The Nine Cauldrons

Book 2 Chapter 44 The spear is done!

Before leaving for Great Yan Mountain, Teng Qingshan had purchased a set of clothes to replace his cotton gown and hid his saber in a cloth bag while still in the city. This was just like his usual attire and he walked towards his village with the bag on his shoulder.

“Qingshan came back!” The gatekeepers of Teng Jia Village greeted him with a smile and Teng Qingshan replied with a warm greeting. After only leaving the village for one day, there were no changes in Teng Jia Village. With more than 2000 people inside this village, who would pay attention to where Teng Qingshan was going or staying?

After all, even inside Teng Jia Village, Teng Qingshan would practice his spear arts and Xing Yi Martial Arts at home and the clansmen would normally rarely see him.

“Brother!” A pretty girl delightedly shouted from the training field.

“Qingyu.” Teng Qingshan cared very much for his younger sister. At thirteen years old, Qingyu had become extraordinary beautiful. Once a girl turned 14, she would count as an adult and could get married. Already, many people had come to propose a marriage with Teng Qingyu. Whether it was people outside the village or people from their own village, many suitors came.

The Teng clan was a dynasty that had a millennium long history. Within their history, there had been many dangerous and difficult days during migrations. In order to protect the clan’s heritage, there was no marriage allowed between cousins or even cousins twice removed.

However now that the situation of the Teng clan had stabilized, as so long as it was not within three degrees of kinship, they could get married.

“Qingyu, where is father right now?” Teng Qingshan asked.

“He is inside the weapon warehouse,” Teng Qingyu replied.

“Go ask Father to come home.” Teng Qingshan entrusted her with this task. “Mh, okay.” Teng Qingyu immediately ran towards the weapon warehouse, while Teng Qingshan held his bag and continued to walk towards home.

Shortly, inside Teng Qingshan’s living room.

Teng Yongfan, Teng Qingshan, and Teng Yunlong were all gathered here and Teng Yongfan immediately locked up the front door.

“Qingshan, what did you trade that 7 Jin 2 Taels Purple Radiant Coldsteel with?” Teng Yunlong was somewhat excited.

Teng Qingshan looked at his grandfather full of surprise, before hearing his father Teng Yongfan nearby laughing, “Qingshan, after you went to Yi City to trade, I went to your grandfather to discuss this matter and he was extremely happy. His grandson was so amazing that he could fight a Flood Dragon, haha. Seeing a youngster like you being so reckless made your grandfather very upset. However, fortunately your grandfather promised to help me build this weapon for you.”

“Thank you, Grandfather,” Teng Qingshan immediately said.

“Haha, I have been blacksmith for my whole lifetime. Being able to build a godly weapon, I can die with no regrets.” Teng Yunlong issued a hearty laugh.

“Grandfather, look.”

While taking, Teng Qingshan opened the two nearby cloth bags. Inside the first one, there were blocks of Star Pattern Steel and the other one was filled with dazzling lights. Once opened, the shiny gold bars inside caught everyone’s eyes.

Both Teng Yunlong and Teng Yongfan held their breaths while their eyes widened into perfect circles.

“There are 110 Jin of Star Pattern Steel and 60 Jin of gold!” Teng Qingshan said.

“60 Jin of gold!” Teng Yunlong was startled the moment, before immediately start laughing and looking at Teng Yongfan beside him, “Yongfan, in my whole life, I have never seen so much gold! Ah, 60 Jin is 620 taels of gold! With this gold, my Teng Jia Village wouldn’t be afraid to run out of money for at least a hundred years.”

The bars varied in weight, some weighed 1 tael per bar while some large bars weighed 1 Jin each.

Seeing such a big pile of gold bars, it could indeed shake a human’s eyes and move a person’s heart.

“7 Jin 2 Tael of Purple Radiant Coldsteel could be traded for so much Star Pattern Steel and gold!” Teng Yongfan also burst out laughing.

“Building a Godly Weapon with the Star Pattern Steel and Purple Radiant Coldsteel, I couldn’t even dare to dream of it before!” Teng Yunlong the eyes lit up, “A spear shaft of the best material, Star Pattern Steel and a spearhead of the toughest material, Purple Radiant Coldsteel. Within the Nine Prefectures, a weapon that surpassed this long spear would be hard to find.”
