Zhou Tong had previously sold goods to Ninth Master Jie several times, and they were all large items. Adding on his relationship with Second Master Jie, the two of them had become familiar with each other.
As for Master Eight, the first time they met was interesting. Master Eight always liked to travel and pretended to be a Taoist priest until one day, the two of them took a fancy to the same acupoint.
Most importantly, this acupoint was from another province and did not belong to the Nine Gates 'business scope. After learning that Zhou Tong was the now somewhat famous' little tyrant 'of Sand City, he pestered him to fight with him.
In the end, there was really no other way, and the two could only continue to fight. With Lord Myna's extraordinary calculations and Zhou Tong's skill and strength, the two easily and happily cleared this rather large acupoint.
Perhaps he felt that Zhou Tong was quite a 'decent' person, so he would drag Zhou Tong into a fight for no reason. It wasn't until a year ago, when Zhou Tong was designing the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, that the number of times the two of them worked together decreased.
"Young master, didn't you say you wanted to forge a treasure last year? Do you need my help?”
"You? Lord Myna, do you know anything about mechanisms or forging? You help? I'm afraid you're not going to help."
"Hey, you brat, how can you say that? I'm not willing to help ordinary people! You're good, you're even despising me!”
"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Myna, but I've already finished forging.”
"What is it? You've already forged it? Did you bring it? Quick, take it out and let me open my eyes!”
When Eighth Master Qi heard that Zhou Tong had not only designed the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, but had also forged it, he was extremely shocked and hurriedly wanted to take a look to broaden his horizons.
After Lord Eight's ruckus, everyone in the room knew that Zhou Tong had already finished crafting his personal weapon.
They were all aware of Zhou Tong's forging skills. Ever since the Sixth Master had used the knife forged by Zhou Tong to split open a dumpling, Zhou Tong's name had resounded throughout the Nine Gates.
Everyone came to look for Zhou Tong, hoping that he would help them design their own weapons, but Zhou Tong had used a single reason to reject them.
That was, he would have to spend a lot of time designing his own weapons and would not be able to spare the energy to help them make them.
In the end, he did not expect that he would wait for a year. One had to know that Godfather Liu's saber had only taken three days to forge.
Now that he had spent a year designing this weapon, he was afraid that it had already reached the standard of a 'divine weapon'!
Helpless, Zhou Tong could only take out the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella for everyone to see.
The moment Eighth Master Qi saw the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, he snatched it away. As he rubbed it gently, he muttered,
"Godly workmanship, godly workmanship.”
"Young master, this shouldn't be an umbrella, right?”
Zhou Tong had originally thought that Master Eight was so passionate about his umbrella that he would understand it very well. In the end, he hadn't expected him to not understand it at all, pretending to know what he didn't know.
"Master Eight, give it to me. It's my master's birthday. I'll perform for everyone to liven up the atmosphere.”
"This weapon is called the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. It has a total of twelve forms. The first form is a shield, used for defense.”
Zhou Tong withdrew the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and used his thumb to press a mechanism. The umbrella's surface instantly opened. It was made of some kind of fused gold thread, but whether it was flexibility or defensive power, it far surpassed ordinary shields.
"The second form is a greatsword. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella has two special umbrella ribs. Together with the mechanisms within, they support each other, turning into a greatsword that is used to split mountains and rocks.”
Zhou Tong used a special technique to press down on the umbrella's handle. Instantly, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella began to transform, gradually taking the shape of a greatsword.
"The third form is the spear. This is my personal hobby. I'm sure you don't want to experience the specific effects, so I won't show you.”
"The fourth form, the Eastern Staff, is a blunt weapon, mainly used to…The last form, Flying Claw, was mainly used for rock climbing.”
"Alright, that's all. Everyone's curiosity should be satisfied!”
Under everyone's dumbstruck gazes, Zhou Tong put away the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, and Lord Eight grabbed Zhou Tong's hand.
"Second Young Master, is this Myriad Manifestation Umbrella easy to make? Can you give me one too?"
Eighth Master Qi's words seemed to open a door for everyone. Yes, what was there to be envious of? Wasn't the person who could make the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella here?
With regards to such a treasure, even if they didn't use it, they would definitely not go wrong with collecting it. Everyone looked at Zhou Tong curiously.
"What's wrong? Master Eight is changing his profession? Do you want to give up divination martial arts?"
"You rascal, I'm asking you something serious! Why are you so unrighteous!"
"Haha, alright, I won't tease you anymore. The creation of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella is extremely rare, both in terms of craftsmanship and materials.”
"Everyone has seen the craftsmanship just now, so I won't go into detail. I'll just go straight to the materials!”
"The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's structure is complex. To support such a complex structure and ensure that it will not be damaged in battle, the requirements for materials are relatively high.”
"Regardless of whether it's copper, iron, aluminum, silver, or any other metal, there's only one requirement, and that's to be at least 10,000 Refined. Only by meeting this requirement can one reach the foundation for crafting the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.”
"And then…"
"Stop, young master, are you talking about the Ten Thousand Refined or the Hundred Refined?”
"That's right. Why is Master Eight interested?”
"I'm not interested anymore. Ten thousand refinements? Young master, do you know that the strongest blacksmith in the world is only thousand refined?”
"Lord Myna, if you don't believe me, I'll pack the first batch of thousand refined metal for you.”
Just as Lord Myna was about to play rogue with Zhou Tong and snatch the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella for a while longer, a man in military uniform with an extraordinary temperament walked in from the main door.
"So lively? Adjutant Zhang, it seems like we have missed out on a lot of things!”
"Looks like it. Lord Eight, from your actions, you seem to want to snatch our Little Second Master's things?”
When everyone saw Lord Zeng, they all stood up and greeted him.
"Lord Zeng has several."
Lord Zhang walked in front of Deputy Zhang, and the two of them walked straight to the second master. They gave him the gift and then everyone started to eat.
The elders of the Nine Gates and the Second Master's wife sat at a table. The rest of the younger generation sat separately. They found a table for those who were closer to them or who were closer to them.
Zhou Tong and Chen Pi sat next to each other.
"How have you been recently? Did Master punish you?"
"Senior Brother, how am I supposed to continue chatting without you?”
"I don't expect you to continue. Remember, Master's wife is weak, don't bring back any random things.”
"We might not be able to withstand the things below. You know what I mean, right?”
"Also, you're not young anymore. Master has also assigned you a hall. If there's no need for you to stay here at night, it's not convenient.”
Zhou Tong continued to tap on the dried orange peel. In the original novel, the Second Master's wife's final cause of death was because the dried orange peel had brought back a hairpin that was infected with the virus. This had caused the Deer Living Grass to become useless in the end, and she had died in the Second Master's arms.
Since he had already established a firm foothold in Sand City, it would not be good for him to be stuck with his master's wife every day.
"I know, senior brother. I'm full. I'll go out for a walk.”
