The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 403 Sword Test

Lu Qian took the yellow paper and saw that it was an auction order from the famous "Sifang Pavilion" auction house in Dali.

It is clearly written on it that on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Yundeng bought a blue Yin stone at the Hengzhou auction house for 500,000 taels of silver.

Gu Yi said: "The originally negotiated price for the flying sword cast for the young master was three million taels. Later, we unexpectedly received news that there was a blue Yin stone for sale in Sifang Pavilion in Hengzhou. This blue Yin stone is One of the best auxiliary materials for casting flying swords. Adding it to flying swords will greatly improve the quality of flying swords.

Since the incident happened suddenly and there was no time to discuss it with the young master, I took it upon myself to add this blue stone to the young master's flying sword. "

Gu Yundeng had already told Lu Qian about this matter.

Now Gu Yi showed this auction sheet to Lu Qian in person, just to prove to him that they were not lying.

Lu Qian had already expected that this blue stone would be very expensive. Although he saw the transaction price of 500,000 yuan, he was not surprised.

Lu Qian nodded and said: "I already know about this. It was I who asked Yun Deng to build the best flying sword at all costs. Therefore, although I was not informed of this matter in advance, I agree. This... …”

Gu Yi stretched out his hand to stop Lu Qian's words, took back the auction order, and then said: "Brother Xian misunderstood, I have no intention of renegotiating the price with brother Xian. For this flying sword of brother Xian, we still pay three hundred A deal worth ten thousand taels."

"This……"

Lu Qian was surprised when he heard Gu Yi's words.

Five hundred thousand taels of silver, even for today's Gu family, is definitely not a small amount.

At least, Gu Yundeng's life is definitely not worth this amount.

Gu Yundeng, who was accompanying him, was also shocked.

It seems that Gu Yi didn't even inform him about this matter beforehand.

Seeing what Lu Qian wanted to say, Gu Yi directly stretched out his hand to stop Lu Qian's words, and then said: "If you have no objection, dear brother, let's go try the sword?"

Seeing this, Lu Qian instantly understood what Gu Yi meant.

Gu Yi had to express his intention to repay his kindness, but he never mentioned the intention of repaying his kindness.

He didn't want to end this "kindness" with Lu Qian.

If he didn't mention it, then the Gu family would still owe Lu Qian's "hmm".

On the other hand, Lu Qian will also have a close relationship with the Gu family.

The meaning can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Gu Yi is paving the way for the future of the Gu family.

……

The group of people left the living room, walked through the long corridor, and entered the backyard.

From the first sight, it is a very large yard, facing an artificial lake with three rockeries stacked in the lake.

On the left side of the artificial lake, a corridor has been built along the waterfront; on the right side, there is a garden with elegant winding paths and various flower beds planted. Even in this February when it is warm and cold, there are still flowers in full bloom.

"Master, please——"

Everyone walked along the corridor and entered a waterside pavilion.

The waterside pavilion is very empty, but the surrounding decoration is very elegant. It has obviously been recently emptied. The window on one side is wide open, offering a panoramic view of the garden.

Lu Qian was admiring the scenery all the way, and when he came here, he finally couldn't help but said: "In this bitter cold place in the north of the Great Wall, we can actually see the scenery of Jiangnan Villa. Brother Gu is such an elegant person."

Gu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Lu Xian is promoting Brother Yu. This house, including this garden, were all made by our ancestors. I don't have the ability."

With that said, Gu Yi walked to the center of the room, where there was a lonely table. On the table was a lonely sword stand, and on the sword stand was a sword less than three feet long.

The body of the sword should be white, with a hint of green in the center, and the outside of the sword is shrouded in blue light. From a distance, there is a blue and green shimmer flowing on the sword.

The sword is less than three fingers wide, with almost no hand guard at the mouth, and the hilt is wrapped with gold wire. The whole sword is small and exquisite, which is very eye-catching.

Flying swords are mainly wielded by the spirit of the true spirit, and their uses are very different from ordinary swords, so they are generally not too big. Common flying swords are only over a foot long. In comparison, this flying sword is already very long.

Lu Qian followed Gu Yi to the sword and looked at it carefully.

Gu Yi smiled and stretched out his hand, indicating that Lu Qian could pick it up.

Lu Qian stretched out his hand to grasp the hilt of the sword and picked it up.

The hilt of the sword felt warm to the hand, but there was a chill on the sword. Only then did Lu Qian realize that the sword hilt was not made of gold, but had a texture more similar to jade. He could not identify what kind of material it was.

The blade of the sword is light but not frivolous. As soon as he took advantage of it, Lu Qian couldn't help but praise: "What a sword."

Gu Yi smiled and said: "Ordinary flying swords are mostly made of black silver and mithril. This sword only uses a little bit of black silver. It is mainly made of mithril and aqua jade that is abundant in Hantan Mountain, and is mixed with Eleven rare materials including blue stone were used. We spent a lot of effort to create this sword."

Lu Qian nodded and said, "Not bad."

Gu Yi pointed out the window again, pointing at the highest rockery standing in the center of the artificial lake and said, "Did you see that rockery, dear brother?"

Lu Qian had already noticed the rockery. The bottom of the rockery seemed to be made of common Taihu stone, but the appearance of the upper part was obviously different from Taihu stone. At first glance, it seemed to be the same gray-white color. However, when the sun shines on it, it will reflect back the strong light.

So much so that in the sunlight, the entire rockery looks golden and has a sense of sacredness.

With such an eye-catching rockery, it is difficult not to attract attention.

Moreover, Lu Qian also discovered that there were three holes in the rockery.

These holes were obviously not drilled recently, but had a long history.

Seeing these three holes, Lu Qian immediately understood and asked, "Is this the 'Sword Testing Stone'?"

Gu Yi nodded and said: "This is the best sword-testing stone."

As he spoke, he waved, and a very strong man came over with a hard bow.

Gu Yi took the hard bow and handed it to Lu Qian, saying, "This is a five hundred stone hard bow."

Lu Qian took his hand and pulled it, and it turned out to be extremely heavy.

Of course, with his current level of cultivation, it is still very easy to draw such a bow.

Gu Yi took another arrow and handed it to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian weighed it and found that the arrowhead was very heavy and the triangular arrow cluster looked very sharp.

Gu Yi added: "This is the strongest sharp gold arrowhead. It can penetrate even a finger-thick iron plate."

After saying that, Gu Yi handed the bow and arrows back to the big man and said: "Only the strongest sword-testing stone can block such a bow and arrow."

Lu Qian understood that Gu Yi wanted to test the authenticity of the sword test stone in this way, so that he could test the sword more easily.

The fact that the arrow hit the rockery without breaking it is enough to prove the strength of the sword test stone.

Lu Qian smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

After saying that, Lu Qian reached into his arms and took out a piece of paper cutting.

He shook the paper-cut away, but it was a paper-cut painting of a woman.

Lu Qian put the paper-cut on the ground, and the plain paper-cut immediately filled up and turned into a woman.

Even the well-informed Gu Yi couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw this surprising scene.

What shocked him even more was that the cold aura emanating from this woman was extremely strong, which showed that her cultivation level was at least comparable to the peak of the fifth level, much stronger than him!

Gu Yundeng had seen Lu Qian's paper bride before, so he wasn't too surprised.

Lu Qian looked at Gu Yi's shocked expression and smiled at him: "Brother Gu, it's better to be sincere between you and me. It doesn't have to be this way."

When Gu Yi heard this, his old face couldn't help but blush, and he said with a smile: "No, no, although Yun Deng has told me about the skills of my wise brother, seeing it with your own eyes is different from hearing it with your ears."

Lu Qian pointed to the rockery in the center of the lake and said to Wang Yuanzhang, "Go and see the sword-testing stone."

Wang Yuanzhang was born in Liuyun Villa and is the daughter of the Sword Immortal. Naturally, she is no stranger to sword testing stones.

Of course, Lu Qian would not treat the Feijian with a huge sum of three million as a joke, so he brought Wang Yuanzhang here specially.

Wang Yuanzhang nodded, flew out of the water pavilion, and landed on the rockery in the center of the lake.

She only glanced at it for a few times, then flew back and said to Lu Qian: "The top-grade sword testing stone can penetrate this stone, which is enough to prove that this sword is a top-grade flying sword."

Magical instruments are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade according to their grades.

The best magic weapon, no one can create it now. Being able to create a top-grade flying sword is already the pinnacle level of contemporary people. It can also be seen from this that the Gu family's attainments in weapon refining are indeed extraordinary.

Lu Qian threw the flying sword in his hand into the air. The flying sword spun in the air but did not fall.

Then, the flying sword flew out of the window and stabbed the rockery.

The flying sword hit the sword testing stone on the rockery. Lu Qian used just a little force and the flying sword pierced through the sword testing stone, leaving a fourth hole in the sword testing stone.

This hole is very new and is obviously different from the previous three.

After the Feijian Cave pierced the hole, it rotated around the lake, flew back from the window, and landed steadily on the sword stand.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yi was shocked again.

There is another master of swordsmanship in this world!

Gu Yi had long known that Lu Qian was a warlock, and had always felt strange about his request to build a flying sword.

It cannot be said that there are no such people who practice martial arts and swordsmanship at the same time, but it is extremely rare.

Those who can master both and reach the late stage of fifth level are almost rare, at least there are no such people in this world.

Therefore, everyone in the Gu family, including Gu Yi, unanimously believed that Lu Qian's sword was made for his sword cultivator friend.

They had been guessing for a long time in private, counting all the sword masters in the world, but they couldn't guess who it might be.

Unexpectedly, this master of swordsmanship was actually Lu Qian himself!

Wang Yuanzhang glanced at Lu Qian, exchanged glances with him, nodded and said, "This flying sword is also a top-quality flying sword among high-grade flying swords."

Although Wang Yuanzhang can no longer practice swordsmanship, her eye for swords is probably unparalleled in this world.

After hearing this, Lu Qian nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Gu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I am not boasting. Although this flying sword is not as good as those famous historical swords, in the contemporary era, it should be said to be second to none."

Lu Qian nodded and said: "The Gu family is indeed a family of weapon refiners. I am very satisfied with this sword. I have to worry about it now."

Gu Yi nodded and waved again, and a maid came in carrying a tray.

There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the tray.

There was only one piece of paper on the tray, and it looked very delicate.

Gu Yi picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, then suddenly raised his head and said to Lu Qian: "This sword belongs to the wise brother, and it is up to the wise brother to name it."

Lu Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's call it 'Blue Sea Sword'."

Gu Yi nodded and said: "Blue Water and Blue Sea, apt and a good name."

After that, he picked up the pen and wrote a few lines on the paper, then handed the pen to Lu Qian and said: "Xiandi signed his name, and this 'Blue Sea Sword' will belong to Xiandi."

Lu Qian did not take over the writing first, but took out the 2.55 million tael banknote that Gu Rui had just issued to him and handed it to Gu Yi.

Gu Yi glanced at it a few times and handed it over to his subordinates.

Lu Qian took the pen and read what was written on the exquisite paper: "Today I received a high-grade flying sword 'Blue Sea Sword' custom-made by Jinyang Gu Family. The money and goods have been paid without any objection."

Lu Qian signed and looked up at Gu Yi. Both of them smiled.

Gu Yi held the Bihai Sword in both hands and handed it to Lu Qian. Another person held an exquisite scabbard and handed it to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian put away the Bihai Sword and carried it directly on his back.

With a sword in hand, one looks a bit like a "swordsman".

Gu Yi looked at Lu Qian and praised: "Xiandi's ability to practice both martial arts and swordsmanship has reached such a state. It is really rare in this world. He is indeed worthy of the name of 'the first casual cultivator in Dali'."

Lu Qian didn't expect that his name would be called out before he even came out of the mountain.

Gu Yi said: "Now that we've finished talking about official business, it's time to fulfill my personal friendship as a landlord. I've prepared a table of wine and food, and my dear brother must appreciate it."

Lu Qian smiled and said, "I promised Yun Deng to come to your place just to eat."

"Haha, feel free. Dear brother, please."

After the delivery of the flying sword was completed, both parties suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, as if some burden had been lifted.

For the Gu family, after the money was collected and the goods delivered, the rest was none of their business.

For Lu Qian, there is no need to worry about what tricks the Gu family will play.

If they really wanted to play some tricks, they wouldn't be able to build this sword honestly.

The Dali Kingdom's annual tax money is only tens of millions of taels. They made this sword. Except for Lu Qian, it was difficult to find someone willing to pay millions of taels of silver for it.

Lu Qian waved his hand, looked at Gu Yundeng, and said, "There's one more thing..."

Gu Yundeng understood and immediately said to Gu Yi: "Wu Changsheng is still waiting. How about I take the young master to see him first?"

Gu Yi stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, and said: "Look at my brain, I have completely forgotten about this giant Buddha. Okay, let's go first, I'll go to the Donghua Hall to wait."

Lu Qian glanced at Gu Yi and said with a smile, "Why, didn't Brother Gu invite him?"

Gu Yi said seriously: "Brother Xian has misunderstood. This Wu Changsheng is here for Brother Xian and has nothing to do with our Gu family. We have no knowledge of the matters between you now and in the future."

Lu Qian understood that although the Gu family had helped Wu Changsheng, they did not want to have any involvement in it, so Gu Yi deliberately did not mention anything about Wu Changsheng, waiting for Lu Qian to speak first.

Everyone parted here, and Lu Qian followed Gu Yundeng to another remote courtyard.

When he came to the door, Gu Yundeng said to Lu Qian: "Wu Changsheng and Mr. Bai are inside. I won't go in and will wait for the young master outside the door."

Lu Qian nodded. He had already put Wang Yuanzhang away and walked into the yard alone.

This is a quiet and unique small courtyard, surrounded by flower walls. Looking outside, the scene outside is clear, and there is not a single person in the empty space.

As for the only big house in the courtyard, the doors and windows were closed. Looking inside, nothing could be seen from the outside.

The Gu family obviously put a lot of thought into the arrangement of Wu Changsheng.

Seeing this, Lu Qian walked directly to the big house, pushed the door open and entered.

The light in the room was a little dim, and there was a square table in the hall with three people sitting there.

Sitting directly opposite him was Bai Tan, whom he hadn't seen for several months.

Bai Tan looked up and saw Lu Qian, smiled at him but said nothing.

Sitting on the left is a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing white clothes and looking quite young.

The last one was a woman wearing a light pink dress.

This woman is very beautiful, she seems to be only thirty years old, and her skin is well maintained. However, Lu Qian estimated that her real age must be older than she looked.

These two are obviously people in high positions, and they both have an aura of aura in their bones.

Seeing Lu Qian, the two stood up at the same time.

Bai Tan glanced left and right, still sitting alone, taking a sip of tea at the door.

Lu Qian saw this and smiled: "Is your condition okay?"

Bai Tan nodded and said, "It's not bad, I didn't lose my life after all."

Lu Qian only said one sentence to Bai Tan, and then turned to the other two people.

The man in white clasped his fists at Lu Qian and said, "You must be Mr. Lu Qianlu?"

Lu Qian smiled and said, "You're welcome, just call me Lu Qian."

The man in white smiled slightly and said: "I am a few years older, so I won't be polite to you. Please sit down."

Lu Qian did not sit down, but glanced at Bai Tan and said, "My friend, I would like to ask about the care of Tianjian in the past few days. Since you two have brought my friend here today, I want to know first. What do you say?"

The man in white sat on the chair, pressed his hands on the square table, laughed first, and said: "The imperial court has no clear decree and does not allow goblins to exist in the world. As long as he does not harm people at will, we will not kill him."

Hearing these words, Lu Qian's pupils shrank slightly, and the true spirit energy in his body began to circulate quietly.

The "Blue Sea Sword" in the sheath on his back had been mentally imprinted by Lu Qian. At this time, he seemed to feel his state and trembled slightly.
