Shi Mu was chatting with the frowning Hotan shopkeeper. There was a cup of fragrant tea on the table next to him. The heat had dissipated and it seemed that it had not been touched.
"I didn't expect that she would actually come to the ancient Xixia Kingdom... Shopkeeper Tian, can you send her a message for me?" Shi Mu pondered for a moment and said.
"Yes. Master Xu has told me that we will settle the settlement with fellow Taoist Mu at half the price, and five hundred spirit stones will suffice." Shopkeeper Tian said.
Shi Mu didn't say anything more. He took out a letter from the Chenmiao Ring and handed it over together with five middle-grade spiritual stones.
Shopkeeper Tian reached out and took it. After the two chatted for a while, shopkeeper Tian said goodbye and left.
Shi Mu leaned on the wooden chair, closed his eyes, and calmed down.
A moment later, an old voice came from outside the door.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, I'm really sorry. I just had something urgent to deal with and kept you waiting for a long time." Xu Luzi hurriedly walked in from the door without sitting down and walked straight to Shi Mu.
"Master Xu has a lot of things to do. It doesn't matter if I wait for a while. I just wonder how my weapon refining is going?" Shi Mu asked.
"This... it's really hard to explain in words. Once Taoist friend Mu saw it with his own eyes, he naturally understood it." Xu Luzi paused in his steps and said with a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"Okay, master, please lead the way." Shi Mu said with a sudden thought.
Xu Luzi didn't say much, and immediately turned around and walked out of the hall.
The two passed through several warehouse-like courtyards and came to a courtyard made of gray boulders.
At this time, the courtyard door is open, and you can see a lot of iron materials neatly stacked inside, as well as several huge stone reservoirs.
People were coming and going in the courtyard, most of them were strong and muscular men with upper body and upper body. They were holding various materials or tools in their hands and going in and out of various rooms.
Xu Luzi walked directly into the courtyard and walked straight towards a small independent stone house in the depths. Shi Mu followed Xu Luzi step by step and looked over.
This stone house is entirely made of light blue stone, which makes it quite special in the entire courtyard.
"Master Xu!"
"master!"
All the strong men he met on the road stopped respectfully and saluted Xu Luzi.
Xu Luzi smiled and nodded in response.
Soon, Xu Luzi and Shi Mu entered the blue stone house.
This is a small personal fire room with a large stove in the middle of the room.
What surprised Shi Mu was that although there was a faint red light coming from the fire, the whole stone room did not feel hot. It seemed that there was some clever magic circle that blocked the temperature.
Not far from the big furnace, there is a dark square forged platform, and next to the platform is an iron weapons rack.
On the shelf, in addition to a bone-white long bow, there is also a pair of dark long knives and short sticks. Their appearance seems to be roughly the same as before. Next to the shelf, there is also a pot of arrows with black tail feathers, almost two of them.
It looks like ten sticks.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, how about you take a look at this bow first? I used the sinews of the black-winged gryphon as strings to refining it, and used its feathers to make twenty vulture tail arrows." Xu Luzi stepped forward and said,
He picked up the Heaven-breaking Bow and the pot of black feather arrows from the weapon rack, turned around and handed them to Shi Mu.
Shi Mu took it and saw that the original bone-white bow body and wings of Potian Bow had many spiritual patterns on the surface, and the bow string also had a new look. There were twenty black-feathered arrows in the pot, and the feathers at the tail end were exactly the same.
It is taken from the black-winged griffon, and there are circles of fine runes engraved on the arrow shaft.
Both of them emitted a strong wave of mana, and they were both top-grade magic weapons.
Shi Mu nodded with satisfaction, and with a flash of white light in his hand, he put away the Heaven-breaking Bow and the Eagle Tail Arrow, and said:
"Thank you Master Xu."
Xu Luzi waved his hand and handed over the iron black knife and short stick on the weapon rack.
Shi Mu reached out to take the knife and stick and weighed it in his hand. He felt that the weight did not seem to have changed much, but the diameter was slightly smaller than before. This must be because the impurities in it had been removed.
The structure of the two is roughly the same as before, and they can also be combined into an eight-foot-long Mo Dao.
For some reason, when he held the meteorite black knife and short stick in his hands this time, an indescribable feeling of intimacy welled up in his heart.
Shi Mu thought of Xu Luzi's strange behavior before. After a closer look, he immediately discovered something unusual. There were no talisman formations engraved on the meteorite black knife or short stick.
Shi Mu raised his head and looked at Xu Luzi with some confusion.
Before he could speak, Xu Luzi took the initiative to explain:
"Fellow Daoist Mu, I feel ashamed to say this. I am a little overconfident..."
It turned out that after Xu Luzi purified the impurities in the two weapons, he planned to send people to inscribe talismans on the two weapons. But to his surprise, the hardness of the two weapons increased greatly after purification, and he exhausted all conventional and
Unconventional methods failed to leave even the slightest trace on it, let alone inscribe the talisman array.
"Master Xu, do you mean that these two weapons have no possibility of becoming magical weapons?" Shi Mu frowned and asked.
"Indeed." Xu Luzi nodded apologetically.
After saying that, Xu Luzi's hand flashed with light, and the bag of spiritual stones that Shi Mu had previously paid for appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Shi Mu.
"Fellow Taoist Mu, this time I made a mistake. I couldn't do what I promised before, so I can only return the spiritual stones as they were." Xu Luzi sighed softly.
"I wonder if Master Xu can borrow this fire chamber for next time?" Shi Mu suddenly asked after taking the spirit stone.
"Of course." Xu Luzi was slightly startled, nodded, and then explained in detail how to use the fire chamber.
After Xu Luzi left, Shi Mu turned his hand over and found an extra porcelain bottle, which contained the golden lizard venom he had left behind.
He walked towards the forging platform with a slight frown on his face, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
…
The main altar of the Ming Yue Sect, in the meeting hall of the Hades Temple.
At this time, the large stone chairs of the ten main hall masters were all filled except for the middle-aged people Liu An and Kuokou.
"Where did Palace Master Liu and Palace Master Tang go?" asked the white-haired old man sitting on the right side of the main seat.
His face seemed much older than a few days ago, and the ravines on his already wrinkled face became more dense.
"I am reporting to you, Protector, that Palace Master Tang's spiritual pet, the Crystal Skull, encountered an accident near the Ghost Realm Altar. He is now in the Ghost Realm and claims to find the murderer himself. As for Palace Master Liu, I don't know," said the curly-haired young man Huo Qing.
"Ignore the two of them for now. I believe everyone has heard about what happened in the past two days. The specific situation will be explained in detail by the master of the Jumen Palace who has just returned from the front line." The right protector said and looked at the left
On the side is a big man with a scar on his face and a slightly tired look.
"Everyone, Tongtian Immortal Sect and Tianmo Sect entered the country of Self-Defense and Chen respectively two days ago. In one day and one night, the two provinces of Donglin and Linhai in the southeast and Heihe Province in the northeast have fallen. Moreover, the troops of these two sects captured
After entering the town, except for a few disciples left to take care of it, the rest of the large army is still approaching the west day and night. If they keep advancing at this speed, I am afraid that within a month, they will be at the city." The scarred man smiled at everyone.
He nodded, and then a hoarse voice rang out
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy, and everyone was secretly digesting the news just now.
"This is the situation. Hall masters, please tell me what you think." The white-haired old man said.
"Almost all the disciples participating in the sea-going competition have arrived. If the vast ship is in place, Palace Master Liu's plan can come true." After a moment of silence, the Palace Master who looked like a young woman said.
"Palace Master Sun, may I ask where the ship is now? You can't see him, Master Liu, now. I'm afraid he hasn't even got a ship yet!" Huo Qing snorted.
"Palace Master Cang Lang, what you said is unfair. Hall Master Liu originally promised a two-month period, but now it's only been half a month." Di Feng, a red-browed man, refuted.
"This moment is the same as that moment. Now that the war is urgent, even if we are willing to wait for two months, do you think Tongtian Immortal Sect and Tianmo Sect will give us this opportunity? When the main altar is surrounded, Master Liu will bring the Vast Sea Giant
What's the use of a boat? To hold corpses?" Huo Qing sneered.
"You..." Di Feng was furious for a moment.
"Right Protector, fellow palace masters, Liu An is late for something, please forgive me." Just as the atmosphere in the palace was tense, Liu An's voice came from outside the palace.
However, he was still wearing a moon-white robe and walked in from the door of the palace with a calm expression. He first saluted the white-haired old man and then stood there without moving.
"Palace Master Liu, you are late for such an important meeting. Have you gone to pick up your twenty giant ships in the vast sea?" Huo Qing sneered.
"Exactly." Liu An smiled calmly and said.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the palace were startled, and then they were replaced by expressions of surprise.
"Okay!" The white-haired old man also had a look of joy in his eyes. He stood up suddenly and couldn't help but say "good".
"How is this possible!" Huo Qing said in disbelief.
"Everyone, this matter is related to the life and death of our religion. You might as well move on and come to the beach to see." Liu An said with a slight smile.
Naturally, everyone had no objections to Liu An's proposal.
Half an hour later.
Outside Quyang City, on a remote and deserted shore of the West Sea, a group of senior officials from the Mingyue Sect gathered here.
"Master Liu, let us see your sea-crossing ship now," Huo Qing said.
Everyone else also looked at Liu An expectantly.
Liu An didn't say anything. With a flash of light in his hand, a mini sea boat with a square head and square tail appeared out of thin air. There were circles of fine and delicate runes printed all over it, making it look mysterious and unusual.
At the same time, an unusually strong spiritual power wave came from it, and it was a spiritual weapon.
"That's right, it's a giant ship in the vast sea!" The right protector nodded.
Liu An didn't say anything, but injected a burst of mana into the mini-sea boat in his hand. He tossed it casually, and the mini-sea boat was wrapped in a cloud of gray air and slowly fell to the sea.
The mini ship's entire body flashed with light, rapidly rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a huge black ship appeared on the sea.
This ship has a square head and square stern, and is covered with various rune patterns. It is fifty feet long, more than ten feet wide, and four or five feet high. It floats on the sea like a towering hill. There are two rows of black holes on the side strings.
The square muzzle is now covered by the guard wood.
The main body of the ship is an antique five-story pavilion. Behind the pavilion is a mainmast surrounded by several people, and a wide and huge sail more than ten feet high hangs on it. There is a faint flash of spiritual light on the sail.
Liu An kept moving his right hand, and the light in his hand kept flashing, and identical giant boats in the vast sea kept appearing on the coast.
When everything came to a halt, twenty giant ships on the vast sea were parked in a row on the beach, like a large dark cloud, forming a dense black mass.
"How is this possible..." Huo Qing couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.
The rest of the people, including Di Feng, also tutted, and everyone looked at Liu An with a hint of reverence.
After all, having so many giant ships in the vast sea means that we can move a large number of elite disciples from the sect to the Xihe Continent as we wish.
"Okay! Palace Master Liu is true to his word, and we will implement Palace Master Liu's plan next. Pass the order, the whole city will be under martial law, news of the war will be blocked, and no one will be allowed to leave the city." Right Protector ordered.
