Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 42: Turn left when you go out, I won’t see you off until you die
Ban Yiluo was so furious.
He really wanted to tell Tang Zheng directly: Not for sale!
The martial arts in the Jubao Pavilion are numbered and there is no pirated copy.
If a family like Tangjiabao bought a set, they would definitely treasure it and pass it down from generation to generation!
But what did this guy say?
If you don’t practice, buy it and see!
It sounded so easy for him to say it. If he bought a copy, there would definitely be someone who couldn't get it. Could he be doing what was said in the legend, buying other people's martial arts and leaving them with no martial arts to buy?
Unfortunately, Jubao Pavilion has its own rules. It’s not like Ban Yilou can refuse to sell it just because he says so!
The items are already on the shelves, why not sell them?
"It's a ghost." Ban Yiluo blew his beard, set up the ladder, and started climbing up and down.
He took down the martial arts books one by one and put them aside.
He takes care of the Treasure Pavilion every day, and he basically remembers the type and location of every set of martial arts.
While Tang Zheng was waiting for him to find martial arts, he had been looking at the shelves of handwritten martial arts.
By covering it with perception, one can indeed feel that each handwritten martial arts book has a faint layer of star power fluctuations on it, which is very different from those engraved versions.
However, upon closer inspection, the degree of damage is actually worse than Ban Yilou said.
His set of "Dagger Techniques" has the first three volumes, which is almost the most complete set, no doubt about it!
Half of the martial arts books on the shelf were only two or three copies, and very few of them started from the first volume. The other half had only one copy lying there alone.
It is too common to see most of the works incomplete, such as "The Invisible Sword (III)" and "The Heavenly Harp (V)".
Tang was just about to look away when he caught a glimpse of a few words out of the corner of his eye - "Blood Shadow Escape Technique (III)"!
"Blood Shadow Escape Technique?" Tang Zheng suddenly remembered the martial arts book he found from the female assassin in Tang Family Castle.
The female assassin was seriously injured, but she was able to escape by relying on this set of martial arts!
Tang Zheng would never forget the blood-red meteor in the night sky.
That speed was so fast that even his footwork couldn't catch up!
"Teacher, teacher!" Tang Zheng quickly called Ban Yiluo over.
"What's wrong?" Ban Yilou saw him looking at the hand-copied martial arts, "There probably isn't anything suitable for you there."
"No, no, no." Tang Zheng pointed at the Blood Shadow Escape Skills book, "This martial arts book only has the third volume?"
"Since there is only the third volume here, then there is only the third volume..." Ban Yilou looked at it carefully, "Oh... a footwork-related martial arts technique that is not limited to weapons, it is indeed rare."
"I have the first volume of this martial arts!" Tang Zheng said, "But it has already been used by someone."
The biggest advantage of hand-copied martial arts is the star power guidance and hands-on teaching!
However, the hand-copied martial arts that have been used basically do not have this guiding effect.
"Repair the guiding formation of the handwritten martial arts?" Ban Yiluo put the martial arts book back on the shelf. "That's not something that ordinary people can do! As far as I know, all the handwritten martial arts in Jubao Pavilion were repaired by the same person..."
"Oh?" Tang Zheng asked, "Who is it? Where is it?"
"Don't even think about it. It's too far away to easily meet the eldest daughter of the Wenhua family, Wen Jing!" Ban Yilou waved his hand. "Besides, your martial arts set is missing the second volume, so it's basically useless."
"Okay. Got it." Tang Zheng took out the third volume of "Blood Shadow Escape Technique" and put it in the pile of martial arts found by Ban Yiluo.
Ban Yiluo looked at the pile of books and his face twitched again.
Martial arts related to daggers are much fewer than other martial arts. Among tens of thousands of martial arts, sword skills are the most, while there are only more than 200 dagger-related martial arts. In addition, Tang Zheng specifically pointed out that the first life palace must be the Sun or the Moon, which reduces the number by another nine out of ten!
But even so, more than 20 sets were moved out in the end.
"Is that all? Is that all?" Tang Zheng asked, looking at the pile of martial arts.
"We don't have many dagger skills here!" Ban Yiluo said the word "not many" with gritted teeth.
"Then where are there more?" Tang Zheng asked stubbornly .
"Kageyama!" Ban Yiluo said angrily.
For a set of precious martial arts worth twenty or thirty taels of purple gold, no matter who it is, one will carefully consider and choose it, consult opinions from all parties, and after making the selection, go back and discuss it with family and friends for a few days, and may not decide to buy it in the end.
But this damn old man...
I asked for more than twenty sets at once, and he still thought it was not enough!
"Don't worry about the money for me!" Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"Fuck! I feel sorry for these books!" Ban Yilou roared, blowing his beard.
Ban Yiluo suddenly felt very painful and didn't want to talk to him anymore. He buried his head in calculating the price.
However, after the calculation, he felt even more painful.
The cheapest set costs four taels of purple gold, the highest set costs as much as one hundred and twenty taels of purple gold, and most of them cost about twenty to thirty taels of gold. All in all, a total of six hundred and eighty taels of purple gold are needed!
"Do you really want it?" Ban Yiluo really hoped that he didn't bring enough money.
"Yes, I want it." Tang Zheng brought seven pieces of purple gold today, which was equivalent to more than one thousand taels of purple gold Tongbao, plus the more than one hundred taels left from last time. He spent more than three hundred on snacks and other things just now. After buying these martial arts books, he had more than one hundred taels left.
He didn't even look at Ban Yiluo's devastated face, and turned to the weapons with a smile.
…
The inner cabinet of Jubao Pavilion has more martial arts than the outer cabinet, but not weapons.
Among the eighteen kinds of weapons, there are basically only one or two, or two or three.
However, compared to the swords hanging out on the shelves in the outer chamber, the weapons here are obviously more sophisticated.
There are also not many daggers, only three in total.
The first one was a pure black dagger. It was almost weightless when held in the hand. Tang Zheng casually swung it twice, but there was no sound at all.
"This dagger is called 'White Zetsu', it is usable at three stars, and the star power resonance degree is as high as seventy-four." Ban Yilou introduced.
"Star power resonance?"
"The quality of a weapon depends entirely on its resonance. Weapons with high resonance can easily extend the star power, while weapons with low resonance are extremely difficult to use!"
"Yeah." Tang Zheng nodded, stroking the formation engraved on the dagger, "Who made it?"
"..." Ban Yilou's face froze , "Bai Lian Fang."
Tang Zheng hummed: "Samsung, I can't use it."
As he spoke, he picked up the second dagger.
This dagger is completely transparent, and I don't know what material it is made of. Although it is not light in the hand, it feels very good to hold, and it is also usable as a one-star dagger.
"Well, this one is 'Falling Breath', one star is available, and the star power resonance degree is 69, which is not low."
"Not bad." Tang Zheng glanced at the price, "Only one hundred and fifteen taels of purple gold?"
"..."Ban Yiluo's three views have become a little vague.
“Who built it?”
"Bai...Lian...Fang!" Ban Yiluo's teeth were chattering.
Tang Zheng shook his head and his eyes fell on the third dagger.
There is basically no need to consider the third dagger, as it can only be used if it is five-star, so Ban Yiluo did not even introduce it.
Tang Zhengting asked again with interest : "Who made this?"
"Get out of here!" Ban Yilou never wanted to say the word Bailianfang again.
“Hahahahahaha.” Tang Zheng patted the old man on the back to help him calm down. “Okay, okay, I get it.”
"Know what?"
"To buy weapons, just go to Bailianfang!"
Mr. Ban looked strange: "You want to go to Bailianfang?"
Tang Zheng blinked: "Is there a problem?"
"No... no problem... absolutely no problem!" Ban Yiluo's eyes flashed with a gleam of gloating. "Bai Lian Fang is on the left side of East Street. It opens early in the morning and closes at noon. If you want to go, remember to get up early tomorrow!"
"..." Tang Zheng looked at Ban Yilou's expression and felt that there was something wrong.
"Is there anything else you need?" Ban Yilou's mood suddenly improved for some reason, and he asked with a smile.
"there is none left."
"Then wait... Oh no, take care. I'm an old man, so I won't see you off!" Ban Yiluo happily led him out of the cabinet. His brisk steps didn't look like that of an old man at all.
