In the early morning, the sunshine was mild, Mu Bei left the Mu Mansion and walked towards the Military Foundry.
The Weaponry Factory is the largest weapons sales place in Puyun City. The weapons sold are the most comprehensive and of the highest quality.
Mu Bei came to the Arms Forging Workshop and walked to a counter: "I want to buy a sword that I can buy. Can you give me a good introduction?"
"Okay guest, please wait a moment!"
The clerk in charge of the counter was very enthusiastic and quickly brought out seven long swords and introduced them to Mu Bei one by one.
Mu Bei picked up seven long swords and tried them one after another, but was not satisfied.
"Is that all?"
These seven swords were actually pretty good, and the workmanship was not bad. They were enough for ordinary warriors to use, but he felt that they were a little lacking in quality.
Either the sword body is too light, or it doesn't feel smooth in the hand.
The waiter smiled bitterly and said: "Guest, these seven swords are considered to be the better swords we have here."
"But what could be better?"
Mu Bei asked.
"Yes, yes, we just got a sword, it's..." the waiter said, "It's a bit expensive, it costs thirty thousand taels of silver."
Mu Bei was a little surprised. The most expensive price of the seven high-quality swords just now was only two thousand silver notes, but the sword the clerk mentioned now actually cost thirty thousand taels.
This got him interested.
"Take it and take a look."
he said.
"Okay, please wait!"
The waiter was very polite, turned around and walked into the inner hall. After about half a quarter of an hour, he came out with a sword box.
The sword box was made of apricot wood, and the waiter looked like he was struggling. When he put it on the counter, the counter shook with a muffled sound.
The clerk carefully opened the sword box and found a dark silver metal round stick lying inside.
The metal round rod has a suzaku mark imprinted on it. It is more than three feet long and about one inch in diameter.
"This sword was made by a famous craftsman in the Imperial City. The scabbard and hilt are forged from dark iron. The joints are perfectly integrated with no gaps visible. When the sword is not out of the sheath, it can be used as a short stick and is indestructible!"
After the clerk introduced the scabbard and hilt, he held the top of the round stick and pulled it out. Suddenly, a cold light flashed, revealing a blade: "The sword body is forged with silver and iron, the blade is cut with animal blood, and the iron is cut like mud!"
"No matter the scabbard, hilt or sword body, they are all made through hundreds of refinements, especially the sword body, which has gone through eight hundred refinements!" The clerk said: "The overall sword body weighs sixty kilograms, because the scabbard and the hilt are engraved with a red bird.
Brand, hence the name Zhuque."
Mu Bei's eyes brightened slightly. In the world of cultivation, weapons from low to high are divided into cast iron mortal weapons, psychic treasures, innate mysterious weapons, original talisman earth treasures and crossing immortal weapons. Among them, cast iron mortal weapons are also called ordinary weapons, which can be roughly divided into
It is a hundred-hammer-ten-refinement level, a thousand-hammer-hundred-refinement level and a thousand-hammer-thousand-refinement level.
This sword has gone through eight hundred refinements and is close to the thousand-refinement level.
He picked up the Vermilion Bird Sword with a thick and steady hand. He held the hilt in his right hand and pulled it out completely. Suddenly, a cold light appeared, the air seemed to be a bit colder, and an extremely sharp aura spread out.
A simple swing, extremely smooth, the blade cuts through the air and makes the slightest sword sound.
"Not bad!" Mu Bei sheathed the sword: "I want this sword."
Previously, he had a total of 60,000 taels in silver notes. After excluding the 30,000 taels spent on arranging the body tempering medicinal bath, he now had exactly 30,000 taels left.
He took out 30,000 yuan in silver notes and handed it to the clerk.
The clerk shivered and his eyes widened when he looked at the 30,000 taels of silver note.
According to the commission of one ten million, he can get thirty taels of silver from this deal, which is enough for his family to live a good life safely for two years!
For a moment, the waiter was very excited: "Okay, okay, okay, I will wrap it up for you. Please wait a moment..."
"Wait a minute, I want this sword!"
A voice suddenly sounded.
Not far away, a strong man with a broad sword on his back came forward. He was about forty-five years old and had a scar on his cheek.
Behind the strong man were six young men, all of whom were scoundrels.
Seeing the strong man with the scar, the waiter showed some fear and said with an apologetic smile: "Master Qi, I'm really sorry. This customer has already ordered this sword and paid the check. I'm sorry! If there is a better sword in the future, I will give it to you."
I will inform you immediately!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, a young man behind Master Qi slapped him in the face: "In the future, you won't be able to understand what Master Qi said? Master Qi wants this sword!"
"But, but..."
The boy covered his face and hesitated, not daring to continue.
The young man glanced at the man, looked at Mubei and said: "Boy, be wise and keep the sword honestly, otherwise, hum!"
Mu Bei glanced at this man and the strong man, and said to the man: "I don't want the sword box anymore, you can do whatever you want with it."
He knew Dao Scar, a small leader of the Red Flame Gang outside Puyun City.
The Scarlet Flame Gang is a small gang composed of mercenaries. Most of its members are people who lick blood with their swords. This scarred man is the seventh strongest member of the Scarlet Flame Gang. He is nicknamed the Seventh Master, which is also considered a bad name in Puyun City.
Hehe, many people are afraid.
However, others are afraid of the Seventh Master, but he is not afraid. He is just at the peak of bone-forging, no big deal.
Seeing that Mu Bei was about to leave, the young man who spoke suddenly stopped in front of Mu Bei and said sternly: "Boy, do you dare to refute the Qi Master's reputation? Find..."
"Snapped!"
Mu Bei slapped the opponent in the face, sending him flying many feet away.
The young man rolled to the ground with a thud, his teeth mixed with blood dripping out, and he screamed in pain.
The boy's expression changed. Mu Bei actually dared to hit the people around Qi Ye!
Master Qi's face turned cold, like a poisonous snake.
At this time, a fat middle-aged man walked out of the inner hall and was alarmed by the movement here: "What's going on! What happened?!"
"Shopkeeper Qian!"
The waiter shouted to the middle-aged man and quickly told what happened.
Shopkeeper Qian then saw Master Qi with a cold expression on his face, and greeted Master Qi with an apologetic smile: "Master Qi, you are here!"
Then, he quickly came to Mu Bei and said, "Young man, since Master Qi wants this sword, we won't sell it. We will return the banknote to you. Please keep the Suzaku Sword."
With that said, he handed the 30,000 silver note to Mu Bei.
Master Qi is a ruthless master. If he cannot successfully capture the Vermilion Bird Sword today, not only Mu Bei will be in trouble, but their forge will also be resented.
Once the Seventh Master is hated by him, he may bring people to cause trouble from time to time in the future, which will cause a lot of trouble in the Forge.
"Everything is first come, first served. I came first. The price for the sword has been paid, and the sword is mine. There is no reason to give it to a latecomer."
Mubei Road.
Shopkeeper Qian lowered his voice and said, "But this is the seventh master!"
"so what?"
"Why are you so stupid? Don't you know the Seventh Master? The young masters and ladies of the four major families dare not provoke them easily, how can you afford to do so? If you offend the Seventh Master, you may die without knowing how!"
Shopkeeper Qian’s airway.
"You don't have to worry about it."
Mu Bei turned around and left.
Shopkeeper Qian stopped Mu Bei angrily: "The sword belongs to my weapons workshop. We have the right to decide who to sell it to. I won't sell it to you now. You..."
"Shopkeeper Qian, that's enough, step aside." At this moment, Master Qi spoke up and looked at Mu Bei coldly: "If you are brave, just take this sword and walk out of the forging workshop and try it!"
Shopkeeper Qian smiled apologetically and said, "Master Qi, this guy just doesn't have a good brain. I'll give him some advice and he'll keep the sword for you!"
He felt that Master Qi was on the verge of murder. The Forge was a place where business was done. If someone died here, it would greatly affect the business.
Master Qi looked at Shopkeeper Qian sternly: "What I said was not clear enough? Do I need to tell you again?"
Shopkeeper Qian showed a hint of fear and did not dare to say anything.
"If you have the guts, just go out with your sword!"
Qi Ye stared at Mu Bei.
Mu Bei glanced at the other party and walked towards the outside of the Forge. He quickly reached the threshold and stepped out of the Forge with one foot.
"Things looking for death!"
Master Qi looked grim, pulled out his broad sword, dived in front of Mu Bei, and struck down with his sword.
The sword wind is violent and terrifying!
The expression on Mu Bei's face did not change. The Suzaku sword was unsheathed and flashed out like lightning.
There was a click, and the broad sword broke into two pieces, and then an arm flew out diagonally.
The screams sounded at the right time, and Master Qi stomped back, bleeding from his broken arm.
"Seventh Master!"
The faces of the young men following Master Qi changed with shock, and they quickly stepped forward and helped Master Qi up.
Shopkeeper Qian and others were even more frightened. Master Qi, who was at the peak of bone forging, had his arm cut off by Mu Bei with a sword!
"Damn it, come with me and kill him!"
Master Qi roared.
Several young men did not dare to disobey, so they all drew their swords from their waists and rushed towards Mubei in a swarm.
"Stop it all!"
There was a loud shout, and a middle-aged man in armor walked over, followed by more than a dozen imperial guards.
The commander of the City Lord’s Mansion, Xu Yong.
"Commander Xu, you came just in time. This bastard destroyed my sword and damaged my arm. Please punish him immediately!"
Qi Ye pointed at Mu Bei and said viciously.
Commander Xu looked at Mubei, who said: "I have bought this sword. He wanted to take it by force, so I was forced to fight back."
Commander Xu looked at Master Qi with a stern look and angrily shouted: "You bastard! Such clever and plundering, do you still have any city rules and regulations in your eyes?"
Master Qi was stunned: "Commander Xu, you..."
"What is this?! He violated the city rules in the street, acted arrogantly and recklessly, come and arrest him and the people who are traveling with him!"
Commander Xu shouted.
More than a dozen imperial guards immediately stepped forward and quickly detained Master Qi and his party.
Master Qi was almost stunned and said angrily: "Xu Yong, we have known each other for seven years. I have given you a lot of benefits on weekdays, but you actually treat me like this?!"
"Shut up!" Commander Xu said sternly: "What seven years of friendship? I don't know what you are talking about! I have never taken any advantage from you! It is impossible to have any interaction with bandits like you!"
He waved his hand at a dozen imperial guards and shouted solemnly: "Take them away! Take them to the prison. If anyone dares to disobey, he will be killed on the spot!"
"yes!"
More than a dozen imperial guards, all brave and skilled in fighting, soon escorted Qi Ye and others out of the military casting workshop and headed towards the Yamen prison.
The Forge was silent for a moment. No one expected that the ruthless seventh master of the Red Flame Gang would end up like this today.
At this time, Xu Yong walked up to Mu Bei, held his fists in front of Mu Bei in salute, and said politely: "Mr. Mu, are you not injured?"
