As he returned to the Cai Family mansion, Jia Hao spent his days in leisure. Old Yang brought him so of the sample weapons used by the soldiers.
' These are simply made from pig iron. So hard and brittle. The grains inside are also very uneven.' Jia Hao inspected the items.
However, as these weapons were mass produced for the war, quantity is more appreciated than quality.
Besides, the quality of the iron was poor. Because, most of the ti, the scrapped weapons and armor collected from the battlefield and lted directly.
After separating the impurities, the remaining material is used to make more weapons.
However, after such tempering in fla, the recycled sword becos more brittle, impacting its performance.
But when he checked the sword, Old Yang was surprised.
" Old Yang, Why your sword is almost three tis better than these ordinary swords?"
" Because it's made by a renowned blacksmith with Millenium Yin Iron. anwhile, these swords are made of simple cold iron." Old Yang explained.
' Ah, How could I forget? Yunlan continent is filled with magical herbs and treasure ores. I can't use my modern world logic here."
" Then how does this Millenium Yin Iron is made?"
" It's condensed from the Cold Iron and can naturally extracted in the deepest parts of old mines. It can be created with ordinary cold iron too, but the process is too lengthy and takes a month to build weapons with it."
" There are various sects and families who build special weapons. However, those weapons range from few tens of thousand taels of gold to a million taels of gold."
" anwhile, the ordinary sword can be bought with a hundred taels of gold or less."
" Cai Family forges mostly smaller things, like knives and farming tools. We also produce weapons, but they were sent to the Imperial Army."
" Wait a minute." Jia Hao's eyes sparkled. " You an, If the Cold Iron ore refined quickly, we can use its essence to make Millenium Yin Iron?"
" Uhh, Technically, Yes?" Old Yang nodded.
" However, that's pretty difficult to do. Besides, slting and tempering the billet also requires a lot of skilled people. A single weapon might take an entire day to be built."
" You don't need to worry about that, Old Yang." Jia Hao grinned as he thought of an interesting thod.
' If this succeeds, I would be able to manufacture enough weapons for the Cai Family.'
In the evening, good news ca from the Fragrant dicine Pavilion.
Since Jia Hao asked Pharmacist Mo to prepare the antidote days ago, the treatnt was very efficient. In the evening, Sang Qian's body completely expelled all the poison.
He could feel the strength returning to his body as he could now move his internal qi without any pain.
As Jia Hao was enjoying Minmin's massage while sitting on the chair, Sang Qiuliu arrived before Jia Hao.
" Greeting, Young Lord Jia. I hope I am not disturbing you?"
" Not at all." Jia Hao chuckled. " For beauties, my door is always open. Ouch!"
Minmin glared at Jia Hao when she heard Jia Hao's cheeky statent. ' How dare he complint another woman in this household?'
Sang Qiuliu giggled lightly as she looked at Jia Hao. " I never expected Fragrant dicine Pavilion would be efficient. As part of my deal, I have brought a comprehensive map of Wolves Fountain."
" This map is different from the ones out in public. I have also marked various monster territories and locations of various herbs and natural treasures."
" Thank you for your effort, Miss Sang. I shall be grateful to you." Jia Hao smiled politely.
" No, no…Please, don't make embarrassed." Sang Qiuliu shook her head. " I am simply doing what a filial daughter should do."
" So, What's about Lei Qinzhu?" Jia Hao asked with a curious voice. Hearing that na, Snag Qiuliu's face turned stiff.
However, she sighed and decided to disclose the matter. " Yes, It's very much possible that Lei Qinzhu poisoned my father. And, Elder Lei knew about this matter."
" I have notified Father and he asked to remain calm for now." She gritted her teeth as her fingers clutched the sword on her waist.
" Just waiting till my father recovers. And after that, Elder Lei shall be punished according to our dojo rules."
" However, I am still unsure about a matter." Sang Qiuliu frowned. " Why did Lei Qinzhu vanish at the crucial mont? I know him, and he is a much petty individual."
" So, What could have happened to him?"
" Maybe, a benefactor of yours took care of him?" Jia Hao gave a mysterious smile, making Sang Qiuliu startled.
" You an…"
" I don't an anything. Just a hypothesis."
Sang Qiuliu pursed her lips when she heard the nonchalant reply of Jia Hao. Seeing he wasn't going to elaborate, Sang Qiuliu didn't inquire further.
" Very well, I shall owe one to that mysterious benefactor."
" Miss Sang, May I put a commission?" Jia Hao looked at her.
" Sure, What is it?"
" We got information that deep within the Wolven Fountain, there is a Bright Snow Lotus. As you know, It's a rare dicinal herb with wonderful effects. So, I wonder if you can arrange for soone to guide my friends there?"
" Of course, I will do it. And, I will do it for free."
" For free? That's not good, Miss Sang."
" Oh please, Young Lord Jia, I can at least do it for you." Sang Qiuliu laughed lightly. " Are you also coming?"
" I am thinking about it." Jia Hao nodded.
Sang Qiuliu turned around to leave. " Then leave everything on . We shall go two days later."
Jia Hao smacked his lips when he looked at the back of Sang Qiuliu. She was truly a martial artist, with her muscles sculpted more than Cai Lingzhi.
" OUCH! MINMIN!"
Jia Hao winched in pain as he felt a pinch on his waist. Minmin stood beside her with a passive aggressive smile.
" Young Lord, Don't you think a married man should restrain himself?"
Rubbing his waist, Jia Hao chuckled. " All depends on circumstances. If the wife of the man allows, then why there is a need for restraint?"
" But, Can't you be faithful to Young Miss?" Minmin quipped.
" Who said I am not?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " Mind your words, Minmin. If Cai Yixue wasn't my wife, Why would I have helped the Cai Family?"
Minmin beca silent as she realized that she might have said a bit too much. " I apologize, Young Lord. I didn't an that…"
" But you said that." Jia Hao gave an evil grin. " Therefore, You need punishnt."
" Punishnt?" Minmin took a step back when she saw the smile of Jia Hao.
However, Jia Hao's hands were faster as he gave two crispy spanks on Minmin's perky butt.
*PAA! PAA!*
" Ahn!~"
Minmin's face turned red as she hopped back like a rabbit. Rubbing her aching buttcheeks, she couldn't help but glare at Jia Hao with a teary gaze.
" Yo-You! Shaless! Pervert!"
Jia Hao laughed loudly, but his slaughter froze as he saw Cai Yixue standing in the distance, looking at everything unfolding before her eyes.
" Uhm, Wife…I can explain…" Jia Hao tried to say sothing, but Cai Yixue just gave a disappointed shake of the head and walked away.
" Hmph! You deserved it!" Minmin couldn't help but gloat at Jia Hao's plight. However, when Jia Hao looked at her again, she walked back several steps.
" It looks like I need to teach the maid so lessons."
" Wahhh! Son in Law is bullying !"

Later that night, Old Yang appeared before Jia Hao and cupped his fist.
" Young Lord, As you asked, Ten crates full of iron ingots are prepared."
" But, Young Lord, May I know what are you going to do with all this iron?"
Jia Hao laughed when he heard that. " Well, I also wonder. I have a plan my mind. But I need to see if it's working or not."
" Since you have delivered the items, you can go now."
" But Patriarch wishes to et you…"
" Nope, Tell him I am tired to today and wish to rest. Besides, I need to go out tomorrow. " Jia Hao made an excuse. He doesn't want more work dumped on him.
As Old Yang left, Jia Hao stored all the crates in his Pot of Miracle and went to sleep.
' Let's see if it's working or not.'
Jia Hao put various herbs along with the crates, hoping to see the result of the deconstruction.
He stayed here for over three days in Yunlan Continent. So more than half a day passed in Azure Sea World.
Opening his eyes, he realized 300 Chaos Points were completely spent.
The original pile of ten crates worth of iron ingots were reduced by sixty percent, leaving a lustrous pile of dark iron.
