Upstairs on the second floor, there were suddenly a lot fewer people. The spacious room had only a handful of customers, and a middle-aged man wearing a gray long shirt was sitting behind the counter sipping tea.

  The young man bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man and then whispered a few words in his ear.

  "Oh? Young hero wants to choose a heavy spear?" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Ming with great interest, "How heavy of a spear do you want?"

  "Eight hundred catties."

  "Eight hundred catties?" The middle-aged mans eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, "An eight-hundred-catty cannon requires at least four thousand catties of strength. Did you use that much force?"

  Lin Mingdao said: "Once you get used to it, even if its not convenient now, it will become more convenient in the future."

  "Hah! Youve got guts, let me show you a rifle."

  The middle-aged man stood up and walked towards a side room. A moment later, he came out with a long wooden box in his hand. Although he was just walking casually, Lin Ming noticed that every step the middle-aged man took made the wooden floor creak softly, "creaking" sounds that were emitted by the wood fibers being unable to withstand the weight.

  Obviously, the wooden box in his hand was very heavy!

  The middle-aged man placed the box horizontally on the counter, opened the lid, and inside was wrapped in thick cloth strips an eight-foot-long gun.

  The middle-aged man untied the cloth strip, and suddenly revealed the purple-black gun body and dark red gun head. On the middle of the purple-black gun body, two characters were engraved in seal script - "Guàn Hóng".

  These two words are ancient and mellow, matching that heavy gun rod, as if a vast and profound aura is rushing towards me.

  Good gun!

  The middle-aged man said: "This gun is called Guan Hong, the gun body is eight feet long, and the gun head is eight inches long. Its a semi-precious instrument."

  "Huh? Semi-precious artifact?"

  The middle-aged man said: "Only the gun head is a treasure, the gun stock is not."

  Lin Ming suddenly understood, the gun stock was difficult to engrave with array patterns due to its complex craftsmanship, but the gun head was like a sword, and it could naturally be engraved with array patterns to become a treasure.

  However, without the formation on the gun barrel, the true yuan cannot be connected, and the power is naturally greatly discounted.

  The middle-aged man said: "Although guns are not precious instruments, in terms of tenacity, they are stronger than the lower-grade precious instruments of ordinary people."

  The difference between a treasured instrument and an ordinary weapon lies in the fact that a treasured instrument has an array method engraved on it, which can be infused with true yuan, but it doesnt mean that a treasured instrument is necessarily more durable than an ordinary weapon.

  The master craftsman who forges the treasure instrument must first be a warrior. Ordinary craftsmen, because they do not have true yuan and do not understand array methods, cannot forge treasure instruments. However, sometimes ordinary craftsmen use top-grade materials and add on secret techniques passed down through generations to also forge divine weapons. In terms of sharpness and solidity, this kind of divine weapon might be even stronger than a treasure instrument!

  Of course, this kind of divine soldier cannot infuse true yuan. In actual combat, when using martial skills, its power will be inferior to that of a treasure instrument.

  The middle-aged man said: "This guns stock is made of purple steel, the gun head is made of cloud-patterned steel, and the two sides of the gun blade are mixed with mysterious gold. It is extremely sharp. The gun head and stock were originally together and cannot be separated. It weighs 820 catties."

  Is the crows beak iron?

  Lin Ming had heard the Transmission Master talk about this strange metal during class. This metal was incredibly heavy and possessed excellent elasticity, making it suitable for crafting strong bows. When paired with high-grade beast tendon strings, these bows could easily shoot arrows over 2,000 feet away, piercing even steel plates with a single shot!

  This purple-steel spear shaft is made of a special material, an eight-part thick spear shaft can be bent into a semicircle, the force of shooting out can cut off a tree trunk as thick as a mans arm, a warrior with a strength of over 5,000 catties, with just a flick of his wrist, relying solely on the vibration of the spear shaft, can kill a person.

  However, the good iron of Zi Wu Dan is forged thousands and tens of thousands of times during its formation, so its impossible to engrave any array methods inside, all array methods will be forged out, so it cant be used to manufacture treasure instruments.

  But even so, Zi Wu Dan Tie is loved by many alchemy masters because its simply too suitable for making gun barrels and strong bows.

  Lin Ming grasped the gun handle made of Zi Wu Tiejian in his hand and shook it forcefully, causing the gun handle to vibrate up and down. However, the amplitude of the vibration was not large, which was because Lin Mings strength was insufficient to shake open the Zi Wu Tiejian.

  However, the middle-aged man was still shocked. This young man had an extremely abnormal strength! He could shake the gun barrel like that, and his strength was probably no less than 3,000 catties! Looking at him, he was only at the peak of the second layer of body training, but what a good physique he had!

  Lin Ming waved it a few more times, eight hundred and twenty kilograms, picking it up was still easy, but waving it would absolutely not be easy, fighting with such a weapon, even if Lin Ming had the "Chaotic True Yuan Technique" to support him, he would soon exhaust his physical strength.

  But Lin Ming was not worried, he would soon break through, so this weight was just right.

  "How much is this gun?"

  "Nine thousand taels of gold!"

  Nine thousand taels... Lin Ming was not overly surprised, this gun was worth this price. Just the cloud-patterned wootz steel gun head alone was worth three thousand taels, and the purple-black iron gun body was absolutely not cheap at six thousand taels.

  Lin Ming took out all the gold tickets and also took out the purple gold VIP card, pressed it on the table. This Shenbing Hall has also joined the Union Chamber of Commerce, which can use the VIP card, with a 10% discount, and can be reduced to 8,100 taels. However, even so, Lin Mings total gold tickets still lacked 50 taels.

  The middle-aged mans eyes lit up slightly when he saw the VIP card, "Is the young master from the Marshals Mansion?"

  Lin Mings heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, its just that one of my friends is in the Marshals Manor."

  Although Lin Ming said it lightly, the middle-aged man knew that this young mans friend must be an important figure in the Marshals Mansion, otherwise he wouldnt have a VIP card and would give it to someone as a gift. He smiled: "So thats how it is, since youre an honored guest of the Marshals Mansion, Ill only charge Young Master eight thousand taels for this gun."

  "Thank you." Lin Ming didnt pretend to be polite. One hundred taels of gold was nothing, whether it was to him or the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

  The fellow wrapped the gun in a cloth strip and put it back in the box. Lin Ming shouldered the box, bid farewell, and then rushed towards the rear mountain.

  The body of the gun is made of purple steel, and the head of the gun is made of top-grade cloud-patterned wrought iron. The total weight is 820 catties. Just thinking about it makes Lin Ming excited!

  Lin Ming came back to the empty land behind the mountain, because he was carrying a gun of eight hundred and twenty catties on his back, every step he took made a footprint in the grass under his feet.

  Feeling the heavy pressure from behind, Lin Mings heart surged with a heroic spirit. He aimed at a large boulder and struck it down with a fierce blow. With a loud "clang", the massive rock was crushed without any suspense. Due to the elasticity of the gun handle, Lin Mings hand did not feel too much recoil force. This was the advantage of the Purple Black Iron Gun. If it were a pure Xuan iron gun handle, this shock would have numbed his tiger mouth. If the counterforce were even greater, it could have cracked open his tiger mouth.

  "Haha, nice shot!"

  Lin Ming wielded the long spear with abandon, not knowing any spear techniques, and completely followed the routine of fist techniques. The eight hundred twenty jin heavy spear danced in the air, majestic and powerful. Lin Ming danced for a full minute before gradually feeling his arms ache and his strength waning.

  This gun is heavy!

  Just then, a burst of flame appeared in front of Lin Ming, hmm, a Sound Transmission Symbol?
