I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely-Chapter 63 - 62: One Million Silver
Mo Yi Yun raised her slender hand, stopping her guard from speaking. Although her Cultivation was far inferior to the two guards beside her, she had felt a suppressive aura from Xu Qing the moment she stepped into the weapon shop.
It was a suppression stemming from a higher level of existence.
"..."
The two guards, both at the Peak of Pill Strength, fell silent.
However, they stuck even closer to her, their attention completely focused on Xu Qing. If Xu Qing made the slightest unusual move, they would strike simultaneously. One would hold him back while the other whisked Mo Yi Yun away to escape at top speed.
"Mr. Lv."
Mo Yi Yun smiled, her appearance captivating. Her gaze fell upon the Divine Weapon Xu Qing had brought. "I never imagined that after only about two months, you would bring another such stunning Divine Weapon. I am truly amazed."
"How much can you offer?"
But Xu Qing didn’t want to waste time with pleasantries.
"No need to rush."
Mo Yi Yun said, "Mr. Lv, may I ask the name of this Divine Weapon?"
"A name?"
Xu Qing frowned.
’To be honest, Xu Qing hadn’t really thought about a name. After all, it was just a Level 8 Iron Sword he’d gotten by casually swinging it around for a bit. It had upgraded so easily.’
"Armor-Piercing."
In the end, Xu Qing casually threw out a name.
"The Armor-Piercing Sword?"
Mo Yi Yun asked.
"That’s right."
Xu Qing nodded.
"Haaa..."
Mo Yi Yun took a deep breath, carefully examining the sword in her hands. She grew more and more shocked internally, but her stunningly beautiful face revealed nothing.
’A Grandmaster Blacksmith.’
’This must be the work of a Grandmaster Blacksmith.’
’The reason was simple.’
’Although she hadn’t mastered the art of forging, her eye for quality was extraordinary. After careful inspection, she could definitively tell that the material used for this Divine Weapon was the most common of all: Refined Iron.’
’One had to understand.’
’Refined Iron was the most common and ordinary of forging materials. No matter how superb the technique—even subjecting it to Ten Forgings, a Hundred Forgings, or a Thousand Forgings—it was nearly impossible to forge it into a true Divine Weapon.’
’Only someone who had reached the level of a Grandmaster Blacksmith, who had mastered the art of forging to its absolute extreme—and even surpassed it—could transform the mundane into the miraculous. Only they could subject ordinary Refined Iron to Ten Thousand Forges, inducing a qualitative change and metamorphosis, and then forge it into a true Divine Weapon.’
’And then, it could possess Armor-Piercing Thirty.’
’Unbelievable.’
’Simply unbelievable.’
’Originally, Mo Yi Yun had thought Lv Dongbin was merely backed by a Master Blacksmith. That was why she wanted to win him over and recruit that unknown Master Blacksmith into the Government Office’s faction.’
However, Mo Yi Yun never expected that the person behind Lv Dongbin was not just a Master Blacksmith, but a Grandmaster Blacksmith who had surpassed that level.
All of Qingbei Town didn’t have a single Grandmaster Blacksmith. Such individuals could only be found in the Prefecture City, where one might even find Forging Spirit Masters who surpassed even the Grandmasters.
"Haaa..."
Mo Yi Yun took another deep breath, trying her best to calm down, but she couldn’t suppress her excitement. "Mr. Lv, would I be so fortunate as to meet the Grandmaster who forged this Divine Weapon?"
"He doesn’t meet with people."
Xu Qing replied.
"This..."
Mo Yi Yun’s expression didn’t change. "Mr. Lv, could you perhaps make an introduction?"
"..."
Xu Qing shook his head. He reached out, took the Level 8 Iron Sword back from Mo Yi Yun’s hands, and stood up, preparing to leave.
He didn’t want to waste any more time here.
’The Level 8 Iron Sword was indeed a Divine Weapon. In a place like Qingbei Town, it was a rare Treasure Sword. He could sell it for a high price anywhere else.’
"One million!"
Suddenly, just as Xu Qing was getting up, Mo Yi Yun shouted a number, directly offering a price of one million silver.
"..."
Involuntarily, Xu Qing stopped in his tracks.
’One million!’
’That was one million!’
"Are you sure?"
Xu Qing asked.
"I’m sure."
Mo Yi Yun nodded.
In fact, there were only three Master Blacksmiths in all of Qingbei Town. With their skills, they could only forge such a Divine Weapon by using incredibly precious materials.
Naturally, the price would be very high.
However, it wouldn’t reach as high as one million.
But, it would still be worth at least one hundred thousand to three hundred thousand.
In other words, Mo Yi Yun had offered an extremely high price—a price Xu Qing couldn’t refuse.
"Alright."
Xu Qing nodded in agreement.
"However."
Mo Yi Yun fell silent for a moment before making a request. "I hope that from this day forward, any weapons forged by the esteemed Grandmaster Blacksmith will be purchased and sold exclusively by us."
"Of course."
"This is limited to Qingbei Town."
"Furthermore."
"We will certainly offer a price that will satisfy the esteemed Grandmaster Blacksmith."
"You want exclusive selling rights in Qingbei Town?"
Xu Qing asked.
"Exclusive selling rights?"
Mo Yi Yun was taken aback. She didn’t understand the phrase at first, but after a moment of thought, she nodded. "Yes, that’s a good way to describe it."
"Fine."
Xu Qing smiled. "I agree."
’In truth, it was all the same to Xu Qing who he sold these weapons to. His goal was to make money to buy enough Cultivation Resources.’
’Besides, there was no Grandmaster Blacksmith. It was all just Mo Yi Yun’s wild guess, and Xu Qing certainly wasn’t going to expose the truth.’
’Moreover, with his Encyclopedia of All Things, Xu Qing far surpassed any so-called Grandmaster Blacksmith.’
Next, the two parties proceeded with the transaction. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Soon, the deal was done.
Xu Qing received one million in silver notes. There were ten notes in total, each edged with what looked like gold foil. Each note had a denomination of one hundred thousand and could be exchanged for cash at any Great Zhou Money Shop.
"Mr. Lv."
At this point, Mo Yi Yun also stood up. She took out two exquisitely made Invitation Letters from her robes. "These are Invitation Letters for the Inner City Auction, which will be held in a month."
"I would be delighted if both you and the esteemed Grandmaster Blacksmith could attend. The Inner City Auction will feature many rare and special items. Perhaps you’ll find something you need or like."
"Alright."
Xu Qing pondered for a moment before accepting the Invitation Letters from Mo Yi Yun and putting them away. "I’ll go if I have time."
"As for whether the esteemed Grandmaster Blacksmith will attend, that remains to be seen."
"Understood."
Mo Yi Yun nodded.
"Let us reintroduce ourselves."
Mo Yi Yun continued, "I am Mo Yi Yun. My father is Mo Wuming, the County Magistrate of Qingbei Town. Under his protection, I established the Cloud Mist Trading Company here."
"..."
Xu Qing couldn’t help but be stunned. He truly hadn’t expected that the Mo Yi Yun standing before him was the daughter of the Qingbei Town County Magistrate. This was quite a shock.
"Forgive my earlier disrespect!"
Xu Qing clasped his hands in a salute.
"Don’t forget to come to the auction, Mr. Lv."
Mo Yi Yun gave a charming smile.
After that, Xu Qing left the weapon shop with a million in silver notes in his robes. Mo Yi Yun watched him go, her gaze falling back upon the Level 8 Iron Sword.
"For the average Martial Artist, a Divine Weapon forged from Refined Iron is indeed inferior to one made from precious materials, because the latter is far more powerful."
Mo Yi Yun murmured softly, "However, a Divine Weapon like this, forged from mere Refined Iron... this sword embodies the pinnacle of forging technique. For those blacksmiths dedicated to studying the craft, it is a priceless treasure that cannot be measured in money."
"Because,"
"if they can fully comprehend the techniques contained within this sword, they might be able to advance their own forging skills, and even have a greater hope of becoming a Grandmaster Blacksmith."
"I was struggling to find a final, show-stopping item for the auction. I never thought Mr. Lv would deliver such a Treasure Sword right to me. It’s solved my most pressing problem."
"Just a million silver."
"For me, it’s more than worth it!"
「The scene changed.」
Inside the Black Tiger Spiritual Food Store.
This time, with a million in silver notes, Xu Qing was feeling flush. After walking into the store, he called for Black Tiger, the owner. He wanted to buy Level 3 Spiritual Food.
"Are you sure, sir?"
Black Tiger asked.
"I’m sure."
Xu Qing nodded. He took out a silver note for one hundred thousand and handed it to Black Tiger, saying, "I’ll take one hundred thousand silver’s worth of Level 3 Spiritual Food."
"Right away."
Black Tiger was slightly excited. He quickly said, "Please wait a moment, sir."
As soon as he finished speaking, Black Tiger went to the warehouse to get the Level 3 Spiritual Food.
In the blink of an eye, Black Tiger returned carrying a Jade Box. He placed the Jade Box in front of Xu Qing and opened it.
WHOOSH!
Xu Qing smelled a fresh, fragrant scent. Just a single whiff of the aroma made the flow of his Qi and Blood quicken, and he couldn’t help but swallow. It was incredibly enticing.
"Honored customer, please take a look."
Black Tiger gestured. "This is our Black Tiger Spiritual Food Store’s exclusive product: Level 3 Spirit Food: White Jade Tiger Meat. Each strip of White Jade Tiger Meat is ten centimeters long and one centimeter wide. They look like strips of white jade, translucent and sparkling. It’s a fantastic bargain—only three thousand silver per jin."
"You’re buying one hundred thousand silver’s worth. At three thousand per jin, that would normally get you thirty-three jin. But I can make an exception and give you thirty-four jin of White Jade Tiger Meat."
"Mm."
Xu Qing nodded. He could confirm that there was nothing wrong with this Level 3 Spirit Food: White Jade Tiger Meat. After both parties confirmed everything, they completed the transaction.
Soon, the transaction was complete.
Xu Qing left, carrying the Jade Box containing thirty-three jin of White Jade Tiger Meat.
This time, Xu Qing was not ambushed by anyone.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing had returned to his residence.
RUSTLE RUSTLE...
Xu Qing heard a sound.
It was a nine-meter-long Cabbage Flower Snake, which appeared, slowly slithering out from the shadows of the courtyard. It was no longer a simple Cabbage Flower Snake, but a python that had surpassed ordinary beasts.
[Cabbage Flower Snake Level 4: 60/80 (Originally an ordinary Cabbage Flower Snake, it has undergone three transformations. Its body length has reached nine meters, and it has condensed Demon Qi, stepping into the realm of Demonic Beasts.)]
