Jiao Chengfeng was deflated in front of Yun Yan but not angry at all, because according to the information they received, someone was secretly assisting Jackal when he came to the Night Continent this time.
Now they were finally sure that this person was Yun Yan, and it was much easier to deal with Yun Yan standing in front of them than to guard against the person hiding in the dark.
Therefore, Jiao Chengfeng felt that spending one million gold to buy such information was simply too profitable.
Fortunately, his thoughts would not be known to Yun Yan, otherwise, Yun Yan would definitely feel that he was really losing money on this business.
However, Yun Yan was kept in the dark from beginning to end. He didn't know what Lu Ming wanted to do from the beginning. As for Lu Tianjiao who appeared later, Yun Yan believed that she really wanted to kill Jackal for revenge.
But until he entered the Night Continent, Jackal didn't tell him the truth.
Therefore, Yun Yan didn't know who the enemies he was going to face were, whether these so-called enemies should be killed, and whether he was qualified to kill them, he didn't know.
But if he doesn't do these things, not only will his life be in danger, but more importantly, it will also implicate Zhou Ying who is far away in the Beishan Mine.
Yunyan decided to give it a try because he couldn't just become a victim of this conspiracy.
So, Yun Yan looked at Jiao Chengfeng calmly and asked.
"Can I see them now?"
"Can."
Immediately, Jiao Chengfeng was seen slowly turning sideways, while the two weapon refiners behind him turned their backs at the same time and walked straight out of the door.
"Come with us!"
Yun Yan said to Jiao Chengfeng before leaving.
"You wouldn't really give one million gold to the jackal, would you?"
Jiao Chengfeng nodded slightly and smiled.
"Thank you for the reminder, but I have money, so this million can be considered my sincerity."
Seeing that he insisted on doing this, Yun Yan had no choice but to shake her head.
"That's up to you."
After saying that, he followed the two weapon refiners and left here.
Jiao Chengfeng asked inexplicably as he looked at Yun Yan's back disappearing into the darkness.
"With his character, how can we go back and explain to the special envoy?"
At this time, a disciple next to Jiao Chengfeng immediately replied.
"We just said that he escaped on the way to withdraw the money."
Another disciple retorted.
"If he has escaped, where did we get the gold?"
"Then we can say that he escaped only after getting the money."
"If he had the ability to escape, why did he take us to get the money?"
"this......"
When the former disciple heard this, he immediately didn't know how to answer, but Jiao Chengfeng laughed.
"I guess the inspector doesn't care about the real reason at all, because he only cares about whether the one million yuan will eventually fall into his hands."
Upon hearing this, the two disciples responded in unison.
"The lord is wise."
...
Two days later.
Yun Yan followed the two weapon refiners to the door of a remote underground palace.
Since he was unfamiliar with the place, Yunyan was not sure whether it was still within the territory of the Holy Fire.
He originally thought that since these two people chose to lead the way on foot, this underground palace must be not far from the outer gate of the Holy Fire Sect, but who knew that their journey would take two days.
Yun Yan, who was standing in front of the underground palace gate, asked as he looked at the tall and majestic stone gate in front of him.
"This is your hiding place?"
The two looked back at Yun Yan, and it was obvious that they were both a little unhappy.
Yun Yan explained awkwardly when she saw this.
"In the Night Continent, we still need to build a castle underground. I think it should be no problem."
The two looked at each other without saying anything, perhaps in acquiescence.
Afterwards, the two of them walked to both sides of the stone door, took out a delicate crystal key from their bodies, and inserted it into the corresponding holes on the stone door.
Suddenly, with a dull roar, the huge stone door of the underground palace was split in two from the middle and slowly opened to both sides.
Yun Yan followed the two of them into the underground palace along the very regular raised stone path at their feet. When they advanced about a hundred feet, Yun Yan noticed that light gradually appeared in front of them.
So, he couldn't help but ask.
"How far is it?"
Just listen to one of the people in front of him reply indifferently.
"Coming."
After saying that, they took Yun Yan into a fork on the right. At the same time, Yun Yan discovered that at the end of this fork, there was a room with bright light. This must be their destination.
After entering the room, Yunyan immediately noticed the lumen stones placed on the surrounding wooden shelves.
However, the light emitted by these lumen stones is very limited, and the light that illuminates the entire room comes from the huge luminous pearl on the roof.
It can be seen that this luminous pearl is the same as the ones in the hall of Tian Meng's house. It needs to be lit during the day before it can shine at night.
Then, Yun Yan looked around. The house was more than ten feet in diameter and looked nothing like an underground cave.
In addition to these lumen stones in the room, there are also some mineral veins unique to the heaven, but this mineral vein seems to be produced from the floating island in the sky near Dome Mountain.
Therefore, the purity and texture of the mineral veins are much worse, but Yunyan is very clear that this special mineral vein is one of the materials for casting Yuan Jin.
At the same time, he also discovered that there were some discarded gold residues piled in the corner of the room due to failed refining.
It seemed that this was where they made private treasures and gold, but Yun Yan didn't quite understand why they brought her here in the first place.
However, just when he was about to ask, he heard a man's voice coming from the next door to the room.
"You two go down first."
The two weapon refiners answered at the same time after hearing this.
"yes."
Then, they left the room along the passage they came from.
Yun Yan slowly came to the center of the room, and then he discovered that there was a door leading to the next room next to the wooden frame where the lumen stone was stored.
At this moment, the man's voice sounded again.
"Please come in."
Yun Yan didn't hesitate anymore, he walked through the door and went to the next room.
The space in this house is the same size as the house outside, but there is a huge furnace in the middle of the house, about two feet high.
Standing next to the furnace was an old man with white hair and beard. He was holding a brand new lumen stone and stared at the embryo of a magic weapon that was constantly circling in the flames in the hole of the furnace.
When the appearance of the embryo gradually took shape, the old man quickly threw the lumen stone in his hand into the furnace.
I saw the brand new lume stone instantly turned into a wisp of mineral essence in the hot flames. Then, the old man raised his arm and released a soft soul power to guide the mineral essence towards the magical artifact. near.
In the end, under the old man's skilled control, the ray of mineral essence was smoothly integrated into the magical weapon.
Upon seeing this, the old man immediately picked up the prepared inscription on the table next to him, simulated the shape with his soul power, and sent it into the furnace.
The magic weapon forged in the furnace fire, after being imprinted and blessed by this set of inscriptions, condensed into shape in an instant, and slowly floated out of the furnace hole.
After the old man stretched out his hand to form a cooling seal, he successfully took the magic weapon into his hand. It turned out that it was a low-level storage treasure.
Through the old man's refining technique, Yun Yan learned that the old man was a junior treasure master, and his cultivation had reached the seventh level of the stars.
But what Yun Yan didn't understand was why he allowed others to disturb him at the critical moment when he was refining the magic weapon.
It should be noted that although refining a magic weapon is not as critical as practicing in seclusion, once the refining process is interfered with by the outside world and the weapon refiner cannot concentrate on shaping the magic weapon, the refining will most likely fail.
Yunyan himself is also an weapon refiner, so he naturally understands the pros and cons of this.
After the old man finished refining the weapon, he turned around and came to Yun Yan, and handed the storage jade pot in his hand to Yun Yan to show him.
Yun Yan did not refuse. After taking the jade pot, he looked at it carefully and then smiled slightly.
"Senior's weapon refining skills are very clever, and the storage space in your jade pot is much larger than ordinary lower-level treasures. It seems that senior has reached the point of full utilization of lumen stone."
"Oh? Do you know the special function of Lumen Stone for storing magic weapons?"
Yun Yan saw that the old man didn't seem to believe that he had such knowledge, so he added.
“The effect of Lumen Stone on storage instruments will vary from person to person, but many intermediate treasure masters may not be very clear about this simple truth.
Moreover, it is forbidden to use soul power to accelerate the refining of mineral vein crystals, otherwise, the essence of the mineral vein will definitely contain the spirit power of the weapon refiner.
In this way, unless the magic weapon he made is used by himself, if he sells it to others, the original attributes of the magic weapon will be greatly lost due to the conflict between the buyer's soul power and the weapon refiner. "
Hearing this, the old man seemed to be thinking. The reason why Yun Yan talked about this was because he also encountered these problems in the process of refining the magic weapon.
However, Yun Yan has not yet completely figured out the solutions to these problems, and can only speculate based on his own understanding of the art of weapon refining.
But after hearing what Yun Yan said, the old man immediately felt enlightened.
"I have been refining weapons for decades and have encountered the problems you mentioned. However, because of my belief in the art of weapon refining, I have never had the courage to doubt the seniors in the weapon refining world."
Yun Yan said with a smile upon hearing this.
"The ways of cultivation are ever-changing, and different categories also have different characteristics. If everyone follows the rules on the journey of cultivation, then we will never be able to surpass our predecessors."
"Beyond seniors?"
The old man looked at Yun Yan with interest and continued.
"If you can't even understand the most basic practice experience of your predecessors, how can you innovate? Besides, it's probably not that easy to innovate the truth that it took your predecessors thousands of years to verify."
Yun Yan thought for a while and then continued.
"Of course I don't agree with denying the existing way of cultivation before coming into contact with higher-level cultivation laws.
However, the most taboo thing in cultivation is to stick to the rules. Once such a cultivation concept is formed, it will not be so easy to change it.
Therefore, I never think that there is a perfect way of cultivation in this world, but no matter what kind of cultivation method, it is not necessarily useless. "
When the old man heard what Yun Yan said, he burst out laughing.
"I have lived for more than two hundred years, and this is the first time I have heard such strange talk. No wonder Sect Master Jiao allows you to come here. It seems that you are indeed different."
Yun Yan only reacted at this moment and saw him asking with a speechless expression.
"who are you?"
