"follow me."
Huang Shuyuan handed out the money and waved.
Following her, Lu Zhong came to a wooden room.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please find a place to sit down first. I'll go to the water room to get some hot water." Huang Shuyuan was holding a kettle, looking a little embarrassed.
It is unreasonable to have guests at home but not have hot tea to serve them.
"It's okay." Lu Zhong smiled.
After Huang Shuyuan opened the door and went out, he looked at the wooden house.
The layout of this room is similar to the small shabby house he lived in at the beginning of Qingliufang. It also has one bedroom and one living room. The only difference is that there is an extra kitchen that can be turned around.
Judging from the luggage packages in the corner, Huang Shuyuan should have moved here not long ago.
Looking around, Lu Zhong found a chair and sat down carefully.
After a while, Huang Shuyuan walked in from the front carrying a pot of hot water.
"Gudongdong..."
Soon, a pot of hot tea was brewed.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't serve Fellow Daoist Lu with spiritual tea. Please just drink it." Huang Shuyuan looked apologetic, and the expression on her face didn't seem to be fake, but seemed to be sincere.
Based on Lu Zhong's understanding of her, I am afraid that Huang Shuyuan really thinks this way at this time.
After taking a sip of tea, Lu Zhong took the initiative to speak:
"Just now, Fellow Daoist Huang seemed to be wondering why I had a conflict with Mo Laosan. Is there... something wrong with this?"
"It's not just wrong, it's simply wrong!"
Huang Shuyuan put down the teacup in her hand and said slowly: "I suspect you are being targeted by someone!"
"As far as I know, Mo Laosan is very cautious in his daily behavior and will not easily do anything to offend others. It is impossible for him to take the initiative to make grudges against fellow Taoist Lu just because his brother had his hand cut off."
"That's why I think Fellow Daoist Lu is being targeted."
After hearing this, Lu Zhong fell into deep thought.
I pinched it secretly to detect malicious intent.
Strange, there was no reaction at all.
"This result may not be true. After all, there are many ways to avoid this technique." Based on what Huang Shuyuan just said, he did not hesitate to think the worst, and he was more inclined to think that there was something wrong with Mo Laosan.
Ouch, headache!
Why did something happen again?
After thinking about it, Lu Zhong didn't expect how he could be targeted.
Is it because he is a talisman maker who can afford to wear magic robes and live in a small four-ring courtyard with a magic circle? Or is it because he was approached by the power behind Qianmianlang because of his previous killing of Qianmianlang? Is it related to the fact that I got a ghost rat?
No matter which one of these three reasons it is, it is very possible.
"No matter what, you have to be more careful in the future!"
Lu Zhong thought of this, looked at Huang Shuyuan opposite, and took out a whole pack of talisman paper from the storage bag.
"Thank you, Taoist friend, for bringing someone to help me just now, and also for reminding me that I might be targeted. There aren't many talismans here, so I just wanted to express my feelings. I hope you don't dislike them."
A whole pack of talisman papers, a total of one thousand.
The reason why he didn't give more was because he knew that although Huang Shuyuan was a female cultivator, she was actually very strong inside. If he gave more, he would probably make her unhappy.
"No, you don't need so many." Huang Shuyuan waved her hand and pushed the talisman back.
But after pushing it back, she suddenly felt a little regretful.
Such a large pack of talisman papers is worth ten spiritual stones, which is like a timely rain for her who is now in a state of poverty.
Seeing the tangled expression that the other party showed unintentionally, Lu Zhong pushed the talisman paper back again.
"Young Daoist Huang, you'd better take it. It's said that debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay. Now Lv Mou has paid it off."
"Hey, okay... okay."
Huang Shuyuan smiled bitterly and accepted the package of talismans.
…
Coming out of Huang Shuyuan's house, Lu Zhong used Zhanwang Qi Technique.
After glancing around to make sure no one was lurking nearby, he walked towards the target.
After walking a few streets, I began to hear the sound of hammering one after another.
At this time, we could already see a dock-like building in the distance, with towering chimneys protruding from the four corners, constantly spewing thick smoke outwards.
The closer we get, the stronger the smell of charcoal fire is in the air.
After walking through a huge stockyard, Lu Zhong arrived at his destination.
Huangyi Weapon Refining Workshop is one of the three refining workshops in Yanlingshanfang City.
It is said that the owner of the workshop is a foundation-building monk with ten experienced weapon refiners under his command, who can stably produce multiple magic weapons every month.
Upon entering, perhaps because of the cassock on his body, he was immediately greeted by Zhike, who was wearing a green dress and had a good face and figure, smiling.
"This fellow Taoist, why are you here?"
"I would like to entrust you to refine a material into a magic weapon."
"If you entrust me to refine the magic weapon, there will be many details that need to be finalized by you personally..." Zhike spoke at this time, making people feel like a spring breeze. He kept smiling and said: "It's very dusty and noisy outside. It's not a talk. It’s a good place to do things. Fellow Taoist, why don’t you come with me to the tea room inside and have a cup of tea and talk in detail?”
When Lu Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that people really depend on their clothes, and the treatment they received was suddenly different.
He followed the other party to a tea room, and soon he was handed seasonal fruit and vegetable preserves, along with a pot of hot tea.
After taking a sip, I found that it was brewed with Lingcha leaves.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was better to have money!
The cordial greetings ended.
At this time, Zhike said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of materials you have prepared. Do you want to entrust our workshop to refine it into a magic weapon?"
"This is it." Lu Zhong put the piece of black crystal iron on the table.
"Is it...could it be Mo Jingtie?" Zhike was a little unsure, but his look at Lu Zhong was even more different.
This is a rare material that can be used to refine an extremely hard black crystal shield.
Black crystal shields that are successfully refined are usually medium-grade magic weapons.
"Sorry, I'm not sure about the identity of this piece of material. Please wait here for a while. I'll call the appraiser over right away."
After saying that, Zhike bowed slightly and left in a hurry.
After a while, another burst of hurried footsteps came.
This time Zhike led an old man with pale hair and wrinkles on his face in.
"Yes, it is indeed the black crystal iron used to refine the black crystal shield." The old man quickly gave his identification results, looked at Lu Zhong on the tea seat, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "This fellow Taoist wants to refine Black crystal shield?"
"...Yes." Lu Zhong thought for a moment before responding.
"In this case, I would like to ask fellow Taoists to take a look at these three drawings of the Black Crystal Shield."
As the old man spoke, he took out a small brass tube from his storage bag and poured out three old and new blueprints. "Different blueprints have different refining difficulties, and the auxiliary materials added are also different, so the refining of the magic weapon is The specific cost can only be calculated after fellow Taoists confirm the drawings."
Lu Zhong took the drawing and looked at it carefully and seriously.
The three drawings have different focuses. There is a black turtle black crystal shield that focuses on defense. It has two magical powers that are biased toward defense. They are the "steel shield" magical power that black crystal iron comes with, which can make the shield more powerful. It is strong and not easily destroyed, and the auxiliary material black turtle shell is added, and the "water pattern cover" magical power obtained can condense the water pattern cover when activated.
The water pattern shield is Xuangui's innate spell and is notoriously difficult to break.
The two magical powers combined make the Black Turtle Black Crystal Shield's defense frighteningly high.
The second drawing is the Black Crystal Shield. In addition to the steel shield magical power brought by the Black Crystal Iron, there is another magical power that plays a supporting role, called the "Giant Power" magical power, which can make the person holding the shield stronger. .
The extremely strong black crystal shield coupled with the huge magical power is definitely a nightmare for those agile monks. If they are hit by the shield as big as a door panel in the face, their bones will be broken.
As for the third drawing.
Lu Zhong just glanced at it and immediately lost interest when he saw that there was a magical power on it that was biased towards attacking.
