Chapter 216: Benefactor Accepts Apprentice

"This little girl has really started practicing."

Yuan Ming's heart moved slightly, and after taking a closer look, he found a trace of mana fluctuations in her body.

Although it is very weak, the fact that she already has magic power means that she has embarked on the path of spiritual practice.

At this time, footsteps outside approached, and the little girl immediately put away the exercise paper, folded it carefully, and stuffed it into her arms.

When the door was pushed open, Tuya had already jumped off the bed and threw herself into the arms of a dark-skinned woman.

"Girl, why do you always stay in the house and don't go out to play lately?" Hagong's wife knelt down and stroked her daughter's hair with concern.

"I'm tired. I haven't gotten enough sleep recently." The little girl lied.

"I haven't let you do it recently..." Hagong's wife didn't say "work" before she remembered that the pile of firewood in the yard was picked up by her daughter.

In fact, not only did she pick them up, but she also broke the dry firewood that was as thick as an adult's arm with her bare hands.

"If you're tired, don't work for me. Our family still has money." Hagun's wife said.

Yuan Ming gave them a lot of money at the beginning. They were orphans and widowed. It was unknown whether they were used to living a poor life, or they were hiding their wealth from others. They seemed to be living in poverty.

"Yes. I understand, grandma, is the meal ready? I'm hungry again..." Tuya rubbed her stomach and made a "gurgling" sound. She was really hungry.

Hagong's wife straightened up and said with a gentle smile: "Okay, I've made your favorite stewed pheasant with bamboo shreds."

"Okay!" The little girl cheered and ran out.

A woman's slightly confused murmur came from behind: "You can eat and sleep, but you seem to have grown taller recently?"

Yuan Ming followed Tuya outside the house and saw a small farmyard.

The yard is not big, surrounded by a low wooden fence. There is no gatehouse. The ground in the yard is solid hard soil without brick paving, but it is swept clean.

At this time, there was a noise outside the courtyard, and a team of more than ten people riding various weird beasts stopped outside the courtyard.

Hearing the noise, the woman in the house was surprised and ran out immediately, taking her daughter with her to go back to the house.

At this time, the courtyard door had been pushed open.

A slender woman, her whole body wrapped tightly in a white cloth robe, wearing a bamboo hat and a veil covering her face, walked into the courtyard riding a tiger-like beast.

Hagun's wife was shocked when she saw this and quickly protected her daughter behind her.

But Tuya, who was still young, was not afraid at all. She leaned out half of her body from behind her mother and looked at the person curiously.

"Is it her?" The moment he saw the woman's appearance, Yuan Ming was shocked.

Looking at the team outside the courtyard gate again, he saw many half-naked tattooed knights riding wild beasts, just like the team he saw in his hazy state when he fell down by the river that day and delivered medicine to save him.

"It's really them!" Yuan Ming confirmed.

This woman was his benefactor. Without her detoxifying and healing elixir, he didn't know what would have happened.

After confirming, Yuan Ming was a little confused, why did these people appear here?

At this time, the woman in white riding on the beast suddenly raised her hand and waved, and a five-color disk flew out and hovered above Tuya's head.

The next moment, the disk glowed brightly, and a cyan light pillar rose into the sky, stirring up ripples of spiritual energy.

The woman in white is covered by a veil and her expression cannot be seen clearly, but there is a hint of joy in her eyes.

Hagun's wife looked surprised at first, but seeing that he seemed to have no ill intentions, she calmed herself down and stepped forward and asked:

"What are you going to do?"

"Your daughter has rare cultivation qualifications. We want to take her into our sect so that she can escape from worldly suffering and happiness and embark on the path of cultivating immortality." The veiled woman said.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would have already been fighting with each other, and she would not understand what the other party was talking about.

But Hagong's wife had seen such practitioners, and she also knew how cruel these people were when they fought. She subconsciously refused and said: "You, you are wrong, my daughter is just an ordinary person, she doesn't want to... …”

"Aniang, I want to go." Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Tuya stood up on her own.

"Tuya..." Hagun's wife was shocked.

"Aniang, I want to practice cultivation and become a person like my big brother. I want to protect Aniang and no longer be bullied by bad people." Tuya spoke coherently and her tone was extremely firm.

When the veiled woman saw this scene, her eyes flashed slightly, and her eyes became even more joyful.

Before Grandma could agree, Tuya had already looked at the veiled woman and said, "Sister, I want to go with you, but I have to take Grandma with me."

"What if I say no?" The veiled woman frowned and said.

"Then I won't go. I practice to protect my mother-in-law. How can I protect my mother-in-law when she's not around?" Tuya said without hesitation, shaking her head.

Ha Gong's wife was startled when she heard this, and she shed two tears without realizing it.

"Okay, then let's go together. Remember what you said today." The veiled woman nodded in response.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to help Tuya and her daughter pack their things and leave together.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming also felt emotional for a moment, but he couldn't express it.

When the motorcade restarted, Yuan Ming suddenly remembered that he still didn't know what sect this woman belonged to. When he was about to look around to see if there were any flags, his vision was blurred again and his soul returned to his body.

When the scene in front of him reappeared, Yuan Ming sat quietly for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the wonder of fate.

The benefactor who saved him that day actually accepted Tuya, whom he saved, into his sect. I just don’t know what his so-called rare qualifications are? However, no matter what the other sect is like, I think they will not treat such a disciple unfairly.

With the sect as a support, Tuya’s life is guaranteed, and Yuan Ming is a little relieved.

He got up and opened the window of the inn, looking at the moonlight falling in from outside, and directly grabbed a cushion, sat down on the ground, and began to practice the Dark Moon Art.

…

Time flies, and seven days have passed.

Yuan Ming went to Changxian Tower again these days and bought some pills to assist in cultivation.

He originally wanted to buy some pills that could assist in building the foundation, but Zhuo Lingling bluntly told him that this kind of pill is very precious and has a single effect. It is a priceless item and it is difficult to buy it on the market.

They don’t have it in Changxian Tower, and it is rare to see it in the market of the entire Black Rock City.

Yuan Ming searched for several days without giving up, and went to the ghost market every day to try his luck, but in the end he found nothing.

Yuan Ming did not go out tonight. Tomorrow is the day for him to retrieve the Bagua mirror and snake skin inner armor. According to the bald man, Master Huolian will start to refine magic tools for him tonight.

The image of the short and skinny old man appeared in Yuan Ming's mind, and a thought suddenly came to his mind:

"Let's see how Master Huolian refines the tools?"

He was not idle, but was mainly curious about why this old man could only refine low-grade magic tools when he could obviously repair high-grade magic tools? There must be a reason for this.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately took out the incense burner and lit the black incense.

With the familiar blurred vision, Yuan Ming's soul fell into darkness again.

When his vision was brightened again, Yuan Ming felt a scorching air wave coming towards him.

He looked at the scene in front of him again and found that in the casting furnace not far away, a blazing flame was rising and something was being burned.

There was a "clang clang" sound of hammering in his ears, the sound was neither fast nor slow, but continuous.

"Is he refining the embryo?" Yuan Ming was surprised.

But when his eyes followed the eyes of Master Huo Lian, he found that he was holding a soft armor with obvious snake skin scales in one hand, and holding a carving knife in the other hand, carving fine runes on it.

The old man was skilled and the speed of carving the spiritual patterns was very fast. At least Yuan Ming felt that his attainments were far above his own.

He looked down and found that the runes engraved on it were a rare defensive rune, which had a strong defense against some tearing, stabbing and other injuries, but weak defense against heavy hammers and heavy blows.

It was very consistent with the nature of soft armor.

"No, Master Huo Lian is carving runes, then who is refining the embryo? Do they have another hidden refiner?" Yuan Ming suddenly thought, feeling puzzled.

It was a pity that the sound came from behind, and he couldn't control Master Huo Lian to turn around.

"Master, business has been getting better and better recently. I'm afraid you'll have to work hard for a while." At this time, a voice came from behind.

Yuan Ming immediately recognized that it was the voice of the bald man.

"Could it be that he is refining the embryo? He can talk while refining the embryo, and the sound of hammering is not interrupted at all, and the breath of speaking is not disordered at all. Isn't he also a master of refining?" Yuan Ming was more and more surprised.

Master Huo Lian did not say a word until the entire rune was carved, and then he replied: "Don't talk to me while I'm carving the rune. Forgot again?"

While speaking, he still stared at the soft armor in his hand with concentration, and did not look back at the bald man.

"I was wrong, Master." The bald man immediately responded.

"Go, bring me a spiritual stone, be careful not to make a mistake, it must be wood attribute." Master Huo Lian ordered.

Not long after the voice fell, the bald man ran over, holding a green spirit stone in his hand, and asked in confusion: "Master, I understand that using spirit stones to infuse spirit can save spiritual power. But aren't gold and earth attributes suitable for defensive magic weapons? Why do you use wood-attributed spirit stones to infuse spirit?"

"What do you know? The characteristics of this snake-scale soft armor are toughness, not firmness. It is a sharp weapon that can resist cutting and stabbing. Naturally, it is suitable to use the flexible characteristics of wood attributes. This is called using materials in accordance with their materials." Master Huo Lian said unhappily.

"So that's it. I didn't expect that there are so many tricks to infuse spirits in this refining tool." Yuan Ming thought to himself, and remembered Huo Lian's words deeply in his heart.

Just as he agreed in his heart, he couldn't help but have another question in his mind: "The bald man is in front of him, who is the person who refines the embryo?"

While the two of them were talking, the "clang clang" hammering sound still did not stop, steady and continuous.

For a moment, Yuan Ming felt anxious and curious.
