Inside the house.

The Great Elder of the Black Demon Sect closed his eyes and crossed his knees, and Jin Xiaochai walked to a futon in front of him and sat down.

Jin Xiaochai seemed to be unrestrained in front of this Black Demon Sect's highest cultivator, and he didn't even have the respect that the sect head deserved.

"You stole my Qianyuan Pill, what are you doing, you can't use this pill. The Great Elder didn't open his eyes and spoke.

"I gave it away. Just a Qianyuan Pill, with your grandfather, your magic attainments are not easy to come by. Jin Xiaochai said disdainfully.

Speaking of which, this Shi Mu is a little interesting, I thought he had died in the wilderness, and I didn't think that he would be able to come back. The Great Elder opened his eyes, changed his words, and said as if he had a deep meaning.

"I thought he was dead, so you didn't announce to the sect before that he had made great contributions in the barbarian war? He improved his cultivation so quickly this time, and the sect didn't pay attention to it, I helped you do this, how can you reward me?" Jin Xiaochai pouted.

"I'm going to reward you for stealing my elixir? I don't think you'd care about a male disciple for no reason. However, it was quite surprising that he was able to win the first place in the big competition. The Great Elder glared at him and said angrily.

"Hmph, he wants to compete for the first place so desperately this time, it's just that he wants to make himself famous and worthy of Ximen Xue...... At first, I thought that this kid was a ghost, but I didn't think that he really had the potential to impact the innate nature. Jin Xiaochai snorted and briefly described the agreement between Tianyin and Shi Mu.

"Hehe, I see. In this way, the thirty-year period is almost up, and Xue'er is extremely talented, and her ambitions are not in this projectile land...... Hailing, you can be regarded as painstaking. The Great Elder showed a look of sudden realization, and looked at Jin Xiaochai with a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

"You said you wouldn't interfere with me, your words count! I don't care, this time I'm going to lead the team, even if it's a reward for me. I don't want to never see Xue'er again!" Jin Xiaochai said loudly.

"Promise you too...... But you have to promise me first. Whatever the outcome, you'll have to be serious for me when you come back. The Great Elder pondered for a moment and said.

......

On the second day, Dongfuzhong.

Shi Mu sat at the stone table in the living room. In his hand, he played with a crimson black flame order, and his face showed a look of thought.

A moment later, the white light on his fingers flashed slightly, and the black flame order in his hand disappeared.

Shi Mu stood up and strode towards the outside of the cave.

Half an hour later.

Shi Mu stood in front of a small attic. In the space ring in his hand, there were one more hundred and eight Black Flame Orders, of which sixty were one-year cultivation resources that he could receive after becoming a first-grade disciple.

Of course, there are even more Blood Gang Pills, there are hundreds of them.

The next moment, his figure turned around and walked in the direction of Linglong Pavilion.

Soon, there were forty-eight more Black Flame Orders in his spatial ring, as well as twelve primary-rank spirit stones.

Half an hour later, in the main hall of the Spirit Law Palace.

Behind a large mahogany table. The gray-robed old man with triangular eyes and sharp-beaked monkey cheeks put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Shi Mu who had just walked into the temple door thoughtfully.

This person is Sun An, who registered Shi Mu as a warlock apprentice back then.

"Boy, I didn't expect that you not only have a talent for making talismans, but your martial arts cultivation is not weak, and you can defeat Duan Qianli and Mo Ning in one fell swoop, hehe, not bad!" Sun An looked Shi Mu up and down with a strange look on his face, and bowed his head slightly.

"Uncle Sun has an overreputation!" Shi Mu arched.

"To say you're good is to say you're good. What are you humble!Say, what's the matter with coming here today?" Sun An rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously.

"Uncle Sun, the disciple is here this time. It's in exchange for some Warlock Books. Shi Mu knew the other party's temper, and he didn't care, and said with a slight smile.

"Oh, come with me, these warlock books don't come cheap. But you kid got the first place in the first grade, and the Black Flame Order is almost enough. The gray-robed old man nodded. He got up and walked to the back of the temple.

Shi Mu hurriedly followed.

After a while, in an underground stone chamber in the Spirit Law Hall.

Shi Mu wandered through the wooden shelves, and soon, he found a gray jade slip.

A smile appeared on Shi Mu's face, what was recorded in this jade slip was the Yun Shen Technique.

"Senior Uncle Sun, the disciple wants to exchange for the last ten layers of this divine technique, I don't know how many Black Flame Orders are needed?" Shi Mu came to the door with a gray jade slip and asked the gray-clothed old man.

"Tsk, you kid doesn't have a small tone, there are a total of ninety Black Flame Orders in the ten layers after this Yunshen surgery, have you thought about it?" Sun An glanced at Shi Mu's hand and said expressionlessly.

Shi Mu's face changed slightly, the price of the Divine Essence Technique was far beyond his imagination, and more than one-third of the Black Flame Order in his storage ring was gone in the blink of an eye.

Shi Mu nodded a little painfully, handed the gray jade slip to Sun An, and returned to the wooden frame again to look for it carefully.

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and when Shi Mu left the Spirit Law Palace, the Black Flame Order in the Dust Ring was only a quarter of the original.

But his eyes were full of excitement.

In addition to the last ten layers of the Divine Technique, he also found a book that recorded the "Xuanfu Miaoji" of the middle-level talismans, and with his current cultivation as a spirit-level warlock, he could already begin to comprehend.

Not to mention the massive amount of materials needed to cultivate this middle-level talisman, the amount of Black Flame Orders in exchange for this classic is also an astronomical amount for ordinary disciples.

No wonder it is said that warlocks burn money far more than warriors, but the importance of warlocks to the sect is self-evident.

Shi Muxuan touched the dust ring in his hand, thinking so in his heart.

After a meal, Shi Mu appeared on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

To his surprise, it was not Uncle Ju who was as fat as a mountain of meat that greeted him, but a man in a green robe in his forties with a strange face, who was looking at a somewhat yellowed scroll with relish.

The table where the parrot Cai'er was originally placed was also empty, which made him a little unaccustomed.

"Senior, I want to go to the Blood Scripture Pavilion to exchange for an exercise, and I hope that my seniors will provide convenience. Shi Mu took two steps forward and arched his hand.

......

An hour later, Shi Mu had returned to his cave mansion, and there was an extra red jade slip in his storage ring.

What was recorded in this jade slip was the "Red Ape Fire Sutra" that he had given up when he first came to the Blood Scripture Pavilion, so far he had thought that it was more than enough for the Black Flame Order, but there was not much left.

At this time, he sat cross-legged on the bed, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face.

Just now, he also consulted some classics about the records of pills in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion by the way, and after careful comparison, he found that the pills given by Jin Xiaochai were indeed Qianyuan Pills, and their preciousness was by no means below the Qingying Fruit.

He couldn't understand what made Jin Xiaochai willing to send such a precious pill to himself.

Shi Mu shook his head, stopped thinking about it for the time being, turned over his hand and took out the jade slip of the "Red Ape Fire Sutra" and pasted it on his forehead.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, took off the jade slip, stood up suddenly, picked up the meteor hammer and the meteorite black knife on the ground, and walked out of the cave.

Speaking of which, on the day he got the Dust Ring, he wanted to include the two, but for some reason, the Dust Ring that can contain all things has no reaction in front of this black knife and meteoric iron.

As a result, Shi Mu had to continue to carry it on his back.

Half an hour later, the thirteenth peak bluestone square, Zhao's blacksmith shop.

"Senior Brother Shi Mu, why do you have time to come to my small shop, come on, come on, please come in!" Zhao Ping was taking care of business in the store, and when he saw Shi Mu walking in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Zhao doesn't have to call me why Senior Brother, let's call me Shi Mu. Shi Mu smiled and said.

There were also one or two customers and guys in the shop, all of whom were looking at Shi Mu curiously at the moment.

Shi Mu is now in the Black Demon Gate, and everyone knows about it, but he has always thought that he is low-key, and rarely shows up outside, which has aroused the interest of others even more.

"Senior Brother Shi is polite, you are now our Senior Brother of the Black Demon Sect, how dare you be presumptuous in the future! It's a little noisy outside, you should have something to do with me, let's go inside and talk about it in detail." Zhao Ping said with a very good look.

Shi Mu nodded, and the two of them immediately came to a meeting room in the blacksmith shop.

"Brother Zhao, I do have something to do here, and I want you to create a worthy weapon for me. Shi Mu said directly to the point.

As he spoke, he took out the Meteor Black Knife and the Meteor Hammer and placed them in front of Zhao Ping.

Zhao Ping saw the crack on the black knife of the meteor iron, his eyes moved, and then he saw the black stone in the meteor hammer, his expression changed even more, and he stood up suddenly.

"This ...... This is ......" Zhao Ping's words stammered a little, and his face flushed with excitement.

"It seems that I guessed correctly, I picked it up outside by chance, and it looks similar to the material of the Meteorite Black Knife, so I brought it back. Shi Mu said.

"Yes, this is the Extraterrestrial Meteorite I picked up at the beginning, but the only one I picked up at the beginning was a piece that was larger than a fist, much smaller than Senior Brother Shi's. Zhao Ping calmed down and said.

"Brother Zhao does he have any other knowledge about this object? In addition to the weight of this object, there seem to be some other anomalies. Shi Mu's eyes moved and asked.

"What else does Senior Brother Shi mean?" Zhao Ping asked in surprise.

"No, nothing. Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and did not say anything about the fact that the meteorite could not be collected into the Dust Ring.

"This time when I was out of the house, the Meteorite Black Knife was damaged in a battle, and I happened to get such a piece of Meteorite Iron again, so I asked Brother Zhao to rebuild a weapon for me. Shi Mu changed his words and said.

"Naturally, there is no problem with this, but what are Senior Brother Shi's requirements for weapons?" Zhao Ping saw that Shi Mu diverted the topic, and did not ask, and said with a smile.

Shi Mu took out a drawing from his bosom, on which was drawn a diagram of the structure of a long knife weapon.

The appearance is quite similar to the Mo knife, but this long knife can be detached, separating the head from the handle.

The head of the knife is almost the same as that of the Meteorite Black Knife, and the handle of the knife is a three-foot short stick. (To be continued.) )
