"Master Dali, your cooking skills are beyond reproach!"
A man who was two meters tall was waving a large machete with both hands. Suddenly, he roared and chopped an iron ingot used to test the machete into two pieces with one stroke. He nodded to Chu Tian repeatedly with a smile on his face to express his gratitude.
Chu Tian, with his bare chest, wiped the sweat off his upper body, picked up a large teacup and drank a gulp of herbal tea, then waved his hand and smiled.
The big man also laughed. He carefully took out a purse and placed it on the small square table next to Chu Tian. Chu Tian opened the purse and counted the gold coins inside. There were a total of 500 gold coins. He frowned slightly and said calmly, "Too much!"
The big man hurriedly bowed to Chu Tian and said, "This is a little money for tea. I will need you to help me a lot in the future."
Chu Tian groaned, grabbed the money bag, turned around, took out a 18-inch-long dagger shaped like a flying fish wing from the weapon rack in the shop, and handed it over: "Never mind, a few coins and things are nothing. I mixed some 'green iron tendons' into this dagger, making it very flexible and sharp. Last time I saw you bringing a little girl here?"
The big man took the dagger and smiled at Chu Tian: "That's our niece. She has just started to stretch her muscles and strengthen her bones. This dagger is just right for her to play with. Master Dali, thank you!"
Chu Tian waved his hand, and the big man happily walked out carrying the machete, unconsciously stroking the handle covered with countless anti-slip dragon scale patterns along the way.
Chu Tian smiled, walked behind the counter of the shop, stuffed the gold coins in his purse into a large iron money box, slammed the door shut, and said to the several strong men who had just walked into the shop, "All kinds of weapons are on the shelves, just take your pick. If they don't suit you, or if you have any special requirements, we can make them for you by drawing a blueprint."
Several big men stood in front of the weapons rack, carefully examining the various swords, spears, and halberds that were shining with cold light, and discussed in low voices from time to time.
Outside on the street, several patrolling detectives walked over arrogantly. When they arrived in front of Chu Tian's shop, they made a circle and came to Chu Tian's door to greet him.
It has been more than half a year since I came to Baigu City.
The order for 300 sharp weapons from the City Lord's Mansion has been completed, and this yard and the blacksmith shop have completely become Chu Tian's assets. Over the past few months, the weapons forged by Chu Tian have been well received throughout Baigu City and several cities around Baigu City.
A few months ago, only the local martial artists in Baigu City came to Chu Tian to ask him to forge weapons for them. But in the past half month, martial artists from other cities have gradually traveled hundreds of miles, holding piles of gold coins to ask Chu Tian for help.
"Too many orders! Although they can all be completed, it seems too scary." Chu Tian sat on the bench with his arms and legs spread out, holding a three-foot-long steel ingot in both hands. His fingers gently flicked on the ingot, making it emit a continuous "ding-ding" sound.
These so-called magical weapons didn't even have a rune attached to them. For Chu Tian, just a thought could turn them into countless pieces of junk.
But as a 'normal' blacksmith, Chu Tian still had to pretend to swing the hammer and hit the iron ingots in the blacksmith shop every day. He himself felt that this behavior was quite stupid.
There is the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the Purple Sky Golden Sun Furnace, and the Qiqiao Heavenly Palace's weapon refining heritage... It's not like he's forging an acquired treasure of the rank of a Supreme Heavenly Weapon. Chu Tian feels like a brainless fool just swinging a hammer and making clanging sounds every day.
Several sturdy men selected three long swords and two long knives on the shelves, and also picked out two specially made pure steel spears. They respectfully carried the weapons to Chu Tian, and after asking about the price, they had no intention of bargaining. They paid the price quoted by Chu Tian and added 10% of the gold coins.
"Haha, you heroes are too polite. Well, I, Hu Dali, will not be polite. Next time if you have any needs, just tell me. I will prepare some good materials and forge some good things for you heroes." Chu Tian smiled and put away the purse.
Of course he understood what these martial artists were thinking; they were just trying to get closer to each other!
They are not real magic weapons, but just "junk stuff" forged by Chu Tian using some special alloy formula. In the hands of these martial artists, these weapons will be worn out after a few years, and even directly damaged due to various fighting.
Everyone believes that Chu Tian is an amazing master blacksmith. If they pay more for the goods and do more favors now, they can get a real "magic weapon" from him in the future. Wouldn't that make them rich?
He casually threw the purse on the counter behind him and watched the big men walk out of the shop with a smile. Chu Tian continued to be in a daze while holding the steel ingot.
The fingers flicked the steel ingot lightly, and with the crisp "ding ding" sound, a little bit of waste slag was gradually squeezed out of the steel ingot. It was shaken into dust by the high-frequency vibration of the steel ingot and slowly fell to the ground.
"The productivity of the people in Heaven is not that high!" Chu Tian touched the green silk ribbon wrapped around his waist and muttered in a low voice: "Steel ingots of this quality have so many impurities, how dare you say it is fine steel?"
Shaking his head, Chu Tian threw the steel ingot, from which all impurities had been completely refined, into the pile of materials in the corner of the shop. He stood up, clasped his hands across his chest, stood at the door of the shop, and watched the people coming and going on the street.
His breathing was very strong and powerful. With each breath, the dust under his feet flew up, and the signboards of the neighbors on both sides moved without wind.
A little faint light flickered on the white glazed lamp. Under the illumination of the dim green light, new runes gradually appeared on the outside of the most basic heavenly seals on the lamp.
The most basic five elements of wind, fire, water, earth, etc., as well as some heavenly seals derived from the five elements, have gradually become more complex and more exquisite.
The mysteries of the laws of heaven are quietly being integrated into these heavenly seals.
The aura on Chu Tian's body has gradually merged with that of the heavens. A sense of harmony between man and nature is transforming him from a drop of ink to a drop of milk.
If Chu Tian did not use those supreme heavenly artifacts with astonishing aura, even if he took off the green silk belt around his waist at this moment, those heavenly soldiers and generals would not be able to detect his aura so quickly.
Chu Tian’s first step of integrating into the Heavenly Palace has been preliminarily completed.
Next, he would use slow and steady techniques to blend the auras of several supreme heavenly artifacts with the Heavenly Palace bit by bit.
This will take a long time.
During this period of time, Chu Tian really didn't want to carry a big hammer to forge iron every day.
Looking back at the north intersection of South Street, Chu Tian scratched his head in distress - maybe he really chose the wrong business, he shouldn't pretend to be a blacksmith, maybe, he should open a third brothel in Baigu City?
As a brothel owner, all you have to do is eat and drink and live a carefree life every day. Why would you have so many worries?
