Chapter 91.

“Get out, get out, get as far away as you can!”

Zhao Blacksmith’s voice came from the room, carrying a wave of anger and helplessness.

Zhou An heard it clearly and was slightly surprised.

On weekdays, Blacksmith Zhao was a naive person who would never lose his temper so much, what was wrong with him today?

Looking at the meaning of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, it seems that they are here to look for Blacksmith Zhao, is it possible that the two of them are quarreling and contradicting each other inside?

Just thought so, Zhou An knew that he thought wrong, this is not a conflict, this is purely Zhao Blacksmith losing his temper.

Because at this time, another man’s voice resounded in the room.

“Master Zhao, I came here with sincerity, can you stop this, if you don’t give me a face, you must also give the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce a face.”

This man’s voice carried a hint of helplessness and supplication, as if he was a level below Blacksmith Zhao.

It even brought up the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

It wasn’t a threat, and it was just a way to get Blacksmith Zhao to give a face.

Soon after, Blacksmith Zhao continued to roar, “What face, not to mention the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, even if it’s two Hengtong Chambers of Commerce, I’m not going to give face if I don’t give face, what can you do to me?”

“Master Zhao, you can’t be like this, I just came over to pay a visit.” The person from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce spoke again.

At this time, a sound of smashing came from the house.

A moment later.

The door to the room of the blacksmith store was opened and a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out.

The middle-aged man was wearing satin, making his stomach look even bigger, and on that fat face, there was a hint of shrewdness unique to merchants.

Of course, there wasn’t much shrewdness left at this moment, because there was an extra black fist mark on the right eye socket.

“This was beaten by Old Zhao.” Seeing this scene, Zhou An’s heart was clear.

Even though he was beaten, this middle-aged man still did not look angry, and after coming out, he straightened the silk on his body and turned around to arch his hand towards the blacksmith store.

“Excuse me, Master Zhao, when you which the weather subsides, I will pay a visit again.”

The blacksmith store did not respond.

The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, turned around and prepared to leave, and as he turned around, he just happened to see Zhou An.

In the next moment, the middle-aged man had a professional fake smile on his face.

“What is this little brother’s name, and what is he doing here at the blacksmith store?”

Not to mention, although this smile was fake, hanging this smile in the opening, it could really give people a pretty good impression.

But Zhou An did not eat this.

“When asking others their names, shouldn’t Your Excellency say your own name?” Zhou An said indifferently.

The middle-aged man revealed a look of dawning realization, patting his fat head, before arching his hand and saying, “I am Qi Shuo, a merchant of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, this time I came to Anding County to open a Chamber of Commerce, please take care of me in the future if there’s anything you can do.”

For the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to be able to open such a large business in the Great Chu Kingdom, even a small merchant under their hand was not a vegetarian.

At least they knew how to receive people.

Qi Shuo was very smart, he came over to visit Blacksmith Zhao this time and happened to meet this man in front of him.

Obviously, this man in front of him and Blacksmith Zhao definitely had a relationship.

If he could be involved with Blacksmith Zhao, his status would definitely not be small.

These days, being polite to people was better than anything else.

Qi Shuo had read a story before.

The story was about a protagonist and how he grew up.

In that story, some businessmen were often treated as little villains.

The dog’s eye view of people, what sneakiness, all sorts of adjectives came up.

He was tempted to say that all of this writing was bullshit.

These days, harmony makes money.

Who had nothing better to do than to go looking for others to offend every day?

Therefore, Qi Shuo and his guards were kind to everyone.

Seeing that the other party had introduced themselves, Zhou An also arched his hand and said, “Zhou An, a nobody.”

Hearing this reply, Qi Shuo was disbelieving.

But he also knew that some people these days didn’t quite like to reveal their identity.

If you were to go ahead and mention it, then you would have touched the other party’s eyebrows.

“So it’s Brother Zhou, I’ll stay in Anding County for the rest of my life, come to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce for a cup of tea when you have time, I still have some things to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Qi Shuo was well aware of the importance of socializing, as well as the skills of socializing.

When meeting for the first time, it was not advisable to go too deep.

This would in turn leave a bad impression.

Soon, Qi Shuo left with his guards.

The blacksmith store returned to its usual coldness.

Zhou An lifted his foot and stepped inside.

As soon as he entered, he did not see the fellow at the door.

All that could be seen was Blacksmith Zhao sitting alone inside, sullen with anger.

“Where’s the fellow?” Zhou An found himself a seat and poured himself a cup of tea.

“I told him to go back first.” When Blacksmith Zhao saw that it was Zhou An, the anger on his face disappeared quite a bit.

Zhou An took a sip of water, “Old Zhao, you’re usually quite a naive person, but today you even moved your hands, what happened?”

He was just asking, if Old Zhao was willing to say, he would listen, if he wasn’t willing to say, then forget it.

He himself was here for liver proficiency anyway, and was not willing to meddle in other idle matters, especially other people’s family matters.

When Blacksmith Zhao heard this, he slammed the table with force, “This junior of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, simply infuriates me, having to make it so blatant.”

Zhou An put down his teacup and laughed, “So you’re also an old-timer, come on, I’ve come to talk to you today, I’m not working as a constable anymore.”

Blacksmith Zhao glanced at Zhou An, “It’s good to quit, this new magistrate just took office and made all these things, if you quit, there will be less trouble.”

“Then I won’t be able to cover you.” Zhou An spread his hands and said, “Look at me this later come over to make iron ……”

Blacksmith Zhao meaningfully said, “Let’s not say anything in the dark, you have the talent to eat this bowl of rice, why bother to be that little constable?”

“I have also seen these days, your talent is very strong, if you specialize in immersing yourself in blacksmithing, not to mention other things, in my lineage of Spirit Blacksmiths, you can definitely be called an expert.”

Zhou An took another sip of water, “Spirit Blacksmith?”

He had never heard of this lineage.

There were too many trades in the Miscellaneous Sect, even if an old geezer was called in, he might not understand them all.

Blacksmith Zhao nodded his head and said, “With spirit as the basis, the caster is unrivaled, the so-called Spirit Blacksmith is to give spirit to the vessel, such as this.”

While speaking, Blacksmith Zhao took out an ordinary iron needle.

In the next moment, the iron needle floated up.

With a casual lead, Blacksmith Zhao pierced a hole through the ground.

“Hiss ……”

Zhou An sucked in a breath of cool air.

He hadn’t seen that Blacksmith Zhao had this skill.

This needle came without a shadow and went without a trace, and it was extremely fast, if it was to shade someone in a corner ……

Zhou An had already thought of the bloody hole on the chest of the person being shaded.

This was not a hidden weapon, it was more like Zhao Blacksmith guiding the general.

Blacksmith Zhao lifted his fingers and the iron needles on the ground flew up, circling continuously on his palm.

“This is only one branch of the Casting Dao, there is another branch that is my master’s uncle’s branch, but I don’t recommend you to learn it.”

Zhou An strangely said, “Why should I go learn it?”

Blacksmith Zhao pointed to the money pouch around Zhou An’s waist, “This is what my Senior Uncle made, that branch of theirs is called Original Blacksmithing, and it utilizes the ability of the casting itself, let’s say the money pouch, it’s just for holding things, and there’s a lot of space inside.”

Zhou An looked down at his waist.

The pink money pouch was particularly eye-catching.

The stuff was a gift from that silly girl Ye Frost.

At that time, Ye Frost had said that it was still his teacher who went to find someone to build it.

Painting the focus, built it.

The person who could make the current State Master go looking for it was definitely an expert, and he was even the elder of Blacksmith Zhao’s teacher?

“Wait! This is a money bag, it’s cloth.” Zhou An said.

“You haven’t learned too much about the method of casting yet, you’ll know if you take a closer look.” Blacksmith Zhao said.

Zhou An picked up the money bag and looked at it carefully, only to realize that it really wasn’t cloth.

It was an unknown metal woven together, each one as thick as a hairline.

“So. Old Zhao you come from a great source.” Zhou An hung the money bag back on his waist.

Blacksmith Zhao laughed and said, “My family’s teacher has always been pushed down by Shifu, this world knows that my Shifu’s casting is unrivaled, and they all know that my teacher is one chip weaker in the Great Chu Kingdom.”

Weak, and only one chip weaker.

To that level, it was also very strong, otherwise where would the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce’s come over personally?

“Then with this background, why are you still staying in Anding County?” Zhou An said strangely.

If he had this kind of background, he wouldn’t need to be in Anding County.

“I bottlenecked.” When Tiefling Zhao mentioned this, his tone became low.

“Teacher said that one returns from where one came from.”

“It started out as a farm tool for people, so I found a place where no one knew me and followed teacher’s method to break through.”

“There are still some real feelings, but it’s too early.”

Zhou An sort of understood, together with this guy was to break through the bottleneck, that’s why he stayed in Anding County all this time.

“You guys are considered masters of techniques, right?” Zhou An asked.

Blacksmith Zhao nodded, “Sort of, how are you considering it?”

“How’s what considering?” Zhou An said strangely.

His question was inexplicable.

Was one considering anything?

One hadn’t considered anything.

Blacksmith Zhao said, “Why don’t you give up your path as a martial artist, worship me as your teacher, and learn to make iron with me.”

Zhou An: “……”

Seriously, he really didn’t expect this to come.

“Old Zhao, I have no intention of doing so.” Zhou An waved his hand.

It’s impossible to worship a master, not in this lifetime.

I’m just a liver proficiency, why do I have to play this fancy?

“I know you’re high-minded and want to camp on your own, but you can’t camp at all if you don’t give up your original martial arts.” Blacksmith Zhao advised.

To be honest, when Zhou An first approached himself about making iron for the first time, he was slightly interested, so he logically agreed.

He thought that it was just a passing fervor, but he didn’t expect Zhou An to come every day.

This persistence alone made Blacksmith Zhao a little surprised.

Of course, if it was just persistence, it wouldn’t be enough to make Blacksmith Zhao look the other way.

The key thing was, this horrible talent ah!

From learning until now, not much time had passed, and he was actually able to build all sorts of weapons.

More importantly, Blacksmith Zhao realized that the building of this weapon actually had Zhou An’s own ideas.

The things that were built were much harder than the ordinary ones.

Blacksmith Zhao also tried to learn it and realized that he couldn’t learn it, which meant that it was Zhou An’s own idea.

Thus, Blacksmith Zhao’s interest grew.

Today happened to be the right time, and Blacksmith Zhao brought it up.

Zhou An had a headache.

He really wasn’t being high-minded or wanting to delve into it on his own, he just wanted to liver proficiency.

He was a Liver Emperor, what was wrong with Liver Proficiency?

But this word, right, couldn’t be said yet.

“Old Zhao, your good intentions, I appreciate it, we’ve known each other for so long, you’re also very clear about my person, if I really don’t want to, ten oxen won’t be able to pull me back.” Zhou An could only say this.

Blacksmith Zhao sighed, “Zhou An, do you know that, in this line of work under the sky, a person who learns one kind is already enough for a lifetime, if he learns two kinds, his energy will be diverted, and then he will put in double the effort, if he learns three kinds, then the person will be mediocre.”

The four major categories in the world divide into countless lines of work.

Some people have also thought about learning more on their own.

After learning, they were also able to have more means, but in the end, the results were poor.

Energy was limited.

Learning more would instead be mediocre.

Of course, Zhou An also knew this, but this was different for him.

He only needed proficiency.

Thinking about this, Zhou An still expressed his reluctance.

Blacksmith Zhao knew in his heart that a strongly twisted melon would not be sweet, so he could only sigh.

“You continue to make iron at the blacksmith store, if needed, I can oblige you at any time.”

He had no choice but to hope that Zhou An knew to turn back after hitting the wall.

Zhou An didn’t want to pull on this topic.

He changed the topic.

“Old Zhao, what are the people from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce doing here looking for you?” Zhou An asked.

In fact, he was also curious as to what a Chamber of Commerce’s came to find the blacksmith for.

Blacksmith Zhao poured himself a cup of water and refilled Zhou An’s cup, and after taking a sip, his face was full of disdain.

“What else can I do, want to do the business of getting rich, they want me to come out and help them get rich.”

“You really don’t say, the money given is quite a lot, if it wasn’t for the fact that I’ve been living in seclusion here for a long time, I would really have to be moved.”

These days, although money is not everything, but leaving it, it is nothing.

“Building weapons?” Zhou An asked.

“All kinds.” Blacksmith Zhao said, “This Chamber of Commerce undertakes a lot of local weapons business, as well as agricultural tools business from all over the world, and some miscellaneous ones, I guess, and most importantly, some sects also need extremely good weapons.”

“They came to me to specialize in building them for some sect forces, charging quite a high price.”

Zhou An strangely said, “Didn’t you do this before? By agreeing to it, you can still make a decent amount of money.”

Blacksmith Zhao shook his head and said, “I used to earn too much, now I just want to live for myself.”

Good lord, listen to this Versailles.

Zhou An thought it was quite normal, after all, Blacksmith Zhao was indeed an expert in this area.

“Zhou An, that fatty is a shrewd person, be careful, don’t be fooled by him.” Blacksmith Zhao advised.

Zhou An stood up and stated that he understood.

Now that what needed to be said had been said, he didn’t ink, went to the inner room, and began to liver up his proficiency.
