Chapter 32 Two-in-one [Including the request for three months of nutritional fluids]...
The first batch of storage bags and swords customized by Zhaoxinju were quickly produced.
Yan Luoyue agreed on the delivery time with the other party in advance.
As for this, Yan Luoyue had no intention of stepping into Ruyi City in person before the matter of the Lu family was concluded.
So after negotiation, they decided to set the delivery point at the demon clan's home ground, which was also Yuemingji.
…………
Resurrection, familiarity repeats itself. This time, Yan Luoyue still randomly picked a lucky snack stand as the delivery point.
After starting the instrument refining business, Yan Luoyue was able to understand more and more about the advantages of Yuemingji.
The market is held every five days, and the location of each stall is not fixed, the opening time is not fixed, and even the stall owner is not fixed.
Even if someone wanted to investigate the news in Yuemingji, under the above three premises, it would be difficult for them to even restore the situation on the scene, let alone find out the information they want.
The "lack of rules" of Yuemingji is actually its biggest protection.
The shopkeeper of Zhaoxinju arrived earlier than Yan Luoyue.
He looked from afar at the weapon maker's striking black robe and immediately stood up respectfully.
Next to the shopkeeper, there was a beautiful woman sitting. She was the female cultivator who rescued Yan Luoyue that day.
Realizing that Yan Luoyue was looking at her, the female cultivator lazily did not stand up, but just raised her hand and gestured to Yan Luoyue.
"I remember that this fellow Taoist is a guest official of Zhaoxinju?" Yan Luoyue nodded at her, and the hoarse voice of the young man sounded without any emotion. "Thank you for your help last time."
The female cultivator chanted and watched the falling moon.
She blinked her watery eyes, sending out not a glance of affection, but a meaningful hint.
"The master treated me much colder this time than last time. Is he blaming me for disturbing his business?"
Yan Luoyue was trembling, and said very little: "Daoyou, you are too suspicious."
The first goods delivered were swords. Yan Luoyue placed four standard storage bags on the table and pushed them to the shopkeeper of Zhao Xinju.
Yan Luoyue originally thought that during the delivery period, the charming woman would find an excuse to quietly avoid him.
Who would have thought that this female cultivator would sit still like a mountain.
The shopkeeper did not refuse, but examined the sword in front of her.
At this point, Yan Luoyue was silent for a moment, turned his face towards the shopkeeper, bent his index finger, and tapped lightly on the table.
Although her face was completely obscured by the shadow of the awning, the meaning of the knock was obvious.
She was asking the shopkeeper at Zhaoxinju - what was going on?
Why was this woman brought to the delivery site?
Counting the goods requires the escort of a guest official with high military power, but when inspecting the goods, can't this guest official be sent away?
If the shopkeeper of Zhaoxinju cannot explain this matter clearly, Yan Luoyue will no longer have any contact with this store after completing this business.
His intentions were questioned, and the shopkeeper stood up again and bowed to Yan Luoyue as compensation.
"I'm so sorry, Master, I didn't hide it from you last time."
"Please allow me to introduce you again - this Miss Zhuo'er is actually one of the owners of this store."
So that's how it is. No wonder the nun's attitude towards participating in this business was so calm that it almost seemed like a matter of course.
Zhuo Er nodded. She held up her cheek with one hand, and under the light of the lamp, her face looked even more like jade.
"Master, please forgive me. When we met last time, you had not yet reached a cooperative relationship with Zhaoxinju. So my true identity was not disclosed at that time."
Speaking of this, Zhuo Er smiled slightly and pointed to the storage bag on the table.
"But after learning about the master's abilities, I realized that we had been judging others by our own standards.
"Since you have such ability, the Golden Scale Dragon is just around the corner. These trivial matters of ours will soon become a piece of cake for you."
As she spoke, Zhuo'er covered the thing with a towel and placed it on the table.
It was a big red invitation with gold sprinkles. When it was placed on the table of the snack stand, even the greasy and plain tabletop seemed to be illuminated by its splendor.
In the middle of the post, the word "Bai Lian" is written in gold cinnabar.
There is a silver pattern printed on the lower right corner of the post, with three legs under the furnace and floating hammers on the furnace mouth, which is the symbol of the weapon maker in this world.
Yan Luoyue's expression moved slightly, as if he understood something.
"This is..."
"This is an invitation to the Hundred Refinements Conference. Master, you can keep it for fun or give it to someone else. Please feel free to do as you please."
Zhuo'er made a "please" gesture to the invitation on the table and said with a smile.
"In addition, from what I understand, at the next Hundred Refinements Conference, there may be a shocking secret that will be revealed to the world."
——————————
In the game "Return of the Worlds", there is also a similar gathering setting. As the name suggests, the Hundred Refinements Conference is a grand gathering exclusively for weapon refiners.
Among them, "Lian" refers to the instrument refiner, and "Bai" refers to the level.
The Hundred Refinements Conference is held every ten years, and the number of invitations is limited.
All invitations will be issued in advance before the end of the previous Bailian Conference, and can only be transferred but not reissued.
For example, the invitation that Zhuo'er sent to Yan Luoyue was for a meeting several years later.
Yan Luoyue calculated with his fingers and felt that his health bar at that time should be able to increase to a safer level.
Above the Hundred Refining Conference, there are the higher-level Thousand Refining Conference and the Ten Thousand Refining Conference. However, the latter two are not at the level that Yan Luoyue can access for the time being.
In fact, this invitation to the Hundred Refinements Conference alone could be sold for at least a thousand low-grade spirit stones, and it was in high demand.
Zhuo'er's apology gift touched Yan Luoyue's heart.
As an instrument maker, she certainly didn't want to miss such a grand event.
Generally speaking, there will be special instrument refining competitions at such events.
Yan Luoyue had never practiced martial arts with anyone since she came to this world, so her hands inevitably itched when she thought about it.
But if she wants to create something worth showing off, she has to find a way to start a good spark.
It doesn't have to be the innate fire. If the separation method is proper, Yan Luoyue can also use some carefully cultivated acquired fire.
Frowning seriously, Yan Luoyue silently made a list in her mind.
First of all, there is no hope for clues about the fire from the tribesmen, Sister Yu, and the two brothers.
Before Yan Luoyue, the Turtle Clan had never had a famous weapon refiner, and they lacked knowledge of weapon refinement. Even the Great Elder with the highest level of cultivation could not tell the difference between different kinds of fire.
Secondly, maybe she could get some clues from the shopkeeper of Zhaoxinju, but she would have to change her alias first.
After all, in the shopkeeper's opinion, the little girl Yan Luoyue, the weapon refiner in Doupeng, and the mysterious "master" hidden behind them are all masters in the weapon refining world.
With such a transcendent status, how could he be entrusted with the management of even a post-natal fire seed in a small town?
Finally, the highest-level helper Yan Luoyue knows so far is Jiang Tingbai.
However……
Yan Luoyue sighed deeply.
As for the clues about the fire, Mr. Jiang was the one most likely to know.
It's a pity that he is poor and inexperienced in refining instruments... Well, Yan Luoyue said that Mr. Jiang has a clean and honest character, and he only has a superficial understanding of refining instruments, so he probably can't provide much help in this regard.
But no matter what, I'd better ask Mr. Jiang for advice on this matter.
Yan Luoyue was thinking about this until the next day's class.
With the protection of various blood-replenishing equipment, Yan Luoyue has become bolder recently and would take martial arts lessons with his two brothers from time to time.
Most of the time, in martial arts classes, Yan Luoyue would not personally participate in the battle.
She would bring a pony and place it next to her, sit next to her husband, hold her small water bottle, and drink mung bean soup from time to time.
There are also small breaks where the teacher leads the students in learning the moves.
Usually at times like this, Yan Luoyue would stand in the front row of the team and learn.
But for some reason, every time she kicked her little carrot legs, someone would giggle behind her.
When Yan Luoyue responded, the boys all looked serious, and some even asked in a serious tone, "What's wrong, sister? What happened?"
Yan Luoyue: “…”
She saw through them. They were all evil monsters!
However, today's martial arts class is different from previous ones. This is a field practical class.
…………
This is not the first time that the students in the Lizi class have participated in field combat.
Generally, in this kind of class, experienced teachers will release their consciousness in advance to patrol the surrounding environment.
After ensuring safety, the teacher will immediately divide the students in the class into several groups and ask them to hunt for specific targets.
The student who was assigned to the same group with Sang Ji today happened to be Brother Tang.
This guy is an old acquaintance.
After being beaten by Yan Gan and Sang Ji, Brother Tang has been defeated again and again. In many martial arts classes, Brother Tang is persistent and follows him like a shadow. His spirit of not admitting defeat is worth learning.
The two of them were actually assigned to the same group. They looked like enemies, and were extremely fierce.
Before Sang Ji could do anything, Brother Tang turned his face away with deep hatred and anguish, and cursed him viciously: "Sang dog."
If he provokes first, Sang Ji will be able to take it.
When it comes to the ability to taunt, Sang Ji is at least one level higher than Tang Ge.
He gently opened the bamboo cup of mung bean soup and nonchalantly pointed at Brother Tang: "Wait - wait for the soup to cool down."
This double entendre instantly made Brother Tang furious.
Yan Luoyue was originally watching the crowd, but Sang Ji's words were too absolute.
And she suddenly remembered that Brother Tang was actually a wild chicken monster.
In an instant, Yan Luoyue thought of the famous scene of "Chicken soup is coming——" and couldn't help but snort.
Her voice was not actually very loud, and she stopped talking in time.
But to Brother Tang, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
Brother Tang stared, finally finding someone to vent his anger on.
He took a few steps towards Yan Luoyue with big strides: "Why, you think I can't deal with your brother, and I can't deal with you?"
Sang Ji's expression suddenly fell: "If you have the nerve to come at me, what does this have to do with my sister?"
"It's none of her business, don't do it!"
Brother Tang gritted his teeth, stared at Sang Ji with red eyes, and rushed towards Yan Luoyue without thinking.
"I've seen this little bastard is up to no good. The last time Jiang Tingbai came to your rescue, it was this guy who tipped you off!"
Sang Ji reached out to grab Tang Ge, and his fingertips just brushed against the fabric of Tang Ge's back. Yan Gan, who was assigned to another group, also noticed the movement here and hurried in this direction.
But none of them moved as fast as Yan Luoyue.
At the moment when Brother Tang's huge shadow was pressing down, Yan Luoyue quickly took out a jade bracelet from her backpack.
This is the equipment with the highest defensive power that she can wear with her current level of cultivation, and it can help her resist attacks within a certain range.
In this situation, Yan Luoyue was not panicking at all.
After all, in just half a second, Sang Ji could grab the person.
The teacher's eyes were also cast in this direction, and a silver ball flew out of his hand like a flash of light.
And Luoyue has a magic weapon for defense, so no matter how exciting Tang Ge's behavior is, she won't be afraid... Huh? Wait? !
Brother Tang's swinging fist didn't even land on Yan Luoyue.
He neither hit nor scolded Yan Luoyue, but with a clear malicious look on his face, he threw the ball at her feet.
"You little bastard, go cry to your brother."
Yan Luoyue dodged in time and avoided four or five balls, but failed to avoid more.
As soon as the balls fell, dozens of lights with intricate patterns unfolded at the same time, interweaving in a chaotic manner.
Sang Ji gasped on the spot: "Teleportation array!"
Oh, he should have remembered that Brother Tang had spent money to buy a lot of random teleportation arrays at the stall at the Talent Conference that day!
Yan Luoyue made a prompt decision and ran out.
However, more than ten teleportation arrays were deployed at the same time, bringing with them a tremendous suction force, vying to grab her hands and feet.
Unfortunately, this attack was neither harmful nor difficult to defend against. The jade bracelet and the blood-boosting hairpin that Yan Luoyue had just taken out were completely ineffective.
The teacher had already arrived and slashed the teleportation array with his sword, instantly destroying a large part of the array.
Logically, if the teleportation array is destroyed, the teleportation will stop immediately for the safety of the person being teleported.
But for some reason, these dozen or so teleportation arrays are still functioning!
This small random teleportation array normally has a teleportation range of fifty miles.
Because Teleportation Arrays affect each other, no one would stack them. Using more than ten Teleportation Arrays at the same time is unheard of.
Furthermore, what Tom bought was not the regular formation from the store, but rather the unsecured products from the roadside stalls - even the violation of the formation could not stop them.
Under the influence of various circumstances, Yan Luoyue was directly teleported to a place outside the range.
As for the above reasons, Yan Luoyue was still not sure at this time.
She only knew that she had not been able to escape from the range of the teleportation array.
The next second, the light from the transmission array was so bright that it blinded her. When she came to her senses, she was already there.
Yan Luoyue looked around, wondering what place this was.
The surrounding environment is damp and dark, with moss growing everywhere and towering stone walls on all sides.
The top of Yan Luoyue's head was hanging upside down, and water drops fell every few moments. He sniffed and smelled a thick and dull odor that seemed to have a slight fishy odor.
Judging from various signs, this should be a large cave or the center of a mountain.
The fishy smell in the cave means that this might be the territory of some monster.
Taking this into consideration, Yan Luoyue first found an inconspicuous corner to stand in, and then took out her Little Talent phone watch... No, it was the communication stone to Mr. Jiang.
As for bold choices like exploring the cave or taking the opportunity to provoke monsters, Yan Luoyue had never thought about it.
For a frail elementary school student like her, "looking for a teacher when encountering problems" is a soul-stirring choice engraved in her DNA.
Yan Luoyue quickly sent an urgent message, roughly describing the surrounding environment.
She didn't go into too much detail, because a swordsman as powerful as Mr. Jiang must be able to project his spiritual consciousness to conduct inspections.
As far as Yan Luoyue knew, the transmission range of that random transmission array was only fifty miles at most.
——She didn't know at this time that due to many factors, she had been teleported to a farther place.
Logically speaking, if the message is successfully delivered, Yan Luoyue and the other party will receive the reminder at the same time.
For example, the message stone that Yan Luoyue gave to Jiang Tingbai had a reminder tone set by her as "You have a new Pimo order, please check it in time."
But Yan Luoyue waited for a quarter of an hour but there was no sign that the communication was successful.
In order to confirm the current situation, Yan Luoyue sent several messages in succession, but none of them could be transmitted normally.
“…”
After realizing this, Yan Luoyue's expression gradually became solemn.
As far as she knew, there were generally only three situations in which the Communication Stone could not be used normally.
The first is that the communication stone is broken.
The second possibility is that the distance between the two people has exceeded the communication range of the communication stone.
The third reason is known to very few people. Yan Luoyue only knew it because he was an instrument refiner and was familiar with the steps and principles of refining the communication stone.
That is, there are some natural treasures with special auras nearby - for example, natural fire.
I don’t know what kind of situation she is in now?
When Yan Luoyue was concentrating on thinking, a demonic wind suddenly blew up in front of him!
The gust of wind carried with it a hot, fishy smell that was hard to ignore. It was so fast, and just as Luoyue was leaning against the stone wall and was distracted, time was unavoidable.
With a clang, a fishy wind blew towards Yan Luoyue's face, and the jade bracelet on her wrist broke into two pieces.
As for Luoyue, he took advantage of the opportunity when the attack was blocked, slipped out from under the opponent's armpit, and ran to a place not far away where it was more convenient to move.
It was not until this moment that Yan Luoyue could clearly see the true form of this fishy wind.
This is just... a very strange looking thing.
It looked a bit like a lynx, but its body was not covered with fur, but with scales that looked like blood scabs. Its claws were not like the pads of cats, but were like chicken claws, rugged and sharp.
The color of this alien beast is very bright, and its scales rise and fall with its breathing. It is a wriggling blood red color that makes people subconsciously feel disgusted.
Realizing the threat posed by this strange beast, Yan Luoyue's expression became serious, and half of his palm silently sank into the storage bag.
She began to review what she currently had available.
In addition to some common talismans and magical instruments, Yan Luoyue also customized some self-protection items for himself.
The alien has a big nose, and its sense of smell should be more sensitive than other aliens. The special version of palm/heart thunder attack will probably have a miraculous effect.
However, the cave is narrow and air has difficulty circulating. Even if Yan Luoyue refines the matching gas mask, it will definitely cause some harm to his body.
Xiao Ming's reservoir has the property of reducing blood, so you can try using it.
In addition, she also has a newly refined magic weapon "The average assets of Ma and I are 100 billion"...
In just a moment, Yan Luoyue went through the above magical instruments in his mind.
At the same time, her hands were not idle either. When she pulled her hands out of the storage bag, they were already full of Fire Talismans and Thunder Talismans.
In the cave, the originally damp and smelly air seemed to become tense and anxious.
Just as Yan Luoyue and the alien beast were about to look at each other and the situation was about to explode, suddenly a third figure fell from the sky!
In the dim and depressing environment, this hero suddenly appeared, his whole body shining, like the brightest light bulb in the whole venue!
——Yes, that's right, this hero's skin is coated with a faint golden glow, which changes color depending on the angle of his movements. He is literally a shining light bulb.
The light of the lantern ball was too eye-catching. It was not until she landed on the back of the alien beast in the posture of a crouching tiger that Yan Luoyue could see clearly that this person was actually a fair-skinned girl.
The girl was wearing an extremely simple grey nun's robe, not a cassock. Her hair was tightly shaved and pointed upwards. It seemed like she hadn't had her hair shaved for several days. I wonder which nunnery she was from.
The young master's hands were wrapped in thick strips of cloth. Because there were so many layers of cloth wrapped around them, her hands looked like she was wearing a pair of boxing gloves.
She probably noticed someone in the cave the moment she fell.
That's why he rode on the alien beast's back, grabbed the fur on its neck, and forced the alien beast to leave in the opposite direction of Yan Luoyue.
A powerful enemy descended from the sky with golden light under his feet, making the alien beast furious.
It opened its bloody mouth and roared wildly. After swinging back and forth twice, it actually stood up and wanted to throw the young master off its back.
This 90-degree inversion in the air was really unexpected.
The young master was jolted violently on the back of the alien beast, and his riding position instantly slid from the front of its neck to the back of its waist.
But in a flash, the girl realized that the situation had changed.
She locked her legs tightly around the lynx's belly, and suddenly increased the strength of her right hand, which was holding the alien beast's loose neck skin.
However, the "boxing gloves" were too thick and difficult to grip. The young master and the lynx monster noticed this at the same time.
The next moment, the lynx beast swung down violently, saving most of its neck fur.
Without hesitation, the young master kicked the lynx's leg hard, and used the reaction force to bounce up.
She clenched her fists, pushed her right foot against the rock wall behind her to gain leverage, and pounced down at the monster from above again!
If these two flying kicks were the turning point that determined the battle, then what happened next was the fundamental reason why the young master had the upper hand.
All I could hear was her chanting the Buddha's name in a solemn voice: "Buddha, have mercy on me."
The girl's voice has been refined by Buddhism and has a calm and mellow tone.
But this sentence was not finished.
The next words to this Buddhist verse are… huh? Why are they “your mother”?
Yan Luoyue wanted to clean her ears right on the spot, wondering if she had heard it wrongly.
In addition to this Buddhist chant, what also echoed throughout the cave was the high-intensity output of the young master, who punched no less than a dozen times per second.
She just switched her hands, shining with golden light, like a volley of bullets fired at high speed from a machine gun, and with the high-intensity and intensive sound effects of "thump thump thump thump", she hammered the lynx's head madly!
In the blink of an eye, the scene that appeared before Yan Luoyue was truly magical!
She was so shocked that she couldn't even utter a word. She could only focus on the extremely dynamic sound effects and the transcendental scene.
“Tick, tick, tick, tick—”
This is the sound of the little nun's diamond fist hammering down.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
This is the cry of a lynx beast when it is in pain.
"May Buddha have mercy on your mother, may Buddha have mercy on your mother..."
This is the Buddhist name that the little nun shouted while she was angry and attacking.
Yan Luoyue: “…”
To be honest, this scene really made Yan Luoyuesheng feel dazed.
At one point, she even had the illusion that she was watching "Namo Ghat/Lin Bodhisattva, Resting for 3,600 Turns"...
Hey, wait!
This little master who speaks so beautifully seems to have been with Yan Luoyue before!
She is the one... the young master Jingxuan who was mentioned in the sect notice of Shuilian Temple at the Talent Gathering not long ago, the one who was able to train three flower thieves!
....
