Chapter 581: Processing Spiritual Materials, Arranging Banquets (Subscription Required)
In the room, the soundproof anti-peep circle was turned on, and Tang Jingquan, Pi Baibai, and Wu Tao were sitting around the tea table.
When Wu Tao heard Tang Jingquan speak, he was discussing Fang Zhengqing, and Pi Baibai nodded in agreement with Tang Jingquan's remarks.
Just now, he was saying outside that he couldn't talk about his true brother at will. As soon as he closed the door, the discussion started.
However, there is one thing. Just now, there were Wan Guidao and Wuzong of the Seven Star Immortal Sect outside.
Although Tang Jingquan and Pi Baibai claimed that the Seven Stars Immortal Sect and the Xingchen Immortal Palace were from the same sect, the lower sect was still the lower sect. Subconsciously, they still did not regard them as the same sect.
Wu Tao can also understand this sense of belonging and identity.
However, the fact that the two of them could discuss Fang Zhengqing candidly in front of him showed that they had regarded him as a friend. I also believe in his character and will not betray it.
Thinking about it carefully, the three of them may have known each other for many years, even though they were only in the secret realm of inner demons.
Coupled with the words of Tang Jingquan and Pi Baibai, Wu Tao recalled that his brief contact with Fang Zhengqing just now really gave people a feeling of spring breeze, as if he was very easy to talk to and easy to get along with.
But Wu Tao doesn't look at the surface when it comes to life and work. It takes time to see a person clearly.
So he didn't join the discussion.
"Fellow Taoist Tang, let me do it!" Wu Tao took over Tang Jingquan's task of making tea and took over from him to boil water and make tea.
When Tang Jingquan saw this, he handed it over to Wu Tao.
When Tang Jingquan saw Wu Tao making tea seriously, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, what do you think of Senior Brother Fang?"
When Wu Tao heard this, he did not stop making tea. Instead, he put in the spirit tea and waited for him to taste it. He looked at Tang Jingquan and replied: "Fellow Taoist Tang and Taoist Pi, you also know that I am a casual cultivator. I am a guest guest." It’s only been a few years since I joined the Artifact Refining Hall, so I don’t know about Senior Brother Fang… But when I saw him today, Senior Brother Fang seemed very kind!”
After listening to Wu Tao's story, Tang Jingquan said: "Fellow Daoist Li, this is quite pertinent. However, I still have to remind Daoist Li here not to get too close to Senior Brother Fang."
Hearing Tang Jingquan's words, Wu Tao was slightly shocked, but he didn't show it on his face and asked: "Oh, why are you asking Fellow Taoist Tang to teach me?"
At this point, the tea had changed color and the aroma of tea filled the air. He took out the tea cup and poured a cup of tea for Tang Jingquan and Pi Baibai.
Tang Jingquan did not answer Wu Tao's question, but shook his head and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, as for why, I can't say it. Anyway, Friend Daoist Li just remember this!"
"It seems that there are secrets that I don't know about, and Tang Jingquan should know about it. However, if the other party can give me some hints, it also shows that the other party is generous enough and I should be grateful!" Thinking of this, Wu Tao raised his hand to Tang Jingquan and said: "Thank you Taoist friend Tang for the tips, Li Someone remembers it!"
Seeing his serious expression, Tang Jingquan obviously heard what he said, so he smiled softly and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, you don't need to be too careful or deliberately avoid Brother Fang, you just need to do your own thing well.
Wu Tao nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist Tang is absolutely right. After all, Senior Brother Fang is the manager of the border island and has the most power and prestige. All you need to do is follow Brother Fang's instructions!"
Pi Baibai said at this time: "Senior Brother Tang, should we ask Senior Brother Fang to resign early tomorrow morning? After all, the sect still has a mission and cannot delay it."
Tang Jingquan took a sip of herbal tea, looked at Pi Baibai and said: "Since Senior Brother Fang said that he would take care of us tomorrow, let's delay it for another day. After all, Senior Brother Zhenzhuan's face cannot be easily wiped out. We cannot show that we are doing this. Junior brother doesn’t know etiquette.”
Hearing this, Pi Baibai could only nod his head and said, "Senior Brother Tang, that's what you said."
After finishing speaking, Pi Baibai looked at Wu Tao and said: "Senior Brother Tang, why don't we ask fellow Daoist Li to help us process the monster skins we shot on the uninhabited island before, so as not to keep them for a long time and miss the best processing time. "
Upon hearing this, Wu Tao immediately smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Tang, please give me the monster skin. When the time comes, when you guys set off, I will hand over the processed monster skin to you."
Pi Baibai saw that Wu Tao readily agreed, and Tang Jingquan also nodded. The two of them immediately took out the skins of the four monster beasts and handed them to Wu Tao's hands.
Wu Tao put it into his storage bag.
Tang Jingquan said: "It's already dark, and I've been traveling for a month. Fellow Daoist Li, please go back to your temporary residence and rest first."
Wu Tao actually had this intention. When he heard the words, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands to the two of them and said, "In that case, Friends Taoist Tang and Taoist Pi, see you tomorrow!"
After that, Wu Tao left the room and went to his assigned temporary residence.
The temporary accommodation arranged here has all rooms and a training room. Wu Tao went directly to the training room.
The training room is not very big, but there is also a spirit-gathering array. Under the spirit-gathering array, there is also a branch line of the third-level advanced spiritual veins, which is enough for golden elixir cultivators to practice.
After a brief visual inspection, Wu Tao took out the futon, placed it in the spirit gathering array, and then sat down cross-legged.
He said that running around for a month was very tiring, but in fact, he was a golden elixir cultivator. He traveled a lot this month to repair himself, and he prostituted a lot of golden elixirs for free, but he didn't feel any tired at all.
On the contrary, Tang Jingquan and Pi Baibai experienced a life-and-death battle, which greatly consumed their energy.
"Fellow Daoist Tang and Fellow Daoist Pi will leave the border island tomorrow after the welcome ceremony. I will help them deal with the monster skin after practicing the Nine-Stars Fusion Yang Qigong and the Zhoutian Xingchen Body Refining Qigong tonight." Thinking of this, Wu Tao immediately adjusted his state and began to take out the golden elixir and spiritual fire and water to practice the Nine-Stars Fusion Yang Qigong.
This month, because he had to hurry on the road, he wasted a lot of time practicing, and could not practice the Nine-Stars Fusion Yang Qigong and the Zhoutian Xingchen Body Refining Qigong every day.
After arriving at the border island, he needs to stay here for ten or eight years, so Wu Tao must make good use of these ten or eight years and cannot waste the years of practice.
Even if he is a Jindan Zhenren with a lifespan of 800 years, he cannot waste his time like this.
For immortal cultivators, the most important thing in cultivating immortals is to prolong their lifespan, so immortal cultivators regard lifespan as more important than mortals.
Mortals are miserable, being reasonably and legally exploited by the ruling class, and cannot see the hope of promotion. Many people hope to live shorter.
Time passed slowly.
Because of the soundproof and anti-peeping magic circle, Wu Tao would not hear the sound outside.
At a certain moment, Wu Tao opened his eyes and stopped practicing the Zhoutian Xingchen Body Refining Technique. A piece of star stone in front of him was also refined into impurities and ash, and then cleaned into a special storage bag.
Go out to hide your identity as a physical cultivator, and the star lime ash after practicing the Zhoutian Xingchen Body Refining Technique must be cleaned up without leaving any traces.
Only in this way can he live up to Wang Jing's expectations of him and give him the Nine Refinings of the Golden Core and so many resources.
Even if it's not for Wang Jing, he has to be so careful and serious for himself.
"Now it's the third level of the real body. After breaking through to the fourth level, the star stone that Senior Wang took will be exhausted. If you want to continue practicing, you have to earn physical cultivation resources yourself."
Thinking of this, Wu Tao's eyes moved slightly, but he soon stopped thinking about it. It's still too early to practice to the fourth level of the real body.
"Now hurry up and help fellow Daoist Tang and fellow Daoist Pi to process the monster skins."
Thinking of this, Wu Tao's mind moved, and four monster skins flew out of the storage bag and floated in front of him. These four skins were cut not long ago, and there were hair and blood on them.
If you want to refine the monster skins into robes, they must be processed. Only after being processed by the weapon refiner can the monster skins become the third-level spiritual materials for refining robes.
In addition, the monster skins must be processed as soon as possible after being cut from the monsters. If the best processing time is missed, the spiritual charm will be lost, and then it will be useless if it cannot be engraved.
Even if it is not useless for a while, the value will be greatly reduced if it is processed for a long time.
Originally, according to Tang Jingquan and Pi Baibai's plan, they would leave the border island early tomorrow morning, and after arriving at the next spiritual vein island, they would be able to find a weapon refiner to process it, but who would have thought that Fang Zhengqing would welcome them and wait for another day.
Therefore, he had to ask Wu Tao, a familiar weapon refiner, to deal with it.
Looking at the four monster skins full of blood in front of him, Wu Tao performed the Lingxu True Fire Art, condensed the true fire in his palm, and began to simply process the monster skins.
Time passed quickly, the sky was bright, and a red sun rose quietly on the sea surface east of the border island.
The true flame in Wu Tao's palm suddenly dissipated, and then with a thought, a processed monster skin suspended in front of him flew into his storage bag.
After an hour, Wu Tao finally processed the four monster skins. When the time comes, he can directly refine them into a third-level robe.
"Simply adjust your breath!"
Thinking of this, Wu Tao began to meditate and adjust his breath to restore the golden elixir mana he had just consumed.
After a while, Wu Tao finished adjusting his breath and felt that his condition had almost recovered, so he got up from the futon, came out of the practice hall and came to the courtyard.
As soon as he came out, Tang Jingquan and Pi Baibai also came out of the room a moment later. When they saw him, they greeted him.
"Fellow Daoist Tang, Fellow Daoist Pi, I have fulfilled my mission and have processed the monster skins. Two third-level intermediate monster skins, and two third-level low-level monster skins." Wu Tao's mind moved, and four streams of light flew out from his waist, floating in front of Tang Jingquan and Pi Baibai.
Tang Jingquan and Pi Baibai reached out to take the monster skins in front of them, touched them, and checked them. Tang Jingquan said with satisfaction: "Yes, Fellow Daoist Li is very good at handling spiritual materials. I believe that when Fellow Daoist Li returns to the Immortal Palace, he must have become a third-level intermediate weapon refiner."
"With Fellow Daoist Li's talent for refining weapons, he will definitely be promoted to a third-level intermediate weapon refiner soon. At that time, we will ask Fellow Daoist Li to help us refine a third-level intermediate real weapon." Pi Baibai also smiled at this time.
"Then I'll borrow your good words." Wu Tao said with a smile.
When he said this, Wangui Dao and Wu Zong also came out. When they saw Wu Tao and the other two, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.
After all, the three were senior brothers from the upper sect, and the two of them were from the lower sect, so they had to be thorough.
After the greetings, Yan's Jindan appeared on time.
"Five Taoist friends, Senior Brother Fang has prepared a welcoming banquet in Wenhe Hall. Please follow me." Yan's Jindan said to the five people.
Wu Tao, Tang Jingquan and others looked at each other, a little surprised, such an early welcoming banquet.
Yan's Jindan saw the five people looking at each other, and said with a smile: "Is it too early for the five Taoist friends? Senior Brother Fang is busy with affairs, so he held a banquet early. After welcoming the Taoist friends, there are still things to deal with."
"Senior Brother Fang's affairs are more important, and he even personally hosted a banquet to cleanse us of his troubles. We are really grateful and feel guilty." Tang Jingquan said with a moved and guilty face.
When Wu Tao saw this, he naturally looked moved and guilty.
The skin is white and Wan Guidao, Wu Zong also has a look of emotion and guilt on his face.
At this time, it is natural to be gregarious.
Jin Dan, surnamed Yan, said nonchalantly: "Fellow Taoists, come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and led the way, followed closely by Wu Tao and others.
Thinking that he would have to deal with interpersonal relationships well in order to work on the border islands in the future, Wu Tao bowed his hand to Yan Jindan and said, "I haven't asked my fellow Taoist for your name yet."
Hearing this, Jin Dan, whose surname was Yan, smiled at Wu Tao and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, my name is Yan Xin. Just call me Friend Daoist Yan."
"It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Yan Xin. Please take care of me in the future." Wu Tao said with cupped hands.
Yan Xin replied: "You Daoyou Li is a weapon refiner, and we are responsible for patrolling the border islands. When the real weapon is damaged, we will have to ask you Daoyou Li to help repair and refine it..."
After chatting like this, the atmosphere became much more pleasant.
Soon, they came to the Wen Temple that Yan Xin mentioned.
Entering the hall, sure enough, Fang Zhengqing was inside, as well as several other Jindan masters from the border islands whom he had never seen before on both sides.
"Five junior brothers, you are here, take your seats quickly!" Fang Zhengqing stood up and personally invited Wu Tao and the other five people to sit down at the table.
Finally, Fang Zhengqing looked at Wu Tao and introduced to him the Jindan master on his left: "Junior Brother Li, this is Junior Brother Wei Tianbao, a third-level intermediate weapon refiner, and there is a third-level senior weapon refiner, Zhao Daoyou. I was busy with important things and didn’t come over.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Tao immediately stood up and saluted Wei Tianbao: "Li Mo, meet Senior Brother Wei!"
Wei Tianbao is an old man who looks like a golden elixir master. He looks amiable. Seeing Wu Tao stand up and salute, he quickly stood up, took Wu Tao's arm and said, "Junior brother Li, you really surprised me. I didn't expect Li Junior brother is so young, I thought that a junior brother like me would come over from the weapon refining hall."
When Wu Tao heard this, he immediately said humbly: "Brother Wei is joking. Junior brother, I am older, but I just take good care of myself. And it is my honor to work with senior brother Wei on the border islands."
Fang Zhengqing looked at this scene with a smile on his face, and interrupted the two of them appropriately to continue talking: "Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Wei, please sit down first. When the time comes, Junior Brother Li will trouble Junior Brother Wei to make arrangements."
"Yes, Senior Brother Fang!" Wei Tianbao handed over to Fang Zhengqing.
Then, Fang Zhengqing made a brief introduction and began to host the reception banquet.
The banquet didn't last long and ended after just half an hour. Then Fang Zhengqing said he was going to get busy.
Wu Tao was taken by Wei Tianbao to the place where the weapon refiner worked on the border island.
