"Don't worry, I have a way." Chen Xiao said, "I actually made an agreement with the people sent by the Refiners' Union when I handed over the Chongshan jade slip. When I need it, I can go to any base and ask for the Chongshan School's subsequent knowledge jade slips. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time and didn't take it seriously. Over the years, I gradually felt the shortcomings in refining equipment. In fact, I should have asked for the latest Chongshan School jade slips a long time ago."
Tong Nuonuo immediately understood what he meant, "You want to go to the Equipment Refiner Alliance and ask for a Equipment Refining Jade Slip?"
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Chongshan School is the mainstream of weapon refining nowadays. I think the weapon that Shan Li wants to customize is most likely of this kind. I don't need to ask others, I already have a clue. I just need to check the latest information to know what the remaining materials are."
After hearing this, Chen Ziyi immediately said, "There are three fortress cities in Luobei Great Heaven Realm, belonging to Luochen, Guangji and Xuwu respectively. The weapon refiners' alliances of the righteous and evil realms do not interact with each other. The base of the weapon refiners' alliance of the righteous side is not set up in Luochen's fortress, but in Xuwu."
Chen Xiao nodded and recalled the location of the fortress city on the map.
"It seems that I can only go to Xuwu." He said slowly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I originally thought that if it doesn't work, I would go back to Luochen, but I would attract too much attention in Luochen, and it would be difficult to hide my whereabouts."
This is the trouble of being a celebrity, your every move will be noticed.
Xi Yunting looked at the few people and said, "Next, I will accompany Xiaodi to Xuwu's fortress. You find a place to hide and don't let the Minju people find you." He turned to Tang Ru and instructed, "Be sure to protect Taoist Zhenlu."
Tang Ru agreed and said, "Leave it to me."
Chen Ziyi also said, "Don't worry, you two. I will also set off after you leave, and create the illusion of going in the opposite direction."
Chen Ziyi's ability was fully demonstrated when he spread false news in Green Water City before. With his arrangements, there would be no major problems with Taoist Zhenlu's safety.
After the discussion, the group had a simple meal and rested. The next day, before dawn, Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting set out for Xuwu Fortress.
With only the two of them, they were still very fast. In less than three hours, they arrived outside the fortress of Xuwu.
After landing, Xi Yunting took off the cloak used to block the cold wind and changed into a lighter and thinner cloak. Chen Xiao did the same thing, except that his cloak was lighter in color.
After the two of them concealed themselves, they entered the fortress side by side.
Chen Xiao looked around. The people of Xuwu were not much different from those of Luochen in appearance. There was only a slight difference in their accents and the styles of clothing they wore were also very different. Fortunately, Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting were both wrapped in cloaks, so people could not see the obvious inconsistency in their clothing styles.
This was also the first time that Xi Yunting had come into contact with Xu Wu. After noticing this, he winked at Chen Xiao, who nodded. The two of them went to a clothing store and changed their clothes and shoes.
Chen Xiao had eaten some dry food in the morning. After five hours of traveling, he was now starving.
Xi Yunting was considerate of him. After coming out of the clothing store, he went straight to a restaurant that looked pretty good.
After Chen Xiao sat down, he drank two large glasses of warm water before starting to order food.
This restaurant is run by monks, and because usually practitioners come to dine here, the price of each dish is a little bit higher.
Chen Xiao glanced at the prices. Many of them cost dozens of spirit coins, while the lowest price was more than ten spirit coins.
Chen Xiao was secretly shocked. If the special dishes on the menu were not indeed rare, he would have thought he had entered a shady shop.
Perhaps because his expression was too strange, Xi Yunting asked him, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xiao handed him the menu booklet and said, "Take a look. If you didn't have a little savings, you wouldn't be able to afford it."
Xi Yunting took it and flipped through a few pages, then smiled. "It's okay, just relax a bit, I'll treat you. There are a few special dishes here that even I haven't seen before, try them."
Of course Chen Xiao would not object, so the two of them ordered two dishes, lizard soup, lizard meat rolls, and a recommended specialty, fried giant lizard heart.
When camping outside before, although Chen Xiao caught a lizard, he was distracted from eating because he encountered a flower cypress.
This time, the carefully cooked lizard meat was served, and Chen Xiao tasted it and it tasted really good.
The lizard meat is very tough and has a very elastic texture. The soup is very delicious and the meat rolls are very juicy.
Although the price was expensive, the portion was large, so Chen Xiao did not order any staple food.
The fried giant lizard heart took the longest time to prepare. Chen Xiao was already half full when this dish was served.
On the plate, twenty slices of deep red, greasy meat were cut into finger-width rectangles and placed in two layers, neatly arranged. The edge of the plate was decorated with four clusters of tender green, which looked very attractive. At first glance, it looked just like the food pictures circulating on the Internet.
However, no matter how beautiful it is, it cannot change the fact that its weight is not as good as the two previous ones.
If there were so little soup and meat rolls, Chen Xiao might not say anything, but it is precisely because of the contrast that the shock caused by the gap is particularly obvious.
Chen Xiao paused on the table with his chopsticks in hand. The waiter, who had probably seen this many times, took the initiative to explain, "Don't be upset, sir. It's very difficult to hunt this giant lizard. We were lucky to have won the heart of such a giant lizard and make it into a special dish. There are not many of them, and once they are sold out, this dish will be removed."
Only then did Chen Xiao take a bite and put it in his mouth.
The giant lizard heart slices taste sweet, salty, and chewy after being marinated and dried. To be honest, the meat is not very amazing. It can only be said that this dish is sold for its rarity and preciousness.
Xi Yunting also tasted it, but after just one bite, he put down his chopsticks.
Chen Xiao didn't force him. He knew that even if Xi Yunting wanted to eat, he only liked food made with fresh ingredients.
He would not touch this kind of pickled and dried food, no matter how delicious it was. If Chen Xiao hadn't been sitting opposite him, Xi Yunting probably wouldn't have eaten a single bite just to keep him company.
This fried giant lizard heart was the most expensive, costing three spirit beads. In order not to waste it, Chen Xiao mainly ate this dish.
Seeing that he seemed to have no questions, the waiter standing next to him was about to go down, but Xi Yunting stopped him.
"How long have you been selling this specialty dish?" Xi Yunting asked.
It was the first time that the waiter had met someone asking about this. He was just a cultivator, and he dared not refuse to answer a question from a high-level cultivator like Xi Yunting. "To answer the guest, we have been selling this dish for three months."
Three months, which is almost the same time as the time when Shan Lijia’s new wall was built.
Chen Xiao raised his head and asked curiously, "How can a giant lizard's heart be sold for so long? How big is this heart?"
The waiter became excited when talking about this. "That giant lizard was really big. It was cut into several parts and pulled here by car! It's hard to find giant lizards, and this one is even harder to find. When this dish was first served, it caused a sensation. Many guests came to my house just to eat it. After three months, only half of it has been sold. The rest can be sold for a few more months."
Xi Yunting asked, "Did you hunt this giant lizard yourself? Or did someone else hunt it and sell it to your family?"
The waiter said, "It was hunted by a monk. He was so lucky to have come across it by chance. Our boss spent a huge sum of money to buy this heart. Why don't I have such good luck to make such a fortune?" He said with an envious look on his face.
However, Chen Xiao knew that this was not luck. Shan Li must have spent a lot of energy to find the capsule of this giant lizard.
Xi Yunting asked the waiter a few more questions. It happened that the waiter had seen the man who came to sell the giant lizard heart that day. From his description, it was indeed Shan Li.
After sending the waiter away, Chen Xiao took a sip of warm water and said, "It seems that not many people know about this."
Before, the three people from the Great Heaven Realm asked around for witnesses of Shan Li’s death, but no one connected the giant lizard’s heart to him, otherwise the matter would have spread long ago.
Chen Xiao was very excited having obtained a new clue. After finishing the last piece of giant lizard heart, he waved his hand and packed another portion for his foodie companion Tang Ru.
After finishing their meal, it was already afternoon, so Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting walked to the base of the Equipment Refiners' Alliance at a leisurely pace.
The Equipment Refiners Alliance base here is also a well-known shop in Luobei. It is larger than Taizhen’s Jianzhai and is called Yixintang.
It was Xi Yunting who came forward again. They met the person in charge smoothly and presented the token representing their VIP status.
The handover between Chen Xiao and the Equipment Refiners' Alliance was public at the time, and most people did not know about it. However, as the person in charge of the Equipment Refiners' side, this person here was notified.
Chen Xiao raised his request, and the person in charge said that he needed to consult the higher-level management. Chen Xiao had no choice but to find a place to stay with Xi Yunting and wait for Yi Xintang's reply.
They were not idle during the few days of waiting. They tried every means to find out about Shan Li's visit to deliver the giant lizard heart three months ago.
However, since there were too few people who knew about this matter and the two of them were not very good at finding out, they did not gain much.
The only thing we know is that the car carrying the giant lizard's heart came from the southeast.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He didn't know whether more information about the giant lizard's heart would be useful. Even if he knew the place where Shan Li hunted the giant lizard, it would be of no use to them in finding the Broken Star Sand.
After waiting for five or six days, the person in charge of Yixintang finally brought good news. He brought back the latest jade slips of knowledge of the Chongshan School.
After getting the jade slip, Chen Xiao used his vital energy to read out the contents, and laboriously found the part he needed from the mountain of contents.
There are not many magical instruments that use giant lizard capsule as the main material. Most of them are used to make concealment tools and are considered to be niche equipment. Over the years, the application of capsule has not developed much, with only one or two additional auxiliary materials and a few new formations.
After working hard for a whole night, Chen Xiao finally locked on the materials that Shan Li needed to collect in the end. They were the two most common and most widely available ones.
Faced with such a result, Chen Xiao was dumbfounded.
