After Tang San stopped, Silong rather distrustfully tried it with his diamond chisel.
The results speak for themselves - Bayi Chinese website
Silong's diamond chisel could easily change the shape of the gray ore. However, when he lifted the diamond chisel in his hand, it returned to its original appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at the gray ore in front of him, Tang San's eyes were filled with excitement: "If I'm not wrong, this is the mother of deep sea silver."
“The mother of silver in the deep sea?
Doesn’t it mean that we are expected to complete the forging of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle!”
In his previous life, the Tang Sect where Tang San stayed was divided into the Inner Sect and the Outer Sect.
The inner disciples major in internal skills and mental methods, focusing on manual concealed weapons; the outer disciples specialize in mechanical concealed weapons, so they will learn some poisons.
The number one among the mechanical hidden weapons is called Buddha's Furious Tang Lotus, which is the pinnacle of Tang San's previous life.
Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle ranks second in this ranking.
Although it was only ranked second, Tang San in his previous life failed to build it.
How could Tang San not be surprised when he saw the "Hanxin Iron Spirit" and the "Silver Mother of Deep Sea Silver" on the same day?
The former is one of the three core materials for making "Buddha's Angry Tang Lotus", which is why Tang San can recognize it at a glance.
The latter is the core material used to make the "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle". It is normal that he is not familiar with it.
“It’s hard to say.
If Hanxin Iron Essence is the hardest metal ore I have ever seen, then the silver mother of Deep Sea Silver is the most flexible one.
Yes, this is indeed the material on the design drawings of the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle, but someone also needs to have the ability to forge it."
…
At three o'clock in the morning, the headquarters of the Blacksmiths Association.
Previously, the reason why Silong went to Tang San and the others was not only to send rare metals, but also to tell everyone a piece of news - at the time of Xu Zheng, an auction would be held on the fourth floor of the Blacksmiths Association headquarters.
There is still a quarter of an hour before the auction starts.
Tang San and others followed President Silong to the third floor of the Blacksmiths Association headquarters.
Auctions like this usually have this rule - everyone participating in the auction needs to cover their figure and appearance with black robes.
Of course, people who are familiar with each other can also identify each other through their voices.
In this way, this black robe can be regarded as a layer of protection provided by the auction to the auctioneers, a layer of protection of privacy.
Moments before the auction started, they crossed the threshold of the exhibition hall again.
What you see is a black world.
Ma Hongjun muttered in a low voice: "It's so dark here, can everyone really see the auction items clearly?"
Yes, soul masters have very strong night vision abilities. However, not all those participating in the auction are soul masters.
"Auction items are usually placed on the display stand, where the estimator who presides over the auction stands.
There are no open fires in the auditorium, and it is completely covered by night. The purpose is the same as the black robes you wear, to protect the privacy of the auctioneers."
Suddenly, Lou Gao's voice came from behind them.
The auction was organized by the Blacksmiths Association. Ning Xinli was not surprised at all when Lou Gao appeared here.
As the former president of the Blacksmiths Association, the seats at the top of the building were naturally arranged at the front.
Following his lead, everyone followed him to the front of the auditorium.
As soon as he sat down, Lou Gao couldn't wait to ask Tang San: "Boy, you don't only have a piece of paper in your hand, do you?"
So obviously excited, Ning Xinli shook her head.
"Of course not, it's just that I placed the complete blueprint in Tangmen.
When seniors return to Tangmen with us, we will naturally be able to see the complete blueprint of the ‘Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle’.”
Ning Xinli could see such an obvious agitation, so how could Tang San not notice it?
He has always seen through Lou Gao's little thoughts without telling them.
Thinking about it, how could Tang San place the blueprint of "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle" in Tangmen instead of carrying it with him?
It's just that Lou Gao hasn't really joined the Tang Sect yet.
Therefore, Tang San could not safely hand over the complete blueprint of "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle" to the other party's hands.
"It seems that I have to go on this trip with you.
Even though the blueprint you gave me is incomplete, I can feel that this hidden weapon is very different from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
The Zhuge Divine Crossbow can be produced in batches, but it can only strive for excellence.
Even if I only make one or two, they will be shocking and enough to change the world's view of us blacksmiths."
The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle is of course very different from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
The former was not successfully made by Tang San in his previous life. Like the "Buddha's Angry Tang Lotus", it is also a long-lost hidden weapon of the Tang Sect.
The latter is almost an ordinary hidden weapon that every outer disciple has in hand.
"Not only that, but from my perspective, extremely hard and tough metal is needed to make this hidden weapon.
At the very least, two kilograms of Hanxin Iron Essence are needed. No, even Hanxin Iron Essence may not meet the conditions for making it."
Two kilograms of Hanxin Iron Essence, without considering other conditions, is already six hundred gold soul coins.
The cost of an ordinary Zhuge Divine Crossbow is only sixty gold soul coins.
Ten times, or even more!
"The auction is about to begin."
It has to be said that these two people are both concealed weapon maniacs.
No, as they were chatting, they had forgotten where they were. The more they chatted, the happier they became.
Fortunately, after Ning Xinli intervened, Tang San did not continue the conversation with Lou Gao.
Originally, the display stand in front of Ning Xinli was in darkness, just like the auditorium. At this moment, a white light lit up. Under the white light, a middle-aged man in his fifties stood.
.
"Dear guests, I am Sidi, good evening everyone.
Despite your busy schedule, it is an honor for our Blacksmiths Association that everyone can come and participate in the auction we hold.
Everyone, please settle in your seats, the auction is about to officially begin.
In order to protect everyone's privacy, everyone participating in the auction will wear black robes. You are in the night, and there is a caller next to you. After pressing the caller that represents the seat number,
Tell me the price in your mind."
Sidi, the youngest direct disciple of Lou Gao. Like his senior brothers Siyu and Sikai, he is also a master forger.
A master blacksmith actually spared no effort to host the auction in person.
This shows how valuable this auction is.
"Without further ado, please take a look - this is the first auction item today: a piece of black-grained iron with a purity of 90% and a weight of about 231 kilograms. Its base price is two
Ten thousand gold soul coins, the minimum price increase for each increase is one hundred gold soul coins."
Once the deal is settled, the auction begins.
After no one bids, the auctioneer will hit the hammer three times in a row.
After three strikes, the dust settled.
This is Xuan Tie?
Black-grained iron, also known as black iron in Tang San's previous life, is a hard alloy with extremely high hardness and excellent wear resistance. Not only does it have an extremely high melting point, it is not easily corroded, making it an excellent piece of metal.
forging materials.
"The starting price is 20,000, you guys are really shady."
After hearing the auctioneer's statement, Ning Xinli couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Black-grained iron is, after all, just black gold with higher purity.
One kilogram of black gold is worth about four gold soul coins. If it is 231 kilograms, it is only more than 900 gold soul coins.
"Miss Ning was joking, businessman, small business, small business.
Black-grained iron is an alloy of fine gold and black gold. Generally speaking, ten kilograms of black-grained iron requires at least three kilograms of fine gold and ten kilograms of black gold, which is 760 gold soul coins. This piece
Two hundred and thirty-one kilograms of black-grained iron requires more than sixty-nine kilograms of fine gold and two hundred and thirty-one kilograms of black gold, which is less than eighteen thousand gold soul coins.
When we sell things, after paying taxes to the higher authorities, of course we have to make a profit."
Don't look at Lou Gao, the president of the "Blacksmiths Association", who jumped ship after just a few words. What the president handed over was even more ridiculous and funny.
However, in the final analysis, the Blacksmiths Association is not a leisurely organization with no one under its control.
Gengxin City is a main city of the Star Luo Empire.
Both the City Lord's Palace of Gengxin City and the Blacksmiths Association are under the jurisdiction of the Star Luo Empire, and they are affiliated with the Star Luo royal family.
Precisely because of the Blacksmith Association, the weapons and armor equipped by the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire are far more sophisticated than those of the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire.
How could there be a more appropriate source for the standard equipment of the army than a blacksmith?
Iron, a material controlled by the Empire.
How could the blacksmiths dare to use it in large quantities without the permission of the empire?
"President Lou Gao, I just made a joke with you, don't mind it." After saying that, Ning Xinli pressed the buzzer on the side: "Thirty thousand gold soul coins."
What?!
Still, no one could have imagined that someone would directly quote a price that was a full 10,000 gold soul coins higher than the auction price.
Tang San and others were invited by Silong to participate in this auction.
The seat numbers for the auction had already been decided when they sent out the invitation letter.
The bidder is also bound to the seat number.
(The arrangement of seat numbers is not based on seat order.
In other words, the guest holding the seat card No. 1, even if he is sitting in the last row of the auditorium, is still No. 1.
In the same way, a guest with a seat card numbered 50, even if he is sitting in the first row, will still be numbered 50 when bidding.)
Therefore, Sidi recognized them immediately.
In the past two days, Sidi had not been in contact with Tang San and others, but he had heard it mentioned by three senior brothers.
——They are friends of Lou Gao.
Since he was the teacher's friend, Sidi naturally no longer acted as usual (delaying time as much as possible, waiting for the auctioneer with a higher price to appear), but quickly made a bid: "VIP No. 8, bid 30,000 yuan."
