Chapter 163 Fishing and Extortion(1/3)
"Bait? How can I help?"
Li Yuan was slightly startled, remembering Liang Ashui's bait. Could it be that the old man also discovered it?
But when he saw him smiling without saying a word and staring directly at him, he realized that this old man was going to use him as bait!
"I……"
Li Yuan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after the words circulated around his mouth, he changed:
"It's not impossible..."
"oh?"
Jing Shuhu narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had found a lot of excuses along the way, such as "All masters have to go through hardships and ups and downs, and nothing can be accomplished without polishing it."
But now I find that I can’t seem to use it anymore?
"Gotta pay more!"
Li Yuan was very quick-thinking. Jing Shuhu had already found the bamboo forest, so he must have discussed it with Lei Jingchuan.
It's not easy to refuse an estimate, so it's better to take advantage of it and ask for some benefits.
"Ahem~"
Jing Shuhu almost choked on his saliva and glared at him angrily, but did not refuse:
"What do you want?"
"God... ahem, inner armor, heavy armor, bows and arrows, well, the minimum is a high-grade famous weapon."
The lion of Liyuan opened his mouth wide.
"Get out!"
Jing Shuhu almost laughed out of anger, but after thinking about it, he agreed: "Just one thing, not more!"
Really?
Seeing his bluntness, Li Yuan secretly muttered: "No, you'd better tell me what kind of fish you plan to catch first!"
"Letter from a secret agent. Someone from Sanyuanwu has sneaked into Zhelongfu City. It is suspected that there are elders and true disciples leading the team."
Jing Shuhu didn't hide anything: "This group of people must be pulled out before the Sanyuanwu army arrives!"
After a slight pause, he added: "Perhaps, there are also the remnants of the Evil God Sect and Qianjun Cave."
"ah?"
Li Yuan was a little stunned and said suspiciously: "Are you sure that I can lure these people out?"
"You underestimate yourself too much."
Jing Shuhu took another sip of wine and looked at him with a half-smile:
"Dragon-shaped root bone, a wizard of weapon casting, and a disciple of Han Chuijun. With all these names combined, which spy wouldn't want to kill you?"
"this……"
Li Yuan thought of the ever-increasing bounty on the stone tablet at the base of Zhaixing Tower, and he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
He rarely goes down the mountain, and he really doesn't know how famous he is outside.
But hearing this, it seems very small?
Jing Shuhu put away the wine gourd and said:
"I can give you a piece of high-grade inner armor for self-defense. If you put it on the one you wore before, even a master of channeling will not be able to kill you with one hit."
Before he came, he had prepared the inner armor.
"this……"
Li Yuan thought for a while: "Disciple, I think one piece of inner armor is enough. How about changing to a different bow?"
Qiu Changying's soul-chasing arrows left a deep impression on him, and he had been collecting bows and arrows these days.
However, most of the Qiu family disciples in Lichen Hall followed Qiu Zhengxiong to Dechang Mansion, and he only got two weapons in total, which was not enough for the combined troops.
"You have a big appetite for a top-grade longbow."
Jing Shuhu frowned, even if he took a weapon from the Shenbing Pavilion, he would have to make up for it.
A top-grade bow is not easy to shoot, and it often takes several years...
"Well, how about changing the sword?"
Jing Shuhu still had some pain in his flesh, but when he saw Li Yuan lowering his head to eat the leg of lamb again, he had no choice but to agree:
"I can give it to you, but you will have to make two more for me later, and three more top-grade weapons. Well, you don't have to pay for the materials!"
"this……"
Li Yuan frowned and made a condition: "Then, you have to give me two ounces of fine gold..."
"You still want adamantine?"
Jing Shuhu's face darkened: "Let's wait until you have perfected your weapon-making skills. Return the fine gold. Do you think this thing is easy to do?"
"Then, one or two?"
Li Yuan took a step back.
Fine gold is a rare material that can only be used to build magic weapons. At least one tael can be extracted from at least three thousand taels of gold. Not only is it precious, but the extraction process is also very cumbersome and troublesome.
He inquired many times and found out that all the fine gold in the Forging Soldier Valley was in the hands of Uncle Hu.
"One or two, um, let's talk about it when we get back."
Jing Shuhu thought for a while: "If this trip goes well, I can give you one or two when I come back, but you have to buy it..."
"good!"
Li Yuan jumped up and grasped it with his greasy hands:
"make a deal!"
"roll!"
Jing Shuhu waved his sleeves and swung away from this philistine boy, his eyes filled with disgust:
"Get ready. When you go down the mountain early tomorrow morning, I will follow you in the dark..."
…
…
[Hundred Years Ox Bow (Level 5)]
[The lifespan of an ox is twenty, and the lifespan of a spiritual ox is two hundred... The master craftsman took the sinews of a hundred-year-old ox, soaked them in a secret medicinal soup for ten years, and mixed them with all kinds of gold and iron. The spirit has been born...]
[Conditions for control: extremely powerful, ox-shaped, perfect arrow technique]
[Control effect: Level 5 (light yellow): Archery talent, tendon of the spiritual ox
Fourth level (green): eyes like a torch, shooting rocks and drinking feathers]
What a bow!
On the awning boat, Li Yuan reluctantly looked back. The bow was very good, but the old man was very cunning.
Jing Shuhu came to the door early in the morning with a bow, but he carried it on his back. If he couldn't catch any fish, the bow would be useless to him.
He is indeed a cunning old man.
"There are a lot of good things in the Divine Weapon Pavilion. We can even take out top-grade famous weapons. Are there any top-grade famous weapons? Do you have any divine weapons?"
Li Yuan thought to himself that he had never entered the Shenbing Pavilion or the secret building so far.
"Why did Brother Li suddenly want to go down the mountain?"
It was Liang Ashui who was holding the boat. After he was far away from the river bank, he said, "Isn't it inappropriate to go down the mountain at this time?"
During this period of getting along, buying fish and becoming "fishing friends", the two of them no longer had the awkwardness they had before.
"Before the early spring, all the business in the city must be inventoried. We can't do it without going down the mountain."
Li Yuan prepared an excuse.
"You can't control some business, you..."
Liang Ashui shook his head and suddenly realized when he saw the two ships following him.
He was acting on his own behalf, forgetting that there are 'protectors' in the True Tradition Travel...
"The Sanyuanwu army is approaching, and the city is heavily guarded, so there won't be any danger."
Li Yuan changed the subject and asked about the red arowana.
“It’s not easy to fish.”
Liang Ashui couldn't help but sigh: "I have never seen such a difficult fish to catch in my life. It should be easier to catch when the weather gets warmer, right?"
