Until he left, the old-timer didn't tell Pan Long who he really was.

Pan Long didn't ask, and even when someone replaced the senior and came to talk to him about business, he didn't ask the other party about the identity of the senior.

If people didn't say it, why should he ask?

Some people in the rivers and lakes want to make a name for themselves all day long, and they can't wait to bring a microphone with them, repeating "I am Baotou Lu Fengxian" and the like 24 hours a day. Naturally, there are people on the contrary, always mysterious, even if someone asks him what his surname is, he only answers that "the nameless junior is not enough to worry about".

Pan Long does not refuse to report his name under normal circumstances, but he often puts on a vest for himself, and comes to "order blessings" and the like.

Others are reluctant to reveal their identities, which seems to him to be a very reasonable thing, and it is not worth caring about at all, let alone asking.

The platoon sect member who took over the trading work was about forty or so, and he looked quite thin, and the interesting thing was that he didn't seem to have practiced martial arts either.

Pan Long asked with some curiosity: "This uncle, are you also a sorcerer?"

Probably the old-timer told him when he was leaving, and this person's attitude is quite good. Wen Yan replied with a smile: "Whenever we go out to do things, the 'leader' in charge of negotiation must be the operator. Without a little Qimen's skills, he can't control the scene. ”

"Isn't it good to be a martial artist?" Pan Long was a little curious.

"There are too many warriors, not rare. The man replied, "Sorcerers are much rarer." Many people will have a much better attitude just because of this rarity. ”

Explaining this small detail, he took out another piece of paper: "This is our catalog of goods, you see what you like." According to the cost price to you. ”

Pan Long took the catalogue and looked at it, only to see that most of them were medicinal herbs, talismans, magic weapons, and the like. Nothing particularly unusual.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Your religion has a long history and is famous all over the world. Among my various factions in Great Xia, they are known for their spells. The prestige of the thirty-six laws of Tiangang, even if it is a junior like me, is also like thunder. ”

The thin middle-aged man suddenly smiled.

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, and everyone will say good things. But different people say good things, but the effect is also different.

If it is an ordinary Jianghu guest, no matter how many good things he says, he can't make this "leader" with strong spells move at all. But Pan Long is strong and knowledgeable, and he has recently become famous in the rivers and lakes. When he said these few words, the leader of the row was very happy and felt face-saving.

Pan Long complimented him a few words before he said his thoughts: "I have a knife, the material is ordinary, but it has the ability to drive away evil spirits, which is very wonderful." Now I want to add some materials to enhance its texture without damaging its own exorcism...... I wonder if there's a suitable way to be at the head of the line?"

The head of the row nodded suddenly and said with a smile: "This is also simple, it is nothing more than a method of refining the essence." Most of the practitioners in the world know this method, and each one is ingeniously different. ”

Pan Long took out the divine long knife, and at this moment the night had fallen, and the environment was very dark. After the old man left, the lantern made of magic disappeared. There was only one windproof lamp brought by the platoon leader, and it was not bright. But as soon as the divine long knife came out, it emitted a faint white light, which suddenly illuminated the surroundings a lot, and this brilliance was even brighter than the windproof lamp.

In addition to the white brilliance, the Divine Long Knife also exudes warmth, as if it can penetrate people's hearts, making people feel peaceful and happy unconsciously, and many good memories flood their hearts. It is the positive energy contained in the knife that permeates the surroundings and affects the surrounding environment.

When the leader saw this knife, his expression immediately changed, revealing a look of surprise.

"Huh?" he said, "how so?"

He took the Divine Long Knife from Pan Long's hand, and immediately frowned slightly, feeling that this knife was a little hot in his hand. But fortunately, I could bear it, so I endured the burning and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked, the more surprised and delighted he became.

"The forging technique of this knife is mediocre, just find an old blacksmith, spend ten days and half a month, and it will be typed. But the wonderful power contained in the knife is really extraordinary!" he couldn't help but say, "The power is not great, but the purity is extremely high, and there is hardly a trace of impurities." In particular, this power is extremely pure and upright, and it is the most righteous and bright power I have ever seen in my life. ”

"Distilling that power is already difficult in itself. What is even more difficult is that when pure things are born in heaven and earth, they will continue to radiate to the surroundings and gradually become no longer pure. But although the power on this knife is also spreading around, it has not diminished in the slightest, nor has it become impure in the slightest...... But why is that?"

His expression gradually became fanatical, and what he said gradually made Pan Long unable to understand.

It was a long time before he placed the Divine Long Knife on the table and took out a box of ointment and applied it to the palm of his hand. I saw that his palm was obviously red, obviously burned by the divine long knife.

Pan Long secretly shook his head in his heart - those who would be injured by the divine long knife were naturally evil people.

Fortunately, this person has been holding it for so long, and his palm is only burned red, and the injury is not serious, so it should not be very evil. Otherwise, if he is really a great traitor, he really doesn't dare to do business with the other party with confidence.

"I wonder if there is a way to strengthen this knife?" he asked.

The leader nodded again and again: "Although the power of this knife is very wonderful, it is the so-called ever-changing. You don't have to know the power to strengthen it—after all, it's the material, not the power, that I'm trying to strengthen. ”

He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's just that this kind of power is very subtle, and it has the power to change people's hearts. You should be careful when you use this knife in the future. ”

Pan Long didn't explain the essence of this sacred long knife, but asked, "What material does the leader think this knife should be strengthened with to be more appropriate?"

The leader thought for a moment and said, "The material of this knife is only mortal iron, considering its own warmth, I think it can be used as the main body of the blade of the sword, and the gold essence can be wrapped outside." The position of the blade can be sandwiched with a layer of white essence. This should enhance its texture to the fullest, while retaining its power completely. ”

As he spoke, he showed a hint of hesitation: "It's just...... This method is too complicated. As the so-called ingenuity of the world, it is not complicated but simple, if it is so complicated, it will be a little troublesome if you want to improve it in the future. ”

Pan Long immediately understood and asked, "What does the predecessor mean - is it better to use the whole knife, or use the same material?"

"That's right. It's a pity that the hardness of fire copper is really not very good, and it is only slightly stronger than ordinary steel. If it is all fire copper essence, the improvement is limited. ”

Pan Long asked: "Since the hardness of fire copper is not good, then why not use Xingsha?"

Fire copper is an ore that grows in the volcano, and it looks purple-red on the outside, like pure copper, and it contains high heat, and if it is placed on wood, it can even heat the wood to ignite, hence the name.

This mineral is not particularly rare, and it is produced in Yizhou and Yunzhou.

Star sand, on the other hand, refers to a silvery-white hard, fine sand that is said to come from meteorites that fall from the sky. A huge meteorite falls from the sky, and after being scorched by the heavenly fire and washed by the wind, only a few small pieces are often left in the end. The hardest part of them is Xingsha.

Star sand is a little rarer than fire copper, but it is not particularly rare. The land of Kyushu does not produce much, but the East China Sea and the South China Sea produce a lot. The flying swords used by overseas swordsmen are often cast from star sand, which is extremely hard. When fighting with Kyushu masters, they can often break the weapons and spells of Kyushu masters just by relying on their own materials.

As for the essence of gold and Taibai, they are special minerals that are artificially refined.

Using the secret method to refine gold, about a thousand catties of gold can be refined into one or two gold essence, it is unimaginably heavy, but it has a good tolerance for all powers, and it is most suitable for making magic weapons. Aside from the high cost and being too heavy, there are no significant drawbacks.

Taibai Extract is similar to it, but the raw material used for refining it is iron. In addition to its heaviness, its most striking feature is that it is hard, so hard that it is almost hard to say. Basically, what it looked like when it was cast will not change in the future.

In addition, there is an interesting saying that Taibai essence and star sand should be the same kind of minerals in essence. It's just that Xingsha is forged by the power of heaven and earth, and it is just a little more spiritual than Taibai Essence.

Pan Long usually reads a lot of idle books, and he also knows a lot about these special minerals, so he said it casually at this moment.

When the head of the row heard this, he was slightly startled at first, and then said: "If the whole thing is to use star sand, then you have to use at least 100 catties of star sand." With so much weight, not to mention our wooden rows, even if we add a few nearby roads, we can't make it up. ”

“...... What about the whole use of Taibai Essence?" Pan Long retreated, "I am quite confident in my cultivation and can help refine it." ”

The leader shook his head even more: "The Taibai essence is too hard, and there is no toughness at all." Using it to quench into the knife, the knife appears to be sturdy at first glance, but in fact it loses many of the subtleties that it has been put into use. Moreover, if this knife is too hard, once it fights with someone, all the power is fed back to the owner's body, and it is easy to hurt the palm of the hand, and even the bones may be broken. ”

"I'm pretty confident in my body, and if I could have been bruised, I wouldn't have been able to beat him, so it didn't matter. ”

Although Pan Long said this, the leader of the row just shook his head, without the slightest intention of backing down.

The platoon leader is clearly confident in his expertise and very stubborn in his professional issues. Pan Long said a few times, but never said that he could not move, and finally had to sigh and retreat.

"Then let's do it, I'll go look for Xingsha, and when I find enough Xingsha, I'll ask your master to help refine this knife, how about it?"

The leader of the row nodded and took out a bamboo plaque for him.

"When you find Xingsha and come back, you may not be able to meet us on the Tongtian River. You can go to the north of Jingzhou and look for the rudder on our platoon land. As long as you take out this bamboo token, the congregation will know that you are a guest with us, and they will naturally take you to meet the leaders of all walks of life. ”

When Pan Long heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "I once heard that you Pai Jiao lives on the water all year round. But as far as I've seen in the past few years, I've rarely met you. So you usually live on the shore?"

The leader of the row smiled: "At the beginning of the establishment of our Pai Sect, everyone was so poor that they didn't even have a place to stand, so they could only use the wooden platoon as their home. But as the years passed, we had already grown stronger, and we had also purchased a lot of properties on land. Nowadays, most of our sect members live on land, and as for the water parade, it is more just a ceremony to remember our predecessors and confirm their practice. ”

Only then did Pan Long understand, and suddenly his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "According to what the head of the row said, could it be that all the people on these dozens of wooden rows are here to practice?"

The head of the platoon nodded with a smile: "Of course, those who are qualified to go to the wooden platoon, even if they are not members of the inner sect, at least they are the best among the outer sects, and they are being assessed." Otherwise, if we are doing well on the ground, why should we make a special effort to get these old wooden rafts out again?"

Pan Long looked at the wooden rafts parked on the shore on the dim river, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

On a wooden platoon, there are as few as one or two people, and as many as more than ten people. There were nearly thirty wooden platoons in total, adding up to one or two hundred people.

If these 200 people were all sorcerers, that would be a staggering number. According to what the platoon leader said, there are various wooden rows nearby, and presumably the manpower of each road should be similar.

The scale of the rehearsal and the number of practitioners are truly amazing!

It's no wonder that there are few sorcerers in Kyushu, and with Paijiao as a reference, presumably most of these sorcerers usually practice behind closed doors, even if they don't practice, they should gather together to act together, and hide their identities.

For ordinary people, as long as the practitioners are unwilling to reveal their identities, of course they will not find out.

I see!

Pan Long sighed, put away the divine long knife, and bought some small talismans before saying goodbye and leaving, returning to the shore.

Returning to the shore, he did not continue east, but towards the nearby mountains.

He wanted to find a suitable place to enter the Classic of Mountains and Seas to find materials that could temper the Divine Long Knife.

Go overseas to find Xingsha? Then you have to find the donkey year and the horse month!

Even if you find Xingsha and then find someone in the Pai Jiao, the two sides are not familiar with each other, and the other party may not really care.

In contrast, it is better to find the right materials now and ask this leader to take action.
