After a few more hours, he slowly finished his work, and Chen Shaojun opened the door and walked out.
Neither Jiang Bo nor Hong Lian were there, and the courtyard of the Chen Mansion was quiet except for an old sycamore tree swaying in the wind, shedding many fallen leaves.
"Maybe I went out to buy something."
Chen Shaojun smiled slightly and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, a faint sound of conversation came into his ears:
"Honglian, I can't take this money no matter what. This is your dowry money! What will you do without this, and the young master will never agree if he finds out."
When he said the last sentence, the man obviously lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.
It’s Uncle Jiang’s voice!
Chen Shaojun stopped. If he hadn't developed Qing Qi Double Eyes through practice, he would never have been able to hear such a subtle sound from a distance.
I'm afraid even Uncle Jiang doesn't know that he can hear him clearly from such a far away place.
At this moment, another girl's voice came to my ears:
"Uncle Jiang, when did this happen? Such a big thing happened in the family, is now the time to discuss this? Besides, didn't you also become the pair of ancestral jade pendants?"
Guren's voice was extremely angry.
"Honglian, this is different. Uncle Jiang is already very old, but you are still young. And if the family pools together and pawns some things, they can still make some money."
Jiang Bo's voice was serious and thoughtful.
"What else is there to do in the family? Do you really think that I don't know anything? The young master has never suffered hardships since his birth. Now that the Chen family is undergoing drastic changes, if we no longer have money, should we let the young master eat plain porridge with us?"
"This, alas, Honglian, you are too stubborn..."
With a long sigh, Jiang Bo seemed to have finally accepted it helplessly.
"Buzz!"
Hearing these words, Chen Shaojun was shocked in his heart.
White porridge!
Without his father and eldest brother, the situation at home is indeed no better than before. Chen Shaojun already knew this when Honglian brought three vegetarian dishes yesterday.
But Chen Shaojun didn't know that while he was eating three vegetarian dishes, Jiang Bo and Honglian were drinking white porridge. Moreover, the two of them never mentioned it in front of him.
If he hadn't cultivated the Qing Qi Double Eyes, he might not have known about this until now.
"Is it already so difficult at home now?"
Chen Shaojun stood under the old tree in a daze, feeling sad and moved at the same time.
"...Go in. Remember not to let the young master see it for a while."
Outside the mansion, there was a faint sound of footsteps. After a while, Jiang Bo and Hong Lian walked in from the door together:
"Master."
"Um."
Chen Shaojun nodded, looking at Jiang Bo who looked as usual and Hong Lian with a smile on his face, he let out a long sigh in his heart. If he hadn't just heard their whispers, he might not have known about the situation in the mansion until now.
"Uncle Jiang, Honglian, I'm going out for a walk and I'll be back in a while."
Chen Shaojun said.
Jiang Bo and Hong Lian nodded without stopping.
After coming out of the Chen Mansion, Chen Shaojun walked alone on the street, with thoughts rising and falling in his heart.
"I didn't expect that our family would reach this point. Both Jiang Bo and Hong Lian would need to use their own money to subsidize our Chen family. If I hadn't cultivated the Qing Qi Double Eyes, I might still be keeping it in the dark. Hong Lian and
Uncle Jiang is very affectionate and loyal to our Chen family, no matter what, I can't let them suffer!"
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart.
"It's hard for a good woman to overcome obstacles without rice." What's more, Chen Shaojun is still a scholar who has no fingers in the spring water. In the past, Chen Shaojun might have really been helpless.
But it's different now. After reaching the fourth level of martial arts and opening up the weapon refiner's "weapon vein", there are endless possibilities.
Not only that, in Chen Shaojun's plan, after practicing to this point, if you want to quickly reach the fifth level of Qiyu realm, you will also need to use some external forces.
“It’s time to go to Xiaxu and have a look!”
…
Go to the market!
A place where various junior warriors gather in the Great Shang Capital to sell jade, herbs, elixirs, weapons and treasures.
A large number of training resources are provided here, which can help you practice quickly and get twice the result with half the effort. It is extremely attractive to warriors.
It is said that there are other places in the Great Shang Capital that sell higher-level items, but the threshold is extremely high, and only Xiaxu is open to warriors of all classes.
In Chen Shaojun's plan, after reaching the fourth level of martial arts, he must come here.
Given his current situation, only here can he find many of the things he wants.
"There are all kinds of treasures in the lower ruins. There is still a certain chance that I can buy some treasures at cheap prices, which will be of great benefit to my practice."
Chen Shaojun walked slowly with his hands behind his back. In the streets and alleys of Xiaxu, there was a huge crowd. All three religions and nine streams gathered here, and there were all kinds of treasures in many categories.
Everything gave him a sense of freshness that he had never experienced before.
A place like Xiaxu is a mixed bag. In the past, his father would never have allowed him to come. But now that he has a weapon, for the sake of the Chen family's livelihood and further improvement, Chen Shaojun is confident that he can try it here.
Try it last.
"Immortal King's Treasure Bamboo, one with ten gold ingots, can enhance the warrior's blood and gather spiritual energy. Come and take a look!"
"Great Compassion Gu oil, rubbed on the body ten times a day, can warm and nourish the muscles and veins and strengthen the body. One tael only costs nine ingots of silver!"
"Tiger Claw Secret Scale, taken from the dragon pool monster in the northwest, killed more than a dozen masters, worth three hundred taels of gold..."
…
The sound of hawking can be heard all around.
After walking around in the lower ruins, Chen Shaojun quickly found the target he wanted. He was a middle-aged warrior in his thirties, with a straight waist and an expression of "the whole world is drunk but I am alone"
Look.
In front of him was a pile of incomplete treasures.
Although there was a huge flow of people around, because most of what this man sold were defective products and the prices were still high, his stall was basically deserted and no one cared about it.
However, the man didn't care at all, with a stern look on his face, as if he was sure that one day, sooner or later, there would be a big customer with a discerning eye who would buy all his treasures.
"How much does this Six-Gang Qi Gathering Treasure Belt cost?"
Chen Shaojun smiled slightly, walked over suddenly, picked up a starburst jade belt with golden dragon pattern from the bunk and asked.
Most of the customers who come to Xiaxu are junior warriors, so most of the magical weapons and treasures here are of low grade and are mainly used to gather Qi, speeding up the speed at which warriors can draw clean Qi from the turbid Qi world.
This golden dragon-patterned starburst jade belt is already of a very high grade, and even ordinary nobles may not be able to afford it. However, the surface of the jade belt is dull, grayish-white, and there are many fine particles on the surface.
The cracks indicate that it has been damaged at first glance, and its use value is not great at all.
"Three ingots of gold, don't you see it?"
The middle-aged warrior didn't even raise his head, stretched out his hand and knocked on the sign in front of him, feeling annoyed.
"Ha ha!"
Hearing the middle-aged warrior's words, Chen Shaojun couldn't help but laugh:
"A defective jade belt, the color has turned white, the formation inside is basically bad, and the energy gathering effect is basically non-existent. Just such a jade belt, if you sell it for three ingots of gold, it will be sold as jade.
, it’s not worth the price, right?”
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the goods! Do you know how much a real six-pointed Qi-gathering treasure belt is worth? At least sixteen ingots of gold. This kind of Qi-gathering magic circle can be carried on the body at any time, and it has always been priceless.
I only sell three ingots of gold, so how expensive is it? Moreover, even if it is a defective Qi Gathering Treasure Belt, it is still a treasure belt, how can it be compared with ordinary jade?"
The middle-aged warrior finally raised his head, his face full of disdain.
"Jade can at least be used as a Qi-gathering material, but the gold and stones on this treasure belt have been consumed. The quality is no longer as good as before, and it has no luster. It is just a used waste. If someone can repair it, it will be worth a few dollars.
Money, but now, I’m afraid no one wants a piece of gold, right?”
Chen Shaojun played with the treasure belt in his hand and said casually.
"repair?"
The middle-aged warrior glanced sideways at Chen Shaojun and sneered:
"Boy, do you know who are the people who can repair magic weapons? Those are the weapon repairers! These people are either rich or noble. They are all high and mighty, and their status is much more respected than that of the weapon refiners!"
"There are not many such big shots in the entire Shang Dynasty. You want them to repair the magic weapon for a nobody like me?"
"Yeah?"
Chen Shaojun smiled slightly, and suddenly stretched out the index finger of his right hand, letting out fresh air from the fingertips, making a snapping sound, and tapped heavily on the jade belt with several fingers in succession.
"What are you doing? Put down my belt quickly!"
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged warrior on the other end was shocked and angry, and stood up. His Qi Gathering Belt was quite old, and there were many cracks on the surface, making it unable to withstand knocks.
Now, although the magic circle has been destroyed, this treasure belt is still worth some money. If it is broken by Chen Shaojun, it will really be worthless!
However, just when the middle-aged warrior was about to curse, the next moment, his eyes glanced at Chen Shaojun's fingers, which were as crystal clear as jade, as delicate and lustrous as glass.
He swallowed back the curses that came out of his mouth.
"The instrument...the instrument finger!"
The middle-aged warrior's throat slipped, his face turned pale, and he looked at Chen Shaojun in front of him with fear, and cold sweat broke out instantly.
In the Great Shang Dynasty, weapon refiners were already rare and precious, and weapon repairers were even rarer than weapon refiners. There might not be even one weapon repairer among hundreds of weapon refiners. But even if it was a weapon repairer, I'm afraid
It is difficult for anyone to have such a top-notch "instrument finger" that is as clear as glass.
The lower ruins were just a gathering place for some junior warriors. He never expected that such a distinguished figure would actually appear here, and appear right in front of him!
In an instant, the middle-aged warrior lowered his head, not even daring to take a breath, and his expression changed from anger at the beginning to awe, awe, and deep uneasiness and fear.
"Damn it, I'm so blind that I talked nonsense and offended such a big shot."
Remembering that he had scolded this big shot just now, the middle-aged warrior broke into cold sweat even faster.
