Chapter 176: Condensing the star ring, determined to win
The hazy morning light penetrated through the clouds and shone on the backyard of the Mercenary Inn.
Leorio was here early in the morning, sharpening his new sword.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The black sword made a sound of piercing the air as he slashed.
Leorio likes this sword more and more. No matter the shape, color or attributes, it seems to be tailor-made for him.
Holding this sword, Leorio could feel the feeling of blood connection, as if the sword in his hand had become an extension of his arm.
He could even feel the subtle feeling of the blade breaking through the air, like fine sand flowing between his fingers.
“I’ll call you ‘Dark Soul’ from now on!”
Until now, Leorio had not determined the name of this sword.
He took this name because he has regarded this sword as a part of his body.
Leorio is now like a man possessed, unwilling to put down his "Dark Soul Sword" at all.
Even this seemingly meaningless action of swinging a knife gave him a sense of satisfaction.
Leorio felt that he was extremely lucky to be able to obtain a "magic weapon".
What's more, this magic weapon was specially made for him by Master Lin Xi.
With this "Dark Soul Sword", Leorio felt that the strength gap between himself and Bai Yueguang was not that big.
Unfortunately, this "Dark Soul Sword" was too destructive, and he did not dare to use it to compete with Bai Yueguang.
After destroying the house, Mr. Lin Xi would only complain a few words. If he accidentally hurt Bai Yueguang, he would not be able to explain to Mr. Lin Xi.
In Leo Leo's eyes, Bai Yueguang was Lin Xi's family member. On weekdays, whether camping or staying in a hotel, Bai Yueguang lived with Lin Xi.
"Leorio!"
Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind.
Leorio put away his sword and stood up, looking at Bai Yueguang, who had his hands behind his back and was smiling mysteriously at him.
"Did Master Lin Xi say anything else?"
Seeing Bai Yueguang, Leorio asked hurriedly.
The knife he used yesterday cut Lin Xi's house in half, and he had to move to another house in the middle of the night.
"Lin Xi didn't say anything. She just said that you must take precautions next time you try." After a pause, Bai Yueguang continued playfully, "Of course, I also said good things to you. After all,
It was an accident, I don't blame you."
"Thank you!" Leorio said quickly.
"Stop talking about this, what do you think I brought you?" Bai Yueguang changed the topic and asked deliberately.
Leorio also noticed that there seemed to be something hidden behind Bai Yueguang.
"What is it?"
"Lin Xi asked me to bring it. If you guess it right, it's yours. If you guess it wrong, it's mine." Bai Yueguang said slyly.
"Bai Yueguang, please don't make things difficult for me."
Leorio knew that Bai Yueguang was teasing him.
"Okay, considering our relationship, I won't argue with you this time."
After Bai Yueguang finished speaking, he took out the things hidden behind him.
It turned out to be nothing new, just a scabbard.
The scabbard is mainly black, with some strange dark yellow lines on it. The overall look is like a long gift box.
"This scabbard is not fused with dark energy. It is just right to use it to cover the edge of your magic weapon so as not to attract too much attention."
Bai Yueguang said and threw the scabbard to Leorio.
Leorio chuckled. He was originally thinking about whether to get a scabbard for his "Dark Soul Knife".
The Dark Soul Knife was put into the scabbard and matched perfectly.
Looking at the weapon in Leorio's hand now, it looks like a large black ruler without a blade. It is a completely different style of heavy weapon.
This time, Leorio was even more satisfied.
...
Several rooms in the Mercenary Inn looked shaky because they had been damaged.
Dillon and Harriman walked through the corridor and stopped in front of a door.
Dang Dang Dang!
At Dillon's look, Harriman knocked on the door.
"The door is not closed, come in!"
A woman's pleasant voice came from inside.
Dillon and Harriman did not recognize whose voice it was. After all, there were so many women around Mr. Lin Xi, and they were not familiar with it.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Lin Xi here?"
Pushing open the door and entering, Dillon and Harriman looked cautious, fearing that they would see something they shouldn't see in the early morning.
"What do you want from me?"
Lin Xi stood in the middle of the room, looking at the two people who had rashly visited with a critical look.
In the entire room, except for Bai Yueguang, who had just left, everyone else was busy with their own things.
Harriman's gaze quickly swept across the room. Although he quickly retracted his gaze, a curious thought emerged uncontrollably:
How do so many people sleep at night?
Of course, he would not dare to inquire about such a thing.
He mainly came here with Captain Dillon this time.
"Our companions have all been cured, thanks to the help of adults. I came here mainly to express my gratitude." Dilong said hurriedly.
"You have already thanked me," Lin Xi said.
"I heard from Leorio that you are interested in minerals. It happened that some time ago, our charge mercenary group accidentally entered a secret place and discovered a mineral vein."
Dilong was carefully considering his words while observing Lin Xi's expression.
"Ore vein? What kind of mineral vein?" Lin Xi asked.
"That mineral vein is very strange. The further down you go, the higher the temperature. We didn't dare to go too deep, we just dug a little."
Dillon said as he took out several ores of different shapes from the storage ring.
The surfaces of these ores have pores of different sizes. The surface is dark red and feels warm to the touch.
"Fire attribute ore!"
Lin Xi's interest became more intense and she quickly used her spiritual sense.
"We have sold a lot of the ore we brought out. I still have some here. If you don't mind, please accept it."
Dillon said as he took out some more ore.
Large and small piled together, they are taller than Lin Xi.
"Is this a 'fire spirit stone'? The quality is not very high. Could it be because it has fire spirit veins..."
Lin Xi murmured and her expression became serious.
Dillon and Harriman both wisely did not interrupt.
After a long while, Lin Xi suddenly raised her head: "Tell me about the mineral vein you discovered."
So, Dillon began to describe how they accidentally discovered the underground secret passage and the situation of the underground mineral vein.
At the end of the sentence, Dillon said with regret: "It's a pity that we can't find it again."
"In the 'Wind Valley' mountain range?"
Lin Xi seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to herself.
After listening to Dilong's description just now, he felt that there was probably an "earth spirit magma" flowing underneath the secret place. Whether it was a fire spirit vein would require closer inspection to know.
Whether it is "Earth Spirit Magma" or "Fire Spirit Veins", they all play a vital role in Lin Xi's condensation of star rings.
Now, among Lin Xi's millions of stars, only two are lit, one with fire attribute and one with thunder attribute.
Although the fire attribute was the first star to be lit, it has not been able to condense the star ring because there is not enough fire element.
As for the thunder-attributed stars, Lin Xi condensed a star ring due to the catastrophe.
There is a big difference between having a star ring and not having a star ring.
If Lin Xi condenses a fire attribute star ring, not only will his strength be greatly increased, but it will also be of immeasurable help to him in refining weapons and elixirs.
so--
Even if there were no fire-attribute ores there, Lin Xi would still have to go.
Monks take advantage of the power of heaven and earth to achieve their own opportunities.
"The mountains in the 'Wind Valley' are vast and extend in all directions, and the climate is weird. We have tried to search for it, but failed several times." Dilong said quietly.
They charged the mercenary group, and they were framed many times because of this mineral vein that was impossible to find again.
Dillon thought about it all night yesterday and felt that he could no longer be so passive.
They charged the mercenary group and escaped this time because of the help of Lin Xi and others, but what about next time?
He came to Lin Xi and took the initiative to talk about the mineral veins, just to see if he could find a big backer for his mercenary group.
If Lin Xi and others were involved in this matter, those who must have ulterior motives would have to think twice before making any conspiracy.
"Do you know the general direction?" Lin Xi suddenly said.
"I know a general direction, but the terrain in the 'Wind Valley' is too complicated..."
Before Dilong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Xi: "Just know the general direction!"
"Lord Lin Xi, the Fenggu Mountain Range is very large. Even if we know the general direction, it may be difficult to find it."
Dillon felt that he needed to remind them, lest this adult would vent his anger on them because he couldn't find them.
"You can't, but I can!" Lin Xi said confidently.
Since he mastered the "Holy Soul Power", his self-confidence has been increasing day by day. Even if he has not yet found a place filled with spiritual energy, he still has enough confidence in his future cultivation of immortality.
To be honest, even if Dilong and the others don't even know the general direction, Lin Xi can still use his "Wandering Dragon Detection" ability to search the entire Wind Valley.
Granted, maybe the Wind Valley Mountains are huge.
However, Lin Xi's "Wandering Dragon Detection" covers a large area, it just takes a little more time.
"If you want to find that mineral vein, our charge mercenary group is willing to serve as a guide." Dilong spoke quickly, eager to finalize the matter.
He didn't care whether he could find the mineral vein. What he really cared about was whether he could establish a friendly relationship with Lin Xi and others.
Lin Xi nodded and said, "Then let your people prepare. We may leave at any time."
"good!"
Dillon quickly agreed.
The sun is gradually rising.
The Charge Mercenary Group has booked a restaurant with the best food in the town.
Before heading to the "Turkish Wind Valley", everyone decided to celebrate.
First, let’s liven up the atmosphere in the mercenary group and help everyone get out of the lifeless haze.
Secondly, they also deliberately let others know that their charging mercenary group did not fall.
Thirdly, it sends a signal to those with ulterior motives that they have found a backer.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is lively.
Many members of the Charge Mercenary Group were gathered in the restaurant hall, drinking and celebrating.
In a private room next to the hall, Leorio and his former comrades gathered together, talking about past events while clinking glasses and drinking heavily.
As for Lin Xi and his party, they ate in the largest private room on the second floor.
With this arrangement, no one will be restricted.
Unlike those mercenaries who drank and celebrated, Lin Xi was a real worker.
The food in this restaurant is pretty good, and there are already piles of empty plates high beside Lin Xi.
This was originally a very happy meal, but an uninvited guest disturbed it.
bump!
With a muffled sound, something seemed to hit the door of the restaurant heavily.
This sound suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
The first ones who ran out to check the situation were the waiters in the restaurant, but after seeing the situation outside, they all ran back in panic.
At this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded outside: "Everyone from the 'Charge Mercenary Group' come out. Don't huddle inside. Do you think you can escape!"
bump!
There was another muffled sound, and it turned out that the stone statues placed on both sides of the restaurant to attract customers were thrown in.
The stone statue was shattered on the ground.
"What happened?"
Hearing the commotion, Dilong and others hurriedly walked out of the private room.
"You guys from the 'Charge Mercenary Group' are scared now. What have you been doing? You fool, get out of here quickly."
The voices outside are still shouting.
Everyone in the charge mercenary group had drunk a lot of wine, and when others pointed at their noses and scolded them like this, everyone suddenly became angry.
Hooray!
Everyone in the charge mercenary group picked up their weapons and prepared to settle accounts with people outside.
Leorio also walked out together.
Outside the restaurant, a crowd of people stood in a dark place. Preliminary estimates put the number of people in the thousands.
These people are all members of the "Mercenary Alliance".
Standing at the front was a burly, bald man with thick arms, showing that he was a powerful fighting master.
The stone statue that was smashed into the hall must be his masterpiece.
"What do you mean?"
As the leader of the group, Dillon stood up and questioned the other party.
"You injured people from our 'Mercenary Alliance' and robbed their equipment. Now you ask us what we mean!" the bald man said arrogantly.
Dillon frowned, he had heard this matter from his subordinates.
"I think you have made a mistake." Leorio stood up, "The people who injured you and robbed you have nothing to do with the 'Charge Mercenary Group'. If you want to find someone to settle accounts with, just come to me."
alright."
"Leorio!" Dillon wanted to say something.
"I'll handle this matter." Leorio said solemnly.
With the current combat power of the "Charge Mercenary Group", it is impossible to compete with the opponent. In this case, it is better to let him solve the problem.
"Who are you? Dare to interfere in the affairs of our 'Mercenary Alliance'?" The bald man stared at Leorio.
Leorio smiled and placed his palm on the "Dark Soul" scabbard.
