Taoist master wants to ascend

sickle?

The young man hawking was slightly startled and turned back to look at the sickle on his grandfather's waist.

The sickle, commonly known as a cutting knife, is in the shape of a crescent with finely serrated edges and a wooden handle at the end. It is used to harvest rice and wheat. It is the most common agricultural tool in the countryside and is widely circulated.

But the sickle on the old man's waist was obviously no ordinary sickle.

The handle was dark and seemed to be integrated with the crescent blade. Although it was full of gaps and even seemed to be broken, the blade was still very long. Li Yuan estimated that it was at least twice as long as an ordinary sickle blade.

"The blade of the knife must be more than thirty centimeters, and it doesn't look like a farm tool..."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Huh? You want to buy my scythe?"

The old man was about sixty years old. He was thin and his face was full of ravines of time. Hearing this, he took off the sickle from his waist and touched it reluctantly:

"This sickle was left behind by my grandfather. It has been with me all my life, but I can't bear to sell it..."

"grandfather……"

The young man tugged on the old man's clothes.

"If you want it, the old man can't give it up, it's just the price..."

The old man ignored his grandson and kept talking to himself.

"Can you please let me pass?"

Li Yuan didn't want to lower the price either.

The two men's feet were covered with mud, and they were still wearing patched cotton clothes in the cold winter. They were obviously poor people in the village.

"Then you have to be careful. Although this sickle has more holes, it is also very sharp..."

The old man muttered and reluctantly handed over the sickle.

White light!

Sure enough, he has entered the level!

The sickle was slightly heavy in his hand, but Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and a white light appeared in the corner of his eyes.

[Three Yuan Army standard sickle]

[Forged from the finest black gold iron, it was forged by eighteen raging fires. Its owner loved it like crazy. He used it to drink the blood of his enemies and harvest crops for hundreds of years. The blade gradually became damaged and became supernatural...]

[Mastering requirements: Proficient in any skill]

[Controller effect: Master-level Saw, Horse, Scythe, and Long Soldier proficiency]

Damn it!

Li Yuan's hands shook, and the light in his eyes almost came out.

Not only is it a first-level weapon, but it is also an extraordinary first-level weapon, better than those Liuhe boots. Not only does it increase the level of swordsmanship, it also...

[Long Weapon Mastery: The long-handled sickle is extremely difficult to learn. It cannot be learned except by those who have amazing talents in weapons. The former master's talent was quite good, and his hard work has given rise to supernatural powers...]

"Sent!"

Li Yuan almost forgot where he was, but the old man shouted a few times when he saw him in a daze.

"I want this... sickle!"

Li Yuan held the knife and sickle tightly, without any intention of bargaining, and directly quoted the low price:

"Old man, what do you think of three taels of silver?"

Li Yuan would never do this when buying things normally. Even though the two of them looked miserable, this sickle was really good and of great use to him.

No matter how low the price was, he would not feel guilty.

"Three, three liang?!"

The two men looked at each other, and even the old man who wanted to make a deal was a little dumbfounded, and the idea came to him at the same time.

"Is this broken sickle still a treasure?"

"grandfather!"

The young man pulled off the old man's arm again, this time because he was afraid that he would betray him.

The old man still ignored him this time, but took out the most complete and best piece of leather from under the stall and handed it to Li Yuan:

"How can a sickle be worth three taels? With this wolf skin, it's almost..."

"The old man is very particular!"

Li Yuan took a deep look at the two men, put down three taels of silver, wrapped the sickle in a wolf skin, turned and left.

…

"Grandpa, why are you doing that?!"

The young man stamped his feet repeatedly: "Although the wolf skin is bald, it is worth at least one, two, six, and the sickle. What, how..."

"People see you as pitiful and don't lower the price. You are a kind person. If we raise the price again, you can afford to lose face, but the old man can't afford to lose it!"

The old man put away the money, took out the tobacco bag from under the stall, took a puff, and spit it out gently:

"That sickle has been in our house for more than a hundred years, and it can hardly cut the grass anymore. Even if it is a treasure, it shows that it is not destined to be with us..."

"Can……"

The young man felt that he was at a loss, angry and helpless.

The old man sat down wrapped in leather and smoked a cigarette. He glanced at the direction in which Li Yuan was going.

Still want to trick people?

He is good at martial arts, my silly grandson!

…

…

"That old man is a bit interesting..."

Looking back at the invisible stall, Li Yuan's heart was still pounding.

Make a lot of money!

The advanced-level sickle skills have already made a lot of money, not to mention the 'long-soldier proficiency'.

A hammer is also a long weapon!

"Don't be too excited..."

Li Yuan touched the thirteen taels of silver in his arms and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

While it was still dark, he bought two more kilograms of pork, a salted fish and a chicken, and walked to his second brother's house in Chai Yu Fang.

On the way, when it was getting dark and there were few pedestrians, he couldn't help but sneak into a deserted alley, stuffed the wolf skin into his arms, and tightened his grip on the sickle handle:

"Control!"

After muttering silently, the nearly one meter long sickle was placed on the gray stone platform.

"I have mastered the cloak hammer, and the training hammer doesn't have much effect on me anymore... This sickle is just right for me!"

Without hesitation, Li Yuan raised the sickle and handed it to the weapon.

boom!

Li Yuan almost fell to the ground, as if his head was smashed by a sledgehammer, and he seemed to lose his mind.

After a long while, he shook his head, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and his nosebleeds came out. His mind was even more dizzy, as if he had been hungover and hadn't slept all night...

But he didn't seem to notice it, and the excitement in his heart almost overflowed.

"Making a lot of money, making a lot of money!"

Without closing his eyes, Li Yuan could clearly feel his huge improvement. He looked down at the shadow of the sickle that flashed across his palm.

In addition to the breathing method, the Thirteen-position sawing, horse-sword and sickle technique, the accompanying pile skills and kicking techniques were clearly visible in his mind, and all kinds of experiences kept rolling through his mind.

It's as if he has practiced the sword and sickle technique for decades, starting from scratch and achieving great success!

"That's not all..."

Li Yuan's fingers were trembling slightly, as if he couldn't wait to grasp a weapon.

He didn't quite understand the blessing of Changbing's proficiency at this time, but he vaguely knew that it was probably even more important than Dacheng's sickle skills!

"Proficient-level cloak hammer, advanced-level sickle skills, some martial arts fighting hammers, plus long-soldier proficiency...I am now..."

For a moment, it was as if he had decades of experience in martial arts training. This feeling was so strong and shocking that Li Yuan was in a trance:

"Can you beat Qin Xiong?"

Thinking of the giant man who was more than two meters tall, Li Yuan lost most of his excitement.

"It's still not enough!"

After rubbing his hands back and forth, Li Yuan picked up the chicken and fish he bought and walked quickly to the entrance of the alley where his second brother's house was. Before he reached the door, he heard the sharp voice of his second sister-in-law.

"Second brother got scolded again..."

Li Yuan almost didn't want to go in, but even though he came, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the courtyard door that was still open.

"wrong……"

Li Yuan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that there was no sound from the other two families in the yard, only the second sister-in-law's scolding.

"I worked hard to pay you back the money, and you borrowed it again! Sooner or later, you two brothers will be thrown into the clear water lake to feed the bastard!"

Li Yuan didn't want to go in again.

Li Lin had already seen him, but before the two brothers could make any move, the woman with her hands on her hips had already turned around.

But he just stared at Li Yuan, too angry to curse.

"Sister-in-law, second brother."

Li Yuan put down the things he bought, glanced at the messy room, and couldn't help but frown:

"what happened?"

Li Lin lowered his head and gestured for him to leave quickly.

"Don't leave, let's make it clear today!"

The second sister-in-law's face turned red with anger.

Li Yuan didn't scold him, he just took out the money from his arms and put it silently on the table.

"Thirteen taels of silver?!"

"Where did you get so much money?"

The expressions of both of them changed. Li Lin's eyes widened, and even the second sister-in-law, who had her hands on her hips, was startled.

"Qian Baolai came to collect debts?"

Before the two of them could ask, Li Yuan asked first.

"without……"

Li Lin's face looked a little unnatural.

"If Qian Baolai hadn't come to collect the debt, I wouldn't have known that he had borrowed ten taels of silver. How could I send you to the weapon forging shop for just one tael of silver?"

The second sister-in-law became angry again and started to curse again with her hands on her hips.

"Second brother, didn't you borrow it for a year? Why are you here to collect the debt today?"

Li Yuan frowned.

Private lending for the Universiade has a long history. From officials to common people, everyone has heard of it even if they have never borrowed it. Over time, there will naturally be rules.

It is a rule to leave at nine times and return at thirteen times, and the same is naturally true for debt documents.

There is no reason to borrow money for a year and then come to collect the debt within a few months.

"That bitch is so shameless. He said that no matter what, he would have to pay him thirteen taels back within ten days! That bitch..."

The second sister-in-law cursed loudly, this time it was Qian Bao.

"You have to pay back thirteen taels in ten days?"

Li Yuan nodded, picked up the silver and weighed it:

"Second brother, give me the IOU. When I go back, I will pay it back to him on the way."
