Zhan Hui was quite surprised, "It's a small competition, why is it so big?"
"The people from the Shenglong Sect are here. Be careful and don't compete with Miao Ge." Xue Tong warned through a message.
There were more than ten people in the group, and the leader was about fifty years old. They were shouting from left to right and looked arrogant.
Cai Zhaoting, the steward of the outer sect of Shenglong Sect, glanced at Xue Tong coldly. Sitting in the Assassin Hall, he seemed to regard Zhan Mansion as his own.
Zhan Hui greeted him with a smile, "I don't know that Manager Cai is coming here, but I am not welcome from afar."
The Shenglong Sect was at its peak, and Zhan Hui couldn't afford to offend him. When he saw Cai Zhaoting's bad expression, he knew that there would be a lot of trouble today.
"I heard that you and Miao You were having trouble, what's going on?" Cai Zhaoting asked, pretending to be pretentious.
Zhan Huifang said a few words, but Cai Zhaoting interrupted: "If you want to compete, I won't stop you. Just follow the rules of the Xuan Realm."
When things came to pass, the situation was completely different from what he expected, and with Xue Tong's reminder, Zhan Hui couldn't help but hesitate.
He looked at Xue Tong hesitantly.
"Who is this?" Cai Zhaoting asked sideways.
"Oh, Xu Jingcheng's weapon master Yang Shijie was invited by Zhan to be a witness." Zhan Hui replied.
"I've met Guanshi Cai," Xue Tong stood up and cupped his hands.
"Mysterious weapons have been open for two years. I have always wanted to take a look. The weapon master is here today. Let's talk about business after the competition."
"You can start!" Cai Zhaoting urged.
"I don't think there's any need to compete. From now on, fellow Taoist Zhan, please restrain your servants and don't provoke fellow Taoist Miao again," Xue Tong dissuaded.
He roughly guessed Cai Zhaoting's intention, deliberately caused trouble to anger Zhan Fei, and then dealt with it.
The outer door steward specializes in co-opting and ostracizing. They will co-opt those who can be co-opted, exclude those who cannot, and even resort to underhanded tactics to kill casual cultivators in the local area.
Zhan Hui kept a distance from the Shenglong Sect, and Cai Zhaoting tried to win over him several times but failed, so he became murderous.
Miao Ge's face was very wretched, and he chuckled: "It's still Taoist Yang who understands the truth, but Zhan Wei's shouting everywhere has damaged Miao's reputation. Even if it doesn't matter, he still needs to put up a notice to explain that his subordinates are rude, so that he can take the matter seriously. !”
Miao Ge was pushing the envelope, and his intentions were self-evident. Zhan Gai couldn't bear it, so it was best to jump.
Zhan Fei has a stubborn character and never gives in, especially when faced with humiliating oppression.
"Guanshi Cai and Daochang Xue are saving face. Zhan doesn't care and just settle it, but it's absolutely impossible to put up a notice and plead guilty."
"Miao Ge, you don't know how capable you are? It's almost enough. Don't bully others too much!" Zhan Hui said angrily.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't come out on and off the court?" Miao Ge sneered, stimulating Zhan Hui.
Zhan Hui flew out of the living room!
He stood in the middle of the yard, drew his knife and shouted: "Come on!"
He knew the ins and outs of Miao Geng, so even if his magical weapon was slightly inferior, there was no need to be afraid.
Xue Tong took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "If you really want to compete, don't be impatient. I agreed to lend you a few magic weapons, and then we compete again."
As he spoke, he pushed the Five Dragon Shield and the Bloody Spear to Zhan Hui.
As a weapon master, it was normal for Xue Tong to carry several magic weapons, so it was not unthinkable to lend two to Zhan Hui.
Zhan Hui has acquired two new treasures, like a tiger with added wings, his chances of winning will increase immediately.
Zhan Hui's face turned red and he was so excited that he was speechless for a moment.
Cai Zhaoting had a complicated expression. He stood in front of the hall and looked at Xue Zhan and the two in the yard, thinking.
"Oh?" Miao Ge frowned.
Cai Zhaoting guaranteed that he had just borrowed three magical artifacts. The treasures were difficult to borrow because they were all the thorns in the heart of the innate treasure holder. The borrower was worried and even followed them to the Zhan Mansion.
Xue Tong disrupted the situation and suffered a huge blow to his confidence.
"Fellow Daoist Xue is right. The matter is not big and there is no need to make such a fuss. Why don't we each take a step back and not care about each other." Cai Zhaoting waved his hand and said.
He knew that Miao was very weak and the outcome of the fight became unpredictable, so it was better to give up.
"Master Cai understands everything clearly, and there is indeed no need for a vicious fight!" Xue Tong advised.
Both sides stepped down.
Miao Ge returned the magical weapon, Cai Zhaoting retreated, and there were only four people left in the living room.
"Fellow Taoist Yang helped Zhan Fei vigorously, which was a bit unexpected. Taoist friend is very good at refining weapons. I have heard about it for a long time. I have wanted to visit you several times and ask if you are willing to work for Shenglong Sect." Cai Zhaoting said with a condescending expression asked.
His cultivation level is great, and he is "one level" lower than Xue Tong, but in Xu Jing, he represents the Shenglong Sect, so there is no need to be humble and polite.
"Everyone here is a guest. Shenglong wants to refine weapons. Yang should do his best. If Yang is useful, just ask him."
Xue Tong accepted Cai Zhaoting's invitation.
Although Zhan Hui had a tough mouth, he was as clear as a mirror in his heart. Xue Tong helped him out, and he got out of the dilemma that was a thorn in Cai Zhaoting's side and became Xue Tong's follower.
Xue Tong sent Zhan Hui on an important matter, "Yang is refining the artifacts. The quality of the quenching water has an impact on the quality of the artifacts. You can search everywhere and I will find the water quality is what I like!"
Xue Tong handed the excerpted chapter on the secret technique of water quenching of the Su Xin Sect to Zhan Hui, and said: "The stronger the magnetism, the better. See the common techniques for finding water sources. Put the sample in a water bag, mark it and bring it back. If you find good water, I will give you a magic weapon-grade broadsword for free!"
"Oh, are Taoist Yang serious?" Zhan Hui's eyes lit up.
"Well, there are two million in travel expenses in the storage bracelet. Leave early and come back early, within three years. If there is no good water, Yang will not let you go in vain."
Xue Tong's secret technique of water quenching, which he had worked so hard to acquire, had never been refined with time and water, and now it was just in time to put Pai Zhanhui to use.
Xue Tong knew very well that the more he valued and trusted Zhan Hui, the more devoted and loyal Zhan Hui would be.
…
Cai Zhaoting successively asked Xue Tong to refine several magical weapons.
Xue Tong accepted the job, but the alchemy was already at a discount, and after Cai Zhaoting took extra advantage, he finally got only half of the normal amount.
Xue Tong complained a few words and then said: "I don't make enough money. Manager Cai can help me organize things and collect some refining soil."
Xuan Weapon Shop put up a sign for collecting refining soil, but so far he had not received a barrel, so Xue Tong came up with the idea of using the Shenglong Sect.
"That's easy to say. I'll ask more questions for you."
It was not difficult to talk, and Cai Zhaoting agreed on the spot.
More than a month later, Cai Zhaoting sent people to refine materials and soil!
"Master Supervisor's refining materials, Master Yang will try them out to see what quality of magic weapon can be produced."
The Outer Supervisor Gao Cai Zhao Ting is at the first level and is usually held by a monk in the middle or later stages of the Grand Master.
…
Xue Tong compared the fire-tempered scriptures and found out that what the governor sent was the second-grade "Technetium Xian soil".
It is easier to use the quenching technique when refining a weapon than to quench it after it is completed.
When the refined materials are fused and solidified, the quenched earth is burned, releasing rare metal particles and incorporated into the melted refined materials to improve the quality.
Xue Tong spent three months refining the best magic weapon-level spiritual materials into a "fake treasure"!
"The Taoist Master is extremely skilled in refining weapons. There are very few weapon masters of this level in Xilian. The Governor invites you!"
Cai Zhaoting personally came to take Xue Tong to the governor Qi Lun's house.
After riding the camel for two days, we entered a mountain villa.
In the middle period, Grandmaster Qi Lun absent-mindedly said a few polite words and then turned to the main topic: "I have gathered together a set of magic weapons to refine materials. You can forge swords according to the diagram. There will be many rewards for making earth-level magic weapons. Ordinary magic weapons will be exempted from punishment. If you refine them, they will be useless." Double compensation."
"The old thief has harsh conditions and is obviously bullying others. Let's see what tricks you can pull off!" Xue Tong thought to himself.
"I am determined to work hard to refine the treasure and live up to your great trust!"
"But the amount of refining soil is insufficient. Five barrels are still needed." Xue Tong said.
He intentionally doubled the amount.
"There are refining materials and seven barrels of refining soil in the bag. You can do your best and refining the weapons in the side courtyard. Come back after you have finished refining!" Qi Lun was already prepared. He threw a storage bag over and ordered.
"The cauldron is being refined in Xu Jing, and it will eventually go back to the Qi Pu for refining. It can't be left alone for a long time."
Xue Tong was in a bad mood and managed to keep a smile.
"I will send someone to accompany you to get the tripod. Let's go now." Qi Lun's tone left no room for doubt.
Xue Tong was almost escorted back to Xu Jing.
Villa's side courtyard.
The conditions in the weapon refining room were excellent. Xue Tong felt slightly strange that the magic weapon refining materials were not particularly rare. Qi Lun could have allowed him to refine the weapons in Xu Jing, so there was no need to be under house arrest in the villa.
It is not difficult to make a sword, and the Technetium Xian soil is good enough.
It's just that it takes two years to refine the Earth Treasure, so it won't be enough for a while.
Xue Tongnai took the trouble to refine his sword.
Qi Lun never disturbed, and the sentry outside the courtyard wall was never evacuated.
…
one year later.
Xue Tong was pacing in the courtyard.
Ding Huo pays attention to him every ten days, so he doesn't need to keep an eye on him all the time. Xue Tong will pace around the courtyard and take a rest during his breaks in practicing.
The gate of the side courtyard was tightened, and the sounds of monks walking in and out could be heard from the narrow alleys and adjacent courtyards.
Xue Tong's mind moved and he paid attention to the movement in the villa.
His cultivation level is "innate", and his spiritual consciousness and hearing are those of a heavenly being.
After a small listening session, no abnormalities were found.
"Xue is near the water, why not check on Qi Lun?"
Xue Tong was quietly discharged from the hospital that night and quickly figured out the general situation.
There were more than thirty people in the villa, and none of them loved his concubine. They were well-behaved and very calm.
From then on, Xue Tong would eavesdrop outside the courtyard where the guards lived every few days.
Whispers were heard months later.
"The person named Yang is almost done refining the weapon. Sir, you are so patient. You don't care whether the person named Yang can do it or not."
"It should work. I heard that the master is going to use the earth treasure as a gift. If you can't refine it, you can kill him. If you can refine it, you can continue to be under house arrest."
"Hehe, the one named Yang is miserable. He is probably still dreaming and waiting to receive the reward."
"If you say less, you will be in trouble if adults find out what you are talking about behind your back!"
Xue Tong sneered secretly, "If I hadn't wanted to get more tempered soil, you would have died long ago when Zhan Hui came back."
…
Xue Tong felt confident and accelerated the refining of the weapon, completing it two months ahead of schedule.
The moment Qi Lun took over the earth-level sword, he smiled brightly and said happily: "My Taoist friend is very skilled. I will reward you with these eight million spiritual stones. I still need to refine a few magic weapons. My Taoist friend will stay for three more years." Five years.”
"It's okay to stay a few more years, but it won't be enough to refine the soil," Xue Tong said.
"There is Liantu, I have collected ten barrels!"
Qi Lun raised the storage bracelet.
"Okay, wait until Yang goes to close the utensil shop."
"The utensil shop has been closed for a year!"
Qi Lun wrote lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Oh, your Excellency has already made a plan, so you don't have to worry about Yang." Xue Tong was furious, but remained calm on the surface.
Qi Lun played with him in the palm of his hand, it was too domineering.
…
Qi Lun sent another set of refining materials.
Xue Tong calculated on time and the agreement with Zhan Hui expired.
As night fell, just as he stood up and was about to return to Xu Jing, he suddenly felt something strange.
"Someone!"
"The cultivation level is not comparable to that of Qi Lun!"
A dark shadow a hundred feet away approached quickly, jumped over the guard post quickly, and jumped into the yard.
Grandmaster is accomplished!
The man in black lifted the innate-level restriction alert and pushed open the stone door of the weapon refining room.
