Chapter 53 stop over

If these goods of the brocade-clothed man were placed in Guang County, they would be worth at least several thousand gold, which shows that they are very well prepared for this transaction.

"Do you have any spiritual medicines and strange stones? I will give you a satisfactory price." Hua Kai asked.

Generally, herders take spiritual medicines to improve their strength, and few are willing to trade. As for strange stones, they are very cautious in trading, just like the Qi State stipulates that weapons above the fourth grade cannot be sold to the grassland.

"I have some spiritual medicines here, and there are also strange stones. Take a look." The number of herders in the brocade-clothed man is hundreds, and there are also 70 or 80 slaves. It can be seen that his family power is not small, otherwise he would not have entered the trading market early and traded with the merchant group first.

Hua Kai saw the other party carefully take out a brocade bag, which contained 4 first-grade spiritual medicine blood red flowers and more than ten first-grade spiritual medicine cordyceps. These are relatively common spiritual medicines in the grassland.

"A blood red flower is 22 gold, and a cordyceps is 5 gold." Hua Kai took a look and said the price.

Blood red flower is a magical blood tonic, and it can be found in any healing pill. It can be sold for at least 80 gold in Guang County. Cordyceps is mainly used to strengthen the body and replenish essence. It is easy to buy in Linzi City, and the price of one is about 20 gold.

"Okay, this is the price. I have some strange stones here." The man in brocade clothes saw that the price given by Hua Kai was indeed a little higher than the bottom price in his mind, so he agreed happily.

Hua Kai saw that the other party took out a pile of stones. Most of these stones were ordinary pebbles, which were only of ornamental value.

Ordinary grassland people will never see precious weapons in their lives (in fact, ordinary people in the Central Plains will hardly see them either). Although they know that precious weapons are forged with strange stones, they can't tell which stones are considered strange stones. So they collect all the strange stones they encounter in small quantities, and try their luck when the caravan comes. If they are really favored, they will make a lot of money.

"This one is a meteorite, weighing about 20 kilograms, which can be exchanged for 50 gold. This piece of black flint is a little small, 7 gold! This one... counts as 100 gold for you, and the others are useless ordinary stones."

Hua Kai saw the last crystal stone, and his eyes lit up.

This crystal ore called [Mica Essence Stone] is used in many weapon refining in [Weapon Shop]. Only a little bit can increase the fusion of weapon's true qi. It is a rare stone, but there may not be many weapon refining masters in this world who can use [Mica Essence Stone] to refine weapons. So Hua Kai can offer a price of 100 gold, which is already good.

"This..." The man in brocade clothes hesitated. He couldn't believe that this transparent strange stone could be worth a hundred gold.

"You can also choose not to sell it. All transactions are fair. But if you ask me, I guess no one knows what it is used for except me, and I may not make much money by reselling it."

Hearing Hua Kai's words, the concerns of the man in brocade clothes were eliminated. There are too few weapon refiners in this world. He carries hundreds of stones here every year to try his luck. This crystal stone has been at home for hundreds of years. If someone wants it, he will sell it long ago. Hua Kai can offer 100 gold. It is already very good.

As for why Hua Kai didn't just give a price to buy this [Mica Essence Stone], it was because the caravan had its own rules and bottom line. The price of 100 gold was already very good for an unknown piece of strange stone. Even if the other party knew the value of [Mica Essence Stone] and made a big fuss about it, Hua Kai had already paid 100 gold, which was not low. If the matter was brought to the Han family, the Hua family would have an excuse.

The man in brocade clothes may have taken out all the treasures accumulated by the family. Hua Kai only spent 316 gold to select the spiritual medicine and the strange stone. In addition to the 84 gold that the other party had to pay, Hua Kai had to pay the other party another 232 gold.

"You are a young kid, but you are very straightforward. I will go to your place to choose some goods with the extra money! My family still needs some salt to survive this year, and I also want to buy some silk for my parents and wives."

Hua Zichen took away the spiritual medicine and the strange stone, and Hua Kai took out 232 gold and was about to give it to the other party. Hearing the other party say so, Hua Kai took the money back.

"Do you want anything else? The horses here are carefully selected from my family. I will take more goods from your caravan when the time comes." Seeing that Hua Kai was honest in his transactions, the other party wanted to trade more with him. Most people in the grassland are indeed very simple. When he meets a person who can trade with him with confidence, he plans to purchase all the goods from the Hua family.

Hua Kai selected more than ten strong horses that can be upgraded from the other party's horse team, and exchanged them for more than a thousand kilograms of wild animal bones. These animal bones are all intermediate wild animal bones or above. They are shipped back to Guangxian Meng at a price of more than 40 gold and boiled into gold, silver, and bone coins of more than 100 gold.

Most of the grassland merchant teams rely on animal bones to make a profit.

11 horses are only more than 9 gold, which is too cheap. In addition to animal bones and other materials, Hua Kai selected things worth about 100 gold. He also hopes to have a close cooperative relationship with the Jinyi Dahan, so that if he goes to the Huhan tribe next year, he will also have familiar trading partners.

After selecting the goods, the brocade-clad man followed Hua Kai and others back to the merchant group market. It was already noon, and the cavalry still controlled the road to the market, not allowing ordinary herdsmen to enter the market for exchange. When these herdsmen saw Hua Kai and others passing by them, they all shouted anxiously what goods they had. If the goods were all exchanged by the nobles this year, they would have to wait until next year.

The brocade-clad man returned to the Hua family caravan and happily competed with the Hua family caravan to see which brocade was more beautiful and which fine tea was better. This year, their family could live a richer life.

After a while, about 10% of the goods of the Hua family caravan were picked up by them. You should know that Hua Kai's price was more than 10 times that of Guang County. When everyone in Huajiabao saw the goods being picked up one by one, they couldn't help but get excited.

The transaction was completed. Not counting the money for the elixir and the strange stone, the horses, animal bones, furs, etc. obtained alone were enough to make up for the cost. After Hua Kai and other brocade-clad men left, they couldn't wait to enter the [Family Secret Space].

Today, the family's luck value has reached 380 points, and there are still 120 points to upgrade the family's mental skills and martial arts. It is most cost-effective to use the family's luck value to upgrade the family's mental skills and martial arts, but Hua Kai considers that the family's overall strength is less than 500 points, and the luck value is rising more and more slowly. It is better to forge weapons first to improve the family's combat power.

Hua Kai carefully looked at the weapons that use [Mica Essence Stone] in the [Weapon Shop]. Most of them are used as secondary materials for magic weapons. He saw a treasure weapon [Sun Chaser Bow] forged with meteorite iron and [Mica Essence Stone] and other materials, but it requires 3400 family luck points, which is not what Hua Kai should consider now.

In the end, he chose:

Youlong Spear: Ordinary Weapon 9th Grade

Required: 60 catties of meteorite iron, 40 catties of silver, and 5 taels of mica essence stone.

Family luck value: 350 points

The required luck value is just enough, and Hua Kai is very excited about what the first weapon refined by the [Weapon Shop] will look like.

The role of a sharp weapon in this world is beyond everyone's imagination. The swords of Uncle Wu and Yu Jun can only withstand the impact of the true qi of the Qi training realm, but they can crush most Qi training masters with inferior weapons. If there is a magic weapon, it can definitely be passed down for hundreds of generations in this world.

There are many aristocratic families in the Central Plains. Because of a magic weapon passed down, the family prospers for hundreds of years.

Hua Kai put all the materials into the synthesis frame, and the system prompted him to choose the family members to be matched. Hua Kai can choose himself or the 100 family members on the crystal column. Of course, he can also choose no one. The system will give the most common forging plan.

A mysterious cloud of gas floated from the crystal column into the [Weapon Shop], and a dazzling white light flashed in the synthesis frame. Hua Kai felt that he had lost something important in his heart, and a sense of crisis came.

"System prompt: Congratulations on refining a 9th-grade ordinary weapon, family luck value +9."

The family luck value, which was originally only 11 points, suddenly became 20 points, and the sense of crisis in Hua Kai's heart was slightly weakened.

When the white light flashed, a silver-white weapon appeared in front of Hua Kai.

This [Dragon Spear] was one foot and two inches long, with a four-clawed dragon carved on the body of the spear. It felt extremely delicate and non-slip in the hand. The tip of the spear was about one foot long with grooves. Hua Kai picked up the [Dragon Spear] and felt that it weighed about 100 pounds. This spear was too heavy for him to use!

Picking up the [Dragon Spear] with difficulty, Hua Kai felt that most of the weight of the spear was on the spear head. This kind of long spear like a work of art could not be forged even if it was forged by a master of refining. Hua Kai tried to charge his own true qi, and suddenly felt a strong suction coming from the body of the spear. He quickly threw the [Dragon Spear] to the ground, and he might be sucked dry later.

Coming out of the space, Hua Kai heard a noise in the tent. He put the [Dragon Spear] next to his mat and left the tent.

"I didn't mean to do that! Your car is in the wrong place. I just bumped into it and it fell over!" A soldier from the Huhan tribe said innocently, standing in front of a carriage that Hua Kai had fallen.

"How could we have put it wrong? You were too careless when you walked. Look, your weapon has cut all three bags of our salt. How can we sell the salt if it's all spilled on the ground?" Wei Baotou pulled the other person to stop him from leaving, and many people from the Hua family slowly gathered around.

Other people around the caravan looked over, and several people who looked like nobles from the Huhan tribe also came. It stands to reason that this soldier knocked over the Hua family's carriage and overturned and cut the Hua family's salt bags, so he should pay compensation, but he is just a child from a herdsman's family, how can he afford it?

At this time, a man who looked like a cavalry captain from the Huhan tribe came over, with more than a dozen soldiers behind him. If things go wrong today, there will be a disaster for the Hua family.

"What are you doing? Disperse! Is there anything you can't talk about?" Hua Kai hurried forward when he saw this. He knew that he had drained too much of the family's luck value, and bad things happened so quickly.

The Hua family retreated when they saw Hua Kai appear. The captain of the Huhan tribe cavalry came to Hua Kai and looked at him with contempt, which made the Hua family angry again. Hua Kai raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down and leave this matter to him.

"I am the person in charge here. Today's incident was an accident, but it was caused by your fault. You should compensate for it in full!" Hua Kai said to the soldier in Xiongnu language.

"It was me... but..." The soldier couldn't argue and looked back at his captain.

"You southern merchant, I will watch how you blackmail people today! How can you cheat the Huhan tribe!" The captain was also completely on his side. Even though the ins and outs of the matter were already clear, he knew that if he wanted the soldier to compensate, he couldn't afford it even if he sold his whole family as slaves.

"In that case, let's leave this matter to the tribe to judge!" Hua Kai said, motioning Er Zhuang beside him to notify the Han family. The captain finally got anxious. If the upper echelons of the Huhan tribe came forward today, not to mention the soldier, even he himself would be implicated.

The captain stepped forward to block Er Zhuang's way, and all his soldiers quickly dispersed to surround Hua Kai and others in the middle.

"What? Are you going to take action? All the friends around are watching! Do you want to use such a small number of people to silence our caravan? Or kill all the people in the caravan?" Hua Kai said that no one in the Hua family moved. This captain was only in the Qidong realm, and most of the other soldiers were in the Kaiyuan realm, and some were only in the Queti realm.

The captain was immediately scared when he heard this. As long as he dared to take action today, the matter would be a big deal. Moreover, he saw that many people in the Hua family were far more powerful than him. Wouldn't it be courting death to take action?

Even so, these soldiers did not leave. Er Zhuang looked at Hua Kai, and Hua Kai motioned him not to move. He was also unwilling to bring this matter to the Han family.

"We don't have money to compensate you!" The soldier waited for a long time before saying this.

When he finished speaking, all the soldiers lowered their heads, and their captain blushed.

The pastoralists on the grassland live worse than the farmers in the Central Plains. Most of their horses belong to their masters. They can only get enough food and clothing after fighting for their masters all their lives.

"It's nothing! Our caravan is just in need of a guide. I don't know if you are willing. As long as you help our caravan as a guide for a month, the matter between us will be written off."

Hearing Hua Kai say this, the captain of the soldiers also knew that Hua Kai was looking for an excuse to resolve the matter. He looked at him gratefully, then whispered something in the soldier's ear, and left with everyone.

Leaving him alone, the soldier seemed a little uneasy. Hua Kai checked his attributes.

Han Jinsheng: Kaiyuan Realm 9th level

Qualification: A-

Constitution: 32

Strength: 29

Will: 34

Loyalty: 8

This young man looks less than 30 years old. He has not learned any mental skills or martial arts, but he can actually practice to the perfection of Kaiyuan Realm. In addition to his good qualifications, this is also inseparable from his own efforts. Hua Kai saw scars all over his body.

"What is your name? How long have you lived in Huhan Tribe?" Although Hua Kai already knew that the soldier's name was Han Jinsheng, he still asked.

"My name is Han Jinsheng, I am 27 years old this year, and I am a senior cavalryman of Jinlan Banner of Huhan Tribe. I have a father and a mother, and three wives and nine children at home." Han Jinsheng looked at Hua Kai after he finished speaking. The captain just said that the Guangxian Merchant Corps would stay in Huhan Tribe until July 1st at most, and he would definitely be free after staying in the Huajia Merchant Corps until July 1st at most.

If the Hua family is unwilling to let him go, the captain will ask the leader of the Jinlan Banner to come forward, and the Hua family will definitely let him go.

Hua Kai has heard that many tribes in the Xiongnu actually moved from the Central Plains. The largest surname is "Xian", and the other two surnames "Han" and "Sima" are very common in the Xiongnu.

Most of the Huhan tribes have the surname Han. Hua Kai doesn't believe that this has nothing to do with the Guangxian Han family. It involves the balance between countries, the Central Plains and the grassland forces, which Hua Kai cannot understand now.

He asked such a soldier from the Huhan tribe to be his guide. One aspect is to resolve this conflict. Another reason is that the Hua family just needs a guide like Han Jinsheng to guide them. It would be best if he could accompany the Hua family to the northern tribe of the Xiongnu.
