"Alright, let's go to a weapon shop next. This shop is amazing."
Hong Waner eagerly led the way. The reason why he said this shop was amazing was because the owner of this weapon shop was amazing. This owner was the same as Du Feng, a cultivator from the Lower Realm. Moreover, she was a female cultivator. Relying on her own strength, she quickly gained a foothold in the Southern City and even managed her own weapon shop.
"The one with the surname Hong, are you itching for a beating again?"
Just as Du Feng entered the shop, he heard a woman's voice. Following which, he looked over and saw the female owner. What a fellow, it really was a female cultivator. Back then, Hong Waner had probably tried to rob her and ended up getting beaten up. That was why he was so afraid when he saw this beautiful owner.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Today, I am here to accompany Big Brother to buy something."
As expected, Hong Waner shrunk his neck in fright. It was likely that this beautiful owner had beaten him up quite badly. If not for accompanying Du Feng, he really did not want to enter this shop.
"What's wrong? Did you get beaten up again?"
When the beautiful owner heard this, she immediately understood that Hong Waner must have met a tough opponent. Since he could not defeat the other party, he might as well acknowledge him as Big Brother. This young man before her was really interesting. He looked like a refined scholar. Why would he accept a few ruffians as his underlings?
"Are you from the Southern Continent or the Thousand Moon Nation?"
Sure enough, this beautiful owner from the Lower Realm had asked the right question. He was a cultivator who could enter the Southern City the moment he arrived. Furthermore, he had even subdued Hong Waner. If he was not from the Southern Continent, then he was from the Thousand Moon Nation. There was an eighty percent chance that he was from the Thousand Moon Nation's Star-Moon City. After all, the Star-Moon Hall was located in Star-Moon City.
"Have you participated in the Earth Ranking Competition before?"
Du Feng did not answer the beautiful owner's question. Instead, he asked her back. Since she had guessed where he was from and possessed such strength, there was an eighty percent chance that he was an expert who stood out in the Earth Ranking Competition.
"What's wrong? Do you know me?"
The beautiful boss was really impolite. They had just chatted for a while, and she had already called herself a big sister. Although she looked young and beautiful, her actual age was definitely older than Du Feng. Cultivation was at the late stage of the eighth level of the State of Powang, so it was reasonable for her to call herself the elder sister.
"Are you Lin Nujiao?"
Du Feng estimated the time and thought about the people who had been ranked on the Earth List. Before Killing God Bai Qi, there was a female champion called Lin Nujiao. In terms of age and strength, it was more in line with this beautiful boss's identity.
"Wow, you really know me. Did you also get first place?"
As she spoke, the beautiful boss took out a badge with two words engraved on it. This meant that she had once won the championship of the Earth Ranking Tournament.
Du Feng didn't say anything. He just smiled and took out a badge. The words "Earth Rank One" were clearly engraved on it. This meant that he had indeed won the Earth Ranking Tournament before.
"Don't tell me you defeated the Killing God Bai Qi and became the champion?"
Speaking of the Killing God Bai Qi, Lin Nujiao's expression turned ugly. Because the rise of the Killing God Bai Qi was too fierce, she, the old champion, was so scared that she quickly broke through Cultivation and left Star-Moon City. If she continued to stay in the champion's position, sooner or later, she would be defeated by the Killing God Bai Qi. It was better to break through early. The two of them were not in the same realm, so there was no need to fight. If Du Feng could defeat the Killing God Bai Qi when he was in the Heaven Seizing Realm, then his strength would be too terrifying.
"There was no chance to fight. He broke through in advance."
There was no need for Du Feng to lie, so he told her the truth of that night. Back then, he had indeed chosen to challenge the first place. In the end, the Killing God Bai Qi broke through to the Powang Realm during the match with Yuan Gang.
"Hehe, he can't be trying to avoid fighting with you, right?"
Du Feng had never seriously considered the question raised by the beautiful boss. In any case, his mentality at that time was to fight whoever was first. He didn't expect Bai Qi to break through Cultivation during the competition and leave the Earth List Tournament first. Now that he thought about it, it might make sense. When two tigers fought, one would definitely be injured. When the strong met, one would definitely fall. If it wasn't some deep hatred, there was no need to fight to the death.
"I don't know about that. Your ores came from the lower realms, right?"
Du Feng wasn't interested in the past, but he was interested in the future business. For the beautiful boss to be able to sell so many weapons at a discounted price, it was impossible for her to have purchased ores from the northern part of the Never-Ending Continent. One had to know that to go to the northern part of the Never-Ending Continent, one had to ride a carriage. A single trip would cost a hundred thousand black crystals, and a return trip would cost another hundred thousand black crystals. The cost of a trip of two hundred thousand black crystals would increase the cost of the weapon by a lot.
It would be fine if the purchase was large enough, but the amount of ore sold in the southern region was limited, so they wouldn't sell too much at a time. Therefore, it was quite difficult for the warriors living in the northern cities to buy a weapon that they liked.
Armor could also be replaced by leather armor, scale armor, and bone armor. If the weapon wasn't made of metal, its durability wouldn't be high, and it wouldn't be easy to shape it. It was precisely because of this that Lin Nujiao's business was so good. Others might think that the items she bought weren't expensive, but the profits were actually quite high.
"Why, did you bring it too?"
Lin Nujiao was very smart. A woman who came from the lower realm only a few years ago was able to open her own weapon shop in the southern city. She had to have some skills. She didn't think that Du Feng wanted to buy cheap weapons from her shop. Which warrior from the lower realm didn't have one or two good weapons in their hands? She rolled her eyes and figured out that Du Feng must have brought a large number of ores. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to talk so much to her.
"Boss Lin, you're smart. Let's talk about the cooperation."
Lin Nujiao was smart, but Du Feng was smarter. He knew at a glance that Lin Nujiao was a blacksmith. If she only had ores, she wouldn't be able to control the entire weapon shop alone. From the weapon's shape and forging technique, it seemed to be the technology of the lower realm. To be more specific, it was the technique of the southern continent.
"If you want to cooperate, I'll have to see what you're capable of first."
The beautiful boss instructed the workers to look after the shop and led Du Feng to the backyard. Hong Waner was dumbfounded. What's going on? Big Brother is too amazing. One had to know that Boss Lin Nujiao usually ignored men when she saw them. His mouth was cheap once, and he was even beaten by her with a whip. Why did Big Brother chat so happily the first time he came? It was fine if they were chatting happily, but he even led them to the backyard. The backyard was a warehouse. What were the two of them trying to do in that dark place?
"Big Brother, do your best!"
