Pushing open the cave door, the midday sun shone on his face. Li Xuangang raised his head and glanced at the sky, then walked out of the cave entrance, turned around and closed the cave door.
When he arrived at the foot of Taiqiu Mountain, he immediately jumped on the ink green flying boat he took out of his storage bag, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a ray of light and headed north.
Half a month later, Mo Qing's flying boat appeared on the outskirts of Zuofang City. Seeing that it was about to arrive, Li Xuangang also stopped the flying boat and jumped off it.
This place is a raised hill. From here, you can see Mangshanfang City not far away. He turned around and put the Mo Qing Feizhou into his storage bag, and then looked over there.
Judging from the naked eye, the scale of Mangshanfang City was indeed much larger than he had imagined.
Nowadays, there are more than ten streets in Fang City, and at the gate of Fang City, there are many monks coming and going, most of them are casual cultivators, and there are also some sect monks and family disciples.
He didn't delay for long, he still had his own things to do here, so after a brief observation, he got up and walked to Mangshanfang City.
...
After entering Fangshi and passing through several streets, Li Xuangang ignored the shops around him and walked straight to the innermost part of Fangshi, finally stopping in front of a weapon refining pavilion.
It is the weapon refining pavilion of the Corpse Ghost Sect!
After so many years, the head of this Weapon Refining Pavilion has still not changed. It is still Xu San, whom Li Xuangang has interacted with many times.
The two sat across from each other in a room on the second floor. After greeting each other, Xu San spoke:
"We haven't seen each other for so many years, and fellow Daoist Li has actually entered the middle stage of foundation building. It seems that he has encountered many opportunities in these years."
Li Xuangang smiled slightly and then said:
"It's just a fluke, but...after so many years, I never thought that Fellow Daoist Xu would still be here?"
Waving his hands, Xu Sanmian showed a little helplessness and said:
"In the past few years, I chose to retreat to break through the realm, but I failed. I also know that there is no hope of entering the golden elixir realm in this life, so I simply stayed here. It is not controlled by the sect, but it is more comfortable."
Thinking of Xu San's current longevity, Li Xuangang also knew that if there was no great opportunity in the future, the chance of Xu San entering the realm of golden elixir would be slim indeed.
Then he sighed, thinking that his fifth uncle was also in retreat now, and he didn't know if he could successfully break through.
After a long time, Xu San spoke again:
"I don't know if Fellow Daoist Li is here this time, but do you need help with anything?"
After hearing this, Li Xuangang took out the items he had prepared and said:
"I can't hide it from my Taoist friends. When Li comes here this time, he really has two things to trouble you about."
Seeing the Xuanyin Sha appearing in front of him, Xu San picked it up and inspected it. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he put it down after a moment.
"Third-order Xuanyin Sand? This thing is not easy to find. Fellow Daoist Li is preparing..."
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xu can help me refine another Xuanyin armor, just like last time."
"That green dragon refining corpse?"
"Well, yes, but can I directly refine a third-level magic weapon this time?"
Xu San was silent for a moment, and then spoke:
"With all due respect, the Xuanyin Sand brought by Fellow Daoist Li may not be enough, if..."
Having said this, Li Xuangang gently interrupted his words and said:
"Li also knows this, but this is the limit of what I can search for. Fellow Taoist Xu, you also know that our Li family in Taiqiu Mountain is only a small family after all, so it is a little more difficult to search for this kind of thing."
"Therefore, if Fellow Daoist Xu has the connections, I am willing to charge 10% of the market price for the remaining third-order Xuanyin Sand, and I will also give Fellow Daoist Xu an additional reward."
"As for the other materials needed to refine the Xuanyin Armor, Fellow Daoist Xu should have them in the Artifact Refining Pavilion, so you can just buy them all from me when the time comes."
Xu San was stunned. If he could really refine such a third-level magic weapon of Xuanyin Armor, the amount of spiritual stones needed would be quite a lot.
It seems that Li Xuangang has indeed had opportunities in recent years. Not only has his cultivation improved to a small level, but he may even have obtained a lot of spiritual stones.
However, the other party's move was also to take care of the business of his own weapon refining pavilion. The remaining materials for refining Xuanyin Armor are not difficult to find, and he can collect them himself.
After a while of silence, Xu San said:
"I have known Fellow Daoist Li for many years. Now that you have spoken, Xu has no reason to delay. As for Fellow Daoist giving me additional compensation, I will be exempted from it. As long as Fellow Daoist Li pays for the materials and refining costs."
Li Xuangang smiled and then thanked him:
"In this case, I really need to thank fellow Taoist Xu. If I need help with anything in the future, Li will do my best and will never refuse."
Xu San put away the Xuanyin sand and then asked again:
"Besides this matter, what other matters does Fellow Taoist have?"
Li Xuangang smiled softly after hearing this, and then said:
"Actually, in addition to asking my fellow Taoist to help me refine a piece of Xuanyin armor this time, I also have another magical weapon..."
"oh?"
Li Xuangang stretched out his hand, and a dark iron chain appeared in his hand. It exuded a cold and forbidding aura, and it only took a moment to catch Xu San's attention.
Li Xuangang handed it over, and Xu San inspected it carefully after taking it.
"Fellow Daoist Li Jiu is really secretive. He actually has a magic weapon of this level... Hey, this soul-locking chain seems..."
Seeing that Xu San could see the problem, Li Xuangang was secretly happy, and then he said:
"To be honest with fellow Taoist, I got this thing by chance before, but there is a crack in it, so I thought of bringing it to fellow Taoist to see if it can be repaired?"
After looking at the soul-locking chain in his hand for a few more times, he put it down and Xu San said:
"Well, I have not refined or repaired the original third-level high-grade magic weapon. But I see that the scars on this soul-locking chain, fellow Taoist, are not big, so I can give it a try, but I have agreed beforehand.
, I just gave it a try, whether it can be restored to its original state depends on fate, and fellow Daoist Li don't have too much hope."
"Li naturally knows this. Fellow Taoist, even if you repair it, no matter whether it is successful or not, I still owe you my favor."
...
By the time Li Xuangang left, there were already 4,500 spirit stones missing from the storage bag. This was the reward he paid for refining the Xuanyin Armor and repairing the Soul Locking Chain.
Moreover, he also agreed with Xu San that when the two magical artifacts were refined and repaired, he would hand them over to the Li family's caravan, who would naturally take them back to Taiqiu Mountain.
Walking on the streets of Mangshanfang City, Li Xuangang felt relaxed for a while. The two most important things before the retreat had been taken care of. When he returned to his family, he could practice in retreat with peace of mind.
However, before leaving Mangshan City completely, he searched for high-level monster blood in this city.
But although Mangshanfang City has expanded, it is still a small city in essence, so the high-level monster blood he was looking for was not found here.
This is a bit of a pity, but it's not a big deal.
After he left the area of ​​Mangshanfang City, he summoned the Mo Qing Flying Boat and flew away towards Taiqiu Mountain.
Half a month later, his escaping light had entered the family, so he put away his airship and landed at the Shanggong Hall on the mountainside.
Here, as a family elder, he issued a mission, requiring his clansmen to search for the blood essence of high-level monsters for him in various cities, and he used his family's contribution points as a reward.
After confirming that there was no problem with the mission, he left the Shanggong Hall and walked to his cave.
But as soon as I got closer, I found a figure standing at the door of my cave, wandering around!
The figure saw Li Xuangang coming back, so he took the initiative to greet him!
