“I am not here to buy ready-made weapons. I am here to inquire; do you have cold iron for sale? Price is not a problem!” Jun Xie laughed out, portraying a look of wealth and power.
The man’s eyes flashed as he thought to himself: I thought this kid is a debauchee. Could it be that he is actually an experienced professional? I cannot afford to make this mistake! He appraised Jun Xie once more before replying. “It turns out that Young Master here is a professional. However, our shop currently does not have any cold iron, as it is too hard to procure. Would Hundred Tempered Steel Iron suffice instead?”
Jun Xie chuckled and replied. “If it has truly been tempered a hundred times… then it would suffice, however, this Hundred Tempered Steel Iron… has it truly been tempered a hundred times?”
The middle-aged man’s face showed an awkward expression of embarrassment. “Young Master here is a true experienced professional. Even though my shop’s Hundred Tempered Iron has only been tempered around ten times, the quality is indeed above average. Even if it is to be compared to the others around the world, it can be considered one of the best.”
“Ten times… I understand. In that case, what about Mysterious Iron? Do you have any?” Jun Xie sighed. How terrible! Could it be that this place’s level of technology was actually behind Earth by ten thousand years? Putting hopes into their forging methods would be pointless. As of right now, all he could do was search for special metals! When it comes to special metals, Mysterious Iron was the best!
“None…” The middle-aged man wiped his sweat. Why was this man asking for all sorts of materials that was hard to procure? He suddenly remembered something. “A few days ago, we received a piece of Meteoric Iron. Would that suffice?”
“Meteoric Iron?!” Jun Xie’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go and have a look!”
When asking for the Mysterious Iron back then, Jun Xie was only hoping for a “what if”. He had fully expected there to be none. Unexpectedly, there was a Meteoric Iron! Even though Mysterious Iron was rare, the rarity of Meteoric Iron was even higher. It seemed that his luck was quite good!
Jun Xie followed the middle-aged man through the storeroom as they walked into the store behind the shop. Before they reach the storeroom, however, a clear voice could be heard from within. “Excellent! I want this Meteoric Iron.”
The owner of the voice was someone that Jun Moxie had feared the most – Dugu Xiaoyi of the Dugu Family!
Why am I bumping into her everywhere? Scary!
Jun Xie’s heart became anxious; he quickly stepped through the door. Without waiting for anyone to say anything, he quickly opened his mouth. “Hahaha… Miss Dugu, I did not expect that we would meet again here. This must be fate.”
“It is you? Jun Moxie?” Dugu Xiaoyi turned around, her eyes sparkled as she straightened her chest. “Jun Moxie, you are too abnormal. Why is it that I would end up bumping into you all the time, just like a clingy ghost! How peculiar!” Suddenly, she jumped, pushing her face before Jun Xie, asking viciously. “Jun Moxie, you are not stalking me on purpose, are you?”
