Xu Chenglin's injuries were not very serious, and after returning to the inn in the city to recuperate for less than a day, he walked out alive again. The sky was not yet fully light, and a hazy darkness still hung over the land. A faint hint of orange light blurred the distant sky, and for a moment the darkness seemed to recede a lot. The orange glow in the distance darkened, and the surrounding sky gradually changed color. After a while, the sky in the distance turned red, orange on the outside of red, and green on the outside. The brilliance seems to come to life, flowing in the air like flowing water. As the light shone over the earth, the darkness melted completely, and the flowing brilliance in the sky melted into the blinding white light, and the day dawned.

As if agreed, the closed shops on the street began to open their doors, and the scattered vendors in the distance began to support their stalls. A new day began, Xu Chenglin's heart was warm when he saw this quiet and harmonious picture, and the coldness outside his body seemed to be dispelled a little.

After a while, the streets were filled with pedestrians. Walking among the crowds, Xu Chenglin forgot his identity as a cultivator and leisurely enjoyed the tranquility of the mundane world.

Drinking wine and eating food, life is not too comfortable. A few hours passed quietly, and Xu Chenglin stretched his waist greatly. He got up and walked out of the tavern and walked towards the teahouse not far away.

Above the teahouse, a huge flag is waving in the wind, and the huge tea word can still be clearly seen from afar. In the eyes of most people, there is only one tea word on the flag. And in the eyes of some special people, there are two rows of special words shining with spiritual light under the huge tea word. These special people are monks, and this special aura is also for the monks to see.

The banner is written and practiced, and the Taoist friends stop walking.

Xu Chenglin stepped into the teahouse and saw that there were few guests in the teahouse. The shopkeeper was dozing off on the tea table, and the shopkeeper of the teahouse was diligently calculating the accounts. Seeing that a guest came in, the shopkeeper stopped the abacus in his hand and beckoned the shopkeeper to hurry up to welcome the customer.

"It's not an honor for you to come!"

The shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him diligently, and Xu Chenglin waved his hand slightly to rebuke the second. Taking two steps forward, Xu Chenglin came to the shopkeeper of the teahouse.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know if it's true what is written on the flag outside?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"I wonder what your guest is referring to?"

"Cultivation assembly, Taoist friends stop!"

Xu Chenglin didn't speak, but his voice came clearly into the ears of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's body trembled, and he hurriedly walked out of the counter and bowed deeply to Xu Chenglin.

"Distinguished guests, please go upstairs!"

Xu Chenglin nodded and walked up to the second floor, only to see that there were already many people gathered on the second floor. These people are talking to each other, and the voices of high talk are endless. Such a loud noise was not heard at all downstairs. Obviously, the layout of the second floor is not simple, and it seems that there is a soundproof array and other magic circles to isolate sound. Xu Chenglin glanced at the people on the second floor and judged that they were all cultivators.

did not make too much noise, Xu Chenglin quietly blended into the crowd. After only listening to a few words, he understood the content of the communication between several people. These people were exchanging cultivation experience, but the experience they exchanged was only the sixth-level stage of the forging stage. Seeing that he couldn't get anything, Xu Chenglin continued to move closer to the center of the second floor.

The center had the least number of people, only three. One of the three of them was talking about his cultivation experience, one was talking about his own cultivation experience, and the other was looking around a little bored. The cultivation of the three of them was the highest on the second floor, and they all reached the tenth floor of the calcined body.

Xu Chenglin walked towards the three of them and hugged his fist slightly at the three of them. The two of them glanced at Xu Chenglin and found that the other party was just a teenager who was less than Double Ten, so they flashed aside with interest and continued to communicate. Xu Chenglin frowned, a little unclear.

"Brother, ignore them! That's how the two of them look, looking down on us juniors. ”

Xu Chenglin tilted his head slightly, and saw someone smiling at him.

Only that person was dressed in white, with an extraordinary appearance, holding a book in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, and his bearing was very different from the people around him, so a handsome gentleman.

"In Xia Xu Chenglin, I don't know what to call you?"

Xu Chenglin clenched his fists slightly and smiled back at the other party.

"In the lower scattered cultivation of Liu Zhongyuan!"

Liu Zhongyuan's sleeves shook, and the thing in his hand disappeared. Facing Xu Chenglin, he returned the salute.

"If we are in the current realm, crossing the condensation qi is just a barrier-breaking pill. Even if we exchange cultivation experience, we can't make progress, so why don't we exchange cultivation skills?"

Hearing that Liu Zhongyuan wanted to exchange cultivation skills, Xu Chenglin was also interested.

"Brother Liu's words are exactly what I want, the younger brother is only a shallow learner, and he has never communicated with others, so it is better to invite Brother Liu to come first. ”

"In that case, then I'll throw bricks and stones. ”

Liu Zhongyuan smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation with one hand. Xu Chenglin looked in the direction and saw a stone table surrounded by several stone chairs, and a pot of spiritual tea on the stone table was steaming.

Xu Chenglin understood, and the two sat down in front of the stone table. Smiling slightly, Liu Zhongyuan began to talk.

"Among the cultivation skills, I dare not say that I am proficient in the formation and talisman making, but I still have a lot of experience in studying it for a long time, and this formation and talisman making have a lot in common......

Maybe it was talking about his area of expertise, and Liu Zhongyuan said it for nearly half an hour in one breath. Quietly, Xu Chenglin had already finished heating the spiritual tea again. Just as Liu Zhongyuan was talking about a dry throat, a cup of spiritual tea was handed to Liu Zhongyuan.

"Let Brother Xu laugh, I will forget about this, and please ask Brother Xu to give me advice. ”

"Of course, Brother Liu, please drink the spiritual tea and rest for a while, so that the younger brother can make a fool of himself. ”

"Brother Xu is too modest. ”

With a polite sentence, Liu Zhongyuan took the spiritual tea and looked at Xu Chenglin.

Cheng Lin smiled slightly, sorted out his thoughts, and began to express some of his opinions on cultivation skills.

"Among the cultivation skills, only the refining weapon is slightly involved, especially the material refining and study time, of course, refining ordinary magic weapons can also be done. Let me start with the material refining ......"

Xu Chenglin's explanation was also close to half an hour, and Liu Zhongyuan nodded again and again while listening, and praised from time to time when he heard the key points.

"Wonderful, Brother Xu is really humble. Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, it seems that brother, you are quite good at refining weapons. ”

"Don't dare, Brother Liu is a talent. I know both formation and talisman making, both of which I couldn't ask for. ”

The two of you praised each other word by word, and didn't take anyone else into account at all.

"Haha, it's not that I'm boasting, if my alchemy technique can be on a par with the formation talisman, I can even refine the array disc and talisman with the power of the condensation period in the refining period. It's a pity......"

Speaking of this, Liu Zhongyuan's face was helpless, and at the same time, he looked at Xu Chenglin with some expectation.

"Whether this guy is true or not, it feels a bit exaggerated. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity?"

The question in Xu Chenglin's heart didn't care about Liu Zhongyuan's gaze. Before the question in his heart could be asked, someone around him answered.

"It's a pity that this guy doesn't know how to refine weapons, and this icy Shuobing City can't find a refiner who meets his requirements. ”

"A refiner who meets the requirements?"

Xu Chenglin looked at the people talking around him, and saw that the other party was a big man in a fur coat. The big man nodded, and then spoke.

"This guy needs an alchemist who is good at controlling flames and is proficient in material refining to work with him. But this is icy and snowy, where to find a refiner. ”

"Why is this happening? Aren't there such alchemists everywhere?"

"How can it be? You must know that one side of the water and soil raises the other side, the temperature of this ice and snow is extremely low, what kind of fire is playing? The refiners here are all based on local materials and use the water refining method. ”

When Xu Chenglin heard it, he felt that this was the truth, and he had also seen this water refining method in the book, but he couldn't help but be a little curious when he didn't see the actual operation. As if thinking of something, Xu Chenglin clenched his hands into fists and handed them to Liu Zhongyuan. In the other party's confusion, he slowly opened his fists, and two faint flames appeared in the palm of his hand. After cultivating the Five Elements Dao Technique, Void Condensation Fire was no longer a difficult thing for him.

"Brother Liu, do you think this is okay?"

Liu Zhongyuan paused for a moment, but then laughed.

"That's good, follow me!"

Liu Zhongyuan grabbed Xu Chenglin's arm, got up and walked to a place.

The two of them went to a row of separate rooms, and when they entered, they gently closed the door. The moment the door closed, a layer of formation instantly activated, isolating the inside of the house from the outside.

After a few moments of conversation in the room, the two finally came to an agreement. Xu Chenglin helped Liu Zhongyuan refine the array plate talisman, and Liu Zhongyuan helped Cheng Lin refine a set of defensive formations and talismans, but he needed to bring his own materials. At the same time, Liu Zhongyuan will also find a good secret book for Xu Chenglin to refine the water refining method.

"Brother Xu, since it has been agreed, why don't we meet in front of the Frozen Fang City tomorrow?"

"It's okay, and when the time comes, I'll ask Brother Liu to take the younger brother to see it!"

"Haha, that's natural, I'll be waiting for Brother Xu in front of the Fang City at that time. ”

"Then I'm going to bother Brother Liu!" The younger brother took his leave first. ”

After bidding farewell to Liu Zhongyuan, Xu Chenglin returned to the inn. The decision to cooperate with Liu Zhongyuan this time was not his temporary idea. When Liu Zhongyuan said that he was good at formation and talisman making, Xu Chenglin already had the idea of cooperating with him to refine the array talisman. The power of the large formation is huge, complex and changeable, and it is difficult to reduce and carry. However, some magic circles with little power can be combined with the art of refining weapons to make an array plate and carry it around. Most of the talismans produced in the early stage of talisman making are paper talismans, which can only be consumed once, and once they are made, they can be used many times.

If these two are used properly, they are no less powerful than a high-level magic weapon. Instead of spending a lot of money to get a high-level magic weapon, it is better to try refining the array disk talisman, and even if it fails, it will only cost some materials. It is clear at a glance which is superior and which is inferior.

The sunset and sunrise were another day, and Xu Chenglin rushed to the Frozen Fang City in Shuo Ice City early. In front of Fang City, Liu Zhongyuan was already waiting for Xu Chenglin.

"Brother Liu has been waiting for a long time, and the little brother is ashamed!"

"Where, I've just arrived. Let's go to the Fang City, buy all the materials as soon as possible, and refine them early!"

"That's what Brother Liu said. ”

At first glance, the city is full of glittering igloos, in which various trading items are placed, and stall owners sit in the houses and take care of their goods. The igloo is like a piece of crystal jade, reflecting colorful colors under the illumination of the light, and decorating the entire frozen city with mysterious colors.

The two of them made a purchase, and the materials for refining the array plate and the talisman were all ready. Xu Chenglin took this opportunity to get a lot of ice cube flowers, but he didn't find the blood ginseng needed for refining his body.

"Brother Liu, I don't know why I can't find blood ginseng in Fang City?"

"Blood ginseng? This thing is also rare in Shuo Ice City, and it is not common in the market. ”

Hearing Liu Zhongyuan's words, Xu Chenglin couldn't help frowning a little. Seeing his expression, Liu Zhongyuan smiled and continued to speak.

"Brother Xu doesn't have to be like this, let's go to the ghost market after the market is over. There will definitely be one there, but the price will be higher. ”

"That being the case, when the time comes, I will bother Brother Liu to lead the way. ”

Xu Chenglin hugged his fist towards Liu Zhongyuan, revealing a kind smile.

"Haha, Brother Xu is polite, how can I worry about trivial matters. ”

Liu Zhongyuan also returned the salute with a smile.
