Chapter 743: Sweeping Xiangfan
Wanhua Lingxiang, a mid-level auxiliary magic weapon!
This result made Xie Shi scratch his head and puzzled, because according to common sense, the seventh-level spiritual materials can only be refined into a primary-level magic weapon at most.
Xiao Mian had expected it, and his blood was not shed in vain...
However, very few cultivators would spend such a huge price to make an auxiliary magic weapon. You must know that even for a primary-level magic weapon, the required materials must be seventh-level!
If these spiritual materials for making Wanhua Lingxiang fall into the hands of the scholar, it is not difficult to get a hundred-refined steel flying sword, and it is definitely a top-grade flying sword of excellent quality.
Even in Zhongzhou, the top-grade primary-level magic weapon is hard to come by!
Xiao Mian, holding Wanhua Lingxiang, didn't care.
First, he didn't care about the spiritual materials used to make the Wanhua Lingxiang - the hundred-refined steel was originally refined by Guitou, and the raw materials for refining were obtained from Chi Lianyun for free; although the exquisite gold thread was rare, Xiao Mian had given Leng Ningyu a small half of the exquisite gold thread, but even so, Xiao Mian still had a lot of exquisite gold thread on hand.
With these two spiritual materials, it was very cost-effective to be able to refine a Wanhua Lingxiang - you must know that professionals of Xie Shi's level are rare!
If Xiao Mian hadn't calculated all kinds of things, the price of just wanting Xie Shi to help him refine the Wanhua Lingxiang would not be too low.
After pouring the true essence into the Wanhua Lingxiang, Xiao Mian saw that the mask engraved with his face suddenly squirmed, and after solidification, it turned into the appearance of Bai Jintang.
It turned out that Xiao Mian was just imagining Bai Jintang's appearance!
Looking at the fair and handsome face of Bai Jintang in his hand, Xiao Mian was overjoyed.
Not to mention that he didn't spend a single spiritual stone to get this Wanhua Lingxiang, even if he spent a million middle spiritual stones, Xiao Mian would feel that it was not a loss.
Wanhua Lingxiang is a mid-level magic weapon, which has the amazing effect of shielding the ordinary Yuanying mid-level ancestors' spiritual sense scanning. Xiao Mian even had a premonition: this Wanhua Lingxiang will be a more powerful auxiliary magic weapon than the Beidou Siman Plate he got before!
In the future, his trip to Zhongzhou will be like a fish in water under the cover of Wanhua Lingxiang.
Putting away Wanhua Lingxiang, Xiao Mian was satisfied.
Then he thought that now Wanhua Lingxiang has been obtained, Yue Jitian and Shui Qianyue have left Xiangfan City one after another, and he has offended many young talents in Xiangfan City because of Shui Qianyue. Although Xiao Mian is not afraid of them, he has no intention of making trouble.
It's better to leave Xiangfan City as soon as possible...
Just thinking about it, the black cloth in Xiao Mian's body suddenly jumped.
With a cluster of sword eyebrows, Xiao Mian summoned the black cloth.
"Xiao Bu! Are you still not full?"
"..."
"Aren't you hungry? Are you going to make something? What?"
"..."
"..., OK! Stop talking. I won't understand even if you talk!" Xiao Mian interrupted Hei Bu's silent chatter and asked kindly, "Are you saying that you have refined the Nine-Child Ghost Mother Diagram? Do you want to use it to refine a battle formation diagram? It's not impossible. Xiao Bu, tell me what materials you need?"
At that moment, Hei Bu sent another series of messages.
At first, Xiao Mian remained calm, but gradually, his face became ugly, and at the end, it was as gloomy as ink.
"Brother Keng! Refining a battle formation diagram requires so many raw materials?"
It turned out that although the material bills reported by Hei Bu were not of high grade, the quantity was tens of thousands of kilograms. The largest quantity was the fourth-level rutile that Hei Bu accidentally swallowed that day, which was as high as one million kilograms!
How could Xiao Mian not be stunned by such a huge quantity and call him Brother Keng?
Facing Xiao Mian's questioning, Hei Bu was speechless, but Gui Tou spoke at the right time.
"Humph! Ignorant boy!" Without condensing his soul, Gui Tou just cursed at Xiao Mian: "Although there is only one word difference between the battle formation diagram and the formation diagram, there is a world of difference!"
"Oh? Please help me, old man!"
It was rare for Gui Tou to speak up for Hei Bu, and Xiao Mian became interested.
After that, after Gui Tou's explanation, Xiao Mian suddenly realized.
It turned out that the so-called battle formation diagram was a formation diagram arranged in the form of a battle formation. Once it was deployed, it would automatically form a battle formation, with the objects that constituted the battle formation as the formation base, and operate the formation, so that the power formed by the formation diagram could be raised to the level comparable to the real formation, which could be called a wonderful existence that turned decay into magic.
The more Xiao Mian listened, the brighter his eyes became.
At the end, he slapped his thigh and rushed out of Wanxiang Pavilion without saying a word.
Soon after that, a storm of acquisitions was set off in Xiangfan City.
Almost at the same time, all the spiritual material shops in Xiangfan City had people repeatedly making purchases of large quantities of medium and low-level metal ore spiritual materials at high prices.
No one paid attention to this matter at first, after all, the appearance of the cultivators who appeared in each shop was different, and the spiritual materials purchased were mainly medium-level spiritual materials of level three to five.
It happened that this day was the middle of the month. According to convention, the bosses of many business houses in Xiangfan City were going to hold a business meeting to negotiate. During the meeting, a curious person happened to talk about this matter, and everyone was shocked to realize that almost all the medium-level ore spiritual materials in Xiangfan City were swept away.
Could it be that some force was secretly invading the business world of Xiangfan City?
Hoarding and speculation have always been the true teachings of merchants.
Many big bosses present had turned to business wars because they had no hope for the Great Dao. Naturally, they were more sensitive to the intrigues between merchants.
But no matter how hard they thought, they couldn't figure out that this was done by one person!
Xiao Mian, with the Wanhua Spiritual Image, swept across the entire Xiangfan City!
Seeing the small black cloth swallowing piles of spiritual materials like a small mountain into his stomach, Xiao Mian was stunned and felt a little distressed.
Even if they were not valuable, they were still spiritual stones!
Moreover, each kind of spiritual material swallowed by the black cloth was in huge quantities. Even with Xiao Mian's wealth, it cost a lot of spiritual stones to purchase such a large amount of spiritual materials.
Now I just hope that the battle formation diagram that even Guitou highly praised can really bring him a surprise...
The next morning, Xiao Mian planned to leave Xiangfan City with Xuancao.
Unexpectedly, he met Tong the shopkeeper and his son at the gate of Wanxiang Pavilion.
"Shopkeeper Tong! What a coincidence?"
"I've been waiting here specially, how can it be a coincidence?"
"How did Shopkeeper Tong know that I would leave Xiangfan City today?"
"You were the one who swept through many shops in Xiangfan City yesterday, right?" Shopkeeper Tong wanted to show off his power to Xiao Mian with a smile, but suddenly he felt a momentum rising from Xiao Mian that made him palpitate. He couldn't help but straighten his face and explained repeatedly: "Don't blame me, fellow Taoist! Manager Xie once said: Fellow Taoist got a rare treasure that can change its appearance..."
"Humph! It seems that when signing a contract in the future, we have to add a clause not to leak secrets!"
A cold snort showed Xiao Mian's unhappiness.
Shopkeeper Tong breathed a sigh of relief, but he also muttered to himself: Where did this kid come from? It seems that he doesn't even take Xie Shi seriously...
"I guess Manager Tong didn't come here just to remind me of this?"
"How could that be? I came here today to ask you for something!"
"Oh? Tell me about it!"
As if he didn't care, Xiao Mian's eyes turned around Tong Zhan.
Sure enough, Manager Tong came here for his beloved son.
"I heard that you are going to the headquarters of our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce? I wonder if you can do me a favor and let my son go with you, so that he can broaden his horizons!" He said this carefully. Seeing that Xiao Mian neither refused nor agreed, Tong said: "If you agree, I am willing to sign a contract with you!"
"Contract?"
"If you can escort my son to the headquarters of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce safely within three months, I am willing to pay you one million middle spirits. How about it?"
"Three months? One million middle spirits?"
"Not bad!"
"Ha! It's not far to your Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce headquarters. With Brother Tong's skills, even if he can't get there within a month, it will definitely take less than two months. Why do we need to make a three-month appointment? Why spend a million middle spirits? If Tong thinks the spirit stones are too hot, I will take them. As for the contract, forget it, okay?"
"You don't know!"
As if he knew Xiao Mian would react this way, Tong smiled bitterly and said slowly. It turns out that although the Tong family is considered to be a small wealthy family in Xiangfan City, they often offend people. Because of the presence of Tong the shopkeeper and Xie Shi, their enemies dare not mess around. But if they leave Xiangfan City, their enemies will be unscrupulous.
It happened that Tong the shopkeeper was in charge of Hongyun Building and could not leave Xiangfan City without permission, and Tong Zhan had to rush to the headquarters of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce within three months.
"Business school? Brother Tong went to the headquarters to attend that business school? Isn't this... a waste of talent? With Brother Tong's strength..."
"Fellow Daoist, you are wrong! Our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has always been a business-oriented society. Not to mention Jindan cultivators like us, even Yuanying ancestors like Manager Xie are guarding Xiangfan City and running this small Wanxiang Pavilion? Besides, my Tong family is not one of the thirteen families that have entered the Elders' Council. If Zhan'er can be proficient in business, it may not be a bad thing!"
"This..."
"If fellow Daoist agrees, I will sign a contract with you now!"
"..., Senior Tong, you are too polite! Brother Tong and I hit it off right away. If I can travel with him, it will be a great pleasure in life. What's the point of talking about spiritual stones? Wouldn't that be... Too hurtful?" With a frank smile, before Tong, who looked slightly happy, could speak, Xiao Mian changed the subject: "Since Tong knows that I am collecting a large amount of high-quality gold and iron ore, and you are a local snake in Xiangfan City, do you know if there is a suitable source of ore?"
"This..."
"Top-grade pure rutile - 10,000 jin!"
"You! You are blackmailing me!"
"20,000 jin!"
"I..."
"Father! I am not talented, but I have few rivals in Xiangfan City. I don't believe that if I leave Xiangfan City, who can easily kill me? Why should we ask this money-grubbing person? Why don't you let me leave the city alone?"
Tong Zhan's words made Tong's face change again and again, and finally settled down.
Facing Xiao Mian, Tong nodded.
"Okay! I promise you!"
"Father!"
"Shut up! From now on, until you arrive safely at the headquarters, you must obey the arrangements of this Taoist Xiao and treat him as a father and a brother!"
"I..."
"Don't say anything!"
With a shout, Manager Tong signed a contract with Xiao Mian on the spot...
