Now that he had made the decision, Yi Yun immediately started to pack his luggage and moved the two huge water and fire concentrates into the red lotus. After making sure that nothing was left behind, he took Qiuqiu, who was still sleeping, out of the place where he had stayed for half a year.
The secret room of the ancestral home.
He once again came to the poplar tree in his own manor and stood in front of the green graves of the three Psius men in silence for more than an hour, and then left Ada Town that same day.
Two months later...
In the Sunset Mountains in the center of the Qiwu Empire.
A team of more than a hundred mercenaries were walking cautiously in this lush primeval mountain forest in an orderly manner.
In the quiet mountains and wild fields, surrounded by rows of towering trees, more than a hundred mercenaries formed a long team about a hundred meters long, but there was no sound of conversation. The team just walked quietly.
As he stood, a pair of alert eyes kept scanning the surroundings, not missing any possible blind spot.
Walking at the front of the team was a man in his thirties, tall and strong, with a standard warrior physique, and a sheathed long sword hanging on his waist.
Following the man just one step away was a woman about twenty-six or seven years old. She had short brown hair and was wearing a light yellow jumpsuit. She had a graceful figure.
The only thing she has is that her arms are stronger and stronger than those of ordinary women, and she also has a long sword tied around her waist. At first glance, she can tell that she is a female warrior, and she is not weak in strength.
This man and woman are the leaders of this mercenary team. The man named Nado is the leader of the mercenary team, and the woman is the deputy leader named Leah. They jointly lead this team called "
The mercenary group went berserk and came to the Sunset Mountains where monsters are infested to go on a mission.
At this time, walking in the center of the team, there was a magician covered in a loose black robe. He was a bit shorter than the warriors around him, and he looked inconspicuous among the team. At this time,
He was muttering in a low voice that no one else could hear:
"Boss, we have been following this mercenary group for more than a month, but we still haven't found any mineral veins. We heard in Tamros City that there might be amethyst mineral veins here, so we followed this. You said this news
Could it be wrong?"
A voice responded in his mind: "How can I say this accurately? Finding mineral veins relies mostly on luck. As long as it is a place that has not been explored by anyone, it is possible to find new mineral veins. And since the Rampage Mercenary Group will be there
This area is being searched vigorously, so the news about the amethyst mine should still be credible."
The two people speaking were none other than Yi Yun and Menluo.
More than ten days after they left Aida Town, they arrived at Tamros City, a major economic city in the south that is more than 600 miles south of Aida Town.
When they were purchasing items in the city, they happened to see several mercenary groups recruiting people at the same time, saying that they had the exact information that there might be amethyst that had not yet been mined somewhere in the Sunset Mountains.
As soon as Monroe heard about the mineral vein, he asked Yi Yun to join one of the mercenary groups and followed him here.
The Sunset Mountain Range is a large mountain that stretches for more than 6,000 miles within the territory of the Qiwu Empire. It starts from the west of the empire and ends at the eastern border of the empire, spanning the entire territory of the Qiwu Empire.
The mountains are divided into two layers: inner and outer. The outer layer is forest and swamp terrain with countless towering ancient trees, while the inner layer has countless cliffs and cliffs, making it difficult for ordinary people to travel here.
Places that are difficult for humans to survive and reach are of course the lairs of monsters. There are various monsters in the Sunset Mountains. Except for mercenary groups and strong men who usually come here, no humans will come close to this place.
.
Monroe's argument obviously failed to convince Yi Yun, so he heard Yi Yun say again: "Although amethyst ore is rare, it is only dozens of times the price of ordinary iron ore. Based on my experience in the past few years,
You can still afford it with your savings, so you don’t have to try your luck here with the mercenary group. Besides, there are more than a hundred people here, so even if you find it, I won’t be able to share much."
"Hehehe, of course I know this! If it's just for the amethyst mine, I won't let you come here to waste your time. My goal is some more rare mineral materials, such as: black steel, death iron, secret
Silver...something like that."
Monroe paused for a moment, then continued: "You have to know: with only one kind of mineral material, no matter how high your Burning Tribulation Purple Flame cultivation level is, you can only refine a second-grade mid-level magic weapon at most.
Coupled with the Fire Essence Stone and the like, that means you have reached the top of the third grade. If you want to refine a higher grade magic weapon in the future, you will need more advanced materials."
Yi Yun Zheng paused and asked with some confusion: "Isn't it true that the higher you cultivate the Burning Tribulation Purple Flame Dou Qi, the better you can make high-grade magic weapons? How can you add a rare treasure like Fire Concentrate and only have it?"
Can you just refine a third-grade peak magic weapon?"
Shaking his head, Munro explained: "The function of Burning Tribulation Purple Flame Dou Qi is to improve the quality of mineral materials and fully bring out its own characteristics. But no matter how much you improve it, there is still an upper limit. You can't let a kind of
The mineral exceeds its original boundaries."
"Items such as the Fire Essence Stone are not considered a type of ore. They cannot be used to refine weapons alone. They can only be used to assist in amplification, just like how Pusius used it to refine the Crescent Knife.
The amplification effect of a first-level high-level magic weapon is the same as that of a lower-level third-level magic weapon. However, the amplification effect of the soul stone can only increase up to the fourth-level magic soldier, which is the upper limit of the soul stone refining."
Yi Yun thought for a while, seemed to understand, and said: "In other words... if I don't use fire soul or water soul concentrate, and I use only one kind of iron ore to refine materials, at most
Can we only refine second-grade mid-level magic weapons?"
"That's right!" Monroe nodded and smiled: "If you use higher-level mineral materials, such as amethyst ore, to refine weapons, you can refine third-level magic weapons, and by analogy, higher-level magic weapons can be made.
Weapons require higher-grade mineral materials to refine... But starting from the fifth-grade magic weapon, it is necessary to mix and refine more than three kinds of strange minerals at the same time, and the sixth-grade magic weapon needs to use six kinds of strange minerals.
Mine will do."
Yi Yun couldn't help but gasped when he heard this: "So many rare ores need to be used at the same time? If you put it this way, if I want to refine a fifth-grade or higher magic weapon in the future, I will not only need to have a fighting spirit, but also be able to collect all these rare ores.
?"
"Of course it is! As long as you have enough time, your fighting spirit will eventually improve. However, these rare minerals are really difficult to collect, and you definitely can't buy them with money... In my time
, there are more than ten martial masters with nine stars or above in the family, but there are only three magic weapons with six or above. It is because they can't find enough materials to refine them. That's why I urge you to come here to have a try.
Just luck," Monroe said.
Yi Yun suddenly realized! But then he smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, I understand what you said. But it has been a month now, and we have encountered a lot of monsters, but we haven't found even a single vein of minerals... Again
It’s time for the College of Higher Education to recruit people in four months, I can’t just stay here with the mercenary group and try my luck, right?”
Monroe seemed confident and said with a smile: "I have already made a plan for you! It is only more than two months' journey from the Sunset Mountains here to the capital Qiwu City. Regardless of whether you find the mineral vein or not, the most you can do is stay longer.
Wouldn’t it be nice to leave here in a month? Besides, I’m very confident, have you forgotten that you also have Qiuqiu, a treasure hunting expert?”
Yi Yun was slightly stunned when he heard this. It turned out that Monroe had included Qiuqiu in his calculations!
"Even the secret room in the ancestral house can be found by Qiuqiu, let alone this unprotected mountain forest? If there really is a strange mine here, how can it escape Qiuqiu's appetite? Don't forget,
As long as it is a rare mineral, it will have some attribute energy reaction, which is what Qiuqiu loves to eat. As long as we can find it, it is not all ours, but others have a share, hehehe!" Monroe!"
Grinning.
Yi Yun suddenly understood everything, and he also smiled and said: "So boss, you have calculated everything, so you chose to come here with this group of rampaging mercenaries, right?"
"I would choose to join this mercenary group. In addition to using them to help deal with World of Warcraft, there is another reason. It can be regarded as reliving old dreams. In the distant years, I also joined the mercenary group. It was a wonderful and brilliant time.
What a time!" Monroe lamented.
"Huh? Boss, have you ever been a mercenary? Did you go on missions like this?" Yi Yun asked curiously.
However, Munro shook his head and recalled: "It's different. Back then, my mercenary team mainly collected all kinds of strange minerals and irons and various essences. These things are equivalent to rare treasures. It's not that I want to
You can find the land if you look for it. Therefore, our goal is to focus on the major forces and noble families that own these items. Either steal or rob. The results are very impressive. The family will be able to refine several fifth-grade and above magic weapons in the future.
, they all have a share of my contribution!”
Monroe's eyes were confused, and the wonderful past years were unforgettable for him.
"...Boss, are you sure you joined a mercenary group at that time and not a band of thieves?" Yi Yun was speechless again.
