Chapter 78: Xuan Bao past.1

“I’ll go get it, you can take a look first. ” Tang Wen said as he returned to his room and brought over a foot – tall mirror. Of course, this kind of mirror had a base, and it was even plated with 24k gold, looking high – end and elegant. “The small mirror is suitable for carrying around. It’s also fine if you have a Void Bag.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “It’s so clear. I think I ran in. ” Tang hanyun looked at herself in the mirror and even tidied her hair. She was very happy. “Mother, look, I’ll squeeze my eyes and squeeze my inner eyes.” Li Qin giggled as she played with the mirror. “No sword li, just give me whatever you want.” Tang Wen said. “I’d like to have two bottles of your champagne too. I’m going to be a guest tomorrow. It’s an old friend. This is a small gift for you, Master Tang.” Li Guangqi glanced at the housekeeper, Zhu Yun. Zhu Yun nodded and placed a small bag of spirit stones on the table. “Then it would be impolite of me to refuse.” Tang Wen laughed and took a glance. There should be about ten of them. “Master, I want one of your small round mirrors too. Here’s a spirit stone.” “Master, I want a bottle of champagne. This is a spirit stone.” …… Soon, there was a pile of them on the table. “Butler Zhu, I’ll have to trouble you to calculate the numbers. Everyone can come to my room to collect them later.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Alright, alright.” Zhu Yun nodded and took out a pen and paper to count the amount. The Li family of the swordless li was a wealthy family, and they were much richer than Wu Zi’s family. The clansmen would receive a little more spiritual stones for cultivation every month. After the meal, everyone came to collect their things, and Zhu Yun helped to count and distribute them. “Grandmaster Tang, please check it. There’s a total of fifty – eight pills and three thousand gold taels.” “There’s no need. Do you think I don’t trust you, steward Zhu?” Tang Wen smiled, took out a small round mirror, and gave it to the Butlers.”Take it, give it to your children to play with.” “This is too expensive. I can’t accept it.” The stewards said, but their eyes were fixed on the small round mirror. “I still have some mirror lipsticks. If anyone wants them, help me ask around.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Okay, okay, I will.” Butler Zhu nodded happily, and the small round mirror was put into his pocket. The effect was really good. On the third day, the steward brought more than a dozen beautiful women. These women were all women from prestigious families in Xuanwu city. Naturally, they all had some goods in their pockets. After a while, Tang Wen earned hundreds of spiritual stones. In the afternoon, Tang Wen called the Butlers and went straight to the Xuan Bao Pavilion with the spirit stones. He was going to buy a Void Bag, not for himself, but for his family. The Xuan Bao Pavilion was tall and had a total of three levels. The hall on the first floor was basically filled with antiques, jades, and other treasures that ordinary people liked. The second floor was for weapons used by martial artists. Tang Wen walked around and found that the level of the weapons made by the blacksmiths in Xuanwu city was similar to that of modern technology. Of course, it was much better than Chu State. However, Tang Wen realized that the swords here were not cheap. A low – grade sword cost 30 taels of gold, which was 300000 gold according to the exchange rate of the Great Eastern Republic. If modern swords were sold here, the difference could be about 20 times. The price of a mid – grade sword was as high as 50 to 60 taels of gold. For example, the knife factory in song Qingyang of the Great Eastern Republic could forge mid – grade swords. Each one was only about tens of thousands of Yuan, and if they were to be sold here, the price difference would be 30 times. Although it could also be sold at this price in Chu, the overall purchasing power of Chu was less than four to five hundred of the price here. It was because Tang Wen found that the martial artists here were richer than the people of the great Chu State. He estimated that the gold ore reserves here were also tens or hundreds of times more than the great Chu State. Tang Wen also found that although the martial arts here were more advanced than the great Chu country, the people here didn’t seem to have seen the falling fire. Of course, the crude fire meteors of Chu State were not of much use against the experts here. However, there were still opportunities to make money. Although powerful martial artists were not afraid of fire, the vast majority of people living in the Black Tortoise region were still ordinary people. Many of the children of large families were ignorant and incompetent, and their skills were not high. However, many more people could not cultivate their martial arts to a high level due to physical reasons. If he could get his hands on the firearms here, he was sure that they would like this kind of weapon that did not require any hard work to obtain a greater killing power. After all, even rank -1 and 2 martial artists would be killed by the falling fire if they were caught off guard within a short distance. If it was a Supreme – grade or Xiantian – Level martial artist, if you fired a few shots at him, you could at least beat him half to death. “Steward Zhu, a low – grade sword costs thirty taels, and a mid – grade sword costs fifty to sixty taels. Why is it that a high – grade sword costs ten or even fifty spirit stones? The difference in price is too obvious. It’s dozens of times more. ” Tang Wen stopped in front of a sword that was marked as an upper grade sword. “It’s very difficult to make upper grade swords. Out of a hundred swords, only ten or so have the qualifications to become upper grade swords. The rest are all scrap iron. Furthermore, it would require more time and manpower. Therefore, the weapon refiners would rather refine lower or middle grade swords than high – grade swords. As a result, the number was naturally small. Of course, one of the reasons was that the materials required for upper grade swords were relatively rare. Of course, there’s another reason. Only the rich among the Warriors can afford a high – grade sword. Ordinary people can’t afford it. ” Zhu Yun said. “Young master, how can a low grade or middle grade sword compare to a high grade sword? What’s a top grade?” Cutting iron like grass was considered top grade. ‘Slicing through iron like mud’ was considered a superior grade. As for Supreme grade swords, they were all legendary divine swords. In addition, when one’s cultivation reached the second stage or above, one must use an upper grade sword. That’s because a mid – grade sword can’t withstand the power of your internal gluttony. Once you use your neidan, your sword will be the first to break. How can you kill your enemy? When one’s cultivation reached the level of telepathy and spirit concentration, even an upper grade sword would not be able to withstand one’s powerful and terrifying true Qi. At that time, you’ll have to use superior – grade swords, and those with divine sense will definitely use extreme – grade swords. ” At this time, a young shop assistant standing beside the sword said. “You don’t seem to have any superior – grade swords here?” Tang Wen said casually. “Of course, but does young master want it?” The shop assistant looked at Tang Wen with a hint of sarcasm. “Don’t be rude. Master Tang is an honored guest of the swordless li mansion. He was the one who cured the young lady’s illness.” Zhu Yun scolded with a stern face. “MA ... No, Tang ... Master Tang, I’m sorry, I’ve been impolite.” The waiter was so scared that he quickly bowed. “It’s fine,” Tang Wen waved his hand and said,”an excellent – grade sword can cut through iron like mud. Can you show me?” “I’ll have to ask manager Qi about this,” The young man said. “Go and call Manager Qi over.” The steward said. Not long after, a rather old and heavy middle – aged man with a high horn came over. The man was dressed in a luxurious heavenly silk robe and wore a Minister’s hat. One look and one could tell that he was a person with an imposing aura. “It’s housekeeper Zhu. ” Manager Qi immediately greeted the stewards when he saw them. “Manager Qi, this is Master Tang, an honored guest invited by Master Li. He was a Divine Doctor, and Miss Lee Yue was sick. Even medicine master Zeng Huaigu couldn’t do anything about it. It was Master Tang who cured miss. ” The stewards introduced enthusiastically. “I’m Qi ran, the manager of the Xuan Bao Pavilion. ” Manager Qi cupped his hands and said indifferently. “I’m sorry, I’m from a small place and haven’t seen a superior – grade sword yet, so I want to see it. ” Tang Wen cupped his hands and replied. “Upstairs please.” Qi ran extended his hand and said. Thus, the two of them went up to the third floor. Tang Wen only glanced at it a few times and secretly cursed in his heart.
