Little Tail looked at the small magnetic bracelet that was polished by Boss Tang and handed it to Lu Yu with both hands.

Lu Yu saw her actions and said, “This magnetic bracelet is for you. Remember to keep it well. It will be useful in the future.”

Little Tail took back the small magnetic bracelet in surprise and couldn’t wait to put it on her wrist. Unfortunately, her wrist was too thin to wear it.

After discovering this problem, Little Tail looked a little troubled.

With money in his hands, Lu Yu was not insecure anymore. Lu Yu looked at Little Tail and felt that she was a lot more pleasing to the eye. He took out a string from his backpack and helped her tie the bracelet.

The bracelet turned into a necklace, but the necklace seemed to be a little too big.

But Little Tail was very happy. She put the necklace on her neck and touched it from time to time.

Lu Yu saw her and shook his head. He said to her, “I’m going out for a while. You stay here and don’t wander around.”

After saying that, Lu Yu walked out of the backyard and headed towards the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Although Boss Tang was a good person, he couldn’t afford a large amount of iron essence. Therefore, Lu Yu planned to sell it at the Divine Weapon Pavilion. He disguised himself a little on the way.

“Shopkeeper, someone is looking for you.”

The shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion walked down from the third floor with some doubts. When he saw a man wearing a paper bag on his head standing in the hall on the first floor, his eyes twitched. This disguise was a little perfunctory!

The shopkeeper walked to Lu Yu and asked, “Are you the one who said that you want to sell iron essence?”

“Yes.” Lu Yu took out a small bag that he prepared. It contained a little iron essence and handed it to the shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The shopkeeper took the bag and found that the bag still had some weight. He opened it and looked at it. It was indeed iron essence, but he didn’t need to show up for such a small amount of iron essence.

“I have more iron essence.” As he spoke, a full cloth bag suddenly appeared in Lu Yu’s hand, but he didn’t pass it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper saw the cloth bag suddenly appear on Lu Yu’s hand and noticed the dark green ring on Lu Yu’s index finger. He was slightly surprised. He didn’t expect that there would be people who had storage rings in such a remote place like Windmill Town.

However, he felt that this ring was a little strange. It was different from ordinary storage rings. It was more like a low-quality jade ring sold by street vendors.

Ignoring the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, the shopkeeper looked at the cloth bag filled with iron essence and said in a much more polite tone, “Please, let’s talk about the details on the second floor.”

Lu Yu and the shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion came to a private room on the second floor. This room was originally prepared for customers who needed custom-made spirit weapons, but the amount of iron essence in Lu Yu’s hand was enough for him to take it seriously.

Through the two holes dug out from the paper bag, Lu Yu could see the shopkeeper’s expression. After seeing that shopkeeper’s expression was normal and that he didn’t have any improper thoughts, Lu followed him up to the second floor.

In the private room, Lu Yu took out two bags containing iron essence and placed them in front of the shopkeeper. He planned to exchange them all for money.

The shopkeeper saw that he also had a bag full of iron essence and was slightly surprised. He took out an object with a round plate on its top from the storage bag. It looked like an electronic scale in reality.

After placing the scale, the shopkeeper picked up the cloth bag and poured the iron essence inside onto the round plate.

As Lu Yu got closer, he was surprised to find that there was a small bright horizontal line on the base of the scale. As more and more iron essence poured onto the scale, the horizontal line became higher and higher.

After all the iron essence was poured into the scale, he waited for a while, and the small horizontal line stabilized and did not move.

The shopkeeper looked at it carefully and said, “It’s a total of five catties, six taels, and seven maces. According to the market price, the iron essence is 80 gold coins for one tael. That’s a total of 4,536 gold coins.”

After saying that, he put all the iron essence on the scale into a stone box, took out a money bag, and filled it with 4,536 gold coins.

Lu Yu put away the money bag and left the box with the shopkeeper. When they walked to the hall on the second floor, they saw the weapons placed on the exquisite weapons platform and took a few more glances at them.

The shopkeeper noticed his actions and said, “These are all grade one spirit weapons. The cheapest one is 1,200 gold coins, and the most expensive one is 4,300 gold coins. If you want one, you can pick one. I’ll give you a 15% discount.”

Lu Yu was speechless when he heard that spirit weapons were so expensive. However, he still had to maintain his image as an expert, so he said, “No need. These spirit weapons are too weak (light).”

The shopkeeper didn’t think too much about it. An expert who possessed a storage ring naturally wouldn’t be interested in these ordinary first or second grade spirit weapons, so he politely sent Lu Yu out of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

As for Lu Yu’s identity, the shopkeeper wasn’t interested. He was just a businessman.

Lu Yu walked to a secluded alley, tore up the bag that he took from the medicine shop and threw it away. He took off the fake storage ring on his index finger and put it into his backpack. After tidying up his clothes, he walked out of the alley.

After returning to the small courtyard, he took out a gold coin and threw it to Little Tail. He said, “Think about what you want to buy. I’ll only give you a little time to buy things.”

Lu Yu had promised Little Tail that he would give her money and brought her out to buy things.

This was his principle. If he couldn’t do it, he wouldn’t make a promise. If he made a promise, he would do his best to do it.

Of course, Lu Yu was not a pedantic person. Whether he followed his principles or not depended on the target. If he was an enemy, then there was nothing much to say.

Little Tail took the gold coins in a flurry. Her face was dull as she looked at the gold coin in her hand. It did not feel real. This was the first time she had touched such a shiny gold thing.

“One gold coin equals 100 silver coins. How many copper coins is that?” Little Tail could not count it clearly, but she knew that it was a lot. It was the first time she had so much money. Her brain was not working for a moment.

Seeing that she was stunned on the spot, Lu Yu didn’t bother with her. He opened the system store and began to spend money.
