Just as the guy was trying his best to recommend Yuan Ming, another person walked in outside the bookstore. "Have you arrived with the book I want?" The man was obviously familiar with the fellow, and before he could enter the door, he opened his mouth and shouted.

"It's here, it's here, it's ready for you." The guy immediately gave up Yuan Ming and responded enthusiastically.

Yuan Ming was slightly stunned when he heard that voice, and then turned his head to look at the man, seeing his fair and round face, thick eyebrows and bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"Zhao Tong." Hearing Yuan Ming's greeting, the man also followed the sound and looked over, first stunned, and then a smile overflowed.

"Haha, Yuan Ming, is your kid still alive? The smile on Zhao Tong's face couldn't be faked, and he was sincerely happy.

He directly ignored the guy who came up, walked up to Yuan Ming in two steps, grabbed his shoulders with both hands and looked him up and down, and suddenly sighed, "I heard that our sect has served it to people?"

"Dawnbreak did it." Yuan Ming nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

When Zhao Tong heard this, he didn't have a sad look, but showed a look of embarrassment, and sighed: "The so-called lost east, harvested mulberry elm, was degraded and frustrated back then, but I didn't expect to pick up a small life in vain. It's just that I can't go back when I come out......

"Brother Zhao, the Ji people have their own natural appearance. Sensei went back, and it was not much like a ruin now. After the Dawn Scattering Alliance has looted, I'm afraid that there will be other forces and various scattered cultivators to pick up some leftovers, and I don't know whose territory it is now." Yuan Ming said.

Although the shopkeeper is not a cultivator, after all, he lives in this market, and he also knows some things about the cultivation sect, especially the destruction of Biluo Cave, one of the five major sects, which has been spread in Black Rock City.

Just listening to the conversation between Yuan Ming and the two, he didn't dare to interject.

After a period of embarrassment, Zhao Tong suddenly turned his head and said to the guy, "Where is my book, is it wrapped?"

His words turned too fast, one moment he was still sad about the collapse of the sect, and the next moment he was urging for a book, so that the guy didn't react at once, and stammered:

"Also, I haven't had time to wrap it yet, so I'll wrap it for you......

The guy hurriedly trotted back to the counter, took a piece of brown paper, wrapped a copy of "Yupu Yuan" and "Jinping Orchid" in Central Plains characters, and hugged him.

"Your Seven Steps of Poetry and Autumn Speech." The guy respectfully handed it over.

He really regarded these books as a subset of scriptures...... The corners of Yuan Ming's mouth twitched.

"This person, no matter what is immortal, is to read more, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is more heaven in the book, where the heart goes, and where the realm goes."

Zhao Tong didn't blush, and took it without a beat, muttering something in his mouth, and paid the money quickly.

Yuan Ming felt that his southern Xinjiang version of "Children's Tales" was quite commemorative, so he also spent money to buy it.

"You like to read fables?" This move caused Zhao Tong to be surprised for a while, and there was a bit of ridicule in his tone.

"It's better than you prefer adult classics." Yuan Ming bit the words "adult classics" extremely hard.

"Brother Yuan, it seems that you and I are among the same people, why don't you go and have a drink." Zhao Tong smiled, put his arm around Yuan Ming's shoulder, and went out.

In the mountain treasure building.

Yuan Ming and Zhao Tong sat opposite each other, and the latter also brought Gu Yue together, and the three of them drank and laughed.

During this period, everyone didn't mention the matter of Biluo Cave, but just talked about some interesting things about the immortal cultivation world in southern Xinjiang.

"What are you going to do next?" At the end, Yuan Ming asked about Zhao Tong's plans.

"Me? I'm used to being idle, and I used to read books in the sect. Now that the shop has been taken over by the owner of the market, I'll do a casual repair first, the time here is soft, and the years are entwined, which is quite to my liking." Zhao Tong smiled and said.

"I heard that the southern Xinjiang side may have to reopen trade with the Central Plains, especially the Great Jin Dynasty, this is an opportunity for the two of us, and there will be a lot of business to do in the future. Cultivating immortals, the first thing to cultivate is wealth!" Gu Yue said.

"Yes, accumulate grain, and if you have enough food, you will become immortal." Zhao Tong shook his head

The ground echoed the road.

"The resumption of commerce and trade means that the official trading channels are about to be opened?" Yuan Ming asked.

In fact, the business exchanges between the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang have not been completely severed, but they are just private business activities against the background of official prohibition, which can be counted as smuggling.

"Not bad. I've heard that some of the post roads have been rebuilt." Gu Yue nodded.

"In this case, if you go to Dajin, you only need to take the original post road to go back?" Yuan Ming was immediately overjoyed.

"Not yet...... After all, the treaty port has been closed for too long, and if it is restarted, not to mention the process of rebuilding the system, it is to rebuild some post facilities, and it will not be able to come down in a year." Gu Yue thought about it and said.

"Brother Yuan, with your current strength, why rush back to the Great Jin, in the Great Jin Immortal Cultivation Realm, you are helpless and a casual cultivator, it is better for us to live here together and take care of each other." Zhao Tong also added on the side.

"Yes, Brother Yuan think about it. As long as you buy a property in Black Rock City, you don't have to pay for the spirit stones that come in and out every time, and there are Qing Diaspora people living here, and your safety is guaranteed." Gu Yue continued.

"Thank you both, my parents are alive and well, and I miss home now." Yuan Ming replied when he heard this.

Gu Yue didn't say anything, and immediately took out a map made of buffalo leather from his sleeve and pointed it out to Yuan Ming.

After they had eaten and drunk, it was already dark, and the three of them parted.

Yuan Ming rushed to the Fire Refining Master's side.

It was the bald man who received him, but his attitude was a little better than when he met for the first time.

"Refining lined soft armor, this is no problem, you bring your own materials, or do we provide us?" The bald man thought for a moment and then asked.

"I have it myself." Yuan Ming said.

With that, with a flick of his wrist, all the spiritual materials appeared on the table.

Among them, the main material is the animal skin of the Golden Flower Poison Python King and the Snake Queen, and there are also some special materials collected by Yuan Ming, which have been compatible, and the specific refining depends on what the fire refining master says.

"The materials are well prepared, and some auxiliary materials used by fire refining masters may be added in the refining process later, plus the refining fee, a total of fifteen spirit stones, and ten deposits will be paid first." The bald man said.

As always, it is expensive, but the quality is guaranteed.

"Money is not a problem, but I don't know when the Fire Refining Master will be able to refine it?" Yuan Ming asked.

The bald man thought for a moment when he heard this, took out a booklet for bookkeeping, and after reading it for a while, he gave the answer:

"Eight days later."

"Eight days of refining?" Yuan Ming was surprised.

"Naturally, it won't take eight days to really refine, but the fire refining master has been full of work in the past few days, your inner lining soft armor can be refined in the evening after seven days, and you can pick up the goods on the eighth day." The bald man said.

"Okay." Yuan Ming thought about it and nodded.

With that, he took out another object and placed it on the table.

"A high-grade magic weapon?" The bald man has also seen the world and recognizes it at a glance.

On the table was the gossip mirror that he had obtained from Elder Mengshan earlier.

In the previous hasty refining, the mirror surface was broken by Elder Mengshan's blow, but fortunately, the injury was not too serious, and it should be able to be repaired.

In addition to this gossip mirror afterwards, Yuan Ming also obtained a pair of black hook claws and an emerald green dagger that he had used from Elder Mengshan's storage ring, both of which were medium-grade magic weapons, one was called Wushan Claw, and the other was called Short Cui Dagger, both of which were quenching magic weapons.

In addition, he also obtained some healing and cultivation pills that could be used by monks in the foundation building period, as well as more than two hundred lower-grade spirit stones and three medium-grade spirit stones.

"Yes, this is a top-grade defensive magic weapon, I wonder if the Fire Refining Master can repair it?" Yuan Ming asked.

"This...... You have to let the Fire Refining Master see it for himself. Wait a minute, I'll show it to him." The bald man hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left with the gossip mirror.

After a short time, the bald man returned, bringing the answer of the fire refining master

Complex:

"If the damage is not heavy, it can still be repaired, the same, it will be taken in eight days."

"I'm a little puzzled, since the Fire Refining Master can repair high-grade magic weapons, why should he be confined to only refining low-grade magic weapons?" Yuan Ming wondered.

"This is a matter of the Fire Refining Master, I don't know, and I can't give you an answer." The bald man shook his head. "Okay."

Yuan Ming reluctantly paid the deposit for the two magic weapons and turned to leave.

Now that he was going to stay in this Black Rock City for a few days, he was not in a hurry to leave, and immediately found an inn with a quiet environment in the Fang City to settle down.

In one of the houses in the deepest part of the inn's courtyard, the lights were bright.

Yuan Ming was holding an incense burner with a homemade black incense sticking on it, which had not yet been lit.

After some hesitation, he chose between his father and Hagon's daughter Tuya.

is about to leave southern Xinjiang, and if there is anything else in my heart that I can't rest assured, that is, Hagong's wife and daughter.

This can be regarded as the last bond of the first friend he made after he first embarked on the immortal journey.

Thinking back to what he did at that time seemed to Xiying to be a hero's reckless behavior, he also realized afterwards that in the immortal cultivation world, if he didn't have absolute strength, acting impulsively would not only be useless, but would only increase casualties.

However, at that time, he was already entrusted by others, and he also hoped to do what he could, so as not to affect his state of mind in his future practice.

If Yuan Ming was willing to spend the effort to find them, he would definitely be able to find them, but he didn't want to do so.

He wasn't sure what kind of life the mother and daughter were living now, or whether he should be in front of them again and disturb their lives.

Therefore, the possession of the spirit has become the best way.

After making up his mind, Yuan Ming lit the black incense, his eyes closed slightly, and he sketched Tuya's immature little face in his mind, and called her name softly in his mouth.

After a while, green smoke rose up, and Yuan Ming's vision began to blur.

"Tuya, Tuya, it's time to eat......," the woman's voice shouted.

Yuan Ming's eyes lit up, and a small room with a small area but clean and tidy appeared in front of him.

"Got it, come right away." The girl's immature voice sounded.

Yuan Ming confirmed that his attempt was successful and had been possessed by Tuya's body.

At this time, Tuya's gaze moved downward, and Yuan Ming saw that she was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

In front of her, there was also a slightly yellowed piece of paper, on which she was familiar with, and what was recorded was the cultivation mantra of "Biluo Gong".
