When Bai Ran was thinking secretly in the bedroom, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around and walked out.
When he came to the gate of the cave that had been sealed for many years and had not been opened, he saw at a glance that there were seven or eight transmission notes of different colors in the forbidden area in front of the cave, just like headless flies scurrying around.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ran raised his eyebrows, took out the prohibition token, uttered the word "accept", and all the transmission notes flew into his hands like an amnesty.
Bai Ran didn't leave here, but looked at them one by one calmly.
Less than half of these transmission notes are congratulatory messages from the monks in the alchemy stage who live nearby. The other part is actually solicitation messages from several large and small organizations. Some are willing to use their seats as guest elders, while others are
They used rare treasures as hiring fees, and one even offered a pair of stunning maids as a gift to recruit him.
Hearing these contents, Bai Ran rolled his eyes secretly.
Those monks in the alchemy stage politely responded to the transmission notes, while those from large and small organizations directly rejected them.
He doesn't think that he can sit back and relax after entering the pill formation stage. It's better to spend some time consolidating his realm and continue to keep a low profile!
In the following days, Bai Ran began to frequently visit the caves of several nearby alchemy monks, and humbly asked for advice on some issues that should be paid attention to after entering the alchemy stage.
Because what he asked about was not a secret, these monks were happy to give him some pointers during casual conversation.
Let Bai Ran gain a lot!
However, these monks were also very envious that Bai Ran could maintain such a youthful appearance after forming the elixir.
After all, unless they are born with extraordinary talents, or like Bai Ran, who have many magical medicines to assist them in their cultivation, most monks are quite old when they form elixirs.
Even if your longevity is greatly increased after taking the elixir, your face will not return to the appearance of your youth. At most, the degree of aging will be greatly reduced in the future.
Of course, the exercises some people practice have miraculous effects on their appearance. Some people can still be as young as boys and girls after forming the elixir.
This time, Bai Ran didn't want to be precious, so he immediately used the few pills he had to buy some rare items from their hands, and everyone was very happy.
After several interactions like this, although Bai Ran and these people could not be called good friends, they finally became familiar with each other.
We all get along pretty well with each other, saying "fellow Taoist" and "brother" to me.
During this period, Bai Ran was simultaneously refining the "Green Brilliance Sword" and looking for materials to refine magic weapons and third-level puppets.
There are many materials that can be used to refine magic weapons, and the refining methods are even more bizarre and varied.
With the same time and effort spent on cultivation, a magic weapon made from good materials has completely different power and greater potential for improvement than one made from ordinary materials.
And even if the same materials are used, if the secret method of refining similar magic weapons is different, the power and efficacy will be very different.
Therefore, in addition to some common magic weapon refining methods that everyone knows, there are also slightly special refining secret methods that various sects and forces will not easily leak.
But this does not mean that with the best materials and the best method of refining the treasure, this magic weapon will definitely be infinitely powerful after it is released.
The true power of a magic weapon mainly depends on the continuous cultivation and nourishment in the soul of the monks who refine it.
If the owner of the magic weapon is lazy and refuses to spend time on it, the power of the rare treasure will not be as powerful as an ordinary magic weapon. This is also normal.
As for the "Qingzhu Peak Cloud Sword" that Bai Ran wants to refine, as the name suggests, the main material must be refined from thousands of years of spiritual bamboo.
Originally, this material could be easily obtained with the ripening function of Bairan's vial, and it would take some time. But he did not pay attention to those ordinary bamboos. Instead, he wanted to find some legendary exotic bamboos.
, used as the main material for refining magic weapons.
As a result, Bai Ran has been squatting in Tianxing City, but he has never been able to get a variety that satisfies him.
Although he felt a little anxious, Bai Ran had to put the matter of refining the magic weapon on hold for the time being.
Fortunately, he still had the "Green Brilliance Sword" and several talismans for protection, so he was not worried for the time being!
Since the magic weapon could not be refined by hand, Bai Ran naturally turned his attention to making new puppets.
According to what is said in the Puppet Scripture, the third-level puppet's full blow is equivalent to that of a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. The materials for refining are becoming more and more expensive, and several different forms of puppets have appeared.
After careful consideration, Bai Ran chose an ape-shaped puppet made mainly of wooden materials.
Although this kind of puppet requires a lot more years of iron wood, and rare sky crystal wood needs to be mixed in when refining it.
But since they are all made of wood, Bairan can naturally be spawned with green liquid, which can greatly reduce the cost.
But even so, the other auxiliary materials for the same upgrade are still a huge amount. In addition, the number of controllable puppets has increased, and the total cost will naturally become more and more astonishing.
Although these spiritual stones did not bankrupt Bai Ran, they made him impoverished again after gathering the materials.
In desperation, Bai Ran had no choice but to release some rare materials of level five monsters again to alleviate the embarrassing situation.
But Bai Ran didn't expect that even though he was extremely careful, the release of the material this time would still attract the attention of interested people.
On this day, he had just completed a transaction with a small merchant from out of town with some materials. When he was about to return to the cave, he was stopped by a beautiful girl on the street.
"Is this Senior Bai? My wife invites you to the Qinghe Teahouse not far away! Can you please go there as a favor? If you don't go, the little girl will be severely punished by my wife." This young girl looked pitiful.
said.
"Not interested!" Bai Ran glanced at the girl and refused without hesitation.
He could tell at a glance that although this woman was only in the Qi Refining Stage, she seemed to have practiced some kind of charm technique, and she secretly used it on him without knowing the importance of it. Naturally, she would not look good on him.
After hearing Bai Ran's words, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl panicked and begged hurriedly:
"Senior Bai! If you don't go, it will be difficult for this junior to do business. Even if I beg you..."
Before the girl could finish speaking, Bai Ran turned around and left with an indifferent expression.
Although he didn't know who the other party was, he had no interest in meeting a strange woman.
"Senior Bai, wait a minute! Junior Miaoyinmen Fan Jingmei is here to pay respects to Senior Bai. I am not strict in my discipline. I offended Lian'er just now. I hope you will forgive me, senior!"
Just as Bai Ran left the girl behind and took two steps out, a sweet female voice came from behind.
He couldn't help but stop and look back.
At some point, a woman wearing a gauze appeared next to the girl. Although her face could not be seen clearly, her skin was as white as snow, and her hair was black and shiny, tied up high, with two
Her bright eyes were as clear as water, looking at Bai Ran without blinking.
"I don't know Madam. If you have any questions, please keep it short. Bai has to go back to his hometown to practice!" Bai Ran said calmly, with a hint of repulsion in his words.
The woman who called herself "Fan Jingmei" was slightly startled when she heard this, but immediately said with a chuckle:
"Since Senior Bai is so cheerful, the little girl will tell you directly. Has Senior recently sold a large amount of rare monster materials? Our sect is very interested in these materials and would like to have a good discussion with Senior. But there are many people here, Senior.
How about you come with me to the quiet room of the teahouse to have a chat?"
Hearing the other person's self-narration and words of invitation, Bai Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman carefully for a long time. When the other person's eyes showed a hint of shyness, he said stiffly:
"Okay, you lead the way!"
"Thank you, Senior, for the compliment. Senior Bai, please come over here!" The woman's eyes showed a bit of joy, and she hurriedly took a step forward, while the girl followed behind dejectedly.
However, although the girl was walking in front, she still couldn't help but look back and took another peek. She happened to meet Bai Ran's eyes. The girl named Lian'er was so frightened that she hurriedly turned back to her neck, her ears
There was a lot of blushing everywhere.
This made Bai Ran look half-smiling, and she felt a little dumbfounded in her heart.
The teahouse that the Miaoyinmen woman mentioned was not far away. After a while, Bai Ran followed them into an attic where a huge "tea" flag was hung.
There were not many people drinking tea at this time. One of the middle-aged people who was drinking tea saw the woman and the girl coming in. He quickly got up and ran to him and said:
"Uncle, the room has been reserved! You can go in with your guests!"
"Okay, you will stay outside the door until then." Fan Jingmei ordered calmly.
"yes"
Then, under the leadership of the middle-aged man, the two women and Bai Ran went up to the second floor and entered an elegant single room.
There was actually an old man in gray clothes inside the house, who was calmly brewing a pot of steaming hot tea. When Bai Ran and others came in, he still didn't even move his eyelids.
