Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 71 If I don't kill you, I'll be sorry for you
Ban Yiluo's words shocked Tang Zheng greatly.
Originally, he just wanted to infer Lan Shaoze's current financial resources from the shopping list, but he didn't expect to get such information!
Ban Yilou told him that there were three types of craftsmanship for accessories that aided in cultivation: relief engraving, clear engraving and dark engraving.
Most craftsmen use relief carving. For clear carving, the Yaoshan tribe needs to process the jade first, and then hand it over to the Bailianfang for engraving. The craft of hidden carving has been lost, and only on some ornaments handed down from generation to generation can some hidden carving techniques be seen.
Lan Yanyi wants to buy these materials, so who wants to repair the Yuhua Seal?
Of course it’s Lan Shaoze!
"The power of the Rain Flower Seal to assist cultivation should be very strong, right?" Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, very surprised to hear that Lan Shaoze had a secret pendant inheritance in his hands.
"Of course!" Ban Yilou replied, "The Rain Flower Seal uses the wasteland rain flower stone stained with at least twelve different kinds of blood as its base, extracts the star veins of the three-star monster race and uses them to carve the array, and uses the most advanced dark carving techniques... Hundreds of years ago, the Qinling Academy of the Tianqin family used the Rain Flower Seal as a graduation gift for the top ten graduates each year! The graduation gifts from the academy of a top family are certainly not ordinary things!"
"How does it compare to my purple jade true phoenix pendant?" Tang Zheng asked.
"The Purple Jade True Luan Pendant is already a fine piece of Qing-carved jewelry, but it certainly can't compare to the dark-carved jewelry!" Ban Yilou shook his head and said, "Take a one-star warrior for example. Generally, it takes at least ten days to cultivate a hundred strands of star power. If you wear the Purple Jade True Luan Pendant, this time can be saved by half. If you wear the Rain Flower Seal, you may be able to do it in one or two days!"
Tang Zheng frowned slightly.
It seemed that by wearing the Purple Jade True Luan Pendant, he could cultivate a hundred strands of star power in just a day or two.
While he was thinking this, Ban Yilou added, "Of course, I'm only talking about the general situation. Everyone's star cultivation speed is different. Different constellations, introduced main stars, and even age will have some influence. For example, for a one-star warrior under the age of twelve, if he can cultivate a hundred strands of star power in a month, it is considered very good!"
Tang Zheng glanced at the list in his hand again and asked, "If I can get the Yuhua Seal, I can buy these materials to repair it?"
Ban Yilou glanced at him and said, "No one would sell the secret treasures. You don't even have to think about it!"
"Let's try it?" Tang Zheng replied with a smile.
"Well, even if you can get it, you can't just buy the materials and repair it directly..." Ban Yilou snorted, "You still have to go to Bailianfang to find a way to repair it in secret!"
Tang Zheng looked at Ban Yilou's expression and it was obvious that he didn't want to mention the three words "Bai Lian Fang".
He shrugged, went into the Treasure Pavilion, and said with a smile: "No hurry, wait until I get it."
"Well, do you want these materials ?" Ban Yiluo pointed at the list.
"Of course." Tang Zheng was not short of money anyway, so he bought it first to avoid having to wait when he needed it.
"If you are sure you want it, just pay the deposit and I will go to arrange the goods."
"Pay in full." Tang Zheng directly handed the bag containing the purple gold Tongbao on the counter to Ban Yilou.
Tangjiabao's purchasing activities are in full swing, and Tang Xiaotang and the others are so busy that they have lost their direction.
Ban Yiluo remained calm. He watched them empty out the shelves in the cabinet one by one without saying anything. His eyes would only twitch slightly occasionally when he saw them taking out one or two items that were difficult to restock.
Tang Zheng was practicing martial arts next to the counter, with strands of one-star power constantly emerging from his body...
When I felt tired and needed a rest, I would sit next to the counter and listen to Ban Yiluo’s lecture on casting.
When talking about a new point, Tang Zheng picked up another piece of colorful silk and processed it. Ban Yilou looked at his processing speed and couldn't help but look up: "Your star power..."
"One thousand three hundred strands!" Tang Zheng answered indifferently.
"How is that possible?" Ban Yiluo looked at him up and down.
Even though he is in his twenties now and can cultivate one star power faster, even though he has a good ornament like the Purple Jade True Luan Pendant, and even though he has the help of Heze Wan, this speed is still a bit too fast.
At Tang Zheng's speed, he can reach the high-level one-star in less than half a month!
This is very different from Ban Yiluo's prediction.
"Either you are extremely talented, or you have found some special method?" Ban Yiluo asked.
"Of course...I often help old ladies cross the road and have accumulated good luck!" Tang Zheng smiled, revealing his white teeth.
"..."Ban Yiluo didn't understand what he was saying at all.
Tang Zheng had a good idea about the speed of star power cultivation - if the Purple Jade True Luan Pendant and the Brown Ze Pill could both increase the speed of star power cultivation, then when he practiced the "Dagger Technique", he changed the star power that was generated one strand at a time into two strands at a time, which was equivalent to directly doubling the experience!
How could it not be fast?
However, Tang Zheng himself was not satisfied: "It's still too slow..."
Not only was he unable to satisfy the speed of cultivating his star power, but more importantly, he did not have a species called a "skill mentor", which made the practice of his martial arts even more difficult.
Ban Yilou rolled his eyes and pushed all the things in front of him to Tang Zheng: "Well, once you have processed the last bit of material, you can start casting!"
Tang Zheng chuckled and took two steps away: "I will continue to cultivate my star power, and you continue to process the materials..."
Ban Yiluo grabbed a new vase on the counter and threw it over: "Did you make a bet with Bailianfang, or did I make a bet with Bailianfang?"
Tang Zheng pretended not to hear anything and continued to gather the star power in strands...
The day passed quickly, and the children of Tangjiabao were all grinning from ear to ear with their earnings. All the way back to Xinglai Inn, they were still excitedly discussing what they had sold.
"If we make more money in a few days, we can buy out almost all the shops on West Street!"
"Well, maybe there's still some left. I wonder if it's enough for Xiaotang to take the entrance exam for Yisu Academy..."
"If we can make a little more money, we can move Tangjiabao to a city farther away from the border!"
The children of Tangjiabao were in the carriage, dancing with joy as they planned the future of Tangjiabao, all with a look of anticipation on their faces.
Of course, they have not forgotten who brought all this to them.
"We should first buy a big house with a yard for the Master, and it would be better if we could buy a few beauties from the Yaoshan tribe..." Tang Xuan said.
"Well, but... the master doesn't seem to be short of money. He may not like these things if you buy them for him." Tang Zi said evilly.
"Then what should we do?" Tang Xiaotang asked.
"Have you found the person who assassinated the Master?" Tang Xuan asked Tang Zixie, "I think the best gift for the Master is the head of the culprit who caused him to be attacked time and time again!"
"We already have a clue. Our people found traces of a group of bandits in the valley of Longding Mountain. If we wait a little longer, we should get some news!" Tang Zixie said.
Tang Xuan and Tang Xiaotang both nodded.
Tang Xuan thought of something else: "It's strange, but these past two days, the people in Wulong Town seemed to be looking at us with a bit more awe..."
Tang Xiaotang nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes, there are people who want to invite our family as 'guests' for dinner or something like that, it's so weird."
The night gradually darkened.
The carriages lined up in a row, carrying the laughter of young boys and girls, drove towards the Xinglai Inn on the East Street of Wulong Town.
…
Tang Zheng returned to the room, took out the shopping list from his pocket, folded it, and put it in the martial arts book "Dagger Secret" as a bookmark.
"Rain Flower Seal... Rain Flower Seal..." Tang Zheng silently repeated the name of the pendant several times. "How did this precious item, which was given as a graduation gift by the Qinling Academy of the Tianqin family, end up in the hands of Yinlan Villa?"
Even though it's just a damaged one, it shouldn't have been thrown away casually, right?
No matter what, they are all engraved pendants that will be gone if one is broken!
"Lan Shaoze... two stars, right?" Tang Zheng closed the Dagger Secret and muttered to himself in words that only he could understand. "I thought it was just a quest monster with a reputation value of 'hatred', but I didn't expect it to be a small boss that drops items!"
The reputation value is negative, but there are still drops when killed...
Taking the two situations into consideration, Tang Zheng would feel a little bit reluctant if he didn't kill him.
"If I don't kill you, I'll be destroying the meaning of your existence!" Tang Zheng said with a smile.
However, the opponent's strength is only two stars, and he has the entire Yinlan Villa behind him. How easy is it to kill him?
Tang Zheng put the "Dagger Technique" back under the pillow and slowly stood up.
He did not forget that the ghost grandfather beside Azhi told him in the morning to come over after he returned to the inn.
In the morning, when Azhi mentioned the "blood attraction" left on them by Feng Le's astrological talent, Ghost Grandpa did not let him continue. He asked Tang Zheng to come over in the evening, probably because he wanted to talk about this matter.
"If Grandpa Ghost can speak, it must be a big deal!" Tang Zheng took a few bites and went straight to Ah Zhi and the others...
