Longevity, step by step to the highest

Chang'an City is the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

It was built when the Qin Dynasty was first established. The huge city has a history of 1,000 years.

Yes, this is the safest and most stable place that Wu Ping has thought of.

As long as he "goes with the flow", doesn't cause trouble, and is a good citizen, there should be no danger in Chang'an City.

A month ago, Wu Ping left Lanyun City, and finally came here after being very careful on the road.

But he can't fast yet, and the 100 taels of silver given by his grandfather Li Wu have been used up.

If you want to live in a big capital like Chang'an City, you absolutely can't do it without money.

If you want to wander the streets, that's not what Wu Ping wants.

After a casual meal in a small restaurant, Wu Ping began to wander around Chang'an City to understand the basic layout of the city.

However, he didn't wander around casually, but was "looking for a job."

Yes, just like in his previous life, he came to the big city alone with a dream.

But this time, I really just want to find a class to attend, not to make a difference.

At present, I will find a place to settle down and solve the problem of food and clothing. It doesn't matter whether there is a "money" prospect.

Soon, Wu Ping chose a target.

"Bang, bang..."

In front of a blacksmith shop in a remote city, a bearded man was hammering and folding a newly made iron sword with a very rhythmic sense.

With bronze skin and slightly white temples, he looks a bit old.

But his explosive muscles still look strong and powerful.

Tie Sanqiang was a little strange. Not far from the door, this young man had been here for an incense stick of time, but he didn't come close. He just watched him forging iron quietly.

Finally, after completing the last hammering and quenching, Tie Sanqiang stopped and looked over.

In fact, Wu Ping had wanted to go forward a long time ago, but watching Tie Sanqiang forging iron, the unique way of exerting force made him feel something.

The powerful blows, each blow made the iron sword deform.

This man is not an ordinary blacksmith. He has definitely practiced before and is probably a martial artist.

"Boss, are you hiring?"

"What?" Tie Sanqiang looked at Wu Ping who was coming forward and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the man would say such a thing.

"Hiring? I don't want a salary, just food and accommodation."

"You are a bit old, it would be easier for you if you have more people to help you, right?"

Looking at the young Wu Ping, Tie Sanqiang was a little dazed. Food? Accommodation?

Nowadays, the world is still peaceful. This guy is much luckier than himself at that time.

Thinking of himself, he became an orphan and lived on the streets. He was also for a meal and was taken in by the previous blacksmith.

After so many years, he is old. He has been working as a blacksmith for a lifetime and is indeed a bit overwhelmed.

Thinking of this, Tie Sanqiang observed Wu Ping carefully again. He didn't look like a bad person.

Feeling relieved, he said:

"Okay, there is a firewood room at the back. After cleaning it up, it should be habitable."

"I am Tie Sanqiang, you can call me Tie Zhanggui."

Hearing the blacksmith's agreement, Wu Ping felt relieved and bowed with both hands to thank him:

"Junior Wu Ping, thank you Tie Zhanggui for taking me in. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me."

"Okay, that's it. Go clean up the room first. It's getting late." Tie Sanqiang nodded slightly. He was quite sensible. Not bad!

......

Time flies, and 3 years have passed in a hurry.

Wu Ping also worked "diligently" in the blacksmith shop for 3 years.

In the first year, he learned all the blacksmithing techniques of Tie Sanqiang.

He was even better than his master, whether it was the speed of blacksmithing or the quality of blacksmithing, they were all very fierce.

In the second year, Tie Sanqiang basically did not participate in the hammering work of blacksmithing, and he was very relieved to hand it over to Wu Ping.

It was also in this year that the reputation of the blacksmith shop spread as the ironware became better and better, resulting in a surge in business.

For a while, both of them were busy with the iron furnace.

Finally, Wu Ping had a brainwave and suggested that Tie Sanqiang take the boutique route and only make boutique ironware in the future.

The blacksmith shop, which had no plaque before, also had a brand new large plaque with the words: Sanqiang Ironware.

The left couplet: Sanqiang's product, the right couplet: Must be a boutique.

Although asymmetrical, it is simple and easy to understand.

And all the ironware produced in the future will have the "Sanqiang Ironware" print.

In this way, while ensuring the quality, the grade will be improved.

Naturally, the price will also be higher.

In this way, the income of the blacksmith shop will not decrease, and the quality of life of the two people will also be guaranteed.

Soon, the operation of the blacksmith shop started in Wu Ping's hands.

Until by chanceOne day, Wu Ping found that during a blacksmithing process, his martial arts cultivation had actually broken through to the warrior realm.

This made him throw away the hammer directly, and the blacksmithing work that day also stopped, and he even couldn't sleep at night.

At night, after calmly thinking about it, he quickly found the reason.

First of all, he had never taken precious medicine to practice martial arts, but only relied on the passive transformation of the purple qi of the Great Dao.

Secondly, the Bull Fist, which was often used to temper the basics of martial arts in the Li family before, was not used as much as before.

The only change was the constant blacksmithing every day.

And ordinary blacksmithing would not help him practice martial arts.

The final reason could only be the 9 blacksmithing moves taught to him by Tie Sanqiang.

This is most likely a trick from a martial arts technique, otherwise, his cultivation would never be able to break through so quickly.

In order to confirm what he thought in his heart, Wu Ping got up early the next day.

He bought a hearty breakfast at the market and brought 3 bottles of fine wine.

"Dongdong..."

"Old Iron, it's almost out!"

"Your favorite Zuiyue Niang, 3 big bottles, I've got it back for you."

After 2 years of "living together day and night", the two of them have long stopped addressing each other politely.

"Old Iron" is a very natural name when it comes from Wu Ping's mouth.

"Squeak!"

With the sound of the door opening, Tie Sanqiang's eyes lit up, looking at the "takeaway" and wine in Wu Ping's hand, and snatched them away.

"You kid, why are you up so early today? I've never seen you like this before."

Tie Sanqiang was very moved by Wu Ping, who he had been with for 2 years.

This young man is different from many young people.

He runs his blacksmith shop very well and is very capable.

His own blacksmithing skills are also excellent, not inferior to his.

He is also more and more demanding of his own quality of life, and seems to be very ambitious and motivated.

But the reality is that in addition to these, if Wu Ping is asked to do other things that help "grow", he will never do it.

For example: Ask him if he has ever made a career and then married a wife.

Wu Ping's answer to him was: "I haven't thought about it. It's so good to lie down like this!"

"Women will only affect his ironmaking speed, etc..."

This made the rough Tie Sanqiang a little confused. He didn't have the conditions when he was young, and now he is old, so he didn't think about getting a wife.

But why Wu Ping, who is in his prime, would have such an idea, he really couldn't figure it out.

After that, he didn't ask Wu Ping similar questions again.
