"If you need an appraisal fee, the master can just ask." Seeing this, Yuan Ming said.

"That's not necessary, this crimson horn contains powerful fire attribute spiritual power, I can't see what the origin is, I can only say that this thing is by no means inferior to the middle grade, and it may even be higher." Huo Lian waved his hand and said.

Yuan Ming was overjoyed in his heart, but even an old refiner like Fire Refining couldn't recognize the origin of the fiery red scimitar, and it seemed that he couldn't find out in a short period of time.

"I wonder if I can ask the master of fire refining to make a magic weapon with this thing?" He arched his hand.

"Using it to refine a low-grade magic weapon is simply a tyrannical thing, and the old man can't help you." Huo Lian shook his head and said.

Yuan Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Master of Fire Refining, I have seen the magic weapons you refine, the smelting, forging embryos, and the engraved talismans are all excellent, and they definitely meet the requirements of refining medium-grade magic weapons, why do you only refine low-grade magic weapons?" ”

"You also know refining weapons?" Huo Lian asked rhetorically.

"I know a little bit about it." Yuan Ming was vague.

"This matter involves my secrecy, so it is inconvenient to tell you." After glancing at Yuan Ming, Huo Lian shook his head and said.

"It's abrupt, and the Thousand Machine Mask will be entrusted to the Fire Refining Master." Yuan Ming apologized, put away the two materials, turned around and left the magic shop, but the sound of fire refining came from behind him.

"Little friend, if there is a good rune, remember to come to the old man again, the price will not disappoint."

"This breath symbol claims to be able to prevent the following cultivators' divine consciousness from peeping into the early stage of foundation building, it seems that this fire cultivation is not low!" Yuan Ming's footsteps paused slightly, and then he didn't look back, and continued to walk out, but secretly thought in his heart.

……

It was getting late, and half of the western sky was red, which should be a beautiful scenery full of red clouds, but unfortunately there were two big mountains around Black Rock City, covering most of the western sky, and only the red glow could be seen.

Yuan Ming looked at the sky, did not go back to the inn, and went to the south of Black Rock City.

He was actually quite interested in the Dispersal Alliance in Nanshi, but he was in a hurry to collect spiritual materials and had no time to take care of it, but now he didn't expect things to go surprisingly smoothly, and when he had a little leisure, he planned to take a look.

As a result, when I passed by the circular square in the center again, I saw a white-haired old Taoist priest wearing a shabby Taoist robe setting up a stall, but no one asked about it, and it seemed a little deserted.

There were no magic talismans on the stall, and there were no pill books, only one thing, an incense that exuded a faint fluctuation of spiritual power.

After some inquiry, he learned that the other party was from a small remote country in the Eastern Regions, and the incense he sold was not an ordinary incense stick, but a special thing called "spiritual incense".

The three types sold by this person were Qingxuan incense, which could increase the cultivation speed of cultivators in the Qi refining period, divine incense that helped nourish the soul, and true incense that could ward off ghosts and evil spirits.

The reason why it is not very popular is that on the one hand, there are not many people who burn incense when practicing here in southern Xinjiang, and on the other hand, the price is too expensive, just a bundle of thirty-six green incense sticks actually costs twenty spirit stones, each of which can maintain the appearance of two quarters of an hour, and the effect of auxiliary cultivation is far inferior to that of elixirs of the same price.

However, this old Taoist claimed that he was in urgent need of a large amount of spirit stones due to an accident, otherwise he would not sell incense in exchange for spirit stones, which means that this incense is still sold cheaply.

When Yuan Ming proposed that he wanted to try the effect before deciding, the old Taoist priest readily agreed.

Under the guidance of the old Tao, Yuan Ming tried and found that this incense was indeed effective, and immediately learned from Gu Yue to bargain with him, and finally bought all thirty bundles of Qingxuan incense at the price of fifteen spirit stones per bundle, and at the same time carried ten bundles of nourishing incense that were more expensive.

This time, Yuan Ming spent more than six hundred spirit stones in one go, but he was a little excited in his heart.

His qualifications are not good, but now that he has the Nine Yuan Jue and a large number of Pei Yuan Pills, as well as the complementarity of these Qingxuan Incense, the effect of the retreat will be greatly improved.

The white-haired old Taoist priest said with a smile that he had a relationship with Yuan Ming, reported himself as a "Xuanhua real person" at home, and gave Yuan Ming a dirty bronze token, so that Yuan Ming had time to pass by the Eastern Regions Xuanhua Temple and enter the temple with the token to find him to drink, so he packed his package and left by himself.

After Yuan Ming put away the token and incense, he didn't stay in place for long, and soon came to Nanshi.

The layout of the South City here is similar to that of the East City and the West City, but the buildings on both sides of the street are not shops, but the stations of the Scattered Alliance, covering different sizes, and there is a distance from each other, and the plaque hanging on the door reads "Cutting the Wind and Dispersing the Alliance", "Breaking the Army and Dispersing the Alliance" and so on.

At the gates of these Scattered Alliance stations stood people in strong suits, either two or four, all of whom looked very strong.

There is a red list hanging at the door of each building, which says what the family is good at, basically collecting spiritual materials, hunting fierce beasts, guarding bodyguards, and so on.

Compared with the East City and the West City, the South City does not have many pedestrians at this time, and it seems a little deserted.

Yuan Ming walked forward slowly, his eyes sweeping over the scattered alliances on the side of the road.

He stopped abruptly and looked at the scattered alliance.

The people standing at the door turned out to be all faces from the Central Plains, and the name of the Scattered Alliance was also very Dajin style: "Hundred Battles and Scattered Alliance".

"It's unusual, could it be a scattered alliance formed by a Great Jin monk?" Yuan Ming said secretly.

Yuan Ming noticed that the Hundred Battles Disbanded Alliance, not only because of these, there was a notice on its list to recruit members, as long as the cultivation exceeded the sixth level of Qi refining, they could join.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen people gathered at the door, whispering to this recruitment notice, and it seemed that they were all about the disbanding of the alliance.

Yuan Ming listened for a moment and had a general understanding of the Hundred Battles Disbanding Alliance.

As he expected, the Hundred Battles Scattered Alliance is indeed a scattered alliance founded by the Great Jin Sanxiu, and it only entered Black Rock City this year, mainly doing reselling tasks, transporting the items of the Great Jin Dynasty to Southern Xinjiang, and will also transport the specialties of Southern Xinjiang back to the Great Jin Dynasty to make a profit.

It's more like a chamber of commerce than a scattered alliance.

Its leader is a foundation building period monk, and the strength of the members under his command is not weak, there are many masters of the eighth, ninth, and even tenth layers of qi refining, although it has only been a year since he entered Black Rock City, he has already made a lot of names.

Some time ago, when they returned to southern Xinjiang from the Great Jin Dynasty, they were in distress on the way and lost many members, so they openly recruited members.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he was a little moved.

The northern region of southern Xinjiang is far away from the Great Jin Dynasty, and it has to cross several regions of southern Xinjiang, and it may be difficult for him to go back on his own.

"The White Deer Hill Alliance is imminent, and it is not too late to consider joining the Hundred Battles Dispersal Alliance after participating in the Alliance." He thought about it, but still didn't step forward.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the surrounding crowd, and they all rushed forward, and words such as "so much reward" and "incredible" were faintly heard in front.

After Yuan Ming groaned slightly, he also followed.

The crowd stopped in front of a large and majestic building with a red roof and white walls, and a plaque on the gate with four vigorous and powerful characters in southern Xinjiang.

"White Night Dispersal Alliance......" Yuan Ming muttered to himself.

When Bai Rili and Gu Yue walked around Fang City, he also asked Gu Yue a little about the Scattered Alliance in Black Rock City, and learned the names of several famous Scattered Alliances, and the White Night Scattered Alliance was one of them.

Everyone was attracted over, also because of the red list of the White Night Dispersal Alliance, which also had a recruitment notice written on it, but it was a temporary member who was recruited, hunting a powerful beast, and the reward was very generous, and the maximum amount of five hundred spirit stones could be given according to performance.

The recruitment requirements are not low, and it is clearly stated that the cultivation must be above the eighth level of qi refining, and they must also pass the test of the White Night Dispersal Alliance before they can participate in this mission.

You must know that the tasks of Qi refining period cultivators recruited by the Ordinary Scattered Alliance are generally not bad to give five to ten spirit stones, and those who can give fifty spirit stones are generally tasks with extremely good pay.

Such a high-paying task is also extremely rare in Black Rock City, although many people do not believe or have a wait-and-see attitude, but from time to time one or two people from the crowd of onlookers still step out of the crowd and enter the White Night Scattered Alliance station.

Yuan Ming was also greatly moved, although he had more than a thousand spirit stones on his body at the moment, and he was considered rich among the monks of the same level, but if he wanted to improve his cultivation and strength faster, he could spend ten times more spirit stones in an instant.

He originally planned to go back to Biluo Cave and look for a way to make money, but he didn't expect to encounter a good task in Black Rock City, although the expression was not very clear, but he was just qualified enough, and he couldn't easily miss it.

And according to what Gu Yue said, the style of the White Night Dispersal Alliance is also quite decent and has no bad deeds, and this time it should not be a conspiracy to recruit people and hunt beasts on the street.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Yuan Ming stepped into the White Night Alliance.

Passing through the gate, a courtyard appeared in front of him, and he was stopped by two men in white suits.

"This fellow Daoist is going to participate in this beast hunting mission?" The tall thin man on the left stood with his hands in his hands, glanced at Yuan Ming, and asked.

This person's face was full of pockmarks, his skin was yellow, and he looked quite ugly, but his eyes were unusually bright, as if he was practicing some kind of exercise.

"Exactly." Yuan Ming replied.

"Daoist friends must have also seen the requirements to participate in the beast hunting mission, and you need to test your cultivation, don't blame it." The tall and thin man said.

Yuan Ming naturally nodded without an opinion.

Hearing this, the man on the right turned over and took out a crystal ball, aimed it at Yuan Ming, and pressed his other hand against the ball, and a little bit of crystal light began to appear on the surface of the ball.

Although Yuan Ming didn't feel anything unusual, there seemed to be a feeling in his heart that his body and mind were being watched by the other party.

A moment later, Yuan Ming's figure appeared in the sphere, and nine green lights and shadows were wrapped around his body, shining brightly.

Yuan Ming glanced at the crystal ball more, this thing can not only detect his cultivation, but also the attribute of the exercise, which is unusual.

"Daoyou's cultivation meets the requirements, please enter the inner hall and undergo the next round of testing." The tall and thin man said with a soft look in his eyes, gesturing to a hall in front of him.

Yuan Ming knew that the next test was the main thing, and the White Night Dispersal Alliance was not a big deal, since the high remuneration of five hundred spirit stones was offered, the personnel requirements must be extremely strict.
