    "It's not too late, it's not too late, we have just arrived." Shopkeeper Ma said and gestured to the two maids at the door, indicating that they could serve the dishes.  Then he introduced Tie Heng.  "Come, Brother Heng, let me introduce you to this. This is the deacon of the Zhao family in Tiexiang County, Mr. Zhao. The Zhao family is a well-known family in the local area, and Taigong Zhao is also highly respected. He once served as a high-ranking official in the capital and is hereditary.  He holds the title of county magistrate, and the governor often visits him."

    His words were not only a compliment to Mr. Zhao, but also a reminder to Tie Heng that the other person's status was unusual and he needed to be treated with caution.

    "Second Master Zhao!" Tie Heng saluted the man.

    "Hey!" Mr. Zhao didn't return the greeting. He lazily raised his eyelids and looked at Tie Heng up and down for a while. Then he raised his eyebrows and said in a nonchalant way: "You are Tie Heng."  Yes? Well, I have often heard people talk about the reputation of you and your senior brothers in Tiexiang County. I didn¡¯t expect that when I saw you today, hey, you are really young, so young! I think it¡¯s the best age to learn skills!¡±

    The meaning behind his words was too obvious, which was that he didn¡¯t trust Tie Heng because he was young.  Shopkeeper Ma's face suddenly turned ugly. The client had doubts because of Tie Heng's age. He had met Tie Heng many times before and knew that Tie Heng would use his true skills to persuade the other party. However, Mr. Zhao's rudeness made him confused.  Somewhat angry.  As a middleman, if someone is rude to Tie Heng, it is tantamount to embarrassing him!

    Tie Heng remained calm, with a peaceful smile on his face, as if he didn't hear the disrespect in the other person's words.

    "What Second Master Zhao said is right. We young people learn things quickly and have quick minds. We have novel ideas and lots of ideas. We are even more energetic, don't you think?" Tie Heng pulled shopkeeper Ma and sat down on the chair together.

    "Hey, what you said makes sense." Mr. Zhao looked a little surprised. He didn't seem to expect that Tie Heng was famous at a young age. He should be arrogant and arrogant, but he could hold his breath so calmly. His attitude couldn't help but change slightly.  Change.

    "I, Zhao Dongshan, am the manager of the Zhao family who takes the incense. You are polite." Mr. Zhao then put down the tea cup in his hand and cupped his hand towards Tie Heng.

    "You're welcome, Mr. Zhao," Tie Heng replied.

    "Let me tell you, how could these people from aristocratic families be so rude?" He murmured in his heart. Shopkeeper Ma sitting aside also saw at this time that Mr. Zhao's arrogance just now was done deliberately, just for the sake of  Test Tie Heng's character.  After all, doing business is not only about the quality of the product, but also sometimes the object of the transaction.  That is to say, the human factor occupies a more important position.

    "Everyone's time is valuable, so there's no need to say any more polite words. Here are a few lists. I'd like Mr. Tie to take a look at them first and decide whether you can accept them." Mr. Zhao took out a stack of paper from his arms.  Place it on the table and gently push it in front of Tie Heng.

    Tie Heng glanced at Mr. Zhao with a smile.  Then I picked up the stack of lists, shook them open and looked at them carefully.  The Second Master Zhao calmly observed the changes in Tie Heng's expression.  After a while, I saw that Tie Heng had already read several lists, but the look on his face was still the same as before, with a faint smile. He couldn't help but glance at Tie Heng secretly, with some appreciation in his eyes.  color.

    ¡°This boy is unusual for an ordinary young man, he is calm and majestic, no wonder he can achieve such a great reputation at such an age.¡± Mr. Zhao thought to himself.

    "Oh, this is such a big deal from Zhao!" At the same moment, Tie Heng's heart was not as calm as he looked on the face.  Listed on these lists are all kinds of spiritual equipment and magic weapons entrusted to him to refine. The large number is definitely the largest business deal Tie Heng has received in the past two years, and the compensation given by the other party is extremely high.  Rich, anyone will be tempted.

    "Do you have any other requirements?" The list recorded the quantity, specifications, uses, etc. of various items, but did not mention a time limit, so Tie Heng would ask this question.

    "One year! Give the young master one year. All the raw materials will be provided by our Zhao family. The young master only needs to concentrate on refining the finished product according to our requirements. What do you think?" Seeing Tie Heng facing such a big deal.  But he didn't act impatient, and the tone of Mr. Zhao's words became a little more polite without realizing it.

    "One year?" Tie Heng was not surprised by the change in his attitude. He knew very well that the other party was still testing him and observing his reaction based on the huge quantities of materials and huge profits on these lists. If he  Showing ecstasy or impatient expression will definitely be looked down upon by the other party.  But at this moment, Tie Heng had no intention of caring about this. He lowered his eyebrows and pondered, calculating whether one year would be enough and the gains and losses involved.  With such a large number of commissions for refining, it would definitely take a lot of energy. Tie Heng would have to turn down some other commissions and would also lose money.Tie Heng had to carefully consider the time spent on training.

    Mr. Zhao didn¡¯t rush him, he picked up the teacup and drank the hot tea.  At this time, someone knocked on the door gently outside the private room, and shopkeeper Ma whispered: "Come in!"

    When the door opened, a maid saluted at the door, then waved back, and several other maids filed in.  They all held various dishes in their hands. After getting the consent of Shopkeeper Ma, they announced the names of the dishes and placed the dishes on the table. Finally, they poured wine for the three guests sitting there, and then left one after another.

    "If the three masters have orders, the maid will be waiting outside the door." The maid at the beginning bowed again before exiting the door, but her eyes quietly glanced at Tie Heng and saw him thinking.  He was looking at something and didn't pay attention to her. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyebrows.

    This expression happened to be seen by Mr. Zhao. In addition, he had just discovered that the first thing the maids who served food paid attention to was Tie Heng when they entered the door. They all looked at him secretly, their eyes were watery and full of love.  The admiration cannot be understood more clearly.

    "This boy is really handsome and extraordinary in appearance. Among the many wealthy families in Fuzhou, there are really not many young people who can match him." Mr. Zhao suddenly had these thoughts.

    ¡° Two years have passed, Tie Heng¡¯s figure has become more and more tall and strong, and the proportions of his limbs are also well-proportioned and perfect, full of the charm of a man¡¯s bodybuilding and masculinity.  The handsome face is also more mature than before, with a pair of bright eyes that shine with wisdom.  Naturally favored by women.  Not to mention that Tie Heng has always had no airs and always has a gentle smile on his face when facing everyone.  He makes people feel warm and kind in their hearts after seeing him. It's no wonder that these maids can't help but fall in love with him and secretly agree with him.

    "It's a waste of youth to be romantic!" Shopkeeper Ma seemed to understand what Mr. Zhao was thinking, and said this with a smile.

    "That's right, that's right. What Boss Ma said is absolutely right." Mr. Zhao laughed and nodded repeatedly.

    Hearing this, Tie Heng smiled and said nothing. When Mr. Zhao turned his eyes back to him, he folded the lists.  Place it on the table between the two of you.  ¡°It¡¯s not a problem to complete these commissions within one year, but the commission needs to be increased by 30%.¡±

    "Can it really be completed in one year?" Mr. Zhao asked in surprise, but what he cared about was not the increased price.

    "It seems that Second Master Zhao is still worried about the boy." Tie Heng said this, his expression full of confidence.

    His confident look seemed to be magically contagious. Mr. Zhao looked at him deeply for a while and finally slapped him.  "Okay, as long as Mr. Tie can really complete it on time, our Zhao family will add another 30% commission.

    Tie Heng didn¡¯t speak either.  Picking up the wine glass in front of him, he toasted Mr. Zhao with a glass of wine. Shopkeeper Ma was happy to see that the business was going well.  He had a drink with him and invited the two of them to eat.  "Come, come. Let's eat while it's hot. Brother Heng, I know you like to eat fish. So I specially ordered this fairy water fish soup, using Longjiang white fish. Try it quickly."

    "Shopkeeper Ma is interested." Tie Heng nodded in thanks, scooped out a small bowl of fish soup, and tasted it. It was indeed delicious.  Shopkeeper Ma and Mr. Zhao also tasted it and said it was delicious.

    Only then did Tie Heng take back the stack of lists and put them in his arms.  He didn't just open his mouth like a lion, but he took a fancy to the other party's urgent needs.  Most of the fragrant items entrusted to him by the Zhao family were weapons and armors with uniform specifications and large quantities. At first glance, they were ready to be used to arm the family's private soldiers.

    The catastrophe two years ago was a wake-up call for these aristocratic families. Even if they violated the laws of Da Rong, they were overtly or covertly increasing the force of their families to cope with greater dangers in the future.  And Zhao's demand is so great and the time given is so short, this request is not simple.  Tie Heng was convinced that Zhao must have consulted or entrusted other alchemists before, but those people could not meet their conditions, but it also made them understand the difficulty.  Now that Tie Heng can complete it according to the time limit given by them, this is very important to the Zhao family. After all, the sooner the private soldiers can form combat effectiveness, the more beneficial it is to the family, and the clan members will have more protection, so they have to pay more money for this.  , they are naturally willing.  In addition, Tie Heng also knew that the other party would definitely make some special requests, which he had already seen from the stack of lists.

    Sure enough, Mr. Zhao took out two more orders, handed them to Tie Heng solemnly, and said in a low voice: "These are some additional things, Master Tie, let's see if they are feasible."

    While he was speaking, he glanced sideways at Shopkeeper Ma, who turned away knowingly and admired the scenery outside the window.

    Tie Heng unfolded the list and read it carefully, with a trace of surprise on his face.  The first list recorded all the additional requirements for the previous batch of spirit-enchanting equipment and some magic weapons, such as adding some secret functions, orThe magic weapon plus the restrictive spells, etc., these are what it should mean, and they are also the reason why Zhao entrusted such a large order to one person. After all, the fewer people know these secrets, the better.  Otherwise, you can divide it into several parts and entrust it to different alchemists, and maybe the cost will be cheaper.

    What really surprised Tie Heng was the second order. The Zhao family actually wanted to refine two precious phantoms and three sets of array flag gates.  After reading their requests, Tie Heng couldn't help but sigh at Zhao's determination to spare no expense.  At the same time, he also needs to think carefully, because he has just been able to refine this Noble Phantasm and the Formation Flag Gate independently, and he is not yet sure of it.  T¨¨bi¨¦ is the flag gate of this formation. They can be arranged into formations to protect the formation. They can also be carried around and used more flexibly.  Correspondingly, this type of special magic weapon is extremely difficult to refine, and has a high probability of failure.  What's more, Zhao required one set of large flag gates and two sets of medium-sized arrays at one time. For Tie Heng, this was somewhat beyond the limit of his abilities.

    "Master Tie, are you able to take over?" Mr. Zhao thought for a while before asking Tie Heng slowly.

    "It takes a lot of time to refine these things, and the resources you need to invest are also extraordinary" Tie Heng did not answer directly.  Instead, he raised his own concerns.

    "Young master, don't worry about the materials. We still have some money to get the incense from the Zhao family. As for the time limit we will limit it to two years. What do you think?" Mr. Zhao paused and added.  "In terms of commission, it is still as the young master said just now, and it will also be increased by 30%."

    Tie Heng's eyes flashed. The amount of the commission was already written on the order. Now the other party promised that the previously negotiated conditions were also valid. This price made even him excited.

    "Okay, I've accepted all of this entrustment." Tie Heng made up his mind and answered decisively.

    "It's settled." Mr. Zhao was also overjoyed.  He was originally worried that Tie Heng was not capable enough to refine the Noble Phantasm and the Formation Flag Gate.  Now seeing that Tie Heng agreed and acted like he had the pearl of wisdom in hand, I was somewhat relieved.  Among the requirements put forward by their Zhao family, these three sets of array flag gates all have special functions. They can be used in conjunction with the previously customized spiritual equipment and magic weapons to complement each other and greatly enhance their respective powers.  It is an important part of Zhao's plan to deal with the upcoming Great Shattering, so naturally it is most appropriate to leave it to an alchemist to refine it.  And for these equipment magic weapons.  The family does not hesitate to use the wealth accumulated over generations of hard work, just to preserve the family's descendants in the coming wave of destruction

    "One word is settled." Tie Heng nodded lightly.

    "Then we will sign a contract in three days, how about it?" Mr. Zhao asked.

    Tie Heng did not answer immediately, but exchanged a look with Shopkeeper Ma.  Seeing the latter nodding in agreement, he agreed.  The various terms of the contract need to be negotiated and formulated by both parties. Tie Heng and Zhao Erye just determined the general policy of mutual cooperation.  As for the details, Tie Heng remains the same as before.  Leave full power to Shopkeeper Ma to negotiate with the other party. After three days, he only needs to sign his name on the contract.

    "Haha. Great. Come on, Zhao will give Mr. Tie and Boss Ma a drink." Mr. Zhao picked up the wine glass and toasted to the two of them.  "Do it first as a courtesy, please!"

    He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. Tie Heng and Shopkeeper Ma looked at each other and drank their drinks.  After the business was settled, the three of them were able to enjoy the delicious food on the table, and chatted with each other about the current situation and business matters. When everyone was full and full, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.

    In the end, Mr. Zhao left first on the pretext that he still had things to do, leaving only Tie Heng and Shopkeeper Ma in the private room.

    "Come here, please remove these cups and plates and serve a pot of good tea." Shopkeeper Ma ordered out the door, and two maids immediately walked in, took away the cups and plates, and then replaced them with a new pot of tea.  Brewed hot tea.

    "Thank you for your hard work, two girls." Seeing the two maids winking at him while they were busy working, Tie Heng couldn't help but express his gratitude, so he took a few coins and quietly stuffed them into their hands.

    "It's not hard for us to serve the young master." One of the maids smiled and boldly replied, and the other one nodded in agreement.  Their charming looks and soft voices make people's bones melt when they see and hear them.  Fortunately, there is still a shopkeeper Ma in the room, otherwise these two maids would probably fall into Tie Heng's arms and continue to serve him.

    Shopkeeper Ma lowered his head to drink tea, pretending he didn't hear anything.  At this time, there was a noise outside the door. A few well-dressed men strode upstairs, talking and laughing loudly as they walked. The loud and rough voices made people's eardrums hurt, and it also showed that these people were wearing  Not bad internal strength.

    They were led into another private room by a waiter.Fortunately, he was opposite Tie Heng and the two, with the door open, so he could see clearly what these people were wearing.

    "People from the Zhenwu Association!" Shopkeeper Ma recognized their origins from the way they dressed.

    "Well, it looks like he is still a senior member." Tie Heng saw more.

    After the big men opposite sat down in the private room, they slapped the table to urge the food and drinks to be served quickly, which seemed very rude.  The two maids showed displeasure on their faces, but it was the busiest time at this time, and several floors lacked manpower, so even though they were reluctant, they still had to go over to serve tea and greet the guests, so they had to look around reluctantly.  He glanced at Tie Heng and walked towards the opposite side.

    "The development speed of Zhenwu Association in the past two years is really amazing." Shopkeeper Ma seemed to be inspired.

    The Zhenwu Society is an organization similar to a mercenary group. Most of its members are demon slayers. They mainly undertake the tasks issued by the Jingping Society. They also often deal with the government and do things that are inconvenient for the government to come forward. However, they are able to enjoy themselves in all walks of life.  .  In the past two years, their scale has grown unprecedentedly. The number of members has suddenly expanded from more than 3,000 to more than 10,000. The number of experts above the fifth grade in the association has also reached double digits. In Fuzhou  Even among several surrounding state capitals, it can be regarded as the most powerful group of its kind.

    Of course, other demon-slayer groups have also expanded to varying degrees during this period, and many newly established groups have also sprung up.  This is all the result of that catastrophe. In addition, space cracks have appeared from time to time in various places in the past two years. Demonic invasions have become more and more frequent. The imperial court continues to expand its armaments despite extremely difficult financial circumstances.  Among the people, demon slayers have naturally become the most prosperous business.  Hunting monsters, guarding caravans, or being hired by some villages and towns, etc., all require a large number of manpower, and many young people are attracted to this industry.  Nowadays, in Tianfeng City, the most common people seen on the streets are all kinds of demon slayers, who have made some contributions to the prosperous business of Tianfeng City, such as this shopkeeper Ma (To be continued.  )
