Chapter 290: Inch by Inch
It's night.
As soon as Lei Kuo returned to his residence, he immediately took out the water crown tree spirit wood that he had photographed today, carefully cut it out about one-tenth of it, ground it into powder, and mixed it with other incense-making materials: and added the incense ash of Zhenling Sect, and soon made a new black incense.
Then, he took out the stealing Tianding, inserted the finished black incense, calmed down, and tried to possess Sha Hao.
Not long after, Yuan Ming's vision changed, and he once again possessed Sha Hao.
However, the surrounding scenery did not change at all from when he was possessed before, and Sha Hao was still sitting in the stone house and cultivating silently as if he had taken root in his legs.
Yuan Ming had long been accustomed to such a scene, and he was not impatient, but as usual, he silently sensed the flow of spiritual power in Sha Hao's body.
Half an hour later, just when Yuan Ming thought that this time he would also return in vain, Sha Hao suddenly opened his eyes, took out a porcelain bottle from the storage bag, and poured it into his palm, but nothing came out.
"Hey, it's gone so soon? It seems that this time I have to go to the market to buy a little more. Sha Hao muttered.
Then he got up and walked out of the stone house.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Ming was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly concentrated his mind and took advantage of Sha Hao's outing to observe the surrounding scenery.
Where Sha Hao is located, it seems to be a remote mountain range, surrounded by ancient trees, and there are birds and beasts roaring from time to time, but there is nothing special about it.
When he left the cave where he lived, he took out a token and raised it, and then he set off in a flying boat.
Along the way, Yuan Ming never saw anything that could determine Sha Hao's location, and his originally calm mood gradually set off some waves.
Miss this opportunity, and the next time you bump into Sha Hao, I don't know when it will be.
Yuan Ming was anxious, but he didn't have any means that could affect Sha Hao, so he could only pray silently that the Fang City where Sha Hao was going was not far away.
His prayers didn't work, and the Fang City that Sha Hao chose to go to didn't seem to be close to where he was hiding, but fortunately, due to the addition of a thousand-year-old water crown wood to the new incense, his possession lasted much longer than before.
I don't know how long it took, Yuan Ming finally saw a city appear in the distance, and as the distance got closer, Yuan Ming found that the architectural style of the city was completely different from Leizhou and even the entire Great Jin Dynasty.
And as Sha Hao lowered the flying boat, Yuan Ming also saw the plaque on the city gate, which said the name of the city - Moon City.
Before entering the city, Sha Hao deliberately disguised himself, and after entering the city, he also went straight to the shop that sold pills, and did not contact anyone else halfway, which can be said to have taken the four words of caution to the extreme.
However, attached to him, Yuan Ming saw the shops and pedestrians he passed by along the way.
On the street, the monks who came and went were all dressed in brocade clothes and hung various magic weapons on their waists, and the slang of Zhao Guo occasionally popped up during the conversation.
The shop signs on the side of the road are lined with slender lines and rounded outlines, which is also the characteristic of the Zhao script.
And the most important thing is that among the shops Sha Hao passed by, there was a huge sign hanging outside the door of one of the shops, which read:
"Our store is new to the Northern Desert sandworm, and I want to buy it as soon as possible."
In this way, Mochizuki City should be a city in the north of Zhao Kingdom.
Yuan Ming made an inference in his heart, and at the same time, Sha Hao also walked through the street and stepped into the pill shop.
And at this moment, Yuan Ming's possession time also happened to be exhausted.
Two days later.
In a box in the Sixiang Teahouse, Yuan Ming met the refiner recommended by Song Huitong as he wished.
To his surprise, this person turned out to be the master Xu Xinyang at the auction.
Song Huitong noticed Yuan Ming's surprised eyes, and explained with a smile: "In terms of the skill of refining the best magic weapon alone, Master Xu is the number one figure in the entire Zhao Kingdom, and even I have a magic weapon on my body, which is promoted from the best magic weapon he refined. ”
"Senior Song falsely praised me for this refining skill, but in fact, it is not very useful, and I am a little ashamed to be called a master." Xu Xinyang waved his hand and said in a rough voice.
"Most of the best magic weapons refined by Master Xu can be upgraded to magic weapons, and even many Daoist friends are eager to use them, how can it be said that they are useless?" Song Huitong said.
"Alas, Senior Song also knows that my cultivation talent is limited, and it is difficult to be promoted to the Jie Dan, no matter how high the level of refining is and if I can refine the best magic weapon, I will be able to reach the sky, I can't refine the magic weapon, I can't spy on the scenery of a higher level, and I really can't be considered a master." Xu Xinyang shook his head.
"I remember, didn't Master Xu come up with an idea that the fifth rune could be balanced and fused with the other four runes to form a pseudo-rune array and directly refine the magic weapon. Won't this path work? Song Huitong asked.
"That's only theoretically feasible, but in practice it's very difficult, with my research over the years, I have tried more than ten times, but I have not succeeded. It seems that in addition to the Dan Fire cultivation in the body of the Cultivator, I am afraid that there is no good way to alleviate the conflict and rejection between the five runes, and my thoughts are just empty talk. Alas, let's not talk about it, you invited me this time, saying that you want to introduce me to a fellow talent, but this is it? Xu Xinyang smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Yuan Ming immediately bowed his hand and said, "In Xia Hagon, I have seen Master Xu. ”
"Master Xu, you should have heard of his name in the past few days, he fought Pu Zhengqing bloodily and saved my apprentices, but he also lost most of the magic weapons, I didn't want to go, I found you, I don't know if the master can sell me a face, and help him upgrade a high-grade magic weapon in his hand to the best." Song Hui said.
Xu Xinyang stared at Yuan Ming for a moment, and shook his head: "Senior Song, it's not that I don't want to give you this face, it's really that I still have a superb magic weapon waiting to be refined recently, and I can't vacate it for the time being, in this way, the store under my name is opened in Zhao Guoyu Hecheng, it is my eldest brother who is running it, his craftsmanship is not bad, and he has also refined a few superb magic weapons, Hagong Daoyou can go to him for help, saying that I let you go." ”
This is to refuse politely, Song Huitong sighed helplessly, she and Xu Xinyang do not have a deep friendship, and now it is not good to put on the style of her predecessors to force him to agree, you can only see if Yuan Ming has any way to convince him.
Hearing Xu Xinyang's words, although Yuan Ming was a little disappointed, he was also prepared, and immediately said: "Master Xu, I inadvertently obtained a rune in the early years, and I have not been able to figure out the origin and utility. ”
With that, Yuan Ming handed out a jade plate that had already been prepared.
Xu Xinyang knew that Yuan Ming wanted to use a rune as an exchange for refining, but he had been immersed in the way of refining for many years, and he had seen most of the runes in the world, so he didn't think that Yuan Ming could come up with any precious runes, so he just glanced at the jade plate casually, but this glance made him sit up straight in an instant.
He took the jade plate directly from Yuan Ming's hand, a pair of leopard eyes were swollen open, carefully observing the runes on the jade plate, looking at it as if he was fascinated, studying and pondering by himself, and even ignoring the past two people in the room.
The jade plate that Yuan Ming gave him was engraved with a corpse-controlling rune obtained from the portrait of the ancestor of Bayin, the lord of Iron Tiger Town.
After a long time, Xu Xinyang came back to his senses under Song Huitong's constant urging, and looked at Yuan Ming and the others in the room with some impatience, only then did he recall the topic just now, and said directly: "I haven't seen much of this rune of yours, and I still need to study and study it, so you can leave the magic weapon to be refined together, and when I finish researching, I will help you refine it by the way, you can put away this communication talisman, I will notify you in twenty days, come and get it." ”
Yuan Ming nodded, and took out the black needle, the dragon scales, and the white jade belt that had been shelved for a long time: "Master Xu, this black needle of mine has been refined once, you can help me add another armor-piercing rune, and this Jiaolong scale, if you can, please help me refine it into a superb shield, as well as this white jade belt, you can also help see if it can be repaired." ”
Xu Xinyang put down the jade plate and looked at Yuan Ming with an unkind face: "Daoist friends are inevitably too inch-inch, right?" ”
"Please bear with me." Yuan Ming said, and handed over another storage bag.
Xu Xinyang took the storage bag, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, as a master of refining, he had seen more spirit stones on weekdays, and a Zhuji wanted to use the spirit stones to move himself, it was really a fool's dream.
While thinking, he opened the storage bag, and when he saw the pile of bright spirit stones inside, he was instantly stunned.
After just a cursory count, he found that there were six thousand spirit stones in the bag.
"I don't know if the master will be satisfied, but it's only half here, and when the master finishes refining, he will immediately give the other half of the spirit stone to both hands." Yuan Ming arched his hand.
These spirit stones were almost all the spirit stones he could take out, and although he had made a lot of money through the Spirit Incense Shop over the years, most of them had been spent on buying pills to improve his cultivation.
But he didn't feel distressed at all, because the spirit stone could be earned again, but such an opportunity in front of him was to miss this village, and there may not be this shop, and he calculated that if the other party could agree, he would still make a lot of money according to the market value.
Xu Xinyang coughed twice and put away the storage bag: "Since Daoyou sincerely asks for it, I should help you with all my heart." ”
As he spoke, he put away the three things that Yuan Ming took out one by one, but when he arrived at the white jade belt, his eyes were slightly condensed, and then he took the belt in his hand and observed it repeatedly.
"Interestingly, using gems as a carrier of runes instead of non-weapons is also a way to avoid rune conflicts, but these gems... Is it Hayhuite? No, the speed at which the sea stone transmits spiritual power is not so fast, but... Where did Hagong Daoist find this magic weapon? The more Xu Xinyang looked at his eyes, the more puzzled he became, and in the end, he turned his head to Yuan Ming to ask about the origin of the magic weapon.
"I got it by killing an enemy while traveling in southern Xinjiang." Yuan Ming didn't hide it either.
