Su Xin looked at Tao Qian's hateful expression and couldn't help but reveal a smile.
As long as the other party still had hatred in his heart, things would be easy.
Tao Qian said coldly: "Young Master Meng, what do you mean? Are you trying to pick at my scars by saying all this? "
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Of course not. I'm here to give Headmaster Tao a warning. If you think that the fight for the position of Merchant Mountain City's successor has nothing to do with you, then you will be in big trouble."
"What do you mean?"
Su Xin said in a low voice: "You should know that Ninth Young Master Yan Chengheng's mother is from Qianji Godly Knife Sect.
If Yan Chengheng inherits the title of Lord of Merchant Mountain City, the entire city will definitely become a vassal of Qianji Godly Knife Sect.
Back then, you were able to escape the pursuit of Qianji Godly Knife Sect and come to Merchant Mountain City. With the old city lord here, they naturally wouldn't dare to act rashly.
But if Yan Chengheng inherits the title of city lord and Qianji Godly Knife Sect completely takes over Merchant Mountain City, do you think you can still live?
You didn't forget what happened back then, I reckon the people of Qianji Godly Knife Sect won't either. Moreover, you even named your dojo Dong Lin Dojo. This is a provocation to Qianji Godly Knife Sect. After all, no one is willing to keep a person who hates them by their side.
When that time comes, do you think Qianji Godly Knife Sect will completely eliminate you to prevent future troubles? "
Cold sweat immediately dripped from Tao Qian's forehead.
For more than ten years, Merchant Mountain City had always maintained neutrality under the protection of Yan Huangjiu. Xiangnan's martial sects also didn't dare to cause trouble here, so he neglected this point.
But now that he heard Su Xin's words, he finally understood that Merchant Mountain City was indeed safe now, but in the future, it might not be so!
But Tao Qian still didn't agree. He calmed himself down and said: "Even so, I don't need to join Miss Yan's faction.
To put it bluntly, among all the successors, Miss Yan is the weakest. If I join Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master, the possibility of them seizing the position of city lord is higher than Miss Yan.
In any case, as long as Yan Chengheng doesn't become the City Lord, it doesn't matter who I rely on. Why should I rely on the weakest Miss Yan? "
Su Xin shook his head and said, "That's not true. Master Tao, you think too simply of Xiangnan's Pugilistic World.
Although there would definitely be conflicts between the various martial arts factions in Xiangnan, they would still give face to each other when it came to matters that didn't affect their interests.
Even if Yan Chengheng didn't become the city lord, as long as the Thousand Machine God Blade Sect wanted your life, they only needed to say a word. No matter which faction occupied the city, they would give the Thousand Machine God Blade Sect some face.
So, other than Yan Qingxue who didn't have the backing of any of Xiangnan's major forces, it wouldn't be safe to choose anyone else.
Of course, if you don't believe me, you can also join the Eldest Young Master or the Second Young Master. I'll turn around and leave. "
Tao Qian struggled for a long time. What Su Xin said was reasonable, so he had to believe it.
If he chose wrongly, he, Tao Qian, would have to pay with his life!
After a while, Tao Qian seemed to have understood something and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Meng, you can let me choose Miss Yan. But I really can't see what basis Miss Yan has to say that she can seize this city lord position?
Women are naturally inferior to men in terms of innate advantages. Furthermore, the forces under her are too far off from the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master. "
"Hur hur, based on what?"
Su Xin pointed to himself and said, "Based on the fact that I, Su Xin Xin, am helping her!"
Su Xin's words were powerful and resonant. This wasn't conceit, but confidence!
Tao Qian was taken aback, then he burst into laughter and said, "Good! Then I'll join under Miss Yan. "
Su Xin was taken aback by the fact that he agreed so readily.
Su Xin originally thought that he wanted to use his fists to make things clear. He didn't expect Tao Qian to agree so straightforwardly.
Seeing through Su Xin's thoughts, Tao Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Honestly speaking, I don't really believe that Miss Yan can seize the city lord position until now.
But Young Master Meng, if I don't choose Miss Yan, I don't have anyone else to choose. Moreover, even though I don't believe in Miss Yan, I believe in you.
Mortal Ranking powerhouses aren't fools. Since you're confident, then I'll take the gamble with you! "
Su Xin patted Tao Qian's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Hall Master Tao. I guarantee that you won't regret your decision today."
"Young Master Meng, then what do you plan to do next?"
Since he made up his mind to join under Yan Qingxue's command, Tao Qian also quickly got into character.
Su Xin said, "The powerhouses under Miss Yan are still a little too few. Xiantian martial artists with just you and me are still not enough. Therefore, I plan on recruiting a few more people. Next, I'm preparing to go find 'Broken Blade Hand' Nie Fang."
Tao Qian said in a deep voice, "I've talked to Nie Fang before. Almost all the weapons in my dojo are ordered from Nie Fang's smithy.
Even though his craftsmanship isn't as good as those Weapon Refinement Masters who can forge Yellow Grade weapons, all the weapons forged by him are even better than some of the refined weapons in the imperial court. "
Su Xin nodded. If that was the case, then this Nie Fang's strength in the field of weapon refinement was really not bad. He was just a step away from being called a Master.
Weapons were divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. However, there were very few weapons that could truly be ranked in the Jianghu.
Weapons that could be ranked were those that were one of a kind in the world and had their own name. Moreover, they also had all sorts of strange abilities. For example, Su Xin's Swimming Dragon Sword was a Yellow Grade weapon.
To be able to forge a yellow-grade weapon, the person who forged the weapon would have the qualifications to sign his name on it, becoming a true blacksmith master.
Even though Nie Fang wasn't a Weapon Refinement Master, his craftsmanship was almost there. All he lacked was a masterpiece that would make him famous.
"Master Tao, what's Nie Fang's temper like? Is it possible for me to recruit him? "Su Xin asked.
Tao Qian pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. Nie Fang can be said to be simple and honest, but if not, he can be said to be stubborn. He has no interest in fighting and is only interested in forging weapons.
Even if he joins the Wind Cloud Arena, he is only doing it for the large amount of money when he advances in the Wind Cloud Arena.
The origin of his nickname 'Broken Blade Hand' is even more interesting. He cultivates a martial art called Iron Smelting Hand. He uses fire attribute inner force to train his palms to be indestructible. When he has mastered it, he can even smelt gold and iron, so he is called Iron Smelting Hand.
He uses this martial art the most in the Wind Cloud Arena in order to break his opponent's weapon as quickly as possible and end the battle as soon as possible.
In the end, he even told his opponent to go to his place to forge a new weapon. He offered a 20% discount and guaranteed that the weapon wouldn't be broken so easily. "
Hearing Tao Qian's words, Su Xin immediately revealed a strange expression.
According to what he said, this Nie Fang was indeed a very interesting person. He broke his opponent's weapon and still wanted to solicit business from his own sect. Those who lost to him probably didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"In that case, let's go meet him first," Su Xin said.
"Young Master Meng, please wait a moment. I'll take care of the students in the dojo first," Tao Qian said.
He suddenly joined Yan Qingxue's team. At the very least, he couldn't take care of the Donglin Martial Arts Dojo for the time being. Of course, he had to explain to his disciples. After all, they took money to enter the dojo to learn martial arts.
After Tao Qian sent his disciples away, he led the way and arrived at the entrance of Nie Fang's weapon shop.
Nie Fang's weapon shop was very simple and crude. It couldn't even be called a weapon shop. It would be more appropriate to call it a blacksmith shop.
The shop didn't even have a name. The door was wide open, and there were seven or eight blacksmith furnaces on the left side. All kinds of ores were placed messily on the ground, and all kinds of weapons were hung on the wall on the right side.
If these weapons were replaced with various farming tools, it would be like a blacksmith's shop.
At this moment, a tall young man in his thirties was waving an iron hammer in the weapon shop, forging a sword embryo. He was bare-chested, revealing his bulging muscles. He looked very powerful.
There were only two young apprentices beside him who were blowing air and padding for him, while another apprentice was attending to customers at the side.
Although Nie Fang's blacksmith shop didn't look very good, there was an endless stream of customers, almost never stopping.
Moreover, Nie Fang's weapons weren't cheap. An ordinary fine steel longsword was worth ten thousand taels of silver, and he didn't bargain. It was as if he didn't care whether you bought it or not.
Nie Fang could be said to be the best blacksmith in this Merchant Mountain City. To a martial artist, weapons were like a second life.
The reputation of the items that Nie Fang forged was needless to say. Even if these martial artists were poor, they would still save up the money to buy weapons. In this aspect, no one would be stingy.
After standing at the entrance of the weapon shop and observing for a long time, Su Xin said in astonishment, "This Nie Fang's weapon shop's business is so good. Why doesn't he build a better shop and hire more people? Wouldn't he earn more that way? "
Tao Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Meng, you might not know this, but Nie Fang's speed of earning money isn't slow, but the speed at which he spends money is even faster.
Historically, blacksmiths and alchemists were the most costly. Alchemists were still better off, as some pills had a very low chance of failure when refined according to the pill recipe.
However, blacksmiths were different. It wasn't easy to forge a graded weapon. Every graded weapon was unique.
Even if a blacksmith master could refine one, if you asked him to refine a second weapon according to the original recipe, there would definitely be some changes between the two weapons. It couldn't be like pills, where the medicinal effects would be exactly the same as long as they were refined according to the pill recipe.
Therefore, Nie Fang used the money he earned to buy all kinds of precious ores in order to forge a real graded weapon. Unfortunately, he had not succeeded. In addition, he still needed to buy some cultivation resources on a daily basis, so he did not have much money left to build his shop.
Anyway, everyone in Merchant Mountain City knows Nie Fang's reputation, so there's no need to do so many superficial things. "
