Zhang Xiaopang put down the teacup, carefully looked at the jasper mask, and felt that this person must not know, but this mask looked a little familiar, in order not to refute the face of the guest, he had to laugh and say: "You have lived in our store before?

In fact, this guest's mask Zhang Xiaopang is a bit impressive, after all, such a luxurious jasper mask is hard to forget anyone who looks at it.

Earlier, Shopkeeper Zhou had popularized the origin of this jasper mask with Zuo Tianyou and Zhang Xiaopang. It turned out that the material used for this mask was an extremely expensive jade material, mostly produced in the mountains near Wanbo Lake in the Tianji Kingdom, and it was very laborious to mine, and some were even more time-consuming and laborious than mining a spirit stone mine.

Once the jade is mined, many refiners gather to study its quality and hardness, and it is said that the darker the color, the higher the hardness. The refiners all want to choose the rough stone with high hardness as much as possible, because using this kind of jade with high hardness to refine weapons has strong attack power and stronger function of absorbing all kinds of true qi and spiritual energy, which is a kind of magic weapon that many monks like to purchase.

Taichu Island in Wanbo Lake is a sect that refines weapons, and all kinds of jasper artifacts and objects have always been their signboards, and many monks have come to buy them, and Taichu Island has also shocked the cultivation realm with this name.

However, the jade veins in the mountains near Wanbo Lake have become more and more scarce in the past hundred years, and the old veins have almost been cut off, and the new veins cannot be regenerated, so the price of this jadeite refining artifact has also risen all the way.

Such a precious jade refining into weapons is rare on the market now, and an ordinary mask is actually refined with it, can it not be unforgettable?

Jasper Mask smiled: "Back then, I wanted to take you as an apprentice and follow me back to Taichu Island in Wanbo Lake." Why? Don't remember?"

Zhang Xiaopang is lazier than Zuo Tianyou, and he is even more unwilling to waste time sorting out a large number of memories. Now that I'm being asked about this, I have to ponder if there is such a thing.

After thinking about it for a long time, he said with a wry smile: "What you told me yesterday, I don't necessarily remember today." What's more, the years have been so long! Just say what you mean! I'm a happy person! I like to go straight. As he spoke, he put the rag on his shoulder, wanting to see what this rich master was doing with himself.

Jasper Mask was amused by Zhang Xiaopang's pleasure, laughed, pointed to the drum stool next to him, and asked Zhang Xiaopang to sit down.

Zhang Xiaopang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'll still stand." You have something to say. ”

Jasper Mask stopped laughing and asked directly, "I wanted to take you as an apprentice back then. Today I came to this inn again, which shows that you and I have the share of master and apprentice. Would you like to go with me to Taichu Island to learn the method of refining, and one day become a peerless refiner?"

Zhang Xiaopang didn't expect that this green jade mask actually wanted to take him as an apprentice, and felt that although it sounded very dignified, this plot was too unacceptable.

In the end, this request tossed back and forth in Zhang Xiaopang's stomach twice, Zhang Xiaopang smiled awkwardly: "You look up to me! Thank you!" said and bowed to the jasper mask, and then said: "But I don't want to be a refiner, and I have no interest in the world." I have much better qualifications than me, and you will definitely receive a satisfactory apprentice. With that, he put the teapot on the table and turned back to the backyard.

Jasper Mask didn't expect that after so many years, Zhang Xiaopang still refused to learn refining. But his fire spirit root belongs to the top grade of the fire spirit root, and it does not contain a little impurity side system, and people with this kind of spirit root may not be able to find one out of 10,000, and it is a pity not to learn. It's like making the jasper mask look at a rough stone with extremely high hardness, but can't take it back to refine it, and he is full of unwillingness.

Although Zhang Xiaopang didn't plan to cultivate any refiners, he was still quite refreshed when someone lifted himself, and he hummed and sang proudly and went back to the backyard, thinking that the jasper mask just now was full of desire to be his apprentice, and he really should let Zuo Tianyou see it, it was too face-saving!

Zuo Tianyou was helping Lao Wu cook, and when he saw that there was no tea, Zhang Xiaopang came back again, and said strangely: "You just sent a pot of tea and came back?"

Zhang Xiaopang had just been lifted up, his face was a little stiff, and his tone was slightly higher: "You go and serve! That man said that he wanted to take me as an apprentice, I was annoyed, so I came back." ”

"Take you as an apprentice?" Zuo Tianyou asked.

"Yes, he said that my spiritual root is good and suitable for learning refining weapons. And he told me about it the last time he came. Where do I remember!I forgot it!" Zhang Xiaopang said with a disdainful expression.

"Why did he say that you are suitable for refining?" Someone has such a high opinion of Zhang Xiaopang who is so lazy, Zuo Tianyou is really curious, and naturally wants to break the casserole and ask in the end.

"How do I know? He didn't say anything! He just said something about Wanbo Lake, Taichu Island, or something. I've never heard of it. I'm not interested at all!" Zhang Xiaopang became more and more annoyed the more he explained, his eyes staring directly at the pot, and he couldn't wait for a chicken to fly out of it.

Lao Wu looked at the fire and said with a smile: "Why don't you even know Taichu Island?! That is the biggest faction in the refining weapon, and the jadeite magic weapon refined by his family is expensive and difficult to buy." If you become a disciple of his family, you can't just pick a magic weapon or something! No matter how many people want to worship under their door, they can't find a way. Hello! The master has come to the door, and he still puts up such a big shelf! Be careful and regret it!"

Although Zuo Tianyou can't do it now, he has always kept it in mind. In the morning, he accidentally got some cross-over stones in the Ling'an Immortal Shop, and got a few ancient alchemy books, and he was sent to a master to teach him.

But from Zhang Xiaopang's words, Zuo Tianyou heard that refining weapons requires talent very much, and if his talent is insufficient, then the easy-to-get Doom Stone will probably become a waste stone.

Zhang Xiaopang didn't care about Lao Wu's praise of Taichu Island at all, shook his head and said, "What kind of refining weapon, cultivation, tired and tired." Isn't that refining tool like you Lao Wu, facing a stove all day long, what do you mean? I don't regret it. ”

Lao Wu couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and he stopped for a long time and said: "Don't be stubborn! Think about it, in just these two or three months, how can our store stop? If something really happens, you can't make a move, but you are unlucky!"

Zuo Tianyou also secretly pondered in his heart, that jasper mask took a fancy to Zhang Xiaopang, which was also a good way. If Xiaopang learns the method of refining, won't it be the same as learning the refining technique himself? It's just that this kid is too greedy for enjoyment now and refuses to endure hardships, so he should still persuade him to recognize this master when he finds an opportunity.

Just as the three of them were talking happily, there was a sound of boots at the door, and I heard the voice of the shopkeeper coming from the lobby: "How many of you are in the guest office, come, come here, sit here, man, pour tea." ”

As soon as Zuo Tianyou and Zhang Xiaopang heard that the shopkeeper was back, they still greeted the guests in front of them and called them, and hurriedly trotted to the lobby.

When I entered the lobby with the curtain, I saw that there were already several tables of guests, and the jasper mask just now did not leave.

Business suddenly improved in the evening, and the corners of Shopkeeper Zhou's mouth bloomed. They greeted each other from table to table, and they were very welcoming.

Zuo Tianyou brought a pot of tea to a table of guests, put it aside and just wanted to turn around, but I don't know why I felt that the guest sitting in front of him was very familiar, although he was wearing a mask that covered his entire face, but that momentum and eyes made Zuo Tianyou feel extremely familiar.

It wasn't the kind of familiarity that the jasper mask made him feel, the familiarity was more distant, and the guest in front of him made him feel an urge to pull down his mask and see what was going on.

Zuo Tianyou's eyes stared at the eyes behind the mask, and he found that those eyes were also looking him up and down.

These eyes were full of vigilance and scrutiny, and Zuo Tianyou couldn't help but be furious on the back of these eyes.

Intuitively, this person would never just come for tea.

Under the mask, it is indeed not an ordinary guest, but a fantasy that has just left the inn.
