C1642 Qi Family's Challenge
Ever since he was betrayed by his men, Luo Ga no longer believed in outsiders. So until he died in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor, he was a lone wolf. As a result, even if Yang Xuan wanted to gather some people, he would not be able to do it.
In the Mercenary Group of Immortal Cultivation Dynasty, apart from Qi Qingyang and Qi Qingyue, who were there to make up the numbers, the only ones that could be counted as core members were Iron Hammer and Qii Lingfeng. Furthermore, Iron Hammer was something Yang Xuan had recruited because he was currently in a difficult situation where no one else could help him. Qii Lingfeng was one of the few people Luo Ga could call a good friend.
One! The maximum number of people in the S grade Mercenary Group could only be 1,000. This made Yang Xuan feel very troubled. Where could he find 1,000 people to fill up the entire Mercenary Group?
"Captain, why don't you go to Spirit Wind Sword Shop and ask for some information?" Yang Xuan, who was frowning, could not stand it any longer. He suggested to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan frowned and asked in confusion, "But the Spirit Wind Sword Shop has been running for 100,000 years. How could they be willing to join us? As for Elder Qi, although he can join us, it is also because of my consideration. If we let him convince the Spirit Wind Sword Shop, he will definitely not agree. "
"No, Captain, you misunderstood what I meant." Iron Hammer explained to Yang Xuan, "In order to revive Blacksmith's Guild, we naturally need more excellent blacksmiths. As for Spirit Wind Sword Shop, they have been running their family business for so many years. But they must know a lot of blacksmiths, as long as they can invite them to join the Immortal Cultivation Dynasty. Our power will definitely increase by a lot. "
"You're right, but why should they help us?" Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "We can't expect Spirit Wind Sword Shop to trick them, right?"
"How can it be called cheating?" Iron Hammer grinned and said, "As long as we spread the news, Qii Lingfeng will be in the Mercenary Group of the Immortal Cultivation Dynasty. I believe that most of the blacksmiths will not reject this opportunity to work with Elder Qi."
"En..." Iron Hammer's words caused Yang Xuan to fall into deep thought. If that was the case, the first step of Yang Xuan's development would be a rudimentary one. However, he still hesitated and said to Iron Hammer, "I have to ask for Elder Qi's opinion."
"Of course." Iron Hammer also nodded.
Yang Xuan stood up and walked outside. Although establishing the Mercenary Group was just a spur of the moment, since he had already done so, Yang Xuan decided to continue.
After finding Qii Lingfeng and telling him his thoughts, Qii Lingfeng also expressed his agreement.
He had already brought the set of tools from the cave outside the bellows, but he had been awakened by Yang Xuan's words. His current condition was much better than before.
After leaving Spirit Wind Sword Shop for ten thousand years, he had become somewhat unfamiliar with this world. Furthermore, he came from Spirit Wind Sword Shop, so he naturally had a special feeling about that place. Therefore, after Yang Xuan told him what he thought, the two of them had a tacit understanding. He decided to return to the Spirit Wind Sword Shop to take a look.
The Spirit Wind Sword Shop was located in a small town near the Divine Mountain.
The name of the small town was called Spirit Sword Town. It was a name that had existed since the Spirit Wind Sword Shop became famous in the Heaven Realm. As for its original name, it had long been forgotten by the world.
When Yang Xuan and Qii Lingfeng arrived at the Spirit Sword Town, they discovered that it was actually very remote and not very prosperous.
"Forging iron is a kind of cultivation, and it is also a kind of heart cultivation. If one was in a comfortable environment, it would become exceptionally difficult to cultivate. That's why I chose to settle down here. " Qii Lingfeng said to Yang Xuan. This was the ancestral teachings he had left for the Qii family.
Only now did Yang Xuan come to a realization.
Although the Spirit Wind Sword Shop had a great reputation in the Heaven Realm, the people of the Qii family didn't seem to be very high-profile. After asking a few residents of Spirit Sword Town, Yang Xuan found the place where Spirit Wind Sword Shop was located.
It was a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, but it was rather spacious. After all, Qii family had been developing for so many years, and the population was quite prosperous.
Dozens of iron furnaces were built in the courtyard, and in front of each furnace was a bare-chested man forging iron. A few old men with white hair and beard were walking back and forth in the courtyard with their hands behind their backs. They would occasionally look at the iron weapons in the hands of those muscular men.
In the innermost part of the yard, there were even more exquisite furnaces. Similarly, there were people standing in front of these furnaces, but Yang Xuan could tell at a glance. Compared to these strong men outside, these people's smithing skills were obviously much better.
"These people are the town's apprentices. We, the Qii family, disdain to forge inferior products. So, these matters were handed over to the younger generation of the town to handle. And among the younger generation of the Qii family, the talented disciples will be left behind. They would inherit the skills of the Qii family. As for the disciples who had no talent... Let them run their own course." Qii Lingfeng explained to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan nodded and the two of them swaggered in.
"Who is it?" One of the old men who was wandering around the courtyard saw Yang Xuan and asked, "This is the Qii family. Those who want to steal your master, get out of here."
"Stealing my master?" Although Yang Xuan was not as impatient as Luo Ga in the past, he still sneered in disdain when someone said that in front of him. "You think you can make me steal my master?"
"You!" That person choked on Yang Xuan's words and his face turned red. He pointed at Yang Xuan's nose and cursed, "Young man, you need to think before you speak. Our Qii family is the best sword shop in the Heaven Realm. Where did you come from? How dare you speak so arrogantly in front of our Qii family? "
When Qii Lingfeng heard this, he immediately frowned and became slightly angry. However, this anger wasn't directed at Yang Xuan, but at the old man standing in front of Yang Xuan.
Sensing Qii Lingfeng's anger, Yang Xuan turned his head and gave him a look. Only then did Qii Lingfeng not say anything.
"The best sword shop? I don't think so. There is indeed a Divine Craftsman in Qii family. But that's only one person. It doesn't represent the entire Qii family. With your current level, how much of Qii Lingfeng's strength do you have? " Yang Xuan had a plan in his mind. He replied disdainfully to the old man standing in front of him.
The old man's face instantly turned red like a pig's liver, and he said, "You have to pay the price for what you said. Young man, I, Qii Zilei, represent the Qii family and challenge you."
Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "It's over. I think I made a big joke."
However, after exchanging a glance with Qii Lingfeng, he nodded and said, "Alright, draw a line. I'll take it."
Their voices were especially loud, making everyone in the courtyard look over.
