My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

298 Treasure Forging Technique
However, none of them were heading to Tong Treasure Shop. Instead, they entered the shop across the street with the sign of Treasure Mountain Hall.

There were only a few people in front of Tong Treasure Shop. Qingzhou City was indeed a prosperous place, the center of Qingzhou.

“Father! I’m back!” the young man shouted in an imposing manner. Then, he brought Qin Huai into a side room.

The moment Qin Huai stepped through the door, he was greeted by a wave of heat. A six-legged cauldron that was as tall as three people was emitting flames. It weighed at least a thousand pounds.

The tall man sitting in front of the furnace, his muscular body slightly black, was holding a hammer weighing hundreds of pounds. When he raised his head to look at them, his eyes immediately emitted a murderous aura.

However, it wasn’t directed at Qin Huai, instead, it was directed at the youth who was beaming with joy.

“You brat, you tricked someone again?”

Thud!

The young man knelt on the ground without saying a word. He even considerately cleared a path for Qin Huai to reach the man’s side.

“Honored guest, my son is naughty and has caused you trouble.”

The man then glanced at Silver Fox, which was on Qin Huai’s back. “Your spear is not bad. You’ve displayed seventy percent of its sharpness. Using dragon tendon wood as a spear shaft was a wonderful move, so it cannot be considered as burying this power stone.” The man only glanced at Qin Huai’s Silver Fox from a few meters away, and he could see most of it.

“Master has good eyesight.” Qin Huai clicked his tongue. Although his smithing skills had reached the level of a treasured weapon master, the level he had gained from his experience was ultimately not as spiritual as these masters who had been proficient in this field for many years.

He cupped his fists and said, “To tell you the truth, I’ve admired the art of forging for a long time. Now that I’ve encountered the matter of the great demon, Qingzhou City has been sealed. I wonder if Master can allow me to observe the Dao of forging in your shop for a few days?”

The man laughed. “The Tong family’s treasure forging technique is not taught to outsiders. I’m sorry.”

“In that case, I’ll take my leave first.” Qin Huai felt regretful as he looked at Tong Treasure Shop. However, there weren’t many furnaces for forging iron. It only had seven or eight furnaces.

This technique was probably only passed on to his own family. No wonder this man looked so skilled, but there were only a few customers. It was not as good as the one across the street.

“In that case, please wait for a moment,” the man said as he stood up. “I have something to say to my son.”

Just as Qin Huai was about to leave the room, the door of the treasure shop was kicked open. A dozen fierce-looking muscular men with one hand behind their backs barged in.

“Those who don’t want to cause trouble, get out!” the leader, a scar-faced man, shouted fiercely.

The few customers who were initially scattered around immediately narrowed their eyes upon seeing the newcomer. They quickly grabbed their belongings and dashed out of the store.

The scar-faced man smugly surveyed the now-empty Tong Treasure Shop. “Old Master Tong, have you given it any thought today? Join my Broken Axe Gang and hand over your family’s cultivation technique. In return, our Broken Axe Gang will protect your business!”

“Dream on!” A stooped figure emerged from a back room, seething with anger. “Even if you kill me, I will never hand over the Tong family’s forging technique!” Tong Xianhui roared.

The young man standing beside Qin Huai trembled in fear, but his eyes burned with hatred. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he stared at the scar-faced man.
The boy’s father frowned but remained silent.

The scar-faced man didn’t seem to mind. He flashed a mischievous smile and said, “Old Master Tong, what are you talking about? Why would our Broken Axe Gang commit murder? We’re just making a suggestion. Since you’re unwilling, we’ll come back tomorrow.”

The scar-faced man deliberately drew out his last sentence. After speaking, he glanced at Qin Huai before quickly departing.

Tong Shou sighed. “You should leave quickly before you get caught up in trouble.” He waved at Qin Huai.

“Is the Broken Axe Gang really that strong?” Qin Huai inquired. Based on the cultivation technique he had learned from the Broken Axe Gang, their skills were far from first-class. They couldn’t be compared to the nine dragons true qi technique at all. The experts among them were likely not very strong.

Logically, the Tong family should have accumulated a wealth of connections as a treasured weapon family.

Tong Shou waved his hand, unwilling to elaborate. “Maosheng, escort our guest out!”

The young man, who had been kneeling on the ground, immediately stood up and gestured for Qin Huai to follow him.

As Qin Huai followed the youngster towards the exit, the latter suddenly warned, “You’re new here. Don’t provoke these gangs in the outer city. Although the sects that survive in the outer city aren’t as strong as the major sects in Qingzhou City, they’re still quite powerful.

“Even the smallest sect has several bone pattern realm experts. As for the larger gangs, there are even visceral prefecture realm experts among them! Even the major sects in Qingzhou City treat them kindly.”

“What is the Broken Axe Gang’s status?” Qin Huai asked, standing a short distance behind the young man in the courtyard.

“The Broken Axe Gang can only be considered a small-to-medium-sized gang. The gang leader, Xiong Fu, is a martial arts prodigy at the fourth-level bone pattern realm. However, most of his subordinates are at blood refinement realm, and there are only three bone pattern realm experts. That scar-faced man was one of them,” the young man explained, sighing.

He added, “If that were all, it wouldn’t be a problem. But the gang leader, Xiong Fu, has acknowledged the Blood Poison Gang’s leader – one of the four major gangs in the outer city – as his godfather.”
