Following.

Ye Kai went out early in the morning, looking for a place in the city to refine weapons for people.

Now that his materials are ready, he needs an excellent refiner to help.

After some inquiry, Ye Kai learned that there was a shop called Refining Pavilion in Hanshan City, and there was a second-level high-level refiner in the store, and his reputation was not bad.

Ye Kai has just arrived, he is not familiar with life, and he has no other good choice.

So, he didn't delay and went straight to the Refining Pavilion.

The location of the Refining Pavilion is relatively remote and not in the middle of the city.

Ye Kai asked many passers-by before finding him in a deep alley in the north of the city.

At first, he thought it was a little strange, but when he thought about it, he understood.

Alchemists, like alchemists, need absolute silence around them when they work.

If it is in the middle of the city, the surroundings are so noisy, it is impossible to calm down and refine the weapon.

Perhaps that's the real reason why the owner chose to open the store here.

However, although it was in a remote alley, when Ye Kai came to the Refining Pavilion, he unexpectedly found that it was quite lively here, and there was a feeling that the aroma of wine was not afraid of the depth of the alley.

I saw that the door of the store had not yet opened, and there were already seven or eight people crowded outside.

These people all looked forward to it, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time, but no one complained.

This made Ye Kai feel very surprised.

You must know that it is now three poles in the day, and basically all the businesses in Hanshan City have already opened, and some have even opened earlier.

Only this one refining pavilion was not opened.

I don't know if it's because the owner is closed or because the business hours of this store are different from those of other stores.

Ye Kai didn't know, so he waited outside the door with the others.

After about two pillars of incense in this way, the door of the store was still not open, Ye Kai was a little uneasy, so he smiled and said to a middle-aged man beside him who was at the peak of the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period and was about forty years old: "I don't know this brother's surname?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man showed a vigilant look on his face, looked at Ye Kai, and saw that he had a kind face and did not seem to have any malicious intent, so his face eased slightly, and he said indifferently: "Li who is surnamed Li, Muzi Li." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Li. Ye Kai noticed that the middle-aged man was wary of himself, and he was a little helpless, so he directly opened his mouth to express the doubts in his heart: "Little brother, the first time you come here, dare to ask the elder brother, what time does this refining pavilion usually open for business?"

"That's not a good thing to say. The middle-aged man frowned and said: "Master Lin generally looks at the mood when he opens a shop, sometimes it is in the morning, sometimes it is night, no one can touch his mind, if you are not in a hurry, just wait patiently." ”

"I see, thank you, brother. Seeing that the middle-aged man had such a cold attitude, Ye Kai smiled reluctantly.

Then he retreated to his place and waited quietly.

In the past, Ye Kai often heard people say that the temper of the master was generally very strange.

Now I have experienced it myself, and it is indeed so.

I hope that the middle-aged man said that Master Lin is really capable, otherwise he would have wasted so much time in vain.

Time passed silently, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Ye Kai began to feel a little anxious, and was thinking about whether to leave or not, the door of the Refining Pavilion finally opened with a "squeak", and a boy with a beautiful face and about eleven or twelve years old walked out from inside.

Seeing the people waiting anxiously outside the door, the boy was not surprised, obviously he was already surprised, but he did not have stage fright, and stood in front of the door and said loudly to everyone:

"My husband said, there have been a lot of things recently, and there is no time to refine the weapon, if you want to place an order to refine the magic weapon, please come back in a month. If there are customers who are in a hurry to transform the magic weapon, they can enter the door to discuss in detail if they are above the ninth level of cultivation period, and my husband has other important matters to discuss. ”

"As for other irrelevant people, please disperse quickly, don't disturb the cleanliness of this place, and in a month, the store will open its doors to welcome customers!"

"Is there any mistake, Lao Tzu waited for a morning, and now he only came out, even if he didn't open a store, why didn't he post a notice outside the door, isn't this a waste of everyone's time?" Hearing this, someone in the crowd immediately complained.

"That's it, everyone can understand Master Lin's hard work in refining weapons, but there is not even a notice, and he makes everyone wait for so long in vain, isn't this bullying?" another dark-skinned young man also echoed, with a bit of resentment in his tone.

His cultivation was just at the peak of the eighth layer of the Qi cultivation period, and he was only a little short of meeting the requirements of Lin Tianqing, the master of the Refining Weapon Pavilion, so his emotions were even more excited than the former.

"Okay, let's not say a few words, don't you know Master Lin's temper, don't you want to annoy his old man and pull you into the blacklist, and see what you do when the time comes!" Seeing that the others also complained, a sensible old man in the crowd stood up and reminded everyone.

Hearing the old man say this, everyone realized that there was a mistake in their words, and hurriedly said goodbye and left, so as not to be really recorded by the boy and become a black household in the Refining Pavilion.

In the end, only Ye Kai and the old man were left standing outside the door.

"You two are not leaving, but you are in a hurry to improve the magic weapon?" Seeing this, the boy said to the two of them with a smirk.

"Not bad. The gray-clothed old man with slightly white temples nodded slightly.

His cultivation is the tenth level of the Qi cultivation period, and his combat power is 5250 points, which is 290 points higher than Ye Kai, but his age is nearly four rounds older than Ye Kai.

This couldn't help but make Ye Kai feel a little emotional.

If it weren't for the help of the Xuantian Jian system, maybe he would have been like the old man, who had only reached the tenth level of the Qi cultivation stage at the age of sixty or seventy, and there was no hope of building a foundation in this life......

"Me too. Ye Kai withdrew his gaze from the old man and said with a smile to the refining pavilion boy in front of the door.

"You didn't lie to me, did you? You look so young, you can even have a cultivation of the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation period?" Seeing that Ye Kai was seven or eight years older than himself, but he claimed to have a cultivation of more than the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation period, the boy said with suspicion in his eyes.

"You can't fake things for cultivation. Facing the boy's questioning, Ye Kai shook his head with a smile, fully revealing the aura on his body, and said, "If you don't believe it, ask this Taoist friend next to me, he can testify for me." ”

"Is what he said true?" Although he could feel the strong aura on Ye Kai's body, after all, this boy had just started his cultivation and was not very sensitive to cultivation, so he opened his mouth to ask the old man.

"This little brother is extremely talented, he has the cultivation of the ninth layer peak of the Qi cultivation period at such a young age, and his future will definitely be limitless in the future. The old man said with a wry smile.

Looking at Ye Kai's eyes, there was an undisguised look of envy.

If his spiritual root qualifications were better, with his hard work and ability, why not.

Sure enough, there is still no comparison between people.

Because where there is contrast, there is harm.

And the greater the gap between you and others, the more you will feel inferior and difficult to be satisfied with the status quo.

Some people may be brave enough to stand up and fight against fate.

But most of the struggles ended in defeat.

The reality is that once you don't get off to a good start, it's hard to catch up with others.

The old man has a deep understanding of this.

That's why it's all of a sudden so emotional.

"This uncle has just spoken for me, I believe him, you two come in with me, the gentleman is waiting for you in the living room. ”

The boy smiled and spoke, and then stepped aside and let Ye Kai and the two enter the door.

Then he took out a sign from behind the door that was closed and hung it at the door of the store.

Seeing the billboard, Ye Kai and the old man both looked strange.

Noticing the gazes of the two, the boy looked a little embarrassed, smiled shyly at Ye Kai and the old man, and said, "Yesterday, a gentleman instructed me to hang the sign outside, but I forgot, don't demolish me when I go upstairs later, otherwise Mr. will scold me." ”

"Little brother, rest assured. Ye Kai glanced at the boy meaningfully, and said: "Everyone is out to beg for a living, I have also been an apprentice to others, what I am most afraid of on weekdays is the punishment of Mr., I know what to say and what not to say." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Kai couldn't help but think of the old doctor again.

In his memory, he has always been a kind and kind old man, with a smile on his face forever, even if Ye Kai did something wrong, he never scolded him loudly.

If he can practice, he will definitely be a very good alchemist.

More importantly, to be able to continue to be by Ye Kai's side.

He is Ye Kai's only relative in this world, although he is not related by blood, but so what!

His closest relatives abandoned him, and he was better than a relative if he was not a relative......

"I'm relieved to have your words. The boy squeezed his eyebrows at Ye Kai and said.

Knowing that he had also been an apprentice, his attitude towards him changed 180 degrees in an instant, and even his tone was much more cordial.

After closing the door, Ye Kai and the old man followed the boy upstairs.

The second floor is the reception room, which is particularly spacious and bright.

On the wall facing the window hung a scroll with eight large characters written on it—

"Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles!"

Underneath the scroll lay a bench wrapped in tiger skin, on which lay an old man with gray hair.

The old man was holding a picture album in his hand, and he was reading it with relish, and he didn't have any reaction to Ye Kai and the others.

Ye Kai secretly glanced at the album, and saw that there were men and women on it, with different postures and lifelike, as if they were doing some extremely mysterious multi-person sports, which were all kinds of difficult actions that he had never seen before.

"He is worthy of being a master, he is really old and strong, and he is very out of reach!"

Seeing the villain on the album, Ye Kai blushed slightly, and couldn't help but think of the scene of the battle against the two daughters in the snake cave yesterday.

"I don't know how the two Sun Li sisters are doing now?"

"When they wake up and find themselves naked, the expressions on their faces should be quite exciting. It's a pity that I didn't stay in a hurry at the time, otherwise if I sneered a few words on the side, it would be another big wave of hatred!"
