Raising Silkworms and Refining Gu from Mount Hundred Thousand

"Yes, Master." Seeing Wei Sheng appear just now, Zhou Qing bowed respectfully.

"It turns out it's Martial Master Wei. I've met Martial Master Wei." The young man lost the momentum he had when facing the apprentice, and his confidence was suddenly drained.

Wei Sheng ignored the young officer, but put his hands behind his back and looked at the middle-aged man aside.

"I didn't expect that the Zhao family's incident would even alert Mr. Su."

"Su Ting has met Senior Wei." The middle-aged man bowed respectfully and kept his posture very low.

As a martial artist in the Bone Refining Realm and the strongest person in the Black Mountain Town Yamen, he always speaks his mind and acts decisively and domineeringly.

But facing Wei Sheng, he was still a lot shorter.

"Your words are serious." Zhao Sheng's smile did not change.

"Master Su, is this the end of the questioning at Baiyun Martial Arts School?"

After confirming that nothing happened, he set out for the county seat early in the morning.

I asked a few passers-by on the way and soon found Qibingpu.

Zhao Sheng said with a smile.

"It's true that I worried too much, please forgive me, Manager Zhao." Zhou Qing said angrily.

The shopkeeper picked up the scales and inspected them. After a while, he called for the assistant.

If the distinguished customer can meet the needs of the third shopkeeper of Qibingpu, he should be able to buy satisfactory weapons at a lower price. "

Zhao Lie is not the only one who has the golden bean, but now that the limelight is tight, it is better to be more stable.

"The world is getting more and more chaotic." Su Ting looked sadly, looking in the direction of Black Wind Mountain from a distance.

"I have a good place to recommend to distinguished guests. There is a 'Qi Weapon Shop' in Anhuafang in the east of the outer city. The third shopkeeper of that shop is collecting the flesh, blood and scales of exotic beasts.

swish

Su Ting flipped through it quickly. In addition to keeping accounts, there were also some essays about the day's gains and martial arts training experiences.

Zhou Qing collected the banknotes and left Zhao's Commercial Bank.

"The iron sword is three feet and three inches long. It is made of iron mixed with black iron and fine iron. It weighs four kilograms and two taels. Four hundred taels of silver."

He presented the two hundred and forty taels of silver notes with a smile on his face.

"In that case, then I will go to this strange weapon shop to take a look and say goodbye."

"The old lady of the Zhao family has offered a reward of one thousand taels of silver, is that all?" The young officer said with a look of reluctance.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, please forgive me, Senior Wei." After the inquiry, Su Ting clasped his fists and left.

"Well, that day I shot a snowshoe hare and two pheasants in the mountains, and brought them to Baiweilou and sold them for 620 Wen. You can see what's written in my account book."

"I want to buy a sharper knife." Zhou Qing lowered his voice.

Zhou Qing did not say that it was Zhao Sheng who introduced him, he just said that he needed a sharp knife, preferably one that is easier to break armor.

"Please." Zhou Qing handed over the pamphlet.

"Yeah." Wei Sheng responded lightly.

If you are dealing with strange beasts with powerful scales, I recommend the Bingjin Knife. However, the blade of this knife is a bit brittle, so you have to be careful of heavy blows coming from the side.

As for the iron knife, it has both, but it cannot withstand the infusion of true energy for a long time and is prone to cracks. "

"Just a matter of routine, we'll ask a few questions and then leave."

After Su Ting's eyes changed slightly, he returned the booklet to Zhou Qing.

"You won't leak my information, right?" Zhou Qing's heart moved and he asked.

Zhao Lie's 'disappearance' is still under investigation, but it has nothing to do with Zhou Qing.

There were no knives for sale in the auction today, only a sword of good quality.

"If the murderer is really a disciple of a great martial artist from the six major martial arts schools, how would you feel about it?" Su Ting stopped.

For literati, writing essays is a normal habit.

"It seems that your distinguished guest wants to buy weapons? Haven't you found anything you like today?" Zhao Sheng asked tentatively.

In less than ten breaths, a burst of footsteps sounded from the side door.

Now when he heard the title of master and disciple during the conversation, he immediately changed his mind.

As the last lot, the Purple Gold Hammer, was sold for 2,800 taels of silver, the auction ended.

Especially when a noble man like Zhao Lie goes missing, more manpower needs to be deployed to investigate.

Su Ting turned around and left the martial arts gym.

Before anyone arrived, a strange aroma of wine wafted over first.

‘I can only afford the iron sword, and I can also buy the ice sword with gritted teeth, but I have to use the golden beans obtained from Zhao Lie.’ Zhou Qing pondered in his heart.

Just to be on the safe side, he stayed in the town for another seven or eight days.

"The Ice Strength Sword is two feet and seven inches long. It is made of black iron and fine iron, mixed with a small amount of the essence and blood of the alien beast 'Ice Armored Crab'. It can withstand the infusion of true energy. It weighs three kilograms and five taels. Six hundred and five Ten taels of silver."

After a while, shopkeeper Xu of the Qibing Shop asked his clerk to go into the warehouse and find three knives.

"Quickly go to the backyard and ask the third shopkeeper to come and ask him to bring the 'Demon Slaying Sword'!"

"Brother Zhou, where were you on the morning of twenty-one years ago?" Su Ting asked politely.

"Farewell."

"Of course it is. Yes." The young guard's voice weakened.

I am just acting as a middleman. If your distinguished guest has no such idea, I will never reveal your identity. "Zhao Sheng laughed apologetically.

"I heard that the third shopkeeper of your store is collecting the essence, blood and scales of alien beasts. Is it true?" Zhou Qing took out a giant python scale from his arms.

"In most cases, apart from reeling silk, I should spend the morning picking mulberries on the mountain. Mr. Su, wait a moment, I'll take a look."

Later, he asked several other apprentices on the spot.

I originally thought that Zhou Qing, like ordinary apprentices in other martial arts schools, would be called to the Yamen for a scare as usual to see if he could ask anything.

"It doesn't matter." Wei Sheng smiled lightly.

"Otherwise?" Su Ting said calmly.

Thump thump thump.

How can one arrest a great martial artist's direct disciple unless there are both witnesses and physical evidence?

And after using up the golden beans, he would have no money to buy medicinal materials.

After staying in the county for five days, I attended the auction that afternoon.

With that said, Zhou Qing took out a pamphlet from his arms and started reading it.

On their way to the next martial arts school, the young guard couldn't help but ask.

"Can you let me have a look?" Su Ting's eyes flashed.

Recently, with the exception of the county seat, there have been more and more cases of missing persons in various towns, and the manpower of the yamen has been completely exhausted.

Zhou Qing walked out of the auction hall on the sixth floor angrily and returned to the counter on the fourth floor. Under the guidance of the waiter, he entered the box to rest.

After a while, a middle-aged man with an elegant face walked into the box. It was Zhao Sheng, the auction manager.

“How dare you, how dare you, our Zhao’s Trading Company will never do such things like destroying signs when doing business.

"Twenty-one days ago in the morning." Zhou Qing recalled with eyebrows raised and paused.

"Um?"

This strange weapon shop is much larger than the weapons shops in the town. Standing at the counter in the front hall, Zhou Qing could only vaguely hear the sound of blacksmithing coming from the backyard.

The inner armor and boxing gloves that Zhou Qing sold this time were inlaid with python scales, so he sold seventy taels of silver more than last time.

He originally planned to auction it off and use it instead of the knife. Unexpectedly, a wealthy man took a fancy to the item. The bid was too high, so he gave up.

It's not like he's being unreasonable. He slaps him twenty times before asking questions.

"The Green Rainbow Sword is worth nine hundred taels of silver!"

Shopkeeper Xu patiently introduced Zhou Qing, but saw that he was deep in thought and did not urge him.

"If these three swords are to be fought against a warrior, the Qinghong Sword will naturally be the best.

Zhou Qing just smelled it and felt hot all over his body, and his energy and blood surged.

"This is."
