"Of course, of course it's too expensive."
Fat Old Man glared fiercely at him with his pair of small eyes, "200 gold coins, that's the price of a low-level weapon. Little Tang, your weapon is just an ordinary no-level weapon."
"Since that's the case, why are you still dragging me along?"
Tang Huan curled his lips and glanced at Fat Old Man's right hand.
Fat Old Man's face reddened and he smiled, but he did not loosen his grip. After that, with a constipated expression, he gritted his teeth and said: "Little Tang, I'll take another step. Fifty!"
"Two hundred!"
Tang Huan's tone did not soften.
He was very familiar with this Fat Old Man, and upon seeing his expression, he knew that there was hope. If this miser could not accept his price, he would have let him go long ago.
"A hundred! It couldn't be any higher! This is the price for ordinary low-level weapons! "
"Old Fatty, is an ordinary low-level weapon comparable to these swords? Two hundred! "
"Alright, alright, one hundred and twenty!"
"Two hundred! Old Fatty, how about you go get a low-level weapon and use mine to slash at it? Let's see if it's more powerful or if my sword is. "
"How can I do that? If I cut your sword, I won't feel right. Little Tang, I really gave in for the last time, one hundred and fifty! "
"One hundred and eighty!"
“One hundred and eighty, I can't raise the price anymore. I would suffer a loss even at this price."
"Old Fatty, how about we forget about it? You and my master are old friends, so you can be considered to be my elder. How can I let you lose money? I’ll go, I’ll go."
"No, no, one hundred and eighty...one hundred and eighty! Deal!"
"..."
Not long after, Tang Huan carried a bag of gold and walked out happily.
Inside the shop, the Fat Old Man who looked upset as if he lost his parents at first, turned his gloomy face to a happy face the moment Tang Huan left and his fat face smiled like a flower. He immediately pulled out the three swords one by one and a complacent look appeared on his face, like a fox who had managed to steal a chicken.
"Boss, three ordinary swords cost five hundred and forty gold coins. This is too much of a loss." The shop assistant who was dumbstruck as he watched at the side, finally regained his senses and couldn't help but ask. Five hundred and forty gold coins were enough to buy a very good low-level weapon.
"You don't know anything!"
The Fat Old Man snorted without raising his head, after looking carefully for a while, he carefully sheathed the three swords back into their scabbards, and then waved towards the assistant, "Come here, put them on the shelves. Each sword marks a price of three hundred. No, four hundred gold coins!"
"Four... Four hundred? " The shop assistant stammered, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "Boss, this ...Can it be sold?"
"Nonsense, why did I buy them if I can't sell them? Hurry up."
"Oh."
The shop assistant took the sword with a skeptical look, and Fat Old Man looked outside at where Tang Huan had disappeared, muttering with suspicion, "It's been a while since I last saw him, not only did he connect three Spiritual Meridians, his forging skills have increased by countless folds, and the normal weapons he forged are actually not one bit inferior to average low-level weapons. If he were to fuse the True Fire and become a Weapon Refiner, wouldn't the weapons forged by him become even more outstanding? "
"This brat just forged three of these sharp swords and he immediately sold them. Could it be that he wants to buy True Fire?"
Fat Old Man frowned, his fat face suddenly turned serious, "more than 500 gold coins is just enough to buy a ball of True Fire. However, the process of fusing with the True Fire was extremely dangerous, and was not an easy task. This brat just became a Stage One Martial Disciple and yet he recklessly wants to fuse with the True Fire. If anything happens to him, I can't account it to that Old Man Ou ... "
... ....
The Star Ocean Weapon Shop was the biggest weapon shop in the entire Furious Waves City.
Compared to it, the small weapon store of the Fat Old Man was not worth mentioning. Whether it was in terms of scale or the types of weapons sold, the two could not be compared.
This Star Ocean Weapon Shop was established by the Star Ocean Commerce.
Star Ocean Commerce's power was enormous, and selling weapons was just one of the many main businesses run by it. Almost all of the large and medium-sized towns in the Glory Continent had different branch shops that belonged to it.
Star Ocean Commerce had a long history, and it was said that it had existed for over a thousand years. They had been doing business with integrity and honesty. In the Glory Continent, every shop that belonged to Star Ocean Commerce would have outstanding reputation. Regardless of whether they wanted to buy or sell, shops of the Star Ocean Commerce were always the first choice.
Just like the Star Ocean Weapon Shop in Furious Waves City, from morning to night, there were always customers.
When Tang Huan brought the gold coins to the front of the store, he saw a bustling scene, with many Martial Warriors going in and out of the shop in an endless stream.
Taking a light breath, Tang Huan followed the few figures into the shop.
This weapon shop had a total of three floors. The first floor sold all sorts of low-level weapons, the second floor mid-level weapons, and the third floor high-level weapons.
The first floor was extremely spacious. After entering the first floor, there was a circular counter extending from the left and right sides, and the innermost part connected with the stairs leading to the second floor. As for the two upper floors, there was a large circle at the center, which made the weapon shop look like a round barrel.
At the center of the first floor, there was a crystal-clear red pillar. The pillar was not big, and a person could completely wrap his arms around it. However, this pillar was tens of meters tall, and from the first floor all the way to the third floor. The whole pillar is crystal-clear, as if it was engraved with red jade.
The surface of the pillar was etched with countless fine and exquisite lines. At the bottom of the pillar, the shape of a ball of fire could also be vaguely seen. The color was almost transparent.
That pillar was surrounded by more than ten iron pillars connected by the iron chains. There were many people watching outside, but none of them entered the range of the iron chains.
Tang Huan entered the weapon shop and the first thing he saw was this red pillar.
He had heard of the name of the pillar for countless times. It was called the "Fire Shadow Totem" and was able to detect whether a Martial Warrior had the talent to become a Weapon Refiner or not.
People’s physique can be classified into Five Elements. If a Martial Warrior has physique of fire, then it would be easy for him to become a Weapon Refiner. If he has physique of metal, wood, water, and earth, the difficulty of being a Weapon Refiner was much higher, especially for Martial Warriors has physique of water. Of course, there were also powerful ones. In the history of the Glory Continent, there seemed to have been an extremely powerful Weapon Refining Grand Master who could be considered as number one at that time, and his physique belonged to water.
No matter what type of physiques, as long as a martial warrior’s Genuine Qi was placed at the bottom of the "Fire Shadow Totem", that ball of flames would be ignited, transforming into a stronger flame. The better the talent the Martial Warrior had, the higher position the flame could reach in the pillar, and vice versa.
However, this test wasn't free. One would need to pay 200 gold coins each time.
When he knew about the existence of this "Fire Shadow Totem", the youth Tang Huan once also wanted to test himself, but he did not have Genuine Qi to ignite the flames, nor did he had two hundred gold coins for using "Fire Shadow Totem", so he could only give up.
"I wonder whether my aptitude is high or low?"
Tang Huan took a light breath, and his gaze moved away from the "Fire Shadow Totem."
In front of the two counters on each side, a large number of customers were gathered.
Behind the counter, a few girls in uniform were busy, either picking out weapons for their customers or answering various questions, showing a bustling scene.
Behind these girls were rows of shelves.
There were all kinds of weapons on the shelves, including swords, spears, bows, axes, hammers, etc.
Tang Huan casually glanced at them, and immediately felt dizzy.
Each one of those weapons was sparkling with a faint, colorful glow. This kind of weapon was something that the youth Tang Huan of this world was used to. After all, he grew up in old blacksmith shop, so even though he couldn't forge low-level weapons, he had seen many of them.
However, they were strange for Tang Huan, who came from Earth. Even though he had absorbed the youth's memories, he still felt it to be very strange after seeing it with his own eyes.
Weapons from his previous life could of course be made into a variety of colors, but that was not the color of the weapon itself. But even the low-level weapons in the shop were also of a variety of colors, the color had completely blended into the weapon, making the weapon flexible and beautiful.
Tang Huan knew that this was due to the different materials and gems that were added into the forging process.
When forging a weapon, the gem of all sorts of mystical powers would be fused into it, allowing the weapon to display all kinds of inconceivable effects ... This could only be done by the true Weapon Refiner. Ordinary blacksmiths would not be able to fuse those gems with their weapons.
To Tang Huan who was obsessed with sword forging, it was like a door suddenly opened in front of him, showing him a new world.
Almost subconsciously, Tang Huan walked to the right side of the counter and looked at the first row of weapons racks.
The first weapon on the shelf was a sword.
The sword body was eighty centimeters long five centimeters wide. Not only was it beautiful, it was obviously sharp, and the entire sword seemed to have a layer of faint white luster flowing out. However, what Tang Huan was paying attention to, was not this, but the cold Qi being emitted from the sword.
Standing in front of the counter, Tang Huan felt a cold sensation, as if the thing hung there was not a weapon but a piece of thousand-year-old ice.
Seeing that, Tang Huan was very happy, he caressed his hands, wishing that he could bring the sword over to look at it carefully.
"Hello, guest. May I ask if you want this sword?"
A crisp sound suddenly rang out.
Tang Huan regained his senses and subconsciously looked over, only to realize that a girl dressed in white had appeared behind the counter. Her figure was petite and exquisite, and she had a pretty face, not only did her face reveal a smile, her clear eyes also revealed a dense smile.
The salesclerks of the Star Ocean Weapon Shop were all beauties like this, truly a benevolent sight to behold.
Tang Huan was startled for a moment, he then understood that the young lady was talking to him, and promptly shook his head, and said: "I am here to buy True Fire, may I ask where I am going?"
"Buying 'True Fire', please go there!" Hearing that, the girl looked at Tang Huan in surprise and pointed forward with her delicate finger.
"Thank you very much."
Tang Huan nodded and looked at the weapon reluctantly, then continued to walk forward.
If he had any extra gold coins, he wouldn't mind buying a few low-level weapons to study for a while. But now, it was better to just forget about it.
The girl was pointing at the intersection of the two curving counters.
Compared to the noisy surroundings, this place was rather cold and cheerless. Behind the counter, there was also an extremely beautiful girl in a white dress. Compared to the beautiful girl from before, this girl seemed to be much more mature and charming.
Behind the girl, there was also a wooden shelf. However, what was placed on it were not weapons of various styles, but rows of fiery red colored bottles.
The bodies of those bottles were extremely large, but their mouths were extremely narrow. It was unknown what material they were made of, but they were all sparkling and translucent like glass bottles from his previous life. Through the bottle, one could clearly see balls of flames floating inside. The dark red flames illuminated the entire bottle.
"This esteemed guest, would you like to purchase the 'True Fire'?"
Seeing Tang Huan walk over, the girl in the white dress bowed slightly and asked enthusiastically. Her face also revealed a charming smile, and she did not ignore Tang Huan because of his shabby clothes. In his previous life, people always stressed the importance of smiling service. However, those professional smiles were not as sincere as these girls.
Tang Huan looked at the bottles, his eyes lighting up: "How much is a ball of True Fire?"
"A thousand gold coins." The young girl in the white dress smiled sweetly.
"A thousand? Why it become much more expensive? "
Tang Huan was instantly dumbstruck, and cried out in disbelief.
For a long time, the true Fire’s price has been around 500 gold coins, even if the price was floating, it would only be around 20-30 gold coins. He thought that selling the swords for 540 gold coins would be enough to buy one, but who knew that the Star Ocean Weapon Shop would actually raise the price, and even double it.
