Chapter 26: The Ink Master
Several people walked through the bamboo forest, parted ways in front of the market, and went their separate ways.
In the bamboo forest, an inconspicuous hill gradually dissipated into smoke and dust, and two cultivators showed their figures. They were all dressed in black, with strange black masks on their faces, and they looked at each other a few times and shook their heads regretfully.
"Liu San, I haven't gained anything for two days. Now it seems that casual cultivation rarely goes out of the city alone, and it is difficult to do. ”
"Yes, if this continues, the master will be angry again. ”
A cultivator said fiercely, "Why don't you catch some sect disciples?"
"No, the master has finally found such a good place, and he must not startle the snake! If the vigilance of the various sects is aroused, the master will not succeed, and you and I will die without a place to be buried. ”
"Alas......"
The two sighed, their bodies shook strangely a few times, and they quickly sank into the earth and disappeared.
Zhou Shu naturally couldn't feel the situation behind him, and he walked quickly towards Fang City.
The materials on the body must be disposed of quickly, especially the python pith. The longer this very rare rune ink material is placed, the more the aura is lost, and the lower its value becomes.
If his previous storage bag was still there, he could isolate most of the aura, and the python pith could be stored for much longer, but that thing was no longer there.
Walking to Sanyuanzhai, before entering the door, the familiar guy had already greeted him, smiling extremely warmly, "Zhou Gongzi, you are here again, what do you need to do?"
Zhou Shu nodded, "Help me find an ink master, your store should have it, right?"
Ink master is a person who specializes in dealing with rune ink materials and configuring rune ink, which is the same profession as rune master and so on, but the status is far inferior, this is because mortals can also be ink masters, of course, most excellent ink masters are cultivators.
The guy made a gesture of please, and laughed repeatedly, "Of course." Zhou Gongzi said with a smile, how can there be no ink master in this store, please come with me. ”
Walking into Sanyuan Zhai, Zhou Shu swept casually, "Is the shopkeeper Hua not here today?"
"Shopkeeper Hua went out to do errands and hasn't returned yet. Don't worry, Childe's orders, the small ones are guaranteed to be done. The guy patted his chest and seemed to think of himself as the shopkeeper.
"Thank you very much. ”
Under the guidance of the guy, the two walked straight into a side hall.
The side hall is not small, there are at least five people in it who are busy with their heads, and many tables are filled with fresh materials, including spirit grass and demon beast flesh and blood, mixed together, making the hall filled with a peculiar smell.
The man walked over quickly and said a few words, and after a while, an old man slowly approached.
The old man looked seventy or eighty years old, his face was full of wrinkles, he bowed slightly to Zhou Shu, and said indifferently, "Guest officer, I don't know what materials you want to process?"
Although the old man was a mortal, he looked humble and wise, as if he was holding a pearl of wisdom, which gave Zhou Shu an unfathomable feeling, and he was slightly stunned.
This kind of feeling can only be felt when he sees the teacher in his previous life, and Liu Yuqi has never given it to him before. That indescribable wisdom seemed to indicate that he had reached the end of his realm, and he was plain on the outside, but he was full of confidence on the inside, and there was nothing he could not solve.
There was Wu Ming first, and then there was this mortal old man, Fang City was indeed a place where the dragon and the tiger were hidden.
The guy thought that Zhou Shu was not at ease, so he hurriedly introduced, "Zhou Gongzi, Xu Lao is the most famous ink master in our world, although he is not a cultivator, but the rune ink that is configured, even if he is a rune master of the foundation realm, he must praise it." ”
Zhou Shu nodded lightly and returned the salute, "Master Xu looks like a wise old man, and he doesn't have much to worry about. ”
For such an old man, no matter whether he is an immortal, he has great respect.
The old man's body was stagnant, although he was quite respected in these three wishes, but no cultivator guest had ever called him Master Xu, and a sound of Master Xu Mo was already a great courtesy, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
But he quickly calmed down and smiled slightly, "Hehe, Zhou Gongzi praised it falsely, the little old man Xu Shan, it's not worth mentioning." ”
Zhou Shu smiled, took out the jade bottle and handed it over, "This is the material to be processed next, please take a look at it." ”
Xu Shan took the jade bottle with both hands, first looked at its color, smelled its taste, and then took out a jade spoon and poured out a drop of python pith to carefully examine it.
After a while, he slowly raised his head, "Gongzi Zhou is so capable, he even got the pith of the Golden Ring Python." ”
Although his voice was not loud, the surrounding ink masters were all alarmed and gathered together.
"What, is it really the python pith of the Golden Ring Python?"
"It's a rare good rune ink material, I really want to try it. ”
"That's a very rare second-order demon beast, looking at the cultivation of this guest officer, I don't know how to get it......"
"But the python pith is very difficult to prepare, and it can't even compare to the thunder fruit, and it will be completely destroyed if you are not careful. ”
Obviously, the material of python pith is very rare and rare, and the difficulty of preparing rune ink is also very great, and several ink masters are a little itchy to see it, and they want to try it but dare not try it.
Zhou Shu smiled faintly and praised, "Master Xu is really good, I admire it." ”
He took out the material, but he didn't explain what it was, and it also meant to test the level of the old man, because the python pith of the Jinhuan Kui python was extremely rare, and it was difficult to distinguish, but Xu Shan said it easily.
This made him admire Xu Shan even more.
Xu Shan put the python pith back into the jade bottle, stared at Zhou Shu, and asked in a slight voice, "Zhou Gongzi, the python pith of the Jinhuankui python is very rare and valuable. Do you really feel free to let Lao Er prepare rune ink?"
Zhou Shu nodded, "I have confidence in Master Xu, just do it." ”
The ink masters on the side also helped, "Here, if Xu Mo Master can't do it, we can't do it even more." ”
There were two cultivators in it, and they had even reached the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
"Good. ”
Xu Shan said lightly, "The python pith is rich in three kinds of aura, gold, water and soil, and has strange poisons, and the rune ink that can be prepared also has several directions, and the specific total number is more than twenty, dare to ask which one Zhou Gongzi needs?"
Zhou Shu pondered for a while, "Water and soil are available, if it is enough, it is better to have a bottle?"
The ink master on the side suddenly frowned, "Guest officer, your requirements are too high. ”
"That's right, it's really good to think about such a little python marrow and asking for two kinds of rune ink. ”
"Even if it's just one, the chance of failure is very high, or two?"
Zhou Shu didn't know much about Fu Mo, and when he heard the discussion, he also said apologetically, "Master Xu, you don't have to care about the next request." If the python pith is put down, the utility will also be lost, as long as the material is not wasted. ”
Xu Shan smiled slightly, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he said in his chest, "Zhou Gongzi's request, Lao Er is clear, let's take Fu Mo in five days." ”
Zhou Shu arched his hand, "So don't bother, there is Master Lao Xu." ”
The guy led Zhou Shu out of the door, and there was a noisy discussion behind him, and it was silent after a long time.
Walking to the main hall, the guy saluted, "Zhou Gongzi, according to the rules of the industry, make runes in our store, if the production is successful, the store will charge a certain fee." ”
"Speak. Zhou Shu smiled and nodded, there is no free lunch in the world, and no one will help you work in vain.
The guy smiled with a strange smile, "The cost is not a spirit stone, it's something else." ”
