Chapter 1227 Treasure-level spear
...
"Well. Yes, they are very popular merchandise. Not many martial artists use them, but... the army will use them. Some generals will buy treasure-level spears, but because treasure-level spears are not enough, even generals with outstanding careers and many meritorious deeds do not have treasure-level spears. It would be very difficult if this young hero wishes to buy treasure-level spears in the "King of Sky Wealth".
That's it. Ou Chuyang immediately realized that spears were the best weapon in the army. Since ancient times, as long as they were famous military leaders, 80% of people would use spears in battle. Another 20% would use large guns, tridents, halberds and other weapons similar to spears. Few famous generals rely on swords or knives to lead the army.
When an army enters war, people often ride horses. During this time, the sword or knife is too short and the range above the horse is limited. Therefore, people must use long-range weapons such as halberds, spears, spears or spears. Holding a spear, they will be able to kill them even if they fall into a large group of enemies. Ten feet long spears can actively kill all enemies within a large circle. This is beyond the reach of swords, swords, axes or other weapons.
Therefore, the only style of sweeping a thousand troops is the spear!
This is why the generals of the "King of Wealth in the Sky", even if they were martial artists trained with swords and fought with swords, had no choice but to learn the spear.
"Well, for treasure-level spears, I will come back when they have good guns. A high-quality spear may cost tens of thousands of gold, and I don't have that much money at the moment. The gold I used to spend from Mr. Muyi, and although the inscriptions are very expensive, I don't think he needs it anymore. I often bother Muyi, and tens of thousands of gold bars are not a small amount. I shouldn't look for him for it. Similarly, treasure-level spears are difficult to use, and my martial arts cultivation is not high at present. Even if I have a treasure-level spear, I can't show its full strength."
Ou Chuyang thought this way and said, "Then consider solving it. Can you show me some spears?
"Very good. Young hero, please wait." The salesperson turned around and took out a thick spear from the wooden box. The spear was ink black and 7 feet long.
When a spear is sold in the store, it is usually the spear and the spearhead are sold separately. The spearhead is placed in a wooden box to prevent erosion. Dip the spearhead into a bucket of tung oil to preserve it and make sure it always glows and reflects light. Customers can choose the right spearhead and spearhead they like and then combine the two objects together to form the final product.
"Young hero, please take a look." The salesperson said when he handed the spear to Ou Chuyang.
Ou Chuyang held the spear shaft in his hand. It weighed about 30 kilograms, not made of metal. Ou Chuyang could tell that the spear rod was soft. Ou Chuyang had no doubt that if he dropped the spear rod into the full moon arc, it might crack the animal's skull.
Although this spear is not made of metal, the damage it can cause to a person's body is comparable to the damage that the metal rod may cause.
"How much does this spear cost?" Ou Chuyang asked.
“1200 taels of gold.”
Although he was ready in his heart, Ou Chuyang was still shocked when he heard this absurd pricing. The spear is too expensive! It must be known that an ordinary sword can only cost a few thousand gold. This spear is not a treasure!
The waiter saw Ou Chuyang's surprise and explained: "The spear rod is made of black iron wood. It was carefully selected from hundreds of years of high-quality black iron wood, which was soaked in spring water for 49 days. After that, it was cooked in a giant wok filled with explosives for three days. All the bark was peeled off, leaving only the hardest and most durable wood core, then mixed with the silkworm's silk and twisted into a ball, then wrapped in the cloth of the silkworm and soaked in tung oil for three years.
"Both black iron wood or gold silk, both are precious materials and are difficult to damage with swords or swords. Apart from the special production techniques involved, even if the spearhead is connected to the sword, it will never be cut off in battle. This young hero may be relieved of you for disarming."
Hearing the enthusiastic explanation of the salesperson, Ou Chuyang also felt his heartbeat. He did not expect that this universal spear would unexpectedly have such a complex and advanced production process. Golden silk silk is cheaper than Tian silk silk, but it is absolutely expensive. Black iron wood is also expensive, even from a tree that has been around for hundreds of years.
And, if there is only one error in the manufacturing process, it will be destroyed. For example, if there is a problem with soaking it in boiling oil, then black iron wood will be destroyed. The spear must also be straight and strong, like a perfect ruler. If there is a minimum divergence angle, it will be eliminated. This causes the value of the spear axis to increase many times.
No wonder it is so expensive. Even if an ordinary person does not eat or drink and works hard all his life, he still cannot afford it. If he gives this spear to ordinary people, it will be passed on to generations as a precious heirloom passed down from generation to generation.
The salesperson said: "The most expensive part of the spear is the shaft. If the spear is good, then 80% of the reason is the shaft, and 20% of the reason is the head. The process of making the spearhead is relatively simple; a good spearhead is only a few hundred gold. For this young hero, even if you choose a spearhead made of cloud-patterned wrought iron, it is only 800 gold. The total price will not exceed 2,000 gold. What do you think of a young hero?
Ou Chuyang held the thick shaft with both hands and played. He felt a little like a feeling of love and found it difficult to put it down. Not to mention the elasticity and durability of the shaft, it definitely felt like a first-class product.
Unfortunately it's too light!
"Do you have anything heavier? For example, a spear that is hundreds of pounds long."
"Oh?" The salesperson was a little surprised. For a spear weighing hundreds of kilograms, it would take at least thousands of kilograms of strength to wield a spear that weighs hundreds of kilograms as flexibly as dancing. Is this young man strong?
But even with his doubts, the salesperson pulled out another spear made of pure black steel. The spear was thick, 7 feet long and weighed 400 kilograms. The salesperson obviously had practiced moving this because he took some effort, but eventually managed to solve it.
“This spear is 800 gold.
Black steel is expensive, but producing pure black steel spears is a relatively simple production process, so metal spears are also cheap.
"Young hero, be careful, it's too heavy." He felt a little scared when the salesperson handed over the black steel spear shaft to Ou Chuyang. But to his shock, Ou Chuyang held it like an ordinary wooden pole and grasped it so much while looking very relaxed.
The salesman's eyes jumped up. This young man was very powerful! He was simply a ferocious beast in human form.
Ou Chuyang held the spear shaft and thought for a while, then asked, "Do you still have heavy weight?"
Is it heavy? Does he want something heavier?
"We do have more options, but the prices are also very expensive," the salesperson said.
"It's okay." To avoid any unnecessary trouble in the future, Ou Chuyang flashed golden banknotes in his chest pocket. Now he still has 8,000 gold pairs. As long as it is not as expensive as a treasure-level spear, he can afford it.
The salesperson was surprised to see the thick stack of golden banknotes. Such a thick stack of banknotes! This young man is so rich! He said respectfully: "Young hero, please come with me."
In this way, the salesperson walked to the second floor. When they entered the second floor, the number suddenly decreased. The space was large, with only a few customers surfing around. A pessimistic middle-aged man, wearing a long gray robe, sat behind the counter and had a cup of tea.
The salesperson paid tribute to the middle-aged man, then walked over and said a few words.
"Oh? Do this young hero have to choose such a heavy spear shaft?" the middle-aged man asked him with interest, looking at Ou Chuyang, "How long are you looking for?
“800 jin.”
"800 kilograms?" A glimmer of light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. "A spear of 800 kilograms will consume at least 4,000 kilograms of strength. Can you?"
Ou Chuyang said: "Even if I can't use it at will now, I can do it in the future."
"How bold! I'll look for you."
The middle-aged man stood up and moved to one side. After a moment, he returned with a long wooden box. Although Ou Chuyang seemed to be taking a brisk pace, he found that the middle-aged man made a squeaking sound on every step on the parquet floor. The wooden board could not bear the weight that the person carried.
The wooden box in his hand was obviously very heavy!
The middle-aged man placed the wooden box on the counter and lifted the lid. The inside was an eight-foot shaft wrapped in thick cloth strips.
The middle-aged man unbuttoned the strip of cloth, suddenly revealing a dark purple shaft and a crimson spearhead. Two characters marked with inscriptions were engraved on the dark purple rod - "Pengthening the Rainbow".
These two simple words plus the huge spear pole make people feel as if there is endless gas gushing out.
Good gun!
The middle-aged man said: "This spear is called the penetrating rainbow. Its shaft is eight feet long and its head is eight inches long. This is half treasure."
"Hmm? Half-Bao?"
The middle-aged man said: "Only the spearhead is a treasure, and the spear is not, so it is half a treasure."
Ou Chuyang was suddenly enlightened. The process of shooting into the spear is complicated; therefore, it is difficult to place an array on it. However, the spearhead is the same as a sword or knife, so it is easy to set an array on it and turn it into a treasure.
But unfortunately, because the spear lacks array, it cannot connect its true essence through the spear, so its power is greatly reduced.
The middle-aged man said: "Although the spear is not a treasure, if it is more resilient, it can be equivalent to an ordinary low-level treasure at the pace of humans."
The difference between treasures and ordinary weapons is that there are arrays engraved on them, so one can introduce its true essence into it. It is not true that treasures are more durable or stronger than ordinary weapons.
This weapon cannot concentrate its true essence. In actual combat, once martial arts skills are shown, the difference between the two will be obvious. The treasure will be more powerful than ordinary weapons.
The middle-aged man continued: "This spear is forged with dark purple elastic iron, and the spear head is made of cloud-patterned wrought iron. Both sides of the spear are mixed with deep gold, which is extremely sharp. The spear head and the spear shaft initially appear in pairs and cannot be separated. The total weight is 820 kilograms."
Dark purple elastic iron?
When Ou Chuyang attended the lecture, he had heard from an elder about this strange metal. This wonderful metal is unparalleled in weight and has high elasticity. It is even used to make strong bows and arrows. The bow made of bows, coupled with the muscles and bones of high-level ferocious beasts, can easily shoot arrows out of 2,000 steps and pierce exquisite steel plates!
If a spear is made using this dark purple elastic iron, even thicker spears can be bent into a half-moon shape and bounce back with enough force to split a tree. If a martial artist with 5,000 kilograms of power shocks it, even a slight vibration generated by just the oscillation will kill a person.
However, for its thousands of advantages, the dark purple elastic iron must be hammered countless times during the molding process to forge. Since the array cannot be knocked, it cannot be engraved on it. Therefore, this metal cannot be used to make treasure weapons.
Even so, the deep purple elastic iron is loved and loved by many masters of refining because it is too big to be used to make spears or strong bows.
Ou Chuyang took the handle of the spear made of dark purple elastic iron into his hand. He shook it for a moment, and the entire spear shaft began to tremble. But the trembling was not too intense, because Ou Chuyang's strength was insufficient and he could not shake the deep purple elastic iron.
Even so, the middle-aged man was still shocked. This little boy! What an extraordinary power! If he could still shake the spear like this, his strength must not be less than 3,000 kilograms! And he is just the pinnacle of the second stage of the body transformation, and his physique is really good!
Ou Chuyang made some spear movements with his hands. Even if he could easily lift the 820 kilogram spear, he could not wave the spear with a high degree of fluidity. If he fought with such a weapon, even if Ou Chuyang had the "real original chaos formula" to support him, it would quickly exhaust his power.
But Ou Chuyang was not worried. Soon, he would break through the bottleneck, and the weight happened to be in his hands.
"How much does this spear cost?"
“9000 taels of gold bars!”
9000…Ou Chuyang is not surprised. This spear is worth it. The price of the cloud pattern wrought iron treasure spearhead is 3000 gold two lines, and the price of the dark purple elastic iron spearhead is 6000 gold two lines. These two prices are absolutely bargains.
Ou Chuyang took out all the gold bills on him, and even purple VIP gold cards, which were placed on the counter. The Holy Weapon Hall is part of the Chamber of Commerce, so the VIP card can give him a 10% discount, turning the price into 8,100 gold. Even so, all the gold on Ou Chuyang is still missing 50 gold.
When the middle-aged man saw this VIP card, his eyes brightened. "Young hero, are you from the military zone?"
Ou Chuyang thought, hesitated for a moment, and said, "No, that was sent by my friend in the military zone."
Although Ou Chuyang downplayed this, the middle-aged man knew that the little boy was definitely an important figure in the military zone. Otherwise, he would not have had a VIP card, let alone a VIP card. He smiled and said, "That's it. Since this young hero is a distinguished guest of the military zone, using this spear will be enough."
