Chapter 81 The Threat of the Frost Moon
The impact of the wolf disaster has affected the entire Shiyu City, and Lijia Auction House is no exception.
The originally bustling auction hall was now deserted, with only two or three sweepers wandering around.
Deacon Shuangyue was standing in a luxurious room on the top floor of the auction house with a wine glass in her hand. She looked extremely handsome in a white gold robe.
Dang Dang Dang.
After knocking on the door, the middle-aged treasure appraiser's voice sounded outside the house.
"Lord Shuangyue, the weapon refiner Mo Long said that he has something important to do and wants to see you."
Shuangyue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She was deeply impressed by this weapon refiner, not because of his mysterious appearance, but because his weapon production was too large.
Refining second-level and third-level weapons is as simple as eating and drinking water. One can successfully refine hundreds of weapons in just a few days. In Shuangyue's opinion, it is not something that an ordinary third-level weapon refiner can do. The identity of this Molong
It won't be simple and deserves her attention.
He put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Let him come in."
The middle-aged man stepped back and invited Qin Long in.
After returning to Shiyu City, Qin Long once again put on a black robe, hiding his figure under the large cloak. However, the rosary around his neck was too big and could only be hung outside, which was extremely glaring.
Shuangyue didn't pay much attention to Qin Long's strange appearance. Her eyes stayed on the rosary for a moment and then moved elsewhere.
"Second-level Demonic Wolf Bone Bead? This Molong is really quite idle. He actually has time to grind and play with this kind of thing."
Shuangyue sighed. Cultivators have different preferences for clothing. Shuangyue has also seen male cultivators who like to pretend to be women. In comparison, Molong is already within the normal range.
"Brother Molong, why did you come to see me this time?"
Qin Long saw the other party's gaze directly glance at the rosary beads, and felt a little strange in his heart. Shuangyue was a fifth-level weapon refiner, so there was no reason why he couldn't recognize the material of this string of beads.
He didn't know that Shuangyue not only recognized the bone beads, but also knew the origin of these bone beads.
"Lord Shuangyue, I do have something going on this time, and it's a big deal." Qin Long took off the rosary and handed it to Shuangyue.
"Is the big thing you're talking about referring to this string of wolf bone beads?"
Shuangyue's tone was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the other party would actually send such a thing to her. Although animal bones are hard, they cannot be used as materials to refine weapons. The other party would not know it.
"Sir Shuangyue has already recognized the source. Yes, I came here this time just to show you this rosary."
"The bones of Warcraft can only be used by wood-based monks and cannot be used as materials for refining weapons. As a weapon refining master, you don't even understand this."
"Of course, Lord Shuangyue, please look carefully. This rosary is the product of being smelted with the backbone of the demon wolf."
Upon hearing this, Shuang Yue took the wolf bone rosary with doubtful eyes and tapped the surface of the rosary with her fingers. Based on the feeling from the back of her fingers, she knew that Mo Long was right. This rosary was indeed the product of smelting.
"How did you do this?" Shuangyue stroked the rosary with a surprised look on her face.
It was common knowledge that the bones of Warcraft could not be smelted, but this rosary broke her inherent knowledge. The appearance was very moist, and the texture inside was even. It was by no means carved from the bones of Warcraft. The only regret was that the grade was too low, only the second level.
.
"Lord Shuangyue, this is my secret. By the way, the rosary in your hand is just something I made casually. In fact, the demon wolf has greater value."
"Greater value?"
Shuangyue was a little confused. In addition to being in a higher realm, those demonic wolves were like dead objects. Their fur was on the verge of rotting, and even their blood was filthy. And the most important thing was that these demonic wolves were obviously demonic beasts but inside their bodies.
But there is no magic core.
The reason why Warcraft is valuable is because its fur and blood contain aura, which can be used as materials for refining weapons and elixirs. The magic core in its body is even more valuable. Once you find the magic core during hunting, you can make a lot of money.
Not long after the wolf disaster occurred, the high-level monks in Shiyu City thought it was a good opportunity to make a fortune and went out to hunt and kill many demon wolves. However, without exception, those who were killed did not find traces of the demon core and went out instead.
Many monks who hunted were killed by wolves, which made the monks give up the idea of hunting.
Now Mo Long doesn't know how to use the bones of the demon wolf to condense the second-level bone beads, but this alone cannot be called "great value". The second-level material is too low in Shuangyue's opinion.
Qin Long smiled mysteriously, flicked his fingers, and a small ball instantly flew out and rushed towards Shuangyue.
"Click."
Shuangyue pinched the ball in her hand with two fingers. Xiaoqiu was not very fast. She could tell that the other party was not hostile. She opened her palms and looked at the ball in her hand.
"This is a third-order bone bead?" Before Qin Long could introduce it, Shuangyue's voice sounded in the room.
I thought that Qin Long's use of wolf bones to refine second-level materials was the limit, but he didn't expect that he could actually refine third-level bone beads. Shuangyue was secretly surprised.
"Sir, you have good eyesight. This is the third-level bone bead that I smelted from the backbone of a demon wolf. However, the smelting of the third-level bone bead is very expensive. This bone bead requires an entire spine of an ordinary demon wolf."
"hiss…"
Rao Shishuangyue was well-informed and was shocked by Qin Long's words. She knew the size of the demon wolf. The entire spine was the size of two long knives, and it could only produce a bone bead the size of a fingernail.
, how many demon wolves do you need to refine a third-level weapon?
Hundreds, a thousand?
Shuangyue shook her head, I'm afraid two thousand demon wolves are not enough. Although this value is great, it is not easy to use.
Now that wolves are rampant, it is not difficult to find two or three thousand demon wolves, but it is not easy to hunt them all. Hunting so many demon wolves for a third-level weapon is undoubtedly a loss-making business.
Seeing Shuang Yue shaking her head, Qin Long knew that he had fallen into a miscalculation.
"Master Shuangyue, have you ever thought about a question?"
"What's the problem?" Shuangyue came back to her senses and looked at Qin Long, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Although this weapon refiner had given him enough surprise today, Shuangyue felt that it was far from one percent of what he had experienced.
"Don't you think that the current situation in Shiyu City is a good opportunity for the Li family?" Qin Long sat down in front of Shuangyue and Shi Shiran said.
"The city is surrounded by demonic wolves, and the weapons and materials in the city are confiscated by aristocratic families. Is this a good situation?"
Shuangyue looked sarcastic. As a deacon, she could naturally see more and guess the intentions of these aristocratic families. However, Shuangyue didn't care. She was from the Li family. Even if Kuang Guidou wanted to do something, she would not dare to act rashly.
The house is built brick by brick. This is the authority of the family, and it is also the confidence that she can remain calm in the midst of chaos.
Qin Long didn't care about the other party's tone and continued.
"Does Shuangyue know the mortal world?"
"Of course I know."
"Then your Excellency also knows that mortals cannot eat breath but can only eat grain. Food can live for hundreds of years. Once there is a lack of food, these mortals will die of hunger."
"The Li family's property is not only in the world of cultivation, but also has a lot of involvement in the mortal world. As the deacon of the Li family, I naturally have some knowledge of the mortal world. If you have anything to say, Brother Molong, just tell me."
The Li family actually has a presence in the mortal world.
Qin Long was slightly startled. This was the first time he heard about this matter. Not only did he have the original memory in his mind, he also knew nothing about it.
This is big news. There is contact between the world of cultivation and the mortal world. This matter may seem ordinary on the surface, but the connection behind it is definitely not simple.
You must know that the mortal world is simply a wasteland in the eyes of monks. There is no rich spiritual energy, no natural materials and earthly treasures. Connected with this barbaric place, resources can only be transported unilaterally.
The Li family would never be so stupid. Qin Long knew that there must be some unknown exchange of interests. Qin Long was secretly happy that Shuang Yue had unintentionally exposed a big secret of the Li family.
What he doesn't know is that this matter is known to everyone among high-level cultivators and is not a secret at all. It can only be said that everyone cannot see this aspect.
"Sir Shuangyue, does he know how to provide work for relief?"
Shuangyue shook her head. She knew some things about the mortal world, but they were only related to the inner family. She couldn't understand the details.
"Droughts or floods will occur when the rain in the mortal world is irregular. At that time, farmers will die in large areas. The government will then build water conservancy projects so that crops can grow better in the coming year. But Lord Shuangyue, building water conservancy projects requires a lot of money.
Manpower, hiring manpower continues to require money, what should the government do if it has no money?"
"What...what should I do?"
Shuangyue frowned, Qin Long's words stumped her. She was a deacon of the Li family and also a businessman. Qin Long's problem was very common and she had seen it several times in the Li family.
However, the family has strong strength and financial resources. When money is not enough, the other party will usually take the initiative to show courtesy, or they can also use barter to solve the problem.
But it happened in the mortal world, and she didn't know how to solve it.
"The solution is very simple, that is, work-for-relief. The government usually stores some old grain for emergency purposes. If they don't want to spend money to build water conservancy projects, they just let the victims do it."
"In this way, the victims can be rewarded for surviving, and the government can get a waterway that can be used for several years without spending too much money. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone."
Finally, Qin Long said mysteriously: "Don't you think this wolf disaster is very similar to the flood disaster in the mortal world?"
Shuangyue's heart was shocked, and her eyes that were wandering due to thinking suddenly stared at Qin Long.
Similar, how similar!
The wolf disaster is the flood, and the weapons are the food used by low-level monks to save their lives. As for the government...
"The official government is the Li family."
Qin Long's determined voice sounded at the right time.
"The Li family provides weapons and lets the monks use the work-for-relief method to hunt down the demon wolves. After hunting the spines, they provide them to the Li family. In this way, as long as the Li family increases the profit margin a little, they can do it without spending a penny.
, to become the biggest winner in this wolf disaster."
"This third-level bone bead is just smelted from the backbone of an ordinary demon wolf. If it were a foundation-building demon wolf, there might be more. With enough wolf bone third-level weapons, it wouldn't be a problem. I don't know what Lord Shuangyue wants.
How about next?"
Behind Mo Long's mask on a white background, Qin Long's bright eyes revealed full confidence. With such huge profits, he believed that he would surely impress Shuang Yue.
However, the development of things was beyond his expectation.
While thinking about it, Shuangyue's eyes towards Qin Long were first condensed, then cold, and then the aura of the martial fire realm gradually enveloped his whole body.
