Mortal Seeking Immortal

The shopkeeper looked at Ye Zhou and nodded, saying, "Our shop can help people refine weapons, but most of the cultivators who come to our shop to refine weapons are Foundation Establishment cultivators. It is rare to see cultivators like you who are in the Core Formation stage. I wonder what kind of magic weapon you want to refine?"

In Xianliu City, when cultivators in the Core Formation stage refine magic weapons, they either refine them themselves or choose a larger refinery shop to help them refine them. It is rare to see cultivators like Ye Zhou who come to a small shop to find someone to refine weapons, so it is no wonder that the shopkeeper was surprised.

Ye Zhou did not choose this refinery shop at random.

Usually, at least half of the magic weapons sold in a shop are made by the refiners of the shop. Through these magic weapons sold, we can see the attainments of a refiner in refining.

Ye Zhou has seen many magic weapons for sale in many shops along the way. Although some magic weapons are of higher grade, the magic weapons refined still have many shortcomings, which will reduce the power of the magic weapons.

Although the shop that Ye Zhou chose only had some low-level magic weapons on the counter, it was enough to see from these magic weapons that the refiner of this shop had certain attainments in refining, and should be able to refine magic weapons that suited his taste.

Ye Zhou took out the pair of claws of the Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle from the storage ring. The claws of the Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle were very long. Ye Zhou took the first pair of shorter front claws. Although Ye Zhou divided them into three sections, each section was about two meters long. Once taken out, they covered the entire counter.

Although the shopkeeper had already prepared himself mentally and knew that the materials Ye Zhou brought for refining were extremely rare, he was still shocked by the claws when he took out these pieces of Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle claws.

After a while, the shopkeeper came back to his senses and pointed at the insect claw on the counter that exuded the aura of the Great Perfection of the Jindan Realm and asked: "Senior, do you really want to use these refining materials to refine magic weapons in your shop?"

Ye Zhou nodded and said, "Of course."

The shopkeeper asked, "What's your name, senior?"

Ye Zhou said lightly, "Ye."

The shopkeeper bowed and said, "So it's Senior Ye."

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, took off a copper bell hanging from his waist, and shook the bell gently. A young male cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm wearing a chores uniform walked out from behind the bamboo curtain.

The shopkeeper looked at the young chores and scolded, "Where have you been slacking off again, you stinky boy! Didn't you see the guests coming? Hurry up and pour tea for the guests!"

The young chores hurriedly nodded and turned to make tea.

The shopkeeper bowed and invited Ye Zhou to take a seat, and said to Ye Zhou respectfully, "Senior Ye, please wait here for a moment, I will go and ask the chores master to come out."

Ye Zhou nodded and watched the shopkeeper lift the bamboo curtain and enter the back room.

After the shopkeeper left, the young servant came out of the back room with a cup of tea and respectfully placed it on the table: "Senior, please have some tea."

Ye Zhou nodded slightly, but did not drink the tea. He was about to close his eyes to rest, but heard the young servant standing beside him exclaimed: "Senior, are these insect claws taken from the Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle?"

Ye Zhou looked at the young servant with a look of surprise in his eyes. When he took out these insect claws of the Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle just now, even the shopkeeper who had seen many refining materials could not recognize that these were insect claws from the Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle, but this young servant recognized them at a glance.

Ye Zhou suddenly became curious: "How do you know?" The young servant took a few steps forward, walked to the counter, pointed to the three inconspicuous black dots on the right side of the insect claw and said: "I learned from a jade slip that records some rare spiritual insects that when the Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle grows up, the right insect claw will gradually show small black dots to indicate the cultivation level of the Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle." "One small black dot represents the Qi training stage, two small black dots represent the foundation building stage, and the pair of insect claws that the senior took out has three small black dots on it, which means that the Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle that the senior killed is a spirit insect in the Jindan stage. . "

"And above the third small black dot, the shadow of the fourth small black dot appeared faintly. If I guess correctly, the specific cultivation level of this Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle is the Great Perfection of Jindan."

After the young servant finished speaking, he bowed to Ye Zhou and said, "Senior, I wonder if I am right?"

Ye Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, this Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetle is indeed at the Great Perfection of Jindan."

Ye Zhou took a closer look at the young servant and found that his cheeks were flushed, there were some calluses and burn scars on his hands, and although his clothes were neat, they had a faint smell of fireworks.

Ye Zhou said, "You just came out of the weapon refining room?"

The young clerk raised his hand and touched the back of his head with some embarrassment and said, "Please forgive me, senior. I had something to do at home, so I asked for leave to go home the day before yesterday."

"It happened that the store just received a job yesterday. Someone commissioned us to make a few foundation-building magic tools. Master Zhao was too busy to handle it alone, so I went to help. I am sorry for neglecting you, senior. I hope you will forgive me."

Ye Zhou said, "It's okay. Are you interested in refining?"

Just based on the young clerk's extraordinary vision, Ye Zhou knew that this person would have a great accomplishment in refining in the future.

The young servant nodded and said, "My father is a weapon refiner. I have read many jade slips about weapon refinement since I was a child and I am very interested in weapon refinement."

"Originally, my father planned to teach me how to refine weapons after I turned thirteen. Unfortunately, my father offended the cultivators of Liuhe Sect because of his weapon refinement and was hunted down by the cultivators of Liuhe Sect. He was forced to move his family to Xianliu City."

"On the way to Xianliu City, my father died in the mouth of a spirit insect in order to protect me."

When the young servant said this, his eyes were full of loneliness and hatred.

Ye Zhou said: "With your accumulated knowledge in refining, there should be many refiners willing to accept you as an apprentice. Why do you stay here to do odd jobs?"

The young errand boy replied: "I just came to Xianliu City and I am unfamiliar with the place. It was Master Zhao who took me in and gave me a bite to eat. Later, I was allowed to live in the store by the shopkeeper's mercy."

"I have no way to repay their kindness. I can only stay and do some odd jobs to repay them."

After hearing this, Ye Zhou looked at the young errand boy with admiration. There are so many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who are only interested in profit. It is rare to find someone like this person who is grateful and repays kindness.

Ye Zhou asked: "I have been chatting for so long, but I still don't know your name?"

The young errand boy said: "Junior Xun Ke."

While the two were talking, the shopkeeper hurried out from behind the bamboo curtain with a gray-haired old man.

The shopkeeper walked up to Ye Zhou, bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, Senior Ye."

Ye Zhou's eyes fell on the gray-haired old man, and he said lightly, "It's okay, I guess this is Master Zhao?"

Master Zhao was wearing a dark blue cloth coat with some small black particles on it. I guess he often stayed in the refining room to refine weapons.
