#133 - Chapter 133 Heavy Iron

To encounter such bad luck just from looking at a house, Cheng Feng quickened his pace and returned directly to his mansion.

He immediately called for Zheng Ya to keep him company.

Although daytime intimacy was not ideal, Cheng Feng felt unhappy and couldn't vent his anger on others, so he had to call his woman to work hard with him and earn Fortune Points.

Name: Cheng Feng

Lifespan: 17 (80)

Talent: Many Sons, Many Blessings

Skills: Fishing (Mastery 90/100)

Archery (Entry 12/100)

Basic Swordsmanship (Grandmaster 10/200)

Thunderclap Bloodsurge Art (Mid-stage 320/500)

Gale Swordplay: (Entry 0/200)

Thunderclap Swordplay: (Entry 0/200)

Mountain Shattering Fist: (Mastery 33/200)

Fortune Points: 2

Fortune Bags: 0

Looking at his stats, especially the two sword techniques where Cheng Feng was still stagnating, he felt a pang of heartache.

But given his aptitude and the limited ways to acquire Fortune Points,

Cheng Feng could only prioritize adding all his Fortune Points to the Thunderclap Bloodsurge Art to improve his cultivation realm, since he already had the masterful Mountain Shattering Fist for combat.

Moreover, he had the Ghost Doctor's Book and the Spirit Formula Dao Mystic Compendium inheritance, along with the Needle Yama Technique and the Chaos Void Steps, these manuals scavenged from Nie Yuan's crypt, but hadn't even reached entry level.

Cheng Feng decided that while accumulating enough Fortune Points for upgrades, he would first get these manuals to the entry level.

In addition, Cheng Feng's blade also needed an upgrade.

His Basic Swordsmanship was at least at the Grandmaster level, and it was precisely because of reaching the Grandmaster level that he had gained entry into those two sword techniques. Cheng Feng couldn't yet confirm the relationship between them, but he felt that Basic Swordsmanship was very important and couldn't be neglected.

Holding the supple Zheng Ya, Cheng Feng pondered his next arrangements.

The Hong Sect had basically gotten on the right track. The protection fees, venue fees, brothels, casinos, and transportation commissions yielded about two hundred taels of silver per month. After deducting the one hundred and seventy taels for personnel expenses, there was a surplus of thirty taels. However, he still needed to recruit experts to prepare for future needs. He needed to look for more.

Cheng Feng had directly made fifty catties of fine salt, selling ten catties three times a month, which he could maintain. Six hundred taels a month was not a problem.

The tavern was still the same, but Cheng Feng had already started planning to open branch taverns.

The profit sharing from one tavern was about twenty taels.

Cheng Feng decided to bring in the Martial Hall, so that everyone would tacitly assume that the tavern was an industry of the Iron Mountain Martial Hall, it wouldn't earn much money, but at least it would be safe.

Cheng Feng hadn't seen the lovely Mei Niang for a long time, and wondered if she was still missing him.

Zheng Ya, seeing that Cheng Feng still seemed somewhat unsatisfied, leaned her voluptuous body against him and said coquettishly, "Master, this servant still wants…"

Cheng Feng, still having energy to spare, naturally wouldn't waste the beauty's kindness. After all, the women were still shy, and Cheng Feng hadn't achieved achievements like sleeping together on a large bed because he had been busy recently.

But when dominating a beauty, Cheng Feng had never admitted defeat, especially after injecting the Super Serum, Cheng Feng's energy was unimaginably vigorous. He was only afraid that the women couldn't handle it, so he didn't fully display his strength.

Obviously, the charming Zheng Ya had forgotten the previous lesson, and once again, in the midst of passion, she was lost and deeply infatuated, unable to extricate herself.

After subduing the voluptuous Zheng Ya, Cheng Feng had some matters he wanted to ask Wang Tieshan, his master, at the Martial Hall.

Old Wang was very good to him, especially after roughly understanding his talent, the self-justifying talent of being difficult at first but easy later was right on Cheng Feng's mark.

Arriving at the Martial Hall, seeing the third brother diligently practicing martial arts, Cheng Feng was very gratified. After working hard for so long, he could finally see his family members having the right to choose and living better and better.

The third brother's talent was okay. With a bit of effort and the assistance of medicinal herbs, Body Tempering should be no problem. Injecting a Super Serum, Bone Forging should also be possible.

This was why Cheng Feng was optimistic about the third brother.

After greeting Qian Ming, he went directly towards the backyard.

Cheng Lei, watching his second brother's back in the distance, practiced martial arts even more vigorously.

With the flesh and blood of the Redscale Serpent, Cheng Lei was already a Body Strengthening initial stage martial artist.

Everyone knew about this, but no one knew that Cheng Feng had later secretly found opportunities to send snake meat twice, which led to Cheng Lei's progress being so fast.

The women at home were all very sensible, keeping the snake meat for Cheng Feng to instruct them on how to process.

At that time, Cheng Feng was relatively busy, so he put it aside. Now that Xu Miao had joined, this snake meat should quickly be transformed into strength.

Arriving at the Martial Hall's backyard, the eldest sister was also talking to Wang Tieshan about something.

Seeing Cheng Feng come, they stopped talking.

Cheng Feng greeted the eldest sister, Zhao Wei, and the thought of being with Xu Miao flashed through his mind again. Would he gain more Fortune Points by having intimacy with female martial artists with high strength?

He quickly suppressed these distracting thoughts, greeted his master Wang Tieshan,

Wang Tieshan looked at this troublesome closed-door disciple with a smile.

His breath was long and his gaze was firm. His Body Tempering realm had improved again!

"What wind blew you, my closed-door disciple, here? You haven't come to see me in a long time," Wang Tieshan said with a smile.

Cheng Feng respectfully said, "Recently, my strength has improved somewhat. I dared to come and report the good news to my master after it had stabilized."

Zhao Wei was stunned. Wasn't he just at the initial stage of Body Tempering a few months ago?

He had improved so quickly?

Then she heard Cheng Feng say, "I broke through a small realm, making my master laugh." Wang Tieshan was also stunned. He could roughly tell that there was progress, but he didn't expect it to be a direct breakthrough of a small Body Tempering realm!

Before he could ask, Cheng Feng said again, "After breaking through the realm, a strange thing happened. This disciple feels that his strength has greatly increased, and the blade I used before feels too light. This disciple came this time to ask Master, what should I do each time I feel that the blade can't keep up with my strength? Could it be that I have to change the blade every time?"

Wang Tieshan stroked his beard, showing great interest in the question raised by Cheng Feng.

An increase in the Body Tempering realm generally wouldn't cause a mismatch between weapon and strength, but Wang Tieshan was experienced and knew that the path of cultivation was ever-changing, and various situations could occur.

"The situation you mentioned is indeed rare, but it's not unprecedented," Wang Tieshan slowly said, his voice filled with calmness and wisdom. "Generally speaking, when a martial artist feels that their weapon is too light and their strength cannot be fully utilized, they can indeed enhance the weapon's weight by adding a material called Heavy Iron, making it more suitable for their strength."

He paused and continued to explain, "Heavy Iron is a particularly rare ore. It can not only increase the weight of the weapon, but also improve its toughness and hardness. When adding Heavy Iron, it is necessary to calculate precisely based on the material of the weapon and one's own strength to ensure that the weapon does not lose its original flexibility while increasing its weight."

"Heavy Iron is rare. This teacher happens to have a piece. You can find a highly skilled craftsman to melt it into your weapon. When you entered, I didn't give you anything good. Take this Heavy Iron as a congratulatory gift from me!" Wang Tieshan solved the problem that had troubled Cheng Feng for several months in a few words.

It wasn't that Cheng Feng hadn't asked blacksmiths, but they all suggested simply forging a new one.?

Cheng Feng saw through the blacksmiths' intention to make a profit at a glance. Cheng Feng was distressed about the silver at the time, so he didn't agree and wanted to return to the Martial Hall to see if his master had any good suggestions.

It turned out that he could get a piece of Heavy Iron for free?

After thanking his master, Cheng Feng rushed straight to the accounting office.
