Chapter Seven: Rare Goods Can Be Profitable

The first group of ten individuals entered with great enthusiasm, but half an hour later, they all emerged with expressions of dejection. Clearly, none of them had managed to purchase the common soldiers they desired.

As Lin Yuehua's hand made contact with Lou Yun's body, he faintly sensed something amiss. However, he did not have time to think further. Suddenly, he exerted more force with his hand, and immediately, a backlash of power, at least twice as strong as his own, surged from Lou Yun's shoulder.

The subordinate industries of the three major families are numerous and varied, but there is only one shop that sells ordinary weapons, and it does not belong to any of the three major families. This shop is owned by Xu Yangteng, the only weapon refiner in Linjiang City.

He squeezed his plump little pouch with force, and Lou Yun felt a bit more grounded. As the son of the clan leader, he had quite a bit of pocket money, and he had no real place to spend it. Over the years, it had accumulated into a considerable sum. If Xu Yangteng's rules were indeed just as everyone speculated, merely a gimmick, then he should be able to purchase a common weapon with all this money.

Although everyone was anxious, no one dared to rush forward. Offending Xu Yangteng was no laughing matter

Hearing the cold mockery of these tribesmen once again, Lou Yun merely smiled coldly, completely ignoring them. Over the past two months of arduous training, although Lou Yun had achieved considerable progress, externally, apart from having grown taller and becoming a bit sturdier, there were no other noticeable changes. After all, he still had not managed to condense a spiritual weapon.

Lin Yuehua lay on the ground, still unable to comprehend what was happening, dazed and confused. However, when he caught a glimpse of a trace of disdainful smile at the corner of Lou Yun's mouth, he suddenly came to his senses and swiftly rolled over to stand up.

In addition to Lin Yuehua's tyrannical behavior, the people of Linjiang City had long been displeased, so at this moment, they naturally stood on the side of Lou Yun

Lin Yuehua glared fiercely at Lou Yun, his eyes nearly bursting with fire. He had originally intended to teach Lou Yun a lesson, but unexpectedly, he ended up making a fool of himself. How could he possibly swallow this humiliation?

Luo Yun turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw five or six people crowding around a young man as they approached. This group completely disregarded the people waiting in line around them, forcefully pushing their way through the crowd towards https://www.hetushucomcom.

Seeing that Lin Yuehua had also come to buy a common soldier, Lou Yun couldn't help but frown slightly. His spiritual perception could sense that Lin Yuehua currently possessed a primary one-star spiritual weapon within her body

You are seeking death!

With ten people in each group, Lou Yun is placed in the third group, which gives him a bit more confidence. Even if the first two groups each buy one item, he still has a chance to purchase the last item.

The onlookers were initially taken aback, and then erupted into a burst of hearty laughter

Last year, under the leadership of Lou Tianming, the Lou family successfully won the bidding and obtained the mining rights. As the time for the bidding approaches again next year, Lin Yuehua has thus provoked Lou Yun

Although Linjiang City is merely a medium-sized city under an ancient feudal state, it is exceptionally vibrant, with a bustling street filled with a constant flow of people.

Lin Yuehua revealed a hint of a sneer on her face as she swaggered over to Lou Yun, laughing heartily and saying: "Haha, no wonder you look so familiar, it turns out to be my old brother Lou Yun. What brings you here to buy ordinary soldiers?"

Although most people displayed anger on their faces, they dared not voice their grievances, for this young man had a significant background. His name was Lin Yuehua, the son of the clan leader of the Lin family, one of the three prominent families that stood alongside the Lou family.

Indeed, over the past nine years, it seems he has gone out no more than five times in total. What on earth is going on today

The force of the backlash flowed through Lin Yuehua's palm into his shoulder, then into his body, as if he had been struck hard by a punch, causing him to involuntarily lean back. His feet stumbled, and with a "thud," he fell in a disarrayed manner.

Luo Yun, upon hearing Lin Yuehua's words, not only did not get angry, but instead smiled faintly and said: "Indeed, I cannot condense a spiritual weapon and can only buy an ordinary weapon for use. Unlike Young Master Lin, whose spiritual weapon has just reached the initial level of one star, yet has already become a dominant figure in Lingjiang City. Moreover, judging from Young Master Lin's recent actions, this title of 'dominant figure' is truly fitting!"

Who knows? Since his father was injured, I haven't seen him for the past two months. I've heard that he is training hard. Haha, no matter how hard he trains, what difference does it make? A useless person is still useless, just like a book. You see, there is still no change, right!

Standing at the entrance of the store, I noticed that although the shop had not yet opened, there were already quite a number of people waiting outside. A rough count revealed at least twenty individuals. Upon inquiring, I learned that two items had already been sold this month, leaving only three remaining, which explained why everyone was so eager to wait.

Luo Yun was naturally aware of these two rules, and since today is the last day of the month, he not only brought all his savings from the past fifteen years but also made a special effort to arrive early.

Half an hour later, the second group of people walked out of the store, and it was evident from their expressions that they all came out empty-handed

Upon recalling the deeds of Lou Yun, various expressions inevitably appeared on the faces of these individuals, most of which were naturally mocking.

Luo Yun glanced at the number of people and silently calculated the ratio in his mind. He realized that his chances of obtaining a common weapon were quite significant. Moreover, since he was determined to acquire a common weapon no matter what, he also joined the waiting crowd.

Regarding the renowned Lou Yun, it can be said that everyone in Linjiang City is aware of him. However, due to Lou Yun's reclusive nature, very few have actually seen him. Now, upon hearing Lin Yuehua's words, everyone suddenly realizes that this is indeed Lou Yun!

Due to the transcendent status of the weapon refiners, the three major families not only did not oppose but instead sought to please Xu Yangteng in every possible way, thus the business of this ordinary weapon shop reached an extraordinary level.

Outside Linjiang City, there is a relatively small spiritual crystal mine, which produces spiritual crystals.

The next morning, when the members of the Lou family saw Lou Yun unexpectedly walking out of the family, they couldn't help but be taken aback

Lou Yun has not yet had any formal combat experience, but after that last exchange, he felt quite confident. Therefore, even upon seeing Lin Yuehua draw a spiritual weapon, he showed no signs of fear. Instead, he looked even more disdainful and said: "Young Master Lin, to deal with a defenseless child like me, you actually resort to using a spiritual weapon. You truly live up to your reputation as a little tyrant!"

Luo Yun coldly smiled and said, "At that time, I will teach you a good lesson!"

Luo Yun and Lin Yuehua have had a few encounters, although it was a long time ago during a library event. However, it is known that Lin Yuehua is not a good person. Relying on her family's influence, she has been rampant in Linjiang City, and at such a young age, she has already been referred to as a little tyrant.

After a moment, the shop door finally opened a crack, and a small head poked out from inside. It was a little boy, seemingly around ten years old, with a round face and a lively demeanor. He glanced at the people waiting outside before retracting his head, and the door closed once more

However, it is said that Xu Yangteng's ordinary weapon shop has been open for ten years, yet he has not encountered a single destined customer! In fact, he sells at most five ordinary weapons in a month, and there are times when he doesn't sell even one item in a month.

Over time, everyone came to believe that the two rules proposed by Xu Yangteng were merely a gimmick intended to artificially inflate the price of his ordinary soldiers

Although business is good, Xu Yangteng has established two peculiar rules. The first is that within a month, he will sell a maximum of five ordinary weapons, and he does not accept reservations. Regardless of your influence or level of cultivation, if you wish to purchase an ordinary weapon, you must come to the store and queue. The second rule is that the goods seek their destined owners. His ordinary weapons, in addition to being sold for money, must also find their destined owners. As for who qualifies as a destined owner, that is solely determined by Xu Yangteng. In other words, if he deems you a destined owner, you can obtain an ordinary weapon even if you pay nothing. Conversely, if he believes you are not a destined owner, no matter how much money you offer, you will not be able to purchase one. To buy an ordinary weapon, you must come to the store and queue.

It is quite a coincidence that this spiritual crystal mine was discovered simultaneously by members of the three prominent families. Although the scale is relatively small, none of them are willing to concede. In order to compete for this spiritual crystal mine, the three families made an agreement to hold a contest every three years, with the victorious family gaining the rights to mine the spiritual crystals for three years

At this point, the conversation took a sudden turn. He reached out and gently tapped his forehead, saying: "Oh dear, oh dear, look at my memory! How could I forget? Brother Lou is indeed a renowned genius in Linjiang City. He mastered the tenth level of martial spirit at the age of six, and now at fifteen, he still hasn't been able to condense a spiritual weapon. Naturally, he needs to buy a mundane weapon to make an impression!"

Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared in his hand, and a silver rod approximately 1.5 meters long along with a * diagram * book materialized in his grasp. In a fit of anger and humiliation, he summoned his spiritual weapon, intending to teach Lou Yun a lesson.

Subsequently, the second group of ten people joyfully entered as well, and the position of the building cloud advanced significantly forward

At this moment, Chang Xiang's impatient voice sounded: "A mere second-tier weapon refiner, yet there are so many ridiculous rules, hum!"

Lin Yuehua does not possess the same depth of cunning as Lou Yun. This round of cold sarcasm immediately infuriated him, causing his anger to flare up. His eyes widened, and his right hand reached towards Lou Yun's shoulder, intending to push him forcefully and make him stumble, thereby embarrassing him.

Just when Lin Yuehua was unable to step down, a youthful voice suddenly rang out: "No matter who you are, if you want to buy a common soldier, you must line up honestly. If you want to cause trouble, stay away!"

Finally, the shop door swung open completely. The little boy stood in the middle of the doorway, resembling a small adult, with his hands on his hips, declaring: "Everyone, no pushing! Form a line and enter in order, ten people at a time!"

Spirit Crystals are stones rich in spiritual energy, making them excellent for practitioners to absorb this energy and enhance their cultivation. Consequently, the price of Spirit Crystals is quite remarkable, indicating that the value of a Spirit Crystal mine is truly immeasurable

After speaking, he turned around and, surrounded by the crowd behind him, walked towards the front of the line, loudly declaring as he walked, "I have always been standing in line honestly, and I am at the very front!"

However, Lou Yun's current state is vastly different from before. After two consecutive months of training, coupled with just completing the first stage of body refinement, his body is as hard as rock in its normal state. Lou Yun is also eager to test his current condition, so when Lin Yuehua pushes towards him, he sneers inwardly, not only avoiding it but instead slightly channeling his energy, causing his body to tense up immediately.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately drew bursts of ridicule from the onlookers around. Indeed, the reason why Lou Yun was famous was that he was born with extraordinary talent but was unable to condense spiritual weapons. Now, Lin Yuehua actually intended to use spiritual weapons against him; such behavior was truly contemptible.

The one speaking was the same little boy who had opened the door earlier. Although Lin Yuehua was used to being imposing, he did not dare to offend Xu Yangteng, after all, this weapon refining master was someone even his father had to treat with some deference. Therefore, he took this opportunity to step back, retrieved his spiritual weapon, and glared fiercely at Lou Yun, saying, "Lou Yun, in less than a year, it will be the time for the three major families to compete. By then, I will let you know my strength!"

The mocking voices of the crowd reached Lin Yuehua's ears, and his face turned a shade of iron blue. He was aware that his current behavior was indeed somewhat excessive, but having already drawn his spiritual weapon, retracting it now would only bring him greater shame

Since the age of six, Lou Yun has rarely left his family. However, over the past nine years, there have not been significant changes in Linjiang City, so he quickly found his destination, a shop that specializes in selling ordinary weapons.

The three prominent families engage in both overt and covert struggles against each other, constantly contemplating the annexation of the other two families in order to monopolize Linjiang City, resulting in a highly tense relationship among the three families

Seeing Lin Yuehua standing in the first position, everyone dared not express their anger and could only mutter a few curses in their hearts. The little boy looked at Lin Yuehua's smug expression, let out a cold laugh, and fell silent.

Although Lou Yun disapproved of Lin Yuehua's behavior, he did not want to cause trouble. Just as he was about to turn around and pretend he had not seen anything, Lin Yuehua's eyes suddenly lit up, and he also saw Lou Yun

Although Xu Yangteng is merely a second-tier weapon refiner and his strength is only that of a mid-level three-star spirit weapon master, the three major families are eager to win him over. However, Xu Yangteng is a peculiar individual who pays no attention to anyone and has instead opened a mundane weapon shop to conduct his own business

Although Lou Yun felt a bit of sympathy for them, he was also quite pleased in his heart. The more people in front of him who failed to make a purchase, the greater his own hopes became. However, he was also somewhat worried about whether he would be rejected as well.

Just as Lou Yun was about to respond, a sudden shout rang out: "Step aside, step aside, everyone step aside, let my young master pass!"

Luo Yun's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she licked her slightly dry lips; it was finally her turn!

Today the sun has truly risen from the west; he is actually going out

Within Linjiang City, there are three prominent families: besides the Lou family, there are also the Lin family and the Wang family. The overall strength of the three families is comparable, and they are evenly matched, nearly dividing most of the city's industries and controlling the economic lifeline of the entire Linjiang City
