"This is... the red sun stone!" Shen Dachui looked at the slightly warm large piece of ore in Zhong Wen's hand and sighed in admiration, "Such a large piece of red sun stone is really rare."
"Mr. Shen, you are an expert. Please help me weigh it. What kind of weapons can be made from this red sun stone?" Zhong Wen humbly asked for advice. In his mind, he only had methods for forging alchemy furnaces and medical tools, but he had no idea about weapons.
He is a layman.
"People in the world have many misunderstandings about weapon forging. They think that as long as they use the best materials, they can create magical weapons. In fact, a good weapon requires more attention to the combination of materials. To forge a good sword, you only need to use ordinary materials.
Just mix a small piece of red sun stone into the fine steel. Such a large piece of red sun stone is more than enough to make ten swords." Shen Dachui stroked his beard and shook his head.
"Oh?" Zhong Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I wonder if you can ask Mr. Shen to use this red sun stone to make some weapons? I am willing to pay the corresponding remuneration."
"If Brother Zhong needs it, not to mention ten, but a hundred or a thousand, the old man won't hesitate." Shen Dachui quickly waved his hands and said, "My grandfather and grandson have been greatly favored by Piaohua Palace.
After living and eating here for so many days, the old man has long thought about finding an opportunity to repay everyone's kindness and forge a few weapons. For me, it's just a piece of cake, how can I get paid?"
"One code equals one code. It is not easy to invite you, the world's best blacksmith, to take action. I must pay for the spirit crystal." Zhong Wen said with a smile, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you still can't.
It’s time to think about Xiaowan. With her appetite, if you don’t bring more spiritual crystals with you, how will you live away from Piaohua Palace in the future?”
Hearing Zhong Wen poke his sore spot, Shen Dachui couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "But I didn't bring the forging tools with me when I went out this time. I still need Brother Zhong to help me organize it."
"Whatever Mr. Shen needs, just ask." Zhong Wen said cheerfully, "I will just go to Miss Shangguan to purchase it."
"Do you think I'm a grocery store?" Shangguan Mingyue pouted at the side, feeling like she was just a coolie in front of Zhong Wen, and said a little dissatisfied.
"How about sharing the refined sword with you?" Zhong Wen said with a smile.
"..." Shangguan Mingyue wanted to refuse, but when she thought that the Red Sun Stone was a rare treasure, and the successor of the God Forge personally forged it, the temptation of such a sword was too great, and it was really difficult to let it go, and the conversation suddenly changed.
Turn, "Since you are so understanding, I will reluctantly help you one more time."
So Zhong Wen followed Shen Dachui's request and purchased a batch of forging tools from Shangguan Mingyue, and also added some high-level spirit pattern disks for drawing the "Spirit Gathering Array".
After dinner, Zhong Wen slowly came to the back hill where "Indigo Princess Fanghua" was located.
Unsurprisingly, I found that the tiger and the eagle were still firmly in place, staring at the spirit flower in front of me without blinking, not daring to leave even an inch.
"Sister Tiger, Sister Eagle." Zhong Wen greeted the two spiritual beasts with a smile.
"You're here." Bai Hu responded in a friendly manner.
The giant eagle just nodded slightly, indicating that he had not ignored his presence.
Zhong Wen didn't say much, just held the earthen pot and slowly poured the well water soaked in the "Tai Sui Pearl" onto the small blue spiritual flower.
"What are you doing?" Giant Eagle couldn't help but ask.
"This is divine water, which can help spiritual flowers grow quickly." Zhong Wen explained.
After all, the two spiritual beasts were not human beings. When they heard the word "divine water", they did not show a sarcastic attitude, but instead showed strong interest.
"Does it also work on other elixirs?" Bai Hu thought first.
"Of course, the divine water is effective on all plants." Zhong Wen boasted proudly.
"There are a few spiritual fruit plants in the back mountain, which are also very rare varieties. If you try it and it works, can you feed some 'sacred water' to those spiritual fruit plants?" the giant eagle suddenly said.
"Sister Ying has a destiny, how dare Zhong Wen disobey her." Zhong Wen looked very attentive.
"Thank you!" The proud giant eagle rarely expressed its gratitude.
"The effect of the 'sacred water' will be visible in the next two days. Please wait patiently, two sisters." Zhong Wen explained carefully, then walked away with the earthen jar, leaving two spiritual beasts there.
Staring with small eyes, he continued to suffer.

"Miss Nangong, nice to meet you!"
Looking at the tall and handsome young man in front of him, a glimmer of light flashed in Nangong Ling's eyes: "Could it be that you are Duan Lei, the 22nd-ranked 'Fire Cloud Spear' on the Daqian Heroes List?"
"I didn't expect that Miss Nangong could still remember her name. It's really Duan's honor." Duan Lei once met Nangong Ling from a distance by chance. He was shocked at that time. When they met by chance, he couldn't help but strike up a conversation.
"I wonder if Brother Duan has any advice?" Nangong Ling asked with a smile, his beautiful eyes showing infinite charm, which made Duan Lei so excited that he almost forgot to answer.
"I dare not give you advice, but the southern Xinjiang province is not peaceful. Miss Nangong is traveling alone with only one maid. Duan is worried about the safety of the lady and wants to offer himself as a companion to protect the safety of the lady." Duan Lei took it for granted.
He thought the woman in green next to Nangong Ling was a "maid".
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Duan. However, I have walked this road back to my master's door hundreds of times and have never encountered any danger, so I won't bother Brother Duan." Nangong Ling declined politely.
"Miss Nangong..." Duan Lei was about to say more, but he saw Nangong Ling gently lift the reins of the horse, and the red horse under his crotch rode Juechen, and soon ran away, leaving only a small black dot in the distance.
Looking at the retreating figure of the peerless Miss Nangong, Duan Lei's eyes flashed with lust, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In the corner of Cangyun City, there is a small and dilapidated "Fusheng Inn". Not only is the condition simple, but it is also extremely expensive. However, the owner of the inn seems to have no awareness of this. Even though the business is bleak, he still manages it happily.
.
At nearly noon, a man in white clothes wearing a hat appeared in front of the inn.
Walking into the inn door, the guest in white looked around and saw that the lobby was empty. There was not a single customer. The innkeeper was a middle-aged man with a horse-faced face. He had an ordinary appearance and would disappear in a crowd.
.
The waiter was young, but he was sleeping soundly on an unclean dining table with his head hanging down, not caring whether it would damage the image of the inn.
"Guest, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?" Hearing someone come in, the shopkeeper asked proactively, with a dry tone and no smile on his face.
"I heard that the human meat buns in your store are good." Baiyi Ke's voice was soft and slightly hoarse.
"The human meat buns in our store are not cheap." The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes with a cold look in his eyes.
"I still have the money to buy a human meat bun." The voice of the guest in white became softer.
"What level of human meat buns?" asked the shopkeeper.
"The buns are about four layers thick."
"Name, address, appearance."
"Zhong Wen, Piaohua Palace in Qingfeng Mountain, this is what he looks like." The guest in white took out a portrait painting from his arms. The person in the painting was 67% similar to Zhong Wen. "This is what happened in Piaohua Palace."
A man is easy to identify."
"Human-level human flesh buns, one hundred spirit crystals." The shopkeeper said calmly.
"There are masters of the Heavenly Wheel in Piaohua Palace, so I will offer two hundred spiritual crystals." The guest in white actually raised the price, "Please arrange for the best master to ensure success."
"Guests, please rest assured that all the chefs in this shop are top-notch." Seeing him being so polite, the shopkeeper's tone couldn't help but soften a little, "Our rules here are to collect half of the deposit first, and the guests can come after ten days.
Take the bun and pay the remaining half."
"Do I need to leave my name?" asked the man in white.
"No need, the store has its own way of knowing." The shopkeeper paused and then said, "Guests, please rest assured that your identity information is absolutely safe."
"Please." As he said that, the guest in white pressed a spiritual crystal ticket on the counter with his index finger, gently pushed it in front of the shopkeeper, and then turned around and left the inn.
"Do you think that after weakening the Tantai family, I won't be able to deal with you?"
When he reached the corner of the street, the man in white held up the hat on his head and revealed a pair of spiteful eyes, "Wanjin Tower has such a great reputation, so don't let me down..."

The translation task issued by "Xinhua Zangjing Pavilion" gave Zhong Wen a headache for a while. With his current writing skills, trying to translate an entire book was tantamount to wishful thinking.
On this day, when he saw the little Loli holding a storybook and reading it with gusto, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
It’s just a translation, and I didn’t say you have to translate it yourself!
"Xiaodie, can you do me a favor?" Zhong Wen had an extremely gentle smile on his face.
"What?" Little Loli looked up at him in confusion.
"It's too boring to keep reciting "Mongolian Studies". I thought of a good way to learn Chinese characters." Zhong Wen showed an attitude of enthusiastic learning, "Why don't you read a storybook to me, and then I will record it in my own way. , and if you recite it again and again, the effect should be much better."
"Okay." The little Loli felt the same way about the boring "Education", and said with her two pigtails curling up, "Then I will read to you this book "The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with Me", written by a man named Feng in the imperial capital. My sister wrote it, it’s very interesting.”
Zhong Wen: “…..”
When I was young, I saw all kinds of messy things...
Zhong Wen is deeply worried about the education of little Lolita.
However, in order to complete the task, I didn’t care about all these things at the moment. The story book in the little Loli’s hand didn’t look too thick, and the names were relatively easy to understand. It was the best choice to complete the task.
"That's it, this is fine, wait until I get some pen and paper." Zhong Wen quickly prepared the pen and paper and sat in front of the table, "Master Lin, please enlighten me!"
"In a dilapidated small house, Feng Qingyu is bending down to scrub the dirty wooden floor. The ragged clothes cannot hide her beautiful face..." The little Loli shook her head and started reciting. The content of this story is simple. , the dialogue is simple, it tells a cliché story about a girl from a poor family who falls in love with a domineering prince, and Cinderella transforms into a golden phoenix. Zhong Wen wrote it down in Chinese characters while writing.
From time to time, Zhong Wen's requests to "read slower" and "I didn't hear the sentence clearly, please try again" came from time to time in the room...
