Castle of Black Iron

"Treasures Complex is like a high-profile super large shopping mall. Nominally, the Medicinal Powder Pavilion sells medicinal powders during the period of Treasures Meeting. Those who could come to Treasures Complex are all knights or from major clans. Therefore, the medicinal powders here are much more advanced than those outside. In my memory, someone once sold a silver secret item-level medicinal powder in the Medicinal Powder Pavilion of Treasures Complex in a Treasures Meeting..."

Mountain Lifting Hermit was much more talkative than before. He might be too thrilled after meeting Zhang Tie once again or finally found a good confidant. After entering the Treasures Complex, Mountain Lifting Hermit simply became a kind-hearted guide. He would explain it to Zhang Tie as long as he paid attention to something.

Like what Donder told him before. In this world, actually few people were born to be short-spoken. Most of the people who looked short-spoken had not met that one whom could make them open their mouth without any concern. When a person talked about the industries that he was interested in or when he was completely relaxed, he might be talkative. Zhang Tie felt that Mountain Lifting Hermit might be such a person.

To be honest, Mountain Lifting Hermit was a kind-hearted lovely old man. Although so many years had passed, Mountain Lifting Hermit still kept it in mind that Zhang Tie had saved his life in the hieron’s ruins. When Mountain Lifting Hermit encountered Zhang Tie; especially after the communication with Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian in the Heavens Seal Hotel, in which process Zhang Tie exposed his secret to Mountain Lifting Hermit and Mountain Lifting Hermit determined to join Iron-Dragon Sect, the two people’s relationship became closer. Therefore, after coming to the Treasures Complex, Mountain Lifting Hermit couldn’t stand to be talkative.

Of course, the layout inside the Medicinal Powder Pavilion couldn’t be matched by common places outside. Even though Zhang Tie didn’t know about buildings, he could also feel that everything inside and outside this Medicinal Powder Pavilion was made by masters. Although Zhang Tie knew that this Medicinal Powder Pavilion was just a senior shopping mall, he still couldn’t help exploring the rockeries, brooks, flowers, grasses and trees here. Those medicinal powders in the stores aroused his interest in exploring treasures inexhaustibly.

Zhang Tie could sniff faint, special fragrance of medicinal powders and medicaments from so many open booths here.

Although Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and Mountain Lifting Hermit followed Elder Gulas and that old wild bear here, Zhang Tie still pretended to look at the other stalls first. He even bought some vials of rare super recovery medicament, longlasting night-viewing medicament and an item called vigor pill before coming to the stall of Gulas and Dali on the 2nd floor slowly.

As all the medicinal powders and medicaments here were priced by element crystals, those vials of medicaments and pills cost Zhang Tie more than 60 earth-elements crystals.

Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian didn’t know what Zhang Tie was thinking about. After taking a round here for a short while, they also gained something.

Bai Suxian was very interested in those stalls. In her eyes, those people who sold medicaments and pills here were not for money, but for entertainment like how children played games.

"If only we could also produce some medicaments and sell them here!" Bai Suxian said with flickering eyes.

"Why?" Zhang Tie asked.

"Don’t you feel it’s very interesting and entertaining here?" Bai Suxian asked while blinking her eyes.

’Interesting?’ Zhang Tie revealed a faint, bitter smile before shaking his head. This was the difference between a youth who grew up in Blackhot City and a princess of a lord in Taixia Country. When Zhang Tie saw these stalls, he would think about the profits of these medicaments and the great power and organizing ability that were required to gather these resources. However, Bai Suxian only felt that it was interesting. Whereas, it was not Bai Suxian’s fault. The living environments between Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were greatly different from each other. Gradually, they would have different opinions about the same affair. Bai Suxian had never been worried about gold coins since she was young; as for Bai Suxian, money was like fresh air that could be freely supplied; how could she understand the world outlook of a person who grudged eating a bowl of rice brew in order to save a few copper coins for his family?

The fruit of plunder that he gifted his elder brother previously could enable him to be a pharmacist, not to mention producing medicament. However, only some of his elder brother’s medicaments could be sold here. Because the medicaments and pills that were sold here were basically produced by pharmacists above green robe. Additionally, the medicaments here were not cheap. It would be simple if they were priced in gold coins; however, these medicaments were priced in element crystals. No knight would ever complain about having too many element crystals; even Zhang Tie was not qualified to be a magnate here.

"If Iron-Dragon Sect wants to develop, we have to have a high-level pharmacist!" Mountain Lifting Hermit looked at these medicaments with a solemn look as he provided a sincere suggestion to Zhang Tie as a grand elder of Iron-Dragon Sect, "Besides pharmacist, other senior professionals such as rune instruments master are also necessary for a sect to become outstanding. Although we have to pay or exchange for many things, if a sect was not able to train various professionals and talents, it would face a limit in development!"

"Hmm, I see. As we’ve just established the Iron-Dragon Sect, we have to do it step by step. I believe that we will have these talents in the future!" Zhang Tie said confidently as he nodded.

After sensing Zhang Tie’s confidence, Mountain Lifting threw a profound glance at Zhang Tie silently. Of course, Mountain Lifting Hermit treated Zhang Tie’s confidence as a vigorous spirit of a young man. However, he didn’t know that Zhang Tie had the two unrivaled sharp weapons that could make Iron-Dragon Sect unprecedentedly bright. Super liquor and the bloody sacrifice furnace were both unique in Taixia Country. Super liquor could make Iron-Dragon Sect extremely rich and influential across Taixia Country; a bloody sacrifice furnace would be pursued by people in a queue. With the two sharp weapons in hand, he would never lack senior professionals. Watching these medicaments being priced in element crystals, Zhang Tie was even thinking about pricing the use of bloody sacrifice furnace in element crystals too.

’According to the level of the one who needs a bloody sacrifice, a demon or a bloody figure would cost them one element crystal; a demon knight would cost them at least 100 element crystals. Those who are on good terms with me could enjoy 20% off, hehehe...’

When Zhang Tie imagined the prospect of his sect, he revealed a smile. As long as those who needed a bloody sacrifice felt that it was worthwhile, the price would not be determined by him. The bloody sacrifice furnace could even help knights recover their chakra through the bloody sacrifice, who else across Taixia Country could have such a treasure?

Zhang Tie even felt that he had not fully tapped the functions of bloody sacrifice furnace in the Earth-elements Realm. Now that bloody sacrifice furnace was effective to knights, would it be effective to those common fighters below knight level who didn’t need to recover their wounds or breakthrough their bottlenecks? Evidently, it was impossible. In the final analysis, the effect of bloody sacrifice was a transfer of life energy, which would not disappear out of any reason. As long as one received the energy from the demon or a bloody figure through the bloody sacrifice, he would change for sure; unless that one was dead, who couldn’t bear the blessing and baptism of this life energy.

When in the hieron’s ruins, Zhang Tie had not imagined about the effect of bloody sacrifice furnace for common fighters. After coming back this time, Zhang Tie would like to test the effect of bloody sacrifice for fighters below knight level. If he didn’t know all the effects of his trump card, it would be a laughingstock.

The 3 people just wandered leisurely and soon came to the front of the stall of Elder Gulas and old wild bear Dali.

Gulas and Dali didn’t hawk. Knights were evidently different than pedlars in this scene. Actually, these stalls in the Medicinal Powder Pavilion could be completely managed by the professional stewards of Treasures Complex. As the owner of these medicaments and pills, as long as they fixed the prices of these medicaments and pills in advance and paid for the commission, they would set themselves free from the counters. Zhang Tie found that only a few knights or senior pharmacists were standing behind counters. Those knights and senior pharmacists who stood behind the counters expected to exchange their medicaments and pills for some rare element crystals or had other purposes such as exchanging their goods for some items so as to meet some condition or establish a long-term trade and cooperation relationship.

From a perspective, each session of Treasures Meeting served as a venue for human knights and senior professionals to cooperate with each other. After each session of Treasures Meeting, the relationship between major clans, countries and sects which had knights and senior professionals across the continents would change to a certain degree, which contained opportunities and surging dark forces...

At the sight of the brilliance in the eyes of Gulas and Dali and the facial expressions of the two old guys after they exchanged a glance with each other, Zhang Tie knew that Gulas and Dali probably came here for establishing a relationship with people on behalf of Ice and Snow Wilderness or the Sacred Iceland Kingdom...
