Celestial being

"This little girl has really started practicing."

Yuan Ming's heart moved slightly, and after taking a closer look, he found a trace of mana fluctuations on her body.

Although it is very weak, the fact that she already has magic power means that she has embarked on the path of spiritual practice.

At this time, footsteps outside approached, and the little girl immediately put away the exercise paper, folded it carefully, and stuffed it into her arms.

When the door was pushed open, Tuya had already jumped off the bed and threw herself into the arms of a dark-skinned woman.

"Girl, why do you always stay in the house and don't go out to play lately?" Hagong's wife knelt down and stroked her daughter's hair with concern.

"I'm tired. I haven't gotten enough sleep recently." The little girl lied as she opened her mouth.

"I haven't let you do it recently..." Hagong's wife didn't say the word "work" before she remembered that the pile of firewood in the yard was picked up by her daughter.

In fact, not only did she pick them up, but she also broke the dry firewood that was as thick as an adult's arm with her bare hands.

"If you're tired, don't work for me. Our family still has money." Hagun's wife said.

Yuan Ming gave them a lot of money at the beginning. They were orphans and widowed. It was unknown whether they were used to living a poor life, or they were hiding their wealth from others. They seemed to be living in poverty.

"Yeah. I understand, grandma, is the meal ready? I'm hungry again..." Tuya rubbed her stomach and made a "gurgling" sound. She was really hungry.

Hagong's wife straightened up and said with a gentle smile: "Okay, I've made your favorite stewed pheasant with bamboo shreds."

"Okay!" The little girl cheered and ran out.

A woman's slightly confused murmur came from behind: "You can eat and sleep, but you seem to have grown taller recently?"

Yuan Ming followed Tuya outside the house and saw a small farmyard.

The yard is not big and is surrounded by a low wooden fence. There is no gatehouse. The ground in the yard is solid hard soil and there are no bricks, but it is very clean.

At this time, there was a noise outside the courtyard, and a team of more than ten people riding various weird beasts stopped outside the courtyard.

The woman in the house was surprised when she heard the noise, and immediately ran out, taking her daughter with her to go back to the house.

At this time, the courtyard door had been pushed open.

A slender woman, her whole body wrapped tightly in a white cloth robe, wearing a bamboo hat and a veil covering her face, walked into the courtyard riding a tiger-like beast.

Hagun's wife was shocked when she saw this and quickly protected her daughter behind her.

But Tuya, who was still young, was not afraid at all. She leaned out half of her body from behind her mother and looked at the person curiously.

"Is it her?" The moment he saw the woman's appearance, Yuan Ming was shocked.

Looking at the team outside the courtyard gate again, he saw many half-naked tattooed knights riding wild beasts, just like the team he saw in his hazy state when he fell down by the river that day and delivered medicine to save him.

"It's really them!" Yuan Ming confirmed.

This woman was his benefactor. Without her detoxifying and healing elixir, he didn't know what would have happened.

After confirming, Yuan Ming was a little confused, why did these people appear here?

At this time, the woman in white riding on the beast suddenly raised her hand and waved, and a five-color disk flew out and hovered above Tuya's head.

The next moment, the disk glowed brightly, and a cyan light pillar rose into the sky, stirring up ripples of spiritual energy.

The woman in white is covered by a veil and her expression cannot be seen clearly, but there is a hint of joy in her eyes.

Hagun's wife looked surprised at first, but seeing that he seemed to have no ill intentions, she calmed herself down and stepped forward and asked:

"What are you going to do?"

"Your daughter has rare cultivation qualifications. We want to take her into our sect so that she can escape from worldly suffering and happiness and embark on the path of cultivating immortality." The veiled woman said.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would have already been fighting with each other and not understand what the other party was talking about.

But Hagong's wife had seen such practitioners, and she also knew how cruel these people were when they fought. She subconsciously refused and said: "You, you are wrong, my daughter is just an ordinary person, she doesn't want to... …”

"Aniang, I want to go." Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Tuya stood up on her own.

"Tuya..." Hagun's wife was shocked.

"Aniang, I want to practice cultivation and become a person like big brother. I want to protect Aniang and no longer be bullied by bad people." Tuya spoke coherently and her tone was extremely firm.

When the veiled woman saw this scene, her eyes flashed slightly, and her eyes became even more joyful.

Before Grandma could agree, Tuya had already looked at the veiled woman and said, "Sister, I want to go with you, but I have to take Grandma with me."

"What if I say no?" The veiled woman frowned and said.

"Then I won't go. I practice to protect my mother-in-law. How can I protect my mother-in-law when she's not around?" Tuya said without hesitation, shaking her head.

Ha Gong's wife was startled when she heard this, and she shed two tears without realizing it.

"Okay, then let's go together. Remember what you said today." The veiled woman nodded in response.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to help Tuya and her daughter pack their things and leave together.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming also felt emotional for a moment, but he couldn't express it.

When the motorcade restarted, Yuan Ming suddenly remembered that he still didn't know what sect this woman belonged to. When he was about to look around to see if there were any flags, his vision was blurred again and his soul returned to his body.

When the scene in front of him reappeared, Yuan Ming sat quietly for a long time and couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate.

The benefactor who had saved him that day actually took Tuya into his house, but he didn't know what his so-called rare qualifications were? But no matter what the other sect is like, if you encounter such a disciple, you probably won't treat him badly.

With the sect as her support, Tuya's life was finally guaranteed, and Yuan Ming felt a little more at ease.

He stood up and pushed open the window of the inn, looked at the moonlight falling in from outside, grabbed a futon, sat down on the floor, and began to practice the Ming Yue Jue.

…

Time flies, seven days have passed.

These days, Yuan Ming went to Changxian Tower again and bought some pills to assist in cultivation.

He originally wanted to buy some elixirs that could assist in foundation building, but Zhuo Lingling bluntly told him that this elixir was very precious and had a single effect. It was a priceless thing and was difficult to buy on the market. .

They don't have the Changxian Tower, and it's rare to see it in the entire Black Rock City.

Yuan Ming searched relentlessly for several days, going to the ghost market every day to try his luck, but in the end he found nothing.

Tonight, Yuan Ming did not go out again. Tomorrow was the day for him to retrieve the Bagua Mirror and the snakeskin inner armor. According to the bald man, Master Huolian would start refining the magic weapon for him tonight.

The image of the short, skinny old man appeared in Yuan Ming's mind, and a thought suddenly came to his mind:

"See how this fire master refines weapons?"

He is not idle, he is mainly curious about why this old man can only refine low-grade magic weapons when he can obviously repair high-grade magic weapons. There must be some reason for this.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately took out the incense burner and lit the black incense.

Accompanied by the familiar blurring of vision, Yuan Ming's soul fell into darkness again.

When his vision lit up again, Yuan Ming felt a wave of burning air coming towards his face.

When he looked at the scene in front of him again, he found that in the casting furnace not far away, blazing flames were rising, and something was being fired.

There was a "dang-dang" hammering sound in my ears. The sound was neither fast nor slow, but it was continuous.

"Refining embryos?" Yuan Ming was surprised.

But when his eyes followed Master Fire Master's gaze, he found that he was holding a piece of soft armor with obvious snakeskin scales in one hand, and a carving knife in the other hand, with fine carvings on it. runes.

The old man was skilled in his skills and could carve spiritual patterns very quickly. At least Yuan Ming felt that his attainments were far above his own.

He looked along the way and found that what was engraved on it was a rather rare defensive rune. It has strong defense against some injuries such as tearing and stabbing, and it has strong defense against damage such as heavy hammer blows. Weaker.

It is quite consistent with the nature of soft armor.

"No, the fire master is carving the talisman, so who is refining the embryo? Do they have a second hidden weapon master?" Yuan Ming suddenly thought, feeling confused.

It's a pity that the sound came from behind, and he couldn't control the fire master to turn around.

"Master, business is getting better and better recently. I'm afraid you will have to work hard for a while." At this time, a voice came from behind.

Yuan Ming immediately recognized that it was the bald man.

"Could it be that he is refining the embryo? He can still speak while refining the embryo, and the sound of the refining is continuous, and the breath of speaking is not chaotic at all. Isn't this also a master of weapon refining?" Yuan Ming became more and more surprised.

Master Huolian didn't answer anything until the entire rune was carved, and then he replied: "Don't talk to me while I was carving the rune, and you forgot again?"

As he spoke, he still stared intently at the soft armor in his hand, without looking back at the bald man.

"I was wrong, Master." The bald man responded immediately.

"Go, bring me a spiritual stone. Be careful not to make a mistake. It needs the wood attribute." Master Huolian ordered.

Not long after the words fell, the bald man ran over, holding a green spirit stone in his hand, and asked doubtfully: "Master, using spirit stones to fill the spirit can save spiritual energy, I understand this. But the defensive magic weapon is not made of metal. Is it appropriate to use nature and earth attributes? Why should we choose wood-attribute spiritual stones to infuse spirits?"

"What do you know? This snake scale soft armor is characterized by toughness, not solidity. It is a sharp weapon that prevents cuts and stabs. Naturally, the flexible properties of wood should be used. This is called application according to the material." Master Huolian He said angrily.

"I see, I didn't expect that this weapon refining and soul-infusing skill has so many skills." Yuan Ming thought to himself, keeping Huo Lian's words deeply in his heart.

As soon as he agreed in his heart, another question popped up in his mind: "With the bald man in front of him, who is it that is refining the embryo?"

While the two of them were talking, the "dang-dang" hammering sound still did not stop, it was steady and continuous.

Yuan Ming felt a hundred claws scratching his heart for a moment, and he was so curious.
