Winter has entered in the blink of an eye, and Hongye City has also experienced heavy snowfall for days. The ground is covered with silver frost and the ice is thickening.
On this day, the light of the imperial weapon came from afar, passed through the hazy clear light of the bone-viewing mirror, and fell on the snow-covered city wall.
A girl jumped down from the flying sword and stepped on the thick snow, making a "crunching" sound.
"Brother, is this Hongye City guarded by dad's good friend?"
The girl's name was Qian Xiaofeng. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, her face was red from the cold, and she spoke with a white breath.
Her brother Qian Xiaohu was a little two years older, and his words and deeds were quite steady. After putting away the flying sword, he smiled fondly and said: "Flying for thousands of miles, have I ever lost my bearings? Of course it is this city."
"Qingyang City, where my Qian family is located, also has a garrison department. Even if you want to gain experience in slaying demons, you can just go there. Dad...why do you have to have us come here to show your name?"
Qian Xiaofeng had no complaints about joining the Guard Division for training, but she just didn't quite understand her father's request.
The father of the two brothers and sisters is Qian Xingji, the manager of Baodan Pavilion!
Some time ago, Qian Xiaohu had just been promoted to the Qi Gathering Realm and had stabilized his cultivation. Shopkeeper Qian urged the brothers and sisters to rush to this city.
Qian Xiaohu knew more and felt the change in the tribe's attitude towards his brother and sister in recent days.
"My father rebelled against my uncle, and the relationship with the family is also somewhat delicate."
"Perhaps... we are worried about what accidents will happen if we continue to practice within the clan!"
"As for joining the Qingyang Town Chief Supervisor, I am too close to the family, and there are many clan members on duty in this branch. I can't avoid the limelight even if I want to."
Qian Xiaohu thought silently in his heart.
However, he did not say these words to Qian Xiaofengming.
He just touched her head and said, "What father does depends on his own considerations! Xiaofeng, don't think too much about it."
"In addition, the local garrison commander is my father's business partner..."
"With him taking care of us, you and I don't have to worry about being wronged!"
Qian Xiaofeng knocked off her brother's hand in dissatisfaction, and then said wistfully: "I heard from my father that this senior is a genius of the Linjiang Sect, with extraordinary magical skills and extraordinary magical powers!"
"What you are talking about is Commander Shen Mochen?"
Not far away, a monk guarding the city walked over through the snow.
It's freezing cold, but this person is wearing thin clothes. He obviously has Qi Gathering Realm cultivation and is not afraid of cold or heat.
This correction is made by Tao Dong. This ten days, it is his turn to guard the city wall again.
When Qian Xiaohu and his sister stood at the top of the city talking, they did not shy away from others. Tao Dong overheard their words and became interested and came over to ask.
"It's Senior Shen."
Qian Xiaohu greeted Tao Dong with a friendly expression and said, "I don't know what to call you?"
"My surname is Tao Mingdong..."
Tao Dong saw that the flying swords used by Qian Xiaohu and the robes they wore were of extraordinary quality. He also knew that their father had an old relationship with Shen Mo, so he seemed quite eager.
Brother and sister Qian Xiaohu are new here, so they won't treat them coldly if a local monk takes the initiative to show their kindness.
After some conversation, the three of them quickly became familiar with each other.
"When Commander Shen first arrived in Hongye City, the first local monk he met was me, Old Tao."
"When we were leaving, he personally invited me to be the head of the guard department..."
"..."
"When it comes to Commander Shen's abilities, I know very well."
"As soon as he arrived at the garrison department, he forcefully drove away a group of silverfish who were eating their money. Soon after, a demon sneaked into the city..."
"After the Tian family's spirit sea realm was injured, they didn't dare to play tricks with Shen Zhang anymore, so they obediently took out a large sum of spirit stones."
"Shortly afterwards, the two immortal sects, Jinchan Tower and Doujin Sect, successively handed over the spirit stones, and even sent several elders to come and sign their names. Naturally, other sects followed suit."
"Today's garrison department is completely different from the past!"
"There are thirty or forty monks in the Qi Gathering Realm alone. They are above the seventh level of the Body Forging Realm, and the number exceeds two hundred. They are extremely powerful!"
"The record is also outstanding. I don't know how many demons have been killed..."
Tao Dong's long talk made Qian Xiaohu and Qian Xiaofeng feel very excited, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.
At the same time, in the residence of the Guarding Secretary, there was a training quiet room.
Shen Mo's face was solemn, and he kept making seals with his hands, and carved complicated inscriptions into the knife-shaped magic weapon suspended in front of him.
[You used cold crystal, spiritual iron, fire frost gold, blood silver ore, etc. to successfully cast the Xuan-level mid-grade magic weapon Cold Flame Knife. During the forging process, your understanding of the art of casting has improved, and you have gained experience in casting. 50】
"Qiang!"
Shen Mo flicked the blade with his finger, and flame-like patterns flowed on it, which was particularly beautiful.
"The quality is acceptable!" Shen Mo murmured.
Immediately, he put the cold flame knife into the Qiankun bag embroidered with cloud patterns.
The original low-grade Qiankun Bag was no longer sufficient for his daily use, so Shen Mo spent fifteen middle-grade spiritual stones to buy a high-grade Qiankun Bag.
The space inside is three hundred cubic meters, which is three times the size of the middle-grade Qiankun Bag.
In addition, this type of high-end Qiankun bag has another advantage. Even if it is stolen or robbed, it cannot be easily broken open.
Even if the boundary-breaking talisman is used!
At this time, in the Qiankun Bag, in addition to Shen Mo's commonly used spiritual objects, there are also elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, finished products of these three types of objects, and various refining materials placed in different categories.
There is no need to say more about things related to elixirs.
The talismans and magical instruments are specially prepared for the two newly opened shops.
After discussions with shopkeeper Qian.
The talisman shop is named Lingfuju and specializes in buying and selling finished talismans and talisman refining materials.
The magic weapon shop is named Wanluo Xianbing Building, which specializes in the sale of finished flying swords, magic weapons, inner armor, robes and casting materials. It also provides additional business of repairing magic weapons and robes.
In addition to the first month of opening, Shen Mo invested nearly a hundred medium-grade spiritual stones and purchased a variety of spiritual items from outside. He never spent money on the two stores again.
All we can say is that Shopkeeper Qian does have two skills.
In only the second month, the two new stores were successfully put into operation and made a profit.
Shen Mo benefited a lot from it. Through Lingfuju and Xianbinglou, he collected the materials for making talisman castings. After refining the finished products, he sold them directly through these two new stores.
It saved him a lot of effort and at the same time improved his talisman skills and weapon casting skills.
[Destiny: Shen Mo]
[Cultivation: Qi Gathering Realm Seventh Heaven]
[Fu Dao: Grade 3 (755/6000)]
[Alchemy: Third Grade (5390/6000)]
[Forging: Grade 3 (20/6000)]
With attainments in Fu Dao, he was not far from being promoted before, but now he has suddenly entered the third level.
However, there has been no significant growth recently, and the reason is very simple. His proficiency in second-grade talismans has been maxed out.
It’s not easy to obtain third-grade or fourth-grade talisman scrolls.
As a result, the Fu Dao experience bar increases very slowly, almost to a standstill!
The problem with the alchemy method is not big. You can coax Zhao Lingyin and get some more third- and fourth-grade elixir recipes from her. There is no need to worry too much about the rarity of the elixir recipes.
Relatively speaking, the art of casting has improved a lot.
I just finished refining the Cold Flame Sword and it happened to be promoted to the third level.
After all, with the Immortal Armament Building, Shen Mo's skill at forging weapons will improve every time he casts and repairs different magical weapons and robes.?
