Yuquan Mountain, the cave of Aunt Yufeng.

In the living room sat a man and a woman. The woman is Yufeng, and the man is Shen Zhaodong, who has not been seen for several years.

Senior Aunt Yufeng said with a smile on her face: "Senior brother, you have finally returned safely. You know I'm worried about you!"

Shen Zhaodong took a sip of tea and said, "Senior Sister Lao is worried, I did encounter a lot of trouble when I went to hunt for treasures this time. But finally came back without any danger."

Senior Aunt Yufeng's heart moved and asked, "Senior Brother has gained anything from that ruin?"

Shen Zhaodong smiled mysteriously and said, "There are some gains, but they are not obtained there. ”

Aunt Yufeng was surprised: "Oh, what is the harvest?"

"A few of us searched the ruins and got some exercises, materials, magic tools, etc. However, the elixir was not found, and finally we finished our treasure hunt, and I found it in a market. After Shen Zhaodong finished speaking, he took out a white jade bottle.

Shen Zhaodong put the jade bottle on the small table beside him, and then carefully released a light mask to wrap the bottle. With a solemn expression, he flicked his robe against the jade bottle, and the cork was opened. "Hum!" The jade bottle began to tremble violently. In an instant, a multicolored glow flew out, transforming into a fiery red miniature bird within the light mask. I saw it flapp its wings, open its mouth and make a clear sound, and then look around.

Looking closely, this bird looks like a rooster, and its eyes are shining, and it is actually a pair of pupils.

Yufeng stood up from the chair and said, "This is?!".

"The spirit of the heavy bird, unfortunately some damage. Shen Zhaodong's happy face showed a hint of regret.

Aunt Yufeng stepped forward and examined it carefully, and a trace of fiery color flashed in her eyes. Sure enough, the long feathers on the tail of this bird are sparse for some reason. Then she exclaimed: "Yes, if it is a good spirit, it is not something that you and I can afford. ”

Shen Zhaodong said with joy on his face: "With this thing, the power of my Taihe Sword will increase by three percent." ”

Yufeng smiled: "Then congratulations to Senior Brother!"

After a while, Shen Zhaodong took out a box and handed it to Senior Aunt Yufeng, and said, "By the way, I have been leaving Yuquan Mountain for several years, thanks to you for taking care of the things inside the door, I have worked hard!"

Yufeng happily took the box and said, "Senior brother, you are too polite, these are all things I should do." ”

When the box opened, there was a fist-sized piece of fiery red ore lying inside, which shone with a faint aura. She said excitedly, "Heh, Yanjing Mine! ”

Flame Crystal Ore is a rare fire-attribute ore, and when refining spiritual weapons, a small amount of power can be added to increase the power of fire-attribute exercises. Such a large piece is worth a lot of money. The Flame Sword Duel she cultivated was a sword technique based on fire attributes, and she could just use this Flame Crystal.

Yufeng happily put away the ore and said with a smile: "Senior brother really has a heart!"

Seeing that this thing was very much in line with her heart, Shen Zhaodong was also very relieved that his thoughts were finally not in vain.

After the two talked for a while, Shen Zhaodong returned to Yuquan Cave Mansion.

......

A few days later, an old man and a young man were chatting about something in the treasury of the Sword Casting Pavilion.

Master Hao put down a palm-sized fragment of a slightly dim magic weapon in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Yiwen, I heard Min Zhu say that you have made rapid progress in refining spirit ore, I don't know if this is true?"

Liu Yiwen smiled faintly and said modestly: "Senior Brother Min has won the award, but it is not as difficult as when he first came." There are still a few days of leisure time each month. ”

"Uh..."

Master Hao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Generally speaking, it is already very good for a newcomer to be able to barely complete the task within two years. With a few days of leisure a month, it seems that you should be very proficient in refining now, and this speed is really surprising. ”

Liu Yiwen came here today to hand in his monthly tasks, and he was able to complete them on time every time, which made his uncle very satisfied. Coupled with the fact that he is always humble and polite, this old man is even more pleasing to the eye when he looks at him.

At first, Liu Yiwen felt that refining was really boring and hard. However, he knew some joint tricks as soon as he heard them, and he seemed to have a lot of experience. This made him feel a little happy in his heart and became interested in it.

At this time, Uncle Hao talked about refining, and he took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle Shi, I don't know how to refine the discarded magic weapon?"

Hao Shibo frowned and said, "Oh? Yiwen wants to learn to refine magic weapons now?"

Liu Yiwen said calmly: "I am quite proficient in the refining of raw ore now, and I just want to ponder the refining of this magic weapon when I have spare time." Listening to Senior Brother Min's introduction, this skill of Uncle Min is quite exquisite. ”

Hao Shibo stared at him, but did not answer thoughtfully.

After half a burnt incense, he said leisurely: "The refinement of this magic weapon still needs to be understood, not practice makes perfect, it is aimed at the five elements. When refining the magic weapon, it is necessary to make the ratio of various materials reach a certain equilibrium state and exert its effect, which is the symbiosis of the five elements; in the refining process, it is necessary to use the five elements to separate the corresponding materials. ”

Liu Yiwen silently recited in his mouth as if he was figuring out the meaning of these words, but after repeating it several times, he still didn't know why. He smiled bitterly and said, "My nephew is stupid and can't understand it for a while." ”

Hao Shibo sighed and said disapprerovitically: "It's just a casual chat, it's not a day's work to master this way!"

Then his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking about for a while, and then said, "Yiwen, I see that you have some talent in refining, how can you be interested in this?"

Liu Yiwen said without thinking: "I heard from my senior brother more than a year ago that you can earn some immortal coins here, but it has to be harder. After this time, I realized that although it was a bit hard, it was not as boring as he said. ”

Uncle Hao stroked his gray beard and nodded: "Well, everything depends on temperament, and I am obsessed with this." However, the extraction of raw ore seems to be easy to learn, but it takes some thought to improve it! I have here a catalogue of various ores with some of my annotations. If you have time, you can study it. ”

After saying that, he took out a book that was two fingers thick and handed it over.

Liu Yiwen was overjoyed to take it and said respectfully: "Thank you, uncle! My nephew has been taught! I wonder if Yiwen can watch and learn from the sidelines when my uncle is refining?"

Uncle Hao said: "Of course, I will be in the 'Chen' smelting workshop for the first three days of every decade. ”

Liu Yiwen said solemnly: "Uncle Xie!"

He asked Uncle Hao for some refining experience, and then said goodbye and left. There are still three days left before receiving the next mission, and he plans to go back to Yuquan Mountain to have a look. The task of more than a year has made him accumulate a few hundred immortal coins, and he plans to go to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for some pills and seize the time to improve his cultivation.

I just received the flying magic weapon and didn't go far away, but I ran into Senior Brother Wen halfway.

"Yiwen, I'm about to go to the Sword Forge Pavilion to find you?"

Liu Yiwen smiled: "Oh, I don't know what the senior brother is looking for me!"
