Three years later.
On Wanren Mountain in Zhongzhou, a thin light falls like the morning sun on the top of the south peak.
There was a slight ripple in the Zhuxian formation, and a figure had been vaguely pieced together on the sunset cliff. It was the Sword Master Liangchen who had traveled back from the West Sea all the way.
After leaving Basket Temple, he went to several islands in the West Sea, hoping to find several weapon refining materials on the Xuanbao Map.
But he didn't want to go to several islands in succession and get nothing, so he had to return to Zhongzhou to make long-term plans.
"It seems that even if you hold the treasure map and want to refine the mysterious treasure, you will not be able to succeed overnight!" Liangchen shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seems that he left the Basket Temple in a hurry, so he might as well settle down and practice a few other magical powers. It can also increase the power of the Hunyuan Golden Bell.
He thought about it, grabbed it with one hand, and the mysterious treasure secret scroll spread out immediately.
"Dragon Blood Crystal, Millennium Spiritual Milk, Starry Black Gold, Ice Heart Snow Jade, Metallic Ultimate Spiritual Essence, Ninth Level Demon King Soul Pill!"
The formula did not require many materials, but only a few, but each of them was extremely rare. There were also several materials whose names he had heard for the first time.
For example, he had never heard of three materials: dragon blood crystal, starry black gold, and snow jade ice heart.
In the past two years, I have been asking around in Xihai and only got some rumors about Dragon Blood Crystal.
It is said that this dragon blood crystal is a unique crystal coral that was immersed in the sea after the death of the dragon, and then baptized by the aura of the sea for hundreds of years.
I heard that it only appeared a few times at the big auctions on the West Sea.
If you want to receive this treasure, you have to stay on several big islands for decades, otherwise it is almost impossible to buy it!
After Liangchen learned the news, he immediately stopped thinking and went home directly.
However, although the trip to the West Sea did not receive a few desired materials, it did receive more than 2,000 Star Sea Stones, so it was not considered empty-handed.
After withdrawing his thoughts, he touched the jade medal on his waist, and immediately there was the sound of rustling leaves climbing the mountain from the foot of the mountain.
Han Meier and Xiao Shitou, who were practicing in the mountains, both had happy expressions on their faces and jumped towards the cliff.
In just a moment, the two figures had appeared in front of Liangchen.
"Master is finally back!" Seeing Liangchen, the two of them smiled happily and saluted in unison.
Han Mei'er walked to the pavilion and skillfully boiled water and scalded a cup, and began to boil the spring and make tea for the master.
"Master, the senior brother is still in retreat in the Sword Cave. He should be there soon." Han Meier continued while busy:
"Eight years after the master passed away, the disciples missed him very much."
"But the truth?" Liangchen saw that her face was full of joy, and when she was busy, she did not forget to secretly glance at the little stone, and immediately shook her head in disbelief.
"Truth! Everything is true! Mei'er has been looking forward to the master's early return. The birds were singing in the forest this morning, so I guessed there was something happy. Sure enough, you are back." Mei'er nodded repeatedly like a woodpecker.
"I can't believe what you say, let me ask Xiao Shitou." Liangchen smiled even more when he heard this, and then looked at Xiao Shitou:
"Are your senior sister's words true?"
"Master Qi, it's true." When Xiao Shitou heard the master's question, he immediately straightened his face and answered carefully. After speaking, he seemed to have remembered something, and then said, "It's just that the birds in the mountains keep chirping every day."
"You~! Master asked you if you are telling the truth, so don't talk too much!" Meier's face suddenly turned red and she glared at Xiao Shitou.
"Haha!!" After hearing this answer, Liangchen burst into laughter.
"You, you! When I become a teacher, I will check your homework carefully. If you are lazy, I will punish you by memorizing the Form Breaking Technique a hundred times!"
"Master—" Upon hearing this, Meier immediately placed the copper kettle filled with spring water on the stove, then walked to Liangchen's side with a flattering expression, and beat his shoulders with her hands.
"Master, when you were away, my junior brother and I supervised each other and never failed in our daily homework, right?" Meier said and gave Xiao Shitou a wink.
"Yes." Xiao Shitou nodded quickly.
"You two also call each other supervising each other?" Liangchen was about to reprimand, but when he saw the sweet look of the two of them, most of his anger disappeared. He was too lazy to continue to pursue it, and instead laughed softly.
"Haha~"
"Thousand-branch velvet ears." Seeing the spring water boiling and a burst of mist rising, Liangchen slowly said the name of the spiritual tea.
Mei'er immediately stopped beating her back, stepped forward to select tea, brewed it, and then respectfully put the teacup in front of the master.
"Master, please~"
After saying that, he continued to slap his shoulders, but Liangchen waved his hand.
Upon seeing this, Meier stepped back and stood side by side with Xiao Shitou.
Liangchen picked up the tea bowl, sniffed it gently, blew it slowly, and took a leisurely sip.
"The spring water at Nanfeng still has a unique aroma."
"Haha~!" As he spoke, a hearty laughter was heard coming from a distance.
"Junior brother is the one who knows how to enjoy things best!"
Accompanied by laughter, the figure of Qianqiu Sect Master appeared on the cliff.
There was another person following closely behind him, but it was Shopkeeper Ma from the Ludao Club.
"Meet Master!" Mei'er and Xiao Shitou saluted in unison.
"No courtesy." Qianqiu Sect Leader waved his hand and sat down next to Liangchen.
"Junior, meet the Sword Master!" Shopkeeper Ma also stood with his hands tied like two apprentices and bowed respectfully.
"You're welcome, come and sit." Liangchen greeted, seeing his hesitation, he waved his hand again.
Mei'er had already stepped forward, ironed a tea bowl for his uncle and shopkeeper Ma, and then brewed some spiritual tea.
"Junior brother is finally out of seclusion. You have been in seclusion for ten or eight years, and you are not afraid of exhausting me to death!" Because he had always announced that the sword master was in seclusion, and because shopkeeper Arima was here, Qianqiu Sect Leader said this.
"Senior brother, I'm busy. Let's try this tea." Liangchen replied with a smile.
"By the way, junior brother asked me to invite shopkeeper Ma to come over. What's the matter?" Qianqiu Sect Master received a summons from his junior brother a few days ago, asking him to find the big shopkeeper of Ludao Club. It seems that he has something to do.
"Senior brother, I have been refining a magic weapon recently. I have never heard of some of the ingredients, so I would like to ask senior brother and shopkeeper Ma to help solve my doubts."
"What material?" Qianqiu asked.
"Dragon Blood Crystal, Starry Black Gold, Ice Heart Snow Jade, have you ever heard of them?" Liangchen said slowly.
Every time Liangchen said a name, Qianqiu Sect Master's face was stunned. It wasn't until he finished the third one that he nodded slightly.
"I have only heard of Bingxinxueyu. My master told me about this treasure back then."
"Speak quickly." Liangchen immediately put down the tea bowl and urged.
"This treasure is a kind of top-quality spiritual jade produced in the jade veins of the snow-capped mountains. It is as thin as jade and is extremely cold. It can calm the soul and concentrate the mind. It is also an excellent material for refining ice attribute magic weapons.
However, this snow jade is extremely rare. I once heard a master say that jade diggers in the Tiandu Mountains hundreds of years ago dug out a piece. She was accepted by the Ice Soul Fairy of Qingxue Pavilion and refined into her natal magic weapon, the Xuan Bing Tian Talisman. " Qianqiu Sect Master said.
"Has there been a piece of Zhongzhou in hundreds of years?" Liangchen was startled when he heard this.
"I don't know about this, but I only heard Master say it once." Qianqiu Sect Master replied.
"Ah!" Liangchen suddenly felt dizzy upon hearing this.
The materials on this are actually more troublesome than the last!
"Reporting to the Sword Master, I was lucky enough to sell a piece of Bing Xinxue Jade." Shopkeeper Ma took the words carefully.
"Oh! Have you ever sold this treasure? Why haven't you heard of it?" Qianqiu Sect Master looked surprised.
"For the record, Sect Master, once such rare treasures appear in the world, the buyer is usually contacted privately and traded directly, so there is no way to go to the auction stage."
"The treasures that can be put up for auction are usually the ones that have not negotiated the price in private, or are deliberately released to promote the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce." Shopkeeper Ma said.
"Tell me about it." Liangchen asked.
"The piece of snow jade that passed through my hands was also obtained from the Tiandu Mountains, more than a hundred years ago. The treasure digger at that time did not understand the price, and the purchasers we arranged around the jade veins had never seen anything like this. Treasure, but with keen vision and courage, it was acquired for millions.
Finally, it was sent to the Chamber of Commerce. After several days and nights of hard work, we and several shopkeepers determined that it was Bing Xinxue Jade, and then contacted a powerful buyer to quickly sell it. "Shopkeeper Ma was in high spirits, as if he was saying something very proud.
Upon hearing this, Qianqiu Sect Leader immediately became interested and asked:
"How much did you sell?"
