Ye Jin would never have thought of it.
When he saw Ming Po again, five years had passed since the first meeting.
Five years later, the old woman was still shrouded in a black robe, and her whole body exuded an unchanging and dead air.
He was setting up a stall in Tianyuanfang City as always. If he hadn't seen him for five years, it would have been as if he had never left.
After witnessing the power of the two pill-forming ancestors, Ancestor Youyang and Demon King Yunzhong, when Ye Jin looked at Ming Po again, he found that he still couldn't see through it.
Of course, this time he learned the lesson and did not recklessly activate the Qi-gazing technique to explore randomly.
As for whether Mingpo is a pill or a Zifu, Ye Jin said that he doesn't know.
In short, he is not an ordinary Zifu real person.
"You, this young man, have changed so much after I haven't seen you for just a few days. I'm really afraid of you."
How many days? Only a few years!
For a strong person like Ming Po, five years might really be no different than five days.
Ye Jin was sizing up Ming Po, and Ming Po wasn't sizing up Ye Jin.
For some reason, Ming Po's eyes were obviously cloudy, but Ye Jin only felt that the eyes looking at him were like piercing eyes, looking through him from top to bottom. From Ming Po's words, Ye Jin seemed to hear some meaning.
You know, compared to the first time he met Ming Po five years ago, when he was just a mortal blood mandrill, five years later, his strength reached the middle stage of enlightenment, and his bloodline evolved to the top level of the earth demon [ Akajiri Fire Ape].
It was clear that the art of change had been being used, but Ye Jin felt as if he had been seen through.
Ming Po didn't look at it for too long. She just glanced twice and then looked away. She closed her eyes and rested her mind. It seemed that compared to five years ago and at the end of five years, Ming Po's energy seemed to be more easily exhausted.
Although he was a little curious about where Ming Po had been in the past five years, Ye Jin wisely did not ask. Instead, he smiled shyly, took out something from his storage bag and handed it to Ming Po. , said in a respectful tone:
"Senior has given me too much praise. This is a little thought prepared by me for my senior. Some things are disrespectful."
Presented in the palm of Ye Jin's hand was a plate of palm-sized incense, dark red in color and exuding a faint scent of candle.
This thing is called [Ningshen Incense], a third-level treasure. If burned for a long time, it can heal the soul and even enhance the soul. This Ningshen Incense was purchased by Ye Jin from the Treasure Pavilion in the past five years.
Ming Po opened her eyes and glanced, then looked deeply at Ye Jin with her sunken eye sockets and said:
"You, this young man, do have a lot of intentions..."
Obviously, when Ye Jin took out the Ningshen Incense, he saw that the soul of Ming Po seemed to be traumatized. However, Ye Jin was smart enough not to mention it, but regarded this as a gift to honor the elders. To put it bluntly, it was all due to worldliness.
Ming Po did not refuse. Although this Ningshenxiang was better than nothing for her, it still had some effect, and she herself was indeed full of appreciation for the demon cultivator in front of her who knew how to advance and retreat and was sensible.
Putting away the Ningshen Incense at will, Ming Po asked lazily:
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do. After all, what do you want me to do with you?"
Ye Jin smiled shyly when he heard this, and touched his head sheepishly: "It's mainly because I haven't listened to the teachings of my seniors in five years, and I miss it a lot."
"Okay, there's no need to say nice things. You're not as glib as Kong Xin. Tell me, why did you suddenly come to see me today? Could it be that you have provoked Jingde boy and need my help?"
Jingde boy......
Could it be that he is referring to the leader of Qianye Hall, Zifu Yuanman Jingde?
Ye Jin complained in her heart after hearing this, and became more and more sure of the fact that Ming Po was the ancestor of the pill formation, but perhaps compared to the ancestor Youyang and the Demon King in the Cloud, Ming Po, the ancestor of the pill formation, seemed to have a short life. , it may be that life is coming to an end.
His heart was pounding, but on his face, Ye Jin waved his hands with a wry smile:
"Master Jingde is worthy of being a master of Zifu. This junior is just a transparent little demon. How dare you make Master Jingde unhappy?"
"You didn't cause any trouble? Then why are you looking for the old lady?" Ming Po looked at Ye Jin in confusion.
Ye Jin was no longer reserved, and generously took out the [Silver Cake] from the storage bag and handed it to Ming Po:
"This junior had a chance five years ago and got this embryo. I want to ask my senior to help me find a refiner to help me refine the weapon."
Ye Jin is not worried at all about whether Ming Po will swallow the [Silver Cake]. One reason is that the silver cake seems very precious to low-level monks, but for the ancestor of the Pill Formation, to put it bluntly, it is just like that. , people don’t care about it at all.
Another thing is that even if Ming Po really values the [Silver Cake], Ye Jin feels that exchanging a semi-finished magic weapon for the friendship or care of a powerful pill-forming master in the area is a sure-profit deal for Ye Jin.
The magic weapon is just the icing on the cake for Ye Jin, but the help of a strong pill-forming expert can help Ye Jin avoid a fatal crisis.
In fact, it was not what Ye Jin expected. Ming Po was a little surprised that Ye Jin could produce a semi-finished magic weapon, but it was just an accident, and there was no result. She just said in surprise:
"Magic weapon embryo? Your chance of rebirth is really extraordinary. You can't get this magic weapon embryo by ordinary chance."
Speaking of this, Ming Po gave Ye Jin a meaningful look, but stopped delving into it and changed the subject and asked:
"What? You want to forge it into a magic weapon?"
"How can this be so? This junior is still self-aware. All he needs to do is to make it into a top-quality spiritual weapon. It won't be too late to strengthen it into a magic weapon when the junior has reached a higher level of cultivation, reaches perfection, or even becomes concentrated."
"You're pretty smart."
Ming Po accidentally glanced at Ye Jin, and her gaze towards Ye Jin became more and more appreciative. Not everyone could not help but forge the embryo of a magic weapon into a magic weapon. Most people, even if they forged it into a magic weapon, left it alone Not moving, not willing to just forge a top-quality spiritual weapon that can be used.
After all, if you want to upgrade from the best spiritual weapon to a magical weapon, it will cost a lot of money, and not many people can make up their mind.
"This is simple."
Ming Po agreed casually, and at the same time, with a flick of her finger, a black light flew out of her sleeve robe and stopped in front of Ye Jin.
The black light faded away, revealing the same black jade pendant as in the original scene.
"Take this thing and go to the descendants of the Lu family. After their descendants see this thing, they will help you."
Descendants of the Lu family?
After receiving the jade pendant, Ye Jin thought about who the descendants of the Lu family were for a moment.
Suddenly, I thought of Qianye City’s genius third-level weapon refiner—Lu Hongfeng!
Obviously, the descendants of the Lu family mentioned by Ming Po were Lu Hongfeng.
Ye Jin was naturally not dissatisfied when the genius third-level weapon refiner forged the best spiritual weapon for him.
While putting away the jade pendant, Ye Jin also felt more and more that Ming Po had a transcendent status in Qianye City and seemed to be connected to all the big shots.
Ye Jin even had some suspicions that Jinyangmen and Shituodao did not interfere with Qianye City. Is it really just because they were afraid of each other?
Is it really because of the five Zifu Concentration Overhaul in Qianye Hall?
After seeing the power of Ancestor Youyang and the Demon King in the Cloud, Ye Jin felt that the mere five third-level cultivators were not worth mentioning in front of the Ancestor Jiedan.
Not to mention the stronger Ancestor Chiyang and [Golden Bearded Lion King].
However, Jinyangmen and Shituo Island have always maintained restraint for hundreds of years. Could there be a reason for Mingpo in them?
Ye Jin didn't know, but Ye Jin felt that this was probably the truth.
Of course, Ye Jin would not ask innocently in person. No matter whether Ming Po would answer or not, this was a very destructive matter. It was not easy for a strong man who was suspected of forming a pill to get in touch with him. Now, But when it comes to strengthening relationships.
Putting away the jade pendant, Ye Jin respectfully handed over her hands to express her thanks:
"Junior shamelessly thanked senior for the reward."
Ming Po closed her eyes and nodded tiredly. Just when Ye Jin was about to leave, she suddenly said:
"Young students, you should practice well in the next five years and try your best to improve your cultivation. The beast wave in five years will not be easy..."
Speaking of this, Ming Po's face seemed to have a cryptic look. She didn't say it clearly, but she had a strong sense of vigilance.
Ye Jin immediately nodded solemnly:
"Junior knows."
"Go on, go on, don't disturb the old lady while I am doing some repairs."
"Junior, take your leave!"
Ye Jin bowed and said goodbye, but in his mind he was thinking about the beast tide five years later.
Through all the details of the surrounding things, Ye Jin found that all of them hinted at the difficulty of the future beast tide. There seemed to be other variables among them, which made Ye Jin feel more and more urgent.
After leaving Tianyuanfang City, Ye Jin rushed to the Weapon Refining Pavilion where Lu Hongfeng was located without stopping.
With the black jade pendant given by Hades, finding Lu Hongfeng to forge the best spiritual weapon was easier than Ye Jin imagined.
After showing the black jade jade pendant to the steward of the Refining Pavilion, Lu Hongfeng came out of the refining room to greet Ye Jin in person. Both his attitude and expression were extremely enthusiastic and even vaguely humble, which made Ye Jin even a little bit embarrassed. Flattered.
After hearing that Ye Jin needed to build a top-quality defensive weapon, Lu Hongfeng patted his chest and agreed without saying a word.
It is guaranteed that [Silver Cake] will be forged into a top-quality spiritual weapon and retain its magic weapon characteristics, which will not affect its future enhancement from the top-quality spiritual weapon to the magic weapon stage.
Ye Jin was naturally not dissatisfied with this.
When he first asked how much it would cost, Lu Hongfeng suddenly became angry and said that Ye Jin holding the jade pendant meant that the adult was personally coming to him to refine the weapon. If he still accepted the money, he would be stabbed in the back by his ancestors. .
After repeatedly expressing his reasons for offering money but being rejected by Lu Hongfeng, Ye Jin no longer persisted and could only lament Master Mingpo's magical power again.
He didn't even come forward to speak. It was just a jade pendant, and he asked a third-level weapon refiner to refine the weapon himself for free.
Ye Jin felt that even Master Jingde of Qianye Hall did not have such a great reputation.
In order to forge Ye Jin's top-grade spiritual weapon, Lu Hongfeng even stopped the half-refined top-grade spiritual weapon on hand, specially prepared it for Ye Jin's top-grade defensive spiritual weapon, and said that he would personally deliver it in three months. Come to your door.
Such considerate and meticulous service made Ye Jin experience what it means to feel at home.
In this regard, Ye Jin could only say sorry to the owner of this half-refined top-quality spiritual weapon.
No way, it feels so good to have a backstage!
While leaving behind the magic weapon embryo [Silver Cake], Ye Jin also left behind the fragments of [Xuanjing Shield].
Although the Xuanjing Shield is only a top-quality magic weapon, its function of automatically protecting the master is indeed a covetous thing for Ye Jin. She hopes that Lu Hongfeng can keep it on the silver cake. Of course, it is very difficult for Ye Jin to know this. It was difficult, so Lu Hongfeng said that it would be enough if he tried his best. It would be best if the new top-quality spiritual weapon had the function of automatically protecting the master. It didn't matter if it didn't.
Lu Hongfeng did not make a 100% guarantee about this. When it came to the professional knowledge of weapon refining, Lu Hongfeng appeared to be both professional and cautious. He only said that he would try his best to see if the automatic Lord Protector restriction on the Xuanjing Shield could be transferred. Although there is some certainty, it is not 100% possible, and regardless of success or failure, the Xuanjing Shield will be completely destroyed.
Ye Jin was quite open to this and waved her hand, letting Lu Hongfeng go ahead and do it.
At the same time, a pound of Wutu essence is left, which can be added during forging to improve the defense of the best spiritual weapon.
There will definitely be excess in this pound, and the excess is Ye Jin's gratitude to Lu Hongfeng.
Anyway, Ye Jin, the spirit of Wutu, originally got three kilograms from Guangyuan Sect's ancient cave. He forgot to auction it during the Jiazi auction. He took out one kilogram to upgrade the best spiritual weapons and make friends with third-level geniuses. As a weapon refiner, you can kill two birds with one stone, why not?
Lu Hongfeng did not accept the spirit stone from Ye Jin, but he readily accepted the essence of Wutu. At the same time, his communication with Ye Jin became more and more enthusiastic, and it was no longer just for Ming Po's sake as it was at first.
A customer who understands the ways of the world will naturally make it easier for people to get close to and make friends with them.
After Ye Jin, this top-quality spiritual weapon after three months will definitely make him very satisfied.
I communicated with Lu Hongfeng for more than half an hour, until it was almost sunset, and then I left the Weapon Refining Pavilion after Lu Hongfeng repeatedly persuaded me to stay.
Some casual cultivators in the Weapon Refining Pavilion saw that Qianye City's famous third-level weapon refiner was so enthusiastic about an ordinary second-level demon cultivator, and they couldn't help but guess Ye Jin's identity.
Only a few people recognized Ye Jin at the Chiba Pier as the "mountain leader" who defeated Tang Lilin, the eldest young master of Point Star Villa, and they became more and more interested in him.
Being able to have a deep friendship with a third-level weapon refiner proves how powerful the "Shan Kui" is, and makes casual cultivators more in awe.
Ye Jin doesn't care about this. Other people's opinions will not affect him. He still goes his own way. Others respect me and I respect others. Ye Jin does not refuse to make friends.
The more friends you have, the fewer enemies you have. Ye Jin understands this.
After leaving the Weapon Refining Pavilion, Ye Jin was about to rush back to his cave. Just as he was about to activate the small flying talisman, he was suddenly stopped by a surprised voice.
"Fellow Shankui!?"
Hearing the familiar words, Ye Jin turned around in surprise.
Then, he saw an unexpected face.
Looking at this face that seemed familiar to him before but had changed a lot, Ye Jin said with some surprise:
"Are you Kong Xin (the casual cultivator who invited Ye Jin to explore the ancient cave)?!"
…
