Chapter 3 Shopkeeper Shen (please collect and read)
"Yunxiu, you stay at home and take care of yourself. I'll go to Fangshi."
The magic sword is made.
Chen Ling was going to Fangshi, handing him over to shopkeeper Shen in exchange for spiritual stones, and checking to see if there was any other work.
There are also spiritual rice, meat, etc. that have been exhausted, and some have to be exchanged. My wife is in confinement and needs enough nutrition every day!
"Husband, please be careful when going out!"
"Come back when you're done. Don't delay outside!"
I heard that Chen Ling was going to Fangshi.
He Yunxiu, who was playing with Chen Pingan, had a worried look on his face. Although the safety of Jinshanfang City was guaranteed, their cultivation level was too low. Even an accident might kill them.
And now Chen Ling is the only support for their mother and son!
"Don't worry, the market is not far away. Give the magic weapon to Shopkeeper Shen, exchange it for the spirit stone, buy some things, and I'll be back."
Then, Chen Ling opened the door and walked out.
The weather in April was a bit hot in the afternoon, and there was a hint of darkness in the crowded shantytown.
Chen Ling walked down the bumpy alley with a "calm" look on his face. Although he was still a little panicked in his heart, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was not living as haphazardly as before.
The surrounding spring is gloomy.
There are buds growing on the jujube trees on the street, which makes people feel happy when they see them.
With hope and expectations in life, he looked at everything around him with vitality!
On the road, monks passed by each other from time to time, and some were neighbors of Hongye Lane for many years. Chen Ling also bowed his hands to greet them one by one.
As soon as we arrived at the spacious main road, the atmosphere became lively. The road was paved with stone slabs, and vendors setting up stalls a few feet apart were shouting and making noises.
Chen Ling didn't stop at all and walked along the main road towards Fangshi.
As soon as we arrived at the main road, we could already see the city wall of Fangshi. The wall was about three or four meters long. It was engraved with various complex formations and had the aura of spiritual energy fluctuations from time to time.
This kind of magic circle aura makes people feel an inexplicable sense of security!
"Whenever you have enough spiritual stones, you can also set up a magic circle in your own courtyard. It will be much safer!"
Chen Ling thought to himself.
There were more people in the market than on the main road. Chen Ling followed the crowd and entered the market.
The safety factor within the city is much higher than that of the neighborhoods outside the city.
When they first arrived here, they lived in Fang City. However, after He Jing's death, they lost their largest source of income and had no choice but to move to their current place.
But even in Hongye Alley, the rent is not cheap. With the influx of pioneer monks into the city every year, the rent is rising.
If it wasn't a fluke that inspired Goldfinger this time, he would have had no choice but to go mining in mineral veins hundreds of miles away to cover his family's expenses.
Fortunately, it is no longer needed.
Although the trading hours have passed, the city is still bustling with activity. There are many shops on both sides of the main road, with dazzling decorations, and most of them are equipped with defensive arrays.
Chen Lingjiao was familiar with it and soon came to a shop that mainly sold magical instruments. On the facade were three dazzling gilded ancient characters "Duobao Pavilion".
Went straight in.
This is a store opened by the Qin family of the Ji-building family in Fangshi.
The ancestor of the Qin family was once a disciple of Elder Jindan of the Qingyang Sect, and the Qin family was also considered a well-established family in the Qingyang Sect.
But now the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion, Shopkeeper Shen, is the son-in-law of the Qin family and was originally on good terms with He Jing.
All the magical instruments refined by He Jing were entrusted to Shopkeeper Shen for sale.
Although He Jing passed away, shopkeeper Shen still took good care of Chen Ling and would still take care of him whenever there was some low-level magic weapon business.
However, Chen Ling's own skills are limited, and the magical weapons he refines are often not up to standard, leaving customers dissatisfied.
Shopkeeper Shen is a middle-aged man with good fortune. He is a little overweight and is at the seventh level of Qi training. He is checking the account book and is slightly surprised to see Chen Ling.
Chen Ling hurriedly clasped his fists in salute and said with a smile, "Uncle Shen, the magic sword you want has been refined by my nephew."
As Chen Ling spoke, he took out the magic sword from the storage bag and handed it to Shopkeeper Shen.
Shopkeeper Shen was stunned, put down the account book, took the magic sword, and checked it.
He quickly showed a happy expression and said, "Yes, Level 2 Spiritual Restriction."
"Your boy is really fast this time! The quality is also good!"
"There are twenty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones here, please count them!"
After Shopkeeper Shen finished speaking, he took out a spirit stone bag from the counter and poured out twenty low-grade spirit stones.
The market price of this magical sword containing a second-level spiritual ban is twenty-five spiritual stones, or more.
But Chen Ling has always chosen to trade with Shopkeeper Shen. Although he makes less money, it is safer.
There is no need to worry about safety issues, and the spiritual stones are paid and delivered in one hand.
And as long as you deal with Shopkeeper Shen alone, many potential risks are reduced.
Chen Ling put away the fifteen spiritual stones, pushed the remaining five spiritual stones to Shopkeeper Shen, and said with a smile, "Uncle Shen, these spiritual stones should be regarded as my nephew's thanks for your care!"
Shopkeeper Shen smiled, glanced at Chen Ling, waved his hand and said, "You are not rich, so just keep it for yourself."
For a weapon refiner, what he values is the potential of the other party. Naturally, he will not take this spiritual stone to heart.
Originally, his patience with Chen Ling was almost exhausted.
The reason why the sword was handed over to him for refining this time was actually because the disciples of the Qingyang Sect accidentally discovered a third-level vein of strong gold mine in Yunmeng Swamp recently, and the sect wanted to recruit a large number of monks to mine it.
As a result, the demand for magical weapons skyrocketed, and other weapon refiners were too busy to do anything, so he had no choice but to hand over the magical sword to Chen Ling for refining.
Of course, Chen Ling didn't know the reason for this.
He stayed at home all year round and didn't know about the Fierce Gold Mine.
"I still have orders for ten low-level magical weapons. The embryos of the magical weapons have been refined, and they only need to engrave the spiritual forbidden weapons. Two of them even require the use of third-level magical weapons, and they must be completed within ten days. Do you dare to take it?"
Thinking that he would not be able to find any other weapon refiners to complete these customized magic weapons for a while, Shopkeeper Shen simply asked Chen Ling to give it a try.
When Chen Ling heard this, his face suddenly showed joy. He thought about it, clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Shen, my nephew promises to finish it."
Although it was quite difficult to successfully carve ten spirit taboos in ten days, he was in a hurry to earn spirit stones and couldn't care about that much.
"good!"
Seeing that he agreed, Shopkeeper Shen took out a second-level storage bag, handed it to Chen Ling and said, "There are ten custom-made magic weapons in it, five of which are first-level magic weapons, three second-level magic weapons, and two third-level magic weapons. Forbidden by law.”
"The total reward is one hundred and eighty spirit stones. I can give you a deposit of twenty spirit stones in advance."
"Thank you, Uncle Shen!" Chen Ling took the storage bag and thanked him with clasped fists.
Although Shen Zhen is a businessman, Chen Ling feels that he is quite kind.
Suddenly having forty low-grade spiritual stones in his hand, Chen Ling felt excited and felt a little bit like a nouveau riche.
You must know that their monthly rent is eight low-grade spiritual stones, which is already so heavy that he can hardly breathe.
And if this order is completed, there will be an income of one hundred and eighty spirit stones, which will make your life smooth in the future!
After putting away the storage bag and spirit stones, Chen Ling was about to say goodbye to him.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhen glanced around, smiled and whispered, "Chen Ling, since you are already a middle-level weapon refiner, it will be easier to earn spiritual stones in the future. Do you have any thoughts about taking a concubine?"
"Why does Uncle Shen ask that?" Chen Ling replied with a guilty conscience.
Now in order to obtain incense points, he naturally wants to add more family members, but his wife has just given birth to a child. If he rushes to take a concubine, wouldn't it chill her heart?
Of course, for the sake of incense value, he can't worry so much. He just needs to compensate his wife more in the future.
Shen Zhen's face showed some embarrassment and said, "A few days ago, a fellow Taoist went to Yunmeng Swamp and asked me to take care of his daughter and find a suitable husband for her."
"This girl is in her twenties and is at the second level of Qi training. If you are interested, you can get married to her."
