Immortality Martial Arts: Starting from the Sword Drawing Technique

Lin Bei squinted his eyes and looked at the other person's back, feeling a little hesitant.

However, when he saw that the other party stopped just a few hundred meters away, Lin Bei felt relieved.

At this distance, he was always within his line of sight, so it was impossible to lay any traps.

Since there was no trap, Lin Bei was naturally not afraid and followed directly.

As for the three members of the Li family, he left them where they were.

Their traps are quite helpful in dealing with strange beasts.

But without a trap, it is basically useless against a fierce warrior.

In other words, without the support of traps, if the enemy is too weak, they will not be able to take action; and if the enemy is too strong, they will not be able to intervene at all!

What's more, this guy who is suspected of being a predator has made it clear that he just wants to talk to Lin Bei alone.

If this is the case, then he will go to the meeting alone!

Anyway, there is also a person on the opposite side, who is afraid of whom!

Stopping three feet away from the masked man, Lin Bei looked at him and said directly: "Tell me, what are you doing with me?"

The masked man chuckled, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, flicked it, and threw it to Lin Bei.

Lin Bei reached out to take it, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils shrank instantly: "A crossbow?"

What was painted on it was the structural design of a crossbow!

"You want a custom-made crossbow?!"

Lin Bei's expression changed slightly and he asked aloud.

"Yes, I heard that you are the new signature forger of [Dali Blacksmith Shop]. Your casting talent is among the best in the world. I wonder if you can forge this crossbow?"

The masked man was very candid and looked directly into Lin Bei's eyes.

Lin Bei shook his head: "Making a crossbow is against the law!"

"As long as you and I keep our mouths shut, who can know? If you can forge it, I'm willing to pay you fifteen taels of silver! You can forge a cross for me!"

The masked man offered the price.

A frame costs fifteen taels of silver, and a cross is one hundred and fifty taels of silver!

Lin Bei stretched out a finger and shook it.

"What? You can't cast it?"

The masked man sounded disappointed.

Lin Bei shook his head again and said in a louder tone: "We have to pay more!"

Great observance of the law?

As long as the money is enough, Lin Bei said: "What the hell is that?"

Yes, the great ban on armor, bows and crossbows.

But this is the world of martial arts after all, which is very different from the previous life.

Although the law is strict, crossbow armor has been repeatedly banned, especially the collection and use of small batches. It is very common, but it cannot be put on the surface.

As long as it's not discovered, there won't be a problem!

Anyway, he couldn't carve his name on the crossbow he made.

The purpose of banning crossbow armor was essentially to consolidate the imperial rule.

Therefore, as long as there are not dozens or hundreds of items, the government will generally not bother to conduct a thorough investigation!

After all, if you want to attack the government with a crossbow, that is no different than committing suicide!

As for whether the other party will backstab him?

Oh, the crime of hiding a crossbow: both the buyer and the seller are equally guilty!

As long as the other party is not stupid, he will not stab you in the back.

Even if he was really stabbed in the back.

Lin Bei can also say again: "You said it was cast by me, so I cast it? Do you have any evidence?"

As long as he is not caught on the spot, no one can prove that he made the crossbow arrows!

This involves some risks, but Lin Bei is really short of money. He thinks he can try it. The risk is not big anyway, and it is no more dangerous than hunting exotic animals.

The key point is that you can agree to it now and buy a crossbow design drawing for free. This thing is definitely worth a lot of money.

As for whether to take this job or not, we’ll decide when the time comes!

Anyway, even if he puts on his pants and refuses to admit it, the other party can't do anything to him!

The masked man was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and quoted a price again: "Twenty taels!"

Lin Bei still shook his head: "It is a law that cannot be broken!"

The masked man narrowed his eyes: "Twenty-three taels of silver a piece, no more!"

"Thirty-five taels, one price!"

Lin Bei's tone was firm.

"Twenty-five taels, this is the highest price. I can't afford it no matter how high it is!"

"Thirty taels!"

"make a deal!"

In the end, the masked man was willing to commission customization for thirty-two pieces per piece.

For thirty taels of silver per rack, the demand is ten racks, which is equivalent to an order of three hundred taels of silver!

This price is definitely higher than the value of the crossbow itself, but considering that it is something prohibited by law, the price is very reasonable.

A big order of three hundred taels is worth taking some risks for Lin Bei!

"Except for ordinary iron ore, special materials need to be paid for by yourself."

Lin Bei once again threw a condition to the opponent.

This crossbow design drawing mentioned that this crossbow required some special ores to be mixed and forged, which Lin Bei simply could not obtain.

Even if he could get it, he wouldn't waste time doing it.

Anyway, he is only responsible for forging. He can also provide some general materials. As for special materials, don’t even think about it!

"It's natural."

The masked man had no intention of asking the other party to prepare scarce materials on his own, which would be easily exposed.

He has already prepared the special materials!

He took off a cowhide bag from his waist and threw it out.

This was a cowhide bag that looked like it was used to hold water. After Lin Bei took it, he felt his arm sink and realized that it was full of ore!

"I'm quite prepared..."

Lin Bei weighed it and found it was quite generous.

"This is the weight required to cast seven crossbows. Two months later, I want you to deliver five crossbows!"

"As for the remaining five, I will come back to you with the materials when the delivery time comes."

The masked man looked at Lin Beidao.

He knew that forging would also have a failure rate, so he prepared more materials in case the other party failed to create the quantity he requested.

The crossbow design drawing he gave is only slightly more difficult to make than an ordinary sword, but not as sophisticated as a sharp weapon, so the failure rate will not be too high.

Thinking about it, seven materials are enough!

Lin Bei tied the cowhide bag to his waist, looked at the masked man, and shook his head: "Deliver in three batches, once every month and a half! The first delivery of four crossbows!"

"Three batches of delivery?"

The masked man frowned slightly.

Three batches of delivery require three trips, and the risk of exposure is greater.

But it's still acceptable.

"No problem, then divide it into three batches!"

The masked man pondered for a moment and then agreed. He didn't ask why he asked for delivery in three batches. Maybe it was because of the difficulty in forging.

"readily!"

Lin Bei suddenly smiled, showing his white teeth, and said again: "Then please pay a deposit! The deposit is one-third, one hundred taels of silver!"

"One hundred taels of silver!?"

The masked man was obviously a little surprised. He shook his head violently: "Impossible, what if you don't deliver the goods to me after paying such a large deposit?"

"You can rest assured on this. I adhere to the business principle of credibility and will never default on goods. If you don't believe it, I swear to God!"

Lin Bei patted his chest and tried to persuade the other party to pay a deposit of one hundred taels.

However, the masked man was obviously not a gullible person and did not listen to his promise.

He shook his head: "One hundred taels is too much. To be honest, even if you ran away with the crossbow design, rare ore, and one hundred taels of silver, I would not be able to find you, and I would have to consider myself unlucky!" "

This is true. When it comes to transactions, the entrusting party is obviously much more passive than the entrusted party.

Even if Lin Bei ran away with the money, he could only scold his mother, but there was nothing he could do.
