Lu Xuanping finally entered the weapon refining shop of the Chi family. He was familiar with the family of this shop. The ship he took to Taihang Island last time was theirs. The shop was not very big, it seemed to have only a few rooms and a backyard!
When Lu Xuanping entered the hall, there was a middle-aged man with a ruddy face, and standing next to him was a sturdy man with dark skin but a respectful expression.
The two saw Lu Xuanping coming in. The middle-aged man saw that he couldn't see through his cultivation and winked at the strong man. The strong man nodded to indicate that he had received it, and took a few steps forward very responsibly and asked politely:
"Is this customer buying a magic tool, or does he want to order one?"
"Let me first see what magical weapons you have in your store, and then decide whether to order one!" Lu Xuanping said calmly.
"Okay, then, would you like to see a top-grade magic weapon or a top-grade magic weapon?" The sturdy man asked with a happy look on his face when he saw this.
"Let's take a look at the top-grade magic weapon first."
Lu Xuanping's words disappointed the middle-aged man, but he couldn't be slow in courtesy, so the strong man asked
"What kind of top-grade magic weapon would the guest like?"
"The sword-shaped ones are best."
The sturdy man nodded. Young cultivators like Lu Ping were either old monsters who had achieved great success in maintaining their beauty, or they had just entered the foundation-building stage.
If he is an old monster, he will naturally need a top-grade magic weapon. If he has just started to build his foundation and is short of money, he will naturally choose a high-grade magic weapon.
If you buy directly, most people would choose sword-shaped weapons.
The sturdy man took Lu Ping to a room on the right, where many forbidden spells were set up. Similarly, each forbidden spell was a magical weapon.
Seeing that only he and the strong man were there, Lu Ping immediately activated his spiritual eyes to look at these magic weapons. Even the few sword-shaped magic weapons were only dim and weak in spiritual light, and could not be considered as top-grade magic weapons. The most important thing was that there were no magic weapons suitable for the wind attribute.
"Do you have any wind-attributed magical instruments here?"
After hearing this, the strong man said somewhat embarrassedly:
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, customers. Although our store has quite a few magical weapons, we don't have top-grade magical weapons that are not of the five elements, such as wind, thunder, and ice. Even the few top-grade magical weapons in the shape of swords are not of the wind attribute." The sturdy man didn't dare to hide anything in the face of Lu Xuanping, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he had to tell the truth.
After hearing this, Lu Xuanping asked again, "I wonder what the price of this top-grade magic weapon is."
"Sir, our top-grade magic weapons are all carefully crafted, so their prices are all over four thousand spirit stones." The sturdy man replied.
Hearing this, Lu Xuanping couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being so stupid! Even if someone has the magic weapon he needs, he can't afford it without spirit stones. "
Lu Xuanping shook his head, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, customer. If you are not satisfied, our store can still provide refining services!"
"I still have some things to buy. Let's come here and start after we finish our business!" Lu Xuanping politely refused.
If you don’t have spirit stones, then sell the magical tools you don’t use first.
After leaving the Chi family's weapon refining shop, Lu Ping used camouflage skills to physically disguise himself and then came to the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce.
When you enter the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, you will see a bright hall that can accommodate dozens of people without feeling crowded, super-long counters made of precious redwood, and four or five attendants wearing uniform blue shirts. All of this gives people an absolutely grand and formal feeling.
Inside the hall, three attendants in green were explaining something to several cultivators who looked like guests.
After a brief observation, Lu Ping discovered that they were all cultivators who practiced Qigong.
There were many various items placed on the counter. Judging from their appearance, they were all things that only cultivators could use. There was everything from the lowest-level spiritual grains and spiritual springs to the most commonly used talismans, magical instruments and elixirs.
Lu Xuanping smiled slightly. It seemed that he had found the right place. Last time, it was Uncle Jiu who came to exchange for the [Spiritual Transformation Fruit], but he did not come.
At this moment, a man dressed in green who looked like an attendant came up and said with a big smile on his face, "Whatever this fellow Daoist needs, my Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce has everything!"
"Can you accept top-grade magical weapons here?" Lu Xuanping said calmly.
The blue-clothed attendant was slightly startled when he heard this. After he was sure that the other party was not joking, the smile on his face became more genuine, and he personally led the person to the second floor.
The furnishings upstairs are somewhat different from those in the hall. They are divided into two rows of counters, east and west. The space occupied by each item inside the counter is much larger than that in the hall. There are also some antique tables and chairs outside the counter, which are arranged elegantly, generously, comfortably and cozy.
What was most surprising was that there was an old man sitting in the north of the room, with a pot on the table next to him.
Lu Ping sniffed and seemed to have lit some incense, filling the second floor with a faint scent of sandalwood.
But at the moment there was not a single customer. It seemed that even the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce could not always have foundation-building level business.
"Sir, the second floor is all about doing business for those in the Foundation Establishment Stage." After saying that, the green-clothed attendant said a few words to an old man.
The old man put down his tea, stood up, and greeted him with a bow. He said with a smile: "I am Ye Yinchuan, the person in charge of the second floor of Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce. What is your name?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Chen Ping"
Lu Xuanping didn't do anything bad, so there was no reason why he didn't dare to give his name. However, this time he gave a false name because the magic weapon he was selling was dirty.
"It's Brother Chen, please take a seat!"
"I wonder if you have any magical weapons for sale," the old man asked politely after Lu Xuanping sat down.
Lu Xuanping took out the magic weapon he had obtained and handed it to Ye Yinchuan.
He picked up the magic weapon and took a quick look at it, then raised his head to look at Lu Xuanping, and then continued to check it with his head down.
"Fellow Daoist, I have looked at these magic weapons, a set of flying knives and two whisks. They are all acceptable, but these magic weapons have signs of being used, so they will be discounted."
"The price I offer is 1,200 spirit stones. What do you think, brother?"
This was somewhat different from the price Lu Xuanping had in mind, which was 1,300 yuan. However, the purchase price of other stores he asked was only 1,100 yuan, so 1,200 yuan was indeed acceptable to the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce.
"I can accept this price, but I hope you can keep it a secret that it is sold by me."
"Haha! Please rest assured, Brother Chen. The reputation of our chamber of commerce is definitely one of the best in Taihang Market. If our store has ever been dishonest, you can report it to Taihang Zhenren!" The old man said slowly, looking confident.
At this time, the blue-robed attendant came upstairs carrying a teapot and several teacups. Before he approached the two of them, the fragrance of tea had already filled the room.
"This is a special fragrant tea made in this building. It is not easy to find in other places. It smells very fragrant. Brother Chen, you can taste it first." After Shopkeeper Ye and the blue-clothed attendants arranged the tea set and went downstairs, he took a small sip contentedly and said with a smile.
Lu Xuanping looked at the fragrant tea in front of him, shook his head slightly, and said impatiently: "Shopkeeper Ye, let's get down to business first!"
"I didn't expect that you are such an impatient person! Okay, please wait a moment, I will go and get the spirit stones!" Shopkeeper Ye stood up with a hint of regret, bowed to Lu Xuanping, and left him alone to go downstairs.

Maybe more than 2,000 words per chapter doesn’t seem exciting enough, so the number of words in each chapter will increase in the future, with three chapters and 8,000 words per day. However, this will cause the new book period to pass quickly and the collection to be insufficient, so I hope everyone will support it.
Today's chapter 5.
