The Magical Blacksmith

"Everyone, I don't read much, so I pronounce that character '下', right?"

"Boss Zhang, did you write it wrong?"

A group of monks seemed to have lost their souls and looked at Zhang Ye blankly.

"There is nothing wrong with ten pieces of high-grade spiritual stones, charged on a pay-per-use basis." Zhang Ye affirmed.

Although they had known this result for a long time, the monks actually felt like crying after hearing what Zhang Ye said.

Someone asked unwillingly: "Boss Zhang, does it cost ten high-grade spiritual stones to repair a low-grade flying sword?"

"What about refining?"

"Both." Zhang Ye nodded.

Somehow, many monks who were originally grieved became angry again. It only cost one hundred low-grade spiritual stones to repair the flying sword just now. Why did it become a sky-high price now?

Especially those monks who had been waiting in line for several days to refine, felt that they had been teased, and their eyes burst into flames, and they yelled and cursed: "Zhang Ye, you gave birth to a son without Gou Gou."

“Let’s unite to protest against Iron Rooster’s unreasonable charges!”

"It's obviously the same refining and restoration, why should the price increase?"

The monks no longer had any scruples and scolded them very harshly, hoping that Zhang Ye could give a reasonable explanation, but Zhang Ye was too lazy to explain: "Turn left when you go out, and walk slowly without seeing him off."

A group of monks jumped in anger: "Iron Rooster, I'm going to chop you up!"

“Down with the profiteers and return my hard-earned money!”

The monks have long been dissatisfied with Zhang Ye's pretense, but they used to ask for help from Zhang Ye, so they forced themselves to endure it. Now they think that they can't afford to spend money anyway, so they might as well give him a beating to vent their anger.

The monks gathered together to attack. Of course, they did not dare to use spiritual power, otherwise they would violate the rules of Lingtai Town. However, with so many people, they could beat Zhang Ye out with physical strength.

Han Ling'er, who had been silent all this time, saw that everyone was about to beat Zhang Ye, and immediately stepped forward and stood with his sword horizontally crossed: "Don't act recklessly!"

Everyone was still a little in awe of Han Ling'er, but they just said angrily: "Senior Sister Ling'er, you are still helping this profiteer, are you doing it because he gives you five yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones a month as a benefit?"

"The wool comes from the sheep, and that's our hard-earned money!"

Although Han Ling'er didn't know why Zhang Ye suddenly increased his prices, and even to sky-high prices, she didn't care about the reason. Since she was a store clerk, she had the obligation to protect Zhang Ye.

When the monks saw that Han Ling'er was unmoved, their words became even more ugly: "Senior Sister Ling'er, it's useless for us to call you Senior Sister. You didn't expect to be bribed by just five spiritual stones. Do you have such a guilty conscience? "

"They are working together, and they must be doing a lot of bad things behind the scenes!"

"Come, the head on Junior Brother's neck is right here. Senior Sister, if you have the ability, come and get it!"

The monks were filled with indignation. Although they did not dare to attack Han Ling'er, they all stretched out their necks to let Han Ling'er chop him without fear of death.

Han Ling'er was so angry at these insults, but how dare she actually take action, not to mention that once she did, she would violate the rules of Lingtai Town, and these people were all from the same sect, so she couldn't bear it.

Just when Han Ling'er was forced to retreat step by step by the monks, Zhang Ye stepped forward and pulled Han Ling'er behind him: "Do you really think I have no temper?"

The sword in Zhang Ye's hand was as dazzling as a small sun. Many monks were stunned, with eager and fearful eyes. This was a top-grade magical weapon made by Zhang Ye, and even alarmed the great elder.

The monks did not dare to step forward anymore, but they kept saying: "Iron Rooster, do you want to kill someone? Come on, let's see if you have that ability!"

"Young man from the Qi Refining Realm, do you think you can scare me with a high-grade magic weapon?"

"Don't be afraid, everyone, come together and destroy the blacksmith shop!"

…

Han Ling'er held Zhang Ye's arm and told him not to be impulsive. Once he used his spiritual power, the fault would be his. Elder Wu would definitely punish him severely, and he might even have his hands and feet disabled.

These monks are like grandsons when they ask for help. Once they feel that they can't count on Zhang Ye, they turn their backs and deny others. Seeing the arrogance of everyone, Zhang Ye can't bear it. After all, they are all making trouble. Who can hold it back? ?

"Zhang Ye, you have the ability to kill me..." A monk stepped forward and stretched out his hand to slap Zhang Ye, but before he could finish his words, Zhang Ye swung his sword, and the huge power of the local sword was exuded. Yes, it was knocked out of the shop.

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Zhang Ye to really dare to take action, but before they could react, Zhang Ye struck a few more swords, and all the monks staying in the blacksmith shop were kicked out by Zhang Ye.

In the blink of an eye, the originally arrogant monks were lying on the street with bruises all over their bodies. They never dreamed that Zhang Ye would really dare to hit someone? The most important thing is, why is Zhang Ye so powerful?

Just kidding, Zhang Ye himself has foundation-building skills, and coupled with the top-quality magical weapons, it is easy to teach this group of monks who dare not use spiritual power.

The monks scolded Zhang Ye, but then burst into laughter: "You dare to hurt people in Lingtai Town, and you also hurt my Lingtai Sect disciples, Zhang Ye, you are finished!"

"The last time a Jindan cultivator attacked a Lingtai Sect disciple, he had his limbs and limbs cut off by Elder Wu and was thrown into the Fierce Beast Valley..."

The monks were very excited when they thought of this, and Elder Wu's figure came unexpectedly.

Boss Wu had a face on his face, glanced at Zhang Ye, and then at the many monks who were covered in bruises. His expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

The monks of Lingtai Sect quickly said: "Elder Wu, Zhang Ye beat so many of us, he should be expelled from Lingtai Town!"

"It's best to kill this animal as a warning to others!"

The monks rushed to complain, looking at Zhang Ye viciously from time to time.

Han Ling'er frowned and quickly explained, indicating that it was these disciples who started the trouble.

But Elder Wu shouted loudly: "I am in charge of the rules of Lingtai Town, so I naturally know who is right and who is wrong!"

There was a proud smile in the eyes of the monks. In Lingtai Town, no one is allowed to hurt anyone for any reason. Elder Wu will punish anyone who dares to disobey. This has been done in the past, and this time, there will be no exception.

Boss Wu Chang looked at Zhang Ye with a serious face: "Zhang Ye intentionally hurt others, I will sentence you to——"

When the monks heard this, they smiled ferociously. Dear elder Wu, please sentence him to death without a complete body!

"I sentence you to a fine of ten low-grade spiritual stones." After Elder Wu finished speaking, he nodded with satisfaction, as if he was pleased with his fair decision.

A group of monks had already prepared cheers of victory, but they almost choked when they heard Elder Wu's verdict. So many people were injured, why was he only fined ten low-grade spiritual stones?

Zhang Ye was also stunned. In fact, when he started to hurt people, he relied on the defense of the blacksmith shop. Once the door was closed, the ancestors of Yuanying could not attack. Even if Elder Wu favored the Lingtai Sect monks, Zhang Ye would still die. No worries.

I never thought that I would be fined ten yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. If I had known better, I would have fined him a hundred yuan of low-grade spiritual stones.

The monks of Lingtai Sect were a little dissatisfied, but they did not dare to disobey Elder Wu. They just kept on saying: "Elder Wu, my bones are all broken..."

"It doesn't look like I have any external injuries, but my young mind has been severely damaged."

"I've been beaten stupid!"

Elder Wu looked at the group of monks again and frowned, as if he was really considering their injuries. The monks nodded excitedly, hoping that Elder Wu could change the punishment plan.

"If you gather a crowd to cause trouble and disrupt the market order in Lingtai Town, you will be fined one hundred low-grade spiritual stones and banned for three months. This will be implemented immediately!" After Elder Wu finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Ye again and disappeared.

The monks were dumbfounded. Damn it, was it the fake Elder Wu who came just now? Zhang Ye, who hit someone, was only fined ten low-grade spiritual stones. Those who were beaten were not only fined one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, but also were banned for three months?

Is this still the impartial and selfless Elder Wu? If Zhang Ye's surname was not Zhang and Elder Wu's surname was Wu, everyone would suddenly think that Zhang Ye was Elder Wu's illegitimate son...

Although they were confused, everyone did not dare to disobey Elder Wu's decision. They got up one after another and prepared to go to the management office to pay the fine. However, before they left, they said viciously: "Zhang Ye, just do whatever you want. I'm waiting for the day you commit suicide."

"Hmph, when Senior Brother Xingchen comes out of seclusion, that's when this iron rooster will die!"

"How dare the blacksmith shop give up on us? It will be closed down within three days!"

They said everything, but Zhang Ye didn't take it to heart. From the moment the high-grade spiritual stones were priced, these foundation-building and Qi-refining monks were destined not to be customers of the blacksmith shop, so Zhang Ye didn't feel it was a pity.

The blacksmith shop that used to be crowded with people is now deserted, but Zhang Ye said with a smile: "I can finally relax for a few days."

Han Ling'er looked at Zhang Ye with a lot of doubts in her heart, but she was now a clerk in a blacksmith shop and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Zhang Ye noticed Han Ling'er's look and said with a smile: "Do you think that my sudden high price is unreasonable, or even asking for death?"

Han Ling'er was shocked. She didn't say anything. How did Zhang Ye know?

However, Han Ling'er never lied, so she nodded: "In this case, the blacksmith shop will have no business at all."

Immediately, Han Ling'er thought of something again and said, "If you have difficulty with expenses later, you don't need to pay me my salary."

Han Ling'er had already begun to plan for the future difficulties of the blacksmith shop. Zhang Ye smiled and said: "If you don't do the business of a small monk, then do the business of a big monk. It's just ten high-grade spiritual stones. Golden elixir or Yuanying Lao Zu can still get it."

Han Ling'er took a deep breath and realized that Zhang Ye wanted to develop high-end users! Thinking about it, if Zhang Ye opened up the business of making high-grade flying swords, he would really be able to attract experts above the golden elixir level.

However, Han Linger thought that it was a bit cruel for Zhang Ye to abandon those young monks like this.

How could Zhang Ye not know what Han Ling'er was thinking? After hesitating for a moment, he said: "If there is a Qi Refining Realm killer who kills a target who is also in the Qi Refining Realm, he will charge one hundred; when the killer grows to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the killing Targets at the foundation level are charged one thousand; but when the killer becomes a golden elixir or a Nascent Soul, can each of his shots still be calculated as one hundred thousand?"

"Similarly, as my forging technology improves, the fees will naturally increase, because I have also paid the cost of learning. As for giving up low-end customers, will a Yuanying killer still accept orders to kill Qi refining monks?"

"Finally, opening a shop is to do business, not to do charity. Otherwise, it will harm yourself and others. Just like today, because of my price increase, the monks turned against me and even smashed my shop. If I If the price was set at this price from the beginning, would something like this still happen?”

Three consecutive rhetorical questions completely brainwashed Han Ling'er. The reason why the monks complained about Zhang Ye's high fees was because their level was too low and they didn't understand Zhang Ye's power at all. If we use the metaphor of cultivation realm, Zhang Ye's forging technology is definitely at the Nascent Soul level!

If anyone uses low-grade spiritual stones to measure the strength of the Yuanying Ancestor, they will spit on you to death!

Thinking of this, Han Ling'er said with determination: "Boss, how about increasing the price?"
