Chapter 2291 - 2286: Iron Sword Inn

Chapter 2291: Chapter 2286: Iron Sword Inn

The shopkeeper was a big-bearded man, not very tall, standing on a chair behind the counter.

Seeing Gehou walk in, he immediately burst into laughter: "Everyone, come and see, my Iron Sword Inn actually has a beauty staying here. Today’s sun must be rising from the west."

"Hey, I say, Old Ironhead, you’re right, this girl is really pretty. Just don’t know if we have the fortune to enjoy this."

The Demon Hunting Teams sitting in the hall eating all raised their heads to look at Gehou.

Both Gehou and Wang Chuan and Hu Mei’er, who walked in behind her, raised their eyebrows, and Hu Mei’er directly slapped the table: "Dwarf, we’re here to stay, is this how you treat your guests."

"Guests? No, no, no, you’re not my guests yet. I have rules here. If you want to stay, little girl, you probably haven’t heard well about the rules of Old Ironhead here."

Dwarf Iron Sword jumped, leaping onto the counter, then grinned at Hu Mei’er and said.

"Oh? Staying at your inn comes with rules, what might they be?"

Hearing Iron Sword’s frivolousness towards Gehou, Tang Ming wasn’t happy at heart. But now, he needed accommodation, so he suppressed his inner thoughts.

The dwarf nodded and said: "Want to try? Looking at your delicate skin, I’d say you should have some wine here, my restaurant’s quite good."

"No need, I want to stay, and I’ll stay in your inn."

Tang Ming was provoked by Iron Sword’s words, he snorted and then said.

"Hahaha, there really are more and more bold young people nowadays. Fine, then let’s go by our rules."

Dwarf Iron Sword mentioned his rules, directly jumped off from the counter, and the guests in the restaurant all quickly stood up, eager to watch the spectacle.

Dwarf Iron Sword was very short, looking only about one meter tall, but precisely because he was short, he was very agile. After jumping from the counter to the floor, he directly activated the formation in the room.

Once the formation was activated, all the tables were transferred to the sides, but things like chairs didn’t change much, just elevated slightly, looking more like the stands in an arena.

The guests who had stood up returned to their positions, smiling and eating their food again.

Iron Sword pointed to the artifact refining furnace rising below and said: "Come on, follow the rules. As long as you can craft a magic treasure that I approve of, you can stay in my shop. And that magic treasure will be your accommodation fee."

"Crafting a magic treasure?"

Tang Ming was somewhat surprised looking at this dwarf named Iron Sword, not expecting him to have such a quirk.

Hu Mei’er knew Tang Ming could craft magic treasures, but she still coughed lightly: "I say, Shopkeeper, my husband indeed can craft magic treasures, but if he crafts a magic treasure for your shop, what about my sister and me?"

"I’ve long considered this point; our shop has its rules. If your husband passes the assessment, then you also qualify to stay here, but your accommodation will be charged."

Dwarf Iron Sword saw that Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er weren’t afraid or cowardly, and spoke more seriously.

"Alright, we’ll first go buy some materials. We’ll be back soon."

Tang Ming nodded and said.

Seeing Tang Ming walk outside, a diner approached Iron Sword and said: "I say, dwarf, it’s been so long since anyone challenged your lodging rights, what do you think of this guy?"

"He hasn’t started yet, how would I know how he is, but seeing the two girls following him, you can tell he’s someone with skill. We’ll see soon enough, won’t we?"

Iron Sword snorted and said.

The diner’s mouth twitched; this dwarf is good at everything but always speaks coarsely. Were it not for his wife being a very good Immortal Chef and he being a highly skilled Immortal Craftsman, few would want to come to his shop.

Tang Ming and the others went quickly and returned quickly too. After all, the surrounding shops all sold materials.

Perhaps because it’s been so long since anyone challenged the lodging rights at the Iron Sword Inn, Tang Ming, Hu Mei’er, and Gehou attracted a lot of people as they went to buy materials.

"Everyone shut up! This is my shop; if you’re here without ordering, then get out!"

Dwarf Iron Sword returned to the counter and shouted, making the entire inn rumble.

The people outside clearly feared Iron Sword, quickly choosing seats on the side and sitting down, then paying for meals.

Standing beside Tang Ming, Hu Mei’er smiled and said: "This dwarf sure knows how to do business."

"Indeed, using lodging tests with artifact refining as a pretext to attract customers, it’s a good strategy. Okay, you all step back a bit, I’ll craft an Immortal Artifact now."

Tang Ming smiled at Hu Mei’er and said.

Hu Mei’er nodded, having some confidence in Tang Ming. After all, Tang Ming had mentioned before that his father Tang Mosheng had Ghost Tang send him the Divine Machine Refinement.

Although Tang Ming hadn’t studied the Divine Machine Refinement well, even by showing some basic skills, he was probably much stronger than those so-called Artifact Refiners.

Tang Ming used ordinary iron ore, which could be found everywhere in Source Stone City. Moreover, because Tang Ming deliberately bought inferior ore, there were many impurities in these ores.

Once Tang Ming took out the ore, Iron Sword no longer paid attention to the customers, calling a clerk instead, standing across from Tang Ming, eyebrows raised but staying silent.

Since Iron Sword didn’t speak, Tang Ming looked up to him a bit more.

After all, many people think that to craft good Immortal Artifacts, one needs good materials.

But the Divine Machine Refinement mentioned that good materials are all refined from inferior ones.

The more ordinary the materials used, the better the Immortal Artifact that can be crafted, which is what it meant to be a top-tier Immortal Artifact Craftsman.

After setting the iron ore swiftly, Tang Ming expertly lit the furnace and placed the inferior iron ore pieces onto the fire. This all seemed plain and dull, one could even say many apprentice Immortal Craftsmen were more adept than Tang Ming.

In Source Stone City, the one thing not lacking was Immortal Craftsmen who crafted Immortal Artifacts. Seeing Tang Ming’s actions, they immediately started discussing. Some even thought Tang Ming wasn’t a craftsman at all.
