Chapter 15: Talking Business with Sect Master Tai Tan

Tian Dou City, Sect of Power (Li).

In the Hall of the Sect of Strength (Li), we can see an old man with a very sturdy body and very large body muscles sitting relaxed while enjoying the tea in front of him. The old man was the Sect Master of the Sect of Power (Li) namely Tai Tan or often called Titan.

At the same time, the Sect Hall's door opened and a member of the Sect immediately bowed respectfully to Tai Tan saying, "Sect Master, Sect Master Ning, and Venerable Sword Douluo would like to meet with you"

"Sect Master Ning and Old Sword? Why did they come here?" Tai Tan thought it was because he couldn't find any reason to make Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin visit them.

"Okay." Tai Tan immediately got up from his position and immediately walked out of the Aila Power Sect and walked towards the direction of the Strength Sect's entrance to welcome Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin's arrival.

In the front yard of the Strength Sect, Ning Fenzhi, Chen Xin, and Shirou who had been allowed in by the members of the Strength Sect were still waiting for Tai Tan's arrival. Due to the reputations of Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin, the moment they arrived in front of the Power Sect, they were immediately allowed to go inside to await Tai Tan's arrival. As for Shirou himself, because together with Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin were allowed to enter together.

From the direction of the entrance of the Strength Sect's Hall, there was the sound of a door opening and we could see an old man walking straight towards Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin as he said politely as he clenched his fists, "Welcome to our Strength Sect. Sect Master Ning, Old Sword " Tai Tan said with a smile.

"Thank you for the welcome, Sect Master Tai Tan." Ning Fenzhi also extended his greetings sincerely to Tai Tan.

Unlike Ning Fenzhi, Chen Xin only nodded in response to the greeting Tai Tan gave him.

Tai Tang immediately raised his head "If I may ask, what business does Sect Master Ning have to come to our Sect in person?" Tai Tan asked curiously as it was extremely rare for Ning Fenzhi to come here, normally Ning Fenzhi would only send a messenger like a Bone Douluo or Sword Douluo.

Ning Fenzhi shook his head and said, "Actually I don't have any business with Sect Master Tai Tan."

"Not Sect Master Ning?" Tai Tan asked confusedly as he looked towards Chen Xin, "Are you Old Sword?"

Chen Xin also shook his head and looked at Shirou as he said, "This little friend who wants to have business with you, Old Gorilla"

"Hmm~" Tai Tan immediately turned to look at Shirou who was beside Chen Xin, "Kid, do you have business with me?" Tai Tan asked while raising his eyebrows, as he was very surprised to find a boy who came along with Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin.

Shirou stepped forward while bowing respectfully as he politely said, "That's right Sect Master Tai Tan. Introduce my name is Shirou. Sect Master Tai Tan can call me Shirou or Xiao Shi. I came together with Uncle Ning and Grandfather Sword because there is a need with Sect Master Tai Tan"

"Uncle Ning? Sword Grandpa? Looks like this brat has a very good relationship to the point of calling Sect Master Ning and Old Sword by nicknames like that" Tai Tan thought.

Tai Tan himself who had become a Sect Master easily knew this. Moreover, it was rare for other people to call Ning Fenzhi as Uncle and Chen Xin as Grandpa. Only closely related people can call them that.

Tai Tan nodded and said back, "So, what business did you have to look for me?"

"I have previously heard information that Sect Master Tai Tan is a highly skilled blacksmith. I want to confirm first, is it possible that this information is true?"

Tai Tan nodded and said, "Right. But it's not only me who is good at blacksmithing, the entire Power Sect (Li) are people who are good at blacksmithing." The members of the Power Sect who heard Tai Tan's words nodded proudly as they raised their heads.

"I see" Shirou nodded and said back, "Since the information is true, I came looking for Sect Master Tai Tan because I wanted to ask Sect Master Tai Tan to make an item for me"

"Made tools?" Tai Tan asked in confusion.

Shirou immediately took out the design previously shown to Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin from his storage room under his clothes and handed the design to Tai Tan saying, "Sect Master Tai Tan, this is the item I would like to request to make."

Tai Tan immediately took the design and immediately opened it. When Tai Tan saw the design that Shirou gave him, Tai Tan's face immediately frowned and lowered the design as he looked at Shirou and said in an irritated tone, "Boy, do you want to ask me to make a Furnace?"

Shirou nodded and immediately said hastily upon hearing Tai Tan's irritated tone, "Sect Master Tai Tan don't be angry just yet. I am looking for Sect Master Tai Tan because only Sect Master Tai Tan can make me that Furnace. Try Sect Master Tai Tan to take a look at the materials I've written in the lower-left corner of the design. Sect Master Tai Tan will immediately understand what I saying."

"Fine" Even if Tai Tan was annoyed with Shirou's request for a Furnace to be made, he still gave a face to Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin who had come with Shirou. Tai Tan immediately picked up the design Shirou had given him and saw the words 15 ingredients in the lower-left corner of the design.

"This…" Tai Tan's face immediately showed surprise because it was true that the materials in the designs were all materials with a very high level of difficulty to cultivate. Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin who saw Tai Tan's shocked face became happy because they weren't the only ones who were embarrassed.

Tai Tan immediately lowered the design and looked back at Shirou as he said, "Boy, these materials you want are very step-by-step. Even for the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Clan, it is very difficult to find these materials."

Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin themselves were not angry with Tai Tan's words, as it was true that their Clan Seven Treasure Title Glazed Clan would find it very difficult to obtain the Furnace-making materials Shirou wanted.

"No problem with the matter of materials, Sect Master Tai Tan. I just wanted to ask, is it possible for Sect Master Tai Tan to make a Furnace with a combination of those 15 ingredients? If Sect Master Tai Tan can succeed, I will give the metal Cold Iron Heart" Shirou said casually as he looked towards Tai Tan.

"What?" Tai Tan was very surprised to hear Shirou's words and continued back, "Kid, are you serious?" Tai Tan asked seriously because he knew that obtaining the Cold Iron Heart metal was very difficult even for the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Clan. Hearing that Shirou had it, Tai Tan still couldn't believe it.

Shirou nodded and looked to the side while waving his hand. Suddenly a blue metal with a very cold temperature appeared beside Shirou. The temperature around the Power Sect immediately dropped several degrees after the appearance of this metal.

"This…." Tai Tan's eyes immediately opened to see the cold iron heart metal in front of his eyes. But before he could look any further, Shirou immediately pulled the cold iron heart back into the storage room and stared at Tai Tan.

"How is Sect Master Tai Tan? Can you do it? I've already proven that I have the Cold Iron Heart metal. If Sect Master Tai Tan can make me the item I want, I can promise to give this metal to Sect Master Tai Tan."

Tai Tan excitedly looked at Shirou and said, "Fine. I can make what you want. However, the problem lies in the materials used. Do you have these ingredients?"

Shirou smiled and said, "I do have these ingredients. Where do I need to put these materials, Sect Master Tai Tan?"

"You can put the ingredients right here," Tai Tan said calmly but he was also excited because he also wanted to see the materials that Shirou wrote.

Shirou nodded and immediately waved his hand forward. Instantly 15 metals of various shapes and sizes appeared in front of everyone. Tai Tan's eyes opened in shock as every single one of these metals in front of him was of the same rarity as the Cold Iron Heart metal. However, the feeling of shock was restrained, and looked at one of the members who followed him, "You call the other members and below these materials come inside"

"Yes Sect Master"

"Sect Master Tai Tan, how long will it take for you to make desired order, Xiao Shi?" Ning Fenzhi asked out of curiosity. He also wanted to calculate the time for their Clan to gather the materials Shirou wanted.

Tai Tan didn't answer immediately but thought for a bit and said after he finished thinking, "It will take me at least 2 weeks to complete this item"

"Then Sect Master Tai Tan, how much down payment do I have to pay for the Furnace?" Shirou asked casually.

Tai Tan immediately shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, the Cold Iron Heart that you will give is enough to pay for all the costs of making the Furnace you want"

Shirou was a little speechless by Tai Tan's words, but he still loved to accept it because he saw that Tai Tan also didn't want to continue the discussion about money and payments. Ning Fenzhi looked at Shirou and said, "Xiao Shi, is your business with Sect Master Tai Tan settled?"

Shirou looked at Ning Fenzhi and said, "I've finished, Uncle Ning."

Ning Fenzhi nodded and looked at Tai Tan, "Then Sect Master Tai Tan. Our business here too is over, we should head back soon because we still have something to do"

"Haha~ Fine. Good. Sorry for not being able to greet Sect Master Ning and the others with such a warm welcome." Tai Tan said in a slightly embarrassed tone.

Sect Master Ning smiled and said, "No problem"

Tai Tan looked directly at Shirou and said, "Xiao Shi, you can come two weeks from now, I'm sure the order you want will be completed on time"

"Fine. I will come two weeks from now, Thank you Sect Master Tai Tan." Shirou said as he bowed respectfully to Sect Master Tai Tan.

After bidding their farewells, Ning Fenzhi, Chen Xin, and Shirou immediately walked back towards their horse carriage and immediately boarded as they slowly left within the power Clan compound. Tai Tan who saw their departure only showed a small smile and said, "Interesting child. Even he can befriend soul beasts" Tai Tan himself who as a Counter level power could see there were soul beasts under Shirou's clothes.

However, he had no interest in those soul beasts because he saw that they were only speed-type soul beasts and not soul beasts befitting their strength-focused martial souls.

"Xiao Shi, Uncle Sword, and I want to return to the Sect. How about you pay a visit to the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect?" Ning Fenzhi immediately tried to invite Shirou to come so he could try to invite Shirou back into their Sect.

Shirou shook his head and said, "Perhaps I decline Uncle Ning's invitation for now. I still want to look around Tian Dou City a little longer. Moreover, lily and I are coming to this Tian Dou City for the first time, we still want to expose more interesting things in this Tian Dou City. Maybe I can visit the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect once Uncle Ning has gathered all the ingredients needed to make the Evolution Pill."

"I see." Ning Fenzhi nodded.

"Then Uncle Ning. Maybe Lily and I can just drop off here. The two of us still want to take a walk and have a look at this Tian Dou City." Shirou said calmly.

"No problem" Ning Fenzhi smiled and said a little loudly "Stop!"

The horse carriage carrying Shirou, Ning Fenzhi, and Chen Xin suddenly stopped in the central area of ​​Tian Dou City, Shirou immediately walked down from the horse carriage and turned to look at Chen Xin and Ning Fenzhi while politely saying, "Then Uncle Ning, Grandpa Sword. Thank you for the ride provided. Moreover, if Uncle Ning had obtained the materials I wrote down earlier, Uncle Ning could look for me in this Tian Dou City, I would be here. And if I go, I'll try to send a letter telling Uncle Ning where I'm going."

"Fine, I understand." Ning Fenzhi nodded with a smile.

Chen Xin looked at Shirou and said, "Little friend, don't you try to think again about getting back together with us?"

Shirou shook his head and said, "Grandfather sword, thank you for inviting me. However, I still want to take a look at this Tian Dou City. Later, when Uncle Ning and Grandfather's sword have gathered all the materials and the Furnace is ready, I will visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Clan."

"Alright" Chen Xin sighed slightly disappointed as he also wanted to try to get Shirou back with them to the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect.

"Then Uncle Ning, Grandfather Sword. See you later." Shirou bowed respectfully as he turned to walk away starting to continue his adventure in Tian Dou City.

Whereas the carriage carrying Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin immediately moved swiftly back to the Sect because Ning Fenzhi wanted to immediately order the various Sect members to look for the materials Shirou had told him.
