159. Stepping on the cloud and riding the wind, the general visits
The five-hundred-tael Eight-sided Han Sword was actually not the most expensive standard weapon Zhou Shu ever sold.
When he sold the Daxia Longque Knife to Cheng Wanli, he received one thousand taels.
However, that is an example and does not represent the general situation.
Generally speaking, there are not many standard sword weapons that cost more than a hundred taels of silver.
Five hundred taels is already considered a sky-high price.
"Brother, you don't have to do this just to take care of me——"
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment and then began to speak.
He doesn't care about money, what he cares about is the path to the Weaponry Division.
If you lose the circulation channel of your own forged weapons for a little money, the loss will be huge.
Of course Zhou Shu would not do this kind of thing, choosing sesame seeds and losing watermelon.
He wants to make money, and he can earn thousands of taels and gold with just a high-grade weapon!
With the map of divine weapons, Zhou Shu didn’t have to worry about weapons he couldn’t forge!
"Do you think I'm showing favoritism?"
Mi Ziwen shook his head with a smile and said, "You are wrong."
"Although you are my second brother, I will not joke about the imperial court's military expenses. The Eight-sided Han Sword is worth the price."
Zhou Shu didn't know much about the situation of the National Protector Army, but since Mi Ziwen had already talked about it to this extent, Zhou Shu would be a fool if he refused again.
Although money is not what he cares about most, he certainly wouldn't mind if he could earn a little more.
The weapon-casting materials sent by Mifu last time have been almost consumed. He has to buy some soldier-casting materials himself later. Counting on the small amount of soldier-casting materials provided by the Weapon-Forging Department, his soldier-casting progress will be greatly delayed.
.
But having said that, Mr. Mi generously funded the construction of Huaxia Pavilion, which owed him a big favor. Those previous favors have not yet been repaid.
"Brother, I take the liberty to ask."
Zhou Shu pondered and said, "What is your current cultivation level?"
In fact, Zhou Shu can see what Mizi Wen's cultivation is, but his apparent cultivation is only at the seventh level of martial arts, so naturally he can't show that he can see through Mizi Wen's cultivation.
"There's nothing that can't be said." Mi Zi smiled warmly. Apart from his brothers, he was also his teacher, so there was no need to keep it secret.
"Brother Wei is currently at the fourth level of martial arts, and is still one step away from the third level. If nothing else happens, he should be able to break through to the third level of martial arts within half a year."
Mi Ziwen looked confident. Although his martial arts talent was not as good as that monster Qingzhou Lu Wenshuang, it was still outstanding.
A martial arts master who is less than thirty years old can be used anywhere.
In history, I can count all the martial arts masters younger than him on both hands.
Generally speaking, third-level masters in their forties or fifties are already considered very young. Most warriors will never reach the threshold of a martial arts master in their lifetime.
"That's it." Zhou Shu said thoughtfully, "Brother, when will you be able to break through to the first level of martial arts?"
Mi Ziwen looked embarrassed and almost choked on the tea.
Did you ask that?
Isn’t this a slap in the face?
But looking at Zhou Shu's serious look, it doesn't seem like he is mocking himself.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I may not be able to achieve the first level of martial arts in my lifetime."
To become a master of the first level of martial arts, talent and opportunity are indispensable. Even if you are a monster like Lu Wenshuang, you dare not say that you will definitely be able to achieve the first level.
What's more, it's Yon Ziwen.
Not to mention the first level of martial arts, he is not sure that he can even reach the second level of martial arts.
Zhou Shu was thoughtful.
Mi Ziwen can break through to the third level of martial arts by himself, so giving him the realm-breaking pill now would be a bit of a waste.
Give it to him after he breaks through to the third level of martial arts, and he will be immediately promoted to the second level of martial arts.
But this is still a bit wasteful.
Mi Ziwen himself is not sure that he can break through to the first level of martial arts, so it stands to reason that it is most appropriate to wait until he breaks through to the second level of martial arts before taking the realm-breaking pill.
But he himself may not be able to break through to the second level of martial arts. Even if he can, he doesn't know how many years of hard training it will take.
This choice is a bit difficult.
Zhou Shu thought about it a lot, but still didn't tell Mizi Wen about Po Jing Dan.
He is now about to break through to the third level of martial arts. Telling him about the Breaking Realm Pill now will only mess up his mood.
It's better to wait until he truly breaks through to the third level of martial arts before telling him, and let him choose when to take the realm-breaking pill.
In this way, the favor should be almost repaid.
Zhou Shu thought to himself secretly.
"Second brother, when we came here, the housekeeper said that you were in seclusion to build troops. Have you prepared any magic weapons for the military parade that starts tomorrow?"
Mi Ziwen changed the subject with a smile, "What, let's open our eyes first?"
"The first high-grade weapon you promoted to Weapon Master, the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, was ranked eleventh in the Huang-grade weapon list. This time, it has to be ranked in the top ten, right?"
"Top ten?" Zhou Shu replied noncommittally, "The weapons for the military parade haven't been finished with stars yet, and I can't see anything now. However, I have just forged a top-grade weapon. My eldest brother and the general will help me taste it."
Appreciation?"
While talking, Zhou Shu got up and returned to the foundry room, taking the newly cast molten gold Sunset Knife to the front hall.
"This is?"
Meng Bai saw the long-handled sword in Zhou Shu's hand and said in surprise, "Molten Gold Sunset Knife?"
"Do you know the general?"
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "It's the molten gold sunset knife."
"It's really a molten gold sunset knife."
There was a look of emotion on Meng Bai's face. He stretched out his hand to take the Molten Gold Sunset Knife, but his arm sank and the Molten Gold Sunset Knife fell down.
A flash of astonishment flashed across Mengbai's face, and then a deep sadness flashed through his eyes.
He sighed.
Zhou Shu stretched out his hand to catch the molten gold sunset knife and glanced at Meng Bai with some sympathy.
General Meng, can you no longer lift the sword?
"Since ancient times, famous generals are like beautiful women, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world."
Zhou Shu couldn't help but whispered.
Meng Bai was startled, the expression on his face was complicated and incomprehensible.
"Since ancient times, famous generals are like beautiful women, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world."
Meng Bai repeated, and then sighed.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Mizi Wen quickly took the Molten Gold Sunset Knife and said, "Do you have anything to say about this Molten Gold Sunset Knife?"
Meng Bai recognizes this knife, but Mi Ziwen does not.
After all, the Molten Gold Sunset Knife has not been seen for many years.
"The Molten Gold Sunset Sword was the sword worn by General Tong Wentong back then."
Meng Bai opened his mouth and said, "Since General Tong died in battle and the Molten Gold Sunset Sword was damaged, although Daxia has its secret casting recipe, no forger has been able to cast this sword for many years."
"I never thought I would see this knife again in my lifetime."
Meng Bai felt inexplicable.
Tong Wen was once a famous general in Great Xia. When Meng Bai was young, Tong Wen was at the height of his popularity. Meng Bai was lucky enough to see Tong Wen holding a molten gold sunset knife.
Later, when he became famous, Tong Wen had already fallen, and the Molten Gold Sunset Sword also disappeared in the long river of history.
Now that I am in my twilight years, I see this molten gold sunset knife again. It is really a reincarnation of the world.
"General Tong Wen?"
Mi Ziwen nodded. Tong Wen knew that he was indeed a famous general, but speaking of it, he was incomparable to Meng Bai.
Even Mizi Wen is actually better than Tong Wen back then.
This is not such a great big shot.
It's right to think about it. If you were really a big shot, your sword wouldn't be just a high-quality weapon.
Even though this molten gold sunset knife is extremely powerful.
"This sword is quite powerful. It was once ranked among the top ten in the Huangpin Weapon Chart."
Meng Bai said.
Zhou Shu was able to cast this molten gold Sunset Sword, which shows that his skill in forging weapons has truly reached his level.
The casting of this Molten Gold Sunset Knife is quite difficult, otherwise its secret casting recipe would not have been shelved for so many years.
"Second brother, does this knife have an owner?"
Mi Ziwen danced the Molten Gold Sunset Knife twice, with a look of admiration on his face, and said with a smile.
He himself is not short of high-quality weapons, but he has many generals, and some of them do not have a high-quality weapon in their hands.
It would be nice if you could buy this Molten Gold Sunset Knife.
"Sorry, brother, this Molten Gold Sunset Knife already has an owner."
Zhou Shu apologized.
He planned to sell this knife to Yin Chengshan.
When he accepted Yin Chengshan's Black Iron Gold Crystal, he couldn't do it without showing any signs of it.
Moreover, this molten gold sunset knife can also play a lot of roles in Yin Chengshan's hands. The demon-slaying army has many opportunities to kill enemies, and the feedback it brings to him will naturally be no less.
Zhou Shu would not let such a good worker off casually.
"If you need high-end weapons, brother, just go directly to the Weapons Forging Division and place an order. As the eldest brother, the Weapon Forging Division's Weapon Forging Division will definitely rush to take the order."
Zhou Shu said with a smile.
The Mi family is as wealthy as the enemy, and Mi Ziwen is generous with his actions. How could he lack high-quality weapons?
"Since we have an owner, let's forget it."
Mi Ziwen shook his head.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Zhou Shu also heard a lot of interesting stories about Nanman from Meng Bai and Mi Ziwen.
The night is getting late, and Meng Bai's face is already showing a look of fatigue. His current body is not as good as that of ordinary old people, and he cannot stay up late.
Mi Ziwen noticed this and felt sad again. He stood up to say goodbye and helped Meng Bai leave the Hou Mansion.
Watching Meng Bai and Mi Ziwen get into a carriage, Zhou Shu touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.
Meng Bai lost all his cultivation because he was injured.
Theoretically, his martial arts realm is still at the second level of martial arts.
The Realm-Breaking Pill can ignore all external conditions and improve the cultivation level of a warrior below the first level of martial arts by one level. So what will be the effect if Meng Bai is given the Realm-Breaking Pill?
If he directly breaks through and becomes a first-level master, will he be able to recover all his cultivation and recover from his injuries?
It seems that this is not impossible.
However, I don’t seem to have such a deep friendship with Meng Bai. The Breaking Realm Pill is not suitable for too many people to know, otherwise, I will never have peace in the future.
"We'll talk about it later." Zhou Shu shook his head, "Meng Bai is Mr. Mi's teacher. If he can recover, he can be regarded as his thigh, right? Looking back, think about whether to let Mr. Mi become a good person."
Zhou Shu still has several realm-breaking pills in his hand, and in the future, he can continue to receive realm-breaking pills as long as Qiushui Yanling Saber kills enemies.
Therefore, the Breaking Realm Pill is not very precious to him.
"Master Hou, Eunuch Zhao is here again."
When Zhou Shu was thinking, the housekeeper came to him and said.
And? Why use the word "you"?
"Santa Claus is here again?"
Zhou Shu said casually.
"Santa Claus?"
The housekeeper didn't understand.
Of course Zhou Shu would not explain it to him, but what benefits did Eunuch Zhao come to give him again?
They feel a little embarrassed when they do this.
Just to get the benefits, do we have to do something to show it?
"Eunuch Zhao is here. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome him from afar."
Zhou Shu walked out of the door and said.
Before he could put away the molten gold sunset knife that Yonzi Wen and the others had just tasted, he simply held it in his hand.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Eunuch Zhao smiled and said, his eyes naturally falling on the weapon in Zhou Shu's hand.
The Molten Gold Sunset Knife is a large knife with a long handle, almost as tall as a person. It is difficult for him not to notice such a big knife.
"Eunuch Zhao, you have worked really hard. You haven't rested so late."
Zhou Shu said, "I wonder if your majesty has any orders when my father-in-law comes this time?"
He was also a little puzzled. He hadn't even left the house recently, and he hadn't made any achievements.
Could it be because I cast the molten gold sunset knife?
They are also well-informed. They have just cast it, and they have even prepared rewards?
But that’s not right. Isn’t it the responsibility of the Weapon Forging Division to forge weapons?
Is there a reward?
Are the benefits of the Weapons Division so good? I’ve never heard of it before.
"It's okay. I still have something to do. Let's go ahead and leave."
Eunuch Zhao suddenly cupped his hands, and without waiting for Zhou Shu's reply, he turned and left.
The speed was so fast that Zhou Shu had no time to speak.
Zhou Shu: "..."
What do you mean?
You, a great eunuch, follow the rules of others who come to enjoy the fun and then return with all the fun?
Did you come here to visit me?
If you have anything to do, you should finish talking before leaving.
Eunuch Zhao quickly disappeared from Zhou Shu's sight like a frightened rabbit.
In the Daxia Palace, Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty was silent for a long time while listening to Eunuch Zhao's report.
I don’t know how long it took before he said quietly.
"Don't worry about him. Are you ready for tomorrow's military parade?"
"We are ready." Eunuch Zhao whispered, "Your Majesty, if Lord Zhou cannot win the three swords of Emperor Yin, what should we do..."
The name Yin Tianzi is too sensitive. If the sword forged by Lord Zhou is good enough, then that’s it. If it’s not good enough, wouldn’t it mean that the emperor Xia’s face will be completely lost?
If Eunuch Zhao wanted to follow Eunuch Zhao's wishes, he should have given Zhou Shu a hint in advance that the names of the three swords of Emperor Yin should not be called randomly. The swords he forged must be worthy of this name.
"As a soldier, do you think that boy has done something wrong?"
Emperor Yuan Feng snorted with some displeasure. Even though he didn't like that boy, he had to admit that he was indeed a once-in-a-million genius in the art of forging weapons!
Emperor Yuan Feng had never doubted his ability to forge weapons. His dissatisfaction with Zhou Shu was purely due to personal grudges...
