Chapter 0006: Competing on Price

As he spoke, Zhang Shengde's mind stirred, and his palm gently lifted, causing a flying sword to materialize from the void

Zhang Hao listened intently, his keen senses as a cultivator allowing him to discern Qian Shaoxian's voice amidst the cacophony of sounds

"Young Master, it is time to get up. We are going to the county town today, and we will set off after breakfast." The voice of the servant was loud, even somewhat audacious

Zhang Shengde introduced: "Ninghe County City spans ten miles, and the city lord Liu Jingming is a master at the peak of the Golden Core stage. It is said that he has once fought alone and defeated an opponent at the early stage of the Nascent Soul."

Having spoken, Zhang Shengde gazed at the rolling sea in the distance, his eyes still filled with lingering doubt

Zhang Shengde, accompanied by Zhang Hao, took a stroll around the market before heading straight to the main topic—a trading platform for spiritual materials, one of the liveliest spots in the market

In appreciation of everyone's support, we are offering a price reduction today

Zhang Hao laughed and shouted loudly: "Brother!"

The cart jolted as the scenery on both sides rapidly receded; Zhang Hao estimated that they were traveling at least 60 kilometers per hour, all while pulling a crude cart laden with heavy cargo. As the cart passed, deep ruts were left in the ground.

After more than an hour of bumpy travel, it was estimated to be around 9 o'clock in the morning when we arrived at Ninghe County; Zhang Hao estimated that the total distance was approximately 120 to 130 kilometers.

After a moment with the *illustrated* book, Zhang Han opened his eyes, smiling even more brightly: "I apologize, I accidentally broke through to the late stage of foundation establishment."

The horses pulling the cart are all magnificent steeds with the bloodline of mythical beasts, their bodies muscular and sculpted, galloping while dragging a cart laden with mysterious iron

20,000 jin of black iron, sold at a 10% discount

Zhang Shengde gazed at the sea and the monstrous beasts rolling within it, and leisurely shifted the topic: "The Eastern countries have monopolized the trade routes, and the Kingdom of Qixia is entirely in a passive position. If this continues, the danger of national extinction is imminent"

Zhang Han was examining the arrow in his hand. This was a newly crafted arrow, glinting with a cold light

Everyone shout out: Zhangjia Xuantie, at a 20% discount

How is your cultivation progressing

The Xuan Tie smelting technology of the Qian family has made a breakthrough, achieving a qualitative improvement in both output and quality

Zhang Hao: ... ... Then be more careful in the future ~ ~ ~

Zhang Han was still knocking on the door; Zhang Hao sighed, shook his head a few times, and then finally got out of bed.

Upon opening the door, Zhang Hao was met with a towering figure. Appearing to be in his twenties, he bore a resolute expression; at his waist hung a pair of imposing double-handed sabers.

On the other side, Zhang Shengye looked at the two individuals, a gentle smile appearing on his face

... ...

Under the tall city gate, people come and go, with thousands queuing to enter the city

... ...

In the early stage of the Golden Elixir, Zhang Shengye's face blossomed with a smile once again, as his palm extended, a small flying sword danced in his palm like a playful fish

Zhang Hao grunted irritably a few times, grabbed the blanket, covered his head, and lay down to continue sleeping

Zhang Shengde slowly nodded, "I hope I am overthinking this."

Zhang Han's embarrassment gradually faded, a smile slowly emerged, and finally, he was beaming with joy

Qian Jiaming set out early

The sea continued to surge, while Zhang Shengde and Zhang Shengye silently exchanged glances on the rock where Zhang Hao had previously stayed.

Brother, you are overthinking it. It is only natural for there to be significant changes. Moreover, what Xiao Hao thinks and feels is also for the family, without any concealment. I believe he must have become smarter and more enlightened.

20,000 jin, all at a 10% discount

The sun has just risen, and the red clouds fill the sky. The Zhang family's procession, bathed in the glow of the dawn, is heading towards the county town of Ninghe.

To make a long story short, let me get straight to the point

The area is filled with shops selling magical treasures, magical tools, spiritual materials, spiritual medicines, and elixirs. There are services for the repair of magical treasures, formation services, and the design and construction of residences and caves. Additionally, there are offerings for the cultivation of spiritual medicines, the breeding and sale of spiritual beasts, as well as provisions for clothing fabrics for cultivators, food, various ingredients, and spiritual rice, among others, everything one could possibly need is available

After a long time, Zhang Shengde spoke up: "Have you noticed that Xiao Hao has changed quite a bit?"

Zhang Han, the older brother of Zhang Hao. However, this brother refers to Zhang Hao as "Young Master" because he is not a biological brother.

Zhang Shengde smiled and turned to Zhang Shengye, saying: "Let's go to the county town tomorrow"

The place is bustling with voices, and as far as the eye can see, it is almost entirely filled with cultivators.

Zhang Shengye shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "Brother, if you ask me, after experiencing a soul curse and self-awakening, it would be strange if nothing changed."

Zhang Han smiled and said: "This arrow is sufficient to kill a prepared Foundation Establishment stage practitioner! If used properly, it can even inflict damage on those in the Core Formation stage. Young master ... ... "

Zhang Shengde's lips curled into a cold smile: "Very well, since the Qian family has taken the lead in lowering prices, we can lower our prices without offending anyone."

Zhang Shengye also put away his smile, and his expression gradually became serious: "Under the fallen nest, there are no intact eggs"

Everyone, please line up for the draw. Sales will commence at 10:00 AM.

Zhang Hao immediately thought of someone upon hearing this voice: Zhang Han

It seemed as if a shackle had been broken; the aura surrounding Zhang Han began to surge, and the heavy atmosphere made it difficult for Zhang Hao to even breathe

Zhang Hao rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother, how many times have I told you not to call me 'young master'"

This time, Zhang's family has prepared a total of 40 tons of 70% pure iron and 35 tons of 80% pure iron

Zhang Shengde caught the flying sword, and the thumb of his right hand gently pressed on the sword. Immediately, a line of text appeared on the flying sword

Occasionally, one can still see the establishments of escort agencies or mercenaries

Zhang Han was originally the only son of a family guard. After the guard died in battle, he was raised by Zhang Shengde and took Zhang Shengde as his godfather. His cultivation talent far surpassed that of Zhang Hao by several streets. Now, at just over twenty years old, Zhang Han has reached the mid-stage of foundation establishment and is responsible for one-third of the family's armed forces

The city of Ninghe County is magnificent, with its thick black stone walls rising over 30 zhang, shimmering with the brilliance of array formations, reflecting a glimmering light; the walls stretch endlessly on both sides, connecting with the surrounding mountains

Knock knock knock ... ... The door was knocked on loudly.

Having paid an entrance tax of 10 low-grade spirit stones, the convoy headed straight for the cultivation market in Ninghe County

"Alright, young master," Zhang Han said as he turned around. "Hurry up and pack your things; Father and Second Uncle are already busy. The Qian family set off a long time ago."

As for storage equipment, it is too expensive, too rare, and the space is very limited

Very well. Continue to disguise as a peak Foundation Establishment stage. This time, the Qian family must pay the price

Each person may purchase a maximum of five pounds, limited to today only

Zhang Hao's heart was filled with murmurs: Is this horse too powerful? If the cars produced in the future are still inferior to horse-drawn carriages, will it become a negative example?

How twisted must you be

The surrounding crowd surged, the price of Xuan Tie was almost transparent, with little room for price reduction, and a 10% discount was indeed enticing

However, Zhang Han is very honest, to the point that it makes Zhang Hao a bit awkward: Zhang Hao addresses Zhang Han as 'brother', while Zhang Han calls Zhang Hao 'young master'

From a distance, Zhang Shengde pointed at the most radiant person on the high platform and said: "Xiao Hao, the one who is shouting is the head of the Qian family, Qian Shaoxian. Next to him is his son, Qian Mingjue"

"Brother, is it really that difficult to call me 'little brother'?" Zhang Hao stared directly at Zhang Han, leaving him no room to evade.

Xiao Hao's ability to awaken himself from the soul curse signifies a turning point for our family

Two pairs of eyes met. After a long while, Zhang Han opened his mouth and slowly uttered two words: "Little ... brother ..."

What happened to the cultivator? They are still sleeping in late

Zhang Hao : ... ...

A wave of heroic grandeur rushes forth
