Chapter 437 Forged Treasure
Xiao Mu didn't take it seriously, and said calmly: "Cooperation should also be based on the fact that there is not much difference in strength. The difference in strength is too big. Does Mr. Du really think that we can continue to cooperate?"
Du Kuang's expression changed several times, "What Mr. Xiao said is also reasonable. In this case, I am willing to take the risk. I hope Mr. Xiao will show mercy."
Xiao Mu said calmly: "Mr. Du, don't worry, what I said is to measure strength, you only need to collide with your breath, and you don't need to actually do it."
Du Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression became serious, and he said politely, "Mr. Xiao, please!"
The two of them sat still and didn't see anyone gaining momentum. The next moment, Du Kuang's face suddenly turned red, and he sat down on the sofa with him and slid back two or three meters.
Xiao Mu remained motionless, sitting on the sofa calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Du Kuang took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xiao's strength is far superior to mine. I am no match for you. Mr. Xiao laughed at me."
"It's easy to say, Mr. Du's strength is actually not low."
Xiao Mu nodded slightly and said modestly.
Du Kuang's strength is really not low, probably about the same as Zhou Shenmu.
This is considered to be a top-level existence in the general fourth-level consummation.
Du Kuang asked in a low voice, lacking confidence, "Then about cooperation?"
Xiao Mu is actually not very satisfied with the cooperation with Du Kuang.
Although the strength of the opponent can already be regarded as the top existence of the fourth level, there is still a certain gap between Xiao Mu's psychological bottom line.
However, since Xiao Mu himself does not have enough information to compete for the opportunity to become enlightened, he really needs someone's help.
After thinking about it, "I can promise Mr. Du to cooperate, but only in some ways."
"Partial cooperation?"
Du Kuang was overjoyed, but found it strange.
He couldn't figure it out, what is part of the way of cooperation?
Xiao Mu explained: "Part of the cooperation method refers to informal cooperation. During the mission, if I can, I am willing to provide some help to Mr. Du, including removing some not particularly powerful enemies."
"At the same time, as compensation, Mr. Du needs to provide information about this mission of opportunity for enlightenment, including who participated in this mission and their strength. As well as a map of the Realm of Reality and the approximate distribution of resources."
"Mr. Du can think carefully about whether he agrees to this kind of cooperation."
Du Kuang's face changed again, and after listening to Xiao Mu's words quietly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile, "I thought that with my own strength, if I took the initiative to come to the door, I would definitely be valued by Mr. Xiao."
"It is only now that I know that with my strength, the only function is to provide information."
"Forget it, I agreed, and I am responsible for the mission-related information, including the map of the Realm of Reality, the distribution of resources, and the personnel involved in the mission."
"At the same time, I also hope that Mr. Xiao will do what he says, and provide some help to me if he can do his best during the mission."
Xiao Mu waved his hand lightly, "What I promised will definitely be done. I also hope that the more detailed information Mr. Du collects, the better."
"Insufficient information will also have a huge impact on the progress of the mission."
Du Kuang stood up and assured: "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, I will go to collect information, and Mr. Xiao will be satisfied."
"Then I'm looking forward to the good news from Mr. Du, Ruoluan, see off the guests!"
※※※
Now Xiao Mu's fame is obviously beyond his own cognition.
After Du Kuang left, other mutants came soon, at least seven or eight of them, all with the same purpose as Du Kuang, to discuss cooperation.
The reactions of the mutants made Xiao Mu realize that at Pozhen Mountain, he was almost a small giant.
Xiao Mu was not proud of it, but became more serious about the next task.
The information Du Kuang brought about the fifth-level powerhouse still made him deeply worried.
The mutants in the fifth realm were able to enter the Realm of Reality and Participate in missions in a special way, which caught him off guard and also felt great pressure.
It seems that before the mission, one must be fully prepared.
Otherwise, if you are not prepared enough and encounter a mutant in the fifth realm, you may be caught off guard and you may be killed.
At this time, there is still almost a month left before the mission of enlightenment opportunity.
During this month, Xiao Mu intends to seize the opportunity to improve his strength.
Since his realm has already reached the perfection of the Tongxuan Realm, unless he breaks through to the fifth realm of Tongzhen Realm, before then, purely his own strength is absolutely impossible to improve.
If you want to improve your own strength, you can only start with external objects.
Foreign objects are all kinds of magic weapons and strange means.
At this point, there are a total of three things he can do.
First, condense the profound art.
With his current strength, he can already practice advanced profound arts.
The previous Xuanfeng Needle is only a basic profound technique, its function is single, and its power is completely insufficient.
Compared with Xuanfeng Needle, the power of advanced profound art can be increased several times at least.
But to practice profound arts, you need cheat books.
Xiao Mu began to think about whether he should go down the mountain, find someone to compile the cheats related to advanced mystical arts, and then practice through energy mutations.
Second, magic weapon.
In this energy fruit mission, Xiao Mu obtained a high-grade magic weapon, the Demon-Suppressing Pestle.
It is a pity that the high-grade magic weapon, the subduing magic pestle, belongs to the Buddha treasure and is not suitable for him, a Taoist practitioner.
If you want to use it, you must recondense the subduing magic pestle and make it into a treasure of the Taoist sect.
Fortunately, the Subduing Demon Pestle itself has power, and it can continue to be used as long as it is condensed and recast, and it does not need to be mutated again.
Third, the door god map.
The door god picture in Xiao Mu's hand is only half.
Xiao Mu is quite satisfied with the special power of the door god map after several missions.
However, the power that half of the door god maps can exert is only half of the power of the entire door god map, or even less than half.
If another picture of the door god can be obtained, Xiao Mu's strength will definitely be greatly improved.
Xiao Muning frowned in thought.
At present, for him, these three methods are the only ones that can greatly improve his strength.
After a period of hard thinking, Xiao Mu decided to carry out the three methods at the same time.
The first thing to prepare is advanced mystic arts.
Xiao Mu decided to go down the mountain.
Leaving Pozhen Mountain, take a plane to the city.
Two days later, in a certain community, Xiao Mu rang the doorbell of a certain household in a certain east building.
"who?"
Behind the doorbell, an impatient and haggard voice rang.
"Mr. Chi? I want to discuss a business with you."
Xiao Mu said politely.
"No time!"
An irritable and impatient voice sounded, and then the call was cut off.
Jingle Bell!
Xiao Mu rang the doorbell again.
"You got the wrong guy!"
The irritable and haggard man yelled impatiently at the communicator.
"I'm sure I didn't find the wrong person."
Xiao Mu was very patient, "Mr. Chi, please open the door and meet me."
"You'd better say something first, I don't do business, what business can I talk about?"
Mr. Chi shouted impatiently.
Xiao Mu was not angry either, "I would like to ask Mr. Chi to help me compile a cheat book. If it can be completed within three days, I am willing to pay one million."
"What did you say? A million?"
Mr. Chi's tone was suddenly high, and he regained his energy quickly, "Please come in and talk, no, I'll go down to pick you up."
The call was cut off again, and soon there were hurried footsteps, someone ran down the stairs, followed by the door opened, and a bearded man in his thirties stretched out his hand and opened the door.
The man, Mr. Chi, stared straight at Xiao Mu, "You want to compile a book? Are you sure it's a million?"
"That's right, it's me, Mr. Chi, can you go in and talk?"
Xiao Mu smiled.
An hour later, Xiao Mu walked out of the community satisfied.
After coming out of the community, Xiao Mu reached out to hail a taxi on the street, and casually mentioned a location.
※※※
Two hours later, at the vegetable market.
"Is it Mr. Zhou Zhuangyan?"
Xiao Mu walked leisurely in front of an old man in his seventies who was shopping for vegetables.
"Who are you?"
The old grocery shopping man looked Xiao Mu up and down suspiciously, apparently guessing Xiao Mu's identity and purpose.
Xiao Mu smiled and said, "Old Mr. Zhou Zhuangyan, can you take a step to speak?"
"Is there anything you can't say in person?"
Zhou Zhuangyan's face was strange, and he was on guard, worried that Xiao Mu had bad intentions.
"It's a private matter, it's inconvenient for others to know!"
Xiao Mu looked calm.
"Then you wait a while, wait until I buy the vegetables."
Zhou Zhuang said.
"Old Mr. Zhou, please go ahead!"
Xiao Mu waited patiently for Zhou Zhuangyan to buy vegetables.
Half an hour later, Zhou Zhuangyan finally bought what he needed, and left the vegetable market with several plastic bags.
Xiao Mu took the opportunity to follow.
"Young man, can you speak now?"
Zhou Zhuangyan asked Xiao Mu's intention again.
Xiao Mu said: "Mr. Zhou, you are an old blacksmith, I want to ask you to help me build something."
Zhou Zhuangyan shook his head when he heard it, "Young man, you must have hired the wrong person. To build things, you should go to a processing factory."
"I can't make what I want in the processing plant. Mr. Zhou, as long as you can help me create it successfully, I am willing to pay the price of one fire spirit fruit and five energy fruits."
Xiao Mu smiled and said as if nothing had happened.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Zhuangyan was taken aback by Xiao Mu's words, his face was full of surprise, and he threw the plastic bag on the ground unconsciously.
"One fire attribute mutation fruit and five energy fruits, as long as Mr. Zhou can help me build something."
Xiao Mu repeated.
Zhou Zhuangyan's face immediately turned serious, he picked up the plastic bag, and greeted Xiao Mu, "Young man, please follow me."
Half an hour later, in a small independent courtyard.
The furnace fire was steaming, and Zhou Zhuangyan was holding a mutated hammer and tongs, and a demon pestle was burning with real fire in the furnace cavity.
As the furnace temperature rises, the subduing magic pestle suddenly emits golden Buddha light.
Under the shroud of Buddha's light, the real fire in the furnace cavity was suppressed and extinguished immediately.
Zhou Zhuangyan started the fire again without giving up, and tried several times in a row, but he couldn't melt the pestle.
Every time, the temperature was slightly higher, and Buddha light was generated in the subduing magic pestle, directly suppressing the furnace fire.
Zhou Zhuangyan was helpless, and said to Xiao Mu: "Mr. Xiao, the level of your demon pestle is too high. With my furnace fire, it is not enough to melt and cast it. I can only say sorry to you."
Saying sorry, Zhou Zhuangyan had a look of strong disappointment on his face.
He was really moved by Xiao Mu's reward.
A mutated fire spirit fruit and five energy fruits are invaluable treasures for a blacksmith like him who has no mutated but mastered mutated casting skills.
Xiao Mu frowned and fell into deep thought.
A few minutes later, Xiao Mu seemed to have made a sudden decision, "Mr. Zhou, I hope you can try again."
"Hey! It's the same if you try again ten times. The magic pestle you brought is already a treasure, and there is no way to smelt it. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it can be smelted, it is not a blacksmith at my level. able to be smelted."
"Mr. Xiao, I suggest you go to someone else, maybe some mutants who have practiced different arts can help you succeed in smelting."
Zhou Zhuangyan made a suggestion, but regretted it.
The reward offered by Xiao Mu made him very excited.
But because of his lack of ability, he had to give up this business.
In fact, he was even more reluctant than Xiao Mu.
"I hope Mr. Zhou can try again. This time, maybe he will succeed."
Xiao Mu smiled and discussed with Zhou Zhuangyan.
"It's the same as trying ten more times, but since you really want to try, I'll try again."
Zhou Zhuangyan did not refuse, after all, he was reluctant to give up the fire spirit fruit and five energy fruits that Xiao Mu said.
Restart the furnace, regenerate the furnace fire, clamp the subduing magic pestle with tongs and put it into the furnace cavity.
The mutated flames began to roast the subduing magic pestle, heating the subduing magic pestle for smelting.
"Great decree, come out, restrain!"
Xiao Mu looked solemn, suddenly shouted angrily, and pointed.
The grand decree came out, and with a bang, it unfolded directly.
A series of golden lights fell down, hitting the Demon Subduing Pestle one after another.
The faint golden radiance on the Jiangmo pestle's body suddenly subsided as the golden light of the Great Order entered, completely concealing the sacred aura, as if it had become an ordinary object.
"This... this is..."
Zhou Zhuangyan was shocked, and stared at the grand decree floating in the air.
The emperor's prestige released by the Great Decree had an impact on him. Although he had mastered the abnormal blacksmithing skills, he was just an ordinary person after all.
Although Xiao Mu didn't target him, and deliberately restrained the emperor's prestige of the Great Order, only targeting the Subduing Demon Pestle, the remaining prestige emanating from it still had a deep impact on him, making him tremble and almost want to kneel down.
"Ahem!"
Xiao Mu coughed lightly, and pointed at Zhou Zhuangyan with a flick of his fingers to help him resist the majesty of the imperial decree.
"Mr. Zhou, it's time to start. Try again to see if you can smelt the Demon Subduing Pestle."
"well!"
Zhou Zhuangyan wakes up like a dream, but the shock in his heart still exists. Thanks to Xiao Mu's help, he can barely block the imperial power released by the imperial decree.
"Mr. Xiao, please help me blow the wind!"
With iron pliers in hand, he clamped the subduing magic pestle tightly, and at the same time called Xiao Mu for help.
"good!"
Xiao Mu reached out and pulled up the mutant bellows.
call! call!
The flames burned fiercely, and the temperature of the furnace rose rapidly.
Not long after, the golden subduing pestle was burned into a fiery red.
boom! boom! boom!
Zhou Zhuangyan clamped the subduing demon pestle tightly with iron tongs, and hit it hard with the mutated hammer.
With the forging again and again, the subduing magic pestle gradually changed its shape in his hand.
After several hours, the shape of a small golden pagoda gradually took shape.
