Chapter 14 Start refining weapons
The next day.
Yu Xian sent away Eunuch Li, the general manager of the palace, who came to deliver gifts. Then he turned around and looked at the large and small gift boxes piled in the courtyard, and couldn't help but shake his head.
It's so fancy, you might as well give him a discount.
Fortunately, the monthly salary will increase in the future. Five hundred taels of silver is not much, but it is better than the steady flow of money.
Moreover, the sales prices for the mid-term and early-term congenital periods can be different. In the future, the palace will probably not allocate general tasks to him anymore, as the price/performance ratio is too low.
Of course, even if he is given a task, he will not take it.
Why move when you can just lie down and have sex for free?
On the other side, Yulan was quite happy.
After Eunuch Li left, she walked through the gift boxes, opening one from time to time to appreciate it, especially the pieces of brocade silk that were said to be royal tributes, which she couldn't put down.
"Master, this material is so beautiful. Let me make you some clothes." Yulan said happily.
Yu Xian glanced at Chen Yi, who was waiting quietly beside him, and suddenly remembered how cute she looked last night, biting the corners of the quilt tightly, unwilling to cry out, and couldn't help but smile:
"Okay, there is a lot of material here. Remember to make one for yourself and your little sister Yi with the rest."
"Grandpa is so kind to me! Sister Xiaoyi, you will help me, right?"
Yu Lan looked at Chen Yi and extended an invitation.
These days, there are very few daughters who are not good at female celebrities, and even the princess's embroidery skills are excellent.
Chen Yi replied in a low voice, not in a high mood.
But Yu Lan didn't seem to be able to tell. He walked over and took her hand, then started to bite her ears and discuss the style of her clothes.
"By the way, you guys are looking after the house today while I go out to do some errands. If that guy comes to offer compensation, just accept it."
Yu Xian turned a blind eye to the two women's scheming, and after exchanging a few words, he carried his wine gourd and left the palace.
…
Baobao Tower.
This is the largest trading house in Changning City. It is said to have a million treasures and connects the north and the south. The wealth of the entire building can buy half of Changning City. It is said that there is a royal palace background behind it.
Yu Xian said there was no need to follow the rumors.
Because he asked Eunuch Li, who came to give gifts not long ago, where to buy jade in the city, preferably large pieces.
Eunuch Li immediately recommended Baibao Tower to him and introduced that Wang Fu was the big boss of Baibao Tower.
If he goes there, with his status as a heavenly worshipper, he can get a 30% discount on shopping.
Yu Xian didn't do anything like walking in brocade clothes at night. He showed his royal palace token to the guests as soon as he entered the door, and immediately a senior steward from Baibao Tower came to receive him.
VIP room upstairs.
The maid placed two plates of cakes and bowed before leaving. The steward personally served Yu Xian tea with a respectful look on his face.
"I would like to have some tea with you, Mr. Yu. I wonder what you want this time? As long as we have something in this building, I will find it for you."
Yu Xian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and expressed his feelings.
"I want a piece of solid jade, the material doesn't matter, the bigger the better, at least three feet square."
The probability of finding a magic weapon in the mortal world is no less than finding a needle in a haystack, and Yu Xian has never felt that he is the lucky one who can pick it up casually.
So he planned to refine one himself.
Of course he doesn't know how to refine weapons seriously, but he knows a thing or two about primitive blood refining.
This is a weapon refining method belonging to the poor monks.
Find a decent amount of materials, and cultivate them day and night with your hard work, magic power, and spiritual awareness. Generally, within three months, you can initially refine the weapon embryo.
If you keep cultivating it like this for three to five years, it will probably be able to successfully transform into a low-grade magic weapon.
Such a low-grade magic weapon is more in tune with the mind of the person who made it, and its power when wielded is three points higher than that of an ordinary magic weapon.
If you continue to add materials to smelt in the future, you will have the opportunity to upgrade the magic weapon.
However, this method takes time and effort, and can easily delay practice. Generally, monks can only refine one piece at most, and once the magic weapon is broken, the master's vitality will be greatly damaged.
It is said to be the original method of refining weapons.
Later, due to the advancement of weapon refining methods, the world of immortal cultivation gradually eliminated this backward method of weapon refining.
But for a poor man, as long as he can do it without spending money, it doesn't matter if he wastes some time and energy. This method of blood refining has become very popular.
As a reserve soldier who once dreamed of becoming an immortal, Yu Xian was naturally unwilling to be left behind and got one early.
"No restriction on material, large piece of jade?"
The steward repeated Yu Xian's request in a low voice, and quickly recalled the products of Baibaolou in his mind.
I sipped my tea quietly without disturbing the steward's thoughts.
In his eyes, the most valuable things in the mortal world are probably minerals.
Whether it is gold, silver, copper, iron, or jade, they all have a certain value even in the world of immortality.
Gold essence, silver liquid, copper mother, black iron and other refining materials can all be extracted from ordinary ores, but the amount of raw materials required is too large for ordinary monks to do it.
Not to mention anything else, I can't even afford a large-capacity storage magic weapon.
Yu Xian wanted to buy some iron ore and refine it himself.
But when he thought about the workload and the environment in the mortal world, it would be difficult to even replenish his spiritual energy, so he gave up decisively.
So he chose jade.
Jade is the essence of stone and naturally contains weak spiritual energy. It is a natural material for refining weapons. It is easy to use for refining weapons because it is simple and easy to use. Even a single material can produce a weapon embryo.
The disadvantage is that it is cheap but not good, the magic weapon produced is weak, and it is easy to be suppressed when fighting with others.
But as long as it works, I don’t need a bicycle.
Yu Xian is very self-aware of his wealth and fighting skills.
The steward searched through his memory, but couldn't find a piece of jade that met Yu Xian's requirements.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, but we really don't have the large piece of jade you are looking for in this building. The largest piece of jade we have here is a jade cabbage, but it is only about a foot long and wide. Do you want to see it?"
Yu Xian was a little disappointed, shook his head and said: "No need, please keep an eye on me first. If there is any news, send someone to Prince Fu's Mansion to look for me."
After saying that, he had already stood up.
"I will give you a moment."
The steward called Yu Xian and looked like he had just remembered: "What Yu Zongfeng said just now reminded me that if Yu Zongfeng wants a large piece of jade, it is better to wait a few days and come over to have a look.
Because then there will be a group of jade merchants from the southwest who will auction a batch of raw jade ores and some jade collections in our Baibao Building. "
"In addition, jade merchants from several surrounding counties will come to buy goods. If they don't even have it, then there probably won't be any jade that meets your requirements in Changning County."
Changning City is a transportation hub on the water system. Thanks to its favorable location, it has a strong commercial atmosphere. Every year, caravans and ships from all over the country stop here to trade.
Baibaolou, who has a royal background, is the best middleman and can provide communication channels and platforms for unfamiliar merchants. Baibaolou uses this to make a fortune.
Hearing this, Yu Xian suddenly felt that he was lucky. Although he did not pick up the missing magic weapon directly, at least he had a solution immediately after encountering difficulties.
"Okay, what's your name? I'll look for you directly when I come over."
"Little Liu Sanquan."
The manager's smile was more sincere this time.
The palace token that Yu Xian presented was owned by the Heavenly Enshrined Emperor, and had a high status in the palace.
If he makes a connection today, the path up Baibao Tower will be much easier in the future, and he may even have a chance to spread his name to the prince.
"Well, I remember you."
Yu Xian didn't talk nonsense, he just said a word and walked out of the room.
He always goes straight when buying things and buys whatever he wants. He doesn't like to hang around.
But he suddenly paused, and then quickly came to two guests who were chatting in the hall nearby.
"What were you talking about about the arms case? And what about the Quang Nam riots?"
