Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 92 I'm Just Here to Deliver an Invitation
Tang Zheng spoke beautifully.
But, in other words, what it means is: unless I give my approval, you little bastards should stop jumping around.
And one month is exactly the time that Master Lu Huang will invite him back!
The next day, Mo Feng, who came to Bailianfang to deliver the invitation personally, arrived very early.
Not unusually early.
The lunch prepared by Tangjiabao had to be strangely turned into breakfast because they arrived so early.
breakfast!
Tang Xiaotang and the others were all very depressed.
When a distinguished guest from Bailianfang comes, why should he just be treated to breakfast?
But Mo Feng arrived too early. It was just dawn when he appeared at the gate of Tangjiabao.
Moreover, he was the only one with two apprentices, a total of three people, and they came here on horseback instead of taking a carriage.
Tang Xiaotang and the others only had time to serve a few bowls of porridge and side dishes.
Mo Feng and his friends ate very quickly. It took only half an incense stick of time for the three of them to finish their breakfast. Mo Feng wiped his mouth and said, "Thank you for the hospitality of Tangjiabao. Where is Mr. Tang Zheng?"
"I'll take you there!" Tang Xiaotang personally led the way for Mo Feng.
The two apprentices behind Mo Feng delivered the invitations to everyone in Tangjiabao to different places.
Tang Xiaotang was halfway there when she suddenly remembered a serious problem.
She was caught off guard by the timing of Mo Feng's arrival, and as a result, she forgot something very important - to send someone to notify Tang Zheng!
So, when Mo Feng arrived at Tang Zheng's yard, what he saw was Tang Zheng wearing pajamas and with a messy head of hair.
Tang Zheng was brushing his teeth in the yard. When he looked up, he saw Mo Feng and Tang Xiaotang walking in.
"Oh my god, my image!" Tang Zheng spat out the water in his mouth and quickly lowered his head, not looking at Mo Feng's curious eyes.
…
Tang Zheng asked Mo Feng to go into the house and sit down first, and then he quickly cleaned himself up.
Tang Xiaotang smiled and went to get him breakfast, leaving Tang Zheng and Mo Feng alone.
Mo Feng handed a purple gold engraved invitation to Tang Zheng solemnly: "Master Lu Huang will come to Wulong Town on the fifth day of May. He will host a banquet to welcome Master Tang Zheng back. This is the invitation."
Tang Zheng opened it and took a look. The date was May 5th, the location was Yangxian Tower next to Bailianfang on East Street, and the inviter was Lu Huang. Everything was written very clearly.
After Tang Zheng finished reading the invitation, Mo Feng bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave first."
"Wait, wait." Tang Zheng hurriedly stopped him. Could it be that this tech geek was really here to deliver an invitation and leave?
"Is there anything else?" Mo Feng turned around.
"Things... well, let me think about it. There really is one!" Tang Zheng took out his purple jade green phoenix pendant and asked, "How much can I buy for this item at Bailianfang?"
Mo Feng picked up the purple jade Luan pendant, looked at it for a long time, and raised his head: "How much do you want?"
Tang Zheng estimated: "It's of similar quality, thirty or forty yuan should be enough, right?"
"..." Mo Feng immediately thought of the dagger he was studying.
Hundreds of taels of purple gold were used to forge a one-star dagger. Mo Feng's heart ached when he thought about it.
Now, when he heard Tang Zheng asking for thirty or forty purple jade and blue phoenix pendants, he almost vomited blood.
He could barely get one or two pieces, but what about thirty or forty pieces? How many purple jade blue phoenix pendants were there in the entire Xingyao Continent?
Most of the fine Qing Dynasty engravings have owners. Could he have snatched them from others?
"Why do you need so many?" Mo Feng, a tech geek, thought for a long time and finally came back to the root of the problem. "You are only one person, and you can only wear two accessories at the same time. How can you wear thirty or forty?"
"Why not buy it and give it to someone as a gift?" Tang Zheng said with a smile as he flipped through the book "Notes on Stepping into the Palace" on the table.
"Send it to the people of Tangjiabao?" Mo Feng looked at him puzzledly, "You have so much purple gold, why not just use it to re-engraving and repair the formation of Tangjiabao's martial arts training ground! Although the effect is definitely not as good as the Purple Jade True Luan Pendant, it is much cheaper and saves a lot of trouble."
When Tang Zheng heard this, his lips opened slightly.
When he first came to Tangjiabao, he heard Tang Xiaotang say that if he wanted to cultivate star power, he must go to the martial arts training ground, because the martial arts training ground has a purple gold dust formation that can increase the speed of cultivation.
But from what Mo Feng said, can the formation of the Tang Family Castle's martial arts training ground be redrawn?
"But I don't know how to draw a formation." Tang Zheng raised his eyelids seemingly unintentionally and asked, "Can you?"
"Of course." Mo Feng replied proudly.
Not every foundry worker can use purple gold.
And he is one of them!
"Casting purple gold...is difficult, right?" Tang Zheng asked again.
"If you say it's difficult, it is indeed difficult, but if you say it's simple, as long as the master leads the right way, it is also very simple." Mo Feng was a little modest.
"In that case, I'll trouble you today, Master Mo Feng." Tang Zheng quickly praised him. "Fortunately, Master Mo Feng was able to re-draw the formation of the Tang Family Fort martial arts training ground, saving me the trouble of searching everywhere for the Purple Jade True Luan Pendant!"
As he spoke, he casually pulled out a storage bag from under the bed and took out three gold bars.
Mo Feng's eyes widened. He was a craftsman and knew more about purple gold than Ban Yilou. He didn't even reach out to touch it, but his face turned pale: "Pure...pure gold?"
"Well, is that enough?" Tang Zheng asked, "I want the best formation!"
"..." Mo Feng didn't know what was going on in Tang Zheng's brain. He took out three such large pieces of purple gold and even asked if they were enough?
"Then, how is Master Mo Feng's remuneration calculated?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Five taels of purple gold!" The price Mo Feng asked for was not low, but his voice seemed weak compared to the three pieces of purple gold in front of him.
Mo Feng's eyes were still fixed on the three pieces of purple gold. He had already started to design in his mind that with three such large gold bars, perhaps there was no need to break the purple gold into gold chips, but to melt it directly into ink. The effect would be several times better than that of gold chips.
However, when he looked at the cut of the three pieces of purple gold, his face turned pale again.
The cutting process was so neat that it didn't look like it was cut by a human. It was so beautiful that he almost couldn't bear to melt it into water for use.
Tang Zheng waited for him to be stunned, but he didn't say anything. Tang Xiaotang came in and brought Tang Zheng breakfast. As soon as she saw his eyes, she felt that something bad was going to happen. She asked with a strange look on her face, "Master, why are you smiling so dignifiedly?"
"Ah? Really?" Tang Zheng squeezed his face with both hands, "Oh, didn't Master Mo Feng and I hit it off right away? I'm happy, yes, happy!"
…
Mo Feng, holding three pieces of purple gold, directed the two apprentices to go back to Bailianfang and move all kinds of furnaces, casting furnaces, and fusion furnaces over. Then he suddenly remembered that something was wrong!
He came to Tangjiabao early this morning, it seems he came to deliver an invitation?
When did the idea of redrawing the formation come up?
"Forget it, never mind. We have to do it just for such fine pure gold." Mo Feng shook his head. With the mentality of a technical geek who would do any job that came his way, he simply started drawing the design.
Tang Zheng stood aside, seemingly practicing martial arts while chatting with others, but in fact, his eyes were always glancing at Mo Feng's furnaces, trying to learn from them.
He only used a foundry furnace to forge the dagger, but when a real master foundry master came, more than a dozen furnaces were arranged at once. It looked very professional, and all the big and small things were done just like a chemical experiment.
He was thinking about when he could get a set himself, and get some beakers and test tubes, so that he would have a complete set, which would definitely look more professional and more impressive than the one from Bailianfang.
When redrawing the formation of the martial arts training ground, purple gold accounted for 90% of the main material. Mo Feng included the remaining scraps in the reward of two taels of purple gold without even mentioning it to Tang Zheng.
Describing the field array is a huge project.
Mo Feng and his seven apprentices worked for ten days before they completed the first engraving.
However, it took longer the first time.
After drying for a day, the second re-tracing took only two days.
After letting it dry for another day, the third re-tracing only took one day.
While Mo Feng and the others were working, Tang Zheng was actually practicing inside. As the formations were completed again and again, he could feel that his perception of star power had indeed become clearer. The formations carved out of three pieces of purple gold could improve the cultivation of star power to the same extent as the raw materials in his full purple gold belt!
"Well, I'll take my leave first." After Mo Feng finished this formation, the two dark circles under his eyes were no longer visible.
"Master, take care and have a good rest. Remember to take the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills when you go back..." Tang Zheng waved his hand with a smile.
For inferior craftsmen, casting consumes physical energy.
For a first-class craftsman, casting requires a lot of effort!
"Is this what you call...sentiment?" Azhi asked from the side.
"..." Tang Zheng stumbled.
"Hey, Master, what are you doing with these bags of garbage in your hands ?" Tang Xiaotang asked when she saw what was in Tang Zheng's hand.
What Tang Zheng was holding were all the auxiliary materials that Mo Feng and his team had not used up.
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "I'll keep it for experiments."
After Tang Zheng had picked up all the garbage, the disciples of Tang Family Castle stepped into the new formation of the martial arts training ground one by one. Their star power turned and their eyes widened in an instant.
"Compared with the field formation of Xuantian Yinyue Sect, it is not much different." Meng Fenghua said.
The children of Tangjiabao couldn't believe that the field formation of such a small family like theirs could be the same as that of a sect like Xuantian Yinyue Sect.
One by one, the disciples of Tang Family Castle entered the formation and began to practice quickly.
And Tang Zheng, of course, also joined them.
The accessories he wore already included a purple gold belt and a purple jade true phoenix pendant, and he couldn't have one more. The field formation of Tang Family Fort did not conflict with these two items and could bring additional training effects!
The stars are surging, and the star power is gathering...
Although he has spent some time and effort on Mo Feng these days, Tang Zheng's star power has already exceeded four thousand strands!
Yu Xie has already mastered it completely, and Yang Xiao has also started practicing.
After Yang Xiao has mastered the technique, he only has one last move left: Hate Mie!
And with the treasured notebook that Tang Boyuan gave him, Tang Zheng had the confidence to overcome all the obstacles in his way.
He kept practicing until noon. When it was almost time to eat, a servant beside Tang Boyuan fell over in two steps.
He ran very fast and shouted loudly from a distance: "Master! Your flowers, your flowers... are blooming! All of them are blooming!"
Although the servant didn't know what kind of flower it was, Tang Zheng knew what he was referring to as soon as he heard it.
After waiting for half a month, that piece of decadence and extravagance finally blossomed!
"What the hell is this saying that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone!" Tang Zheng put the dagger into the scabbard at his waist, "Let's go and see how Tang Yu and the others are recovering from their injuries..."
