On an iron raft, six or seven slightly rough swords were carried, which were still the kind of incomplete sword blanks. There was a faint heat on the rough swords.
Why is it said that it is a disabled rough sword? Because irreversible damage has been caused on this rough blank. For example, a gap has been knocked out, or some areas have been pushed too hard, expanded too wide, etc. But overall
It is said that these rough blanks are 20 to 30% wider than normal swords and are ugly in appearance, probably because they have not been cast yet.
"Shopkeeper, what do you do with these rough blanks?" Seeing these rough sword blanks appearing, Ling Dong's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, which should be a bold speculation.
The shopkeeper showed a smile to Lingdong and said: "Sir, these rough materials were incompletely fused when they were first put into the furnace. Naturally, they have to be returned to the furnace for refining and then handed over to the refiner to complete the rest.
process."
"Wouldn't it be another expense to go back to the furnace and re-refine it? The spar that triggers the earth fire is not cheap." Ling Dong said suddenly. Ling Dong was also a weapon refiner in his previous life, so he naturally understands the secrets of this weapon refinement.
For example, the materials for making innate mid- to low-grade swords and ordinary ordinary fire can still be refined as long as the furnace is well built and the furnace temperature is raised to refine the materials for innate mid-to-low-grade swords.
However, starting from the innate high-grade swords to the Earth-grade swords, the materials of ordinary mortal fire may not be smelted even if they are burned for two or three days. They must be smelted with the help of powerful high-temperature earth fire.
The main thing is that the sword blanks on this iron raft are the worst materials for casting innate high-grade swords. Of course, Ling Dong speculates that most or all of these sword blanks are used for casting.
For those who are born with high-grade swords, there are not many materials that can be used to cast low-grade swords.
But this is not the point. What is important is an idea that suddenly occurred to Ling Dong. When his sword skill Shaking Light Powder is used, it will extract the five elements of fine gold energy from the sword to enhance its power.
The Qi of the Five Elements of Fine Gold mainly comes from the metal material of the sword.
Generally speaking, there are two aspects that determine the grade of a sword. One is the metal ore that makes up the sword. The better the metal ore, the sharper the sword will be, and the formations that can be refined on it.
The more powerful it is. The second is the formations that are directly refined on the sword. The more formations that are refined and the more powerful it is, the higher the grade of the sword will be.
For example, an innate low-grade sword will need to refine at least one amplification formation, a mid-grade innate sword will need to refine at least two amplification formations. An innate high-grade sword will need to refine at least three amplification formations and one amplification formation.
Sharp formations. As for the low-grade earth demons, they require even more formations.
The upper limit of the formations that a sword can carry is directly related to the material of the sword. The better the material, the more formations the sword can carry. In other words, the better the material used to cast the sword.
The grade of the sword is higher.
Correspondingly, the higher the grade of the sword, the better the material it is made from. A piece of ordinary iron, even if it is a great master who can refine the Tiangang weapon, it can only be a low-grade weapon at best, and it is absolutely not.
It may become a mid-to-high-grade weapon.
As for the temporarily scrapped sword blanks in front of us, the materials used in them definitely reach the level of casting. To put it simply, their materials are the same as those used in innate high-grade swords, but in the processing process*
**It's just a mistake.
Moreover, Ling Dong also knew that among all the processes involved in refining swords, the gold content of creating sword blanks was not very high. What was really valuable was the step of sword tempering formation.
A sword blank that was originally worth a thousand gold would be worth ten or even a hundred times after being tempered by a refiner with more or less formations. In this way, a sword blank that was originally worth a thousand gold would be worth hundreds of thousands of gold.
, or even a million gold. A skilled refiner who can maintain a high success rate is definitely a gold-making machine.
Ling Dong's focus was here. He couldn't afford to buy a formed sword of low-grade earthsha or high-grade innate swords. Even a high-grade innate sword would probably take away all of Ling Dong's wealth now.
However, there is no problem in buying the damaged sword blanks that need to be refurbished. The most important point is that the five elements of fine gold energy contained in the sword blanks is the same as the innate top grade or earth evil spirit of the finished product.
There is no difference in the five elements of fine gold energy contained in low-grade swords, and there will only be more, not less.
As long as the five elements of fine gold energy contained in the sword is the same, then whether it is a sword or a rough sword, it will not affect the power of Ling Dong's sword skill Shaking Light.
For Ling Dong, there is no difference between using the finished sword that has been tempered with the formation and using the rough sword. No, there is still a difference. The rough sword is much cheaper than the finished sword.
Already.
"There's nothing you can do about it. The materials for making this sword are worth several thousand gold, and there are even ten thousand gold, so they can't be thrown away. If it can be successfully forged again, send it to the weapon refiner in our shop. If you are lucky enough to succeed, everything will be fine.
You can get your money back." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he realized that he had said too much and hurriedly asked: "This young master, do you need to see the innate high-grade sword?"
"I won't look at the innately high-grade swords. However, I don't know if the shopkeeper's damaged rough swords will be sold. If so, I am willing to bid for them, so that you won't have to spend another sum of money on remanufacturing them!"
Ling Dong said.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then said in astonishment: "You want to buy a sword blank? It's useless for you to buy it, right?"
"Oh, it's basically useless, but it's okay to let the slaves in Zhuangzi practice their skills. You can't afford the good ones, and it can also be used to let the blacksmith practice." Ling Dong said.
If you buy these rough swords, it will be of great significance to Ling Dong. To Ling Dong, these failed rough swords are no less than a real innate high-grade sword, which will definitely make Ling Dong
With the third level of innate cultivation, he can confront the strong men in the early stage of Earth Evil for a period of time without being at a disadvantage.
If there is a low-grade Earth Sha sword among them, Ling Dong can even compete with the strong men in the early stage of Earth Sha. In this world, Ling Dong can also win.
"Uh... I see. But I'm sorry, sir, my shop has never sold any rough sword blanks under the main number, including the semi-colonies, to anyone else. Even if it is turned into a ball of scraps in the end.
, you have to stay in the store." After a pause, the shopkeeper seriously rejected Ling Dong's request, and then reincarnated and wanted to leave.
"Shopkeeper, please wait a moment, please listen to what I have to say before leaving!" Ling Dong said hurriedly, such a good opportunity would never be missed. And as an old monster who has lived for three hundred years, Ling Dong has a lot of skills in this.
The movement is very clear.
After all, rules are dead, but people are alive. In many situations, people can be flexible.
While holding the shopkeeper, a thick stack of banknotes appeared in Ling Dong's hand. Inadvertently, Ling Dong stuffed the stack of banknotes, which amounted to about three to four thousand taels, into the shopkeeper's hand.
"Shopkeeper, please do me a favor. I've been all over Huoyun City. I'm the only one who has something useful for you Qian Forging Tool. If you don't sell it to me, I'll have to run to the next city again. Not to mention the danger, it'll cost a lot. Please help me."
The shopkeeper is here for your convenience." Feeling the shopkeeper holding the banknote, Ling Dong felt happy and said, "There's something going on."
Ling Dong's method is not feasible in a small shop. In a small shop, most of the time, the shopkeeper is the boss. In a big shop like Qian Forging Refining Equipment, the shopkeeper also works for the boss. Occasionally, he does something for his own benefit.
It is normal to do things that hurt others.
"This..." The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, but his eyes secretly looked at the denomination of the banknote in his hand. Good guy, the banknote is a hundred taels. Based on his experience, he immediately judged that this stack of banknotes was not worth it.
It will be less than three thousand taels.
Nodding with satisfaction, the shopkeeper put the banknotes into his arms, cleared his throat and said: "Our boss has said that businessmen should not only see the immediate interests, but should take a longer-term view. Since Mr.
With such kindness, it doesn't matter if I sell these scraps to the young master.
However, the young master should also know that even though it is a scrap, it still has to put a certain amount of profit on it and send it to you directly with the principal, so I will not be the shopkeeper for long!"
"That's natural. Naturally, we can't let the shopkeeper take advantage of us. I just ask the shopkeeper to take care of me. In addition, the more crude sword blanks, the better." Ling Dong said.
"The more, the better?" The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, "Usually when these things are damaged, they will be taken back and re-melted every few days. Nowadays, there are not many, plus today's batch
, there are only 10 handles in total. However, among these 10 rough handles, there are nine high-grade Xiantian rough handles and one low-grade Disha rough base.
In terms of price, a top-grade Xiantian rough billet costs at least 40,000 taels of silver per handle, while a low-grade Disha rough billet costs 300,000 taels of silver. What do you think, sir?" Although this price is not too fair, it is a bit high.
But it is understandable. Although Ling Dong can also cast it himself, it is extremely time-consuming to purchase materials or remelt them.
When he heard that there was a crude sword made of a low-grade Earth Sha sword, Ling Dong's heart suddenly jumped. Isn't this exactly what he hoped for? As long as he had a low-grade Earth Sha sword in his hand, he would have full confidence.
Seeing Ling Dong's promise, the shopkeeper who received the favor was naturally very happy. It didn't take long for the transaction to be completed. Ling Dong spent more than 600,000 taels of silver to buy nine innate high-grade swords.
A rough piece and a rough piece of a low-grade sword.
Before leaving, Ling Dong stuffed another five or six thousand taels of silver into the shopkeeper, and declared that he would stay in Huoyun City for a few more days, hoping that the shopkeeper would leave the scraps produced in the past few days to him and collect them.
In exchange for the good money, the shopkeeper naturally agreed happily.
After a while, Ling Dong collected the waste swords and left. Since the appearance of the talisman, warriors using the mustard space to collect items are no longer so eye-catching.
"Shopkeeper, who is this person, spending so much money to buy scraps?" After Ling Dong left, a waiter asked in confusion.
"You're a rich fool, this profit is comparable to the profit we make from selling a high-grade sword! It also saves the cost of re-smelting. You don't have to give money to those masters of weapon refining!" said
As he spoke, a proud smile appeared on the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth.
If Ling Dong heard this, he would probably laugh out loud. He is willing to do such a fool!
