Luo Zheng didn't expect that this matter would be solved satisfactorily just because Qinglong helped translate an ancient Phoenix Clan text.
Not only did the old man's attitude make a 180-degree turn, he actually agreed to sell the materials to himself at a 30% discount.
Since the old man was so sincere, Luo Zheng read out the second half of the text on the jade stone. The old man listened very carefully and obviously wanted to write down every word in it.
After Luo Zheng finished reading, the old man's eyes shone brightly and asked: "Young hero, where did you learn the writing of this ancient Phoenix clan?"
According to what the old man knew, there were once members of the ancient Phoenix Clan in the vast world they were in, but they had perished long ago. Now there are no descendants of the ancient Feng Clan at all. As for the writing of their Feng Clan, there are only
Lost.
Luo Zheng naturally would not tell the truth, but he just laughed and said: "I can't say this, but if you encounter any words or articles you don't know and need to decipher them, you can come to me. I think I should be able to translate them.
.”
Hearing what Luo Zheng said, Qinglong was immediately unhappy, "Luo Zheng, I just translated these words for you. Besides, although I know a lot of languages, I can't cover all the languages..."
At the same time, the old man's expression suddenly changed.
If Luo Zheng said this before translating the ancient jade text, the old man would probably take off his shoes and slap Luo Zheng in the face with the big sole. There are so many strange and weird texts in this world? Some races left behind
After writing, all races were destroyed. Who else can understand their writing?
Luo Zheng's bullshit has been blown to the sky!
But Luo Zheng had just easily translated the ancient Phoenix Clan's text, but the old man did not dare to refute Luo Zheng face to face. He estimated that Luo Zheng might really be proficient in some special characters and languages, and maybe he would be able to ask for Luo Zheng's head in the future.
When he went up, he didn't take Luo Zheng's words seriously, but on the surface he still said respectfully: "Okay, okay, you are a disciple of Yundian, right? Judging from your age, you should be a disciple of Elite Hall, I don't know
Because of your name, I'm afraid I may still have trouble for you, young hero, in the future."
Luo Zheng smiled slightly, told the old man his name, and then said: "Okay, take out those materials."
The old man nodded, then shouted into the store, and two store clerks came out from behind. The old man took the list of materials from Luo Zheng's hand and threw it to the two store clerks, "Go, give me all these materials."
Ready," he then turned to Luo Zheng and asked: "Since Luo Shaoxia wants to learn to draw runes, he naturally needs a rune pen. I happen to have a few rune pens here, although they are not particularly good.
It’s something special, but it’s still a fine product, and it’s perfect for practicing drawing runes.”
After saying that, the old man opened a drawer and brought up a pen holder in the drawer. On this shelf, there were several rune pens fixed straight on it.
The styles of these rune pens are different, and the materials are also different. Some have pen bodies made of jade, and some have pen holders made of animal bones. "If you are a beginner, I recommend this one," the old man introduced: "This one
The rune pen is made of broken jade spliced together. When drawing runes, the soul power can penetrate into the pen tip from the gaps in the broken jade, so it will be easier to use."
After hearing the old man's introduction, Luo Zheng was slightly moved. After all, he was a beginner. If he used a lighter rune pen, it would be relatively easy to draw runes.
Just when Luo Zheng was about to make a decision, he heard Qinglong in his mind say: "Don't choose this shot, choose the one next to it."
Luo Zheng's eyes moved and fell next to the rune pen. It was a rune pen made of metal. Luo Zheng asked: "How about this rune pen?"
"Luo Shaoxia, you are really good at picking. I don't recommend you to use this rune pen. This rune pen is made of red black gold. It is more than three times heavier than ordinary rune pens. It is very difficult to pick up, and the soul power is not good.
It is also very difficult to penetrate this hematite gold. I do not recommend you to buy this," the old man said with a smile, "Only experienced rune masters will choose this kind of rune pen."
Luo Zheng also hesitated, but Qinglong immediately said: "Let you draw runes, and another function is to exercise your soul. What's the use of choosing a rune pen made of broken jade? Listen to me, just buy this one!
"
After all, Qinglong is his teacher in runes, and Luo Zheng can only choose this metal rune pen.
Although the old man did not agree with Luo Zheng's use of metal rune pens in his heart, he would not offend Luo Zheng. He just sighed in his heart that he was overestimating his abilities, and then took out the rune pen and handed it to Luo Zheng.
.
Taking the rune pen from the old man's hand, Luo Zheng suddenly felt heavy in his hand. Although this weight is nothing to Luo Zheng, the impact of drawing runes is still great. After all, every rune is very precise.
If the rune pen is not held firmly, a rune may be destroyed with just one stroke.
After a while, the two shop assistants also sorted out the materials.
Since they are the most basic divine patterns for drawing, although these materials are rare, they are not particularly difficult to find. After Luo Zheng counted the materials, he immediately asked: "How much do these materials cost in total?"
The old man made a casual calculation and said to Luo Zheng: "There are a total of 800 middle-grade true essence stones. If I give you a 30% discount, it will be 560 middle-grade true essence stones."
"Five hundred and sixty middle-grade true essence stones..." Although the price was still within Luo Zheng's affordability, he couldn't help but sigh that it was really expensive.
Luo Zheng already has a general understanding of the currency in the Central Territory. Their most basic currency is the low-grade true essence stone. The exchange with the cubic crystal stone is basically one-to-one, but the exchange of the low-grade true essence stone with the middle-grade true essence stone
The price is one hundred to one.
In other words, the value of 560 middle-grade true essence stones is approximately equal to 56,000 square crystal stones.
"Can I pay with cubic crystals?" Luo Zheng asked. Before leaving the Eastern Territory, Luo Zheng gave part of the Tianyan Essence to Zhang Wuxian, and at the same time took out a lot of cubic crystals for backup.
"Fractional crystal?" The old man was slightly startled. He guessed that Luo Zheng might be a disciple of some big family, or even a descendant of an elder from Yundian Palace. However, hearing the cubic crystal stone overturned his previous guess.
, because cubic crystals are the currency in the Eastern Territory, which means that Luo Zheng should have been born in that small place in the Eastern Territory.
It’s not that the currency of that small place cannot be circulated, but the price is often discounted when converted into True Essence Stones, so the old man said: “Circles are also available, but one Cube’s Stone can only be exchanged for half of a low-grade True Essence Stone.
…”
Hearing the old man's words, Luo Zheng suddenly became depressed, which meant that he had to spend 110,000 square crystals to buy this batch of materials. This was too dark.
The old man chuckled and said: "There is no way, you can go and find out, the currency of the Eastern Region is indeed worthless in our Central Region!"
Fortunately, Luo Zheng had a lot of spare cubic crystal stones. In the end, he didn't care about the old man. He thought that next time the old man begged him again, he would kill him!
After delivering one hundred thousand cubic crystal stones to the old man, Luo Zheng left Fang City with the purchased materials.
The old man looked at Luo Zheng with a complicated expression, sighing in his heart that he was really a strange young man, but he was really going to waste this batch of materials. One hundred thousand low-grade true essence stones is not a small amount, and now
Young people are so unpredictable...
After returning to his residence, Luo Zheng began to prepare to draw the divine pattern.
These materials cannot be used after being brought back. Drawing spiritual patterns is originally a technical job. Although Luo Zheng knows nothing about it, after all, he has Qinglong as his master. According to Qinglong's instructions, Luo Zheng continues to process those materials.
For example, "potent kudzu root" needs to be ground into fine powder.
Another example is that the rhizome of "Hanyin grass" needs to be cut off, then crushed and mixed with another kind of "cloud ash".
The deployment time alone took half an hour, and the program could not make mistakes. Once an error occurred, the only option was to throw it away and redeploy it again.
After half an hour, the ingredients were finally mixed.
Luo Zheng reached out and held the rune pen in his hand, and then took a deep breath. Although Qinglong was guiding him, Luo Zheng was still a little nervous when he drew the "divine pattern" for the first time.
He raised the rune pen, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and a light yellow soul appeared from between his eyebrows. However, unlike using the "Jingshen thorn", the Jingshen thorn turned the soul into a thorn to attack the opponent.
, so the speed is extremely fast and ruthless. This time, the power of the soul is introduced into the pen tip to draw the divine pattern! Naturally, the slower, the better!
When Luo Zheng's soul was poured into the rune pen, the pen tip made the first line on the paper.
