"Golden ...... Big brother, are you crying? ”

Back on the fishing boat, Ye Li couldn't help but be stunned when he saw his tears that had not dried up.

"I'm fine, the wind blew into the ...... Eye...... A grain of sand. Jin Yan said incoherently.

The "mantra" system deducts mantra value in the background.

"I felt him, he ...... Very strong. Ye Li said.

This he refers to is naturally the blood lotus.

"Hmm." Jin Yan wiped the tears from his face and rowed the boat to make the fishing boat sail north quickly. At dusk, the fishing boats returned to the port of Nanshui Port.

On the way, they also met a group of troop carriers, which were soldiers from the Northern Jin Kingdom, bound for the barbarian mountain ghost department. Knowing that the blood spirit sect of the Mountain Ghost Department was greatly damaged, the Northern Jin Kingdom took the opportunity to attack.

Originally, he had obtained a large amount of expensive Immersion Iron, and Jin Yan was ready to use the special ability of the Bronze Statue to return to Blue Star. However, it suddenly occurred to him that if he wanted to forge an iron weapon, he would need a substance similar to a fire spirit stone to be able to produce a high enough temperature. And that kind of fire essence stone, at present, Blue Star has not yet been discovered. Then you can only get it from this otherworld.

After mooring the ship at Nanshui Port, Jin Yan took Ye Li to the local weapons smith's shop. Based on the last experience of getting muskets and fire essence powder, this kind of thing is often found in the craftsman's shop and weapon shop.

The place where Nanshui Port is located, named Nanshui Immortal Township, is one of the sixteen immortal townships under the Northern Jin Kingdom, and the scale is roughly equivalent to the county or district on the Blue Star.

The two went to the local weaponsmith's shop to explain their intentions. But the shopkeeper told them that as early as four or five years ago, all kinds of firearms, muskets, fire thunder, and fire essence stone powder had been sold out, and there was no replenishment later. Moreover, the weapons shops and craftsmen in various places are basically like this.

These words made Jin Yan's heart cool by half.

"Shopkeeper, please point me out, if there is no one in the smith's shop, where should I get one?" Jin Yan gave a few boxes of cigarettes as gifts to win favor.

"Little brother, I won't tell you anything, the corresponding firearms and fire essence stone powder of the entire Northern Jin Kingdom have been consumed in the war with the Blood Spirit Sect over the years. Firearms and those things were all produced during Emperor Ling's reign, and after Emperor Ling's disappearance, they were no longer produced, and one less was lost for one. As for the Fire Spirit. The shopkeeper was also very regretful, "In the entire Northern Jin Kingdom, if there is really a place where there is hope to get the Fire Spirit Stone, it is in the Black Rock Immortal Township." Heiyan Immortal Township is rich in iron ore, and sometimes there will be fire essence stone to accompany it. If you're lucky, you might be able to run into it. ”

Black Rock Immortal Township.

Jin Yan and the others hired a carriage and rushed there, arriving just in time for dusk.

Black Rock Immortal Township is located in the mountains of the Lingshan Mountain Range, and the terrain is like a huge basin. In this basin, the geology is mostly iron ores, so the whole is black. More than a dozen villages under the jurisdiction of Xianxiang are all mining villages, relying on the mining of ordinary iron ore and refined iron ore to make a living.

Looking at the past under the sunset, within the mountains of hundreds of kilometers around the entire Xianxiang, more than a dozen immortal villages are distributed among them, and there are countless large and small mining holes.

When they arrived, they first found an inn to stay in. After settling in, while having dinner on the first floor of the inn, I asked the innkeeper for news of the Fire Spirit. Unfortunately, even the well-informed innkeeper said that he hadn't seen the Fire Spirit Stone mined nearby for a long time. I heard that sometimes a few pieces of other villages were mined from time to time, but they were immediately snapped up.

The next day, they walked around, repeatedly searching for fire essence stones in Xianxiang and Xiancun within the mountain range, but unfortunately they had no results.

Black Iron Immortal Village is a well-known place for the manufacture of fine iron weapons under Xianxiang, and it is also the last immortal village on their trip. It is indeed different from other immortal villages, this place is mainly about making weapons, not just mining.

There is a weapon street in Xiancun, where there are more than 20 craftsmen's shops, and the sound of all kinds of iron casting is endless. The two of them went over one by one to look for the fire spirit stone. Unfortunately, nothing has been found.

The penultimate blacksmith shop at the end of the street hangs a signboard of "Tang Family Fine Iron". There was a middle-aged blacksmith in the shop striking a piece of red-hot iron, which clanked and sparks flew everywhere. The middle-aged blacksmith was about forty-four or five years old, with a chubby face, a scruffy beard, and a very strong body. He was so skilled in casting that in a moment a long bar of fine iron turned into the blade of a long knife in his hand.

"This uncle, may I ask if there are fire essence stones for sale in your store?" Jin Yan asked politely.

"Nope." The middle-aged blacksmith replied angrily, and placed the reddish blade in the water for quenching.

"Then where is it possible to buy Fire Essence Stone? We urgently need it. Jin Yan said.

"Now in the entire Northern Jin Kingdom, there is basically no fire essence stone to be found." The middle-aged blacksmith glanced up at them, but when he saw Ye Li's face, he suddenly froze.

"Like ...... It seems like...... No, it can't be, I think too much......" He shook his head, came to his senses, and continued to do his job.

"This uncle, may I ask what you are talking about?" Jin Yan sensitively sensed that something was wrong and asked.

"This little brother next to you is very similar to a brother I knew many years ago." The middle-aged blacksmith said, "But it's impossible, the two brothers and the couple are already dead, and it is impossible to leave an offspring." It's that I'm thinking too much. ”

Looks like Ye Li? Excuse me, how ugly is that brother of yours?

There are many handsome people who look alike, but there are very few who can still look like each other if they look so ugly and weird.

Jin Yan felt even more strange, glanced at Ye Li, and then asked tentatively, "Uncle, what's your brother's surname?" What is your name? ”

The middle-aged blacksmith's face changed. He looked out the door to make sure there was no one nearby, and then whispered, "The surname is Ye." ”

Now it was Ye Li's turn to face changed, and his face changed greatly.

The appearance is ugly and similar, and the same surname is Ye. He couldn't help but make more associations.

"Don't say, don't say." The middle-aged blacksmith suddenly closed the door of the shop, "Here, don't say much about everything. You want the Fire Spirit Stone, don't you, wait until I'm done packing my things and come with me. He began to pack up the contents of the shop, bundling up all sorts of fine iron and weapons into his boundary stone ring. Then he began to pack up his soft belongings.

Well? Jin Yan probed the authenticity of the other party's words while making a look at Ye Li.

"Uncle, how can you make us believe you like this, we don't know your name, where you come from, and where are you going, how can we go with you?" Ye Li said.

"If your surname is Ye, then your parents must have mentioned someone to you." The middle-aged blacksmith's face was very calm, "That person's name is Tang Xiaoyu." ”

"And I'm Tang Xiaoyu."
