C25 Five Thousand Taels of Silver!

From the looks of it, refining the Cold Iron not only increased the income of the family, but also gave a huge help to his own cultivation. However, Ye Feii was disappointed because the Cold Stone's cold energy was already supplied to the Cold Iron, so the cold energy was still unable to enter the body and could not be refined.

Of course! This was only a temporary method. After all, the main thing now was to first get money back to Manager Ma so that he could solve the problem he faced later. As for training, there was going to be a long way in the future!

The Martial Treasure Pavilion was located to the east of the Xueyang City. The area was somewhat remote and surrounded by manors belonging to large families.

As a member of the Black Tortoise Family's Han Family, weapons, medicinal ingredients, medicinal pellets, and so on, they were all indispensable. Amongst them, the Martial Treasure Pavilion mainly sold weapons and even some rare treasures. As a result, there were very few people who usually came.

"Sir, may I ask what you need?" Looking at the yellow-faced, skinny man wearing black clothes and a black cloak that covered his face entering the store, the shop assistant behind the counter immediately welcomed him with a smile.

Normally, the people who came in and out were only a few Profound Practitioners, and there were very few ordinary people who came in and out. Thus, the shop assistant did not dare to offend him.

"We are here to sell iron!" The young man said very calmly.

"What?" Selling iron? " The shop assistant was also shocked. His expression was dejected, and the respect in his eyes completely disappeared.

Normally, many people would come to the Martial Treasure Tower to sell iron ores. After all, iron ore was an essential part of the weapon trade. However, most of these people were poor and needy.

"Alright then!" Tell me how much you sell it for. "However, iron depends on the composition. The lower the composition, the lower the price." The shop assistant said in disdain. On a closer look, although this person was mysterious, the clothes he wore were shabby, making him look like a poor person.

"Hm!" I know that. " The young man smiled, nodded, and reached into his bosom for his iron.

But the fellow noticed something was wrong. I told you to bring the iron out, what are you going to do with it?

"Hey!" Since you are here to sell iron? Where's your iron? " The shop assistant was getting angry.

"Here, isn't this?" The young man took out a piece of iron the size of a fist from his bosom. However, the moment the lump of metal was about to appear, a cold wind shot through the entire hall. The entire hall turned cold.

At first, the shop assistant thought that this brat was playing with him, but when he took out the lump of metal, a cold white light shone out. He was stupefied, and his eyes were fixed on that lump of iron.

"This... This is the Cold Iron … "

The shop assistant let out a loud and strange cry, his face completely red. Anxiously, he ran toward the back door of the shop.

Soon, two people walked out of the Martial Treasure Pavilion. One was the little fellow from before, while the other was an old man over a hundred years old.

Manager Zhang heard from the shop assistant that someone was selling Cold Iron, so he ran over quickly.

Maybe other people might not know the importance of Cold Iron, but as a Martial Treasure Pavilion who only sold weapons for a living, how could they not know about it. Cold Iron could only be found by chance and not sought after, even by those big families. Furthermore, because of the unique characteristics of Cold Iron, adding a certain number of Cold Iron into the weapon could raise the quality of the weapon by several levels.

"This guest, the Cold Iron in your hands?"

Manager Zhang ran in front of the counter and immediately looked at the mysterious man with a smile of anticipation.

With a mysterious smile, he walked forward and said: "Manager Zhang, it's like this. A few days ago, I happened to stumble upon a piece of Cold Iron, and today, I wanted to exchange it for some money. How much do you think these Cold Iron can be exchanged for? "

After all, the east city was the domain of Han Family, and many people were familiar with Manager Zhang.

As he was speaking, the mysterious man took out a lump of iron that exuded a cold aura and gave off a white light.

Not only was the Cold Iron formed by the condensation of iron essence, it was also refined by the Cold Energy, so its composition was very high. Although it was only the size of a small fist, it still had a certain amount of weight.

"Sure, sure!" Manager Zhang took the cold Cold Iron happily. As expected, when his hand came in contact with the Cold Iron, a wave of cold air assaulted him. Furthermore, the Cold Iron's weight was not light either, which surprised Manager Zhang.

This weight represented the weight of a person. It was small in size and heavy in weight. This meant that the mineral content was extremely high.

"Good iron, it really is good iron." Whoosh! The air was cold and the quality was high. Not bad, not bad! Customer, name your price! " Manager Zhang looked at the Cold Iron in his hand in joy. From what he had seen for many years, this piece of Cold Iron was definitely the best.

Hearing this, the mysterious man was overjoyed. He immediately cupped his fists and said: "Manager Zhang, this is not our first time doing business, please name a price! This is also good for me to think about. "

The mysterious man was also a smart person, so the price of the Cold Iron was naturally very high. However, he had no idea how much the other party would sell them for, so he had to find out their bottom line.

However, what he said sounded different to Manager Zhang. Judging from this person's expression, it was obvious that he was going to ask about a few stores. Because of the unsatisfactory price, he transferred it to his store.

"Haha!" Young Master is truly a straightforward person. Fine! I'll give you a reasonable price. Young Master, please think twice! " Manager Zhang immediately laughed to prevent the man from turning around to leave, "How about this! This old man thinks that the quality of iron is pretty good. How about three thousand silver? "

"Three thousand taels?"

The mysterious man was shocked and immediately fell into silence.

Originally, according to the mysterious man's thoughts. If this Cold Iron was sold for 300 taels of silver, it would be astronomical, but the shopkeeper asked for 3,000 taels. That scared him.

Seeing this person's appearance, Manager Zhang thought that the price was too low and couldn't help but to wipe his cold sweat. He was afraid that the person would leave with the Cold Iron and immediately said anxiously: "Gongzi, this price is already not low. How about this... This little one will add another thousand taels, four thousand taels, how about that? "

Manager Zhang asked tentatively. With his many years of experience. Forget about four thousand, even if the Cold Iron was processed, it would sell for forty thousand.

The mysterious man was silent and pondered for a moment. His face was alternating between red and white.

Seeing that the person did not say anything, Manager Zhang finally could not take it anymore, and said painfully: "Gongzi, say something! I sincerely want to buy the Cold Iron in your hands! Sigh! Five thousand silver is my bottom line, one extra point. This old man can't afford it. What do you think? "

Manager Zhang felt uncomfortable. This was a psychological war. He didn't want to lose such a good item. No matter how expensive it was, it was worth it. However, in order to make a profit, he had to pretend that he was pitiful. This series of words caused the mysterious cultivator to shiver. After coming back to his senses, his face was completely red. He laughed loudly and said, "Five thousand taels of silver is a deal!"

The mysterious man also didn't think that there would be such a small piece of Cold Iron. He had exchanged it for five thousand taels of silver? Even in Blood Sun City, a family of five thousand taels of silver was considered wealthy.

Seeing the man agree, Manager Zhang immediately laughed out loud: "Hehe! Sir, you're really straightforward. Then I'll take five thousand taels! "

"Sir, do you want silver or banknotes?" Manager Zhang immediately smiled apologetically.

Silver was a common currency in the Heavenly Profound Continent, but silver was large in size and heavy in weight. It's hard to carry around. So when trading with the various Grand Merchant, in order to avoid needing to carry a large amount of silver with them, they had to create banknotes with their combined strength. In the beginning, the silver bills only circulated among the higher-ups of the various Grand Merchant s and even the Empire, but after many years, they gradually flowed among the commoners.

"banknotes!"

The mysterious man said. If five thousand silver taels were exchanged for cash, there would be at least two boxes full of silver. He couldn't possibly carry two big boxes of silver taels on his back on the streets.

Manager Zhang immediately laughed when he heard that. Very quickly, he took out a total of ten banknotes from his sleeve that had been sealed by different Grand Merchant lines. He respectfully pushed them in front of the man and said: "Sir, five hundred silvers apiece, for a total of five thousand silvers. Please, sir, count. Next time if Mister still has another Cold Iron, this old one will take it all in. "

"Yes!" The mysterious man took the banknotes and gave them a quick glance before stuffing them into his pocket. He turned around and walked out of the Martial Treasure Pavilion.

"Sir, take care!"

Manager Zhang clasped his hands behind him with his red face, feeling really happy. Today, he used five thousand taels of silver to buy a piece of Cold Iron.

"Manager Zhang, why are you laughing so happily!"

The mysterious person had walked for less than five minutes, but Manager Zhang's mood had yet to return to normal. At this time, at the door, a tall and sturdy old man who was about sixty years old appeared. This old man wore a set of Han Family clothing, and although it was a servant's clothing, it was much more expensive than an ordinary servant's clothing.

"Yo!" "So it's Elder Lua. Come on, please come in!" Seeing that person, Manager Zhang didn't dare to be negligent at all. He immediately walked out respectfully. Although he did not have much authority in the family, and had only followed beside the Patriarch, there was no doubt that this person's authority was extremely important.

"Hehe!" Manager Zhang, how's business at the Martial Treasure Pavilion recently? " Elder Lua laughed heartily as he followed and sat down in an armchair beside him.

"Heh heh!" Elder Lua Jiyan, speaking of business. This humble one has made a huge profit today! " At this point, Manager Zhang's face turned red with excitement. If he bought a piece of Cold Iron at a low price, it would be worth it even if he put it in Han Family! After all, a Black Tortoise Family like the Han Family needed their own weapons.

"Oh?"

Elder Lua raised his eyebrows. Manager Zhang was not going to be the shopkeeper of the Martial Treasure Pavilion for one or two years. Since in his eyes, it was called making a huge profit, then it was definitely not a small profit.

Manager Zhang smiled mysteriously. He turned around and took out a lump of metal that was glowing with a cold light from behind the counter. He laughed and said: "Elder Lua, this is a piece of Cold Iron that I just bought. The content of this Cold Iron reached at least seventy percent. Furthermore... I only used five thousand silver to buy it. "If you can sell it, you can earn at least sixty to eighty thousand silver taels."

"Cold Iron?"

He had followed by the side of the Patriarch of Han Family for so many years, and his knowledge was broad as well. He had naturally seen a lot of Cold Iron. However, these Cold Iron were at most forty to fifty percent cold, and sixty percent strong. And the price was simply sky-high. On the other hand, Manager Zhang only used five thousand taels of silver to purchase a seven percent cold Cold Iron.

Elder Lua caught the Cold Iron. Because it was fast, he did not prepare ahead of time. It caused his palm to tremble.

"Such a cold character?"

Elder Lua's expression changed. His murky eyes stared at the Cold Iron and said in shock: "This coldness is so pure, it doesn't seem like it was born from the heavens and the earth. It was refined out …"
