"It doesn't matter, just remember what you promised me. After I take a short rest and adjust my condition, I can help you carve the talisman to fill the spirit." The master of the third cave handed over the herring sword and said.
Yuan Ming immediately took it with respectful hands. He felt that his hands were cold, as if he were holding a piece of solid ice. There were still strands of coldness seeping into his body. He weighed it for a moment and felt that the sword was slightly heavier than before.
But not much has changed.
Huo Greedy crawled along his arm, wrinkled his nose and sniffed it. He immediately showed a look of disgust, turned around and crawled back to Yuan Ming's shoulder.
It only likes hot things, the hotter the better.
"Right now, it has not been engraved with talismans, so it cannot contain the cold and cold energy yet. Once the talisman is carved and imbued with spirit, the cold and cold energy will no longer leak out without the use of magic power." The third cave master added.
As soon as she finished speaking, the disciple's shout sounded outside the door again.
Without waiting for her instructions, Yuan Ming immediately trotted to the front yard, opened the door, and led the disciple over.
"The big cave master asked you to come, didn't you say something was wrong?" The third cave master asked directly.
"No, I just know that besides you, the Second Cave Master and Elder Mengshan have also been invited over." The disciple said quickly.
The third cave master couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.
After a moment's hesitation, she raised her hand and a rectangular metal box more than three feet long appeared in her palm.
When Yuan Ming saw this, he suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
"This is the Soul Containing Sword Box, which can ensure that the spiritual power in the sword body will not be silenced. Now put the Herring Sword in it. Come to me tomorrow morning to help you carve a talisman to imbue the spirit." The third cave master said.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he naturally didn't say anything and could only nod in agreement.
"Huo Greedy'er will follow you first." The third cave master glanced at Huo Mink who was lying on Yuan Ming's shoulder and said.
When the latter heard this, his bean-like eyes lit up, and he was obviously very happy.
"Yes." Yuan Ming responded immediately.
After returning to his residence, Yuan Ming was so excited that he could not calm down for a long time. He wanted to open the sword box and take a look, but he was worried that there were any taboos, so he could only put it on the bedside.
He himself took out Master Kuroki's manuscript and carefully read the runes recorded on it, guessing what runes the Lord of the Third Cave would choose to depict?
It wasn't until late at night that Yuan Ming calmed down his uneasiness, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and planned to practice the Ming Yue Jue.
Huo Gan'er also came over happily and planned to lie down next to Yuan Ming.
At this moment, it suddenly raised its neck and looked out the window, its small bean-like eyes spinning around.
Looking at its reaction, Yuan Ming knew that the silver cat was nearby.
"Xiying, come in quickly." Yuan Ming said.
No one answered outside, but after waiting for a moment, a light figure slowly walked in.
"This time I went to Fangshi and bought a gift for you." Yuan Ming said.
Hearing this, Yinmao was obviously stunned. He didn't expect Yuan Ming to say this.
"No need to show your courtesy." But when the voice was transmitted again, the tone remained calm, as if he didn't care too much: "What good things do you have? I don't want cheap goods."
Yuan Ming turned his wrist, and a black wooden box appeared in his palm, which contained gilt yarn.
Immediately afterwards, he opened the wooden box, held up the gilt gauze, flicked his wrist, and the golden gauze floated and unfolded in front of the sunset, with golden light flashing on each thread, and the scene was like a dream.
Yuan Ming shook again, and the gilt gauze suddenly grew several times longer, surrounding it in front of the sunset, with layers of golden gauze flying up and down, like a huge golden streamer.
"It's so beautiful, and it's a medium-grade magic weapon? Are you rich?" Silver Cat asked in surprise.
Hearing the sound, Yuan Ming turned his wrist again, and the golden veil suddenly shrank and returned to the black wooden box.
"This time I went to Fangshi and got a windfall unexpectedly. I have been thinking about you, so I bought it specially for you." Yuan Ming said.
"I don't want it. If you use this to bribe me, do you want to ask me for help again?" Silver Cat replied.
"It's really nothing." Yuan Ming defended.
"Hmph, tell me how you got such a windfall?" Xiying raised her chin and waved her claws, and the golden gauze floated in front of it. When it raised its claws and touched it, it disappeared.
Yuan Ming told how he met a clown in the market and assassinated people from Bailong Island, and then was rescued by a barefoot woman, while he used vines to steal the storage bag.
During this period, it asked this and that from time to time. When it heard the clown, the silver cat snorted. When the tall, barefooted woman in white appeared and used strange escape techniques to lead the clown away, Xiying asked a few more questions, and her eyes couldn't help but move.
It lit up.
After listening to the story, Xiying's mood seemed to improve.
"Would you like me to give you some more advice on Ming Yue Jue?" Silver Cat felt better and began to care about Yuan Ming's practice.
"It's going well for the time being, but the memory fragments occasionally generated in the sea of consciousness are a bit confusing, which often makes people feel a bit chaotic." Yuan Ming said.
"Your amnesia is caused by the trauma to your soul. The practice of Ming Yue Jue can help you repair the damage, but it will also take time. Maybe when you reach the third level of practice, you will be able to recall all your memories." Xiying said: "You
If you want to become your teacher, I will consider helping you restore your memory immediately."
"No." Yuan Ming refused decisively. According to the current speed of cultivation, his memory will be fully restored sooner or later. I always feel that I have suffered a loss due to the short and unprovoked shadow of a generation.
"I want to save face." Xiying said and left.
After Yuan Ming waited for him to leave, he sat cross-legged and meditated again and continued to practice.
…
The silver cat Xiying returned to her den in the tree hole.
It gently waved and grasped, and the gilded gauze like a golden ribbon floated out, like a mattress, spread under the thick fur and silk satin.
Xiying touched the golden gauze with the tip of one of her claws and easily refined it.
Then, a little of its mana flowed into the golden gauze, and the gilt gauze shimmered slightly, reflecting a little golden starlight in the originally dark tree hole.
The silver cat lay on the bed, feeling the silky coolness under his body. He suddenly felt as if he was hanging in the clouds. It was so comfortable and comfortable that he couldn't help but stretch.
"What a wonderful filial piety, haha..." It remembered Yuan Ming's appearance when he gave the gift just now, and couldn't help laughing.
Then it thought of something again, raised one of its front paws, took out a blue book from somewhere, and flipped through it carelessly. When it turned to the last page, its expression darkened.
This page depicts a group of hamsters happily eating together.
At the end of the page, it is written, "Jin·Yuan Ming"
It gently touched the book with one of its front paws, a complex emotion flashed through its eyes of different colors, and after a while it sighed softly:
"Father……"
After a night of silence, Yuan Ming carried the sword box to the small courtyard of the third cave master early in the morning.
As a result, he shouted outside the door for a long time and received no response.
After putting Huo Chan'er inside and looking around, Yuan Ming was dumbfounded. The third cave master was not in the courtyard at all.
"Isn't she breaking the appointment?"
Yuan Ming guessed that it was probably because of the big cave master's meeting yesterday, so he went to find Brother Fangge for confirmation.
"What are you doing with Master?" Fang Ge asked with a frown.
Yuan Ming then told him that he had asked the Third Cave Master to help him refine his sword.
"Junior Brother Yuan, I really didn't expect that I could ask the Third Cave Master to personally help you refine your sword." Fangge's serious face also showed an exaggerated look of surprise.
"Everything is just for Huo Greedy'er's sake." Yuan Ming explained with a smile.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the Third Cave Master, in addition to looking at Huo Greedy'er's face and the request mentioned in his mouth, probably also looked at the face of the Herring Sword itself, so he personally took action to help him refine it.
"Master didn't tell me this time. It's probably something urgent. But since she promised to help you refine the sword, she will definitely do it." Fang Ge said, his eyes falling on the sword box in Yuan Ming's hand.
"Is this the Yunling Sword Box?" he asked.
Yuan Ming nodded.
"That's no problem. Master, she will definitely come back within three days." Fang Ge said confidently.
"Why is this?" Yuan Ming was puzzled.
"The Yunling Sword Box can keep the sword's spiritual power from falling silent, but it is only effective for three days, so Master will definitely return within three days." Fang Ge explained.
"What if I can't come back?" Yuan Ming asked with a frown.
"In case of being unable to come back, once the spiritual power of the sword body is silent, it will no longer be possible to carve talismans and imbue the spirit. Previously, without adding the key spiritual materials, it could still be cast a second time, but now it is no longer possible to cast it again, which is basically the same as
It’s useless.” Fangge explained with an embarrassed look on his face.
When Yuan Ming heard this, his heart sank, and yesterday's bad premonition was confirmed.
"Don't worry, Master, since she promised, she will definitely return within three days." Upon seeing this, Fangge quickly comforted him.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he felt even more uneasy. It was precisely because the Third Cave Master was a man of his word that today's broken promise seemed a bit unusual.
"No, I'd better go find Senior Brother Amuhe to find a solution..." After he said this, he held the sword box and went to the Qilu at the back.
Yuan Ming held the sword box in his hand and hurried to Qilu, and went straight to Amuka's room.
"Tuk Tuk"
After he knocked eagerly a few times, the door creaked open inwards. Amuhe had sleepy eyes and a tired look on his face. After seeing Yuan Ming, his voice was somewhat vague and he said:
"Junior Brother Yuan, is something wrong?"
"Brother, help me." Yuan Ming said as he squeezed into Amuka's room.
"Yunling Sword Box? What's in it?" The latter didn't pay much attention. After closing the door, his eyes fell on the sword box in his hand and he frowned slightly.
"My sword was made with the help of the Third Cave Master, but something went wrong..."
Yuan Ming quickly told him the matter.
"I feel that Master is probably in an emergency, and I'm afraid he won't be able to escape for the time being." After hearing this, Amuka scratched his messy hair.
"Senior brother, you have to help me." Yuan Ming said with a bitter look on his face.
"Uh... Well, it's not that I won't help you. As you know, the task of imbuing souls cannot be done by a weapon refiner above the foundation-building stage. I can help you carve a talisman, but I can't do it either.
"Amuhe said helplessly.
"I know this too. Can you please come forward, senior brother, and ask the elders of our Huolian Hall for help? I can pay the remuneration, and the price is negotiable." Yuan Ming said quickly.
"Haha, you are really saying that. The rewards for refining magic weapons from the elders are something that a named disciple of yours can easily get? I'll go and ask for you, but don't have too much hope." Amuhe obviously didn't believe it.
, but still agreed.
"Thank you, senior brother." Yuan Ming quickly clasped his fists and said.
Amuhe waved his hand and asked him to wait a moment before turning around and walking out of the room.
