Castle of Black Iron

Zhang Tie’s parents rarely contacted Zhang Tie directly. In most cases, Zhang Tie’s parents would have Zhang Yang notice Zhang Tie.

When he returned home last time, Zhang Tie gave his dad a remote-sensing communications finger ring, through which his dad could directly contact Zhang Tie. This time, Zhang Tie’s dad directly contacted Zhang Tie by that remote-sensing communications finger ring.

“Elder brother, do you know why our dad called me back home?” Zhang Tie contacted Zhang Yang when he was in the sky.

“You’ve also been called back by dad?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ve also received the news. He wants me back home and told me that he had something to negotiate with me!”

“Dad, where are you now?”

“I’m in Tongzhou Province. I’m going back to Jinwu City by airboat. These days, Tongzhou Province is a bit chaotic. The business and investment of Jinwu Business Group are influenced a bit. I went to Tongzhou Province to deal with it!”

“Elder brother, are you all right?”

“I’m fine. I will arrive at Jinwu City soon. Let’s talk about it later at home!”

“Right!”

After ending the remote-sensing communications with his elder brother, Zhang Tie contacted Zhang Gui and inquired Zhang Gui whether something happened at home these days.

Zhang Gui told Zhang Tie that nothing happened at home these days. Therefore, Zhang Tie became reassured.

“However, there was one thing in Jinwu City these days. A grandson of Tang Clan, the Shengzhou provincial governor’s clan was detained in the prison of Jinwu City. Over the past months, Tang Clan had assigned people to look for him in Jinwu City many times in vain. After Tang Clan reported the case to the Supreme Court of Taixia Country, the officials of Taixia Supreme Court and northeast military region’s headquarters and an elder of Tang Clan finally saved the grandson of Tang Clan out of the prison of Jinwu City through negotiations with Jinwu City. However, that grandson’s one leg had been lame as he almost lost his life. This case has shocked the Supreme Court; additionally, it is related to the fame of Shengzhou provincial governor and Jinwu City. As a result, both parties have oral disputes about that. These days, there’re gossips in the folk…”

Zhang Tie thought about it for a short while and finally recalled it. Zhang Yang just mentioned it to him briefly at that time. Zhang Tie remembered that when he returned home at the end of last year, a grandson of a provincial governor loosened his tongue in Jinwu City and was put into prison…

This was not a big deal for Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie would not care about it even if it was Shengzhou provincial governor, not to mention his grandson.

“Nothing else?”

“Nothing else!”

“Well, I see!”

Zhang Tie ended up the contact with Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui was indeed useful in Jinwu City.

A whale couldn’t be raised in a fishbowl; similarly, the thunder hawk couldn’t be limited in a small space either. The vast space outside Castle of Black Iron could make the thunder hawk happy and free. The thunder hawk’s sphere of activity was within hundreds of thousands of square miles centered by the Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Additionally, it disliked crowded place. In most cases, it moved in the unpopulated regions in the north or west of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and returned to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory occassionally. Even Zhang Tie had not seen the thunder hawk for a few months. He could only sense the general location and direction of the thunder hawk and would not call it back except for emergencies.

This time, Zhang Tie flew back to Jinwu City from Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory by himself; of course, his speed could match that of the thunder hawk.

Zhang Tie soon arrived at Jinwu City when the dark had fallen.

In the sky, Zhang Tie could see tens of thousands of people

This place was where Zhang Tie had people dig No. 1 earthworms. It was now more boisterous than marketplaces.

This business could have been under the control of Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie; however, the two brothers were not interested in such a bit amount of money. Of course, those people couldn’t dig all the No. earthworms outside Jinwu City. Actually, before Zhang Tie had people dig them outside Jinwu City, he ordered the earthworms to gather here in advance. Therefore, those people could easily dig so many earthworms and bring them to Ninghe Prefecture. After Zhang Tie canceled his order to gather those earthworms, those earthworms had already scattered.

However, one silver coin for one earthworm was still very attractive to commoners; especially those kids. Try to imagine, with one hope going down, they could get a few silver coins. It was more like digging a gold ore instead of digging earthworms.

At this moment, those people who were digging earthworms were mainly youngsters; especially children from 5 to 15 years old.

It was cheerful over there. As long as any kid could find an earthworm, they would be jubilant at once. If they could get a lot of earthworms, they would be more cheering. The moment these kids got earthworms, adults would come here to purchase them with crates, one silver coin for one earthworm. No pay, no goods.

A lot more airboats seemed to be at the airport outside Jinwu City, making it pretty boisterous.

Zhang Tie saw a businessman driving his car into the airport before handing the big crate being full of earthworms to a person who got off an airboat. The one who got off the airboat opened the box and threw a glance at it as he nodded and passed a gold note to that man. The man who sent the crate of earthworms here took the gold note with a big smile. Closely after that, that airboat flew off towards south…

…

Soon after he arrived at Jinwu City, Zhang Tie had found that Jinwu Airboat had just landed in the airport while his elder brother was getting off the airboat.

“Elder brother…” Zhang Tie’s sound drifted into Zhang Yang’s ears before he arrived in case that Zhang Yang’s bodyguards mistook Zhang Tie as an assassin who declined from the sky.

“Ahh, you’ve also arrived!” Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Tie with a smile. Closely after that, Zhang Yang threw a glance at his bodyguards. His bodyguards then scattered as they dared not disturb the two brothers’ communication.

After his bodyguards scattered, Zhang Yang forcefully punched Zhang Tie’s shoulder before whispering in a genial way, “You’re having cool days in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory these days. Can you bear over 10 wives?”

Only Zhang Yang dared ask Zhang Tie about that. The others were not qualified to do that as they did not have such a stance or the close relationship with Zhang Tie.

That was a talk between brothers and men.

“I could keep standing for many weeks without leaking any drop of sperm or firing dozens of times a day under my control. What do you think about that, elder brother?” Zhang Tie blinked his eyes as he replied in a secret way.

Zhang Yang became stunned, “That’s amazing!”

“Knights are as vigorous as dragons and tigers. Such a bit consumption is nothing for knights. I was told that some knight in Taixia Country built a city; married thousands of wives and had thousands of babies. Finally, that knight couldn’t even remember his kids’ names and always mistook the mothers of those kids…”

“Ahh, to be honest, how many times could you make one day at most?” Zhang Yang further lowered his voice with a strong curiosity.

The two brothers walked towards home as they talked about this “private topic” through whispers.

“A few days ago, we returned to Taixia Country by airboat, erm…Elder brother, you know…it’s a bit boring on the airboat. I couldn’t make any of my wives feel being treated coldly; therefore, I kept firing over 40 times a day on the airboat; I treated all of them equally…”

Zhang Yang shook his head while revealing a smile, “It seems that I really can’t match you on that. When I could make 7 times a night, I even felt pleased about that; lately, I feel a bit tired…”

“Elder brother, didn’t you use the Taiyi soul-building pills that I gave you? As long as you lit your surging points one by one, your physical potential would be gradually tapped…”

“I’ve not started to use that yet. I was taking care of Jinwu Business Group these days. Therefore, I have little time to polish my surging points. Our dad took some Taiyi soul-building pills and had already lit the 13th surging points on his spine…”

Zhang Yang’s words made Zhang Tie stunned. Closely after that, Zhang Tie felt pretty thrilled. Zhang Tie had not imagined that his dad could promote to a LV 7 fighter. Although LV 7 fighters were as weak as kids in front of Zhang Tie, it was great for his dad to be a LV 7 fighter. Because Zhang Tie’s dad didn’t have any talent in cultivation at all, it was already very difficult for Zhang Ping to promote to LV 6 a few years ago. Without Zhang Tie’s Taiyi soul-building pills, Zhang Ping might not light so many surging points for the rest of his life.

“Hasn’t our dad formed the soul’s fire this time?”

“Nope, dad said he didn’t want to kill living beings. He only needs battle qi to keep healthy!”

That was a good choice. No matter what, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang would never allow their dad to go to the battlefield. It was already great for Zhang Ping to light more surging points.

“Where’s mom? Has our mom taken those Taiyi soul-building pills?”

“Yes, dad and mom supervised and urged each other to practice. They’re very interested in cultivation. Mom has lit 6 surging points on her spine. Our mom has already been a LV 5 warrior. After finding that dad and mom are practicing so hard, I also reflect on myself and feel that I could hand some jobs of Jinwu Business Group to someone else and spend more time in cultivation. No matter what, health couldn’t be bought. If I was surpassed by our dad one day, that would be a laughingstock at home…” Zhang Yang shook his head.

“Hahaha, it’s good if you could think in this way. Our family doesn’t lack anything at all. It’s meaningless even if we could make billions of gold coins more per year…” Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he felt pretty good. Zhang Tie felt that nothing was valuable than hearing his parents lighting more surging points. This was absolutely the best news that he had ever heard in late months. If his parents could light more surging points, they would be healthy and have a longer longevity; additionally, they would enjoy a more happy lot from their sons, which could never be bought. “It’s worthwhile for me to return the airboat to Taiyi Fantasy Sect. We have to appreciate Taiyi Fantasy Sect for having our parents being so passionate about cultivation. Later on, if there’s an opportunity, I will have Taiyi Fantasy Sect send us thousands of Taiyi soul-building pills more. I dare not guarantee the sufficient provision of Taiyi soul-building pills for others; I promise our family could have enough Taiyi soul-building pills…”

“Each person could only take 99 Taiyi soul-building pills at most. It doesn’t work if you have more…”

“So what. LV 10 is not bad. If our parents could promote to LV 10, that would mean greater happy lost and longer longevity. After promoting to LV 9, people would live 120 years; after promoting to LV 10, people would live 150 years. No matter what, I would try my best to help our parents promote to LV 10 at least…” Zhang Tie said it decisively as if this was his firmest will.

“You’re right. If our parents could promote to LV 10, you and I would not live in vain as their sons!” Zhang Yang said firmly too.

“Oh, elder brother, as you’ve just come back from Tongzhou Province, how’s the situation facing Tongzhou Province?”

“It’s very worse…” Zhang Yang looked gloomy at once…
