After a while, the fire master held the spirit stone in his hand and used a secret method to infuse the soft armor. Soon, the spirit filling was completed, and the runes on the snake scale soft armor lit up. A layer of cyan light slightly protruded outside the soft armor, and soon disappeared.
"Not bad." Master Huolian held the soft armor and inspected it carefully before nodding with satisfaction. On the side, the bald man immediately brought over a ceramic tea cup, which was filled with bright red and bright strong tea.
After Master Huolian put down his soft armor, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. He slowly stood up and moved his muscles.
"Turn around, turn around." Yuan Ming muttered silently in his heart. Unfortunately, his thoughts could not influence Master Huolian. The latter just stretched his waist and sat down again. Yuan Ming estimated that the time of possession was almost over, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But at this moment, the "clang" sound behind him suddenly stopped, and the voice of the bald man came: "Master, it's done." Yuan Ming was a little surprised when Master Huolian finally got up and turned around.
As his eyes turned, Yuan Ming also looked over. However, except for the bald man, there was no other person behind Master Huolian. Next to the bald man, there was a six-foot-tall "Tin Man" who looked humanoid but was clearly not human.
The iron sheet is wrapped in blue-black iron sheet. There is only a human-shaped outline, but no human facial features. Even the body structure seems a bit rough, except for the two arms, which are finely made. One of the arms does not have a human palm structure, but is directly connected to a huge hammer.
Whether it is the casting hammer or other parts of the Tin Man's body, there are dark red indented circles distributed on the surface, and there are detailed lines connecting each circle. It looks like one or several circles are magnified several times. Unique runes that are severely deformed.
"Is this thing actually refining embryos?" When he had this question in his mind, the bald man gave the answer. Master, although this mechanical puppet is easy to use, its limitations are still too great..." There was a hint of complaint in his words.
"What's the point of complaining about how much food you eat and how big the bowl is? Being good at making low-grade magic weapons is enough in this Black Rock City." Master Huolian glared at him and said.
"But the embryonic iron refined from it can actually reach the middle-grade level. Your craftsmanship in carving talismans and filling spirits is exquisite. Why don't we take over the business of mid-grade magic weapons? This revenue can be increased at least five times." The bald man said.
"How many times have I told you this? The level of this puppet is not high. Even if it can refine mid-grade embryonic iron, it is not of the best quality. So wouldn't the created magic weapon be a waste of money?" Master Huolian He frowned and shouted.
"You, you are too striving for perfection." The big man knew that he was angry and could only mutter in a low voice. "Hey, if I hadn't been injured in a conspiracy in my early years and couldn't swing the hammer to refine the embryo, why would I have needed to buy Baijimen's embryo-refining puppet? Master Huolian sighed quietly.
Yuan Ming listened with great interest, and it turned out that there was a puppet who could specialize in embryo refining. What kind of sect is Baijimen? A sect that specializes in producing puppets? I haven’t heard of it in southern Xinjiang, maybe it’s a sect from the Central Plains?
Just as Yuan Ming was thinking wildly, his vision began to become blurry and he fell into darkness again.
On the second day, Yuan Ming retrieved the snake scale soft armor and Bagua mirror from Master Huolian. Although the Snake Scale Soft Armor was a low-grade magic weapon, its appearance and quality were fine, and the Bagua Mirror was also repaired extremely well. Yuan Ming was very satisfied with it and left after paying.
After leaving Black Rock City, Yuan Ming patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and a green light flew out. Where the green light fell, a clear crane chirped. The Qingyun Crane stretched its wings and jumped and danced on the spot. It obviously preferred to stay outside than sleeping in the spirit beast bag.
Yuan Ming stepped forward and stretched out his hand. Qingyunhe immediately lowered his head obediently, and gently rubbed his palm close to him, appearing extremely obedient. "Let's go." Yuan Ming jumped on Qingyun He's back and shouted softly.
The Qingyun Crane immediately screamed, spread out its wings, waved its wings vigorously, stirred up the airflow, and sent its body high into the sky, flying towards the east. Just two days. Qingyun Crane pressed down on its head and landed towards a town below.
After landing outside the city, Yuan Ming put away the Qingyun Crane and walked outside the city gate. Tiehu Town, I didn’t expect to come here again. Look at that familiar plaque
Um, chuckle. After saying that, he quickly walked into the city gate.
After entering the door, Yuan Ming subconsciously glanced at the notice board next to him, and saw that the paper posted on it had faded, and the latest one was a recruitment list for some kind of painter. Yuan Ming didn't pay much attention. He came to Tiehu Town this time mainly because he wanted to meet the person sent by his father to meet him.
Although Yuan Ming didn't know if they were still there, he still decided to make a trip. Near noon, the busiest time in the city, Yuan Ming passed by Lao Yandai's inn, only to find that it had closed its doors and suspended operations.
He didn't care, and planned to go directly across the street to the lord's mansion to find out the news. Just walking in the streets, the smell of wine and food came from both sides. After a while, Yuan Ming moved his index finger and the gluttons in his stomach began to scream.
He picked a restaurant with a small number of people and walked in. He saw a frowning young man with dark leather wrists trotting towards him.
"There is a private room upstairs in the guest house, please invite me." The thick-browed young man frowned before he finished speaking. She looked at the guest in front of her and felt that he looked more and more familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember who it was. .
"Hu Tu, long time no see. Yuan Ming was the first to be happy, hehe said. Hearing Yuan Ming's voice, Hu Tu immediately woke up: "Are you Yuan Ming?" He looked happy at first, then turned to feel guilty, and his eyes were a little dodged. .
Yo, have you become the boss? Yuan Ming teased. He could tell at a glance that although Hu Tu was dressed simply, the material was not something that a waiter could wear.
This, this is just a small restaurant. Brother Yuan, come upstairs with me and we can talk upstairs. Hu Tu was talking incoherently for a while, and finally managed to calm down and lead Yuan Ming to the second floor.
The two entered a private room. Hu Tu ordered the waiters to serve the banquet according to the highest standards, and then closed the door. After turning around, Hu Tu immediately knelt down to Yuan Mingchang and said with both guilt and gratitude: "Brother Yuan, I have been looking for you for a long time, but unfortunately there has been no news from you since we said goodbye.
"What do you want from me?" Yuan Ming pretended not to know. To apologize and to repay a favor. When I had the intention to harm you, instead of blaming you, you actually left ten silver coins for me. It would have been strange for someone else to not sell me to mine. Hu Tu said with a solemn expression.
Yuan Ming thought to himself, in fact, I also sold it, but I just snatched it back. "Okay, if you hadn't brought me out from the cemetery, I might have died. It's all about cause and effect." Yuan Ming also thought of this at the beginning, so he didn't really sell Hu Tu.
"This time, no matter what, let me thank you." Hu Tu was overjoyed when he saw that Yuan Ming didn't mean to blame him. After a while, the waiter brought a table full of good wine and food. Hu Tu stopped caring about business and ate and drank with Yuan Ming.
He told about his experiences after breaking up with Yuan Ming, and how he worked hard with those ten silver coins, gradually becoming rich, and finally settled down in Tiehu Town and opened the "Ming'en Building".
Speaking of which, in fact, when Yuan Ming came to Tiehu Town last time, this restaurant had already opened, and Yuan Ming even passed by the door. After some discussion, the two laughed away their grudges.
Just when Hu Tu asked about Yuan Ming's experience, before Yuan Ming could say anything, there was a sudden noise downstairs. Yuan Ming listened carefully and heard the sound of soldiers and armor clashing. There were about ten people in the group.
Before he could hear clearly, the noise below escalated to the sound of tables being lifted, shouts of curses, and panicked shouts from guests. It's okay, I'll go down and take a look. Hu Tu frowned, comforted Yuan Ming, and hurriedly got up and went downstairs.
When he got downstairs, he saw the group of armor-clad soldiers and immediately recognized them. They were the soldiers of the Lord's Mansion of Tiehu Town, and his face immediately became a little ugly.
"Sir, what are you doing? I am the owner of this restaurant, and I am friends with the lord's manager Wulin. Please give me some face. No matter what the problem is, let's sit down and talk slowly." Hu Tu paused. After a pause, he quickly put on a smile and greeted him.
"It's you, you little guy, I'll fuck you! The leader was a strong man with a full beard. He slapped Hu Tu with an angry face and knocked him out.
"That bastard Ulin introduced the original liar among them.
Zi, he said that some palace painter who was passed down by Wu Daozi defrauded the lord of a large sum of money and ran away. He had been beaten half to death, and he confessed that it was your boy who introduced the liar to him, right? The rugged man yelled angrily.
"Ah...it's not me..." Hu Tu was shocked when he heard this and quickly defended himself. I don’t care if it’s you, but that liar named Wu Liao is still living here with you? The stout man asked loudly. "
He moved to the Lord's Mansion the day before yesterday and has never been here again... Hu Tu said immediately after hearing this. That Wu material moved in half a month ago. He ate and drank at his place for several days, always paying bills on credit.
Hu Tu went to urge him, and the man said that he was a direct disciple of Wu Daozi, a painter from the state of Wu, and a royal painter. Any painting he painted could be worth the price of his restaurant.
Hu Tu didn't believe it, and planned to report the man to the officials, but Wu Liao, the clinker, said that he saw the city gate recruiting the Lord's Mansion and was looking for a painter. As long as he accepted this task and paid back the money, wouldn't he be able to catch him? The result was that Hu Tu once again suffered the losses of the Central Plains people and was deceived by Wu Liao.
