at the royal capital, give it to a steward named Li Feng in the Chamber of Commerce. He is my best friend and will help you take care of everything."
"As for this other letter, it is my private matter. Please give it to the second elder of the Guo family in the royal capital."
Guo Jing said with a smile.
"It's just a small thing."
Lu Ge did not refuse.
He took the two letters and then waved his hand, turning into a blue rainbow and leaving.
"Mr. Guo, you are very considerate of this Mr. Lu."
"Even other guests, I have never seen you so attentive in these years."
On the side, the old man who had identified it earlier spoke.
"When Brother Lu and I first met, he was only at the third level of the Xuanwu Realm. His talent was ordinary and he could only be regarded as an ordinary genius of the Hidden Moon Sect."
"But it has only been a few years, and his cultivation level is now at least above the eighth level of Xuanwu."
"Such an improvement in cultivation is not something that ordinary geniuses can match. My move is just to create a good relationship."
"After all, it will be of great benefit to me to make more friends with adults."
Guo Jing murmured, his eyes extremely clear.
The old man said no more.
…
Leaving the Rose Chamber of Commerce branch, Lu Ge had a clear goal and headed straight to the royal capital.
