Chapter 290 This kid! He has a rebellious mind
Everyone looked at the cards in Zhang Lingshan's hand with envy.

Not everyone is qualified to ask Guan Weigong to make weapons.

Even for powerful people like them who are at the Tongmai realm, they have to spend a huge amount of money, or have a treasure that Guan Weigong is interested in, to have the opportunity to ask Guan Weigong to personally refine the weapon.

Generally speaking, it is Guan Weigong's disciples who refine the weapons.

If you have more face, Guan Weigong will personally supervise the work.

If the face is small, Guan Weigong will not even show up, and it will all be done by his disciples.

Therefore, the card that Li Bufan gave to Zhang Lingshan is priceless.

Not only can it ensure that Guan Weigong will refine the weapon himself, but it also saves the trouble of making an appointment in advance.

Moreover, there is no need to pay for refining equipment.

The only thing you need to spend is the materials for refining the equipment. Guan Weigong will not give them away for free, so you have to prepare them yourself.

If the materials you prepare are high-end, then the product you create will be high-end.

If the materials are rubbish, it would be an insult to Guan Weigong. Even if he has Li Bufan's cards, Guan Weigong will not be polite.

In other words, even though Zhang Lingshan has this card in hand, he cannot ask Guan Weigong to refine weapons for the time being.

He also had to prepare top-quality refining materials in advance, otherwise this refining opportunity would be wasted.

However, Zhang Lingshan doesn’t know these rules yet.

He put away the cards in his hand, and then said, "Grand Marshal, we have the token of the Hammer Master, but we don't know where the Hammer Master's office is."

Li Bufan said: "Zhang Lingshan, I think you are a talented person, so I gave you this position of Hammer Master, which has broken the rules of the Demon Suppression Division.

“If I assign you another government office, the guardians of the Demon Suppression Department will probably impeach me.

“So, you go find the yamen yourself. Whatever place you can occupy will be your territory as the hammer wielder.

“In addition, I will give you 300 quotas. As long as you take someone you like under your command, you can be included in the Demon Suppression Division. You only need to register with the Merit Hall. The Merit Hall will pay you a corresponding salary every month according to your rank.

"Of course, you can recruit people outside the establishment, but they are your own private army. You have to pay them yourself. They are not under the jurisdiction of our Demon Suppression Department. Do you understand?"

Everyone was shocked.

Li Bufan actually gave Zhang Lingshan such a lot of freedom. He must be thinking too highly of him.

Compared to Hua Wu Yue and Zhang Xiufeng, who were Demon Suppressors, Zhang Lingshan's position as Hammer Master was completely on a different level.

The Demon Suppressor is purely a figurehead, a solitary man with no subordinates but only status.

If he goes to the Demon Suppression Office in other states, once his identity as a Demon Suppression Envoy is revealed, everyone will give him face, and he will be provided with free food, clothing, housing and transportation, and all aspects will be taken care of by the local Demon Suppression Office.

However, in a place like Zhongzhou Demon Suppression Division where officials are everywhere, this identity does not play such a big role.

They are like some disciples of a sect, without any rank or salary, but they can take on tasks in the Hall of Merit.

They will be awarded merit points according to the completion of their tasks, and then they can exchange them for various treasures in the Merit Hall.

Zhang Lingshan's hammer user not only has a rank and salary, but can also recruit subordinates from the Demon Suppression Division on his own.

In other words, if Chen Guangtuo and others are willing to join Zhang Lingshan's Hammer Hall, they can have a rank and receive a salary from the Demon Suppression Division.

At the same time, it does not affect their status as demon-suppressing envoys.

So when Li Bufan finished speaking, Chen Guangtuo, Zhang Xiufeng and others all looked surprised.

Considering their relationship with Zhang Lingshan, it shouldn't be a problem for them to directly join the Palm Hammer Hall.

Once they enter the Hammer Hall, they become elders with high status and can receive corresponding salary.

Isn’t this better than relying on family?

In the family, although they are excellent, they are not the best, and the resources they get are limited.

Besides, we are all adults now and it’s time to make plans for ourselves.

Isn't it a perfect way out to join the Palm Hammer Palace and follow Zhang Lingshan, a popular figure under Li Bufan?

Different from what Chen Guangtuo and the others thought, what Chenlang Sect and the others thought about was Li Bufan’s intention.

Why, why was Zhang Lingshan given such great power?

Old men like them from the Demon Suppression Division could immediately see that the identity of the Hammer Master was a bit like Zuoqiu Jian's Sword Master.

The sword wielder, known as the Sword of the Demon Suppression Division, is specialized in killing those troublesome demons who wreak havoc on the world.

According to Li Bufan, the Hammer Master is responsible for killing with a hammer those who dare to challenge the Demon Suppression Division.

In other words, even if the opponent is not a demon, as long as he provokes the Demon Suppression Division and has dissatisfaction with the Demon Suppression Division, he can be killed with a hammer, and he can be killed with a hammer first and report later.

Isn't this power greater than that of a sword wielder?

After Zuoqiu Jian was recruited into the Demon Suppression Division, Li Bufan only gave him the status of a swordsman, allowing him to expand his own territory.

Zuoqiu Jian captured a city on his own, and after operating it for many years, he established the famous Sword Hall.

Anyone who is in the Sword Hall is respectfully called the Sword Master when they go out.

Zuoqiu Jian was honored as the master of the Sword-wielding Hall and was also honored as the Sword-wielding Angel.

Tian means noble.

For example, Li Bufan was honored as the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. Compared with his previous title of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was obviously more honorable.

Similarly, Zuoqiu Jian's title of sword-wielding angel also represents his strength and noble status.

If Zhang Lingshan can also enter the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking in the future and expand the Palm Hammer Palace, he will be honored as the Master of the Palm Hammer Palace, or the Palm Hammer Angel.

Chen Langzong couldn't help but marvel in his heart. Could it be that in the Grand Marshal's mind, Zhang Lingshan could already be compared with Zuo Qiujian?

But Zuo Qiu Jian had already mastered the art of killing and was at the peak of the Tongmai realm, with a great reputation as a killer.

As for Zhang Lingshan, he is only in the middle stage of the awakening realm. Although he killed Zhang Xianbai, it was a sneak attack and he took advantage of the situation, which did not show his true strength.

Such a record cannot be said to be rubbish, but it is definitely not a good reputation.

What qualifications does he have to be compared with Zuoqiu Jian?
At least in the eyes of Chenlang Sect, Zhang Lingshan still needs to accumulate and grow.

In time, probably after a dozen years, he might be able to grow to the same level as Zuoqiu Jian.

But now, he is still far away.

However, Li Bufan did not consider what Chenlang Sect was thinking.

Li Bufan has already made the final decision by appointing Zhang Lingshan as the Hammer Master and giving him so much power. The matter has already been decided and there is no point in anyone saying anything nonsense.

"Thank you, Grand Marshal, for your respect. It is my honor to be respected by you. I will repay you for your kindness. If anyone dares to challenge our Demon Suppression Division, I will beat them into pieces and spread the reputation of our Demon Suppression Division!"

Zhang Lingshan said loudly, with a serious look on his face.

Li Bufan laughed loudly, "Good! I knew I had made the right choice. But you just arrived in Zhongzhou and you just came out of the Power Transmission Tower, and you are already in such an important position as the Hammer Master. I'm afraid you won't be able to convince everyone. So, you must make some achievements as soon as possible, so that you can get the recognition of everyone in the Demon Suppression Division, understand?"

"My subordinate understands."

Zhang Lingshan said sternly, "But I am young and have little knowledge, so I don't understand the current situation. I hope the Grand Marshal can give me some advice."

Li Bufan said: "A child who is supported will never grow up."

"The Grand Marshal has taught me a lesson. I know I was wrong."

Zhang Lingshan said ashamedly.

Li Bufan said, "Don't be ashamed. You just arrived in Zhongzhou and your foundation is not yet solid. I can understand that you want help. But there are already capable people around you. As long as you make good use of them, I believe you will grow up quickly and impress everyone."

As he spoke, he patted Zhang Lingshan's shoulder earnestly.

Zhang Lingshan showed an expression of enlightenment and said loudly: "I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Marshal."

"Okay, I'm glad you understand. Go ahead and start your career. I hope to hear the name of the Hammer Master resound throughout the land of Kyushu as soon as possible." Li Bufan said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Zhang Lingshan saluted solemnly and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and said, "Grand Marshal, I heard that there will be a Power Transmission Tower competition in a few months. I also came to the Power Transmission Tower this year, so I should be eligible to participate in this competition."

Li Bufan said nothing and looked towards Chenlang Zong.

The rules regarding the Power Transmission Tower are under the jurisdiction of the Chenlang Sect.

Chen Langzong was somewhat speechless and said: "According to the rules, you are qualified. But do you still need to participate?"

Zhang Lingshan said, "I heard that there is a reward for the first place in the competition. What is the reward?"

Chen Langzong said: "Those rewards are useless to you."

"No. I am now the hammer master, and I have subordinates to support. These rewards are useful to me. So, I hope that Master Chen will help me and not deprive me of the qualification to participate in the competition."

Zhang Lingshan said solemnly.

Chenlangzong was stunned.

This kid has actually started to make plans for his subordinates. He is so ambitious.

Moreover, they pluck feathers from passing geese.

They had clearly taken a bright white storage bag and made a lot of money, but they still wanted to make some money from him.

Fine.

Since you've just become the Hammer Master, I'll give you a little congratulations.

Chen Langzong took out a small white jade bottle and handed it to Zhang Lingshan, saying, "According to the rules, the reward is not as good as this. This is a personal gift from me to you. I wish you a successful start with the Palm Hammer and a quick success."

"Thank you, Palace Master Chen!"

Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed and bowed, and said, "Palace Master Chen stopped Zhang Xianbai and saved my life. If you need me in the future, just ask. I will do my best."

"Haha. Okay, got it."

Chen Langzong said with a smile.

With his status and strength, there is no need for Zhang Lingshan's help.

Even if Zhang Lingshan finally reached the highest level, it would take many years. His Chenlang Sect would probably be extinct, and he would not need any help from the other party.

In his eyes, this was just the politeness of a young man.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Zhang Lingshan bowed to Li Bufan, Chen Langzong and everyone else, regardless of whether he knew them or not.

Everyone responded. Even if they didn't think Zhang Lingshan could build the Palm Hammer Hall, they wouldn't lose anything by giving him some face.

What if this kid really creates a miracle?

This kid even dared to kill Zhang Xianbai, and he did it quickly and efficiently, showing that he is very courageous.

He is a member of the Zhang family again, and has Zhang Xianfeng as his backer.

Who knows, Zhang Xianfeng might recruit a bunch of people for him in the Zhang family, or set aside a place in the Zhang family as the Hammer Hall.

Although it may not be smooth, Zhang Lingshan at least has the external conditions, which is a natural advantage compared to others.

Perhaps, this is the reason why the Grand Marshal appointed Zhang Lingshan as the hammer wielder.

With the help of the Zhang family's power, Zhang Lingshan, the hammer wielder, and Zuoqiu Jian, the sword wielder, can check and balance each other.

You have to know that Zuoqiu Jian is a dishonest guy. He is insidious, cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant and domineering.

If it weren't for his great strength, there would be countless people in the Demon Suppression Division who would want to kill him.

This person can be said to be a big cancer in the Demon Suppression Division. Recruiting him was a helpless move and also the most wrong decision Li Bufan has ever made.

Regardless of whether Li Bufan thinks so or not, at least the Chenlang Sect and the others think so.

So, in their eyes, Li Bufan is now making amends.

Given Zuoqiu Jian's temper, once he knew that Zhang Lingshan was the hammer user, he would definitely find a way to make trouble for Zhang Lingshan.

After all, the power of the hammer wielder is greater than that of the sword wielder.

He would never allow Zhang Lingshan to grow up.

On the one hand, killing geniuses was Zuoqiu Jian's hobby, and he claimed that he would use the blood of geniuses to help him take his killing skills to a higher level.

On the other hand, destroying Zhang Lingshan without anyone noticing is also a disguised way of showing my strength to Li Bufan, letting Li Bufan know that I, Zuoqiu Jian, am not someone you can easily beat.

If you, Li Bufan, don't cause trouble, I, Zuoqiu Jian, will live in peace.

If you do anything weird, don't blame me, Zuoqiu Jian, for killing all your people!
'Zhang Chengen, the ancestor of the Zhang family, is ranked sixth on the Heavenly Ranking. Zuo Qiujian is ranked seventh on the Heavenly Ranking. If Zuo Qiujian dares to attack Zhang Lingshan, Zhang Chengen will definitely not stand idly by. This is the battle between the sixth and seventh on the Heavenly Ranking.'

Chen Langzong thought to himself, 'What a brilliant move by the Grand Marshal.

'Even if Zhang Lingshan didn't grow up, with his relationship with the Zhang family, the fight between the hammer user and the sword user would be a fight between the Zhang family and Zuoqiu Jian.

'The two sides have already formed a confrontational relationship.

'Originally, the Zhang family had considerable influence in the Demon Suppression Division, but they were scattered all over the place and difficult to manage in a unified manner.

'But next, they will probably all revolve around Zhang Lingshan.

'The Grand Marshal's use of the palm hammer not only put Zuo Qiujian in a bad light, but also brought all the Zhang family members together.

'In this way, both sides fight and weaken each other. Wonderful!'

The more Chen Langzong thought about it, the more he admired Li Bufan.

He is worthy of being the Grand Marshal.

The strongest Grand Marshal of the Demon Suppression Division in history, the man who brought the Demon Suppression Division to its peak.

This is the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Li Bufan!
Any random thought of his would take him to a height that Chenlangzong would never be able to reach in his lifetime.

It's ridiculous that his Chenlang Sect used a communication talisman to summon Li Bufan, and his original intention was to let Li Bufan accept Zhang Lingshan as his disciple.

Myself, this pattern is too small.

It turns out that he is not cut out for great things and is only fit to retire in the Transmission Hall.

The Grand Marshal arranged himself here, and he deserves the reputation of knowing people and assigning them to the right positions.

However, Chenlang Zong didn't know that Li Bufan thought more and more deeply than he did.

He hoped that Zhang Lingshan could do more than just compete with Zuoqiu Jian.

"This boy has a rebellious mind and is definitely not willing to be inferior to others. If I accept him as my disciple, I'm afraid I will not be able to sleep well."

Li Bufan sneered in his heart, he knew why Chenlang Sect activated the communication talisman to call him over.

However, Chenlangzong is still too naive, and his dirty eyes cannot recognize people.

When accepting a disciple, one must not only consider the talent, but also the character.

This Zhang Lingshan is obviously not honest. Although he pretends to be honest, what he does is simply not what an honest person would do.

He dared to take advantage of the situation and launch a surprise attack to kill Zhang Xianbai in front of him.

Is this an honest person?
This boy is not suitable to be an apprentice, but he is suitable to be a knife maker!

He should give himself a little surprise.

Ha ha.
