A Demon’s Path

After reuniting with the shadow warriors and the Nether Ten Heroes in Taishan City, Ling Xiao walked away from them again, and finally arrived at the headquarters of the Zou family, Zoucheng, after a few days.

The Zou family is a family that focuses on forging and refining treasures. The entire Xuantian Continent, whether it is the Shenhun sect or the Demon Soul sect, must give the Zou family a face.

When Ling Xiao walked into Zoucheng, he realized what kind of changes a Zou family can bring to a city.

The most places in the whole city are not the places to eat, drink, have fun, prostitute and gamble, but the forge and treasure refining workshop.

The forging workshop is mainly for making weapons and armor, while the treasure refining workshop is for collecting various materials to forge treasures.

Almost 90% of the weapons, armors and magic weapons in the entire Xuantian Continent come from this city of Zou.

"Ding ding... Dangdang..." There were rhythmic hammering sounds one after another, which sounded quite pleasing to the ear, with a different kind of rhythmic beauty.

Ling Xiao glanced at the forging workshop and treasure refining workshop on both sides, and couldn't help but be amazed.

The signboards hung on these forging workshops and treasure refining workshops are all "Authentic Zouji Lianbao" or "Authentic Zouji Forging". , making Ling Xiao dumbfounded.

"Could it be that everyone in this city has the surname Zou Bucheng?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but complain.

Immediately next to him was a big man with a special hammer in his hand and chest muscles comparable to a woman's. He shifted his gaze from Yu'er to Ling Xiao, stared at his eyes as big as a bull's eye, and said roughly: "As long as The local residents of this city are all surnamed Zou, why are you unconvinced?"

Ling Xiao giggled twice, and immediately took out a kyanite, which directly squeezed that guy's big bull's eyes into cross-eyed ones.

"Tell me, what's going on in this city." Ling Xiao really didn't know that everyone in this city had the surname Zou, and some things had to be inquired about by a local, which would be more convenient.

It's not that Ling Xiao is wasting money, but that he is more generous in the Zou family's territory. His reputation will definitely reach the ears of the Zou family soon, and Ling Xiao is still very confident about this.

To recruit a son-in-law, how could it be just those jobs on the surface?

If a person is stingy to the guide, the Zou family will definitely think that this person is not very good. And Ling Xiao's shot is a kyanite, such a generous shot, probably few people can compare with him.

First impressions are very important, this is why Ling Xiao is using this spar to create his first impression, Ling Xiao thinks it is worth it.

It didn't matter what Ling Xiao's shot was, it took the big man a long time to recover, and said, "Young master... what do you want to know?"

After taking Ling Xiao's spar, this guy immediately changed from a tiger to a kitten.

Ling Xiao chuckled: "Why is everyone in this city surnamed Zou?"

"That's it... This city was originally a barren land. Because the climate here is suitable for forging, the Zou family moved the entire clan here, so all the earliest residents of this city were named Zou." The big man was very proud With a straight chest: "According to legend, my ancestor and the ancestor of the current head of the Zou family are still brothers."

Ling Xiao smiled casually: "So the forge workshop and magic treasure workshop in this city are called Zou Ji, and they are indeed authentic enough, haha."

"Hey..." The big man also echoed Ling Xiao with a smile: "The real forging masters are naturally in the Zou family, but our forging skills are not bad. For treasures below the green level, we ask ourselves that the craftsmanship will not be better than the current ones. The Zou family is poor."

With this sentence, Ling Xiao believes that a large part of the people who come and go to trade here are low-level chain soul masters. Without these "authentic Zou Ji", the Zou family probably can't cope.

As long as the Zou family masters the forging method of the real treasure, it is actually nothing to hand over these small businesses to the former Zoucheng people of the same clan.

Obviously, that's what the Zou family did. It can be seen that the head of the Zou family should be a sensible person. Making a fortune without forgetting the family members will only make the family stronger and stronger.

I am still very curious about blacksmith Ling Xiao. He is a pharmacist himself, and his work is far from that of a blacksmith: "What kind of treasure can you forge? By the way, what's your name?"

The big man stretched out his muscular chest muscles triumphantly: "My name is Zou Tiezhu (the name is so sweaty~-~), if I can have a forging map, I can forge any kind of treasure!"

The five devil brothers behind Ling Xiao couldn't help humming twice, and they despised this guy for bragging and not drafting.

It's just that Ling Xiao didn't speak, and it wasn't the five of them' turn to express their opinions.

Yu'er's beautiful face is still expressionless, all this has nothing to do with her, she just needs to follow the master.

Ling Xiao didn't think that this guy was eating a cow at all, and asked with great interest: "What is a forging map?"

As soon as the big man Zou Tiezhu was asked about his profession, his eyes immediately lit up: "It's about how to refine treasures or the materials and techniques needed for forging weapons."

The Five Demon Brothers couldn't help but despise Zou Tiezhu again. If it's written clearly on the map, why do you need a blacksmith?

Knowing that Ling Xiao and the others are laymen, Zou Tiezhu explained: "Even if there is a forging map, not all blacksmiths can forge treasures. The blacksmith's skills, experience, and own strength are very important. A good treasure may become a waste product in the slightest link."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, forging and refining medicine seem to have some similarities in some aspects. Seeing that Zou Tiezhu spoke so professionally, Ling Xiao even believed that this guy was a piece of unpolished high-quality jade.

"I want you to be my personal blacksmith, would you like it?" Ling Xiao's request not only frightened the five devil brothers, but also frightened Zou Tiezhu: "What... what... what? You want to hire me?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "No, it's not hiring, it's buying you."

Zou Tiezhu shook his head and said seriously: "No, you can't afford the price."

The Five Demon Brothers finally despised Zou Tiezhu once. They don't know if other people can afford Zou Tiezhu, but Ling Xiao, the rich man, can't afford it?

Ling Xiao was very interested, and said, "How many crystals do you want?"

There was a trace of pride on Zou Tiezhu's face: "Our ancestors have a rule that if someone wants to buy our craftsmanship, no amount of crystals will be sold, but as long as there is a purple-level forging map."

Ling Xiao understands this requirement very well. For these guys who regard forging as their life, what they want is not a lot of crystals, but the most challenging forging map.

Ling Xiao searched her soul chain for a long time with mental strength, but she couldn't find a forging map, so she couldn't help shrugging her shoulders helplessly: "I really don't have what you want right now, how about it?" , where do you live, I will find you after I have the map."

Seeing the sincerity of this young gentleman, Zou Tiezhu pointed to the east side: "The sixth building in Jingtian Lane is my home. If you have a map, you can come to me. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. My mother is still waiting for me." go home."

"Go." Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and waved Zou Tiezhu to leave.

Afterwards, Ling Xiao took out a jade slip, and printed the words "Send me a purple-level forging map" on it with her mental strength, and then squeezed it lightly, and the message was transmitted as the jade slip was broken. go out.

The five devil brothers now finally understand that Ling Xiao is serious. Although they don't understand why Ling Xiao bought this big man, they know that Ling Xiao has always had a unique vision.

Just after sending the message, Ling Xiao was about to find a place to live, when she suddenly heard a strange voice: "Oh, this girl is so beautiful!"

Ling Xiao didn't need to look in that direction to know that Yu'er's beauty had attracted some blind bees and butterflies.

A dozen or so guys surrounded Ling Xiao and his group. The leading young man looks pretty good, with thin skin and tender flesh, but the pair of lustful eyes sweeping around the key parts of Yu'er, looks very annoying.

This guy is called Zou Quan, a collateral relative of the old butler of the Zou family, relying on his distant uncle's status, he is here to bully the low-level and background chain soul master.

Zou Quan was quite careful. Before he came up, he had already confirmed that the guy in front of him was not a disciple of a famous sect, because those disciples had invitation cards, so everyone in the Zou family would recognize them by their looks.

As for the others who came to join in the fun, it would be really useless for him not to bully Zou Quan. Especially Ling Xiao and the others, except for Ling Xiao who was at the orange level, the five followers behind him were all at the red level, and that white and tender girl was not even a chain soul master, she was obviously a bully master.

A cold light flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes: "Before I kill someone, get lost!"

Zou Quan was startled and shivered, then felt something was wrong, why was he frightened by this guy? There are ten yellow-level bodyguards behind him, what are he afraid of doing?

Thinking of this, Zou Quan immediately shouted: "These guys are robbing the girl, you kill them for me, and rescue this girl!"

There is no need for Zou Quan to speak so righteously, the entire Zoucheng ordinary people know who he is. Isn't it just that you want to rob people's daughters by force? Why are you making such shameless excuses? Are stinky flies still afraid of feces?

"Looking for death!" Seeing the other party's ten bodyguards rushing over at the same time, and the first move was a killer move, Ling Xiao would not hold back.

Bang bang... After applying berserk, Ling Xiao's fist strength was comparable to that of a green-level punch. With a few simple punches, Ling Xiao sent the ten bodyguards of the opponent flying away.

Zou Quan saw that his bodyguard was blown away with just one punch, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. His face turned pale with fright, and his legs shook so much that he couldn't even run.

Ling Xiao knew that such dandy children are most likely to be powerful, or like Long Tao's younger brother, they are useless waste in the family, so if they are killed, they will be killed without any scruples.

"Die!" Unceremoniously, Ling Xiao punched Zou Quan's head straight.

"Mother!" Zou Quan thought that he was going to die, so he closed his eyes in fright. Unexpectedly, he heard a bang, and subconsciously opened his eyes to see that a tall and straight figure stood in front of him, saving his life for him.

"You have already killed ten of his bodyguards, why do you still want to kill them all?" Ling Xiao was blocked by a young man in a light blue brocade suit with a square face. His face was upright, and his thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Ling Xiao's behavior.

Ling Xiao withdrew her fist, glanced at the guy who prevented her from killing, and said coldly, "Your Excellency, what is your name?"
