Chapter 1298 Painful Giving Up
After some calculations, Qingyang said to Zhenjun Chiye: "Senior, I have prepared the underworld stone and can deliver it at any time. I wonder when the refining can start?"
Zhenjun Chiye calculated: "The auxiliary materials of your gourd are difficult to prepare. It takes almost three days to prepare. After three days, the furnace can be started for refining. This space gourd is more difficult to refine and takes more time. It won’t be too long actually, three months should be enough.”
When Zhenjun Shi Han helped Qingyang refine the magic weapon, it took several months just to prepare the materials. On the one hand, it was related to the large number of Qingyang's magic weapons and high requirements. On the other hand, Master Shi Han himself did not have the required people. and materials need to be purchased in Jiuxian City.
Zhenjun Chiye is different. As the leading weapon refining master in the entire Chujiang City, he has his own special shop and has many disciples and disciples who need to practice, so he has the most complete auxiliary materials for various weapon refining around him. , even if the gourd Qingyang took out is relatively unpopular, he should be able to collect most of it. The remaining scattered materials only need to be purchased in Chujiang City, so there is no problem in three days of preparation time.
As for refining the weapon, as Zhenjun Chiye said, this space gourd is more difficult to refine. Since this is not a problem for Zhenjun Chiye, three months is enough to refine the gourd, not to mention him. His eldest disciple, Yuan Zhuzhenren, was standing by to help.
The efficiency of Zhenjun Chiye is so high, which is somewhat beyond Qingyang's expectation. He originally thought that he would have to stay here for at least half a year, but now he heard what the other party said, and he can leave in three months. In this way, this The quota of 17,000 Hades Stones is quite worth it.
After that, Qingyang handed over the prepared 60,000 underworld stones to Zhenjun Chiye. Zhenjun Chiye asked his apprentice Yuanzhu Zhenren to arrange a place for Qingyang while he prepared the materials himself.
Qingyang was a little worried about handing over such a valuable thing to the other party. He wanted to go and have a look, but unfortunately Lord Chiye wouldn't let him.
In fact, this is normal. Even Qingyang Alchemy doesn't like to be watched. People like Zhenjun Chiye who are more disciplined are naturally more taboo about this. However, looking at Zhenjun Chiye's situation, it doesn't seem like it. Qingyang stopped worrying about the idea of getting rid of his own things, and then followed Master Yuan Zhu to a courtyard not far from here and settled down.
In the next two or three months, Qingyang has been in seclusion in this courtyard and has almost never gone out. First, this is other people's territory after all, and it would be bad if he runs around and arouses other people's taboos. Second, he has something wrong in his heart. , I am not in the mood to go out and wander around, not to mention there is nothing to wander around.
But even if he was practicing in seclusion, Qingyang was still a little absent-minded. After all, it was a space gourd worth hundreds of thousands of underworld stones. How could he not be worried before he got it in his hands? But no matter how difficult it is, you must continue to persevere. Zhenjun Chiye said it will take three months, and he will definitely not be able to get out in a short time. However, in this case, the effect of Qingyang's cultivation will definitely not be much better.
Seeing that the three-month period was coming soon, Qingyang couldn't sit still. However, there was no news from Zhenjun Chiye yet, so he could only continue to wait patiently. After waiting for another two days, Zhenjun Chiye's The eldest disciple Yuanzhu Zhenren finally came to the door. Chiye Zhenjun asked Yuanzhu Zhenren to help him before. Now Yuanzhu Zhenren has come out of seclusion. It seems that the space gourd has been made.
Qingyang let Master Yuanzhu into the room. After both parties sat down, Master Yuanzhu just looked at Qingyang expressionlessly, but did not speak for a long time. Seeing this situation, Qingyang's heart, which was originally full of joy, suddenly stopped. The child sank. Master Yuan Zhu's appearance was a bit abnormal. Could it be that the refining of the weapon did not go smoothly this time and that there was something wrong with the space gourd?
So he asked tentatively: "Master Yuan Zhu, has the space gourd been refined?"
"It's done." Master Yuan Zhu said expressionlessly.
Now that you've finished practicing, why don't you say anything when you enter the house, and why do you have to take the initiative to ask? It's not like their master and apprentice are interested in making money and plan to use their space gourd, right?
In fact, Qingyang had considered this possibility before, but he didn't know how to refine weapons, and the only weapon refiner he knew was Master Shi Han. He didn't know that he was verifying it now, and Master Shi Han might not have the skill to refine weapons. This Chi Ye Zhenjun is high, so this space gourd must be refined by someone else, and no matter who you find to refine it, you have to take this risk, and this may be the result.
In the end, Qingyang decided to find Zhenjun Chiye. On the one hand, he saw that he had a great reputation in Chujiang City, and he felt that this person was more principled and would not do anything that would damage his reputation. On the other hand, because Zhenjun Chiye Your cultivation level is only at the second level of Nascent Soul, so Qingyang is not afraid of trouble.
Of course, it is just a guess now and further confirmation is needed, so Qingyang asked again: "So Master Yuanzhu is here to ask me to deliver the space gourd?"
This time Master Yuan Zhu didn't even say anything, he just shook his head.
"Since the treasure has been prepared, why not deliver it in time?" Qingyang asked.
Master Yuan Zhu said: "How about we discuss it?"
Qingyang said patiently: "I wonder what you want to discuss?"
Master Yuan Zhu said: "The space gourd has indeed been made, but my master likes it very much, so I would like to ask fellow Taoist Qingyang to bear the pain and give it up. I will not treat you badly in terms of price. The main material of your gourd is worth about 40,000 underworld stones. It will be auctioned." The quota for refining the weapon cost 17,000 Netherstones. Three months ago, I paid another 60,000 Netherstones for auxiliary materials and my master's weapon refining reward. The total is less than 120,000 Netherstones. Now I will round up the whole number and give it to you. 120,000 Hades Stones, what do you think?”
According to Yuan Zhu Zhenren's calculation, this price is not a loss, but the other party did not consider the rarity of this space gourd. Not to mention that there is only one in the world of immortal cultivation, at least so many cultivators in Chujiang City have never seen it. How can this thing be measured by the Nether Stone? Moreover, Yuan Zhu Zhenren did not consider the price Qingyang paid for it. In order to refine this space gourd, he stayed here for more than three months and participated in the auction to bid for the quota. I don't know how much energy he spent. If he needed the Nether Stone, he would directly auction the gourd. Why would he prepare so hard for so long?
Yuan Zhu Zhenren said this directly. To put it bluntly, he was using his power to pressure others. He felt that Qingyang was just an ordinary Jindan cultivator and had no identity background. Not to mention his master Chi Ye Zhenjun who had the cultivation level of Yuanying, even his own Jindan Perfection cultivation level was much higher than Qingyang's Jindan Nine Levels. He felt that as long as he forced him a little, Qingyang should retreat. What's more, he promised to give a seemingly fair price, so he had a way out.
