"If you need appraisal fees, master, just ask." Seeing this, Yuan Ming said.
"That's not necessary. This crimson horn contains powerful fire-attribute spiritual power. I can't tell its origin. I can only say that this thing is by no means inferior to the middle grade, and may even be higher." Huo Lian waved his hand and said.
.
Yuan Ming was overjoyed, but even a veteran weapon refiner like Huo Lian couldn't recognize the origin of the flaming horns. It seemed that they would not be able to find out in a short time.
"I wonder if it would be possible to ask the Fire Master to refine this object into a magical weapon?" He cupped his hands and asked.
"Using it to refine low-grade magic weapons is a waste of resources. I'm sorry I can't help you." Huo Lian shook his head and said.
Yuan Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Master Huolian, I have seen the magic weapon you refined. The smelting, forging, and talisman engraving are all excellent. They definitely meet the requirements for refining a medium-grade magic weapon. Why do you only refine it?"
A low-grade magic weapon?"
"You also know how to refine weapons?" Huo Lian asked.
"I know a little bit about it." Yuan Ming was vague.
"This matter involves my secret, so I can't tell you." Huo Lian glanced at Yuan Ming and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I'll leave the Thousand Machines Mask to Master Huolian." Yuan Ming apologized with his hands in hand, put away the two materials, turned around and left the magic weapon shop, but the sound of Huolian came from behind.
"Little friend, if you have good runes, remember to come back to me. The price will not disappoint you."
"This breath gathering symbol is said to prevent the spiritual consciousness of monks below the initial stage of foundation building from peeking. It seems that the fire training level is not low!" Yuan Ming paused for a moment, then did not look back and continued to walk out, but secretly thought in his heart.
road.
…
It is getting late, and half of the sky in the west is red. It should be a beautiful sight of red clouds all over the sky. Unfortunately, there are two big mountains around Black Rock City, which cover most of the western sky, and only the faintest traces of red clouds can be seen.
Yuan Ming looked at the sky, did not go back to the inn, and headed to the south city of Black Rock City.
He was actually quite interested in the disbanded alliance in Nan City, but he was too anxious to collect spiritual materials before and had no time to take care of it. Now he didn't expect things to go surprisingly smoothly. Now that he had some free time, he planned to go and take a look.
As a result, when I passed the central circular square again, I saw an old white-haired Taoist priest wearing a worn-out Taoist robe setting up a stall. However, there were no people around and it seemed a bit deserted.
There were no magical instruments, talismans, or elixir books on the stall. There was only one thing, an incense that exuded light fluctuations in spiritual power.
This suddenly made Yuan Ming interested. After some inquiries, he learned that the other party came from a remote small country in the Eastern Region. The incense he sold was not an ordinary incense stick, but a special kind of incense called "spiritual incense".
"Although these things are not like weapons, talismans, and elixirs, they are said to have the same effect and can even complement each other.
The three types of products sold by this person are Qingxuan Incense, which can increase the speed of monks' cultivation in the Qi Refining Period, nourishing incense that helps nourish the soul, and Jiangzhen Incense, which can exorcise ghosts and evil spirits.
The reason why it is not very popular is that not many people burn incense when practicing in southern Xinjiang. On the other hand, the price is too expensive. A bundle of thirty-six Qingxuan incense costs twenty souls.
Each stone can only last for two quarters of an hour. In terms of auxiliary practice, its effect is far inferior to elixirs of the same price.
However, this old Taoist claimed that he was in urgent need of a large amount of spiritual stones due to an unexpected incident, otherwise he would not have sold the incense in exchange for the spiritual stones, which means that the incense was sold at a low price.
When Yuan Ming proposed that he wanted to try the effect before making a decision, the old Taoist readily agreed.
Under the guidance of the old Taoist, Yuan Ming tried it and found that the incense was indeed effective. He immediately followed Gu Yue's example and bargained with him, and finally bought all thirty bundles of Qingxuan incense for the price of fifteen spiritual stones per bundle.
After buying it, I also bought ten bundles of more expensive incense.
This time, Yuan Ming spent more than 600 spirit stones in one breath, but he felt a little excited.
His qualifications are not good, but now that he has the Jiu Yuan Jue and a large number of Yuan Pei Dan, as well as these Qing Xuan Xiang, the effect of retreat will be greatly improved.
The white-haired old Taoist priest beamed and said that he was destined to be with Yuan Ming. He declared his family name as "Xuanhua Zhenren" and gave Yuan Ming a dirty bronze token so that Yuan Ming could pass by the Eastern Region Xuanhua Temple and enter with the token.
Guan went to see him for a drink, then packed up his bags and left on his own.
After Yuan Ming put away the tokens and incense, he quickly arrived at Nanshi without staying at the same place.
The layout of Nan City is similar to that of East City and West City, except that the buildings on both sides of the street are not shops, but are the residences of the scattered alliances. They cover different sizes and are some distance apart from each other. The plaque hanging on the door reads "
Words such as "Cut the wind and scatter the alliance", "Broken the army and scatter the alliance" etc.
Standing at the gates of these scattered alliance stations were well-dressed men, either two or four, all looking very tough and strong.
There is a red list hanging at the door of each building, which lists the things that the members of the alliance are good at, which are basically collecting spiritual materials, hunting ferocious beasts, and protecting bodyguards.
Compared with the East Market and the West City, there are not many pedestrians in the South City at this time and it seems a bit deserted.
Yuan Ming walked forward slowly, his eyes scanning the families on the roadside.
His steps suddenly stopped and he looked at the family that had broken away from the alliance.
The people standing at the door all had faces from the Central Plains, and the name of the alliance was very Jin-style: "The alliance was dispersed after a hundred battles."
"That's strange. Could it be that they are a disbanded alliance formed by a family of monks from the Jin Dynasty?" Yuan Ming thought to himself.
Yuan Ming noticed that Bai Zhan's alliance was disbanded, and it was not just because of this. There was a notice recruiting members on the list. Anyone with a cultivation level above the sixth level of Qi Refining could join.
At this moment, more than ten people gathered around the door, whispering to the recruitment notice, all of which seemed to be about the disbandment of the alliance.
Yuan Ming listened for a moment and got a rough understanding of the alliance that broke up after a hundred battles.
As he expected, Bai Zhan San Alliance was indeed a San Alliance founded by Da Jin loose cultivators. It only entered Black Rock City this year. It mainly does reselling tasks, transporting Da Jin items to Southern Xinjiang, and also transporting Southern Xinjiang specialties back.
The Jin Dynasty made profits from it.
It's more like a chamber of commerce than a disbanded alliance.
Its leader is a foundation-building monk, and his subordinates are not weak in strength. There are many masters of the eighth, ninth, and even tenth levels of Qi refining. Even though they have only been in Black Rock City for a year, they have already made quite a name for themselves.
head.
Some time ago, they returned to southern Xinjiang from Dajin. They were in danger on the way and lost many members, so they openly recruited members.
Yuan Ming was a little moved after hearing this.
The Northern Territory of Southern Xinjiang is far away from Dajin, and it has to cross several areas in Southern Xinjiang. It would be difficult for him to go back alone. Since the Hundred Wars Disbanded Alliance often travels between Dajin and Southern Xinjiang, he can use their strength to return to Dajin.
Jin.
"The Bailuqiu Guild Alliance is coming soon. It's not too late to consider joining the Hundred Wars Alliance after joining the Guild Alliance." He thought for a while, but still did not step forward.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd around them, and they all rushed forward. Words such as "Such a reward" and "Unbelievable" were vaguely heard from the front.
Yuan Ming pondered for a moment and then followed.
The crowd stopped in front of a disaffiliated alliance garrison. The building of this disaffiliated alliance garrison was tall and majestic with a red roof and white walls. On the plaque on the door were four vigorous and powerful Chinese characters of "Southern Xinjiang".
"The alliance broke up in the white night..." Yuan Ming muttered to himself.
When Bai Rili and Gu Yue were walking around Fang City, he also asked Gu Yue about the scattered alliances in Black Rock City and learned the names of several famous scattered alliances. Baiye San Alliance was one of them, and it was said that its leader
Bai Ye is a person in the late stage of foundation building, and is quite famous among the casual cultivators in southern Xinjiang.
Everyone was attracted here because of the red list of the White Night Alliance. There was also a recruitment notice written on it, but the recruits were temporary members. They hunted a powerful beast and the rewards were very generous. Depending on their performance, they could be given up to five hundred souls.
stone.
The recruitment requirements are not low. It is clearly stated that the cultivation level must be above the eighth level of Qi Refining, and one must pass the test of the White Night Alliance to participate in this mission.
You should know that for ordinary Qi Refining Stage monks recruited by the Alliance, five to ten spirit stones are usually a good reward. Tasks that can give fifty spirit stones are usually very well-rewarded tasks.
Tasks with such high rewards are extremely rare in Black Rock City. Although many people do not believe it or have a wait-and-see attitude, one or two people from the crowd of onlookers still walk out from time to time and enter the White Night Alliance garrison.
Yuan Ming was also greatly moved. Although he had more than a thousand spirit stones on his body at the moment, he was considered rich among monks of the same level, but if he wanted to improve his cultivation and strength faster, ten times more spirit stones could be used instantly.
Spend it all.
He originally planned to go back to Biluo Cave and look for ways to make money. Unexpectedly, he encountered a good mission in Black Rock City. Although the description was not very clear, he was just qualified, so he couldn't miss it easily.
And according to what Gu Yue said, the behavior of the White Night Alliance is quite decent and there are no bad deeds. This time recruiting people to hunt beasts on the street should not be a conspiracy.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Yuan Ming stepped into the White Night Alliance.
After passing through the gate, a courtyard appeared in front, and two men in white suits stopped him.
"Is this fellow Taoist going to participate in this animal hunting mission?" The tall and thin man on the left stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at Yuan Ming, and asked.
This man's face was pockmarked and his skin was yellow. He looked quite ugly, but his eyes were extremely bright, which seemed to be caused by practicing some kind of martial arts.
"Exactly." Yuan Ming replied.
"Fellow Taoist must also have seen the requirement to participate in the beast hunting mission. It is necessary to test the cultivation of fellow Taoist. Please don't blame me." said the tall and thin man.
Yuan Ming naturally nodded without any objection.
Hearing this, the man on the right turned his hand and took out a crystal ball, pointed it at Yuan Ming, pressed his other hand against the ball, and dots of crystal light began to appear on the surface of the ball.
Although Yuan Ming didn't feel anything strange, there seemed to be a feeling in his heart that his body and mind were being peeped cleanly by the other party.
After a moment, Yuan Ming's figure appeared in the ball, with nine green lights and shadows wrapped around his body, shining brightly.
Yuan Ming took another look at the crystal ball. It was strange that this thing could not only detect his cultivation level, but also the attributes of his skills.
"Fellow Taoist's cultivation meets the requirements. Please enter the inner hall and accept the next round of tests." The tall and thin man said with soft eyes, gesturing to a hall ahead.
Yuan Ming knew that the next test was the highlight, and that the White Night alliance was not taken advantage of. Since the high reward of five hundred spirit stones was offered, the requirements for personnel must be extremely strict.
