Heavenly Fortune Pavilion
Half an hour later, Elder Jia walked in.
"Young Master, I have discussed with my master. If this magic tool is only sold in the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion, it would be too much of a waste. It would not reflect its true value …"
Before Elder Jia could finish, Luo Zheng's face showed displeasure. Just now, this old man said that the price would not be lower than one million gold taels. Now, in the blink of an eye, he said that the Tiger-Piercing Blade could not be sold in the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion. This clearly meant that the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion would not accept the magic tool.
"Fine, if your shop doesn't accept it, then forget it!"
Luo Zheng could not be bothered to argue. He stood up and was about to leave.
"Young Master, you misunderstood!" Elder Jia was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. "That is not what I meant. Young Master, please listen to me."
"Oh?" Luo Zheng saw that the old man did not seem to be lying. He stopped in his tracks.
"Our master's intention is to send the Tiger-Piercing Blade to the auction house for auction. Our Heavenly Fortune Pavilion will pay one million gold taels in advance. After the Tiger-Piercing Blade is auctioned, after deducting the auction house's fees, we will give the rest of the proceeds to Young Master."
Elder Jia was afraid that Luo Zheng would leave, so he quickly explained.
"What if the auction house does not sell for one million gold taels? What is your purpose? "
Luo Zheng thought for a while and asked.
Elder Jia's words were indeed tempting. However, businessmen by nature pursued profits. If the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion did this, they would not be able to make any money. They might even suffer a loss.
If there was no satisfactory reason, Luo Zheng would definitely not agree.
"Young Master, rest assured. Although the Tiger-Piercing Blade was casually forged by your master and has some flaws, its power is extremely great. It is extremely rare among low grade magic tools. The auction price will only be higher! This old man still has the ability to judge. "Elder Jia said confidently.
"As for our purpose, to be honest with you, we hope that you can put in a good word for us in front of your master. The Heavenly Fortune Pavilion hopes to establish a long-term partnership with your master. We hope that in the future, all magic tools forged by your master will be sold and auctioned by the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion. Of course, we can guarantee that we will not take any profits."
Elder Jia looked at Luo Zheng with a sincere and earnest expression as he spoke carefully.
Luo Zheng's heart skipped a beat. If what the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion said was true, then there were indeed many benefits for him. In the future, he would inevitably need to rely on refining tools in exchange for large amounts of cultivation resources. Naturally, he would need a stable and trustworthy sales channel.
Low-grade magic tools were fine, but if he were to sell middle-grade or even high-grade magic tools in the future, it would be strange if he didn't attract a fatal disaster.
However, even though this matter was beneficial to him, he couldn't agree too quickly.
Thinking this in his heart, Luo Zheng pretended to ponder for a moment before replying, "Old Jia, I need to report this matter to Master and let Master make the decision. I can't give you an answer now."
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Elder Jia almost cried tears of joy. A blacksmith who could refine middle-grade magic tools would definitely have a stable relationship with some of the great clans and families. They wouldn't easily cooperate with ordinary merchants. He had only wanted to give it a try. He didn't expect that Luo Zheng would actually agree to report to Master. This was truly a pleasant surprise.
If the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion could really cooperate with a powerful blacksmith, even if they didn't earn a single cent from the blacksmith, the benefits would still be great.
The Hundred Battles Dynasty had a population of ten billion, and countless people cultivated the martial way. Even though there weren't many who could truly achieve something and enter the Blood Tempering Realm, magic tools were still in short supply.
If the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion could establish a relationship with a powerful blacksmith and sell middle-grade or even high-grade magic tools on behalf of the blacksmith, they would be able to establish a relationship with countless great clans. Even if they didn't make money from selling magic tools, they could still earn it back in other ways.
"Young Master, for the time being, the Tiger Piercing Blade will be arranged according to the previous arrangement. We will first pay you one million taels of gold, then send the magic tool to the largest auction house in War Emperor City for appraisal, evaluation, and confirmation of the auction date. Normally, the auction will begin in about ten days. Young Master can come back ten days later to withdraw the extra money. "
Elder Jia continued.
"Okay, but I have a condition. I want most of the one million taels of gold to be exchanged for elixirs, Human Upper Grade elixirs." Luo Zheng said.
"What? Young Master, that's impossible. Human Upper Grade elixirs are all controlled by the dynasty. Only a few shops sell them, and they need to be booked for a year or even two years. Where do you expect me to find them?" Elder Jia's face was filled with embarrassment.
"It seems that there really is no other way."
Luo Zheng sighed in his heart and nodded. "Then at least exchange them for Blood Nourishing Elixirs. Anyway, just exchange them for me according to the market price. I don't want you to lose out."
Four hours later, Luo Zheng left the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion with two hundred Blood Nourishing Elixirs in his leather bag, as well as some supplementary elixirs for healing.
After circling around the Martial Market, Luo Zheng was relieved to find that no one was following him. He directly bought a Flood Dragon Blood Horse, left War Emperor City, and galloped into the vast prairie.
He didn't tell Elder Jia that he wouldn't be back in ten days.
That would be the beginning of the Blood Refining Trial.
"Young Lady, I'm Jia Quan."
At this moment, on the top floor of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion, Elder Jia walked to a door and knocked.
"Uncle Jia, please come in. How's it going?"
The one who opened the door was a beautiful girl. She had pretty features and a tall figure, about eighteen or nineteen years old.
She was wearing a tight-fitting purple robe, outlining her breathtaking figure. Especially her valiant and valiant short hair that reached her ears, exuding a rare valiant aura, revealing a charming androgynous flavor.
The short-haired girl looked at Elder Jia anxiously.
"Fortunately, I didn't let you down. This young man has already promised to go back and report to his master. If the Tiger Piercing Blade can be sold at a satisfactory price, there is a high chance that his master will agree." Elder Jia said happily.
"We must seize this opportunity to save the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion. We can't let father and grandfather's hard work fall into the hands of others!"
The short-haired girl gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred. "That damned Bai Xingjian!"
Luo Zheng returned to the Five Beast Army camp and went straight to Wang Nian's residence. As expected, the fatty was already in the house.
"This is for you. Try to break through to the Bone Refining Realm before the Blood Refining Trial."
Luo Zheng took out two small bottles and handed them to the fatty.
"Damn it, you robbed that family's treasury!" Wang Nian said exaggeratedly, his mouth wide open when he saw that the bottles were filled to the brim with Blood Nourishing Elixirs.
"Cultivate well. You must break through to the Bone Refining Realm. Don't lose your life in the Blood Refining Trial."
Luo Zheng rolled his eyes at the fatty in annoyance. He went straight to the Blue Wolf Battalion's cultivation room and started cultivating.
For five days, Luo Zheng continuously consumed Blood Nourishing Elixirs and used the Falling Star Fist to refine the elixirs, temper his body, and increase his strength.
Luo Zheng felt that after the Blue Li Sword had formed the sword embryo, the Heavenly Sword Array had refined the elixirs at a much faster speed. Furthermore, the elixirs refined were much purer than before.
Originally, he had estimated that he would only need around 100 Blood Nourishing Elixirs to reach the peak of the Film Forging Realm. However, he had actually used 200 Blood Nourishing Elixirs to reach his goal. The number of elixirs he needed had doubled!
However, Luo Zheng's strength had also increased tremendously. His strength had increased by more than two times. Originally, his full-strength punch had about 20,000 pounds of force, but now it had reached 70,000 pounds of force.
"Such a great improvement should be due to the effect of the Falling Star Fist. Also, after refining the Heavenspan Sword Array, the medicinal efficacy has become even purer. Now, if I don't use any martial arts, I can rely on my strength to suppress an ordinary Film Forging realm martial artist. Previously, Zhao Feng was already known as the number one Film Forging Realm martial artist in the Giant Elephant Battalion. I wonder if there are any stronger Film Forging Realm martial artists in the Flying Dragon Battalion. "
Luo Zheng felt that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Unless he entered the Blood Tempering Realm and opened up his Sea of Qi, he would not be able to improve no matter how many Blood Nourishing Elixirs he consumed. Thus, he stopped cultivating.
"I can finally compete with the true geniuses of the Five Beast Army in this Blood Refinement Trial!"
Luo Zheng was secretly looking forward to the upcoming Blood Refinement Trial. The Five Beast Army was where the geniuses of the Hundred Battles Dynasty gathered. There were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Not only were there experts in the Blood Tempering Realm, but there were also some true geniuses who had already entered the Marrow Changing Realm. Luo Zheng knew that it would not be easy to obtain the rewards of the Blood Refinement Trial.
"There are still five days before the Blood Refinement Trial begins. I wonder if Xiao Han has come out of seclusion?"
When Luo Zheng thought of Xiao Han, his eyes flashed and became cold.
If he had not obtained the Heavenly Sword Formation, he would probably have been tossed to god knows where by now. He would have even been framed as a deserter. His family and clansmen would have been executed. The men would have been sent to work and enslaved forever. The women would have been demoted to prostitutes and would never be able to raise their heads again.
"Now, I finally have some strength and will not be bullied by others. Xiao Han, this Blood Refinement Trial will be the time for us to settle the score!"
After a long time, Luo Zheng exhaled and stood up to leave. "Let's go see how Fatty's cultivation is going."
When he arrived at Wang Nian's residence, Luo Zheng realized that he was not there. Thus, he decided to head to the Gray Wolf Camp's dining hall.
Firstly, he could inquire about Xiao Han. Secondly, he wanted to have a good meal. He had been relying on elixirs to provide energy for his cultivation over the past few days. Although the effects were much better than eating meat, it lacked the satisfaction of eating. After all, something was missing.
"Hehe, damn fatty, let me tell you a piece of good news. Young Master Xiao Han spread the news yesterday that he has broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm. He will consolidate his cultivation over the next few days. The day of the Blood Refinement Trial will be the day he officially comes out of seclusion. Young Master Xiao wants me to tell Luo Zheng that the Blood Refinement Trial will be the day he dies. Hahaha. "
"That's right, damn fatty, you've always been on good terms with Luo Zheng, right? Young Master Xiao Han had also said that everyone who was close to Luo Zheng had to die! You should also wash your neck and wait! "
"Pig brain, to actually be friends with a lowly commoner like Luo Zheng, you're simply seeking your own death!"
When Luo Zheng approached the dining hall, he heard mocking laughter coming from inside.
Soon after, Wang Nian's sharp voice rang out, "You dare to provoke Lord Fatty? You're courting death!"
Bang! Bang bang!
The sound of fighting rang out.
"Aiyo! Damn, when did this damn fatty become so powerful? "
"This fatty has broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm, an iron tree blooming!"
"Bullshit, iron tree blooming! Surround him, I want to make his face bloom!"
Hearing this, Luo Zheng could not help but smile, "This fatty still has a bit of a hedonistic character. He just broke through to the Bone Tempering Realm and he's already so arrogant …"
He slowly walked into the dining hall.
At this time, Wang Nian was already surrounded by more than ten youths from the Blue Wolf Battalion. Many of these youths were at the Bone Tempering Realm. Although Wang Nian stubbornly resisted and was not afraid of death, he was still beaten black and blue. He was almost unable to hold on.
"Brother, quickly come and fight … aiyo!"
Wang Nian caught a glimpse of Luo Zheng in the midst of his busy fighting. Before he could even greet him, he received another punch to the face.
"Brother, I'm coming!"
