This town is located at the foot of the mountain of the Artifact Gate. It is a window for the sect to the outside world. When many outsiders come to the Artifact Gate to find magic weapons, they have to rest and find ways in the town.

Of course, if all you want is ordinary equipment, then you can basically meet the needs by going to the largest shop in the center of the town that covers almost one-tenth of the town.

The shop is opened by the door of the artifacts. A plaque is hung high at the main entrance, with three golden characters on it.

After entering the shop, I took a few rounds and came to Xu Hui's residence. The Artifact Pavilion is one of the outer door industries of the Artifact Pavilion. Xu Hui is the manager of the Artifact Pavilion. He has a single room, which is also a privileged person.

After gently pushing open the door, Xu Yi immediately saw his father sitting on the chair.

"Father."

Xu Hui's body trembled slightly and he suddenly looked up. At this moment, Xu Yi could see clearly. His face was pale and there was no blood.

If it is an ordinary 16 or 17-year-old child, he may not notice it. But Xu Yi is different. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Father, what's wrong?"

Xu Hui looked at Xu Yi in a daze, and two lines of old tears suddenly shed from the corners of his eyes.

Xu Yi made rapid progress, covered the door, came to Xu Hui, and said, "Father, what happened, say slowly, don't worry."

Xu Hui sighed, reached out and lit the table, and said, "Look."

Xu Yi turned his head and looked at it. There was a wooden box on the table. At this time, the wooden box was opened, and there was a metal block the size of an adult fist. The metal block was so dark that it was inconspicuous. After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yi reached out to pick up the metal block, feeling a cold air spreading up from his palm, making him shivering.

Although Xu Yi could not recognize the origin of this thing, he also knew that this thing was definitely extraordinary.

"I came to the store yesterday to sell this thing. After the father's identification, I confirmed that it was an extremely rare thousand-year-old cold iron, so I decided to take it away. But..." Xu Hui's face looked sad and said, "I've been blinding the geese all day long, but I was pecked by the geese."

Xu Yi immediately understood and said, "Father, isn't this a thousand-year-old cold iron?"

"Hey, this is a thousand-year-old cold iron, but only one layer of cold iron on the surface is cold iron." Xu Hui pulled out a dagger and cut it hard on the metal block, which immediately cut through the skin.

Xu Yi looked at it and immediately saw the trick. It turned out that under a layer of the surface of the metal block, there was another mineral.

Xu Hui smiled bitterly and said, "Look, this is actually a piece of heavy iron, but the surface is filled with a layer of thousand-year-old cold iron juice."

Xu Yi's thoughts were heard and said, "Father, it is inevitable that a mistake will be made by chance. At worst, our family will compensate you." He smiled deliberately, "Father, our family will not be able to afford this."

Waving his hand, Xu Hui said, "It is inevitable that the eye can be done, and the store has a certain exemption. Besides, although this thousand-year-old cold iron is precious, it cannot be used up. It was just a few days ago that Zhang Tou told me that because I have worked hard for many years, I plan to promote me to the appraisal manager and let me do some achievements as much as possible. Alas, this kind of thing happened at this critical juncture, and more than ten years of hard work were ruined."

Although supervisors and managers sound similar, their status and power are actually far apart. Once promoted to supervisor, they will be the middle-level leader in the store.

Xu Hui has limited talent and has not improved much after practicing for so many years, so he can only do some job here. But when people go to a higher level, such opportunities for improvement may only be encountered once in his life, so he naturally refuses to accept it.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Father, you have always been cautious in your work. Have you not carefully checked this thing when you collect it?"

Xu Hui smiled bitterly and said, "When the man was selling yesterday, he happened to meet the manager Gu, and asked questions. According to the rules, if I don't accept him, I can intervene. Alas, my father saw that the man didn't know the goods, and the price for sale was only one-third of that of the thousand-year-old cold iron, so he was a little anxious..."

"Haha, is this Gu Manager also one of the competitors of the supervisor?" Xu Yi sneered.

Xu Hui's mouth twitched slightly, but he remained silent.

Xu Yi suddenly realized that this matter was actually very simple, just a situation set up by Gu Manager. If it were normal, his father would probably not be fooled, but at the critical moment of promotion, facing his biggest competitor, he was psychologically imbalanced, which led to this mistake.

Xu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Father, then we can ship the goods and make up for them by ourselves?"

"I have considered this matter a long time, but the thousand-year-old cold iron is not an extraordinary thing. In another three days it will be the day of monthly inventory inventory. Just three days, I thought that my father's connections could find such a thing." Xu Hui smiled bitterly: "And this matter must not be widely publicized. If it falls into the head, it will be a mistake."

Xu Yi lowered his head and stared at the fake metal block. For a moment, countless thoughts flashed.

With a fierce gritted teeth, Xu Hui said: "Well, I'll go find my father to confess tomorrow. At worst, the position of the manager will be gone." He gritted his teeth and hated Gu Guanshi to the core.

Originally, the supervisor was expected, but he was plotted against him and he might not even be able to keep his position as a manager. You can imagine the resentment in his heart.

Xu Yi reached out his hand, pried it with his father's knife for a moment, took out the black stone inside, and then squeezed the layer of thousand-year-old cold iron on the surface together.

This is just a thousand-year-old cold iron, not a thousand-year-old meteorite or iron stone. Its advantage lies in the strong coldness contained in it, but its hardness is not strong. After squeezing, it becomes the size of a baby's fist.

"Father, since there are three days to get along, then you can drag it for the time being, I'll think of a solution."

"You?" Xu Hui looked suspicious.

"It's time to go, why not give it a try."

"Okay." Xu Hui sighed: "You go to the town to look for it. If you happen to meet it, don't be stingy even if you empty your family's assets." After that, he shook his head, obviously not believing in having such good luck.

Xu Yi responded, put the small piece of cold iron into his pocket and quickly left.

He originally wanted to tell his father that he had completed the transportation of the Great Zhoutian and could join the artifacts. But when he encountered such a thing, he would not have any mood.

When he arrived at the door of the store, someone came towards him, about 40 years old, and had no need to be white. When he saw Xu Yi, he smiled and said, "Yeah, isn't this a virtuous nephew?"

Xu Yi looked up and cursed in his heart, but his face was filled with smiles: "I have met Manager Gu."

"My nephew is in such a hurry, is there something important?" Gu Bin asked with a smile.

"My nephew made an appointment with several friends to drink together, so he left a little anxiously."

"Oh, I heard that Ling Zun will be promoted to the appraisal house manager soon, and his nephew will also rise in the future."

"Thank you, Manager Gu, for your praise." Xu Yi said with a smile, "If my father is promoted, he will definitely take good care of Manager Gu in the future."
