Immortality Martial Arts: Starting from the Sword Drawing Technique

Looking at the fifty taels of silver in his hand, the masked man looked a little uncertain.

He took a long breath and looked at Lin Bei again: "Let's do this. I'll add five taels of silver to each of the remaining three crossbows. How about that?"

"It's not about money!"

Lin Bei shook his head, looked at the masked man, sneered, and said meaningfully: "I would rather earn less than one hundred taels of silver than lose my life!"

"What do you mean?"

The masked man raised his eyebrows, but still asked with his expression unchanged.

Lin Bei said expressionlessly: "I don't believe it. You haven't had the idea of ​​​​killing people to silence them after the deal is completed?"

"I made so much money from you, you can use the crossbow I made for you to get back the lost money from my corpse, right?"

He asked indifferently, but the masked man's face turned grim, and he secretly clenched his fists.

"This guy……"

There was a hint of murderous intent in the masked man's eyes, and he looked at Lin Bei warily.

Lin Bei's words exposed his plan!

Originally, he planned to wait for the transaction to be completed and use Lin Bei as the trading partner to test the quality of these crossbows!

By the way, kill someone and silence them, and get back the silver you handed over!

Only now, this plan has been discovered by the opponent in advance and exposed!

"What? Do you want to do something?"

Lin Bei glanced at him and said calmly: "If you think you can kill me, then you can give it a try!"

Hearing this, the masked man stared at him for a while, then slowly loosened his fist and said with a strange expression: "You are stronger!"

"You're not bad either. I know you're hiding someone secretly, but are you really sure you can keep me?"

Lin Bei stared at him with cold eyes, standing with his hands behind his back, looking confident.

He had long sensed that there was an ambush in the woods, and he must be an accomplice of the masked man.

But apart from the three crossbows in his hand, the masked man could only distribute four crossbows.

The four crossbows did not pose much of a threat to Lin Bei, but he noticed the presence of another warrior with good cultivation.

If there were two opponents like masked men and four crossbows, Lin Bei wouldn't have much confidence that he would be able to resolve the battle quickly.

Having said that, if the other party wants to keep him, it's just a fool's errand!

"It turns out that this is why you changed from two transactions to three transactions!"

Only then did the masked man suddenly realize.

When discussing the transaction, his request was that the crossbows be completed in two batches, five at a time.

Lin Bei, however, retorted directly and made three transactions, the first time with four aircraft, and the remaining two times with three aircraft each.

It turned out that the other party had already warned that he would kill him in the last transaction.

The masked man sighed: "That's all, seven crossbows are enough."

After saying that, he took a deep look at Lin Bei, slowly walked backwards, and slowly disappeared into the woods.

His original plan was to set a trap during the third transaction and invite you to fall into the trap.

After the transaction is completed and the crossbows are obtained, use these crossbows to surround and kill the opponent in one fell swoop!

But now, he was not prepared at all, and there was only one of his accomplices in the forest, whose purpose was just to respond.

As for the crossbowmen, there were none.

Lin Bei predicted his arrangement in advance and canceled the third transaction, catching him off guard.

He had no confidence that he could keep the other party, so he simply retreated with the crossbow and treated it as a normal transaction.

"Seven crossbows are enough. Let's meet up with our brothers first and recruit a group of low-level casual cultivators to make it bigger and stronger!"

The masked man thought to himself.

As for whether we should come back to regain our position after becoming bigger and stronger, that is another matter.

"Prudent enough..."

Looking at the masked man retreating into the woods, Lin Bei turned and left.

The deep woods are eerie in the dark night, like a sleeping giant beast, full of mystery and mystery.

This stopped Lin Bei from having any thoughts of pursuing him.

The other party chose to trade in this small forest and had already planned a route. There were accomplices hiding behind to support him. If he pursued them rashly, he might even fall into a trap.

If the other party came to kill him directly, he would be 70% to 80% sure of keeping him.

"Just treat it as a normal transaction. I've already made the money anyway."

Lin Bei didn't dwell on this.

The two parties to the transaction did not completely break up, and it can be regarded as a successful transaction.

Lin Bei had no intention of earning all the money for these ten crossbows from the beginning to the end. Seven bows and crossbows only had 210 taels of silver, which was enough!

…

On this day, Lin Bei went to blacksmith as usual.

However, I found that the [Dali Blacksmith Shop] was much colder, the atmosphere was gloomy, and the shouts were a bit weaker than usual.

Lin Bei walked to Huang Chang's casting furnace and asked, "What's going on today? Something big happened?"

Huang Chang glanced at him, then looked up at the innermost position, and found that Jiang Dali was not there, so he said, "Oh, something big has indeed happened, and it is related to our blacksmith shop!"

"What's the big deal?"

Lin Bei frowned and asked at the right time.

Huang Chang sighed and lowered his voice: "The backer of our [Dali Blacksmith Shop] has fallen!"

The backer has fallen? !

Lin Bei was surprised, "Does our blacksmith shop still have a backer?"

"You just came here not long ago, so I don't know how normal it is."

Huang Chang waved his hand and continued: "The backer of our [Dali Blacksmith Shop] is a military leader from a nearby county. He recently committed a crime and went in."

"Well, our business may have to be reduced by another 20% or 30%, and we will have to tighten our belts for a while."

Lin Bei was a little confused: "The military's backer has fallen. How come the orders were reduced by 20 to 30%?"

He didn't expect that [Dali Blacksmith Shop] actually had military backers.

Since there is such a backing, it stands to reason that most of the swords and weapons in the blacksmith shop should flow into the army.

Now that this batch of orders from the army is gone, [Dali Blacksmith Shop] should be severely weakened. Why is it missing 20% ​​to 30% of orders?

"You don't understand this."

Huang Chang showed a hint of pride in his expression and patted Lin Bei's shoulder: "Although you are a blacksmithing genius and have extraordinary talents in casting, your worldliness and market information are not as good as those of us old Jianghu."

"That's natural. Jianghu is not about fighting, but about human nature. I have to learn from you in this regard."

Lin Bei smiled and gave a few compliments.

Of course he knew that his title of genius was still somewhat envied by others.

There is no harm in lowering your posture sometimes, as long as you are not humble.

"The arena is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships..."

Huang Chang murmured to himself, repeated it, and then clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay! A good world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships!"

He looked at Lin Bei and was full of admiration: "You people with extraordinary talents have high understanding. I think I have barely touched this level of understanding in my thirties, but you casually said it!"

"No, no, I'm just hearing about it."

Lin Bei did not take credit, this was not his understanding in the first place.

"By the way, what's going on with the orders you mentioned were cut by 20% to 30%?"

Seeing that the topic had strayed, Lin Bei quickly pulled it back.
