The carriage slowly drove away, but did not return to the mountain, but drove into the weapon forging shop.

Liu Zheng had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the carriage, he took the reins skillfully and drove straight into the backyard. Wang Peiyao got on the carriage carrying various account books and reported.

The weapon forging shop had already been on the right track, and although it had to expand once more later, the profits were still considerable, but Li Yuan just took a casual look at it.

After the Military Control Scroll was promoted to the ninth level, the gold and silver on him were almost used up, but the surplus of 1,800 taels of gold was of no use to him.

"Recruit more shoemakers. As for the weapon forging shop, there is no need to expand it for the time being."

Li Yuan flipped through it casually and put it down. The biggest function of the weapon forge for him now was to forge the various standard items he needed.

"I have visited the best craftsmen in the city one by one, but these masters are well paid in their original shops, so not many are willing to move."

Wang Peiyao was talking about what had happened recently, but actually there wasn’t much.

Ever since Li Yuanjin became the true disciple, the business of the weapon forging shop has been getting smoother day by day. Whether it is purchasing, expansion, recruiting or other things, there has been no difficulty at all.

Miss Wang sometimes sighed in her heart that in the business of personal connections, even if she put a dog in it, it could be successful.

"There's no need to force it. Forcing someone to dig you out might offend them. Just cooperate. Money is not a problem."

Master Li Dao looked like a wealthy man, although he did not have much gold and silver on him, but with his current status, this was indeed not a problem.

The true teachings of Longhu Temple and the treatment of the Taoist disciples of Dalongmen include mines, horse farms, shops, mansions and the like, but they are still being allocated.

"Brother Li is becoming more and more generous."

Wang Peiyao covered her mouth and chuckled, feeling a little emotional in her heart.

Less than ten years have passed since Gao Liu. The apprentice in the weapon forging shop who sat like a minion at the small banquet that day has now become the world-famous Taoist of Dalongmen.

"As a true disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Temple, you can't always be petty, right?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, when you have no money, you exchange time for money, but when you have money, efficiency naturally comes first.

With his current status and position, if he insists on poaching people, no company would dare to refuse, but why bother?
Hengshan City's prosperity is complicated. Every business has its own backers. They are either inner disciples or true disciples. Later on, they are either hall masters or elders...

"You are the master, you have the final say."

Wang Peiyao smiled and took out an account book from her bosom:

"If the superior likes something, the subordinates will certainly give in. The news that Master Li likes the bones, blood and skins of spiritual beasts has spread. In just one month, more than 20 companies have expressed that they have extra spiritual beast skins and are willing to do business with us..."

"Oh?"

Li Yuan took it and flipped it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

There are about twenty families, not too many, but each family asks for more than three hundred spirit beast skins. Adding them together, I'm afraid the number is close to the batch in Nie Ying's hands.

"Did you pick it up?"

Li Yuan made a calculation in his mind. If all seven thousand spirit beast skins were made into spirit beast boots, even if half of them were lost, there would still be at least four thousand pairs.

Even if the boots he made were not of the highest grade, they were enough for him to make two pairs of seventh-grade boots!
"Eleven of them wanted to make friends with you, but I accepted their invitations. As for the remaining dozen, I invited you to a banquet, either openly or covertly. I accepted their invitations and did not explicitly refuse them."

Wang Peiyao already had experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so he immediately pointed out which families wanted to invite him, and introduced the businesses these families were doing, as well as the people behind them.

There are many familiar names among them, such as "Shan Qingsong", "Fang Qinhu", "Xin Wenhua", etc. They are either true disciples or elders.

“These companies have all accepted it.”

Li Yuan didn't make much of a choice. To him, it didn't matter what these families were thinking.

When it comes to backing, who in Hengshan City can be bigger than him?

Master Li doesn't use his power to pressure others, but whoever dares to pressure him...

"Got it."

Wang Peiyao knew what was going on. She lifted the car curtain and arrived at the backyard.

Before he even got close, Li Yuan noticed the light of incense. At a glance, he saw hundreds of incense burners of various sizes piled up in the backyard.

The original backyard has been expanded several times.

"This is?"

Without waiting for Li Yuan to ask, Liu Zheng spoke with a subtle expression.

In the past two years, he had bought many incense burners and traded old ones for new ones, but the private temples in the city were not easy to deal with, so he actually bought very few.

Until the Yuanba Ranking spread...

"A gift from someone else."

"Good man."

Li Yuan's expression was a little subtle.

As his fame grew, more and more 'good people' surrounded him.

Spiritual animal skins, incense burners, iron materials, gold and silver, houses, beauties... everything you want or don't want seems to be within your reach.

'The cost-effectiveness of practicing martial arts is too high.'

Li Yuan muttered to himself, he naturally knew the reason.

"Do you want to go back?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"let's talk tomorrow."

To send it back, we have to rub the incense first. Li Yuan got off the carriage. He had to say that he liked the sugar coating very much. It saved him a lot of time.

"Those batches of boots are in the warehouse."

Seeing Li Yuan playing with the alchemy furnace, Wang Peiyao tactfully said goodbye and pulled Liu Zheng along.

"There are more than thirty strands of incense above the fourth level."

Li Yuan did not count the incense sticks below the fourth level. He walked past the incense burners, collected the incense sticks, and counted them. "Leave some for the combined forces. It will be enough for the promotion of the Palm Sound Scroll..."

Li Yuan glanced outside the yard.

His warehouse was expanding again and again, with more and more weapons and iron materials inside, and naturally more guards. He took a quick glance and saw at least fifteen people, openly and secretly, all of whom were trusted "experts" recruited by Liu Zheng.

Well, everyone can kill the manager Cao Yan with a hammer.

"The best master in Gaoliu County can only look after the warehouse in Daocheng..."

With this thought in mind, Li Yuan pushed open the door and walked into the warehouse.

"Shh!"

As soon as Li Yuan concentrated his mind, a large amount of weapon light appeared before his eyes.

The warehouse was very large, and there were countless iron materials and weapons of various kinds. Li Yuan moved several piles, which were not conspicuous at first glance. Most of the weapons here were piled here to conceal their presence.

Over the past year, the weapon shop has made thousands of hammer weapons of various grades and not grades according to his instructions. He has also collected a large number of boots and bone ornaments, but they account for a very small proportion of the warehouse.

Moreover, he would collect some every time he went down the mountain to avoid piling them up into a small hill that would be too conspicuous.

"It's so pretty."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. The large flashing lights of weapons were pleasing to the eyes and made him intoxicated.

"I should be able to combine a pair of seventh-level boots, and there will be some left."

After putting the hammer soldiers and boots in the warehouse into the military space, Li Yuan walked out of the warehouse, closed the door, and returned to the house.

……

hum~
The gray stone platform flickered faintly, and a weapon-control talisman like a sea of ​​stars hung high above, with nine large stars shining brightly.

After the Weapon Control Scroll was promoted to the ninth level, the cooldown of the control change was further reduced, and the number of control combinations that could be matched also increased significantly. On the contrary, there were not enough high-level weapons.

Li Yuan took a glance and saw hammer soldiers, boots, and bone ornaments classified into different categories and piled up in different piles on the stone platform. There were already quite a lot of them.

He moved the incense burners that brought good luck over and began to gather his troops.

hum~
hum~~
The divine fire furnace flickered faintly.

The pile of hammers and boots soon ran out. The wealthy Master Li no longer cared about the loss of weapons below the third level. Soon, most of the weapons on the stone platform were upgraded to the fourth level.

"Eighty-three fourth-level hammer soldiers, thirty-three pairs of fourth-level boots, twenty-nine fourth-level bone ornaments, and the least number of belts, only sixteen..."

Li Yuan was counting and calculating.

He liked the feeling of combining a large number of weapons at once, which made him happy.

"If everything goes well, I can combine three seventh-level hammers, a pair of seventh-level boots, and a seventh-level bone ornament..."

When his weapon reached the fourth level, Li Yuan started to be cautious, as he was still short of incense of this level.

He first selected those with the same or similar control effects, and combined them one by one. His success rate was as high as 99%. The Divine Fire Combination Furnace flashed many times and only failed once.

"Bang~"

The combined furnace made a muffled sound and a cloud of black smoke came out.

"The control effect varies greatly, and the success rate is less than 50%."

After combining all the items to the sixth level, Li Yuan felt a little painful. He would never combine the incompatible sixth-level weapons any higher than that, no matter what.

"call!"

After calming down, Li Yuan continued to gather his troops.

Soon, with a humming sound, a faint golden light appeared in the weapon combining furnace. Li Yuan skillfully let out blood and activated his true energy. Soon, three seventh-order heavy hammers came out one after another.

The hammer he used to join the troops was made from the same blueprint, and had a high success rate.

【Long Kun Jun Tian Hammer (Level 7)】

A faint golden light flickered, and Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then he looked at it carefully.

The base material used for these three combined divine hammers is the same as the previous [Thunder Dragon Juntian Hammer (Seventh Level)], so they are naturally similar after being combined. The only difference lies in his true qi.

The control effect is still [Ten Thousand Pounds of Power] and [Hammer Talent], both of which are seventh level.

"There are nine seventh-level incense sticks left, and only four eighth-level incense sticks..."

There were still some sixth-level heavy hammers left, but Li Yuan didn't continue. He couldn't afford a 50% failure rate, and he couldn't afford to fail even once with the seventh or eighth-level incense.

"Come again!"

hum~
A wisp of pure golden incense floated down, the combined furnace trembled slightly, and the next moment, the three Dragon Kun Juntian Hammers were engulfed in flames.

After a moment, accompanied by a slight tremor, golden light appeared at the bottom of the furnace.

"It's done!"

Li Yuan felt relieved.

【Long Kun Jun Tian Hammer (Level 8)】

[…The commander of the army poured out his heart and soul, and the troops marched out with a slight spiritual power…]

[Control conditions: Control the bloodline of the main force]

[Control Effect: Level 8 (Gold): Hammer Talent, Force Like a Landslide

Level 6 (Pale Gold): Sea-Splitting Black Whale (Remnant)]

"Good luck."

After looking at it for a while, Li Yuan did not hesitate and struck while the iron was hot, pushing the three pairs of sixth-level boots into the Divine Fire Furnace, followed by the bone ornaments.
