Eternal gate

The night is quiet.

In the room, the sound of counting banknotes...well...counting explosive charms was quite pleasant.

The young master of the Zhao family is a serious man, and he counts very seriously.

Looking at the old man in sackcloth, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Is that a blast talisman?

Yes, those are explosive talismans, a thick stack that can cover the entire wall.

Damn it, where did he get so many explosive charms?

The old man in sackcloth was feeling chilled all over. He was not afraid of exploding talismans. One or two talismans were not a big deal, but if there were too many, they would not only shake him, but also blow him up to the sky.

After all, he can't touch his true energy.

Make a bet! This is what he said himself, only ghosts can bear it without moving their true energy.

It’s great to have a master.

This same sentence was repeated thousands of times in the mind of the old man in Mai. Such a number of explosive talismans were probably rewarded by that old guy.

Miscalculation, serious miscalculation.

Who knows if Zhao Yun still has such a background, can he explode the talisman for free?

"This is a sticker."

"Let's do it again. If I win, you can't lie."

"My master, I don't have a very good temper."

Zhao Yun has finished counting, but he is still harmless, and has started to put on the explosive charms. He pays special attention to the key points, such as pants, crotch, forehead, chest, back, as long as there is some space, he will put them together, trying to put them all in one go. People explode into the sky.

"Come on, get your sword skills ready."

The old man in sackcloth didn't say much, and handed the prepared Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique to Zhao Yun.

When it was done, the guy turned around and left.

If you don't leave, you're going to die. If you don't leave, you'll be bombed. This little thing is a beast.

"No! Let me try."

Zhao Yun took a quick step and grabbed the old man. To be honest, he really wanted to try the power of the new explosive talisman to see if it could really shake the Xuanyang realm, and he felt confident.

"Get lost."

The old man in sackcloth puffed his beard and glared, then disappeared through the wall. I was really free in the middle of the night. Why did you bullshit me and scare me with explosive talismans? Damn it, you couldn't do the exercises, but you even got into trouble with someone. Swordsmanship.

The night is still so peaceful.

The old man left, and Zhao Yun was holding the ancient scroll in his arms and laughing, so let's talk! Without that diamond, there would be less porcelain work. Young Master, I have the Explosive Talisman.

Soon, the sound of swords was heard in the room.

It was Zhao Yun who was dancing the sword. He was very talented and could learn everything quickly. He had learned the true meaning of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique. The sword was thunderous and it was really not an ordinary domineering one. Combined with the Fengshen Steps and Body Techniques, he could really perform a stunning sword attack. The power to kill.

Of course, this requires practice.

Xiu'er once said that magical powers and secrets are ultimately external forces. To strike, you need to be strong and possess sufficient knowledge. Even an ordinary palm can destroy the world.

Thinking of Luna, he glanced at his consciousness.

It had been several days, and she showed no sign of waking up, only becoming more dreamy.

"What a domineering Explosive Talisman."

In the attic, the old man in sackcloth held an explosive talisman and was studying it in front of the lamp.

He took this secretly before leaving.

Explosive Talisman! It's not that he has never seen it before. It is slightly different from Zhao Yun's. Comparing the two, the boy's explosive talisman seems to be more authentic. Looking at the thunder patterns and fire breath on the talisman, it is known that this talisman is blessed with thunder and fire, and its power is very powerful. Just imagine.

"The method of drawing the explosive talisman is only known to the royal family."

The old man murmured with deep eyes. He was once a member of the Tianzong and knew the ancient secrets. The method of this talisman was tabooed by the Great Xia Dragon Dynasty as early as a hundred years ago. Only the direct descendants of the royal family can obtain the true inheritance and it is impossible to flow into it. folk.

In fact, there is more than just this method of drawing explosive symbols.

There are also other secret techniques and techniques, such as escape from the ground, invisibility, etc., which have also been listed as taboos. The secret books circulating in the world today are all leftovers from the royal family. Their purpose is very obvious, to consolidate their own rule. status.

"He is from the royal family?"

The old man in sackcloth frowned slightly, and he was referring to Master Zhao Yun.

This guess seems reasonable.

Even if you are not a member of the royal family, you must be inseparable from the royal family. There are many masters in Tianzong, and the royal family is also unfathomable. There are countless crouching tigers, hidden dragons.

"If you are a royal family, will you be short of elixirs?"

The old man in sackcloth put his hands in his hands and muttered again.

There are many loopholes in this matter.

However, one thing is worthy of affirmation, that is, that old man is absolutely terrifying.

The next day, Zhao Yun left the military store early.

The medicine store is where he often goes. Martial arts consumes resources, so he will go there every now and then. Pills and spiritual liquid are all necessary for practice.

Fortunately, he has money in his hand, which is enough to support him.

Returning to the military store, I saw an old man in sackcloth from a distance, his face a little dark.

Don't blame me.

Zhao Yun calmed down. It was you who insisted on coming to me to bet in the middle of the night.

No, I have to find a place to come back.

The old man in sackcloth took a deep breath. His sword skills were wasted. However, he was frustrated by this. A martial artist in the Xuanyang realm was defeated in the hands of the Ning Yuan realm.

"Have a big fight."

Zhao Yun closed his eyes, ate the jelly beans, and locked himself in the room again.

The so-called big fight is nothing more than refining weapons.

However, this time it is different from the past. All the tempered weapons have a hint of thunder and lightning added to increase their power. This is the real weapon refining technique. It is necessary to refine the thunder and lightning into the weapon without losing it. It's technical work.

It is undeniable that the energy expended is doubled.

Not long after, the first weapon was forged, which was a large halberd with thunder and lightning added, inscribed with thunder patterns, and its hardness and flexibility were refined to its peak.

As the grade increases, so does the price.

The next day, the Liu family's military store was opened. There were customers, but there were very few.

Looking at Zhao's house, the shop door is closed.

On the second day, the price of the Liu family's weapons was reduced from fifty taels to forty taels. No one bought the fifty taels, and no one bought the forty taels, waiting for the price to continue to drop.

This was Liu Canghai's helpless move.

It had been delayed for too long. He needed to make up for the shortfall and recover the money as soon as possible.

In addition, there is pressure from various families.

This huge bet on monopoly was an alliance he made, and everyone invested a lot of money. The monopoly was good, and money would be made sooner or later, and the family would be able to explain it when asked.

Unfortunately, the battle was lost.

In other words, I am disappointed with Liu Canghai. We gambled with you at a loss, but in the end our work was in vain. The money we invested must be returned. The clan is very dissatisfied.

Every family has its cupboard.

The pressure from all the families was piled on Liu Canghai. This situation forced him to a dead end. He had no help from his own family, and other families were also clamoring for money.

That's why this price reduction came about.

Even though he knew he was losing money, he still had to bite the bullet and want to recover the money in a short time to make up for the shortfall. No matter how much money other families invested, he would get back a lot of it. As for how much he lost, he had to keep it himself. .

On the third day, the price dropped again.

Good weapons, bought for fifty taels, have been reduced to thirty taels.

This is the day Zhao Yun has been waiting for.

It’s silver! Already prepared, it was time for him to fight back.

The so-called counterattack is also a monopoly.

For those who sold fifty taels, they bought back thirty taels and emptied the Liu family's military store in one go. After that, they were tempered and cast again, and the price rose again.

"As many as you want."

Reckless put on a black robe and ran over with the banknotes in his pocket. He had lived for thirty years and was so wealthy for the first time. He threw the banknotes around in a domineering manner.

"It's so rich."

Many people on the street looked sideways and saw that there were more than a dozen carriages parked outside the Liu family's military store. They were loading weapons at the moment, and every carriage was fully loaded.

"These two families are so interesting."

Street people murmured that a few days ago, the Liu family was buying like crazy and the Zhao family was selling like crazy; now the roles are reversed, the Zhao family is buying like crazy and the Liu family is selling like crazy.

"Business war, this is a business war."

A discerning person will know at a glance that the two families are secretly fighting each other!

Snapped!

The sound of the whip was sounded, and more than a dozen carriages loaded with weapons all started to move. In one breath, the Liu Family Arms Store was shorted, and nothing was left.

"It must be from the Zhao family's army."

Wang De snorted coldly, looking at his expression, he thought he knew everything well.

"You still need to tell me?"

Liu Canghai cursed, he could think of monopoly, but Zhao Yun couldn't think of it? If you sell fifty taels a piece and buy another thirty taels, you won't lose any money from that point on.

"Is this...so cheap for the Zhao family?"

"The bank, my family, other shops, and major families are all forcing me to ask for money. What can I do?" Liu Canghai covered his heart and spat out blood.

It's time to get angry and attack your heart.

At this moment, he scolded Zhao Yun and Liu Cangkong a thousand times. The strategy was correct. It was because of the incompetence of the clan and the inability of his teammates to sit still.

At the critical moment, everything is so messed up.

If you can't find anyone for your own weapon refiner, you can just poach the other party's weapon refiner!

If you can't dig it out, send people to destroy it!

This whole thing, he was fighting so passionately that he even put his entire fortune on the line, but his family was in trouble, and even his allies were adding insult to injury.

The most irritating person was Liu Cangkong.

As the head of the family, with just a word from you, you can help me get through this difficult time. At the very least, with financial support, I will not be in this situation today.

However, Liu Cangkong refused to save him.

While they were talking, many figures had opened the door and came in, and there was a crowd of people. Most of them were housekeepers from various stores, and there were also people from other families. They heard that the Liu Family Arms Shop had made a big deal, so they came in a hurry. They formed a team to find Liu Canghai. Want money.

Give it, give it all.

Liu Canghai also simply returned the money in full, no matter how much money he invested.

"The result is openness."

Everyone was laughing, the money was back, and it would be easier for the family to explain.

"I won't send it."

Liu Canghai said calmly, feeling the urge to vomit old blood again, so he found a bunch of pig teammates. They were so damn happy. They asked for money, and each one was more active than the other.

"Fire is very harmful to the body."

The shopkeepers smiled, came in groups, and left together.

After everyone left, someone else came.

He is the steward of the Liu Family Bank, waving his folding fan lightly and looking very cool.

Obviously, he also came to ask for money.

During these days, Liu Canghai had borrowed a lot of money from the bank?

"So impatient?"

Liu Canghai couldn't catch his breath and coughed up blood again. His family members rushed to ask for money, but he admitted it, even to his own bank. Can I still run away? If they weren't pressed so hard, why would I sell weapons at a reduced price?

"Third Master, one code equals one code."

The manager of the bank is smiling but not smiling. He only cares about collecting money and does not care about anything else.

"Take it away, don't give it away."

Liu Canghai snorted coldly and handed over a stack of banknotes, which represented his entire wealth. He had to make up for the money he lost. He worked hard for decades until liberation.

"See you."

After taking the banknote, the manager of the bank stood up and left without speaking politely.

"Guan Zhang, Bing Pu Guan Zhang."

Liu Canghai waved his hand and sat down feebly. If there were no weapons in the shop, how could it still be called a military shop? Sikong can't find anyone, and has no supply of goods. How can he open a store?

Then, the family orders came.

It was an order from distribution, and the place of distribution was an extremely remote town.

"Third Master, have a good rest."

Wang De said calmly, turned around and walked away, his back straight, his words "Third Master" were not respectful at all, and his tone was not hard to hear contempt.

The world is hot and cold.

Liu Canghai has no ability to make a comeback. He has been sanctioned by his family and is no different than being relegated to the cold palace. People like this, even if they are members of the family, have no future.

He left, and the guys left quite a bit too.

When the tree fell and the hozens scattered, the family couldn't survive, so they looked for another family to make a living.

"good very good."

In the room, Liu Canghai's smile was unknown, whether it was sadness or desolation.

Defeated.

In this monopoly business war, he was completely defeated.

Want to return to the family?

I'm afraid it's impossible. After losing so much money, it would be nice not to settle the account with you. Are you still thinking of going back? In this life, don't even think about getting involved in the power of the clan.

It's time for him to understand and understand his identity.

The expatriate children were just puppets of the family from beginning to end.

If it's useful, use it; if it's not, throw it away.

For so many years, he had been deceiving himself and others, dreaming of returning to his clan one day. Only now did he realize that reality was much crueler than fantasy.

The back garden of the Zhao family's military shop is filled with weapons.

After walking around for a long time, everyone who left here came back.

Then, there was the sound of firecrackers.

It's the Zhao family's military store that's opened again. It's very interesting to see the people on the street. It closes every other day and closes every other day.

After looking at the price, many people scolded me.

No wonder they are like this, it's just because the price of weapons has increased: one hundred taels.

No one said anything about the weapons waiting to be seen.

Weapons! It is an absolutely good weapon. Compared with the previous one, it actually has a hint of thunder and lightning, and the thunder patterns on it are quite eye-catching. This alone is worth a hundred taels.

"Yes, I spent all my money to buy it, and it produced good weapons."

"Exchange the old for the new, the price is fair." The rules of the Zhao Family Arms Shop are well known in Forgotten City. As long as the weapons are ready-made and can be replaced, you can take as many as you have.

"Profiteer."

The old man in sackcloth clasped his hands and glanced at Zhao Yun.

"If you don't have money, where will you get the resources to practice?"

Zhao Yun was so exhausted that he built his troops overnight and has not rested yet.

He recognizes himself as a profiteer.

Compassion does not govern soldiers, justice does not engage in business, and who is not a traitor in business? There is no traitor in business! Besides, his weapons shop didn't fool customers with inferior weapons.

The old man in Mai did not deny this.

A weapon with a touch of thunder and lightning, worthy of a price of a hundred taels.

Zhao Yun drank wine and didn't know what he was thinking.

The Liu Family Arms Shop was defeated, and the other party no longer had any weapon refiners. This meant that the source of goods was fundamentally cut off. If they wanted to establish a monopoly again, they would need double the financial resources of the previous one, because the price had already risen to one hundred taels, and there was no one of their own. Support, without the financial assistance of other families, the Liu family military shop alone cannot make a big splash.

Unless they can find a new weapon refiner.

These are no longer important. What is important is that the reputation of the Zhao Family Arms Shop has been established and established. Liu Canghai has accomplished what Liu Canghai tried so hard to do and truly monopolized the weapons business. This business will become bigger and bigger for him. Not only in Wanggu City, but also in other ancient cities, they will be expanded one after another.

Silver is a good thing.

Half of the future martial arts training resources will depend on it.

Now, he can concentrate on practicing.
