Chapter 170: Fair Prices, No Deception
Huo Tuo's originally happy mood suddenly fell to the bottom. If Lu Xuan really wanted to give everything to the important people, there would be no room for negotiation on this matter. Now Lu Xuan made it clear that there was room for negotiation.
As a shrewd man, he immediately understood what the other party meant. They wanted to raise the price!
He had been in the forging world for so many years, but he didn't expect to fall into a trap today. However, thinking of his little granddaughter at home, he gritted his teeth and prepared to agree.
"Friend Lu, these materials of mine can make four sets of all-round armor and magic tools. The remaining materials plus my collection can make five sets of second-level armor and magic tools. I will make them for you for free."
Lu Xuan sat on the Diaoyutai, his eyebrows raised, "Then I can't wait that long for this to be made. I'm just a high-level mage, what if I can't wear it?"
He put forward his request. He wanted to give away all these armors and magic tools, and he was worried that there might be a situation where they could not be used.
Huo Tuo patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, it won't take me long to forge it. If you need it urgently, I can use it as soon as I finish forging a set.
I can let you use the monarch-level armor magic tool at a high level, but the defense will be greatly reduced. After you reach a certain level of strength, you can unlock it. "
Lu Xuan nodded. If the armor magic tool was forged but could not be used, it would be just a decoration. Fortunately, Huo Tuo could solve this problem.
Now that he had no worries, it was time to talk to Huo Tuo about the price. As a master forger, the other party must be wealthy.
"Then I'm relieved, but what price do you plan to pay for it? I will only accept it here and accept barter."
Huo Tuo knew that the critical moment had come. Although he was prepared to bleed, he also hoped that the amount of bleeding would be less.
"Tell me what you want?"
Lu Xuan didn't hesitate and asked directly, "I'm not picky about various soul types. I can accept the Mind Stone. I don't mind if it's the Star Sea Sky Vein either."
Huo Tuo's face suddenly darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He had thought that Lu Xuan would ask for a very high price, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous.
These things weren't just cutting his arteries, they were simply trying to kill him, "Fuck! Little friend Lu, this is not kind, this is blackmail, do you know that?"
Seeing that Huo Tuo looked like he wanted to eat someone, Lu Xuan didn't care at all and his face was very calm.
He said slowly, "How can you say that? With our relationship, how can I cheat you? This price is still very fair."
Huo Tuo was so angry that he almost fainted. Lu Xuan was a dishonest man. He blackmailed him, an old comrade, as if it was a matter of course.
He couldn't hold back any longer and directly retorted: "The things you want are not something a normal person can ask for. I forged the armor and magic tools for you, and the things I put in are also of great value."
Lu Xuan looked indifferent. Although he knew that Huo Tuo might agree to these things, he had to stick to his bottom line at this time and make the other party propose the maximum limit he could bear.
He seemed to be thinking of Huo Tuo, and kindly advised: "If it really doesn't work, forget it. Anyway, I just need these things, and I don't care about the others. This way you can also earn some forging fees."
Seeing this, Huo Tuo knew that Lu Xuan was determined to cheat him, so he made a decision and told him the limit of what he could bear.
"I can only give out three Galaxy Veins at most. This is my bottom line. If I give out more, I will give up."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan also calculated in his heart that the current price of Galaxy Vein is a little over 1 million.
In the original novel, Huo Tuo helped Mo Fan to forge a set of magic armor worth about 20 million, and that was not even a true monarch-level material. Now helping him to forge so many magic tools at once, the cost must be quite high.
He glanced at Huo Tuo inadvertently, and the other party was staring at him with red eyes. It seemed that there was no way to raise the price anymore, so he had to stop here.
Thinking of this, he decided not to persist any longer. He thought that he would have no chance to squeeze anything out of Huo Tuo.
Immediately, he smiled and said, "Given the relationship between you and me, I will suffer a little loss. It's decided. When you have built it, I will come and get it."
Lu Xuan took out the strange bone that he had put back into the storage ring and placed it on the ice paper, and also took out the strange scale.
Huo Tuo no longer wanted to see Lu Xuan, and he immediately started to drive him away: "Go away, I don't want to see you now."
His heart was bleeding. He didn't receive any money for the construction, and he had to spend a lot of money. It was a major blow. He suffered a huge loss this time.
Lu Xuan didn't care about Huo Tuo's driving him away. After all, he had just extorted a sum of money, so it was normal for the other party to be a little upset.
After saying hello to Huo Tuo, he walked out of the reception room.

Next, Lu Xuan thought about his shadow system breaking through to a high level. Now that it has come out, he might as well awaken the third system of magic.
He first called Lingling and told her that a friend of his was going to awaken his magic and asked her to help make an appointment. After that, he chatted with her for a few words and hung up the phone.
After Lu Xuan left the Xibo Tower, he checked into a nearby hotel and disguised himself well.
Before awakening, he had to dress up a little. After all, with his current identity, it was a bit risky to awaken magic.
He wore a hooded windbreaker, fully armed his face, looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
After a long time, the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw the message from Lingling saying that the matter had been settled.
After Lu Xuan replied to a message, he walked to the balcony, jumped down directly without taking the usual route, found a blind spot where the surveillance camera was not visible, and walked out.
Not long after, Lu Xuan arrived at the most famous magic association in the Federation. Looking at the busy Mage Tower, he walked directly in and took the elevator, which soared to a height of 100 meters.
He walked out of the elevator and a magnificent hall appeared in his sight. Looking up, he saw a curved dome and a large number of magical murals.
The lobby lady in charge of reception, who was wearing a flowing white cheongsam, saw the figure coming towards her. Although she felt a little strange about Lu Xuan's outfit, she did not show it on her face.
After all, she had worked here for so many years and had seen all kinds of people. She put on a formal smile and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Magician?"
Lu Xuan noticed the look in the receptionist's eyes, but he didn't care. He did look a little out of place now.
He slowly said, "I'm here to awaken the magic department. I've already made an appointment. Take me directly to the awakening room."
"Yes sir, please follow me to the Awakening Room."
The lobby lady made an inviting gesture with her hand and walked ahead to bring it.
