Chapter 452: Stars Become Raw Stone Pavement!
"This 'Sky Collapse and Earth Sinking Purple Gold Hammer' is a second-level top-grade item. Although its grade is a little lower, the refiner has a unique idea and left it enough room for transformation and upgrading. It can add 'earth attribute gold rune stone' to focus on the 'earth sinking' direction, or add 'gold attribute' to focus on the 'purple gold' direction, or add 'thunder attribute' or 'electricity attribute' or 'wind attribute' to develop in the 'sky collapse' direction. Even if there are only multiple attributes, such as 'earth and gold dual attributes' or three attributes, four attributes or even five attributes containing these two attributes, they can be refined in theory, but the grade and power after refining are different."
The waiter first introduced the fourth-level strange weapon to Yan Chuang, and then the third-level. Seeing that Yan Chuang seemed to be unimpressed and even a little impatient, he was very reluctant to introduce this second-level top-grade item to Yan Chuang.
No wonder -
The minimum cost of a third-level strange weapon is 3,000 kilograms of fine stones.
The fourth-level strange weapon is worth at least 5 yuan pills.
As long as one level 3 or 4 is sold, not to mention that a month's sales can be completed with one order, the most tangible commission is quite a lot.
And what about the level 2 special weapon?
Starting at 300 jin of fine stones, even the highest and best ones do not exceed 1,000 jin of fine stones. For example, this "Heaven Collapse and Earth Sinking Purple Gold Hammer" is the best of the best in the level 2, and the price is 999 fine stones, which is less than one thousand.
The performance of the level 2 special weapon is too small, and the commission is too small. Of course, the waiter is unwilling to recommend it to Yan Chuang, who is obviously rich.
But there is no way.
The waiter observed the words and saw that Yan Chuang was getting impatient and was about to leave. He didn't care so much. He would try his best.
It's good to sell it!
"Heaven Collapse and Earth Sinking Purple Gold Hammer!"
"That's it!"
Yan Chuang's eyes lit up when he heard it and he liked it at first sight.
…
[Special Item·Heaven Collapse and Earth Sinking Purple Gold Hammer (Level 20): A work of game by the weapon refiner, it contains too many ideas to be taken into account, it has good power but limited potential. ]
(Ten times spiritual power can be upgraded)
…
"A work of sincerity?"
"A work of game?"
Yan Chuang looked at the introduction of the 'Heaven Collapse and Earth Sinking Purple Gold Hammer' given by "Fenbaoyan", and then thought about the words of the waiter when selling the goods, and laughed. The words of this kind of salesman really can't be believed at all. It was the same in the past life, the same in this life, and the same in the past and the present.
However, there are only 999 kilograms of fine stones: "Let's give it a try."
Yan Chuang entered the 'Heaven Collapse and Earth Sinking Purple Gold Hammer' into "Fenbaoyan", and the last piece of special items finally returned to its place. "Fenbaoyan" is full again. If you want to strengthen new treasures next, you can either replace the old ones, or continue to upgrade "Fenbaoyan", or create the new 'immortal stone' of the fourth-level "Fenbaoyan". With 10 million spiritual power, you can strengthen two more special items.
However, in a short period of time, Yan Chuang probably can't gather 10 million spiritual power to build even one "immortal stone", let alone 100 million spiritual power to upgrade "Fenbao Rock", and there is not much room for replacement.
Looking at "Fenbao Rock", and then looking at the pitiful spiritual power he has at this time compared to the spiritual power demand of 10 million or 100 million, Yan Chuang smiled, and without thinking too much, he went straight to the first floor of Wanshan Commercial Bank to start shopping--
[Wonderful Item·Heaven Collapse Purple Gold Hammer (Level 20): A game work of the weapon refiner, it contains too many ideas to take into account, and its power is good but its potential is limited. 】
(Upgradeable.)
(Searching for fusion materials.)
(Search completed, the following materials are sorted by compatibility--)
(① Third-level gold and earth dual-attribute gold rune stone)
(② Second-level gold, wood, water and earth four-attribute gold rune stone)
(③ Second-level five-element mixed gold rune stone)
...
Really good!
Yan Chuang was overjoyed!
…
For a whole day, Yan Chuang took the ‘Fourth-level Sun and Moon Glazed Bottle’ and the ‘Second-level Sky-falling and Earth-sinking Purple Gold Hammer’ to carefully scan the entire raw stone market of Wanshan Merchants.
As expected by Yan Chuang, the ‘Fourth-level Water and Fire Dual-attribute Golden Talisman Stone’ was very rare. He scanned almost all of Wanshan Merchants and didn’t find a second one.
The ‘Fourth-level Sun and Moon Glazed Bottle’ looked like it would eat for three years if it didn’t open for business for three years.
But the ‘Second-level Sky-falling and Earth-sinking Purple Gold Hammer’ was different. Although the level of this treasure was not high, its appetite was really good——
For the third-level golden talisman stone, from the ‘gold and earth dual-attribute’ upwards, the single attributes of ‘gold’ and ‘earth’ can be sensed, and even a ‘third-level variation · thunder attribute golden talisman stone’ can be sensed, which is also compatible.
The second-level golden talisman stone is even more unpredictable. As long as it contains the attributes of ‘gold’ and ‘earth’, whether it is dual-attribute, triple-attribute, quad-attribute or mixed with five elements, it can all be sensed.
"Level 4 gold rune stone, starting at 1 yuan pill."
"Level 3 gold rune stone, starting at 1,000 jin of essence stone, level 3 five elements balance can be sold for 4 yuan pill."
"Level 2 gold rune stone, starting at 100 jin of essence stone, level 2 five elements balance can sell up to 3,000 to 4,000 jin of essence stone."
Although the value of level 2 and level 3 is not as high as level 4, it is better in quantity.
Today, Yan Chuang bought 4 level 3 gold rune raw stones and 53 level 2 gold rune raw stones at Wanshan Commercial Bank, spending a total of 2,580 jin of essence stone.
There are goods in the belly of 57 level 2 and 3 gold rune raw stones. Even if calculated according to the lowest price of level 2 and 3 gold rune stones, a total of 9,300 jin of essence stone can be sold. Although it is not as good as a 'level 4 water and fire dual attribute gold rune stone', it is better in that it can be bought every day. Not to mention the stable 1 yuan pill every day, even if this number is three or five days, it is completely enough for Yan Chuang's daily practice.
Moreover, -
"Among the third-order gold talisman rough stones induced by my 'Second-Level Purple Gold Hammer', the lowest ones are 'Gold and Earth Dual Attributes'. There are also single attributes and mutated attributes. Their value is at least ten times higher than that of the third-order Five Elements Mixture." Times!”
Today's four third-level gold rune stones can at least produce gold rune stones worth more than four Yuan Dan.
Only!
Yan Chuang earns blood!
…
"Senior Brother, do you want to develop into a 'Stone Analyzer' or a 'Weapon Refiner'?" Ding Xiang stayed in Beifu for a whole day, and also watched Yan Chuang spend a whole day at Wanshan Trading Company. Ding Xiang felt a sudden pain in his body when he spent a lot of energy to sweep the second and third level gold talisman rough stones.
Being young and ignorant is precious!
I don’t know how precious it is!
Yan Chuang is extravagant!
Thinking again about the second-level peak ‘Purple Gold Hammer’ and 999 kilograms of fine stone, I really don’t know what the use of Yan Chuangtang’s innate god general was to buy it?
As a decoration?
Ding Xiang doesn't understand.
Lu Yuru didn't understand either, but after Yan Chuang visited the rare weapons and treasures area on the second floor of Wanshan Trading Company, she was immersed in surprises all day long——
"First-order surprise soldier, 30 kilograms of fine stone."
"Second-level surprise weapon, 300 kilograms of fine stone."
"Third-level surprise weapon, 3,000 kilograms of fine stone."
"Level 4 surprise weapon, 5 Yuan Dan."
"Level 5 Raiders, 50 Yuan Dan."
"Depending on the different functions of exotic treasures, their value will generally fluctuate three to five times higher than that of rare weapons of the same level."
"And I have 59 rare weapons and treasures on my body, including 17 first-level items, 29 second-level items, 12 third-level items, and 1 fourth-level item. The total value has exceeded 100,000 kilograms of fine stones."
Only then did Lu Yuru realize that the moment she walked out of Tangu Royal City, she already had a fortune of tens of millions.
When Ding Xiang was still worried about hundreds of thousands of kilograms of fine stones and even had to borrow money from Yan Chuang, she already had at least 100,000 in high-quality assets.
Comparing people with each other makes people angry!
If Ding Xiang knew about this, she would be jealous.
Lu Yuru secretly had fun, and the anxiety caused by watching Yan Chuang and Ding Xiang's consumption and desire for the essence stone was now gone.
Have a discerning eye!
do not be afraid!
But Lu Yuru also didn't understand: "Brother Yan really wants to bet on stones?"
"Yes and no." Yan Chuang didn't explain too much. He spent 999 kilograms of fine stones to buy the 'Second Level Purple Gold Hammer' and 2,580 kilograms of fine stones to sweep up the golden rune stones. He also bought the 'Golden Talisman'. The set of second-level stone-uncovering weapons "Hammer" and "Gold Talisman Chisel" together with the supporting "Eighteen Ways to Unlock Stone" cost 1,660 kilograms of fine stone, with a total expenditure of 5,239 kilograms of fine stone, which is half a Yuan Dan. It is really a generous sum.
However, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. These are necessary expenses that cannot be omitted and cannot be saved.
Now that he has the original stone in hand, all the tools, and "The Eighteen Ways to Unlock Stones" he has memorized it by heart with absolute concentration and concentration. Theoretically, Yan Chuang can already unblock stones.
but--
"It's not that easy, right?" Ding Xiang hesitated. If it is true that as long as you have tools and the "Stone Unlocking Technique", you can solve the problem, wouldn't everyone be able to solve it?
"Of course it's not that easy." Yan Chuang does not look down upon the profession of 'unlocking stones'. If he wants to be a 'unlocking stone master', he must not only have good tools but also be good at it, and not only must be proficient in the "Unlocking Stone Technique", in fact, the most important thing is experience——
What kind of rough stone should be used, whether dense or slow.
At what point and with what force, light or heavy.
A 'stone cracker' must first have a general or even a more detailed understanding of each rough stone that is about to be cracked. Only in this way can he be well aware of the stone and be able to cook it with ease.
Each of the masters in the "Stone Interpreter" has been honed in the process of interpreting stones for decades. They analyze stones day by day and ponder them nightly, so that they can do it quickly and well.
Yan Chuang is a beginner, but he is still far behind.
But he has one unique advantage——
"Teaching and Learning"!
…
"Stem Three: The head and shoulders are as strong as the heavenly stems, whichever is strong and pure."
"Kun Three: The feet and knees are as good as the Earth Kun, whichever is calmer and thicker."
"The combination of Yin and Yang makes the Qi flow to all four bodies, preparing the virtues of strong Qian, Kun and Shun. When it is still, Yin and Yang exist, and there is no trace visible or movement. It seems to be soft, but in fact it is hard. Hardness and softness interact with each other for no reason. It can be found. This means that yin and yang are combined with virtue, so they are taken from the universe."
…
From this day on, Yan Chuang studied the "Eighteen Ways to Unlock Stone" in his spare time. This is a prefecture-level secret book that is not cheap, and it is also considered to be the best in "The Art of Uncovering Stone".
Yan Chuang pondered in his spare time and wandered around the large and small rough stone markets in Golden Talisman City. He used the 'Second Level Purple Gold Hammer' and 'Fun Baoyan' to sense the second and third level gold runestones——
A second-level rough stone depends on its quality. It starts with 10 kilograms of fine stone, and there is no limit to how much it can go up. It can be less than thirty or fifty, or more. For example, at a glance, it looks like it can produce 'dual attributes', 'single attributes' or even ' The value of raw stones with mutated attribute 'gold runestones' can even reach one to two hundred or two to three hundred kilograms of fine stone.
The price of rough stones of the same grade fluctuates greatly.
Once the golden rune stones are opened, the price of the same level fluctuates greatly.
The second-level five-element mixed gold runestones can only sell for 100 kilograms of fine stone, but the five-element balanced ones can sell for a sky-high price of three to four thousand kilograms.
Yan Chuang wanders around, buying and selling every day. He buys more and sells less on the spot, but he can often make a difference of hundreds or even thousands of kilograms.
However, gambling on stones and making money are secondary.
Yan Chuang went around the rough stone market, in order to steal the skills. He often pointed fingers at the stone cutters when they were cutting stones for him, and used his half-baked "Eighteen Stone Cutting Skills" to instruct the senior stone cutters, which was very annoying. However, because the stones were cut by Yan Chuang himself, most stone cutters could tolerate it. Only a few with hot tempers could not bear it, but they could not afford to offend Yan Chuang, the innate god who showed it openly, so they could only hold their breath and cut stones silently.
Teaching and learning benefit each other.
With more or less continuous feedback, Yan Chuang's attainments in "Eighteen Stone-cutting Skills" have also been continuously deepened--
[Your "Eighteen Stone-cutting Skills" have been improved, the first level is just a beginner → the second level is just a glimpse of the way]
[Your "Eighteen Stone-cutting Skills" have been improved, the second level is just a glimpse of the way → the third level is advanced]
[Your "Eighteen Stone-cutting Skills" have been improved, the third level is advanced → the fourth level is slightly successful]
[Your "Eighteen Stone-cutting Skills" have been improved, the fourth level is slightly successful → the fifth level is integrated]
...
After ten days, it was easy to reach the fifth level.
At the same time, Yan Chuang hired someone to promote the opening of a "raw stone shop" and other complicated matters for him--
Find an address.
Rent a shop.
Register a shop.
Join the "Golden Talisman Guild".
Contact the source of goods.
Recruit stone cutters.
While Yan Chuang was gambling on stones and stealing skills in the raw stone market, in the Baisha Market, the largest raw stone market in the inner city of Jinfu City, among the hundreds of raw stone shops, some quietly closed down, while others opened grandly.
On the tenth day of the third month of the twelfth year of Hongwu in Dayan, the Baisha Raw Stone Market in the inner city of Jinfu City, the ‘Star Change Raw Stone Shop’ opened grandly. The owner of the shop and the chief stone cutter was an innate god general, codenamed ‘Meteor’ and named ‘Qin Yu’.
…
“It’s not easy!” Yan Chuang sat on the third floor of the ‘Star Change Raw Stone Shop’ and breathed a sigh of relief.
In this world, it is not easy for even an innate god general to make some money. Take him for example, he even cheated, but the process from ‘cheating’ to cashing in the essence stone is also full of twists and turns——
Because of “Fenbaoyan”, he went to find a suitable surprise soldier and finally bought the ‘Second-level·Heaven Collapse and Earth Sinking Purple Gold Hammer’.
Relying on the ‘Second-level·Heaven Collapse and Earth Sinking Purple Gold Hammer’, he swept a lot of raw stones that can stably produce second-level and third-level gold rune stones in various raw stone markets.
In order not to attract attention, Yan Chuang could only open the raw stones by himself, and for this purpose he bought the "Golden Talisman Hammer" and "Golden Talisman Chisel" and practiced the "Eighteen Stone Opening Skills".
In order to find a way out for the swept raw stones and the golden talisman stones after opening, Yan Chuang had to open a "raw stone shop" as a "money laundering channel".
Twists and turns.
A lot of trouble.
"It's really not easy." Yan Chuang sighed, and even the name of the shop was originally set to be "Xingchen", but it was already occupied, so he had to add a "change" word, which was a bit awkward.
But it doesn't matter.
The point is that this "Xingchen Change Raw Stone Shop" was finally opened, and for this, Yan Chuang almost put all his wealth into it, betting on the raw stones in the shop, and waiting for the opening to make money.
…
“Come, come, come!”
“Don’t miss the grand opening promotion of ‘Star Change Raw Stone Shop’ if you pass by. All first-level raw stones are sold at the same price, 1 jin a piece! 1 jin for all!”
“There are also second-level raw stones selected by the God General’s owner. Buy ten and you will definitely win one. If you don’t win, you will get a full refund!”
“Come, come! Take a look! Special price! Opening special price! You won’t lose or be fooled!”
…
Amid the crackling sound of firecrackers, ‘Star Change Raw Stone Shop’ opened with a bang, thanks to the strong opening activities, especially the price of 1 jin of fine stone for ‘first-level raw stones’ is too attractive.
This is a traffic-generating product. Yan Chuang doesn’t expect to make money from first-level raw stones at all.
The real money-makers are second-level and third-level raw stones.
"The average purchase price of a first-level rough stone is 0.95 jin of fine stone per piece. The first batch of 5,000 pieces was purchased, and the cost was 4,750."
"The average purchase price of a second-level rough stone is 9.2 jin of fine stone per piece. The first batch of 1,000 pieces was purchased, and the cost was 9,200."
"The average purchase price of a third-level rough stone is 89 jin of fine stone per piece. The first batch of 100 pieces was purchased, and the cost was 8,900."
Without the purchase of fourth-level rough stones, the purchase cost of Yan Chuang's shop has reached 22,850 jin of fine stone. With the remaining 12,000 jin of the balance, Yan Chuang's expenditure on these goods has exceeded 10,000 jin.
The annual rent for renting a shop is 1,620 jin of fine stone, and the deposit is 500 jin of fine stone.
The down payment for large quantities of goods is 10,000 jin of fine stone.
The small batch of selected full payment is 10,245 jin of fine stone.
Lend 1,550 jin of fine stone to Dingxiang.
The on-site stone cutting and payment is 42,272 jin of fine stone.
The interest of the fifth-level cornucopia is 1,000 jin of essence stones for ten days.
During ten days of cultivation in the God General's Courtyard, Yan Chuang refined 4,000 jin of essence and consumed 5,000 jin of essence stones. Wang Zhengyi's 'Monkey King clone' refined 800 jin of essence and consumed 1,000 jin of essence stones, and the total consumption of cultivation was 6,000 jin of essence stones.
As of ten days ago, Yan Chuang had 2 Yuandan and 3,530 jin of essence stones.
Now Yan Chuang only has 36,887 jin of essence stones left.
"36,887 jin of essence stones in cash."
"The balance of 12,600 jin of essence stones."
There are also the selected raw stones on Yan Chuang and the batch of first, second and third-level raw stones in the shop.
Yan Chuang's entire fortune is almost all here.
High cost!
High risk!
No wonder the raw stone shops in Jinfu City are not large in scale. Yan Chuang's 'Star Change Raw Stone Shop' is already a good-sized one.
"It's not easy to do business in Jinfu City."
"Brother Yan is a god general, he can deter the scoundrels and buy goods on credit."
"Even so, it takes tens of thousands of catties of fine stones to open such a shop, but whether it can make money is still a question."
'Raw stone business' is definitely a heavy asset, and the inventory is too serious. There are raw stones worth tens of thousands of catties of fine stones piled up in the store. If they can't be sold in a day, they can't get the money back in a day.
The sales pressure is too great.
In addition, there are labor costs, rental costs, tax costs, and so on. It's really hard to make money.
Fortunately--
…
"Increase!"
"Increase!"
"Increase again!"
The crowd in the 'Star Change Raw Stone Shop' was crowded, and everyone stretched their heads to watch the stone cutter cut the stone. A flash of golden light suddenly appeared, causing everyone to scream--
"Which piece is it?"
"The 404th second-level raw stone, the 58th piece produced gold!"
"Hiss! The gold yield rate is close to 15%! No wonder this 'Star Change Raw Stone Shop' dares to say that if it doesn't win, it will pay."
"The second-level raw stones in the venue are priced at 40 jin of refined stones. If you buy ten pieces of 400 jin at a time, you will definitely get a piece of gold, at least a second-level five-element mixed, worth 100 jin of refined stones."
