Chapter 426 - Blacksmith
An awkward silence filled the house.
This… this…. This was a little different from what they expected.
That stance, the power, they all thought the rock would split open. In the end, the rock was just chipped off. It was a small chip too.
Duo Kang looked at the rock on the ground, then at the sword in Gongjia Heng’s hand, then turned to give Zheng Luo a look. He wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Not just Duo Kang, even Gongjia Heng himself was confused. His entire stubbly face reddened.
He wanted to show off but in the end, he just looked stupid.
“Cough, this is a peculiar rock indeed. I’ve tried a few rocks and they were all split in half easily.” How could a random rock he picked up here be so hard? The regular rocks in the forest were all broken easily! He hadn’t expected this, he might as well… might as well kill himself right there and then.
Shao Xuan was astonished. He went over to pick the rock up and looked at the chipped off corner with surprise in his eyes.
The Xia people were a proud group because they knew that even if they made a weapon in front of an outsider, the other person would definitely not be able to make it better than them. This was just giving them pointers, Gongjia Heng was not threatened at all.
He stayed at the village for two days, fully enjoying the warmth of the Flaming Horn people. When he left, they even gave him a roasted beast thigh that was larger than his entire body. However, to him, it was very inconvenient to travel through a forest with such a large thigh. IN the end, he cut off just a portion, brought some dried meat with him and bid them farewell.
Before leaving, he reminded Shao Xuan that if he went to King City, he should bring some Thousand Grain Gold for trade and he would make more weapons. Although Gongjia Heng was not familiar with agriculture, he had seen enough to know that these grains were special.
When they heard this, the Flaming Horn people put even more hope on the plants.
Now, the grains had grown as large as grapes on the plans, so much bigger than the soybean-sized grains he had previously seen. The grains hung heavily on the plants, waiting for the day they ripened for harvest.
As he watched the Thousand Grain Gold grow, he wondered how the old man Ji Ju was doing. He was from the Ji tribe, they should be fine. He wanted to ask Ji Ju for more information to see if there were other methods to plant the Thousand Grain Gold.
