What a lucky world!

Chapter 63 Zhang Mu buys a gun, Xuan Ji burns incense

"Sir, what do you need?"

As soon as Zhang Mu walked into the weapon forging shop, a clerk came up to him and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Mu deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I want to order a spear."

Seeing Zhang Mu's expression, the waiter immediately understood what he meant and said, "Sir, follow me."

As he spoke, the waiter led Zhang Mu into a small room on the side of the lobby.

Zhang Mu took a look and saw that the room was simply furnished with only a table and a chair, and a wooden wall in the middle separating the rooms.

The waiter lowered his head and said, "A chef will come to greet you later. Please wait a moment."

Having said that, the waiter retreated and closed the door.

Seeing this, Zhang Mu showed a satisfied smile on his face.

As expected of a weapon forging shop, they even know how to protect their customers' privacy.

He usually uses the Three Talents Sword Technique, but his trump card is the Cold Dragon Killing Spring, so naturally he doesn't want others to know that he can use a gun.

Zhang Mu sat down and waited for a while when he felt someone come in from behind the wooden board. Then he heard someone on the other side say, "Excuse me, sir."

"I am a forge master."

"I heard from the waiter that the guest wants to order a long gun. I don't know what specific requirements he has."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mu stated his requirements: "The length can be based on the standard long spear on the market, but the weight of the spear should be around 200 kilograms."

He is now much stronger, and without using his internal energy to support himself, the weight of 200 kilograms is just right.

"Two hundred kilograms, that would require forging with a hundred-fold tempered steel," the craftsman's voice came from the other side. "The cost is forty taels of silver. Is that acceptable to you, sir?"

Forty taels is not a small amount in Wan'an County.

Zhang Mu thought for a moment and said, "The spear must be able to withstand the massive infusion of internal energy in an instant!"

The other party was silent for a moment, then replied, "It can be done by adding red gold. One tael of red gold is worth twenty taels of silver. How many taels would you like to add?"

Zhang Mu was stunned. Is red gold so valuable?

The ratio of gold to silver is only one to ten, but this red gold is actually twice as much as gold.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Mu said, "Three or two."

Three taels of pure gold equals sixty taels of silver, which together with the previous offer is exactly one hundred taels.

"No problem." The craftsman opposite said, "Sir, please pick up the goods when you need them."

"The sooner the better."

"Thirty days." A voice came from the other side. "But if you need it urgently, you can ask the old craftsman to do it. It will take about twenty days, but the price will be increased by ten taels of silver."

Zhang Mu roughly calculated the time it would take for him to break through and said with a smile, "No need, just thirty days."

"Okay. Please wait a moment, and someone will come to settle the bill with you. Custom orders require full payment, so please understand."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Mu felt the person opposite him stand up and leave.

A moment later, the clerk walked in with a document in his hand and said, "Sir, this is your custom document. Please take a look."

Zhang Mu took the document and saw that the content was the same as what they had agreed upon before, so he nodded.

The clerk smiled and said, "After thirty days, you can come to my forge with this document to get your weapons."

Zhang Mu said no more, took out a silver note of one hundred taels from his pocket and handed it to the clerk, then put away the weapons and documents, and then stood up and walked out.

……

After becoming a disciple and buying a gun, Zhang Mu went straight back to the escort agency.

Next, I will continue to practice, break through the acupoints, and strive to reach the fifth level as soon as possible.

However, before starting to practice, Zhang Mu first summoned the Heavenly Secret List.

After the Tianji Ranking was updated a few days ago, a new ranking list has been deduced.

Although Zhang Mu intentionally avoided the areas where the top masters of the county were known to be located, the list he compiled this time was still a bit troublesome.

The first place was held by a seventh-grade Tongmai realm expert, who was at the same level as Song Yuanqing.

As for the rest, there are eleven at the sixth level, eighteen at the fifth level, and the rest are at the third and fourth levels.

The cost of the challenge has also increased.

For example, for the third rank, one needs about seven taels of silver worth of luck to challenge it once.

For the fourth rank, the luck required to challenge it soars to ten taels of silver.

This price increase is inhumane!
Zhang Mu first complained about the Tianji Ranking in his mind, and then began the challenge.

Not until all the silver luck that was previously on the list was used up did Zhang Mu reach the 79th place on the new list.

The innate martial luck also underwent twenty-one enhancements again.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dusk.

Zhang Mu went to the kitchen to eat dinner, then returned to his own courtyard to continue his cultivation. He still had five acupoints left on his Du meridian, and he wanted to open them all before his teacher returned.

Zhang Mu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in practice.

……

The sun is just right.

Xuan Ji was skipping and jumping in front, while Ya Ye was following behind Xuan Ji carrying a basket.

The man and the cat left the county town and walked along a small path. Soon they saw a small forest.

Xuan Ji and Ya Ye walked into the woods.

After walking a few dozen feet in the woods, I saw a small tomb in the distance.

In front of the tomb, there were a few mice. When they saw Xuan Ji, they hurried over, kowtowed and bowed, and then squeaked non-stop.

"Meow!" Xuan Ji called out, and the mice immediately quieted down.

"No one has been here, meow." Xuan Ji said to Uncle Ya, and then went straight to the grave.

There was no tombstone on the tomb, and it was just exposed outside. But when Xuan Ji approached, a vague golden light suddenly appeared in the tomb.

Uncle Ya began to take out fruits, incense, candles, and tea from the basket and began to arrange them, while Xuan Ji sat directly in front of the grave.

"Meow~ Lao Deng, I'm here to see you again. Are you happy, meow?"

"Forget it, you've already been burned to ashes, and there's only your wooden fish in the grave..."

"Lao Deng, why hasn't the person you asked me to wait for come yet..."

"I've been waiting for years."

"They won't all die like you, will they?"

"Old Deng, I'm very powerful now, meow."

"I can catch ten mice in one night."

"Don't worry, meow. You said not to kill. I only caught them, I didn't kill them. Well... fish don't count as raw~"

"Old Deng, I've made a lot of money. When your fellow disciples come to me, I'll give them all the money, meow~"

"Let them build many temples and erect many Buddha statues."

"Will you be happy, meow?"

"By the way, Old Deng, I recently took in a servant. He's a man of great luck and as good-looking as you, meow."

"He listens to me."

"He's just a loyal servant..."

"I'll bring him to see you next time, meow... Oh, never mind. You said you can't bring anyone else to see you, meow..."

"No! He's my servant, so he's not someone else's, meow."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll bring him to visit you next time!"

"Lao Deng, you said Buddhism believes in reincarnation. Are you reincarnated now, meow?"

"You've done so many good deeds, so you'll be a good-looking person in this life, right?"

As Xuan Ji was talking on and on, Ya Ye arranged the offerings, knelt on the ground and kowtowed dozens of times, then stood up and stood by.

After talking for a long time, Xuan Ji felt that she had said everything she wanted to say, so she stood up and said, "Lao Deng, let's go..."

"I'll come see you again next month and help you activate your communication device."

"Master Ya, let's go, meow."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ya took the wooden fish in his hand and knocked it three times again.

Three wooden fish sounds were also heard from the tomb, and the tomb slowly sank into the ground. After a moment, it turned into a flat land without any trace.

Master Ya collected all the offerings, carefully eliminated all traces around them, and nodded at Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji looked reluctantly at the place where there was no trace of the grave, then turned around and walked towards the county town.

However, shortly after Xuan Ji and Ya Ye left, another figure appeared in the woods.

The man was wearing a cassock and holding a staff. The copper ring on the staff was jingling.

The man stopped, looked up at the staff, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yideng, you made me search so hard..."

But the next moment, the smile immediately turned into a gloomy one.

"Unfortunately, your fellow disciples have been sent to paradise by us, and we can no longer receive your communication..."

"Now you are the only one missing..."
