"Third Cave Master, can I ask, disciple, how long do you need to be in seclusion this time?" Yuan Ming heard this and said hesitantly.

"It can take a few weeks or a few months. Do you have other things to do?" The third cave master frowned slightly, seeming a little displeased.

"It's like this. This disciple plans to participate in the Bailuqiu Alliance in half a year. During this period, he still needs to make some preparations, so he may not be able to take care of Huo Greedy'er for a long time." Yuan Ming hesitated and explained.

"You want to join the Bailuqiu Guild? If I remember correctly, it didn't take long for me to get you started, right?" The third cave master said in surprise, obviously a little surprised.

"Yes, the kindness of the Third Cave Master will never be forgotten by this disciple." Yuan Ming said, cupping his fists.

"Every time there are casualties in the alliance, you finally got rid of your identity as a beast slave. You can practice with peace of mind and don't take risks." The third cave master advised.

"This opportunity is rare, and I am willing to take the risk. I saw a truth in the book, seedlings in the greenhouse will not grow big." Yuan Ming insisted.

"That's all, if you think about it, I will report your name." The third cave master said.

"Thank you. During the next period of time, I will take good care of Huo Chan'er. Please rest assured, Master Three." Yuan Ming said.

"This disciple has another unkind request, please don't blame the third cave master." Yuan Ming continued.

The third cave master said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Disciple does not need any other reward this time. I just want to ask the third cave master for advice on how to advance the herring sword to the level of a real magical weapon?" Yuan Ming felt a little relieved and asked,

"Are you trying to prepare for participating in White Deer Qiu?" The third cave master could guess Yuan Ming's thoughts at a glance.

"Yes, I can't hide anything from you. This sword is always with me, and I have fought against enemies together with me several times. I have always wanted to refine it into a magical weapon that can accompany me. However, I consulted Senior Brother Amuhe before and learned from his words I learned that the Herring Sword is different from ordinary semi-magical weapons. Its internal spiritual power is extremely condensed, and there is no way to re-forge it and upgrade the magical weapon." Yuan Ming said.

After hearing this, the Third Cave Master nodded in agreement.

"Amuhe is right. When I was refining the herring sword, I was too ambitious. I spent all my efforts to collect several high-quality spiritual materials. I wanted to refining a top-grade magical weapon, but it was a pity that it was not enough. The last spiritual material, the Millennium Cold Crystal, was never found. I was eager for success, so I refined this semi-magical herring sword in advance." The third cave master said with some regret.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he felt a little discouraged.

He still knew the name of the thousand-year cold crystal. Many of the books on spiritual materials in the Biluo Cave mentioned this precious spiritual material, which was usually used to refine high-grade magic weapons with cold attributes, or even top-grade magic weapons. The perfect choice for your device.

With the identity and cultivation of the Third Cave Master, it is impossible to find such a treasure. It is naturally impossible for Yuan Ming, a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, to come into contact with it.

Seeing the change in Yuan Ming's expression, the Third Cave Master knew what Yuan Ming was thinking and said, "If you just want to upgrade the Herring Sword to the level of a magical weapon, you can also try to find some low-level ores that also have cold attributes. . If I can find suitable materials, I can also help you refine them."

"Master of the Third Cave, can you help me refine it?" Yuan Ming was so unexpectedly happy that it was almost unbelievable.

"Don't be too happy just yet. I'll help you refine the herring sword, but there are also conditions." The third cave master said.

"Please tell me." Yuan Ming nodded, feeling that this was only reasonable.

"There are many special spiritual materials in Bailuqiu that are difficult to find outside. I got the news that Sang Yan, a disciple of the Black Fire Sect, brought back the White Flame Fine Gold last time. This time I need you to keep an eye on this Black Fire Sect disciple. Disciple, she will definitely look for this kind of spiritual material again. Find an opportunity to get her storage bag." The third cave master said.

"Master of the Third Cave, how strong is this person? Will other members of the Black Fire Sect help?" Yuan Ming pondered after hearing this.

"This person is only at about the eighth level of Qi refining. Your herring sword is more than enough to deal with her." The third cave master said.

"If this is the case, the disciple must do his best." Yuan Ming said.

"In addition, Chen Wan has not underestimated his own ability and has decided to participate in this alliance, so he has been in retreat recently. You will also support each other and help each other to complete this matter together." The third cave master continued.

"Of course." Yuan Ming nodded.

"Okay, you should try to find the spiritual materials first. It will be good if you can complete the refining before the Bailuqiu Alliance." The third cave master said.

Yuan Ming thanked him and left with Huo Chan'er.

At night, when Silver Cat Xiying appeared, he took the opportunity to ask some questions about the cultivation of Ming Yue Jue, and finally told him about the Bailuqiu Alliance.

Hearing this, the latter seemed to have known it for a long time. He just said, "I'm not interested in this kind of kid's play," and then turned around and disappeared into the night.

Yuan Ming had long known Silver Cat's character, so he didn't care and started practicing on his own.

Huo Chan'er felt that sense of comfort for a long time, and subconsciously wanted to get into Yuan Ming's arms.

Just after getting a few minutes closer, it suddenly woke up and glanced in the direction of the window with some guilt.

Even though it didn't see the silver cat Xiying, in the end it just moved to Yuan Ming's legs and lay down.

…

The next day.

Yuan Ming went to Guizang Pavilion early in the morning and used the few remaining contribution points to exchange for two spells.

One of them is called "Green Sword Technique". It is an intermediate technique in the Qi refining period. It is an advanced version of the Wood Thorn Technique. It also uses the technique to release wood thorns, but it no longer needs to be condensed from trees or the ground.

Instead, he only needs to adjust his magic power to condense sharp wooden thorns out of thin air, and project them in the void, just like controlling a flying sword, with great power and speed.

The other technique is a low-level protective technique called "Wooden Shield Technique".

When performing this technique, you also need to condense mana, and use a special operation method to make it burst out from the palm and five fingers, and condense a cyan round shield with a radius of three feet on it.

When the round shield is used, green light condenses on the surface, and a layer of wooden texture appears. It looks like a green wooden shield, which can defend against some low-level magic attacks during the Qi Refining Period.

After getting the technique, Yuan Ming began to practice it intensively.

Because he had the foundation of Wood Thorn Technique, he learned Green Sword Technique very smoothly. In just three days, Yuan Ming had basically mastered the key.

On the contrary, it was the wooden shield technique that consumed a lot of Yuan Ming's energy to practice.

Although this technique is only a low-level defensive spell, it is not easy to cast. It requires strict control of the operation and output of mana. The mana output on the five fingers must be even, otherwise it will be difficult to condense a round shield.

Once the shield is out of balance, its defensive effect will be greatly reduced.

In the end, it took Yuan Ming almost half a month to finally master this technique. At this time, he received a message from Chen Wan, saying that the master of the third cave had left seclusion.

In the evening, Yuan Ming went to the back mountain and handed Huo Chan'er back to the three cave masters.

The latter saw that he had not yet found the spiritual materials used to refine the herring sword weapon, and did not want to contribute any rewards, so he directly gave him the storage bag and spirit beast bag that had been temporarily lent to him.

After Yuan Ming thanked him, he left the Huolian Hall.

In a valley near the peak of Lianlu Hall, Yuan Ming saw Wulu.

Some time ago, in order to avoid suspicion, Yuan Ming did not go to see Wulu even when he returned from traveling.

After coming out of seclusion this time, he deliberately paid attention to the news about the Beast Slave Hall and the Beast Control Hall. Seeing that everything was calm on both sides, he took the initiative to make an appointment with Ulu.

The first time he saw Wulu, Yuan Ming was a little surprised.

The Ulu in front of him was wearing the clothes of a registered disciple of the Beast Taming Hall, with a faint smile on his face, and his whole aura had changed greatly.

"Brother Yuan, why do you look at me like this?" Ulu took the lead and said with a proud smile.

"Brother Wulu has changed so much that I didn't dare to recognize him for a while," Yuan Ming said.

"After Kun Tu's death, Elder Mengshan valued me. Seeing that my qualifications were about to fall, he took advantage of the situation and replaced me. Fortunately, I'm quite agile and I'm a registered disciple. I'll have to ask Brother Yuan to take care of me in the future. ." Ulu said.

"Congratulations, congratulations, you are really capable. I will have to ask Brother Wulu to take care of you in the future." Yuan Ming said politely.

"Brother Yuan is too modest. Let me tell you something. There was an accident last time, and Senior Brother Kuntu died violently. After the sect sent people to investigate, nothing was found, so they just left it alone. It's been more than half a year now, I'm afraid It will be difficult to find the perpetrator." Ulu said again.

"What should we do? Aren't we going to have to worry when we go out on business in the future?" Yuan Ming pretended to be panicked, but the stone in his heart was completely relieved.

"There's nothing to worry about. I don't think the sect will send us people out in the near future. Everyone can practice with peace of mind for a while." Ulu said with a smile instead.

Yuan Ming was stunned when he heard this.

"Brother Yuan, the Bailuqiu Alliance is about to start. Will you participate?" Ulu changed the topic and asked.

"I'm planning to participate, what about you?" Yuan Ming said.

"Do you really want to participate? I thought you wouldn't take risks again after you were in danger last time." Ulu said unexpectedly.

"If you want to improve, you have to take some risks." Yuan Ming said with a wry smile.

"Yes, I plan to try my luck this time. How can I improve my cultivation with the help of my sect? We have to take care of each other when the time comes." Ulu nodded and said with a smile.

"Brother Wulu has always been far-sighted, why do you need my care?" Yuan Ming glanced at him and said.

After what happened last time, he has realized that Ulu's identity may not be simple. His knowledge, skills and temperament are not what a person with a savage background can have.

"Brother Yuan doesn't know something. I asked people who have been there before. In every alliance meeting, not only the five sects fought and killed each other, but also our own people would fight in order to earn some extraneous things. So before this alliance meeting, the sects All participating disciples will be called together to establish rules, and the great elder may come forward." Wulu said.

"There is such a thing. How can disciples of the same sect kill each other? The elders really have to take care of it." Yuan Ming said angrily. This was news that the Third Cave Master had not said.
