Chapter 14 Confidence
"Okay, then tell me the approximate number, about 20 mature ironwoods per person. If it's not enough, we can make more when the time comes." Feng Tianzong made a rough estimate.
One ironwood can make about two to three puppets. Conservatively speaking, 20 ironwoods can make about 50 ironwood puppets. If the Zhou family can send more disciples, he can almost harvest an ironwood puppet army.
In troubled times, heroes rise from all directions, and those who have guns are kings. If he has an ironwood puppet army, will the base and population still be a problem? As long as he doesn't blatantly raise the flag of rebellion, he can be a local emperor in this border town like Liaoyuan.
"Hiss! So many?" The owner of the dental shop felt that his teeth were a little leaky. How much silver would it cost?
"I'm not asking you to spend money, why do you think so much? If it's so easy to become an immortal master, how can there be so few immortal masters in the Great Xia Dynasty?
Go back and tell your boss that this is just the beginning. How can it be so easy to become an immortal master?
If you don't want to learn, forget it. I can pay the Zhou family more for the two thousand acres of land, and we'll be even. This immortal master is not something that a small family can afford to learn." Feng Tianzong said with a contemptuous tone.
Feng Tianzong played a trick on him.
"This matter is not something a small servant can decide. I need to report back to the head of the family before I can give Master Feng an answer. Master Feng, please wait a few more days."
"Don't worry. Anyway, the time for the immortal sect to recruit disciples has not yet arrived. We need to wait patiently for a while.
Tell your head of the family, the earlier you learn, the greater the hope of joining the sect in the future. If you learn too late, when the sect recruits disciples, your Zhou family's children will not know anything. If the sect does not accept them, you can't blame me for not recommending them."
Feng Tianzong put on a carefree and condescending attitude of the immortal master, which made the shopkeeper anxious and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Feng Tianzong smiled at the background that hurriedly went away. He had seen clearly that he should not be too polite to these country bumpkins who were used to being frogs in the well.
The more polite they were, the more they felt that their status was high and they wanted to take advantage of others everywhere. On the contrary, when Feng Tianzong showed off his immortal master's style to them, these people's attitudes became better.
To sum it up, there is only one word: "cheap".
To describe it in one sentence: Cheap people are hypocritical.
The reason why Feng Tianzong dared to be so tough with the Zhou family was because the twenty ironwood puppets behind him gave him enough confidence.
These ironwood puppets have good melee ability, comparable to ordinary cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining. If they face ordinary armies, it is no problem to fight one against a hundred.
With these twenty powerful ironwood puppets, it is completely possible to beat two thousand ordinary armies. And they have to be elite troops. Those poorly trained armies can be defeated in one breath with just three or five thousand.
There are only one thousand city defense troops in Liaoyuan City, and they are not elite.
Now even if the three major families in the city come to him together, Feng Tianzong can easily suppress them with one hand.
It's just that the Great Xia Dynasty has a deep foundation. Although it is only a mortal dynasty, the royal family is connected to the world of immortal cultivation. Feng Tianzong can be a local emperor and beat those big families, but he can never go against the court and rebel.
But now he finally has the confidence to fight against those wealthy gentry. In the future, he can fool them if he can, and if he can't, he will just turn against them. He won't suffer any loss.
