Chapter 739: Myriad Divine Iron
Wanxiang Pavilion is not well-known in Xiangfan City.
The so-called Wanxiang Pavilion is just a shop selling cloaks, veils, masks and other covering items.
However, what others don’t know is that this Wanxiang Pavilion is the real location of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce in Xiangfan City, and it is the location controlled by the Xie family!
Entering Wanxiang Pavilion, Xiao Mian had a smooth journey with the jade token given by Xie Ying, and successfully met the Yuan Ying ancestor of the Xie family who was stationed in Xiangfan City.
The ancestor of Yuanying was named Xie Mingshi, and he was Xie Ying's second uncle.
"Eh? Are you Xiao Mian?"
Xie Shi seemed a little surprised when he saw Xiao Mian, but he quickly calmed down.
"Hmph! Is it you, kid, who was teasing that girl Shui Qianyue at Hongyun Building last night? Shopkeeper Tong came to me to complain to me overnight, saying frankly that Xie Jiayu was entrusted by an evil person! I originally planned to go to Hongyun Building to meet you today. I didn’t expect that your boy was smart enough to take the initiative to ask for forgiveness.” Staring at Xiao Mian closely, feeling the pressure of his spiritual consciousness, Xie Shi asked calmly: “I should have thanked my nephew. Why did the Xie Jiayu Order in Ying's hand get into your hands? You should explain it to me!"
"Thank you, senior, for being in front of me. You should tell me everything you know!"
Briefly describing his relationship with Xie Ying, Xiao Mian only said that Xie Ying took the initiative to give the Xie Jiayu Order to him, but did not explain the whole story.
Even so, Xiao Mian was sure that Xie Shi would not attack.
Because if nothing unexpected happened, Xie Ying should have reported this matter long ago!
Otherwise, how could the so-called shopkeeper Tong be so easy to talk to at Hongyun Tower last night?
"What leverage did you have to hold Ying'er? He defended you with all his strength?"
Sure enough, Xie Shi put away the pressure of his spiritual consciousness and asked rather displeasedly.
Xiao Mian just smiled and said nothing, thinking: That's not true!
The most valuable treasure of the Xie family and even the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is probably the heart of ghosts and gods hidden in him. Although Xiao Mian still doesn't know why Xie Ying handed that hot potato into his hands, but that thing is definitely There is no room for error!
Since you want something from Xiao Mian, you have to get used to Xiao Mian.
On the other hand, Xiao Mian was a little arrogant because of this.
If you don't take advantage of the other party's request for help from you, it will be extremely difficult to seize food from the fox from Fatty Xie in the future when everything is settled...
Of course, these are not enough to explain to outsiders, not even Xie Shi.
But as long as Xie Ying can persuade Xie Shi to believe in him and help him, Xiao Mian doesn't care about this!
To get straight to the point, Xiao Mian proposed to buy a batch of noodles.
Although he was a little confused about Xiao Mian's intentions, Xie Shi couldn't push it when business came to him, so he had to be patient and help Xiao Mian select a batch of good masks.
Because of Xie Ying's repeated pleas, Xie Shi could not deliberately ignore Xiao Mian. Otherwise, with his status, why would he be needed to personally solicit business?
But soon, Xie Shi took a new look at Xiao Mian.
Whenever he saw something he liked, Xiao Mian would just buy it without even asking the price.
This is not one or two pieces, but nearly ten!
Finally, Xie Shi deliberately tested it and brought Xiao Mian to a magic mask.
It should be noted that even Xiao Mian's human skin mask is only at the magic weapon level, so it cannot block the monk's spiritual consciousness detection. Once it reaches the magic weapon level, this kind of mask will have a certain function of resisting spiritual consciousness detection. , and therefore, his net worth is a hundred times greater.
This is the magic mask.
Although Xie Ying made it clear that this mask could only withstand the detection of spiritual consciousness equivalent to that of ordinary Yuanying first-level ancestors, and not higher, it was still priceless.
"How many spirit stones!"
“It’s a true price—one million souls!”
"wanted!"
"...One million souls can buy a good-quality mid-level magic weapon. Are you sure you want to buy such a shabby mask?"
"Here are a million spirits!"
Without looking at Xie Shi, Xiao Mian threw him a storage bag.
Xie Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't ask Xiao Mian to buy this mask, and the market price of this mask was only around 500,000 souls. He didn't expect Xiao Mian to be so generous, but he couldn't take back his words - —It’s hard to say that you raise the price, right?
How could Xiao Mian not know that the price of this mask was exaggerated?
But in his eyes, this mask is much rarer than ordinary mid-level magic weapons.
Although there had been a series of fierce battles before, Xiao Mianshao had collected tens of millions of souls from Jin Weineng, Gui Luosheng and others. If he didn't need them now, when would he wait?
Xiao Mian has no shortage of mid-level magic weapons and spiritual stones, so why not?
What's more, if Xie Shi thinks he can take advantage of Xiao Mian, that's only so far. Xiao Mian hasn't started to settle accounts with him yet...
Xiao Mian played with the face casually, with a nonchalant look on his face.
"I heard from Brother Xie that Senior Xie is the unique weapon refiner of the Xie family, and he is the most proficient in refining these items that hide appearance. Is that correct?"
"Did that kid even tell you this? It seems like your relationship is very good! Over the years, only the kid from Chi Lian's family can play with him..."
Xie Shi's so-called "boy from the Chi Lian family" was naturally Chi Lian Yun, but in the middle of his words, Xie Shi kept silent, obviously thinking of the rift between the two families.
"Senior, there is a piece of spiritual material here. I have searched all over the Dafang family, but no one can find it. I heard that senior has a lot of blogs and knowledge, and I would like senior to take a look at it. Is it okay?"
"Oh? Take it out and let me see! Although I dare not say that I know everything in the world, I have seen some high-level spiritual materials that you don't know..."
I don't know whether it is because of Xie Ying's relationship or because Xiao Mian spent one million middle spirits to buy the mask, Xie Shi's attitude softened a lot.
Without saying a word, Xiao Mian took out a piece of metal.
Xie Shi reached out to take it. He was a little disapproving at first, thinking that this person might have some spiritual stones, but his vision was a mess. What kind of heavenly materials and treasures could he take out?
But then, Xie Shi's eyes suddenly condensed.
Staring at the fist-sized metal block in his hand, Xie Shi's expression became more and more solemn. In the end, two bright lights were projected from his eyes, illuminating the iron block.
Obviously, this is a pupil technique that can see through the inside of an object!
After a long time, Xie Shi closed his eyes.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Xie Shi stared at Xiao Mian.
"Where did this thing come from?"
"Excuse me, what is this, senior?"
"This..."
"I am a junior with a shallow cultivation and little knowledge, so it is not surprising that I don't know this thing! But I think that as a senior Yuanying ancestor, you must know it, right? Senior, for the sake of Brother Xie, please teach me!"
"I...I...Can I say I don't know it?"
"What!? How is this possible!?"
Xiao Mian was shocked, and Xie Shi was aggrieved.
If Xie Ying was here, he would have felt that Xiao Mian was setting a trap before Xiao Mian took out the piece of metal. However, although Xie Shi is a Yuanying ancestor, he is obsessed with refining masks. How can he be Xiao Mian's opponent in terms of cunning?
"It's strange! This thing has both the hardness of 'hundred-refined steel' and the flexibility of 'exquisite gold thread', which is both hard and soft, but I really don't know this thing!"
Xie Shi's face was frank, which made Xiao Mian respect and admire him.
The so-called hundred-refined steel was the material that Chi Lianyun used to refine the iron mask. It was made of steel essence after a hundred refinements, and it was so dense that it could block the divine consciousness.
Exquisite gold thread was the top-grade fusion agent that Xiao Mian got from the Five Elements Sect. It was very soft in nature and could be integrated with almost all metal spiritual materials.
When Chi Lianyun's iron mask was cut into two halves by Jin Bakong that day, Xiao Mian kept a careful eye and put the two pieces of debris in his arms.
Although Chi Lianyun kindly reminded him that the hundred-refined steel that had been refined once was no longer suitable for reuse, Xiao Mian was unmoved - he had a trick!
Back then, Guitou was able to refine spiritual materials up to the seventh level from the three-legged cauldron that was about to decay. Now that Guitou's cultivation has increased dramatically, his strength must be even stronger!
Sure enough, during the forty-nine days of raising the piranha, Guitou helped Xiao Mian refine a complete piece of refined steel. After that, under Guitou's guidance, Xiao Mian coerced and bribed Heibu to merge a ball of exquisite gold silk with the refined steel refined by Guitou, and then he created this magical iron block that even Xie Shi didn't recognize.
Strictly speaking, this thing is not something that grows naturally in the cultivation world!
"Let's call this thing-Wanxiang Shentie!"
"Wanxiang Shentie?"
"Just like the predecessor said, this thing is both hard and soft, easy to shape, and according to my estimation, as long as it is engraved with a magic array such as a magic array, it may be able to change its appearance!"
"This..., put the magic array into the mask?"
"What? Is it not feasible?"
Seeing Xie Shi's face full of astonishment, Xiao Mian was also stunned.
After all, he was not a professional weapon refiner, and he didn't even know how to refine weapons. He thought he had said something wrong!
Xie Shi was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"For a mask master like me, when refining a mask, the first element is to shield the divine consciousness, the second element is to have no flaws, and the third element is appropriate defense! Put it into an illusion array? No one would put an illusion array into a mask, at least not before!"
"Is it not possible?"
"No! It's not that it's not possible! It's just that no one has ever thought of it! Another reason is that even if ordinary metal spiritual materials are blessed with an illusion array, they will be extremely stiff when changing, which will cause complications. But if it is this piece of Wanxiang Shenti..."
"How?"
"Huh..., I am sure I can refine it into a peerless treasure!"
"Is that so..."
Xiao Mian casually reached out to take back the Wanxiang Shenti and put it into his white jade flying pendant.
Seeing this, Xie Shi was stunned.
"You... aren't you going to make a mask?"
"No! Who told you I was going to make a mask?"
"Then you... what are you going to do with that piece of Wanxiang Shentie?"
"I don't know that thing! I just want the senior to help me take a look, that's all!"
"That thing - Wanxiang Shentie! It is extremely suitable for making a mask, and I can guarantee that if nothing goes wrong, it will definitely be a rare treasure!"
"So what?"
"You..., I..." After blowing his beard and glaring, Xie Shi finally couldn't stand Xiao Mian and the temptation of Wanxiang Shentie. He threw away the dignity of the Yuanying Patriarch and begged Xiao Mian: "How about, let me make Wanxiang Shentie for you!"
"This..., isn't it too bad?"
"Boy, don't you know? I am the most authoritative mask master in the entire Xiangfan City - no! The entire Chu County. Usually, I start with 100,000 middle spirits!"
"So expensive!? Let's not do it!"
“…, look! You and Ying’er are close friends, and Ying’er and I are uncle and nephew, so we are all like brothers. How about I refine it for you for free?” Seeing Xiao Mian’s hesitation, Xie Shi looked at the Wanxiang Divine Iron and gritted his teeth: “How about this! During the refining process, all other expenses will be paid by me, and you don’t have to spend a penny!”
“That’s…, forget it! For the sake of Brother Xie, I will agree to your conditions!” Before Xie Shi was happy, Xiao Mian took out the Wanxiang Divine Iron and shook it, and then smiled indifferently: “First, the villain, then the gentleman, let’s sign a contract!”
