Chapter 142: Meeting Uru Again
"Third Cave Master, can I ask, disciple, how long do you need to be in seclusion this time?" Yuan Ming said hesitantly after hearing this.
"It can take a few weeks or a few months. Do you have other things to do?" The third cave master frowned slightly, seeming a little displeased.
"It's like this. This disciple plans to participate in the Bailuqiu Alliance in half a year. During this period, he still needs to make some preparations, so he may not be able to take care of Huo Greedy'er for a long time." Yuan Ming hesitated and explained.
"You want to join the Bailuqiu Guild? If I remember correctly, it didn't take long for me to get you started, right?" The third cave master said in surprise, obviously a little surprised.
"Yes, the kindness of the Third Cave Master will never be forgotten by this disciple." Yuan Ming said, cupping his fists.
"Every time there are casualties in the alliance, you finally got rid of your identity as a beast slave. You can practice with peace of mind and don't take risks." The third cave master advised.
"This opportunity is rare, and I am willing to take the risk. I saw a truth in the book, seedlings in the greenhouse will not grow big." Yuan Ming insisted.
"That's all, if you think about it, I will report your name." The third cave master said.
"Thank you. During the next period of time, I will take good care of Huo Chan'er. Please rest assured, Master Three." Yuan Ming said.
"This disciple has another unkind request. Please don't blame the Third Cave Master." Yuan Ming continued.
The third cave master said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Disciple does not need any other reward this time. I just want to ask the third cave master for advice on how to advance the herring sword to the level of a real magical weapon?" Yuan Ming felt a little relieved and asked,
"Are you trying to prepare for participating in White Deer Qiu?" The third cave master could guess Yuan Ming's thoughts at a glance.
"Yes, I can't hide anything from you. This sword is always with me, and I have fought against enemies together with me several times. I have always wanted to refine it into a magical weapon that can accompany me. However, I consulted Senior Brother Amuhe before and learned from his words I learned that the Blue Fish Sword is different from ordinary semi-magical weapons. Its internal spiritual power is extremely condensed, and there is no way to re-forge it and upgrade it," Yuan Ming said.
After hearing this, the Third Cave Master nodded in agreement.
"Amuhe is right. When I was refining the herring sword, I was too ambitious. I worked hard to collect several high-quality spiritual materials. I wanted to refining a top-grade magic weapon, but it was a pity that it was not enough. The last spiritual material, the Millennium Cold Crystal, was never found. I was eager for success, so I refined the semi-magical herring sword in advance." The third cave master said with some regret.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he felt a little discouraged.
He still knew the name of the thousand-year cold crystal. Many of the books on spiritual materials in the Biluo Cave mentioned this precious spiritual material, which was usually used to refine high-grade magic weapons with cold attributes, or even top-grade magic weapons. The perfect choice for your device.
With the identity and cultivation of the Third Cave Master, it is impossible to find such a treasure. It is naturally impossible for Yuan Ming, a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, to come into contact with it.
Seeing the change in Yuan Ming's expression, the Third Cave Master knew what Yuan Ming was thinking and said, "If you just want to upgrade the Herring Sword to the level of a magical weapon, you can also try to find some low-level ores that also have cold attributes. . If I can find suitable materials, I can also help you refine it."
"Master of the Third Cave, can you help me refine it?" Yuan Ming was so unexpectedly happy that it was almost unbelievable.
"Don't be too happy just yet. I'll help you refine the herring sword, but there are also conditions." The third cave master said.
"Please tell me." Yuan Ming nodded, feeling that this was only reasonable.
"There are many special spiritual materials in Bailuqiu that are difficult to find outside. I got the news that Sang Yan, a disciple of the Black Fire Sect, brought back the White Flame Fine Gold last time. This time I need you to keep an eye on this Black Fire Sect disciple. Disciple, she will definitely look for this kind of spiritual material. Find an opportunity to get her storage bag," said the Third Cave Master.
"Master of the Third Cave, how strong is this person? Will there be help from other Black Fire Sect members?" Yuan Ming pondered after hearing this.
"This person is only at about the eighth level of Qi refining. Your herring sword is more than enough to deal with her." The third cave master said.
"If this is the case, this disciple must do his best." Yuan Ming said.
"In addition, Chen Wan has not underestimated his own capabilities and has decided to participate in this alliance, so he has been in retreat recently. You will also support each other and help each other to complete this matter together." The third cave master continued.
"Of course." Yuan Ming nodded.
"Okay, you should try to find the spiritual materials first. It will be good if you can complete the refining before the Bailuqiu Alliance." The third cave master said.
Yuan Ming thanked him and left with Huo Chan'er.
At night, when Silver Cat Xiying appeared, he took the opportunity to ask some questions about the cultivation of Ming Yue Jue, and finally told him about the Bailuqiu Alliance.
Hearing this, the latter seemed to have known it for a long time. He said, "I'm not interested in this kind of little kid's play," and then turned around and disappeared into the night.
Yuan Ming already knew Silver Cat's character, so he didn't care and started practicing on his own.
Huo Chan'er felt that sense of comfort for a long time, and subconsciously wanted to get into Yuan Ming's arms.
Just after getting a few minutes closer, it suddenly woke up and glanced in the direction of the window with a guilty conscience.
Even though it didn't see the silver cat Xiying, in the end it just moved to Yuan Ming's legs and lay down.
…
The next day.
Yuan Ming went to Guizang Pavilion early in the morning and used the few remaining contribution points to exchange for two spells.
One of them is called "Green Sword Technique". It is an intermediate technique in the Qi refining period and is an advanced version of the Wood Thorn Technique. It also uses the technique to release wood thorns, but it no longer needs to be condensed from trees or the ground.
Instead, he only needed to turn his own magic power to condense sharp wooden spikes out of thin air and project them in the void, just like controlling a flying sword, with great power and speed.
The other technique was a low-level protective technique called "Wooden Shield Technique".
When performing this technique, he also needed to condense his magic power, and through a special operation method, he made it burst out from the palm and five fingers, and condensed a three-foot-square green round shield on it.
When the round shield was used, the green light on the surface condensed, and a layer of wood texture would emerge, which looked like a green wooden shield, and could defend against some low-level magic attacks in the Qi Refining Period.
After getting the technique, Yuan Ming began to practice it.
Because he had the foundation of the Wood Thorn Technique, the study of the Green Sword Technique went very smoothly. After just three days, Yuan Ming had basically mastered the key points.
On the contrary, the practice of the Wooden Shield Technique consumed a lot of Yuan Ming's energy.
Although this technique is only a low-level defensive spell, it is not easy to perform. It requires strict control of the operation and output of mana. The mana output on the five fingers must be even, otherwise it is difficult to condense a round shield.
Once the shield is unbalanced, its defensive effect will be greatly reduced.
In the end, Yuan Ming spent almost half a month to finally master this technique, but at this time he received a message from Chen Wan saying that the Third Cave Master had come out of retreat.
In the evening, Yuan Ming went to the back mountain and returned Huo Chan'er to the Third Cave Master.
Seeing that he had not yet found the spiritual materials for refining the Green Fish Sword, and did not want to contribute points for rewards, the latter gave him the storage bag and spirit beast bag that he had temporarily lent him.
After thanking him, Yuan Ming left the Fire Refining Hall.
In a valley near the peak of the Refining Furnace Hall, Yuan Ming met Wu Lu.
For a period of time before, in order to avoid suspicion, Yuan Ming did not go to see Wu Lu even when he returned from traveling.
After coming out of seclusion this time, he deliberately paid attention to the news of the Beast Slave Hall and the Beast Taming Hall. Seeing that both sides had been calm, he took the initiative to meet Wulu.
Yuan Ming was a little surprised when he saw Wulu for the first time.
Wulu in front of him was wearing the clothes of a registered disciple of the Beast Taming Hall, with a faint smile on his face, and his aura had changed greatly.
"Brother Yuan, why do you look at me like this?" Wulu was the first to smile proudly.
"Brother Wulu has changed so much that I was a little afraid to recognize him for a while." Yuan Ming said.
"After Kuntu died, Elder Mengshan valued me. Seeing that my qualifications were just right, he took the opportunity to fill me up. Fortunately, I was quite agile and got the status of a registered disciple. I will ask Brother Yuan to take care of me in the future." Wulu said.
"Congratulations, congratulations, you are really capable, and I will have to trouble Brother Wulu to take care of me in the future." Yuan Ming said politely.
"Brother Yuan, you are too modest. Let me tell you something. Last time, there was an accident and Senior Brother Kuntu died. After the sect sent people to investigate, they didn't find anything and the matter was left unresolved. Now it has been more than half a year, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find the murderer." Wu Lu said again.
"What should we do? Will we still be worried when we go out on official business in the future?" Yuan Ming pretended to be panicked, but the stone in his heart was completely put down.
"What is there to worry about? I think the sect will not send us out in the near future. Everyone can practice in peace for a while." Wu Lu said with a smile.
Yuan Ming suddenly understood.
"Brother Yuan, the Bailuqiu Alliance is about to start. Will you participate?" Wu Lu changed the subject and asked.
"I am interested in participating. What about you?" Yuan Ming said.
"Are you really going to participate? I thought you would not take risks again after you were in danger last time." Wu Lu said unexpectedly.
"If you want to improve, you have to take some risks." Yuan Ming smiled bitterly.
"Yes, I also plan to try my luck this time. How can we improve our cultivation by relying on the sect's little things? We must take care of each other when the time comes." Wu Lu nodded and said with a smile.
"Brother Wu Lu has always been far-sighted, why would he need me to take care of him?" Yuan Ming glanced at him and said.
After the last incident, he realized that Wu Lu's identity might not be simple. His knowledge, means and character were not something that a wild man could have.
"Brother Yuan, you don't know. I asked people who have been there before. In all the alliance meetings, not only did the five major sects fight and die, but even our own people would fight to earn some things. So before this alliance meeting, the sect will gather all the participating disciples and set rules. The elders may come forward." Wu Lu said.
"There is such a thing. How can disciples of the same sect kill each other? The elders really need to take care of it." Yuan Ming said angrily. This is news that the third cave master has not said.
