'My progress is too slow.It seems like it will atleast take 3 months for both the techniques to breakthrough.But I am in not that much hurry.Take it slow and peacefully' Xi Chen thinks as he keep walking on his way to iron market.
When Xi Chen reach to the iron market he went straight to a iron farm that is connected to a smithing farm.He search for the keeper of the farm and went up to him and says "Hi how much is for 20 Kg of fine iron".
The man replies "Its 10 copper coins a Kg" with a smile.
Then Xi Chen asks again "Then how much is the tempered iron for".
Then man shows a flattering smile and says "Ohh the tempered iron is sold for 30 copper coins a Kg.How much would you like the tempered iron".
Xi Chen hurriedly waves both his hands "Oh no I am just asking. I am only buying the fine iron".
The flattering smile of the man faded but he quickly puts on a fake smile "Then how much would you like the fine iron for" he asked again.
"20 Kg please" Xi Chen take out 200 copper coins as he replies.
"Then wait please" The man took the copper coins and went to the back room to get the fine iron.
As he waits for his things, Xi Chen looks back towards the entrance of the iron farm.There he sees a man with a well built body and a fiery looks on his eyes.Most likely the man is a Martial artist.
"Sir here is your fine irons" The farm keeper's voice snaps Xi Chen out of his thought.
He takes the sac of fine irons from the keeper's hand and lifts up the sac and put it one his shoulder.Even though its a little heavy,it is not much of a problem to him.
As Xi Chen walks away he heard the martial artist said something about weapon to the farm keeper.Then Xi Chen thought to himself how to crafts a suitable weapon for martial artists and warriors.Since normal weapons can not hurt a warrior or martial artist, he can not make the weapons from fine iron or tempered iron.Then he shakes his head of not to think about it for now.
After some time, Xi Chen reaches home.On the way home he also bought some wild boar meat which will last for some days.
"I should practice for some times and ready for the festival and ready for the rejection" Xi Chen ready himself and went on for his daily practice.

The middle aged man said with a confident and domineering boice.
"Then I congratulate father ahead of time" the young man said with a joyful voice.
At this time,a servant came to the courtyard and report with his head bow down "Patriarch everything is ready for you".
"Good" Then the middle-aged man turns to the young one and with a strict tone "You should do your part carefully without any mistake" said to the young man.
"Yes father.Then I get going" The young man reply and went to towards the exit with the servant leaving the middle-aged man alone in the courtyard.
