Chaotic Martial Arts: I Have Too Many Brothers

Chapter 56 The Value of Forging a Sword

The next moment, a tall, thin man walked out from behind the screen.

His height of over two meters makes him stand out.

He was on the thin side, but the bones in his arms seemed to be naturally different from those of ordinary people, being two sizes larger than average.

Ye Tian glanced at the other party without showing any emotion.

According to the intelligence gathered by Mei Yongning, Hua Gu was the most capable leader under Lao Yao, a ruthless and taciturn type.

"block!"

After years of serving his subordinates, the old demon didn't waste any words.

He said it directly, and then swung his sword at Hua Gu, who was prepared and immediately drew his own sword to defend himself.

"Clang!"

The old demon used considerable force, and with one strike, a crisp sound rang out.

The long sword in Hua Gu's hand snapped in two.

Seeing this, both the old demon and Hua Gu were stunned for a moment. Although Hua Gu's longsword could not be considered a divine weapon, it was still of good quality.

How could the old demon be unwilling to give his men a better weapon? Yet, even so, it was still cut in half.

"A fine knife."

Hua Gu wasn't the type to talk much, but even she couldn't help but gasp in surprise, her eyes fixed intently on the knife in the old demon's hand.

"Hahaha! Not bad, not bad."

The old demon was extremely satisfied, but then felt a little regretful.

"Unfortunately, I don't like using knives."

Not everyone in a gang likes to use a knife; Lao Yao is most famous for his red-tasseled spear.

This isn't some martial arts world; there's no sword energy, saber energy, or any of that nonsense. Everyone knows the principle that an inch longer means an inch stronger.

There was once a famous figure in the martial arts world whose swordsmanship was superb, but when he fought, he never used a sword. He always used a spear, and his main strategy was to make sure that no one could touch him.

"Big brother, actually..."

You don't use a knife, but I do.

Hua Gu's eyes burned with intense passion.

"Alright, take it and play with it. Don't embarrass yourself here."

Old Demon knew how much Hua Gu loved knives. He didn't hold it against her, but he still said something in an annoyed tone.

They didn't say they would give it directly to Huagu.

After all, the business deal with Ye Tian isn't finished yet, and the knife still belongs to Ye Tian, ​​so it's inappropriate to offer it as a gift at this time.

He waved his hand, indicating that the other party could get lost.

"Thank you, brother."

Hua Gu happily accepted the Hundred-Refined Blade, and smiled broadly. As she left, she smiled and nodded to Ye Tian.

It seems that because of this knife, Hua Gu now looks at Ye Tian much more kindly.

,,,

After the flower buds left.

The old demon looked at Ye Tian again.

"Did you really make this knife?"

The old demon's eyes were burning. Just as Ye Tian had said before, there were indeed many forging workshops, but good blacksmiths were few and far between. This thing was the most precious.

"If you don't believe me, Master, I have many more knives like these. You can bring them over to see."

"Hahaha! No need, no need. I naturally believe in the reputation of the peerless benevolent and righteous Young Master Yu."

Seeing Ye Tian's confidence, the old demon did not ask for proof.

Moreover, Ye Tian wasn't lying; the hammerhead could indeed forge such a hundred-times-forged blade, but it was too time-consuming, and in Ye Tian's opinion, it wasn't worth it at all.

"I plan to turn this quality knife into a masterpiece. The ones sold normally are only a second-tier product, about 10% of this quality."

"Um?"

"After all, scarcity increases value, right?"

Old Demon is a smart man.

The slight doubt I had instantly vanished upon hearing those words.

"Haha, that's right, that's right. Things are valued for their scarcity. I didn't realize you had such a talent for business."

If there is an oversupply of high-quality forged knives, they will become worthless. Only by controlling the quality can we ensure future sales.

"No businessman is as comfortable as someone who's involved in a gang."

Ye Tian smiled nonchalantly.

In normal times, doing business is fine, but in this chaotic feudal era, becoming a wealthy merchant is simply being slaughtered like a lamb to the slaughter.

That's interesting, so very interesting.

Ye Tian's series of answers only increased the old demon's interest in the young man before him.

"How will the profits be split?"

This clearly indicates that they are preparing to cooperate, but how to split the profits is another issue.

Although Ye Tian intended to use the old demon's power, he would not treat himself unfairly.

"The hall master provides the iron ore, and I provide the forging technology. We'll split it 30/70, you get 30%, I get 70%."

It sounds like Ye Tian got a great deal, but these days, having a skill is a big advantage. Iron ore can be bought from other places, but it won't be so easy for Lao Yao to find the skill to forge the Hundred-Forged Blade again.

"..."

The old demon remained silent, clearly aware of this as well.

"but."

Ye Tian didn't make any definitive statements.

"I'm relatively new to this place and not familiar with many areas of Linshui City. As you should know, after taking down the Feiyun Gang, I already have a small dock. If you can provide a sales channel, I wouldn't mind giving you another 10%."

That makes it a 40/60 split.

While there's no shortage of buyers for weapons, finding a market that can sell large quantities at once isn't so easy.

The old demon has been entrenched in Linshui City for so many years, it's impossible that he doesn't have such connections.

That's perfect, it saves me the trouble of finding sales channels myself.

A 40/60 split? A smile gradually appeared on Lao Yao's lips. He was quite satisfied with this split.

Just like Ye Tian said.

Having spent so long in Linshui City, although he has kept a low profile recently, the old demon is certainly not lacking in connections.

In fact, if you want to, you can contact more than a dozen people in a day.

"Haha, you've put it that way, it would be too disrespectful of me to refuse."

Cooperation reached.

He was one step closer to taking the position of hall master.

"Come, come, have some tea."

Once the business deal is done, it's just a matter of friendship from now on.

The old demon subconsciously picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and the next moment...

"Pah! What a piece of junk."

He vomited it out immediately.

I didn't bother with any pretense and just said it directly.

"I'm not going to drink any bird tea, let's just drink wine."

Even after all this time, Lao Yao still couldn't get used to this stuff. Of course, Lao Yao subconsciously didn't think that the tea he brewed was bad; it was just that the stuff itself was unpleasant to drink.

"Since the hall master has said so, I will naturally risk my life to accompany him."

Ye Tian did not refuse.

After all, he still needs to rely on the old demon's influence to take the position of hall master.

This will be more conducive to future development.

,,,

"Brother, to be honest, how many of these hundred-forged swords do you still have?"

After a few rounds of drinks, the old demon put his arm around Ye Tian's neck, acting as if they were very close friends. From their conversation while drinking, the old demon already knew the name of the Hundred-Forged Blade.

Of course, if it were to be sold, it would definitely be given a better-sounding and more imposing name.

That's what everyone in the martial arts world believes in.

"Brother, as you know, these hundred-forged swords are not easy to forge, and I don't have many, only about ten."

Ye Tian looked drunk.
