Chapter 441: The Light in the Box
NPCs like weapon refiners are relatively rare. It is not easy to find one, and it is even more difficult to establish a good relationship with one. If you really have a friend who is a weapon refiner, then you can get a lot of magical weapons at will.

Xiao Jie said: "I remember there is an equipment refiner in Xuanxu Palace, why don't you go to him for help?"

Bai Ze said helplessly: "Alas, there is nothing I can do. I have been hanging out outside since I finished my apprenticeship. I have not done much to improve my master's reputation. I have finally earned some contribution points but I have used them to exchange for spells. How can I save up any contribution points? The weapon refiner in Xuanxu Palace who has no contribution will not pay any attention to me at all."

Xiao Jie was speechless. Bai Ze was doing so badly.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help you solve this problem. I also need to go to Xuanxu Palace, so I'll take you there. The rest of you can move freely."

"Oh my god, Brother Feng, are you so proud?" Bai Ze said excitedly.

Even though he was a disciple of Xuanxu Palace, he didn't dare to ask that weapon refiner to come to his aid.

Others were also quite surprised. It was one thing to have face among the player community, but even the NPC had such a big face?
Haomie was surprised and said, "Brother Suifeng, you are not going to ask for help from Master Qingfeng, are you? I'm afraid that Ren Qing was useless when we guarded the Soul-Calming Pass last time."

Xiao Jie thought that this was true. There was no such thing as favoritism in the eyes of NPCs. Mission rewards were usually settled on the spot. Since Xiao Jie asked Master Qingfeng to help repair the magic weapon, the reward for the mission of guarding the Zhenhun Pass was equivalent to paying it off.

It won’t be easy to find someone to help you.

But Xiao Jie has his own way.

"Haha, I'm just giving it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll ask for help from everyone else. Let's go, Bai Ze. The sooner we go, the sooner we can return."

The crowd then split into two groups, with the main group returning to Luoyang Town to wait, while Xiao Jie and Bai Ze went straight to Xuanxu Palace.

The story is brief. More than an hour later, the two arrived at the gate of Xuanxu Palace.

The guy who was kneeling down is still kneeling at the door.

Xiao Jie knocked on the door with familiarity, and soon a disciple came out to check.

"You again? Hey - Senior Brother Bai Ze, what are you doing?"

Xiao Jie responded, "Excuse me, are the two masters Qingfeng and Mingyue here?"

"Master Mingyue is here. I will inform you." The disciple was familiar with Xiao Jie and knew that he was of extraordinary status.

Soon Xiao Jie met Master Mingyue.

"What are you doing here again? Are you asking for help from one of your friends? Xuanxu Palace is not a Taoist temple for burning incense and worshiping gods. Please don't keep talking like that." Master Mingyue asked with a cold face.

Xiao Jie said seriously, "Why do you say that? I came here for something important to do. Something big is about to happen. I came here specifically to remind you, so that you won't be unaware and be caught off guard."

"Oh, what's so serious?" Upon hearing that Xiao Jie was here to report the news, Master Mingyue's expression finally eased a little.

Xiao Jie made a startling statement, "The southern Great Wall of Canglin Province will be breached soon, and the demon army of the Demon Star Tower will soon break free."

The Master Mingyue was startled, and for the first time, his calm face showed surprise. "What? How is this possible? How did you know?"

"I saw this with my own eyes!" Xiao Jie said, and then he briefly recounted his experience of investigating the Demon Star Tower in Canglin Prefecture yesterday.

"The Monster Star Tower has found a way to bypass the Great Wall, and they have people to help them, so they will soon open up a route and teleport a large number of monsters directly outside the Great Wall. Once the Great Wall is lost, the entire Canglin Province will fall into chaos, with smoke rising everywhere. Master Xiaoyue has decided to withdraw his troops and defend the city. In this way, all the villages and towns in the wilderness of Canglin Province will be caught in the flames of war.

The New Imperial Army is about to invade the south, and in the upcoming war, reinforcements from Canglin Province may not be counted on.

Moreover, if the situation deteriorates further and the army of the Demon Star Tower occupies Canglin Province and attacks northward, Fengyin Province may even be attacked from both sides and be attacked from the north and south at the same time.

Master Mingyue, do you think that my information is extremely urgent? "

Master Mingyue's expression was solemn when he heard this, and he sighed deeply, "You are right, this matter is indeed very serious. Thank you for reporting it."

"Haha, you don't have to be polite, sir. We are all allies of the same blood. Why thank you? With our relationship, there is no need to be so formal."

After hearing this, Master Mingyue couldn't help but show a helpless expression, "You don't need to squeeze me. Although I don't like to socialize with people, I also understand the ways of the world. Just tell me, if there is anything you want me to help you with, just ask. For the sake of your information, as long as it's not too much, it won't hurt to help you."

"Haha, you are really open-minded. To be honest, my friend wants to refine a flying sword. Can I ask the weapon refiner of Xuanxu Palace to help him?"

Master Mingyue glanced at Bai Ze and snorted, "Bai Ze? You have disappeared since you learned the Taoist magic. I didn't expect that you are good at making friends after hanging out outside for so many days."

Bai Ze hurriedly used the gesture of bowing, "Master, please forgive me."

"Hmph, what crime can I forgive you for? You didn't rely on the Dao to commit crimes. Never mind, this is my gift. Go find Master Mu Li."

"Thank you, Master."

After the two of them left the hall, Bai Ze immediately bowed and said, "Oh my god, thank you so much, Brother Feng, you are so generous, Master Mingyue, you can even convince me with this.

So your information isn't false, is it?"

"Damn, do you know how to talk?" Xiao Jie cursed, "Hurry up, I worked so hard to get this favor for you, this is the only chance, if you can't do it, don't blame me for not helping you."

"Don't worry, Brother Feng, there will be absolutely no problem."

The two came to the weapon refining room, and the person in charge here was none other than Master Mu Li.

After explaining his purpose and handing over the letter, Master Mu Li was quite happy.

"You want to sacrifice and refine the flying sword? Since it's the host's idea, then come on. Have you brought the materials and drawings?"

"They're all here."

Bai Ze hurriedly submitted the prepared materials and drawings.

The flying sword is a special magical weapon, so the blueprint is extremely rare. Bai Ze took a lot of effort to get this one.

The materials were extremely expensive, and he had spent all his savings over the years just to collect enough materials. Even then, it was still not enough. It was thanks to the last battle in Snowfall Valley that a lot of equipment for his small account was dropped, that he was able to collect enough equipment for this wave.

After Mr. Namu Li took it, he immediately started to refine it in the furnace.

Bai Ze watched Master Mu Li throwing those precious ingredients into the furnace one by one like sprinkling seasonings, and it made his heart hurt.

Fortunately, this person is a professional, and there was no trouble from beginning to end. He is much better than those players who are only second-hand players learning refining equipment. Just look at the light of the refining furnace becoming brighter and brighter.

As a beam of light shot up into the sky, the cauldron suddenly opened.

A ray of golden light whooshed into the sky, circling for a few circles before slowly falling down, hanging in the air, emitting dazzling golden light.

Xiao Jie looked closely and was quite surprised.

This flying sword did not have a hilt or jaw, but a smooth golden blade. It was hanging there with a faint buzzing sound coming from it.

Master Mu Li chuckled, "You are lucky, this flying sword is quite spiritual. Quickly drip your blood on it."

Bai Ze hurriedly walked forward and clicked the right button on the flying sword. His character rubbed his hand on the flying sword, and a few drops of blood immediately fell on the flying sword.

The flying sword immediately circled Bai Ze three times and finally landed in front of him.

Then Master Mu Li used several pieces of lightning-struck wood to make a sword box. The flying sword fell into the sword box and finally stopped ringing.

"Here, get it."

Bai Ze took it with many thanks, overjoyed.

Xiao Jie asked: "How is it, are the attributes okay?"

Bai Ze immediately sent the flying sword attributes to Xiao Jie.

[Xia Li Hao Guang (Magic Weapon/Exclusive Weapon/Epic)

Attack: 36 stabs, 24 slashes.

Equipment required: Basic knowledge of swordsmanship.

Equipment Effect 1: Flying Sword. The flying speed of the flying sword increases by 30%, and the mana consumed when using the sword control technique is reduced by 30%.

Weapon special effect 2: The sword has a spirit. This sword has a spirit that can automatically fly out and attack the enemy when it senses danger to its owner.

Weapon Effect 3: Heavy Sword Shadows. Increases the number of sword shadows you can turn into shadows with your sword by 40%.

Weapon introduction: A flying sword used exclusively by sword masters. It is usually stored in a box and used to attack enemies during battle. The sword is spiritual and can know the master's intentions. It is extremely powerful when used in sword-controlling techniques. 】

Ordinary people cannot use this thing, and at most it can be used as a magical tool for automatic defense. But for a sword master, it is definitely a top-grade equipment.

It can greatly enhance the power of sword-wielding skills, and it can be said that the combat effectiveness is immediately greatly improved.

And the durability is also guaranteed.

Bai Ze equipped the sword case and it appeared directly on the character's back.

Sword-wielding technique—unsheathing!
With a pinch of the sword finger, a golden light shot out and flew all over the sky under Bai Ze's control.

Xiao Jie nodded repeatedly as he watched. The speed increased significantly. This alone was much sharper than the previous sword-controlling technique. It would be difficult for ordinary people to avoid it.

The two walked back while announcing the good news in the group.

Deidara: How about it, Bai Ze, did you succeed?
Bai Ze: Haha, it worked, all thanks to Brother Feng for his great reputation.

Everyone sighed, it really is important to be with the right person, Brother Feng is really considerate.

Xiao Jie hurriedly said a few humble words. Now he was helping his teammates, but in the future his professional tasks would still depend on everyone's help. His professional tasks were unprecedentedly difficult.

When the time comes, we will have to let everyone fight to the death. How can we do that if we don’t improve everyone’s strength now?

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Brother Xia, your duel date is coming soon, right? "

Xia Yi Wu Shuang: There are still a few days left, there is no rush. Moreover, with my current strength, a one-on-one fight is not a problem.

Xia Yi Wushuang said confidently.

He was tricked in the beginning and fell into the trap of the puppeteer.

Now that he has learned peerless swordsmanship and successfully awakened the Demon-Slaying Sword, it will be no problem for him to fight a puppeteer alone.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: It's better not to be careless. That puppeteer is a level 48 elite. And since he's called a puppeteer, he must have many puppets under his control. What if he summons a large group of puppets to beat you up?
Or they may use sorcery against you. No matter how strong you are, it will be dangerous if someone attacks you first.

Xia Yi Wushuang hesitated for a moment and finally said helplessly.

"Okay, then everyone go help me raid the battlefield. I'll try to fight you one-on-one first. If I can win, you don't have to fight me. If you really can't, you can fight me later."

This guy is quite arrogant, and when he says he wants a duel, he really wants to have one.

Xiao Jie couldn't quite understand it, but even though he didn't understand, he still respected such principled people.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: An Ran, what about you?
An Ran: I have done it a long time ago.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Now the only thing left is Hao Mie’s professional mission.

Haomie: To be precise, it is a prerequisite for the level 40 career. I have completed half of this task. The first step is to find a career mentor for the Dragon Slayer. Thanks to the guild’s intelligence department, I have found him. He is a butcher in Longhuazhou.

But that guy said that if you want to learn how to slay dragons, you must slay a dragon first.

Xiao Jie was speechless. This matter was really a bit troublesome.

And it's a bit of a lie. Why would you learn dragon-slaying techniques if you can slay a dragon yourself?

But that's how games are, there's nothing you can do about it.

Haomie: Oh, if I had received this quest earlier, I could have completed it while fighting the white dragon.

Xiao Jie thought what nonsense, this professional item was dropped by the White Dragon. It would not have existed before defeating the White Dragon.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: That’s okay. I also need a dragon ball. Let’s do it together later. Since no one needs it anymore, that’s all for today’s activity. Let’s disperse.

After returning to Luoyang Town, Xiao Jie went straight to the auction house.

My teammates’ tasks are almost completed, so it’s time to improve myself.

Now if he wants to improve his strength, there are two ways.

One is to obtain the monster's inner elixir, refine the inner elixir, and obtain magic. It happens that I have consumed a lot of spiritual energy recently, and there is no risk of advancing the Qi refining technique, so I can refine a few inner elixirs for fun.

The second option is to learn a few transformation magic arts, and then perform the monster evolution ritual. This way, you can not only get more monster transformations, but also get some innate magic arts for free.

But no matter which one, it requires money, a lot of money.

Fortunately, Xiao Jie still has some ways to make money.

When he arrived at the auction house, Xiao Jie first collected the money he had earned from selling the cooking products over the past two days.

Although the battles continue every day, the production and sale of monkey wine and secret dog food have never stopped.

I can earn a few taels of silver every day.

After receiving the money, he now has more than 250 taels of silver.

Next, Xiao Jie began to purchase materials.

He planned to spend all the money he had and then make cooking products to sell.

Originally, the profits of the three products, Monkey Wine, Immortal Wine and Secret Dog Food, were just so-so.

Fortunately, they are all niche tracks and there is not much competition.

Now we finally have a new flagship product - Dragon and Tiger Feast.

【Dragon Tiger Feast (Recipe/Legend)

Required for use: Fish monster meat/dragon meat/dragon meat × 1 (core material), tiger monster meat × 1, Ganoderma lucidum × 1, Immortal Drunk × 1, Nine Yang Furnace Fire.

Food Effect: Satiety +300, and permanently increase your strength and agility by 1-3 points. The specific value depends on the core material you use.

Note: This effect can only take effect once per player. 】

The cost of this thing is not low, but the selling price is definitely quite considerable.

Considering that each player can only eat it once, Xiao Jie decided to use dragon meat as the core material.

2 points of strength + 2 points of agility, a total of four attributes, can definitely be sold at a good price.

He first checked the prices of several materials.

One piece of Ganoderma lucidum costs about 1 taels of silver.

One piece of tiger monster meat costs about 1 taels of silver.

You can make Xianrenzui yourself - just let's just say the cost price is 1 tael.

The Nine Suns Furnace Fire needs to be found in the Dan Ding Hall in Xiaofeng City. Spending 50 taels of silver will give you 30 minutes of usage rights.

The more you do at one time, the lower the cost.

The last thing is the dragon meat, which costs 10 taels each. The fish monster meat is cheap, but the basic version of the Dragon and Tiger Feast is too poor, with only +1 strength and +1 agility effects, so it is difficult to sell at a high price.

Dragon meat is too expensive, and it only adds two more attributes, so the cost-effectiveness is too low.

So on the whole, dragon meat is more suitable.

In this way, the cost of each dragon and tiger feast is about 25-30 taels.

It should be no problem to sell one for 50 taels, but the sales volume may not be very large. After all, this thing is simply used to stack attributes, and ordinary players can't afford it.

But since it is something that rich people buy, isn’t 50 taels too cheap? If it is a local tyrant, it is estimated that they will not care about a little more or less.

Ordinary players probably can't afford even 50 taels.

How about just selling it for 100 taels?
Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment but could not come to a conclusion. He thought he should just make the thing first.

There is one thing Xiao Jie is sure of, this thing will definitely not lose money and will definitely be sold.
