The Nine Cauldrons

Book 2 Chapter Chapter 41 Seven Jin and Two Taels

Teng Yongfan, as the village’s weaponsmith, when he saw the legendary ‘Purple Radiant Coldsteel,’ of course he would feel excited to the point that he became hotheaded.

However, he came to his senses immediately after.

“Qingshan, come to this room with me.” Teng Yongfan grabbed the two pieces of Ten Millennia Coldsteel and rushed into a different room. He shouted to the people outside at the same time, “Lan, I have something to discuss with Teng Qingshan. You guys eat first. There’s no need to call us. We will come out and eat later.”

Teng Qingshan and his father went into the room together.

As soon as they entered the room, Teng Qingshan immediately locked the door.

“Qingshan,” Teng Yongfan stared at Teng Qingshan and said hastily, “These two pieces of Ten Millennia Coldsteel are priceless treasures! Once the news of our Teng Jia Village having the Ten Millennia Coldsteel becomes known to the White Horse Gang and the Iron Mountain Gang, our Teng Jia Village would face complete annihilation.”

Teng Qingshan also understands the principle of treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime.

TLN: (Treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime- An idiom that means to get into trouble on account of a cherished or valuable item)

“Qingshan, you can’t tell even your mother and sister about this Ten Millennia Coldsteel. Your mother would be alright, but your sister has a loose tongue. It would be bad if she accidentally disclosed the news. Our clansmen are very united, but they are still human, confronted with such a seductive treasure, it is impossible to avoid having devious ideas.” Teng Yongfan said solemnly, “The matter of this Ten Millennia Coldsteel can only be known to three people, yourself, me, and your grandfather.”

Teng Qingshan nodded. As the chief of the clan, grandfather Teng Yunlong is trustworthy.

Plus, if they wanted to use this Ten Millennia Coldsteel, they definitely could not hide it from grandfather.

“Come. I will get the scale and we can see how heavy they are.” Teng Yongfan walked to the side of the bed and reached behind the rice tank where the weighing machine was placed.

“Millennium Coldsteel. One Jin of Millennium Coldsteel is worth two taels of gold. As for this Ten Millennia Coldsteel, the price of it is at least a hundred times more than the price of the Millennium Coldsteel. One Jin of Ten Millennium Coldsteel at the least costs two hundred taels of gold, which is twenty Jin of gold.” As Teng Yongfan was speaking, he placed the smaller piece of Ten Millennia Coldsteel onto the weighing scale.

The Ten Millennia Coldsteel was weighed.

Teng Qingshan scrutinized the marks on the weighing scale. When he was at Wan Xiang Tower, the most expensive ‘Star Pattern Steel’ was only the same price as gold, but this Ten Millennia Coldsteel was twenty times more expensive than the gold.

“Seven Jin Two Taels!” Teng Yongfan exclaimed joyfully, “Just such a small piece weighs seven Jin two Taels. As expected of the Ten Millennia Coldsteel.”

“Father, if this seven Jin two taels can be sold, it might be sold with the price of almost one hundred fifty Jin of gold, which is one thousand five hundred taels of gold!” Teng Qingshan said in surprise. If this inconspicuous black rock was exchanged for gold, it actually could be exchanged for a small pile of gold. Imagining a pile of gold placed before your eyes, it would definitely be tempting.

“The way you said it, brat, even made I, your father, feel temptation. Come. let’s see how heavy the bigger one is.” Teng Yongan continued weighing the second piece.

The Second piece was weighed.

“Nine jin one Tael!” Teng Yongfan said as he suppressed the joy within his heart.

This is a huge amount of wealth!

“Qingshan, the two pieces together would weigh a total of over sixteen Jin! Ten Millennia Coldsteel has demand but no supply. If you really sell it, you might sell it at a much higher price. However, too much money doesn’t give our Teng Jia Village a lot of benefits.” Teng Yongfan suddenly smiled and looked towards Teng Qingshan and said, “Qingshan, haven’t you always wanted a weapon made to suit you?”

“Weapon?”

“Haha. With this Ten Millennia Coldsteel, I, your father, am confident that I can make a godly weapon for you!” Teng Yongfan was extremely confident as he continued speaking, “It will be the godly weapon rarely seen throughout this whole world.”
