"Who are you?" Merlin pointed his spear at the old man.

"I'm the alchemist here. The old man said and stood up.

"Who are you?" Merlin looked up at the old man in front of him.

I saw that the old man was missing a foot and was holding a black metal cane, but his body was straight and had an extraordinary momentum.

There was a scar on his face that stretched across his face, his left eye was covered by a black blindfold, his clothes were tattered, and patches of dirty black skin were exposed, but to Merlin's surprise, there were many scars in the exposed skin.

"How can you make me believe in you?"

"Hmph, if you don't believe me, just tell me what you're going to do, then let the old man try it. ”

"Well, you can make me a dagger. Merlin picked up a rusty and inferior broken knife from the room and handed it to the old man, and took out a hundred spirit tickets and handed it to the old man, but the old man refused.

"Don't worry, let's build your dagger. The old man seemed to see Merlin's temptation.

So the old man took the broken knife and walked to the back of the cabin with the help of his crutches, and Merlin followed with a frown.

It turned out that behind the cabin was a large, dark room with a furnace and some strange things from the alchemists.

When Merlin saw this, he couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this old man, and wondered if this old man was really a master refiner, but then he shook his head again, thinking to himself that such a broken place, such a rotten old man, how could such a good refiner be a very good refiner, at most he might be a low-level refiner who didn't go out.

But he still wanted to see what the old man would give him in the end, and although Merlin didn't think the old man could do it, the old man gave him a vague feeling that he wasn't actually what he saw on the surface.

The old man didn't have a spiritual fire, but just ordinary firewood, which made Merlin even more dissatisfied with the so-called most powerful master in the little boy's mouth.

He knew that when refining weapons in general, they all used spiritual fire, and the fire cultivation in the monk realm generally used the spiritual fire in his body, and the red realm was generally the spiritual fire generated by spirit stones, so the things refined were far inferior to the things refined by the monk realm outside the red realm, and this old man actually used firewood, which surprised Merlin.

In this way, it took about half a pillar of incense.

"Here, your dagger is ready. Merlin was about to leave, he didn't think the old man would make a dagger, but the old man's sudden words made him stunned for a moment.

He turned around and saw the old man holding a black and shiny dagger and handing it to him, he took the dagger and observed it carefully.

"It's unbelievable that an inferior broken knife can be made into such a dagger like fine iron, and it is also firewood. Merlin exclaimed, then turned and bowed to the old man, "Old sir, in Lower Merlin, apologize for my suspicion of you just now." ”

The old man waved his hand, "No need to apologize, it's normal for little brother to have such a reaction." ”

He yawned, limped over to a chair and sat down, "I don't know what you're going to refine this time?" but you want to provide spiritual fire, and you also see that I have nothing here but broken copper and iron. ”

"Of course, you can rest assured that as long as you have any needs, you can just say. Merlin said, paused for a moment, and suddenly said curiously, "The old gentleman is from the Bluewood Empire." ”

"How do you know that the old man is from the Blue Wood Empire?" the old man said, suddenly looking at Merlin vigilantly, "Could it be that you already know my identity?"

"No, sir, you misunderstood, it seems that you are indeed from the Bluewood Empire. Merlin said as he walked to the side and pointed to a gold-trimmed sign hanging on the wall, "This is a token that only has the dignitaries of the Blue Wood Empire to enter and exit the imperial level, so I just asked a tentative question, but the old gentleman admitted it himself." ”

"What the hell are you trying to do? The old man's face darkened, he looked at Merlin vigilantly, and said emotionally, "Who sent you! You really don't give up, more than a thousand years have passed, I didn't expect you to chase and kill in the Red Realm, but what about killing the old decay in this place in the Red Realm, can you go back......?"

"A thousand years!" Merlin's face was full of surprise, it was the first time he had seen someone who had lived like this, if he had already known how many times he had changed dynasties on Earth, it made him even more determined in his cultivation path.

Merlin saw that his heart was not good, this old gentleman may have been chased to the Red Realm, so he hurriedly persuaded, "Old gentleman, please don't get excited, I didn't send it to anyone, I really came to find the refiner." ”

Finally, after some persuasion by Merlin, the old man finally relaxed.

"To tell you the truth, I'm actually from the spirit realm outside the Red Realm, and we're still from an empire. Merlin was a little excited when he spoke, as if he had seen a fellow countryman, and told the old man about the Polar Star where he was, and probably said that he would not chase and kill, so he had to flee into the Red Realm.

This resonated with the old man, he didn't expect Merlin and him to be chased in, and naturally had a feeling of sympathy for Merlin.

Finally, after some conversation, Merlin was amazed at the old man's identity.

It turned out that this old man's name was Beijiushan, and he was the royal chief refiner of the Lanmu Empire, and because he was very favored in front of the emperor, he attracted the jealousy of another person named Beijiu Po, who was also the royal chief refiner.

Once the emperor asked Beijiushan to refine a portable sword for him, and after refining it, he was rewarded heavily, but in terms of refining materials, he was secretly manipulated by Beijiu Po, and put soul-devouring poison in the materials he refined the sword.

As a result, not long after the old emperor used the sword, he felt dizzy and weak every day, and his spirit was not as good as day by day. As a result, the imperial physician diagnosed that he had been poisoned by the Soul Eater.

This poison is colorless and odorless, and the monks who have been poisoned will not feel it at all, and the soul of the poisoned person will dissipate little by little over time.

The old emperor himself has reached the Spirit Emperor in his own cultivation, but the poison of the soul devouring on the sword almost killed him, and in the end, the ridiculous thing is that it is the reason why Beijiu Po found out, after Bei Jiupo's answer, the old emperor was furious after knowing the truth, and immediately sent Bei Jiupo to lead a group of powerful masters to kill Beijiu Mountain.

But Beijiu Mountain, who had already heard the wind in advance, had already taken the lead in escaping, but he was still discovered by the officers and soldiers of the empire, and finally he was forced to the edge of a hole called the Grim Reaper on the Hualing Star.

The Cave of the Reaper was pitch black, with no light, and it is said that everyone who entered it died inside, because no one had ever entered and then came out.

At that time, he was very angry and asked why this was happening, otherwise he would not have died. He didn't understand that the leader who came to arrest him turned out to be his most trusted good brother in the past, Bei Jiupo, and it was also the sword-matched soul-devouring poison he pointed out to the old emperor.

Bei Jiupo is his good buddy who has played since he was a child and walked out of a village, and he has too many things he doesn't understand and is unwilling.
