Chapter 166 Sixth Figure Conditions

hum~~
The little bee that Chen Ku transformed into was extremely fast, and the key was that he could also make use of the Nine-Colored Deer's [Nine-Colored Light Technique] to hide his body.

He flew out of Yaowang Hall and came to the street of Baojiao City.

"The firewood and iron shop is on East Street. Half of the street is occupied by iron shops and firewood transport shops. Although I don't know if Xie Wenyuan and Xie Qingfeng, father and son, are in the firewood and iron shop all day, I can smell the smell. It's in that area. The two places are very close. I'll know if I go over and take a look."

For a firewood and iron giant like Chaitiepu, the Xie family has a large courtyard covering dozens of acres in Baojiao County. It is the Xie residence, not far from Chaitiepu.

About the time of a cup of tea.

Chen Ku came to the shop of Chai Tie Pu.

Ding!
Ding!
Dang Dang!

Entering through the front door of the firewood and iron shop, you will find that the shop is no smaller than that of the Medicine King Hall, and is even more spacious. The ground, pillars, and walls are all hung with weapons, farm tools, and other iron tools.

"Based on my understanding of weapons, I only know that weapons can be divided into four levels: iron weapons, sharp weapons, famous weapons, and divine weapons."

The invisible little bee that Chen Ku turned into flew around the weapons one by one. It can be concluded that those hanging on the wall and piled under the pillars are all the most common iron tools.

If it collides with the sharp blade of his blood knife, it will be cut into two halves in an instant.

This is the difference between a sharp weapon and an iron weapon.

And above all the sharp weapons, there are also famous soldiers, which are more than just sharp.

"I used Master's Fire Dragon Head Stick once, and I could clearly feel the difference between a famous weapon and a sharp weapon. The Fire Dragon Head Stick is not only sharp, but also has a special 'quality'. I'm not a blacksmith, so I can't explain it clearly... But if I have a famous weapon-level stick, it can double my combat power."

Chen Ku thought in his heart that he was quite coveting his master's famous weapon.

Speaking of which, his iron dragon stick has long been unable to keep up with his improvement in strength. Now, it is just a sharp weapon and is not worthy of his divine power.

"I don't know if there are any weapon forgers in the Chai Tie Pu who can forge a 'famous weapon'. There should be some. My Yao Wang Hall has an alchemist who can refine fifth-grade elixirs. As one of the three giants, how could the Chai Tie Pu not have a weapon forger of the famous weapon level?"

Chen thought hard:

"If there is a weaponsmith of this level, it means that there should be weapons of the famous soldier level in the firewood and iron shop."

If he had not become incompatible with the Chai Tie Shop, he might have been able to pay some money to have the Chai Tie Shop make a stick of famous soldier level.

But now,
Given the life-and-death competition between Yaowangtang and Chai Tiepu, it would be impossible to ask Chai Tiepu to forge the famous soldier stick.

"So if I want to upgrade my weapon, I only have a few options left. Either I wait for Yaowang Hall to annex the Chai Tie Pu and see if there is a chance to find a famous weapon-level stick in the Chai Tie Pu, or... I kill a few more weapon forgers in the Chai Tie Pu so that I can have the ability to forge weapons?"

As the saying goes, it is better to have something yourself than to have it from both your parents.

hum~~
The slight flapping of wings is a sound that ordinary people cannot hear. Chen Ku walked as if no one was around, as if he was strolling in his own back garden. He came into shops of all sizes including the firewood and iron shop, and even the heavily guarded warehouse.

As expected, he found a large number of weapons with dazzling array and shining precious light in the inner storehouse of the firewood and iron shop.

"Wow, there are swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, and all kinds of weapons. The weapons stored in this inner storehouse are actually sharp weapons at the lowest level."

Chen Ku wandered around the inner storehouse of the Chai Tie Shop. He looked around and found many sharp weapons, including some sticks, whose quality was far superior to his own iron stick.

even,
He also found three weapons that were suspected to be of famous soldier level.

A sword with a cold glow and a blade as sharp as autumn water.

Chen Ku flew over with a Fang Tian Hua Ji and touched it lightly, estimating that the lightest one must have weighed at least eight or nine thousand kilograms.

There is also a pair of tiger-head hammers with tiger heads and mouths, which are black in texture. Under the faint light of the inner treasury, they actually have some magical power to distort light. They seem to be made of extremely expensive black metal.

Just after Chen Kufei landed on the pair of black gold tiger-head hammers.

[There is an element near the map owner that meets one of the conditions for completing the sixth transformation map]

[Conditions for the sixth transformation diagram: 10,000 catties of black gold, 10,000 catties of mercury, 100,000 ounces of gold, third-level jade muscle mastery, 10 fourth-level evil spirits, one fourth-level top-quality transformation]

Chen Ku was shocked.

This is,

The cultivation conditions of the sixth transformation diagram were triggered again.

He checked it immediately.

"Black gold...Gold..."

Take a breath.

The ratio of gold to silver in the Daji Dynasty is one to twenty.

In times of war, the value of gold is even higher.

One hundred thousand taels of gold, converted into two million taels of silver.

"What kind of transformation diagram is this? Just call it the Gold Swallowing Diagram."

Even if my heart is throbbing.

But thinking about the sixth transformation diagram, if I want to completely complete all the conditions, I estimate that I will have to wait until my cultivation level has made a great progress before I can pass it.

Don’t think about it for now.

But the black gold is right in front of you.

There is no reason to miss it.

[Within one foot of the figure, if the conditions for practicing 'Ten Thousand Jins of Black Gold' are met, do you want to make a sacrifice? ]

Chen Ku knew clearly at a glance that they were talking about the pair of black gold tiger-head hammers, a hammer of the famous soldier level. If it were normal times, he would definitely feel distressed.

But this time they had arrived at the inner storehouse of their archenemy.

Why feel sad?

"Sacrifice!"

Sizzle~~~
Suddenly, the pair of black gold tiger-head hammers in the inner treasury turned into a golden light, as if they were swallowed up clean by some invisible giant in the void.

It evaporated directly in the inner warehouse.

[The owner of the diagram has met one of the conditions for practicing the sixth transformation diagram (1/6)]

It felt like the sixth change diagram was lit up by one-sixth of the painting.

Chen Ku took a deep breath.

Then he looked at the weapons and the two remaining soldiers, thinking it was a pity:
"I can't carry a storage bag with me after this transformation, otherwise I would have packed all of them up and taken them away. Even if I don't need them, I can't let them turn into weapons to attack Yaowang Hall."

Sighed.

Chen Ku sighed in his heart:

"The storage bag is useful, but it also has obvious shortcomings. Although it is small, it still needs to be carried around. It would be great if I could kill a bear someday."

It can change with your body and swallow anything into its stomach. Even if your body shape changes, your stomach and stomach can change with it. How convenient!

Finally, he looked back at Neiku.

He thought to himself that if the poison had not been successfully applied, he would have wanted to set fire to the place.

Whoosh~~
He transformed himself into a little bee and quietly flew out of the firewood and iron shop through the gap in the window. After a round of inspection, he did not find Xie Wenyuan and his son in the firewood and iron shop.

"Then it should be at Xie's house."

Chen Ku flew from the firewood and iron shop to the Xie residence which was not far from here, only one or two miles away. From the entrance of the residence, it could be seen that the Xie family had strict guards.

There are eight guards guarding the gate alone. Each of them has a strong body. Especially the brilliance in their eyes shows that these guards are all masters who have at least entered the Xuanguan realm.

Chen Ku flew into the crack of the door in front of the eight guards as if there was no one around. His small body followed the scent of Xie's father and son in the Xie residence and landed on a huge pot of flowers and green plants outside the Xie family's lobby.

Following Chen Ku's bee-like perspective, there were three people in the lobby.

"That's... County Magistrate Qi!"

Chen Ku's heart trembled slightly, and he immediately thought of the news that Kou Ming brought back to Yaowang Hall.

The Chai Tiepu had established private connections with the government, and was going to become an official businessman and wear red clothes.

He pricked up his ears slightly, and spread his hearing, which was a combination of many changes, towards the hall about five or six feet away.

In the lobby.

There were two armchairs on the left and right. The old shopkeeper Xie Wenyuan sat on the left. On the right was a table with two cups of tea. Further to the right sat a middle-aged man with a slender figure and a crane-like temperament. He had a beard on his lips and had the air of a scholar, as well as an indescribable official air.

It was the second-in-command of Baojiao County, County Magistrate Qi Wanshan.

"Thank you, Mr...."

County Magistrate Qi placed his left hand on the table, extended his index finger, tapped it lightly, and said slowly:
"Back then, I had high hopes for Chai Tie Pu because of Qing Feng's outstanding achievements. I wanted to help Chai Tie Pu rise to prominence so that you could stand out in the open. But now it seems that Chai Tie Pu's performance is disappointing."

When he talked about Xie Qingfeng.

The handsome and gentle young man sitting between the two men closed his eyes and said nothing.

Xie Wenyuan frowned slightly and explained, "Master Qi, it's just because Yaowang Hall has a genius boy. The world is not short of geniuses. Master, you don't think that Chai Tie Pu, which has the upper hand, will be reversed because of Chen Ku from Yaowang Hall. To tell you the truth, according to your secret order, Chai Tie Pu has secretly forged fifteen divine crossbows. As long as fifteen third-level masters secretly set up the crossbows, even Yang Luchan will have a 70% chance of assassinating him with one strike."

"Oh, fifteen?"

Qi Wanshan raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

“It’s quite efficient.”

"Sir, don't forget how the Xie family made their fortune. I dare not talk about other things, but when it comes to forging weapons and equipment, this is the specialty of my Chai Tie Pu."

Xie Wenyuan said slowly:
"Besides, there is the 'Ruyi Stone' that the Lord secretly gave me. Fifteen pieces in five years is not too fast."

"Mr. Xie's 'weapon casting technique' is considered number one in Qiulong Mansion. After all, he is a recognized 'master craftsman of famous weapons'. With your participation, 15 divine crossbows in five years is really fast enough."

When Qi Wanshan heard that there were already fifteen divine crossbows, his expression eased a lot. He first smiled and complimented Xie Wenyuan, then changed the subject and said:
"It just so happens that the government will be meeting with Grandmaster Qin Yuxian and Captain Ye Zhong's 'Divine Machine Camp' to go into the mountains to quell the monsters. It shouldn't be a problem to temporarily requisition your ten divine crossbows."

"The cross? This..."

Xie Wenyuan frowned, his tone unhappy, and said slowly:
"My Chai Tie Pu is preparing to go to war with Yao Wang Tang in a short period of time to decide who will be the master of the Bao Jiao Xing Gang. Recruiting the Ten Crosses at this time... will affect the strength of Chai Tie Pu. If Yao Wang Tang strikes first, we will lack a strong trump card."

"What? Don't want to?"

Qi Wanshan gently picked up the teacup and said slowly:

"That's fine, but don't forget that the court chose Chai Tie Pu only because you are obedient and willing to submit to the court. This opportunity was only given to you, Chai Tie Pu first. If it wasn't Chai Tie Pu, it could have been Yulonghui and Yaowangtang. Do you believe it... As long as the court opens its mouth, they can also negotiate and be loyal to the emperor and the country?"

This statement came out.

Xie Wenyuan's face was as black as ink.

"Father."

Suddenly, Xie Qingfeng spoke.

Xie Wenyuan looked over and saw his son Xie Qingfeng saying slowly:
"The Divine Power Crossbow was originally a divine weapon made by Chai Tiepu for the imperial court. It does not belong to Chai Tiepu. It is natural for the imperial court to compete for it. My son agrees."

"Haha... As expected of the Thirteenth Young Master."

Qi Wanshan laughed, then looked at Xie Wenyuan and said calmly:
"Your son is more clear-headed than you are. You are lucky to have a good son. He will bring prosperity to your family for three generations."

Xie Wenyuan took a deep breath.

It seemed like he was enduring something.

Finally he said slowly:
"Master Qi is right. Let's do it this way. But I hope that after the imperial court suppresses the demons and suppresses the rebellion, it will fully support Chai Tie Pu to unify all industries."

"It's natural."

Qi Wanshan said calmly:

"Tan Chongrui wants to reform Baojiao County. The current division of the three factions is the best time for him to divide and win over the three factions. The sooner they merge into one, the sooner they can be united. This official and the officials in the government are all aware of the pros and cons of this."

"That's good." Xie Wenyuan seemed persuaded.

"In that case, please lead the way, Young Master Thirteen. I will take away ten divine crossbows today."

Qi Wanshan stood up directly from his chair.

Xie Qingfeng said expressionlessly, "Okay, sir, please. The divine crossbow is in the secret kiln outside the city. I will lead the way for you."

The two of them walked out of the lobby.

Chen Ku lay on the green plants outside the hall and heard the conversation between the three people clearly. He was secretly surprised: "Divine power crossbow? They have already built fifteen of them!"

That day, he had witnessed the power of the divine crossbow and knew very well what kind of artifact it was.

If fifteen third-level masters really were to operate crossbows, they might actually threaten the fifth-level masters secretly.

"In five years, fifteen were made. This means... five years ago, the Chai Tie Pu had established a connection with the county government, etc..."

Chen Ku seemed to remember something:
"Five years ago, wasn't it the year when County Magistrate Shangguan Yun came to Baojiao County? Could it be that this county magistrate actually has his own thoughts?"

Simultaneously.

He also heard a few people talking about the materials for refining the divine crossbow, and they mentioned the "Ruyi Stone", which seemed to be a very special material.

But Chen Ku has never known anything about this, so it seems he has to go back and study what the Ruyi Stone is.

And just as he was thinking about it.

Click!

Suddenly, Xie Wenyuan suddenly smashed the teapot on the table in the hall. Immediately, an old housekeeper in the courtyard whispered to a maid:
"Quick, go get a new pot of tea."

Chen Ku's eyes moved slightly, the opportunity had come.

So he waited there.

at this time.

Then the old butler in the lobby walked in with a broom in his hand, sweeping up the debris while speaking slowly:
"Master, calm down. We are businessmen, and they are officials after all..."

"Qi Wanshan! Qi the Turtle! Do you really think I can't see his own ambitions and goals? He wants to use me and the Chai Tie Pu as his tools... and this time he asked for ten divine crossbows right out of the box? Can he return the things he took away to us?"

Xie Wenyuan's face was as gloomy as water, and he looked as powerful as an old lion.

but,
After getting angry, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"We are all thousand-year-old foxes. No one just says it out loud. This dog official wants to use my firewood and iron shop. I also want to use his power to unify Baojiao County. Especially... he actually taught me the method of making the divine crossbow. Fifteen in five years? With my personal participation in making them, how could there be only fifteen in five years..."

Chen Ku was listening outside and was secretly shocked.

This means,

Chai Tiepu actually has what is believed to be twenty or even thirty magical crossbows?

Just at this time.

"Why hasn't the tea come yet?"

After this roar, the maid outside immediately responded with fear:
"coming."
