Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

Damn it!

An hour ago, they entered Gengxin City from the other side.

Si Long's gaze lingered between Titan and Tang San for a moment, a tense silence filling the air.

Titan's eyes were like torches, fixed on Silong's face, as if trying to dig out the truth from every subtle expression.

Tang San stood to the side, his expression calm, but a barely perceptible hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

Without a tall building, how would he use his three hidden weapons?
Tang San was worried about how to make the Peacock Feather, Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, and Buddha's Wrath Lotus—these peerless hidden weapons. Although he had experience with them, he also needed to cultivate them.

We can't spend all our time on casting.

While Titan possessed sufficient technology, he alone was still insufficient. Moreover, he had to oversee the entire operation.

Titan released Si Long's arm, his face so dark it was almost dripping with gloom. Si Long rubbed his arm, which was now aching from being pinched, and inwardly groaned.

"Hmph! Ning Fengzhi certainly has some clever methods!"

Titan snorted coldly, turned to look at Tang San, his tone filled with obvious anger and resentment.

"Young Master, we miscalculated this time. We didn't expect Ning Fengzhi to beat us to it."

Tang San nodded slightly, his gaze calm and composed, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.

Seeing this, Silong cautiously took a step forward.

"Vice President, Young Master Tang, if you need to purchase rare metals, our Blacksmiths' Association can offer some assistance. I wonder..."

Titan waved his hand, interrupting Silong.

"No need, we have our own plans."

Tang San had already started planning how to utilize Lou Gao, the master craftsman, but now you're saying he's run away?
Si Long slowly withdrew his hand and bowed slightly: "In that case, I won't bother you any longer. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

"Wait a minute." Titan's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's.

"Vice President, is there anything else?" Si Long had just taken over as president of the Blacksmith Association, and there were still many things waiting for him to handle. He turned around, a hint of fatigue in his eyes, but he still maintained a polite smile.

Titan chuckled, pulled Silong over, and took out a list from his storage soul tool, handing it to him. He said, "That old man Lou Gao isn't here, but he doesn't care about anything except for forging anyway. You handle a lot of things in the association, right? So, see if you can get this list together. It's a large quantity, so a discount is possible, right?"

This time, Tang San's Tang Sect received no funding from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, nor did it receive help from the Yu Clan to establish the sect. Therefore, they had to save money wherever possible.

Silong took the order, his eyes quickly scanning the contents, his brows gradually furrowing.

He looked down and carefully examined the list, tapping the paper lightly with his fingers: "Vice President, the amount of materials you requested... is quite substantial."

Titan crossed his arms, a smug smile playing on his lips: "What? You're stumped?"

The first line reads: Iron Essence, five tons. Buying by the ton, it's estimated that only Gengxin City on the entire continent could produce the goods listed on this order.

There are also pure silver, tungsten steel, black iron, ebony, cold iron, refined gold, etc. If these things were used to make hidden weapons, the quantity would be enormous.
However, considering the current funds, Tang San decided to cut it in half.

There was no other way. Ning Fengzhi had given him a large sum of money, but that money had other uses. What would happen in the future if it was all used to buy metal?
Having a hard time?
His gaze swept back and forth across the paper, his lips moving slightly as if he were silently calculating something. Seeing this, Titan's smile faded, replaced by a hint of impatience.

He rested his elbows on the edge of the table, leaned forward slightly, and asked in a slightly urging tone, "Well? Can you give me a definite answer?"

Si Long raised his head, his gaze lingering between Titan and Tang San for a moment, then he sighed softly and shook his head: "Vice President, Young Master Tang San, the materials on this list... are indeed numerous. Especially iron essence and refined gold, the current inventory is probably insufficient. Even if I mobilize all resources, it will take quite some time to gather them all."

Upon hearing this, Titan's brows furrowed immediately. He slammed his fist heavily on the table, making a dull thud: "How could it not be enough?"

"Sect Leader Ning also bought a batch before he left," Si Long said weakly.

Titan's eyes narrowed sharply, his fist clenched tightly, his knuckles cracking. He strode closer to Si Long, his voice low and filled with suppressed rage: "What did you say? Ning Fengzhi also bought this batch of materials?"

Si Long took a half step back, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and explained in a low voice, "Yes, Vice President. Before leaving, Sect Master Ning purchased a large quantity of rare metals, including iron essence and refined gold. Our inventory was already limited, and now we really don't have much left."

Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in them, but he quickly regained his composure.

Although it's unclear whether Ning Fengzhi's plan was good or not, it certainly left Tang San somewhat at a loss.

At the start, the Tang Sect has nothing to show for it except for the empty title of being at the bottom of the four lower sects.

Have fun!
Titan's face was contorted with bulging veins, his teeth clenched, and his eyes blazed with fury. He slammed his fist into the anvil beside him, creating a deafening crash that dented the anvil: "Damn Ning Fengzhi!"

"Grandpa Titan, forget it." Tang San comforted him, "Senior Silong, let's just collect as much as we can from the list."

There's no other way but to take it slowly. On the way back, we'll see if other cities have anything on the list, and we'll try to collect as much as we can.

Titan frowned, remained silent for a moment, and ultimately did not retaliate. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, turned to look at Si Long, and softened his tone slightly: "Then let's do as the young master says, take whatever amount is available."

Si Long nodded quickly, a look of gratitude on his face: "Thank you for your understanding, Vice President. I will arrange for people to take stock of the materials in the inventory as soon as possible and prepare them for you."

After saying that, Si Long hurriedly left, his back view appearing somewhat rushed and even slightly disheveled. Titan watched the direction he left in, snorted coldly, and muttered under his breath, "That Ning Fengzhi guy really is always making things difficult for us."

Titan snorted coldly and turned to face Tang San.

"Young Master, it seems we have no choice but to find another way. With that old man Lou Gao not around, we need to readjust our plans."

Titan turned his head, his gaze dark as he looked toward the gate of the Blacksmiths' Guild, his lips pressed into a tight line.

"Never mind, Grandpa Titan, it's not like we absolutely have to have Senior Lou Gao. It's my fault, I didn't expect Ning Fengzhi to act so quickly!"

Tang San now understands how Ning Fengzhi earned the title of "the wisest man on the continent".

They really know how to seize opportunities! (End of Chapter)
