After Zuo Xiaolan left, Zuo Xiaomo smiled bitterly and said to Wang Chen: "Brother Wang, don't be offended."
He introduced Zuo Xiaolan to Wang Chen mainly because he wanted to expand his inner circle of connections for his sister.
Zuo Xiaolan's talent is much higher than Zuo Xiaomo's, and she has a good chance of being promoted to the inner sect.
But to advance from the outer sect to the inner sect, unless you are an outstanding talent, it is not easy to cross this threshold.
At critical moments, an extra helping hand may determine success or failure.
A monk like Wang Chen who comes from a remote area, has no background power, and relies entirely on his own strength to enter the inner sect, is the most worthy target in Zuo Xiaomo's opinion.
Because of those senior brothers with status and background, neither he nor Zuo Xiaolan can reach them.
Unless you are willing to pay a huge price!
It's a pity that Zuo Xiaomo's hard work was not understood by his sister.
Zuo Xiaolan obviously had other ideas, and she was very indifferent to Wang Chen's attitude. After staying with him for a while, she found a reason to leave.
Zuo Xiaomo had no choice but to apologize to Wang Chen.
"It doesn't matter."
Wang Chen smiled and said: "Junior Brother Zuo, let's continue chatting."
He didn't care whether Zuo Xiaolan stayed or left. It would be better if he left, which would facilitate the conversation between the two of them.
Zuo Xiaomo is a descendant of the Zuo family in Wanling City. Although he belongs to a side branch, there is a Jindan master in his family.
The most important thing is that Zuo Xiaomo has a good family background and is a local native. Wang Chen can use him to gain a deep understanding of the situation inside and outside the Xihai Sect, so as to avoid making detours in the implementation of his plan.
Zuo Xiaomo, out of a compensatory mentality, told Wang Chen everything he knew about Wang Chen's problems.
The two chatted from morning to afternoon.
In the evening, Zuo Xiaomo entertained Wang Chen again at a nearby restaurant, and the relationship between the two parties suddenly became much closer.
After the party, Wang Chen declined Zuo Xiaomo's invitation to go to Jifang to have fun and visited Wanling City alone.
Wanling City is more lively at night than during the day. Thousands of obsidian lamps are lit in the shops along the street, illuminating the entire street and reflecting the rows of pavilions and pavilions.
Pedestrians on the road were rubbing shoulders with each other, and the stream flowed endlessly. Looking at the monks, they looked like crucian carp crossing the river.
Wang Chen felt like a fish in water, feeling indescribably at ease and at ease.
After all, he still likes to have fun.
After walking around the city for half an hour, Wang Chen walked into a shop.
The name of this shop is very simple, it's called "Sword Shop", and all the items sold in it are swords.
Including flying swords and magic swords.
"Master, what do you need?"
The shopkeeper of the sword shop is a gray-haired old man with perfect qi cultivation and a kind-hearted smile.
Wang Chen took out his Wind and Thunder Sword from his storage bag and asked, "Can my spirit sword be modified?"
The Wind and Thunder Sword was the trophy that Wang Chen captured when he killed Liu Yingxiu, the golden elixir seed of Wufeng Mountain.
This second-level high-grade spiritual sword has the special power of controlling wind and condensing thunder. Along with Wang Chen's migration from Yunyang's hometown to the West Sea Spiritual Domain, it killed many enemies.
It's just that although the quality of the Wind and Thunder Sword is excellent, it doesn't match Wang Chen's compatibility very well.
Wang Chen's Five Elements Master Fire, when wielding this spiritual sword in battle, was not able to be completely handy.
He has always wanted to transform or upgrade the Wind and Thunder Sword, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.
Now that things have finally stabilized, this idea has come up again.
And this "sword shop" was not chosen randomly by Wang Chen. He had specifically asked Zuo Xiaomo before, and the latter recommended to him this shop, which was said to have the background of a gold elixir refiner.
"Good sword."
The shopkeeper of the sword shop took the Wind and Thunder Sword with both hands, with admiration in his eyes.
He was obviously a man who liked swords and knew how to use swords. He immediately held the sword in his left hand and flicked the sword's spine with his right hand.
The wind and thunder sword suddenly emitted a clear vibration, and the sword body faintly glowed with lightning.
After admiring it for a moment, the shopkeeper of the sword shop asked: "This wind and thunder sword was made by a famous master, and its grade has reached an upper level. How do you want to modify it?"
Wang Chen replied without hesitation: "I control fire in the five elements."
The shopkeeper of the sword shop immediately understood: "That's it."
He thought for a while and said: "The shop has recently acquired a thunder and fire essence. As long as it is blended into this wind and thunder sword and refining it, it can increase the nature of thunder and fire, and its grade can be upgraded to the top level."
"But after it is refined, it has no possibility of improvement."
It really works!
Wang Chen ignored the other party's last two sentences and asked directly: "How many spirit stones are needed?"
The shopkeeper of the sword shop stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Fifteen hundred spirits."
He added: "Small stores will not bargain."
One thousand five hundred spirits?
Wang Chen's eyes twitched.
According to conventional price comparisons, one middle spirit is equivalent to one hundred lower spirits, and fifteen hundred middle spirits is equivalent to one hundred and fifty thousand lower spirits.
But in fact, one hundred spirits can never be exchanged for one spirit.
The shopkeeper of the sword shop observed his words and said: "If we add three ounces of ding fire essence, the fire performance of this spiritual sword will be enhanced by 30%, and the power of the fire spell will be at least doubled!"
"Three liang of Dinghuo essence, only a thousand of them."
Wang Chen looked up at the plaque hanging on the shelf and made sure it read "Jianpu".
Rather than "stuck".
But he felt Dandan's sadness.
Put the budget of 3,000 into the card and add money to increase it to 98,000!
He originally planned to spend tens of thousands of spiritual stones to modify the Wind and Thunder Sword to improve his combat effectiveness.
To settle in the inner sect of the Xihai Sect, practice, and redeem exercises and practice resources, you need to use merit points.
Honor points can only be obtained by completing sect tasks.
This means that he often has to face fierce battles, and the stronger the weapons and equipment are, the better.
Unexpectedly, I fell into a deep pit!
"Can!"
Wang Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I won't bargain for two thousand five hundred souls, but you have to give me a messenger flying sword."
Flying swords require the use of special flying swords to convey messages. This kind of flying sword is a professional express delivery tool. It does not have much lethality, but it is fast and has a long distance, and is a hundred times more powerful than Xinhe.
Xihai Zongshan Gate is too big, and it will be too slow and not safe to contact others in the future.
Purchasing a messenger flying sword is a necessity.
The shopkeeper of the sword shop pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
According to the current exchange rate of spirit stones on the market, two thousand five hundred spirit stones are equivalent to three hundred thousand spirit stones.
Wang Chen paid half of the deposit first.
One hundred and fifty thousand spiritual stones.
To be honest, it is impossible not to feel distressed.
You must know that this half of the deposit is worth more than the Wind and Thunder Sword itself.
But as the saying goes, if you can't let go of your children, you can't trap a wolf. For long-term considerations, Wang Chen still reluctantly bleeds once.
