Among the many professions in the Kyushu Continent, the most complex and difficult to learn are the refining tools and talismans.

The refiner is called the star master in the Kyushu continent, and the talisman maker is called the star master master.

The star weapon master must not only master the formation but also master the refining weapon, especially the formation is engraved on it in the form of a formation pattern, which is a test of the strength of a formation mage's research and talent on the formation path, and also has to master the proportion and attributes of the materials required when refining the weapon...... In this way, he can refine a high-level magic weapon, and the star weapon master is relatively unfamiliar to Mu Chen, because he was a martial artist in his previous life, and he is proficient in a little rune knowledge, and he also has a little knowledge of formations.

But it's only a little dabbling, not how proficient it is.

Now Mu Chen needs to refine the magic weapon, and naturally needs to go to the star finder, but the star weapon master is generally relatively cold, and the price of the shot is also expensive, after careful consideration, Mu Chen decided to take action himself, in the era of Emperor Wu, although he is not proficient in these things, but after all, he has lived for hundreds of years, and he has more or less some opinions when he sees and talks with friends around him, so it is better to rely on others than on himself, at least there is no need to ask for others.

Thinking of this, he was going to buy some cheap refining materials to practice first.

If you go up, you will use Tianyu Sand Copper and Purple Kui Heart Gold, and if you miss, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Thinking of this, he first went to the Star Treasure Pavilion and spent all his savings to buy some low-grade refining materials, and then rushed back to the Five Elements Heaven.

Originally, he thought that he would meet Situ Qianmei, but this time the other party didn't seem to be in the store.

On the way back to Wuxingtian, he happened to pass by the Yuqing River, and when he thought of the boatman, Mu Chen walked over directly.

The boat was moored on the edge of the ferry, with smoke rising from it, looking at the sunset in the west, a quiet and peaceful picture, the old boatman was sitting in the middle of the boat grilling fish, drinking wine, drinking merrily and singing.

Seeing this scene, Mu Chen smiled.

"Boatman, long time no see. Mu Chen said hello and walked directly into the boat.

"Although we have only been separated for a long time, I often look forward to you coming to talk about it. ”

The boatman said with a smile, Mu Chen smiled slightly again when he heard this, took out two jars of wine directly from the Yuan Ring, and said with a smile: "Are you looking forward to me coming or are you worried about my wine?"

"Well, it's both!" the boatman was slightly stunned, and then laughed loudly.

Mu Chen didn't continue to dismantle the ship's house when he heard this, put the two jars of wine in his hand in front of him, and said with a smile: "This is the seven-day floating drunk brewed by one of my old people, although it is not as good as the taste of the heartburn, but it is not much different, today I am in a good mood, take this opportunity, let's have a good drink, as a thank you for your help." ”

"You're welcome, isn't it? I'll help you with all your heart, and I don't have too many ideas. ”

When Mu Chen heard this, he waved his hand to stop the boatman from continuing to speak, but said slowly: "I have clear grievances in this life, if there is kindness, I will repay it, if I have revenge, you have helped me, how can I not be grateful?"

"There is no need to thank you, just send a few more jars of wine to the old man. ”

The boatman looked at Mu Chen with a smile, he had been thinking about the wine on Mu Chen's body for a long time, the heartburn last time was really the best wine, Mu Chen smiled when he heard this, he looked at the boatman and hugged his fists and said: "I promise you here today, in twenty days, I will bring you a new taste of wine, which is better than the heartburn." ”

"Is that true?" asked the boatman.

"Naturally, you can't fake it. Mu Chen nodded.

The boatman nodded, he stood up and walked slowly to the bow of the boat, looking at the half of the river dyed red by the sunset, and muttered: "Forty years ago, I had an ancient one sailed from the ferry of this Yuqing River to Izumo Country, she said that she would return in three years, but forty years passed in a hurry, the original black hair has been dyed white, the scenery of the Yuqing River is still the same, but the old friend seems to be lost, I don't remember the way back, I am here day and night, I hope to wait for her return, but I am disappointed again and again, so young man! Don't promise easily, because the most uncountable thing in this world is a promise, and the most successful thing is also a promise, which is really sad, but it is a pity not to be true. ”

"This is the reason why my predecessors worked as boatmen at the ferry?" Mu Chen asked rhetorically.

"Yes and no, my original plan to be a boat family was to wait for the return of the old man, but time flies, the years are unbearable, people's hearts will always change, if she returns is also a friend, because I know that she will not come back must have a reason not to come back, but now I don't regard this as all, now I just want to have wine and meat, years as a song, and I am old. The boatman said slowly, but Mu Chen could deeply experience this feeling.

Mu Chen nodded and walked to the boatman's side, he said bitterly: "Maybe for you, this ferry is the deepest memory, but the human heart is the saddest, you don't know when you have a moment to be with you is a blessing, but to lose it is to look for it, wandering a thousand times, just to pursue the memory of the moment you once walked with, nostalgia, contemplation, regret, regret...... So my greatest wish in this life is to have no regrets, because I have already experienced the pain of loss, and I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"You little boy, you are not very old, and you are old-fashioned when you speak, but there is some truth in what you say. ”

The boatman looked at Mu Chen playfully, and he smiled, "Regret is unbearable, but how can life be without regrets, otherwise how can it be called complete." ”

"Yes, a life with regrets can be called a life, and you can see this clearly. Mu Chen nodded, and immediately took out a jar of wine from the Yuan Ring, opened it directly and drank it, the boatman naturally did not be idle when he saw this, picked up the two jars of wine that Mu Chen gave him before, opened it and drank it with Mu Chen, this time the two did not speak, just watched the sunset slowly falling on the other side of the river, each immersed in their own thoughts and placed in a no-man's land, maybe both of them are reminiscing, as for the ups and downs of the memories they themselves know.

The two of them drank for a long time, and they didn't know how much wine they drank, anyway, the wine in Mu Chenyuan's ring was empty.

The boatman seemed to be a little drunk, but Mu Chen was becoming more and more sober, once upon a time, the wine could not paralyze him, or the heart was too heavy, and he could always stay sober.

It was already early in the morning when he said goodbye to the boatman, and Mu Chen directly entered the Five Elements Heaven and entered Qixia Peak.

Within the Water Moon Cave Heaven of Qixia Peak, on the flat grassland, Lao Ba Qingmo was still training his demon beast as usual, and when he saw Mu Chen returning, he showed that trademark honest smile and said, "Xiao Jiu, you just left the Water Moon Cave Heaven, why did you return so quickly?"

"Back to Eighth Senior Brother, I just bought some refining materials this time. Mu Chen hugged his fists.

"Haha, refining materials? Do you refine weapons?" Qingmo looked at Mu Chen in surprise, as if he was unusually surprised, about Xiao Jiu's arrangement of the fourth-order formation to make Taolin regain its vitality, this matter has been repeated in the Water Moon Cave Heavenly Boat, it is said that this Xiao Jiu junior disciple is an out-and-out martial arts cultivator, and now he is still a very talented formation cultivator, if he can refine the weapon again, wouldn't it be an instrument cultivator, this is rumored that there will be a big earthquake in the entire Five Elements Heaven, and even their master who has never met before can't help but show up.

"I just wanted to learn. Mu Chen said seriously.

Qingmo's face became extremely serious when he heard this, he looked at Mu Chen very seriously, and said: "Xiao Jiu, I can tell you, the way of martial arts lies in refinement, good at diligence, you can't be too ambitious, favoring one over the other, so it will delay your path, just like your eighth senior brother, I only focus on the way of controlling beasts, although the way of controlling beasts is a small way, but I will never favor one over the other, because I think that even if the way of controlling beasts is a small way, if you are diligent in cultivation, you will not fail to preach the other side of the road and step through the void." ”

"What the Eighth Senior Brother taught. Mu Chen nodded and said, "But you also know that the Star Weapon Master has always had a cold personality, and I urgently need a magic weapon to assist in cultivation, so I ......"

As soon as Mu Chen's words fell, Qingmo laughed directly.

He looked at Mu Chen with a smile and said, "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, you are too underestimating the ability of our Senior Brother and Sister of Shuiyue Cave Heaven, our Water Moon Cave Heaven, plus you, there are a total of nine people, but each focuses on its own way, and they are all quite attained, as for the refining weapon you are talking about, it is your fourth senior brother's specialty, do you know that your fourth senior brother is a genuine star weapon, and the refining level is the spirit king level, which can refine earth-level treasures and heaven-level treasures." ”

Mu Chen was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't know this.

"Your sixth senior brother Di Xiao is a Fu Dao Grandmaster, and his research on Fu Dao is beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

Mu Chen was stunned again, this Water Moon Cave Heaven was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"Your fifth senior sister is cultivating the formation path, your third senior sister Lan Tingxue is majoring in the poison path, your seventh senior brother Fu Hao is majoring in the Dan Dao, and the second senior brother is majoring in the sword path......"

Listening to Qingmo's narration, Mu Chen was really surprised, he didn't expect that the people in the Water Moon Cave Heaven were really all demons.
