Chapter 610 High-Risk Refining Task (Subscription Request)

Wu Tao asked Wang Sheng to come here, naturally because of the Kong Qi incident.

He promised Kong Qi to give Kong Qi's storage bag to his son, but when he returned to the Immortal Palace and finished the most important things first, he didn't even have time to visit his friends. Naturally, he couldn't be the first to do so. It was time to hand over Kong Qi’s storage bag to Kong Qi’s son.

Now that Bixing Island was successfully upgraded, Wu Tao asked Wang Sheng to bring Kong Qi's son to Bixing Island.

"Wang Sheng, I called you here because I need you to run for me." Wu Tao said to Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng quickly bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Island Master, please give me your instructions!"

Wu Tao nodded and said: "Go to Yikong Island and invite Kong Xiangqing, the son of the island owner of Yikong Island."

Wang Sheng took the order and said: "Yes, the island master."

Afterwards, Wang Sheng turned around and left, heading to Yikong Island to handle the matters assigned to him by the island owner.

Wu Tao estimated that it would take about an hour after Wang Sheng returned from Yikong Island, so he returned to the training room, sat cross-legged on the futon in the training room, and his thoughts were spinning.

He was thinking about his development plan after being promoted to the third level intermediate weapon refiner.

Of course, the most important goal now is to break through the fourth level of Jindan.

In one year, he will definitely be able to break through the fourth level of the Golden Core.

"There is no need to plan the practice of Jiu Yao Fusion Yang Ji Zhen Gong and Zhoutian Xing Chen Body Refining Kung Fu. Daily practice must not be neglected. It is the foundation of practice."

"As for now, I want to buy the star stones myself to practice Zhou Tianxing Body Exercise. I only have more than 2,000 kilograms of star stones. When I use them up, I will go to the secret market to buy them."

There was also a secret market in the Immortal Palace, and Wu Tao went to it frequently. He felt that buying star stones in the secret market was safe and secure, and his identity should not be revealed.

He made so many purchases in Mississauga without revealing his identity.

He couldn't just buy the Star Stone once and reveal his identity. In that case, he would be too unlucky.

Wu Tao felt that he was just an ordinary golden elixir cultivator and could not be so unlucky. Moreover, with his cultivation level, no one in the Immortal Palace would specifically set their eyes on him.

"Now that I have been promoted to the third level intermediate weapon refiner, I am waiting for the Immortal Palace weapon refiner hall to assign me new tasks. The new tasks will definitely earn more merit."

"When the time comes, it will definitely satisfy my physical and legal cultivation at the same time."

As a noble weapon refiner, Wu Tao is still confident in the weapon refiner's ability to attract gold. If the weapon refiner cannot satisfy the requirements of practicing law and physical training at the same time, he will still be a useless weapon refiner.

It's better to be a spiritual husband.

"When you are promoted to the third-level intermediate weapon refining master, you can exchange it for the knowledge of the third-level advanced weapon refining method and start to understand it. But don't worry, I have just been promoted. Firstly, I don't have enough merit to redeem it. Secondly, wait a minute. Let’s talk about receiving the new mission from the Artifact Refining Hall. I hope the new mission will be a stable and safe one.”

"I don't want to think too much. Let's practice step by step first. We will wait until we break through the fourth level of the golden elixir."

Thinking of this, Wu Tao began to practice magic.

It's not yet night yet, so he usually chooses to practice the Zhoutianxingchen physical exercise at night.

Even though he was practicing with star stones instead of absorbing the radiance of stars in the sky, he was used to practicing the Zhoutian Star Body Exercise at night and felt that practicing at night would be faster.

He is practicing the Tianyan Divine Refining Manual.

An hour later.

Wu Tao stopped practicing the Tianyan Divine Refining Manual, released his spiritual thoughts, and saw Wang Sheng outside the Dongfu Palace. Next to him stood a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Xingchen Immortal Palace.

It is the disciple uniform of ordinary inner disciples.

"This is Kong Xiangqing, Kong Qi's son. He is a first-level Jindan practitioner. It seems that he has not inherited Kong Qi's talent as an array master. He is just an ordinary Jindan disciple."

Wu Tao's thoughts turned and he had already detected Kong Xiangqing's cultivation level.

Kong Qi was working in the Boundary Islands. Naturally, he was sent to work in the Boundary Islands because his formation skills and cultivation were not improving. They are very old at this age, so their descendants, especially the first generation, are basically one hundred or two hundred years old.

Kong Qi did mention that his son Kong Xiangqing was two hundred years old.

The two-hundred-year-old Jin Dan is at the first level, but his talent is ordinary.

Of course, it was ordinary for Wu Tao, but in front of the general public, the two-hundred-year-old Jin Dan was pretty good.

After all, from foundation building to golden elixir, I don’t know how many immortal cultivators have been stuck.

The descendants of many golden elixir cultivators may not reach the height of their fathers.

Thinking like this, Wu Tao opened his lips slightly, and his voice reached the ears of Wang Sheng and Kong Xiangqing outside the store.

"come in."

Hearing Wu Tao's voice, Wang Sheng and Kong Xiangqing both bowed their hands towards the main hall and then entered the main hall. Then he saw Wu Tao sitting at the head of the main hall.

"Island Master, Master Kong has arrived." Wang Sheng bowed to Wu Tao.

"Kong Xiangqing on Yikong Island, I have met Senior Brother Li." Kong Xiangqing bowed to Wu Tao.

Wu Tao stood up and asked Kong Xiangqing to sit on his left. After Wang Sheng went to serve the spiritual tea, he said: "Junior brother Kong, please come to Bixing Island this time. Your father asked me to bring you some." thing."

As he spoke, Wu Tao took out a storage bag and placed it on the table in front of Kong Xiangqing.

Kong Xiangqing naturally knew that Zhenren Li from the Weapon Refining Hall came back from the Border Islands, and his father also worked in the Border Islands, so it was normal for him to ask him to bring something back.

Seeing the storage bag in front of him, Kong Xiangqing picked it up, then bowed to Wu Tao and thanked him: "Thank you, Master Li. Master Li, does my father have anything else to say to me?"

"Don't be polite, Junior Brother Kong. I have known your father for many years. It's just a piece of cake to bring something."

"As for the message, your father didn't ask me to bring you anything, just asked me to give you this storage bag."

Wu Tao said this, and then talked to Kong Xiangqing for a while, and then Kong Xiangqing said goodbye and left.

In the following days, Wu Tao waited for Senior Brother Yu Zhixin of the Refining Hall to assign him a new task.

Taking advantage of the time before the task was assigned, he also started visiting friends.

First of all, he naturally had to visit Liu Yidao. In the Xingchen Fairy Palace, he and Liu Yidao had the best friendship.

Liu Yidao took him to the secret room, and then, when he went to the border islands, he gave him a third-level intermediate defense robe.

Wu Tao remembered all these things one by one.

Even though his current weapon refining level is the same as Liu Yidao's, in his heart, he still regards Liu Yidao as his senior brother.

Therefore, when he came to Liu Yidao's Jindan Island and saw Liu Yidao, Wu Tao still bowed to Liu Yidao and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Liu, long time no see, I miss you so much."

Liu Yidao looked at Wu Tao, whose face did not change at all, and then looked at the brand new third-level intermediate weapon refiner uniform robe he was wearing, and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Li, on your promotion to a third-level intermediate weapon refiner. From now on, you and I are both third-level intermediate weapon refiners, but you must not call me senior brother, just call me fellow Taoist."

This is the rule of the Immortal Palace Weapon Refining Hall, and you must not take the lead in breaking the rules.

Wu Tao said solemnly: "I will never forget the help that Senior Brother Liu gave me."

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Fellow Daoist Li, follow me to the tea room. I'll ask Senior Brother Yu for some good spiritual tea."

Liu Yidao took Wu Tao into the tea room. The two had not seen each other for a long time and began to reminisce while drinking tea.

Liu Yidao told him about the things in Xingchen Fairy Palace over the years, especially the things on the Demon Island, and Wu Tao also told Liu Yidao about the border islands.

Chatting to the end.

Liu Yidao asked Wu Tao: "Fellow Daoist Li, has Senior Brother Yu assigned you a new task?"

Wu Tao returned to the Fairy Palace from the Border Islands. He was no longer a third-level low-level weapon refiner. The previous tasks of the Demon Island in the Fairy Palace Refining Hall and the tasks of the lecturer in the Refining School were no longer suitable for Wu Tao. It was a waste of talent.

Wu Tao heard this and shook his head and said: "I haven't received any new tasks yet."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Yu will not forget Fellow Daoist Li." Liu Yidao smiled.

After staying with Liu Yidao for an hour, Wu Tao said goodbye and left.

Now he has returned to the Immortal Palace, and there will be plenty of opportunities to meet Liu Yidao in the future, so there is no need to rush now.

On the way back to Bixing Island, Wu Tao sent a message to Qian Chang and Wei Zhou, saying that he would visit them on their Jindan Island.

Just after putting away the message token for more than a dozen breaths, the message token moved, and Wu Tao read it with his mind.

It was Qian Chang's message, saying that he and Wei Zhou were just passing by Bixing Island, so they came to his Bixing Island to sit and chat.

This was just right, so Wu Tao agreed, and then drove the Jiyun Boat at full speed to return to Bixing Island, waiting for Qian Chang and Wei Zhou to arrive.

The Jiyun Boat stopped outside Bixing Island. After a while, Wu Tao saw two streams of light flying towards this side. When they flew closer, he saw Qian Chang and Wei Zhou in the stream of light. The two had not changed much over the years.

As a Jindan cultivator, generally, no changes can be seen until the end of their life.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, Fellow Daoist Wei, long time no see." Wu Tao saw Qian Chang and Wei Zhou stop and walk over, and immediately bowed to them.

Qian Chang and Wei Zhou looked at Wu Tao, and saw the uniform robe of the third-level intermediate refiner on Wu Tao. They were envious, thinking that the three of them entered the Xingchen Fairy Palace Refining Hall at the same time. Now, this good friend has left them far behind, got rid of his guest status, and became a third-level intermediate refiner.

Although he had left them far behind before, they were still the same third-level low-level refiners, and the gap was not too big.

Now, the two of them have a vague feeling that the gap between them and this fellow Daoist will become larger and larger in the future.

Abandoning the distracting thoughts in his heart, Qian Chang bowed and said: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Li on his promotion to a third-level intermediate refiner."

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Li on his promotion to a third-level intermediate refiner." Seeing Qian Chang bowed and congratulated, Wei Zhou also hurriedly congratulated.

"Please come in, fellow Taoists." Wu Tao showed a warm smile on his face and invited Qian Chang and Wei Zhou to Bixing Island.

Qian Chang and Wei Zhou both said that they dared not call them fellow Taoists in the future, and they had to call them junior brothers. After all, the three of them were weapon refiners in the weapon refinery hall, and the rules could not be broken.

Seeing this, Wu Tao also went down the stairs. The reason why he called the two fellow Taoists was because of their past friendship.

If the two really took it for granted and asked him to call them fellow Taoists, the other weapon refiners in the weapon refinery hall would only think that Qian Chang and Wei Zhou were rude and did not know how to behave.

But Qian Chang and Wei Zhou were low-level third-level weapon refiners and Jindan cultivators. They had hundreds of years of life experience, so they naturally knew this little bit of human relations.

The three sat down in the tea room.

Qian Chang and Wei Zhou asked Wu Tao about the border islands, and Wu Tao also told them in detail.

I don't know what topic they were talking about, but Qian Chang suddenly said, "Brother Li, your Bixing Island has been upgraded to a second-level island, right?"

Wu Tao nodded and said, "Yes, it was just promoted to a second-level island some time ago."

Wei Zhou said: "No wonder as soon as I entered Senior Brother Li's Bixing Island, I felt comfortable all over and my cultivation level improved a lot."

Qian Chang said: "Senior Brother Li, the three of you and I who entered the Immortal Palace Artifact Refining Hall together are all from casual cultivators. Now, Senior Brother Li, you have given us a fight. Senior Brother Li, I have saved a little over the years." I can borrow some merit from Senior Brother Li.”

Wu Tao was confused when he heard Qian Chang's words, and Wei Zhou also looked puzzled. He didn't know why Qian Chang said that he wanted to lend Wu Tao his merits for no reason.

Besides, Senior Brother Li Mo is now a third-level intermediate weapon refiner. Are you afraid that you won't be able to earn merit? !

"Fellow Daoist Qian, what are you doing?" Wu Tao asked directly, there was no need to beat around the bush.

Qian Chang said: "Senior Brother Li's island protection formation is still the previous second-level advanced formation, and those third-level intermediate weapon refiners who came from the weapon refining hall, their golden elixir islands are all third-level formations. Li Although our senior brother is a casual cultivator, he is still a third-level intermediate weapon refiner, no different from them. Naturally, the island-protecting formation must be upgraded to a third-level island-protecting formation to be worthy of Senior Brother Li's status."

After listening to Qian Chang's explanation, Wei Zhou also said quickly: "That's right! Fellow Taoist Qian is very thoughtful. If Senior Brother Li needs any merit, just call me."

Wu Tao also understood what Qian Chang was thinking. A trace of warmth flashed in his heart and he said: "Thank you two Taoists for your kindness. I was also thinking of changing the island protection formation to a third-level formation, but... Not now, but after taking on a new mission and accumulating enough merit.”

Although Wu Tao said so, Qian Chang and Wei Zhou each lent him some meritorious deeds. He knew that it was not appropriate to refuse at this time, so he also put them away.

In the end, Wu Tao could only say that in the future, if the two of them want to refine a third-level intermediate weapon, they can ask him to practice calligraphy for free.

Of course, third-level spiritual materials still require two people to produce them, but refining them is free.

Wu Tao chatted with Qian Chang and Wei Zhou in the tea room for more than two hours this time, and then waited for Qian Chang and Wei Zhou to leave on their own initiative.

The reason why we chatted for so long was to take care of the feelings of Qian Chang and Wei Zhou, so that they would not feel alienated from them because of their promotion to the third-level intermediate weapon refiner and their higher status.

After sending Qian Chang and Wei Zhou out of Bixing Island in person, Wu Tao returned to the Dongfu Palace, thinking: "The visit to friends has come to an end, and then we can practice peacefully, and then wait for Senior Brother Yu to send new tasks."

It didn't take long to wait for Yu Zhixin to assign a new task. Only three days later, Wu Tao received a summons from Yu Zhixin asking him to go to his office.

Wu Tao immediately went to Yu Zhixin's office and met with Yu Zhixin.

"Senior Brother Yu, do you have a mission?" Wu Tao asked Yu Zhixin, handing over his hand.

Yu Zhixin nodded and said, "There is exactly a task that needs to be given to Junior Brother Li."

"Oh, Senior Brother Yu, what exactly is the mission?" Wu Tao asked.

Yu Zhixin picked up a task document for the Weapon Refining Hall on the table. He handed it to Wu Tao and said, "Take a look."

Wu Tao took the task document and opened it. After reading it, he realized that this was a refining task for him to refine a one-time third-level intermediate real weapon.

This one-time third-level intermediate artifact is called Xuanyang Pearl.

As for the lethality, Wu Tao didn't know yet. He just felt that the merit reward for this mission was surprisingly high. However, considering that Senior Brother Yu Zhixin always took good care of him, it was very possible to assign him a mission with high merit.

Seeing that he had finished reading the mission document, Yu Zhixin said: "This one-time refining of the third-level intermediate real weapon Xuanyang Pearl is to be provided to the boundary wall battlefield. The Xuanyang energy in the Xuanyang Pearl is specially used to restrain the demon world. The demonic energy of the demons.”

Wu Tao nodded: "That's it."

He also understood at this time that the Xuanyang Pearl was a strategic material. No wonder the merits were so impressive.

Yu Zhixin walked from behind the desk to the front and said, "Junior brother Li, come with me. I will take you to the refining hall where Xuanyang Pearl is refined."

Wu Tao nodded slightly, then followed Yu Zhixin out of the office, walked on the corridor of the Weapon Refining Hall, walked directly out of the Weapon Refining Hall, and finally stopped in a remote hall.

"Is the place where Xuanyang Pearl is made so remote?" Wu Tao was surprised, but he didn't ask.

Just as Yu Zhixin was about to reach out and push open the palace door, suddenly, there was a loud bang inside, the entire hall shook, and the aftermath of the terrifying aura spread out, impacting towards Yu Zhixin and Wu Tao.

Yu Zhixin's golden elixir in his Dantian moved with magic power to withstand the aftermath of the explosion. Wu Tao behind him also immediately activated the third-level advanced defense robe on his body to withstand the aftermath of the explosion.

"Senior Brother Yu, what is this?" After the aftermath of the explosion subsided, Wu Tao asked Yu Zhixin, who had already put away the mana mask.

There was some drumming in his heart, why did refining the Xuanyang Pearl feel a bit dangerous.

When Yu Zhixin turned around and saw Wu Tao, his expression was a little unnatural, but he dissipated in an instant. He smiled and said: "The Xuanyang energy in a one-time real artifact like the Xuanyang Pearl is very strong, and the real prohibition in it also has It has explosive properties, but as long as the correct refining process is followed, it will not explode. "

"This time it must have been an accident. However, even if it explodes, our weapon refiners are still wearing defensive robes, so no one will be hurt."

"So that's the case, then Junior Brother is relieved." Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. No wonder, with so many meritorious rewards in the mission document, it turns out there is still such a risk.

He originally thought that the Xuanyang Pearl provided to the Boundary Wall battlefield was a strategic material, so he had so many merits.

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. This nature must not be forgotten in the future." Wu Tao warned himself in his heart.

"Let's go, Junior Brother Li, I'll take you in to see their refining process and you'll know that the explosion just now will not hurt anyone at all." Yu Zhixin said as he was about to push open the door of the hall, but the door opened one step ahead of him.

I saw a refiner wearing a third-level intermediate refiner uniform robe, helping a bloody refiner out, with a weak breath and blood all over his face. The defensive robes he was wearing were broken into pieces and hung on his body. The logo of the third-level intermediate refiner uniform robe on his chest could be vaguely seen.

"Brother Yu is here. Let's not talk about it for now. Just now, Brother Gu was not paying attention during the refining process, and the Xuanyang Pearl exploded, seriously injuring him. I am now sending Brother Gu to the Alchemy Hall to find an alchemist to make an elixir for treatment." After the third-level intermediate refiner finished speaking, he quickly helped the seriously injured third-level intermediate refiner to leave.

Yu Zhixin turned his head and looked at Wu Tao, who was stunned, and explained: "See, this Junior Brother Gu did not follow the correct refining steps, which led to the accident."

"However, this accident happened for the best, because it can let Junior Brother Li understand that refining the Xuanyang Pearl must be standardized and follow the refining steps correctly."

"Let's go, Junior Brother Li, I'll take you to see the person in charge here."

"Junior Brother Li..."

Looking at Wu Tao, who was still standing at the door of the hall and turned his head to look in the direction where the seriously injured Junior Brother Gu left, he raised his decibel and shouted.

...
