Chapter 0009: Counterattack from the Abyss

Liu Xian from Yunying Trading Company coolly stated: "Yunying Trading Company, 800 tons per month"

Damn it! Qian Shaoxian was filled with rage, "Zhang family, we shall see!"

Subsequently, many people's attention focused on Zhang Hao, their gratitude evident in their expressions

Everyone was lively, but Zhang Shengde called out to Zhang Hao with a cold face: "What you just did was acceptable. However, is it... not quite appropriate to disclose the technology publicly?"

After the tea time, Qian Shaoxian could only stand outside the crowd, looking angrily at Zhang Hao

In fact, Zhang Hao really wants to maintain a low profile and develop quietly. However, it is not possible; the situation does not allow it, as the Qian family has already ridden on his neck, so Zhang Hao can only fight back

The Qian family members are still lingering at the trading platform, insisting on their promotions; however, the crowd is indifferent to this and has already begun to drive them away

Many cultivators who watched the scene of the Xuan Tie forging for the first time were captivated and shocked by this vivid portrayal of strength and fire. Some even experienced a moment of enlightenment, with their cultivation and realm quietly ascending

Zhang Hao nodded and led the way towards the trading desk

When a group of people arrived at the trading desk, they found it to be more lively.

Jiu Yang Sect's Ji Buzheng became anxious: "We can consume 600 tons!"

"Hmph..." Mu Mingchen scoffed, "I say, Old Zheng, are you really not afraid of indigestion? With your Zheng family, you must be stuffing yourselves with at least 100 tons every month, right?"

Zhang Shengde's cheerful voice rang out: "Xiao Hao, you have no sense of hinting at all, why don't you send your Uncle Qian off?"

Zhang Hao then walked step by step onto the trading platform along the path opened by the crowd

Zhang Hao's expression became serious: "Form groups of three, prepare."

Nearby, the guards of the county town are yawning

Watching the splashing sparks and listening to the amazed crowd around him, Qian Shaoxian had a vague feeling: the rising and falling hammer of the blacksmith seemed to strike at his own heart; with each blow, his heart trembled.

Zhang Hao's first public appearance attracted widespread attention

The craftsmen have removed their upper garments, their sinewy muscles rippling, and their dark skin glistening with the radiance of sweat and flames, presenting a gradual unfolding of a tableau of strength and fire

Additionally, prepare some spiritual springs

Zheng Changqiu's expression darkened instantly after hearing Zhang Hao's words: "You little rascal, you haven't learned anything from the benefits. Look at this guy who is as thin as a bamboo pole; he is the real big eater, no matter how much he eats, he never feels full"

"Is it too tight?" Mei Qianyun's柳眉 stood upright.

Control the quantity of the spiritual spring; it should not be too much, as that would lower the temperature of the iron. Nor should it be too little, as insufficient quantity would not yield adequate results

Zhang Hao felt a secret joy as he quietly and tentatively took his first step into this world, successfully leaving a mark that belonged to him.

Are you ... ... serious? Ji is somewhat skeptical, and even a bit annoyed.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly became lively

No problem, use our home!

The craftsmen busily engaged in their work. In the absence of ground fire, they substituted it with flame formations and spirit stones. Although somewhat extravagant, who cares

"Uncle Qian, take care on your way out," Zhang Hao said as he chased to the door, waving goodbye enthusiastically; as a result, Qian Shaoxian's steps quickened.

The trading platform is not high, merely three feet. Yet at this moment, Zhang Hao stands here, looking down upon all living beings for the first time

Only the members of the Qian family looked at Zhang Hao with eyes full of murderous intent

Two thousand tons! Zhang Hao reiterated this figure once again

Status? How to say?

Time passed quickly; while Zheng Changqiu, Mei Qianyun, and others were still arguing, Zhang Shengde interrupted everyone and invited them to proceed together to the trading platform

Father, in the face of the entire market, our family's strength is ultimately weak. What if we could unite with a large number of our peers

The prosperous era of cultivation is upheld by these ordinary craftsmen on their shoulders

Previously, the Qian family resorted to unscrupulous means to obtain the forging techniques of the Zhang family, which were not very detailed at the time; now, Zhang Hao has surprisingly made the Zhang family's forging techniques completely public and even demonstrated them on site

Mei Qianyun said coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the total amount is currently only 2,000 tons. Should everyone reconsider?"

Damn business secrets

With each strike of the hammer, the sweat and wisdom of the craftsman are imprinted.

"Little sly one!" Zheng Changqiu glared at Zhang Hao and said, "My Zheng family can consume a maximum of... 500 tons each month!"

Zhang Hao remained silent, simply watching quietly, his expression somewhat serious, with an implicit air of authority.

Father, we should make the water forging technique public. In doing so, not only will it render the Qian family's plans futile, but it will also establish our status.

The future of the Qian family seems to be gradually shattering under the hammer

The atmosphere immediately became lively, and within a short time, everyone had accepted the new unit of measurement: ton

Note, do not allow the iron block to cool; the forging process must not be interrupted

The temperature of this flame is too low; it needs to be higher. The iron block should be glowing red-hot.

Using pine branches, or reeds, or other grasses to sprinkle water will yield a more even distribution

Since we cannot be low-key, then let us... go wild

Three people take turns, alternating between work and rest

Zhang Jialai's haste has resulted in a lack of preparation for craftsmen, crude iron, forging tools, and so forth, which will require everyone's assistance

Alright, maintain the state until there are no sparks flying.

"Unite together?" Zhang Shengde's eyes gradually brightened, "We can give it a try!"

Upon seeing Zhang Hao and others arrive, everyone was filled with enthusiasm, and dozens of people rushed to the trading platform, throwing the members of the Qian family and all the items down from the platform

Zhang Hao looked at the suddenly appearing security soldiers, frowning slightly: "Father, these guards..."

After Deng Qian Shao Xian left, Ji Bu Tong, the manager of the Jiu Yang Sect, spoke up with a very serious tone: "Zhang Hao, how much Xuan Tie can you produce each month? Just the current quality."

Zhu Yuantang from Ninghe County finally spoke up, his tone resolute: "700 tons!"

Everyone was very enthusiastic, and soon more than ten craftsmen and five sets of forging tools appeared at the trading platform

Under Zhang Hao's gaze, the noisy voices of the crowd gradually faded away

On the Xuantie trading platform, the sound of forging resonates continuously; everyone watches with rapt attention. ... Watching the flames blaze, watching the steam roll, watching the sparks fly ...

During the forging process, the density of sparks represents the efficiency of impurity removal

The crude iron quickly turned red as the first handful of spring water was poured onto the blazing iron block, accompanied by the descent of the heavy hammer and the sparks flying like flames, leaving everyone in awe.

As long as no one is killed, it is acceptable. If fighting causes damage, compensation should be actively provided afterwards

Mu Mingchen's mouth twitched; however, when he turned to look at the gritting teeth of Qian Shaoxian beside him, he snorted and said: "Friend Qian, we are discussing business secrets, could you please excuse yourself?"

Zheng Changqiu thought for a moment: "Then let's go with 480 tons"

... ...

Use our

Zhang Hao said seriously: "Manager Ji, I would not joke about such an important matter. It is expected that in one month, our production will reach 2,000 tons"

Zhang Hao, standing at the trading desk, slowly scanned his surroundings, and when his gaze passed over Qian Shaoxian, he did not pause at all

Zhang Hao was contemplating: Currently, we can produce thirty to forty tons each day; once all the furnaces are renovated, producing sixty to seventy tons daily will be quite easy. In fact, Zhang Hao had wanted to mention ten thousand tons earlier, but he was afraid it would frighten the other party

Whether it is the magical tools used by Qi Refinement stage cultivators or the spiritual instruments employed by Nascent Soul ancestors, the materials required for both generally need to be subjected to intense fire and undergo countless hammering and forging

Qian Shaoxian's complexion had turned a dark shade of iron; at this moment, he forced out a withered smile and walked out the door with his head down
