77: Chapter 77 The Deal!

"Weapons, armor, special pills! Martial arts techniques from the Ministry of War!"

"Warhorses!"

Han Sui nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Warhorses are quite expensive; let's take it one step at a time."

"As for weapons and armor... what kind do you want?"

"For minor merits, what quality of armor and weapons can be exchanged?"

"Inferior, ordinary, fine, superior, flawless... and jade-grade."

"For weapons... you can exchange for second-grade fine quality."

"For armor, if you pay two minor merits, I can exchange it for a second-grade superior set for you."

"The gap is that large?"

"The Materials are different, so the value is naturally different!"

Shen Yi nodded and stated his requirements.

"I need heavy armor, the kind used for charging into enemy lines."

"I also need a pair of hammers... or heavy weapons!"

This was naturally prepared for Wang Meng.

Wang Meng had achieved a Breakthrough during the battle, and since he had contributed the most in this fight, he naturally needed to be rewarded.

Besides increasing Wang Meng's combat power, this move could also boost the troops' morale.

It would make the soldiers fight even harder.

Through this, he could slowly forge a tiger-and-wolf army...

Besides, Wang Meng was his absolute confidant; he couldn't let such a great treasure be killed halfway because of poor weapons or armor.

He wouldn't even have time to cry if that happened...

Han Sui thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Hammers... such unconventional weapons are not common."

"This item has many limitations on the battlefield, and only fierce generals who are good at crushing horses like them."

"If you don't have a specific preference for weapons... there is a second-grade fine Xuanhua Axe in the storehouse!"

"It costs one minor merit."

Shen Yi nodded.

"That will do!"

"As for heavy armor, there is a set of Mountain-Opening Armor in the storehouse, made from the leather and scales of a third-grade Yao Beast, the Mountain-Piercing Beast."

"It is exceptionally tough."

"Not only that... this item can also resist some Daoist Magic, so it can be considered to have both physical and magical resistance."

"Two minor merits, it's not expensive."

"That will do..."

"What about after that? You still have one minor merit and three major merits... what do you want to exchange the minor merit for?"

"A warhorse."

"Warhorses are quite expensive... one first-grade Azure Scale Horse."

"That works."

"And the major merits?"

"Are there any special pills similar to the soldier armor pill?"

"Naturally there are... one major merit can be exchanged for fifty soldier armor pills, but these fifty soldier armor pills can only be used by First-grade Dao Soldiers."

"But my subordinates... can use them at the second grade."

"The soldier armor pills from the Zhenwu Immortal Sect are complete."

"Are these the ones cut-corners by the masters at the Ministry of War?"

"I didn't say that, Brother Shen; you have to be reasonable when you speak."

"Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Then let's make the exchange!"

"Alright."

"Regarding city defense... heavy weapons, and Formations? Does Lord Han have any recommendations?"

"A first-grade Wonder Arrow Tower... it can condense Evil Qi crossbow bolts to attack and kill enemies, capable of killing up to second-grade."

"Where does this Evil Qi come from?"

"A first-grade Wonder Evil Qi Pool... it can accumulate Evil Qi."

Shen Yi was speechless upon hearing this.

"So after all that, you're trying to bundle the sale here?"

"Besides, these two are described as first-grade wonders, but their functions are vastly different, right?"

Han Sui chuckled.

"It's like this these days; otherwise, how would the masters at the Ministry of War make a living?"

Shen Yi felt helpless...

"Are there any other options?"

"Naturally, there are."

"Three-Color Crossbow... two major merits."

"This item was jointly developed by the Daoist sects, the Pavilion of Craftsmen, and the masters at the Ministry of War."

"It can use Official Aura, Spiritual Qi, and Evil Qi as energy sources!"

"It can fire three types of crossbow bolts... Explosive Flame Arrows are a Spiritual Qi method, capable of causing Five Elements fire-attribute damage."

"Evil Qi Arrows can cause armor-piercing and magic-breaking damage."

"Myriad Feather Arrows can cause area-of-effect damage... they can release Evil Qi and fire feathers to clear out the riffraff."

Shen Yi thought for a moment and decided to exchange for it!

Things in his own pocket were the good things.

The Ministry of War was not a bank, and he didn't have the good habit of saving money!

Having exhausted all his major merits, someone soon brought over a wooden box.

Han Sui activated a technique, the wooden box opened, and brilliant light flickered.

Soon, the items were all accounted for.

Shen Yi waved his hand and stored them in his spatial object.

Everyone was already accustomed to this.

The horse was led to Yan Shu.

After chatting for a while, Shen Yi got up and left.

After Shen Yi left, the two looked at each other.

Han Sui took a deep breath and said.

"Is there a Daoist Cultivator behind this Shen Yi?"

Chu Sheng sighed and said.

"Who knows? Anyway... he's not someone to be trifled with."

"Did you see the mark on his forehead?"

Han Sui nodded... and said in a muffled voice.

"Sword Qi... Sword Intent."

"He is also a top-tier Sword Cultivator."

"These are indeed troubled times... many old monsters are making their moves frequently."

"Sigh, let's take it one step at a time!"

After leaving the government office, without lingering too long, Shen Yi returned to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

Steward Zhao came out to greet him, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Lord Shen, the modification of the Evil Flag will take some time... once it's done, I'll have Brother Wang send it back to you."

"You had to make a trip yourself... why bother?"

Shen Yi chuckled.

"Naturally, to give Steward Zhao a massive merit."

"Steward Zhao... do you want it, or not?"

Steward Zhao was stunned for a moment, then led him into the room.

Pouring a pot of tea, Steward Zhao asked.

"Brother Shen, let's get straight to the point."

Shen Yi didn't stand on ceremony and took out the list.

He didn't want to go on any expeditions during this period.

He just needed to honestly wait for the Official of the Ministry of Personnel to arrive and evaluate his merits... then he could get promoted.

If any mishaps occurred, he would regret it until his intestines turned green.

What was even more terrifying was that he didn't want to be targeted by the Great Black Heaven Mother Buddha Sect!

This thing was a hot potato; it was better to throw it away!

Steward Zhao looked strange, took the booklet from his hand, and his pupils suddenly constricted... then he revealed a wry smile.

"I knew Brother Shen would definitely know clues about this evil sect."

"But I didn't expect Brother Shen to know so much."

"The chamber of commerce was wondering... how they had searched all around Taiping County and never found a single evil sect Cultivator."

"I didn't expect it to be in the Beihe River Basin."

"It truly was a case of a leaf blinding the eyes to the sight of Mount Tai."

Steward Zhao closed the booklet and looked at Shen Yi solemnly.

"Brother Shen, name your price!"

"I know you wouldn't scam me..."

Shen Yi nodded as if it were a serious matter.

"That goes without saying."

"What do you want?"

"I want a Spiritual Vein."

Steward Zhao gasped.

"You're not trying to scam me... you're trying to kill me?"

"Ten lists from you wouldn't be worth the price of a graded Spiritual Vein!"

Shen Yi scratched his head and asked tentatively.

"Then how about a water vein... how is that?"

"A graded water vein?"

"That works... but it must be guaranteed not to dry up within a hundred years."

"Small matter..."

"It would be best if it carried some Spiritual Qi."

"You are pushing it a bit."

"It would be best if it could raise spirit fish..."

"Brother Shen!!! Stop dreaming in broad daylight!"
