Gu Yunxu continued to introduce, "Taiming Mountain Market is quite big, almost taking up a hilltop. There are many houses for rent there, and even caves for rent."
"How much is the rent?" Jiang Ping'an asked.
Gu Yunxu replied, "A single room costs two spiritual stones a month, a three-room house with a small courtyard costs five spiritual stones a month, Mid-Grade Courtyard starts fifteen spiritual stones a month, and a cave residence costs a thousand spiritual stones a year."
"It's so expensive." Jiang Ping'an couldn't help but say.
If he rents at Taiming Mountain Market, if he wants to be more comfortable, he should rent at least Mid-Grade Courtyard. After all, he is not alone. Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang need to be taken with him, and Gu Yunxu must be included to serve him.
Gu Yunxu continues to introduce the situation of Taiming Mountain Market.
After listening, Jiang Ping'an said, "After a while, you will accompany me to Taiming Mountain Market."
He is about to open up his second spiritual aperture, which will not only improve his cultivation, but is also expected to greatly improve Divine Soul's ability to adapt to the Dreamland Heavenly Dao law, which means that the Spiritual Sense he can use will be greatly improved again.
Taiming Mountain Market expected that there would be many late Spirit Aperture Realm monks or even Qi Refining Realm monks sitting in the area. He didn't want to plunge into a place where there were a lot of people who threatened him.
"Yes." Gu Yunxu responded, feeling somewhat hopeful.
If you live and practice at Taiming Mountain Market with Jiang Ping'an, it will be really worth it. She believes that as long as Jiang Ping'an arrives at Taiming Mountain Market, she will definitely find a way to live in it.
A few days later, Jiang Ping'an successfully opened the second spiritual orifice - Spring Well Aperture.
As Spring Well Aperture opens, the communication between the body and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is doubled, and the suppression of the laws of heaven by Divine Soul is indeed greatly reduced.
Jiang Ping'an tested it and found that his Spiritual Sense was enough to lift a boulder weighing 10,000 kilograms.
"My Spiritual Sense is enough to not be afraid of any Spirit Aperture Realm monk, but my defense ability is still very poor." Jiang Ping'an thought, "Either get a strong enough defense Magic Tool, or find a powerful Killing Intent and train Profound Fiend Barrier to improve it."
"Seeing that neither of these two are possible for the time being, let's create a few Mysterious Iron Shield transitions. Use the Spiritual Sense shield to keep the danger away."
Having made up his mind, Jiang Ping'an went to find Gu Yunxu.
He rented a house with three entrances and a courtyard with multiple rooms and a relatively independent living area Gu Yunxu.
Not long after, Jiang Ping'an found Gu Yunxu and asked, "Fairy Yunxu, do you know where there is a high-end blacksmith shop? I want to make some shields."
Gu Yunxu asked, "Does Brother Jiang Dao want to refine Magic Tool?"
"No," Jiang Ping'an shook his head, "However, I want to use good materials to make it, at least black iron."
Gu Yunxu said, "Daming City has a sect called Honglu Gate, which specializes in making weapons. Honglu Gate should be able to meet Brother Dao Jiang's needs. Brother Dao Jiang, do you need Yunxu to accompany you?"
"Thank you." Jiang Ping'an said.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ping'an and Gu Yunxu took a carriage out together to find Honglu Gate.
More than half an hour later, Jiang Ping'an and Gu Yunxu arrived in front of Honglu Gate's blacksmith shop.
In front of the blacksmith shop, people were constantly coming in and out, and the business was booming.
Jiang Ping'an and Gu Yunxu walked in. When the waiters in the shop saw Jiang Ping'an and Gu Yunxu's luxurious clothes and extraordinary momentum, they immediately greeted them enthusiastically.
"Welcome, young master and young lady, what do you want?" the clerk asked with a smile on his face.
Before Jiang Ping'an could answer, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper came over, handed Jiang Ping'an and Gu Yunxu and said, "I, Zhang Feng, am the second shopkeeper here. Are you two gentlemen buying weapons or custom-made weapons?"
The guy quietly withdrew knowingly.
Jiang Ping'an asked, "Do you have materials here that are harder than black iron?"
The second shopkeeper Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Of course. We have Copper Mother, Cold Iron and Star-Sinking Iron in our shop. Two distinguished guests, please come to the private room to talk."
After saying that, he made a please gesture to Jiang Ping'an and Gu Yunxu.
Jiang Ping'an nodded and walked in.
After entering the elegant room and closing the door, the deafening sound of clanging iron immediately became much quieter.
After the tea was served by the maid, the second shopkeeper Zhang Feng asked, "What are your last names?"
"The surname is Shi." Jiang Ping'an said.
Gu Yunxu didn't answer.
The second shopkeeper Zhang Feng raised his hand and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Shi. I wonder if Mr. Shi is buying weapons refining materials or custom-made weapons."
Jiang Ping'an asked, "What are the prices for the Copper Mother, Cold Iron and Star-Sinking Iron you reminded me just now?"
"Copper Mother is fifteen taels of gold per catty, Cold Iron is fifteen taels of gold per catty." The second shopkeeper Zhang Feng introduced, "As for Star-Sinking Iron, our store has a small quantity and will not sell it individually. Please forgive me, Mr. Shi."
Jiang Ping'an pondered for a moment and thought to himself: I can't afford it, even if I use the cheapest Copper Mother to make a shield. It seems that shields can only be made of black iron.
The next moment, he took out a flying knife and asked, "How much does it cost to make this kind of flying knife using Star-Sinking Iron?"
With that said, he handed Mysterious Iron Flying Daggers to the second shopkeeper.
The second shopkeeper Zhang Feng took Mysterious Iron Flying Daggers and looked it over, then returned Mysterious Iron Flying Daggers to Jiang Ping'an and quoted the price. "A spiritual stone, no gold required."
"What if it is built with Copper Mother?" Jiang Ping'an asked.
The second shopkeeper Zhang Feng said, "If it is made with Copper Mother, a flying knife will cost fifty taels of gold."
Jiang Ping'an nodded and continued to ask, "I need to make a round shield from black iron. The shield is five feet in diameter and half an inch thick. How much does it cost?"
The second shopkeeper Zhang Feng thought about it for a while and replied, "Six thousand taels of gold."
Jiang Ping'an secretly sighed that it was so expensive.
Now he only has twelve spiritual stones left on his body, and one spiritual stone can be exchanged for one thousand taels of gold. As for the gold he carried, he only had more than a thousand taels left.
After weighing it in his mind for a while, he said to the second shopkeeper Zhang Feng: "I want to make one Mysterious Iron Shield, fifteen flying knives made of Copper Mother, and one flying knife made of Star-Sinking Iron. This flying knife will be disguised as Copper Mother Flying Knife. I will pay with spiritual stones. Can it be cheaper?"
The second shopkeeper Zhang Feng was very happy, this is a big deal. He pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Seven spiritual stones. This is the biggest offer I can offer."
"Thank you." Jiang Ping'an said with cupped hands, "How to pay?"
The second shopkeeper, Zhang Feng, couldn't help but smile on his face, and replied, "Young Master Shi only needs to pay two spiritual stones in advance, and we will give him a stand. After the shield and flying knives are made, Master Shi only needs to bring the stand and seven spiritual stones to get one Mysterious Iron Shield, one Star-Sinking Iron Flying Knife, and fifteen Copper Mother Flying Knife."
Jiang Ping'an said, "Call your big shopkeeper here, let's set up a document together."
This is not a small amount of money. The deposit of two spiritual stones is a huge amount of money for a Third Blood Transformation Realm Grand Martial Master. He believed in the Honglu Gate brand, but he did not dare to trust the third shopkeeper Zhang Feng.
When the second shopkeeper Zhang Feng heard this, he was not angry and said with a smile, "It is as it should be. Mr. Shi, please wait a moment."
Jiang Ping'an nodded.
The second shopkeeper Zhang Feng quickly left the private room and sent someone to invite the big shopkeeper as quickly as possible.
After a cup of tea, the big shopkeeper hurried over.
Jiang Ping'an took a careful look at the big shopkeeper and found that the big shopkeeper was also a Spirit Aperture Realm monk with the Spirit Aperture Realm second-floor cultivation.
The big shopkeeper also noticed Jiang Ping'an and Gu Yunxu, and immediately found that Jiang Ping'an and Gu Yunxu were of great importance. He guessed that they were monks from the middle stage of the Spirit Aperture Realm and above, and he quickly dealt with them carefully and respectfully.
Jiang Ping'an paid two spiritual stones, the shopkeeper wrote the document, and the contract was successfully concluded.
