With this incident, Ye Chen's treatment in the caravan has been improved to a higher level. There are two waiters following him outside the car, and he only needs to give orders if he wants anything.
Next, heading to Jinhua City, Ye Chen really saw how dangerous this world is. Maybe there were too many people in this caravan and they were angry and attracted some dirty things almost every night. Even with him taking care of him all the way, he would not wait until he got close to Jinhua.
When the city was less than ten miles away, several people in the caravan still died.
He couldn't completely take care of everyone in the caravan, and sometimes he wouldn't be able to save them if they died too quickly, so he could only take care of most of them.
About seven or eight miles away from Jinhua City, he separated from the caravan. They were on different roads. The caravan manager Li once again presented a hundred taels of silver and a century-old wild ginseng in exchange for more than a dozen talismans.
Centennial wild ginseng is already considered an extremely rare medicinal material. Many movies and novels often mention thousand-year-old ginseng, which is pure nonsense. Ginseng has long since become a spirit after it has lived for a thousand years. Even monks who go deep into the mountains and old forests cannot find it, let alone ordinary people.
This century-old wild ginseng can be eaten directly and refined to increase a certain amount of mana, but the best way is to use it to make elixirs. The ginseng elixir refined with several elixirs of the same level is a life-saving elixir. As long as the death time of mortals does not exceed six
Every moment can save someone's life, even a monk can save a life as long as he doesn't die.
Of course, it is only for low-level cultivators. Those with strong cultivation will not have that kind of miraculous effect, unless it is the ginseng pill made by the thousand-year-old ginseng king as the main medicine.
Jinhua City is the largest city within hundreds of miles with dense crowds. Ye Chen paid a copper coin to enter the city and rented a small courtyard in a remote area in the west of the city through Yaxing. He now has two hundred taels of silver, which is considered a lot in this era.
A huge sum of money is enough to buy a house in Jinhua City, let alone just rent it.
He planned to stay in Jinhua City for a longer time this time. Firstly, he needed to find the divine craftsman to forge weapons. Secondly, he needed to repair a leg of the protector god and refine the higher divinity. Thirdly, he was very curious about Lanruo Temple.
Is grandma the Lanruo Temple in the story A Chinese Ghost Story? If true, is the legendary Nie Xiaoqian still there? Does she look exactly like his goddess?
The courtyard is located in the northwest corner of the city, close to the northwest city wall. Most of the people living here are middle-class families, and the surrounding security is pretty good. There is a street about a hundred meters away along the alley, and life is quite convenient.
I spent more than 100 yuan to hire a few aunts to clean up the house, and purchased some simple furniture, and then moved in that night.
I had a peaceful sleep, and I didn't have to worry about touching all kinds of dirty things on the road. Although I wasn't afraid, it was disgusting.
When he got up early the next morning, after routine training, he took out the Thunder Silver Ore from the spirit gourd, wrapped it in a thick cloth, took the Qibao Tin Staff in his hand, changed into an ordinary white robe and went out, following the instructions of Shopkeeper Li to the west of the city.
Walking somewhere, the blacksmith opened a blacksmith shop in the west of the city.
The blacksmith shop is easy to find. It's called He's Blacksmith Shop. I asked two passers-by on the road. When I turned a corner, I saw a huge signboard erected on the side of the road.
He's Blacksmith Shop is a large house facing the street. The shop is more than ten meters wide and has a huge space inside. The shop is filled with weapons. Many customers are browsing the weapons on the weapon racks. There is also a large yard behind it.
There were crisp knocking sounds.
As soon as he entered the door, an extremely handsome woman with red lips and white teeth came up to him. Well, although she was dressed in men's clothing, he could tell at a glance that she was a girl. She cupped her fists and cupped her hands pretending to be a man and said:
"What does this guest need? I will introduce it to you below."
Ye Chen glanced across the shop. The shelves were filled with weapons. Eighteen kinds of weapons could be seen, including swords, spears, and halberds. The quality was good. He nodded secretly in his heart and said to the woman:
"I will prepare my own materials and would like to ask Master He Chong to customize a weapon!"
The woman's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said with a smile:
"Please wait a moment, sir. I'm going to invite my grandpa to come over."
Ye Chen glanced at her sideways and nodded.
Soon the woman came out and said:
"Grandpa, please go to the backyard."
"Please lead the way!"
The woman walked in front, and he followed behind. As soon as he walked into the backyard gate, a wave of heat hit his face. The spacious backyard was transformed into a huge forging factory, and a dozen shirtless men were busy working on it.
Weapons, jingling, clanking, and knocking sounds were heard.
There was a huge stove at the very end. A shirtless old man with a bald head and no hair or beard saw them coming in and threw a red-hot sword-like embryo into a well nearby.
A puff of white smoke rose.
The old man looked quite old, but he was very strong. He grabbed a piece of cloth, wiped his hands and came over and said in a loud voice:
"You want to order weapons?"
Ye Chen cupped his fists and cupped his hands, saying:
"I heard that Master He Chong's craftsmanship ranks first within hundreds of miles around here. I happened to have a rare piece of ore and would like to ask Master to forge a weapon for me."
"Don't be fooled at first. Where is the ore? Bring it over and take a look."
The old man waved his hand, as if he didn't dare to take it seriously, but judging from his expression, he looked like I would be the best in the world over anyone else.
Ye Chen took off the cloth bag on his back and put it on the table. He made a heavy muffled sound and untied the cloth to reveal the thunder silver mine. Before he introduced He Chong, he rushed forward, lowered his head, stretched out his hand to touch the thunder silver, and said:
"Could this be Thunder Silver?"
"Master has great eyesight!"
He praised, then knocked the seven-treasure tin staff to the ground and said:
"I would like to ask the master to melt this treasure staff and make it into a long-handled sword together with Thunder Silver."
The old man reached out to touch Lei Yin and nodded without hesitation:
"No problem. It's rare for me to encounter rare ore, so I will take care of it myself."
After saying that, he picked up the Seven Treasures Tin Staff and waved it, and said in surprise:
"Who built this?"
Without waiting for Ye Chen to answer, he said angrily:
"What a waste of natural resources. The good black iron has been so crudely crafted into something like this. If I were my apprentice, I would definitely beat him to death."
Well, he couldn't answer this, but the body of the Seven Treasures Tin Staff was actually made of dark iron, which was beyond his expectation. No wonder Kong Xuan has been holding this staff, even when dealing with old corpses and attacking Qingshan Town.
There is not a trace of damage to the divine realm. It turns out that the main body is black iron, no wonder it is so strong.
Dark iron is basically the best weapon material in this world. The so-called thousand-year black iron and ten-thousand-year black iron are actually no different, they are just some people who don't understand are calling them random.
Just like it takes millions and millions of years for organic matter to be buried underground to form oil, so has anyone heard of dividing oil into oil for thousands of years and oil for ten thousand years?
The same principle applies. Once black iron is formed, it will take at least tens to millions of years. There is no difference between thousand-year black iron and ten thousand-year black iron.
