"Baobing House?"
Zong Shou remembered that this Taishang family that specialized in weapons was really famous in the future. They pretty much monopolized close to twenty percent of the weapon and armor trade in the Cloud World. They even expanded to other worlds, even those Spirit Realm worlds.
They were famous for their high prices and high quality. All high grade martial artists would choose this Baobing House when they searched for weapons.
Coincidentally, at this moment, he also wanted to find some suitable defensive weapons for himself in this Twisted Gathering. He only hesitated for a moment before walking in with large strides.
The shopkeeper here was around thirty years old. Just like how Zong Shou remembered, the shopkeepers of Baobing House all over the place were all smiles. They looked gentle and humble, calm and honest, and also had the craftiness of a businessman. Just one look and he could tell that the two of them weren't ordinary and that they weren't from a normal rich family. He personally went up to welcome them.
Zong Shou didn't care at all, roughly sizing up the place. The weapons here were all high quality products that were forged thousands of times. Normal martial artists wouldn't be able to get their hands on them.
Then, his eyes turned to the corner where the various projectile weapons were placed. After looking around, he shook his head inwardly. Those talisman weapons weren't common in this era.
He didn't feel disappointed, turning to the shopkeeper and asking, "Can we customize weapons here?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled when he heard that, "As long as the requirements aren't too high, no matter what weapon it is, as long as it is a branch of our Baobing House, we can customize it! Does young master have a weapon blueprint? Or you can describe it … "
Zong Shou didn't reply, directly walking to the side of the counter. He took out two pieces of yellow paper and started to draw.
In just a moment, a lancet knife and a long needle were drawn on the paper. The shape was normal and there was nothing special about it. However, there were some unknown lines carved on it, making it look beautiful.
Chu Xue looked on curiously but couldn't see anything. In the end, she said, "Young master's drawing is really good, much better than before. Does Linhai College also teach drawing? "
Hearing this, Zong Shou smiled and threw down the weasel hair brush in his hand. His expression turned cold. "The blade must be two inches long and as thin as a cicada's wing. It was refined from steel and mixed with three grams of blood copper. I want three hundred of these blades! The same material was needed for the needles. They are divided into four sizes: two inches, one inch, three fen, one inch, and half an inch. Each size requires a hundred. How long will it take to make all of this? "
Numerous deep wrinkles appeared on the shopkeeper's forehead. After pondering for a while, he said with a bitter smile, "Although the things that Young Master drew are small, they are extremely exquisite. Especially these lines, they should be seal soldiers, right? Although our branch store can build it, we can't build it. But we don't have enough people. It will take at least ten days to get all the runes right. "
Zong Shou had already expected that it would only take ten days, which was far beyond his expectations. However, he didn't have that much time to wait.
"Ordinary blacksmiths naturally can't. But as far as I know, there are spirit blacksmiths in every branch of Baobingzhai? I need to get all these items within an hour! "
The shopkeeper looked at Zong Shou with a weird expression. Then, he nodded his head slightly. "There are indeed three of them in my shop. However, the price to hire a spirit blacksmith to craft these weapons isn't cheap. Three hundred willow leaf talisman knives, four hundred steel talisman needles, the materials and labor would only cost seven thousand silver. However, for a talisman master to craft it would cost at least one hundred and fifty thousand silver … "
Zong Shou scoffed coldly, turning around and looking at Chu Xue. Anyways, he had no money on him, so he could only ask his maidservant for help.
Since he could sit in the carriage and use sixteen Cloud Stepping Foals, he should be able to easily take out such a small amount of silver.
The latter didn't disappoint him, casually taking out a silk bag. Inside, more than three hundred crystals of various colors were swaying, producing pleasant tinkling sounds. Then, she took out two fire-red crystals and placed them on the counter.
This caused the shopkeeper's eyes to light up. "Grade Three fire tiger crystals can be worth one hundred thousand silver. Young master, please wait a moment. Three hundred talisman knives, four hundred talisman needles, you will only need half a cup of tea to get them. "
After saying that, he turned around and left. Zong Shou was at a loss. He had some such crystals himself, they were all Grade Two and Three beast crystals which he hid in the bag he carried with him.
However, one Grade Three fire tiger crystal was worth one hundred thousand silver. What kind of joke was that?
A moment later, he comprehended something. At this time, the spiritual energy was really thin, so such beast crystals were probably really rare. The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. Naturally, it was more valuable than in the future.
His family was probably not only really rich, but they were also really strong.
He had already ordered the flying knives and needles. What he lacked was a sword. Although the steel sword he carried with him was sharp, it was still a little lacking.
However, this sword didn't need to be custom-made. This Baibing House had many talisman swords which were placed at the front as the treasure of the shop. Moreover, they were all carefully crafted.
Standing in front of the weapon rack, Zong Shou hesitated for a long while before taking out a shining Pine Pattern Wind Sword.
Out of the few talisman swords, this one wasn't outstanding. However, the wind could increase one's speed and defend one's body. It was really light and didn't use up too much stamina, which was what he needed.
He casually waved it around, barely managing to use it.
Chu Xue's brows were furrowed as she said hesitantly, "Young master, these talisman swords don't have true qi and Spiritual Sense and are hard to use. Why don't you use normal weapons … "
Zong Shou didn't reply, silently directing the energy in his energy ocean into the body of the Pine Pattern Wind Sword. Just as the talisman was about to be activated. Chu Xue suddenly turned around, her upper body slightly bent down, her eyes filled with killing intent as she looked warily at the door.
At the same time, a laugh spread out in Zong Shou's ear, "It really is a small world. Who knew that I would meet cousin in such a remote place like Twisted Gathering. Didn't Brother Shou learn that spell in Linhai College? Why did you come here? "
At the entrance of the shop, an elegant teen was smiling as he walked in. He was also extremely handsome, his words and demeanor made one feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze.
Zong Shou's body instinctively shrank back. He instinctively felt fear towards this guy, and also a bit of hatred. In the next moment, his eyes constricted, knowing that it was the remaining instinct of his body.
In this era, apart from those few people who were above the masses, he was confident that he could deal with those Ascended Realm experts who didn't appear in the world. What ability did this person have to make him fear him?
He directly swept past him and threw himself behind him. Behind this person, there were two valiant men who followed closely. They were expressionless, their auras were deathly still, like the shadows of the teen.
However, in his eyes, these two people were like swords hidden in cloth, unable to hide their sharpness and extremely dangerous.
Be it this teen or the two servants behind him, they all had great strength. Compared to Chu Xue, they weren't any weaker.
However, he didn't recognize the three of them. There were only a few fragments in the mind of the one who called him cousin. He could only turn around and act like he was at a loss.
That teen was really cooperative, looking at Zong Shou and smiling, "You stayed in the college for three years and don't recognize me. When we were young, you often called me Brother Yu, do you remember? "
Only then did Zong Shou act like he understood. However, Chu Xue scoffed coldly, her killing intent burning even brighter, "Hypocrite, young master has dozens of brothers, but only you like to be hypocritical! Weren't the people that Uncle Yin and I killed the last few days sent by you? Trying to assassinate the prince, your entire family will be wiped out! Sooner or later, the ruler will wipe out all of you who betray your master! "
Zong Yu didn't care, instead laughing out loud, "Wipe them all out! Long time no see, Xue you are still so cute, I really can't bear to kill you. Keke, if it was a few months ago, how would I dare to have such thoughts? However, now that my uncle is confirmed dead, even if I take your life, what can others do to me? "
Chu Xue's face instantly turned ashen white, her body shaking as she scoffed coldly, "What nonsense are you saying? Only a fool would believe … "
Zong Yu scoffed, like he was too lazy to argue with Chu Xue, continuing to talk to himself, "Now that the monster king position is empty, there are people with ulterior motives and strong enemies outside. Are we really going to let this piece of trash sit on the throne? "
Looking at Zong Shou, Zong Yu laughed coldly, "I came here to tell brother Shou. After all, we are brothers. If you are willing to give up the prince position, I can let you live. If not, don't blame me for being vicious. This isn't like when we were young, as long as you begged, I would let you go … "
After he finished, he waved his sleeves and left. Within Baibing House, Chu Xue's face was ashen white, while Zong Shou was deep in thought.
