Hearing his pitiful words, Ye Kong couldn't help but sigh. His vigilance towards this old man lessened by a lot, and he felt some sympathy for him.
Then, Ye Kong took out the damaged golden broadsword. He took out a high-grade magic artifact, and Hua Shiba couldn't help but covet it. For a cultivator like him, this kind of high-grade magic artifact was hard to come by.
What surprised Zhang De was that the damaged part of this high-grade magic artifact was very smooth. It could be seen that the battle must have been very thrilling, and the item that damaged this high-grade magic artifact must have been very powerful and domineering.
"Can this thing be repaired?" Ye Kong asked.
"Yes." Zhang De nodded and said, "This sword is made up of many small pieces. After all, this is a situation where it is easy to repair, because only a very small part of it is really damaged. After removing this part and reassembling it, the Shieldsword can be used again. Its function and power won't lose much. At most, it will be shorter than before."
Hearing Zhang De's words, Ye Kong was overjoyed, and then he took out the inner armor made of the Ink Shark skin.
This Ink Shark's inner armor was gray and misty, very inconspicuous, unlike the golden broadsword just now. Thus, Hua Shiba and Zhang De's two disciples didn't pay much attention to it and didn't think much of it.
But Zhang De had extraordinary eyesight. When he saw the Ink Shark Armor, his eyes instantly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Little friend, is this thing made of the legendary Ink Shark skin?"
Seeing Zhang De's expression, Ye Kong somewhat regretted taking this thing out. But since he had already taken it out, he didn't hide it anymore. He nodded and said, "Yes, this thing is made of the Ink Shark skin. I wonder if it can be repaired."
Zhang De's expression instantly returned to normal, and he said with a smile, "Of course it can … but I heard that this Ink Shark skin is extremely tough, and it could easily make a crack in this armor. The opponent is at least a late stage Core Formation Patriarch's life treasure."
Ye Kong shook his head and said with a half-genuine smile, "Not at all. When I went deep into the Untainted Land last time, I accidentally encountered a strange-looking spirit beast. The spirit beast's claws were extremely sharp, and at that time, if it wasn't for this Ink Shark's inner armor blocking its claws, I would have been cut open on the spot."
When everyone heard Ye Kong's humorous words, they all laughed. Everyone's eyes were filled with respect for Ye Kong. Thinking about how he dared to go so deep into Untainted Land when he was only at the seventh layer of Qi Refining, this was too shocking.
"How about this? It's been a long time since I've had any business. Today, I'll give you a polite price. Only 500 spirit stones for the two magic tools. How about that?" That Zhang De was indeed candid. Five hundred spirit stones was already a very favorable price. Ye Kong was originally prepared to spend over a thousand spirit stones.
After all, both of them were high-grade magic artefacts, and there was also a high-grade defensive magic artefact, which was not cheap. Moreover, they were all major repairs, and the repair cost would not be less than a thousand spirit stones.
"Then, thank you, Daoist Zhang." Ye Kong felt that this person was really not bad. He was candid and frank. He liked dealing with straightforward people.
However, Ye Kong felt that he couldn't bully a straightforward person, especially when he was a disabled person. Therefore, Ye Kong said, "Daoist Zhang, is 500 spirit stones enough? If it's not enough, I can add some points …"
"It's enough, it's enough. This Old Man only wants the cost of the materials, and the manual work is free."
"Hey, how can Daoist Zhang do this for free?"
"Hehe, little friend is also a man of character. If you can help This Old Man with a small favor, This Old Man will be very grateful." Zhang De suddenly changed the topic.
"Daoist Zhang, please speak frankly. If there's anything I can help with, I will definitely not refuse." Actually, at this moment, Ye Kong was suddenly in a bad mood. This Zhang De was clearly playing a little trick. First, he pretended to be polite, then he asked for something.
Zhang De said, "This Zhang wants to ask little friend for some Ink Shark Skin scraps … Little friend, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Listen to This Old Man first." As Zhang De spoke, he used his finger to dig out his right eyeball, and actually dug out a round eyeball. When he looked at it again, he found that it was made of jade.
"Actually, This Old Man only has one eye. Although his right eye is blind, it has become This Old Man's Achilles' heel. That enemy also got the news … Therefore, this Zhang De boldly asked little friend for some Ink Shark Skin. It doesn't need to be too big, just enough to make an eye patch to cover his right eye …" After Zhang De finished speaking, he lowered his head and sighed. He then said, "This Zhang De knows that this request is a bit excessive. If little friend doesn't have it, then just pretend that this Zhang De didn't say anything."
Zhang De's words were sincere, and he only asked for the eye to be a little bigger. Ye Kong still had a lot in his storage bag. He felt that if he didn't agree to Zhang De's request, it would be unreasonable.
"Immortal Zhang, don't worry. I still have some of this Ink Shark Skin, but I didn't bring it with me. I'll bring it to you when I come to get the magic tool, okay?"
Hearing this, Zhang De was overjoyed. He raised his head, and tears actually gushed out of his single eye. He hurriedly thanked Zhang De with a trembling voice, and ordered his disciple to push the wooden wheelchair, sending Ye Kong and Hua Shiba to the entrance of the small courtyard.
"That Zhang De is really pitiful." After leaving the Ling Nu House, Hua Shiba couldn't help but sigh. Thinking about it, he started to suspect that it was a scam. Now, he still felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that the rumors outside might not necessarily be true.
"He is indeed pitiful. I hope this small piece of Ink Shark Skin can help him." Ye Kong also nodded. He had finished most of his business today, so he let Hua Shiba leave on his own. Then, he walked alone to the main road to the east of Sishui City.
Little did he know that while the two of them were expressing their sympathy, that one-eyed legless Zhang De was wiping his old tears, and a cold light shot out from his eyes …
Sishui City, East Ninth Street, Chen Bai's Women's Clothing Shop.
At this moment, it was the busiest time of the Women's Clothing Shop. Although the shop was not big, the business was good. Women and young ladies went in and out of the shop, looking for clothes that suited them.
Sitting in front of the chopping board at the back of the shop, Bai Jie 'er was in a daze looking at a piece of cloth in front of her. She was also a poor person. Originally, she wanted to marry a scholar. Although she didn't talk about wealth, she could at least have a comfortable life. But who knew that Chen Xiucai's life was not good. He died a few years after getting married, leaving only his youngest son and a lot of debts to Bai Jie 'er.
Because Bai Jie 'er was dignified and beautiful, and her husband died at a young age, she attracted the coveting of a big family in the village, who forced her to become a concubine in the name of debt repayment. That big family was seventy or eighty years old, and they already had thirteen concubines. Bai Jie 'er naturally refused, so she fled to this Sishui City and opened a clothing shop.
Bai Jie 'er's clothing making skills were very good, and she was beautiful. She looked good in any clothes, so her business was not bad. However, there were often shady hooligans who wanted to take advantage of her. In a hurry, she simply changed the clothing shop to a women's clothing shop, only doing business with women.
After more than half a year, the money she earned had paid off the debts of the big family in the countryside, and her life was finally on the right track.
At present, the only thing that bothered her was her only son, Huang Baixuan. Huang Baixuan was smart and healthy since he was a child. However, he didn't use his talent properly. At a young age, he didn't want to make progress. If this was the case, it would have been fine. But after this kid came to Sishui City, he stayed with the hooligans in the city and became worse and worse. Every two or three days, he would come home to ask for money, and if he didn't get what he wanted, he would fight and make trouble.
"He's only nine years old. If he goes on like this, what will happen when he's nineteen years old?" Bai Jie 'er sighed in a low voice. Thinking of the dark-skinned young cultivator, she couldn't help but mutter, "Is that immortal master lying to us? Why haven't I seen him in more than ten days?"
While she was thinking, she heard someone shouting, "Hey, Lady Boss, don't think about love. I'm asking you a question. How much is this undergarment?"
