Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 18
While the old man was helping Li Qing pack the jade, Li Qing suddenly focused his attention on one of the jade slips.

"Old man, what is this?" Li Qing pointed at the jade slip, which was about the size of two fingers put together, and asked.

The old man just looked up, shook his head and said: "The things left by our ancestors should be jade amulets for protection or the like."

He wasn't quite sure, after all, these things had been passed down for so long, and they were separated from him by countless generations.

If it weren't for the lack of food, he would never have sold it for rye mushrooms.

Li Qing took the jade slip in his hand. He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. There seemed to be faint lines on it.

The jade slips are smooth in color and very warm after being purchased. No matter where in the world it is placed, it can definitely be regarded as the best jade.

As his father-in-law finished packing the jade stones, Li Qing also took more than three kilograms of rye mushrooms from his cloth basket and gave them to the old man running the stall.

After the transaction was completed, Li Qing continued to wander around the city.

In the polar night world, he was familiar with many things, except for a few of the specialties that grew here, which he could not recognize.

For example, the shape of the fungus looks very much like a piece of meat. The hyphae on it are mixed together, and the white flowers look like fatty meat!
The name is quite appropriate, it's called white mushroom, and its value is much higher than that of rye mushroom. Three pounds of rye mushroom can be exchanged for one pound of white mushroom.

Of course, Li Qing has no interest in the food of these fungi.

This time he came to Obsidian City's market, intending to exchange the rye mushrooms in his hands for some refined iron, and to see if there were any other special ores.

Ever since he learned the Ancient Mystic Hammer Skill, he had an urgent need for a handy hammer.

The hammers used for blacksmithing now were used when I was a blacksmith's apprentice and were specially used for making iron.

If it is used for fighting, then the blacksmith's hammer will definitely not work, and a new one must be cast.

Thinking of this, Li Qing touched a piece of cold metal that was as textured as jet jade hidden deep in his arms.

It was the school officer Li Gui who had previously given Li Qing the task of smelting the ink gold into the mountain axe!

Because of the sudden attack by horse thieves, Li Qing, who was in the camp at the time, would definitely not be able to complete the forging of the mountain axe.

But he was extremely surprised to find that the piece of ink gold he threw into the forge had not yet melted.

You must know that that is the area with the highest temperature. The color around it is so red that even the hardest metal should melt.

And this piece of ink gold is still intact.

So before he fled to the grain depot, he didn't forget to take this piece of black gold with him.

After taking it in his hands, he also discovered that after such a long period of high-temperature smelting, the piece of ink gold not only showed no sign of melting, but even the surface temperature only increased a part, from being cold and moist before to becoming slightly hot to the touch.

"Horse thieves attacked the military camp. Colonel Li's piece of black gold is an advantage for me, but considering everyone's surname is Li, Colonel Li probably won't mind too much." '

Thinking of this, Li Qing's mood inevitably became happier.

He planned to buy some high-quality refined iron, and then continue to try to see if he could smelt the piece of black gold. If he could, he planned to use the piece of black gold as the hammer head to make a warhammer of high quality.

After walking around the city twice, Li Qing quickly found a blacksmith shop.

There was no tinkling sound inside, and the surrounding temperature wasn't as hot as expected. It didn't look like a normal blacksmith shop at all.

When Li Qing walked in, a young man who looked like an apprentice sat next to the gray anvil and said feebly: "Sir, what do you want to pack? Weapons or farm tools?"

Hearing this, Li Qing's mind moved.

Just taking this opportunity to inquire about the current blacksmithing situation in Obsidian City, he asked: "How many cutting knives do I want to make? How should I calculate this?" As soon as he said this, the apprentice's eyes lit up, and he forced He stood up and said, "If you bring your own iron ingots, two cutting knives count as half a pound of rye mushrooms!"

"If I provide the materials, a cutting knife and half a catty of rye mushrooms, if you want a large quantity, we can discuss it again!"

really
When the Yan family asked them to forge cutting knives themselves, they really got a lower price. Before, I helped them forge cutting knives, and only gave half a pound of rye mushrooms for three of them!

However, this blacksmith shop is located in the city after all, so it is normal for it to be a little expensive.

"Ahem, I came here to buy some refined iron. How do you sell this refined iron?" Li Qing coughed and asked.

"One pound of rye mushrooms and twenty pounds of iron ingots. How many do you want?" The apprentice in the blacksmith shop suddenly lost interest.

However, Li Qing's next words made his eyes widen.

"Then give me three hundred catties!" Li Qing said solemnly.

"What? Three. Three hundred pounds?"

"Well, is there a problem?" Li Qing observed the man's expression carefully and said with a smile.

"No, of course not. I'll go look for you!" The man's steps suddenly became numb.

Buying three hundred kilograms of iron ingots in one go is equivalent to the business of fifteen kilograms of rye mushrooms. This is not a small sum.

For his blacksmith shop, which has not been open for a long time and is almost starving to death, that is so important!
There are actually many mines around Obsidian City. If you want to obtain iron ore, you can mine it outside the city and then smelt it into iron ingots.

The few blacksmith shops in the city do this. According to the current laws, no one will control these. If you dig it, it is yours.

Unlike Maple Country, the control over salt and iron is very strict and will not allow the sale of private salt or the outflow of iron tools, so that the price of iron has always remained high.

After a long time, the blacksmith apprentice finally walked out of the warehouse at the back, looking disgraced.

"Sir, the inventory is over. I still have more than 300 kilograms of iron ingots. I'll give you a total of fifteen kilograms of rye mushrooms!" He rubbed his hands and stared at Li Qing closely, for fear that he was here to amuse himself. of.

boom!
Li Qing threw down the basket on his back. There were about fifteen or six kilograms of rye mushrooms in it, all of which were inside.

The blacksmith's apprentice's eyes widened when he saw it. He swallowed and said, "I'll pretend it for you right now!"

Soon, the three hundred kilograms of iron ingots were all put into a stronger and larger basket. The blacksmith apprentice pushed the basket into the shop with difficulty.

"Huh! Sir, do you want me to help you take it back together?"

However, Li Qing shook his head and rejected his kindness.

"No need, I can just carry it myself."

After speaking, Li Qing squatted down and directly carried the iron ingot carrying more than 300 kilograms on his back, looking very calm.

After feeling the weight and his own endurance limit, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not bad, I can barely bear it, it's not very strenuous, just treat it as a way to exercise my body.

Li Qing is very satisfied with his current physical strength. He can still walk steadily on the road with more than 300 kilograms of iron ingots on his back. This was something he would never have dared to imagine before.

Under the horrified gaze of the blacksmith apprentice, Li Qing walked out of the blacksmith shop and prepared to leave Fangshi.
