After saying goodbye to Mu Qing, Tong Chen did not go home from the main road, but went home along the small road, passing by the stream where he met the old woman last time, with the mentality that there was a 1 in 10,000 chance of meeting the old woman again, he walked a few more steps, and went down from the road to the side of the stream, but he didn't expect that he just came down from the road, and saw the old woman standing on the bank of the stream in front of him from a distance.

After Tong Chen approached, he saw what the old woman was doing, only to see the old woman standing by the stream, her hands facing down, and there was a faint light flashing in her palms, but there was no other movement, but the magic was that although she didn't move, the mud and sand in the stream seemed to be called by some kind of summons, and quickly flew away from the water and gathered towards her palms little by little.

After the mud and sand flew to the bottom of the old woman's palm, the old woman's hands moved slightly, and the mud and sand rotated rapidly under her hands, and soon, a clay cup began to take shape in the hands of the old woman, halfway Tong Chen saw the old woman's hands in the mud and sand pinched a few times, in addition, the old woman's hands did not have other movements, but in just two minutes, a good clay cup was formed in the hands of the old woman.

If he hadn't read the refining knowledge notes before, Tong Chen would definitely be surprised when he saw this scene, but now although he was a little surprised in his heart, he would not be overly surprised, because what the old woman had just done was not beyond his understanding, to be exact, he knew what the old woman was doing, and the old woman was refining!

After reading that notebook, Tong Chen already knows what refining tools are and how cultivators usually refine them, to put it simply, refining tools is a process in which cultivators use their own mana or special means to refine genius earth treasures, under normal circumstances, as long as cultivators have the cultivation of the Extension Period, they can take this step, such as what the old woman is doing now, using mana to condense the sediment in the stream, and then refining it into a pottery cup, this process can be called refining.

But this kind of refining is only the most basic refining means, and the cultivators usually say that refining tools are not quite the same, cultivators enter the expansion period, and they can indeed refine some artifacts at will, but most of the artifacts they refine are just ordinary weapons, such as some daily necessities or some low-level weapons, after refining, although these artifacts are much more delicate and strong than ordinary utensils, but compared to those refined with subtle means and precious materials of the best artifacts, these mortal artifacts are nothing.

There are treasures on top of all weapons, magic weapons on top of treasure weapons, immortal weapons on top of magic weapons, and artifacts on top of immortal weapons.

Generally speaking, cultivators in the Extension Period have the ability and means to refine middle and lower-grade mortal weapons, but the high-grade mortal weapons and those precious artifacts above the mortal weapons are not something that ordinary cultivators can refine, or they have the means to reach the heavens and can refine all things in heaven and earth at every turn, such as immortal artifacts, most of which are refined by this kind of heaven and earth power; or they specialize in this way, and through years of study and accumulation, they have summed up a set of unique refining methods and means, and on this basis, they can refine various materials or artifacts, and the latter is what cultivators often call alchemists。

The reason why Tong Chen was a little surprised at this moment was not that he was surprised that the old woman had casually refined a pottery cup, but that he was surprised that the old woman was actually a cultivator, and she was also a cultivator who had at least the cultivation of the Extension Period, which was really much beyond his expectations.

Just when Tong Chen walked down from the mainland, the old woman had already noticed Tong Chen, but she didn't raise her head, nor did she open her mouth to talk to Tong Chen, just stared at the clay cup that was being refined in her hand, and when Tong Chen walked in front of her, she had already finished refining the clay cup, but she still didn't look up to talk to Tong Chen, but put the clay cup that had just been refined on a big stone behind her, and then stretched out her hands to the stream below her again, it seemed that she was going to refine another clay cup.

The old woman didn't open her mouth, but Tong Chen couldn't help but open her mouth, he walked in front of the old woman, bowed slightly to the old woman, and then said: "Grandma, when I passed by here, I thought you might be, so come down and take a look, I didn't expect you to be here!"

After Tong Chen's words, the old woman finally raised her head and nodded to him, and then her eyes fell on the burning fire rack not far from her side, Tong Chen followed the old woman's line of sight, and saw a small clay pot and a bag of paper bags placed next to the fire rack, the clay pot was obviously just refined by the old woman, and the paper bag, Tong Chen recognized at a glance that it was the tea he gave to the old woman before.

Seeing the old woman looking at these things, Tong Chen immediately understood that the old woman was asking him to boil water to make tea, he raised his feet and walked to the side of the fire rack, picked up the clay pot, poured the tea into the clay pot, and then walked to the side of the stream to fill the clay pot with water, and then put the clay pot on the fire stand to heat, after doing this, he turned around and found that the old woman had finished refining another clay cup, and he didn't know when he was standing behind him.

Tong Chen subconsciously smiled at the old woman: "Grandma, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing lately?"

The old woman nodded slightly, and a faint smile finally appeared on her face: "Thanks to you, I'm fine." ”

"Thanks to me?" Hearing the old woman's words, Tong Chen was a little stunned.

Looking at the clay pot that was hung on the fire rack and heated, the old woman said: "That's right, a few days ago, the old lady, my practice was blocked, my mood was disturbed, and I often felt restless and restless. ”

"Oh?" The old woman's words made Tong Chen also feel a little surprised, his tea leaves were all picked from that world, although he had long known that it was definitely much better than ordinary tea, but Tong Chen didn't expect that the tea would have such an effect: "If Grandma doesn't say it, I don't know that my tea has this effect!"

After speaking, Tong Chen took out a few bags of tea that he had brought with him, handed them to the old woman and said, "Grandma, since my tea leaves are useful for your cultivation, it just so happens that I have a few bags of tea here, you can also use them!"

Looking at the tea leaves handed over by Tong Chen, the old woman did not reach out to take it, but said: "Child, I don't know how you cultivated this kind of tea, but this kind of tea is an extraordinary tea, if it is sold on the market, it will definitely sell at a very good price, and now you give these tea leaves to my old woman for nothing, isn't it too much of a loss?"

After listening to the old woman's words, Tong Chen smiled and said: "Grandma, when I first met you, I felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to you, so I am willing to take out my own tea for you to enjoy, which is nothing to lose to me, because I feel very happy to do this, so you don't have to feel sorry for me, although I use it, these are not enough for me, as long as you want, tell me, I will send it to you at any time." ”
