The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 127 Start Trading

Su Yan felt an aura similar to Zhao Pan's from Zhao Ziyun, and the two of them should be practicing the same martial arts.

"Zhao Ziyun is Zhao Pan's son. He has been training in the city guards since he was young and is quite powerful."

Bai Yun pointed at a young man in black armor standing beside Zhao Ziyun. He had eyebrows like ink paintings, a face as sharp as a knife, and a thick-backed broadsword on his back.

"That's Zuo Feiying, the son of Zuo Qian, the Right Colonel Commander. He wields a tiger-back sword, but it's said to be as fast as a shadow."

Among the few people, there was also a woman in green, wearing a flying swallow hairpin on her head, a jade belt around her waist, holding a light white sword in her hand, and her eyes were as clear as water.

She was located between the two of them. Although she was not as flamboyant as Zhao Ziyun and Zuo Feiying, she firmly occupied the core position.

"Who is that?"

"Liu Ruoshi, daughter of County Magistrate Liu Pingchuan."

Bai Yun's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of surprise: "These people didn't join a sect like the Beast King Sect, but followed the imperial court's path. They came here to show off their power to the various families in the city."

After hearing what Bai Yun said, Su Yan also recalled what he had seen in the book.

The Dali Dynasty was also a super power in martial arts practice. Apart from the royal lineage, it had three major forces that suppressed the dynasty, namely one army, one guard, and one academy.

The army is the Dali Army, which includes the Divine Guard Army, the Demon-Suppressing Army, the Monster-Slaying Army, and the City Guard Army. Each has its own heritage, and the soldiers have their own methods of practice. It is the Dali Dynasty's sacred weapon for revitalizing the country.

Wei is the former employer of Zhao Pan, the commander of the Left Colonel, the Demon-Suppressing Guard.

Belonging to the imperial power, they are capable of suppressing demons, eliminating monsters, and killing officials... They have more methods than the Dali Army and are more specialized in dealing with various incidents.

The academy is the Qintian Academy, which has various beast spirit systems, alchemy, spirit sealing, forging and other skills of hundreds of schools, as well as star observation and fortune-telling. Many civil servants come out of it.

Although he is said to be a civil servant, he is actually a warrior. However, thanks to the special beast spirit, his methods are even more magical.

The Dali Dynasty was able to compete with many sects because of these three forces.

The reason why Xu Guan took the initiative to recruit Su Yan was that he wanted to train him through the line of constables and hope that he could pass the assessment and join the Demon Suppression Guard.

After all, recommendations also have merit.

Today's trade fair may seem like a transaction, but it is also a gathering. Disciples from various families who want to join the sect can meet each other. It is a good opportunity to see how each other compares, and secondly, to make a few friends and help each other. It is perfect.

But when this group of second-generation officials from the imperial court came here, things started to change a bit.

Fu Xuejing's face darkened slightly, but he didn't show it.

Those who come are guests. How can we drive them out without a reason?

Fu Xuejing was also unwilling to be the bad guy and be the first to take the lead.

"Brother Zhao, you're joking. Everyone knows you have some good stuff. If we could exchange it for treasures from you, we would be secretly happy. Please come to the box."

The private rooms on the second floor will naturally not be set up entirely according to the quotas arranged by Fu Xuejing, there will always be reserved seats.

Therefore, it was not a problem for Zhao Ziyun and others to sit down.

After everyone was seated, Fu Xuejing stood up, cupped his hands together, and said in a clear voice: "I am grateful to all my friends for thinking highly of me and for coming here at your invitation. I would like to thank you all."

While Fu Xuejing was speaking, the maids and servants serving in each box handed over a list of names written on brocade and paper.

Write a letter to each person who comes, and bring out the items for trade and the items you want to purchase.

Lin Junhao of the Lin family offered a second-level Xuanyuan grass in exchange for a second-level fierce wind fruit...

Su Yan quickly scanned the list, paying special attention to the trading item of Fu Xuejing from Tianfeng Weapon Shop, but he only saw a second-grade low-quality Fire Scale Knife, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Looking at him and Bai Yun again, he was suddenly stunned and saw only a blank space.

"Senior Sister, neither of us filled it out?"

Bai Yun glanced at his junior brother and said calmly, "Fu Xuejing sent someone to inquire about the transaction, and since you weren't here, I can cover it up. But if I'm the only one filling it out, it'll arouse suspicion. It's better not to fill it out. It's not a big deal."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Bai Yun was thoughtful and agreed to help Su Yan cover up the news of him leaving the city, and she did it without any leaks.

"What do you want to change, Sister?"

"I only have a second-level low-grade bone-nourishing flower in my hand, which can be used to nourish the bones. I want to exchange it for a tiger-shaped grass or a second-level tiger bone."

Su Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Senior Sister, have you decided to use the tiger as your intention?"

"I have a deeper understanding of the tiger form. I recently learned the tiger form fist with Elder Lichuan and have already mastered it. When I join the Beast King Sect, I intend to join the Hundred Tiger Peak and practice the true meaning of the tiger. Now I will lay the groundwork."

People have hundreds of appearances, and there is also a degree of compatibility in the true meaning of cultivation. It is not surprising that Bai Yun made this choice.

While the two were talking, the transaction had already begun.

Fu Xuejing came up to warm up the situation and ordered people to bring out three second-level weapons.

A knife, a sword, and a spear, each one sharp and delicately carved, one can faintly feel the aura of these weapons.

"I have three weapons made in my Tianfeng Weapon Shop: the Tiger Power Blade, the Autumn Water Sword, and the Cold Iron Spear. The Tiger Power Blade and the Autumn Water Sword are of the second-grade, lower-grade variety. They can cut through iron like mud and can amplify one's true essence and resonate with one's true meaning. The Cold Iron Spear is of the second-grade, mid-grade variety. It contains a wisp of the soul of the second-grade, lower-grade desolate beast, the Cold Water Leopard. It can amplify one's true meaning and also help one comprehend it."

After Fu Xuejing finished speaking, some people sat up straighter. Especially for the cold iron spear, it was not easy to retain a trace of true meaning during the forging. For warriors who practiced the power of tigers and leopards, this trace of true meaning would be of great benefit as a means of comprehension.

"Brother Fu, your Tianfeng Weapon Shop is really generous. You are willing to give out all these weapons."

The speaker was Lin Junhao, a skilled gunman who practiced the family-inherited Wind Tiger Technique, the true meaning of which was the first-level wild beast, the Swift Wind Tiger.

All this cultivation and years of preparation are for the purpose of joining Baihu Peak.

Now that I see this spear, my heart is already moved.

"Brother Lin, thank you for the compliment."

The fancy sedan was carried by everyone. Fu Xuejing's action was obviously instructed by the shopkeepers of Tianfeng Weapon Shop, and it also promoted the reputation of Tianfeng Weapon Shop.

In the past, Baicaotang would have done the same to demonstrate its strength in exchange for useful things, but now it can only hide and preserve its strength.

Fu Xuejing said: "Good weapons need good masters. Three second-level sharp weapons are exchanged for second-level and above metals and wild beast forging materials. Please make your bids."

Materials are hard to find, so Tianfeng Weapon Shop takes this opportunity to search for more usable weapon forging materials.

"Two pieces of second-level low-grade ice iron in exchange for the Autumn Water Sword."

Lin Yuzhi made the first bid, his eyes fixed on the Autumn Water Sword.

A piece of second-grade low-grade ice iron, combined with other second-grade weapon forging materials, is enough to forge a second-grade weapon.

Two pieces of materials in exchange for a second-level weapon is neither low nor high, it can only be said to be reasonable.

If it were usual, such a price would be appropriate, but it is different now.

As soon as the voice fell, Zuo Feiying glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Two pieces of second-grade low-grade ice iron are probably not enough to cover the cost of forging a weapon. Young Master Lin is really generous."

Lin Yuzhi's face turned pale: "Zuo Feiying, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing special. I think this sword is pretty good."

Zuo Feiying choked, then said: "Three pieces of second-grade low-grade black steel."

"Two pieces of ice iron and a pair of sword-horned deer skeletons." Liu Ruoshi raised her eyes slightly, her eyes flickering, and her lips slightly opened: "A second-level, mid-grade wild rhinoceros bone."

Everyone was slightly surprised, but when they thought of Liu Ruoshi using a sword, they felt it was reasonable.

After several bids, the scene gradually became lively. Although Lin Yuzhi also wanted to buy it, he couldn't come up with a more suitable price for the second-grade mid-quality wild beast bone.

Li Bowen made a bid, but was defeated by Liu Ruoshi who added two pieces of first-grade red gold.

After the Autumn Water Sword, there is the Tiger Sword.

Among the outstanding young men present in Yuncang Town, there were quite a few who practiced swordsmanship. This time, the competition among Wang Xiaohu, Zuo Feiying and others from the Wang family was quite fierce.

Their families all have elders in the realm of true meaning, and each has his own background. Although second-level materials are rare, there are ways to obtain them.

On the contrary, the chances of refining it into a second-level weapon are smaller, so naturally one is willing to put in the effort at this time.

Several people compared prices with each other and almost got angry.

In the end, Wang Xiaohu successfully took it with second-grade medium-quality jade gold.

When it came to the cold iron spear, things immediately became lively.

"One piece of second-grade medium-quality rock steel, two pieces of second-grade low-quality red-grained steel"

Zhao Ziyun spoke in an extremely domineering tone: "If anyone wants it, I will continue to raise the price."

"What a loud tone."

Lin Junhao was just about to use this cold iron spear to enhance his strength and comprehend its true meaning, so how could he be willing to give it up?

With a cold glance, he said, "One piece of second-grade medium-grade eye stone jade, two pieces of second-grade low-grade black water sand, and 100 first-grade Yuan stones."

Everyone looked at Lin Junhao in surprise, and Su Yan narrowed his eyes.

"The Yuanshi have all come out. It turns out that the Lin family and the Beast King Sect have some connection."

Ten taels of gold for one first-level Yuanshi, this is just a simple conversion ratio.

In fact, the price of Yuanshi can only go higher and not lower.

Yuanshi contains spiritual energy. It is a special mineral formed by the gathering and condensation of spiritual energy in mountains with special terrain.

Warriors can use Yuanshi to assist in their training, increasing the concentration of spiritual energy around them, which is not much different from being in a famous river or mountain. Compared with elixirs, it is safer, does not contain elixir poison, and does not require a break in use.

In real sect exchanges and between high-level warriors, Yuanshi is used as a medium of transaction far more frequently than gold and silver.

After all, this thing won't really depreciate.

If the grade continues to improve, it may even become a natural treasure.

"Three hundred Canadian dollars and one piece of black steel."

The two men kept bidding, and the others didn't dare to follow suit when they saw that their expressions were not right.

So the price kept getting higher and higher, and Zhao Ziyun even called out a high price of one thousand Yuanshi.

Fu Xuejing saw that something was wrong and stopped the bidding: "Brother Zhao, Brother Lin, this is not an auction. One thousand first-level Yuanshi are worth more than one hundred thousand taels of silver. This price alone is equivalent to a second-level mid-grade weapon."

This is a trade fair, not an auction. The one with the highest bid wins. Everyone knows this. Once you buy it, you buy it.

But at the trade fair, both sides shouted out high prices in a competitive atmosphere. They dared to shout out prices, but Fu Xuejing really didn't dare to accept them because the premium was too high.

One portion of second-grade medium-quality material, two portions of low-quality material, and so many gemstones.

If you really want it, you will offend people.

Lin Junhao looked at Fu Xuejing and glanced at him: "Brother Fu, it's not my fault if someone makes trouble."

"Humph, you don't even care about your face anymore."

Zhao Ziyun snorted coldly and said directly, "The highest bidder wins. Why can't your Lin family offer more?"

It can be taken out, but this kind of bid actually suits the wishes of Zhao Ziyun and the others.

If things continue to mess up like this, will the trade fair still be able to go ahead?
Doesn’t it mean that the power of the imperial court overwhelms them?

Fu Xuejing glanced at Zhao Ziyun, then said, "The Cold Iron Spear is made of second-grade mid-grade cold steel and the spine of a cold water leopard. The third shopkeeper spent three months forging it. The price is one piece of second-grade mid-grade material, three pieces of first-grade material, and a maximum of 500 Yuanshi."

Fu Xuejing had to draw a line. This price was previously offered by Lin Junhao and Zhao Ziyun.

Zhao Ziyun frowned: "Fu Xuejing, what do you mean?"

"Brother Zhao, please forgive me. The clear jade stone that Brother Lin provided is perfect for the Third Shopkeeper to forge another second-grade mid-grade sharp weapon, which is exactly what my Tianfeng Weapon Shop needs. In addition, the true meaning he cultivates is the Swift Wind Tiger, which is consistent with the true meaning of this Cold Iron Spear. This spear is more suitable for Brother Lin."

As soon as Fu Xuejing finished speaking, Zhao Ziyun's face had completely darkened. How could he swallow the humiliation of having to kick him out between the two choices?

His eyes were icy, but Fu Xuejing showed no sign of backing down. He simply said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry. You and Commander Zhao both cultivate the true meaning of the Gray Armor Rhino. Everyone knows that your spear is as strong as a mountain and as solid as a rock. Since you have the material of rock steel, wouldn't it be better if I asked the third shopkeeper to help you forge a rock armor spear?"

Fu Xuejing is indeed a smart person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to create such a situation.

Just a few words made Zhao Ziyun's expression ease a little, and he saved face.

The third shopkeeper, Ge Ming, is the number one second-level weapon forger in Yuncang Town. One of his weapons is worth a fortune, let alone one tailor-made for him.

"But, I'll come find you later, and the reward will be no less than that."

Now that the Cold Iron Spear has found its owner, the atmosphere at the trade fair has really become lively.

Fu Xuejing breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously glanced at the box next door, and then sat down.

In the next box, a middle-aged man with a pale and thin face, who looked like a tuberculosis patient, ate roasted chicken wings one by one, drank a pot of wine, and grinned.

"Chenyao, your junior brother is quite skilled and doesn't seem like a blacksmith."

"Uncle Xiang, I'm a forger, not a blacksmith."

Ye Chenyao corrected him, but Xiang Ge didn't care.

Ye Chenyao only said, "He is the disciple of the chief manager, so naturally he is more flexible and different from me."

Xiang Ge turned to look at the young man beside him: "Liu Bo, what do you decide among these people?"

Liu Bo glanced at me and replied respectfully, "It's pretty standard. I haven't made any moves yet, nor have I comprehended the Beast Subduing Seal. I can't tell if I have any talent or aptitude."

"If they don't do anything, then we can't tell. So let them do it."

Xiang Ge's eyes flickered and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He had passed through many counties and towns along the way. He had seen quite a few towns that recruited disciples in a conventional manner and was quite tired of it. It would be better to have some fun.

While he was thinking, the trade fair had officially begun. Lin Junhao took out the things he wanted to exchange and placed them on a tray padded with brocade.

A piece of Xuanyuan grass, a second-level black giant ape spine, and a green wild beast egg.

The servant took him to the center of the first floor and let everyone watch.

Lin Junhao said in the private room, "Let me throw out some ideas. I'll exchange Xuanyuan Grass, Black Giant Ape Spine, and First-grade Jin Cui Lizard Egg for items like Liefeng Fruit and Huyang Fruit that can increase your true essence and hone your true meaning."
