Chapter 9(1/2)
"Your Highness, according to the news we have received so far, the aliens have gone to the central and southern regions."
Yu Renshu nodded, "How many cities are there in the central and southern regions?"
"There are sixteen cities, four of which are adjacent to the Zhouqu Canal. If an outsider wants to escape, the waterway is the fastest, so my subordinates believe that he may have been in these four cities."
"It makes sense, let's go down the Zhouqu Canal to find it."
"yes."
Yu Renshu closed the map and turned around. The man who was on the horse just now disappeared. He jumped off the horse and walked towards the bushes, "Tianrong?"
"I'm here." A deep male voice sounded.
Yu Renshu walked around a big tree, where a man with amber hair was sitting under the tree enjoying the cool air, his slender legs crossed casually, "Tianrong, what are you doing here?"
The man under the tree raised his face. He was a handsome man full of wildness. His pupils were the same amber color as his hair, like shiny beeswax, dangerous and mysterious.
"I hate the sun shining on me."
Yu Renshu smiled and said: "If you hate the sun, don't come out."
"But the scenery along the way is so beautiful, I can't get enough of it." Tianrong played with a bright red flower in his hand, "How big is this world? Why do I feel like I can't see the end? There are people who are more alive than me.
Time, much bigger?”
"I don't know either. Tianling Continent is already very big. I won't be able to finish it in my lifetime. And outside Tianling Continent, there are foreign lands overseas. One day I will take you across the sea to have a look. Do you want to see it?"
?"
Tianrong smiled, "Of course."
Yu Renshu stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go."
Tianrong stood up with the help of his strength. He patted the grass on his body and stretched his tall body. His eyes were full of fighting spirit. "I really want to know what kind of strange beast is sealed in that heaven-level soul weapon."
Maybe they will be old acquaintances."
Yu Renshu curled his lips and smiled, "It's best."
Meng Sheng took the long leg bone and looked at it carefully, "Is this really Lili's bone?"
Zhi Xuan looked unhappy, "You doubt me?"
"Of course not." Meng Sheng said with a smile: "If it is really Li Li's bone, this size is suitable for making an earth-level dagger."
"How much can a dagger be sold for?" Jiang Chaoge asked.
"I looked through the classics and found that the raccoon is not a very ferocious beast, and the attack power when summoned is not strong. It is worth two to three hundred silver coins at most."
"An earth-level soul weapon is so expensive. I'm curious. If you are so poor, how did you get that Xuan-level sword? You can't buy a Xuan-level soul weapon without hundreds of gold coins."
Meng Sheng sighed, stroked his sword, and said sadly: "This was left to me by an old friend of mine who died."
Jiang Chaoge regretted asking the question. He had been paying attention to Meng Sheng's sword for the past two days. If he took it to a pawn shop, he would definitely be able to exchange it for a large amount of money. As long as he was given a month, he would definitely be able to redeem it. But after hearing this
He couldn't explain the origin of the sword. He had to say: "Mr. Meng, introduce me to a soul weapon master, and I will sell this raccoon bone."
"Okay, if we can make it into a soul weapon, it will take us a while to sell it."
"Not enough." Jiang Chaoge touched his chin, "I need a gold coin."
Meng Sheng was surprised: "What do you want so much money for?"
"I plan to buy all the ready-made Ming Ling grass in Juan City that can be dried in the next 49 days. In this 49-day cycle, I can earn your pension."
Meng Sheng was stunned, "This..."
Jiang Chaoge said with a smile: "But this kind of speculative business can only be done once, and it is easy to be hated by others. Once you have capital, it will be easier to do other businesses."
Meng Sheng rubbed his hands, "Can you really make a lot of money?"
"must be able to."
"Let's go, I'll take you to find the Horcrux Master."
Zhi Xuan grabbed Jiang Chaoge's clothes and said, "Give me..."
"Buy good wine, yes, now I will exchange this bone for money and buy you a jug of the best wine."
"If you lie to me again..."
"No." Jiang Chaoge reached out and flicked his forehead, "I guarantee you'll have a good drink."
The trio, old, young and young, set out to find Meng Sheng, a soul weapon master they had known for a long time.
The Horcrux Master lived in a small two-story attic. The house looked nice, but the yard was messy, with random animal bones and armor piled randomly on the grass.
Meng Sheng patted the door panel, "Brother Xu, Brother Xu!"
An old man came out and said, "Hey, Brother Meng, you're back." He opened the door, "You've been in the imperial capital for a few months, have you brought anything good back?"
"Hey, don't mention it, I was..."
"I brought this back." Jiang Chaoge raised the thing wrapped in his hand and smiled sincerely, "Mr. Meng brought back this raccoon bone from Tian'ao City."
Meng Sheng turned to stare at him, but Jiang Chaoge's expression remained unchanged.
"Li Li's bones?" Mr. Xu opened the door, took the bones, and looked around the cloth, "But these are loose bones. Besides, Li Li is not a ferocious beast. Brother Meng, you didn't bring anything back this time."
Something."
"I originally..."
"Mr. Meng brought back a lot of good things." Jiang Chaoge said with a smile, "I keep them at home now."
Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes, "Who is this little brother and this kid?"
Meng Sheng coughed lightly and said, "He is a traveler I met in the imperial capital. That is his son. They travel around and make a living by reselling Horcrux raw materials."
"Oh?" Old General Xu was doubtful. Generally, those who resell Horcrux raw materials are rarely too young. Looking for treasures among bulk materials is like looking for real antiques among a pile of fakes. Without rich experience and knowledge, they would have been lost long ago.
He lost all his money. Not only was this man young, but his soul power was also weak, which really made people suspicious.
There was no trace of timidity on Jiang Chaoge's face, and he opened his mouth to brag, "Mr. Xu, since I left home at the age of fifteen, I have traveled half of the Tianling Continent and seen thousands of beasts. I once made a lot of money in one fell swoop.
I was left penniless. In my early years, I was young and energetic, and I dared to gamble my fortune on the same thing. But now that I have a child, I am much more cautious. I no longer look at those mysterious-level materials, but specifically look for good materials from the prefecture-level.
I have never misunderstood the raw materials of soul weapons. I got help from Mr. Meng on the road and wanted to repay him, so I helped him find a lot of good materials at the prefecture level. I followed him to Juan City. I heard from Meng
The old man said that you are a famous soul weapon master in the city, and you will definitely live up to these good materials, but I still want to see Mr. Xu's ability first, and then decide whether to hand over the remaining good materials to you."
Cold sweat broke out on Meng Sheng's forehead. He really didn't expect Jiang Chaoge's mouth to be so powerful. Coupled with that upright and handsome face, he could lie naturally. In the end, he even used a provoking move. Could it be that Jiang Chaoge was following him on the road?
Are you already prepared to inquire about Mr. Xu’s character?
Sure enough, Mr. Xu's eyebrows suddenly stood up, and his voice rose, "Young man, I don't know how much you are capable of, but when it comes to materials and making Horcruxes, I'm not afraid of anyone in the entire Huan City. What do you think?"
Test me with this bone? Okay, come in, and I'll show you if I have the ability to accept your good stuff."
The three of them followed Mr. Xu into the courtyard.
Meng Sheng glanced at Jiang Chaoge. Jiang Chaoge blinked at him with a smile on his face. Zhi Xuan grabbed Jiang Chaoge's collar. His golden eyes were full of contempt and he opened his mouth to speak.
Jiang Chaoge gently touched his soft and red lips with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat well and drink well, you have to be obedient, okay?" His voice was gentle and doting, completely like a father's tone.
Zhi Xuan curled his lips and stopped talking.
As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Chaoge was shocked. This was no place for people to live. It was completely a Horcrux manufacturing warehouse. All the rooms on the first floor had been opened up, and several columns were used to support the walls, the floor, and the desk.
, everything within reach is full of animal body raw materials, with bones and armor being the most numerous. There are also a lot of animal skins, feathers, tails, tendons, and claws, which opened Jiang Chaoge's eyes. With just this room of animal materials,
It is enough to prove the qualifications of the owner of the house.
Mr. Xu put the raccoon bone on the desk and spread out a thick, old book. It was a book that had been passed down in Tianling continent for thousands of years. It only described the strange beasts, monsters and spirits in more detail.
Many things can be found recorded on it.
Mr. Xu searched for a long time and finally found a picture of Li Li, "Leg bone... leg bone... Looking at the comparison of the pictures, it is indeed Li Li's leg bone, but to confirm, its beast soul must be summoned."
, maybe its beast soul has already been possessed."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "No one can say for sure."
Mr. Xu said: "Old rules, do you want to pay in full or in advance?"
There is a rule for reselling bulk materials. After the buyer has basically determined what kind of animal bone it is and decides to buy it, he must summon the animal soul to know whether it is that kind of animal and whether the animal soul has been occupied. There are risks involved in this.
, the buyer and the seller will negotiate who will bear it. The so-called full payment means that the buyer pays a very low price. Whether it is waste or treasure, the material has nothing to do with the seller. The so-called prepayment means that the buyer does not pay a penny.
After the finished Horcrux is made, it will be divided with the seller. The buyer bears the risk for the former, and the seller bears the risk for the latter.
Jiang Chaoge really likes to play this kind of business that "satisfies the brave and starves the timid". It is exciting, high-risk, and high-reward. In terms of courage, it is the thing he lacks the most. But right now, what he needs most is capital.
, only with capital can he buy more bulk materials. He said simply: "I want to pay in full."
Mr. Xu was a little surprised, "You want to pay in full?"
Jiang Chaoge said with a smile: "We are short of money right now. Moreover, we brought back a lot of bulk materials from the imperial capital this time. If we don't miss this one, let's treat it as a gift to Mr. Xu."
Mr. Xu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you five hundred copper coins."
Jiang Chaoge didn't want too little, "Five hundred is five hundred."
"What about the remaining bulk materials...?"
