Ugly Cultivation Notes

After Xu Chunniang was invited into the elegant room, not long after waiting, a thin old man opened the door and walked in.

His skin is dark and he looks unremarkable. He is even thinner and shorter than the average demon, but he has an aura about him that cannot be ignored, and his cultivation is as deep as the ocean, unfathomable.

Xu Chunniang subconsciously straightened her body and tensed her mind.

Facing this old man, her heart beat faster involuntarily, and she felt a sense of danger.

This was her body's instinctive reaction after sensing the approach of a powerful person.

The old man noticed her nervousness and smiled slightly.

"Guests, don't be nervous. We are running a shop and we value peace. I heard that you have a pliers from the Sand Scorpion King here. Is it in good condition?"

Hearing this, Xu Chunniang relaxed a little, but still did not dare to be careless.

She took out the scorpion pincers she had prepared and placed them on the table.

"Please take a look."

The old man's eyes fell on the scorpion pincer on the case, and he squinted his eyes as if he was looking at it carefully. He didn't speak for a long time.

Xu Chunniang was very patient. The old man was silent, so she never spoke.

After a long time, the old man looked away and slowly said, "This Sand Scorpion King seems to have been seriously injured before the scorpion pincers were removed?"

Hearing this, Xu Chunniang didn't show it on her face, but in her heart she recognized the old man's ability to identify objects.

Being able to tell from a removed scorpion pincer that the Sand Scorpion King had been injured requires meticulous observation and vicious and precise vision.

"Yes, when I met this Sand Scorpion King, it was injured and the scales on its abdomen were broken. I took advantage of its serious injury and took away one of its pincers."

The old man took another look at Xu Chunniang and saw that even the seriously injured Sand Scorpion King was still very fierce.

Not everyone can do it with the cultivation level of the Heavenly Demon's first level, and take off one of the Sand Scorpion King's pliers.

"Although the fracture is not neat, the quality of this scorpion pincer is not bad. However, the Sand Scorpion King was injured too much and the demonic energy in his body was severely lost, which slightly affected the quality of the scorpion pincer.

However, the overall impact is not significant. It is still feasible to use it to create a demon-level magic weapon. "

The old man pointed at the scorpion pliers and made several gestures, "Cut it along the lines in the middle and refine it into a scorpion scissors, which can retain the power of the scorpion pliers to the maximum extent.

Or if you have other ideas, you can tell them, but the final product will definitely not be as powerful as the Scorpion Scissors. "

After listening to the old man's story, Xu Chunniang quickly made a trade-off.

"Refining other magic weapons will cause the Scorpion Claw to lose part of its power, so it's better to refine it into the Scorpion Scissors."

"Row."

The old man took out a pen and paper, sketched a few strokes on the paper, and drew a rough outline of the finished product.

Then, he drew up another list below the finished product picture, writing down all the materials needed for refining and the magic crystals required.

"This is the appearance and size of the scorpion pincer after it is successfully refined, as well as the required materials and costs. Take a look. If there is no problem, pay a 50% deposit. I will accept this order."

Xu Chunniang glanced past the finished product picture above and looked at the list below.

There are dozens of lists containing dozens of magic materials, and the lowest-level ones are all magic materials for the first level of Heavenly Demon.

The old man said slowly, "If you can provide these materials, the corresponding fees can be waived."

Unfortunately, these refining materials are all kinds of weird and strange, and Xu Chunniang not only does not have them, but she has never even heard of some of them. "I can't provide the materials, so I'll just calculate the price you offer."

"Okay, you can use high-grade magic crystals to settle the materials for the ordinary Heavenly Demon First Realm and Heavenly Demon Middle Realm. There are a total of 2.06 million magic crystals. I will round them up and charge you 2 million magic crystals.

Other precious materials and labor costs must be settled with top-grade magic crystals. If you add them all together, you will get six million magic crystals. Six top-grade magic crystals are enough. "

After the old man calculated the total price, he quickly gave a quotation.

"For a 50% deposit, you only need to pay 10,000 pieces of high-grade magic crystals and three pieces of top-grade magic crystals. When the goods are delivered, you can pay the remaining balance."

The material and labor costs alone are as high as eight million magic crystals, not counting the scorpion pincers as the main ingredient.

With the addition of scorpion pincers, the final product may be worth over ten million.

But when she thought about it carefully, what she wanted to build was a demon-level magic weapon. Such a high cost was reasonable.

Xu Chunniang took out the deposit and handed it to the old man along with the scorpion pincers.

In the past six years, she had walked the Prisoner's Sand Mountain with the Soul Breath Vine and gained a lot. Only then did she have the confidence to spend huge sums of money to build heavy swords and scorpion scissors.

"How long does it take to build these scorpion scissors?"

The old man thought for a while, wrote down the contract and handed it to her, "It must be at least twenty years."

"Twenty years is too long. I will leave during the next stable period."

Xu Chunniang frowned. In another ten years, Qi Shashan will usher in a period of stability.

At that time, she will leave Shacheng and return to the north with the monks from Jinyun's caravan.

Twenty years is too long. By the time the Scorpion Scissors are successfully refined, she may no longer be in Qingsha Mountain.

"It doesn't matter. After the Scorpion Scissors are successfully refined, you can pick it up at any branch in the North. We have our own way to deliver it to you. You only need to go to the branch to explain the matter one month in advance. That’s it.

But please remember to keep the contract form I gave you. This is the only proof when picking up the goods. If you lose it, our store will not recognize it. "

After hearing what the old man said, Xu Chunniang felt relieved.

Sure enough, any business firm that can open a branch in remote Shacheng is very powerful.

"Okay, I understand. I'll come back to get it twenty years later."

Xu Chunniang stepped out of the weapon refining workshop, feeling a little hopeful in her heart that the heavy sword and scorpion pincers would look like it.

I hope that these two finished products will not disappoint her when the time comes.

After leaving the weapon refining workshop, Xu Chunniang did not leave the city. Instead, she bought two houses with wide views and excellent locations in the city and settled there.

The sand beasts have begun to become restless, and the tide of sand beasts may break out at any time. It is no longer safe to leave the city at this time.

She has been walking in the prison sand mountain full of yellow sand for six years, and has experienced countless battles, large and small. She can just take advantage of the arrival of the sand beast tide to take a good rest in order to prepare for the next battle.

In the next half month, Xu Chunniang stayed in the newly purchased house and did not go out again.

Every few days, Iwaguang will report to her the latest news inside and outside Shacheng.

"Recently, the number of sand beasts near Sand City has increased significantly, and the restlessness has become more and more frequent. The monks in the city have realized that the tide of sand beasts is coming.

The price of elixirs in the city has increased by 30%, and I am afraid it will continue to rise. If nothing goes wrong, the sand beast tide will break out within five days. "
