"Oh ~" Zi Ming nodded slightly. "It's easy to say, but difficult to do!
I … can be considered experienced and knowledgeable, but I haven't been able to find a solution. This is one of the reasons why I came to find Master Ni Qin! "
"Actually, Zi Ming, you should hurry and find Xiao Mao!" Xiao Hua was ready to point out. "He has the ability to solve this huge problem!"
"Oh?
Is that so? "
Zi Ming was stunned, but then she suddenly realized. "Right, isn't Great God She Bi in charge of the weather?
Xiao Mao has Great God She Bi's bloodline, so he must have a solution! "
Zi Ming looked back again and smiled bitterly. "My maid hasn't caught up yet. The previous order has already been passed down, so let's just wait!"
"Alas, I'm afraid that's the only way!"
If Zi Ye was here, Xiao Hua would give the seed to Zi Ye without hesitation, but Zi Ming wasn't Zi Ye, so Xiao Hua was afraid that it would affect Xiao Mao.
"Turn that way!"
Zi Ye looked around casually and pointed in a direction. "There's a beautiful platform after flying another twenty or so li. Just stop there!"
Xiao Hua looked at the scenery on his left and right, which was more or less the same, and sighed in his heart. He couldn't figure out why Zi Ming would turn here!
After flying for a while, they saw a mountain peak that looked like a platform. However, this mountain peak didn't have any trace of beauty. The entire mountain peak was jade-colored and looked like a large spirit stone from a distance. Xiao Hua couldn't figure out what was so special about it.
The flying boat landed on the mountain peak. The entire mountain peak was one li wide. It was abnormally flat, as if it had been cut by a giant axe. There wasn't a single extra stone!
Naturally, there was no trace of anyone on such a flat mountain peak. Even the grass and trees were gone!
Seeing Xiao Hua and the others' confusion, Zi Ming smiled. "This is the reception platform. Everyone who wants to meet Master Ni Qin has to wait here respectfully for Master Ni Qin's arrangements!"
"Reception platform?" Xiao Hua was shocked. "She's using this mountain peak as a reception platform?
This Master Ni Qin … is really generous! "
"Yes, Master Ni Qin often says that only by using heaven and earth as a furnace and the common people as the fire can one refine the world's weapons ~" Zi Ming said with a longing expression.
"Heaven and earth can naturally be used as a furnace, but the common people are never fire!"
When Xiao Hua heard this, he was unhappy and said indifferently, "This kind of refining technique is a blood sacrifice!!!"
"Hehe, Young Master Xiao, I'm afraid that my Meng Mountain's method of artifact crafting is different from your Dao Sect's!"
Zi Ming grinned, "Wait until you see Master Ni Qin's refining skills, then you won't say that!"
"Maybe ~" Xiao Hua jumped down from the flying boat and looked around before replying.
"Sister, are you here to find Master Hua Qin to refine a weapon?" Fairy Hong Xia also flew down and asked tentatively.
"Sigh, that's right!"
Zi Ming sighed and said, "This matter is very important to me, and … it's so important that I can't disclose it. Therefore, I don't dare to tell you. Everything will be clear when Master Ni Qin comes!"
"Alright ~" Fairy Hong Xia saw that Zi Ming was very serious and did not dare to ask any more questions. She followed Zi Ming and sat on the mountain peak.
Li Zongbao kept the Flowing Cloud Flying Boat, glanced at Xiao Hua, and sat down as well.
A faint hot wind blew past from time to time. The sun was hanging in the sky like a fireball, and the sunlight shone directly. Not only did it shine on the four of them, but it was also reflected by the mountain peak, making the entire mountain peak hot.
The four of them sat on the mountain peak as if they were sitting in a fire. Although Xiao Hua and the others were cultivators, after a long time, their state of mind was also somewhat unstable!
Nonsense, they had been sitting straight for half a day, and the scorching sun had already turned into the setting sun. No one would be too calm, right?
Xiao Hua silently circulated the Sun Shrouding Art that he had just comprehended, slowly repairing his divine sense. At the same time, he looked around, trying to see where the so-called Master Ni Qin would appear from.
Seeing the full moon rise and the stars twinkling, a long figure walked in front of everyone under the water-like moonlight.
The figure was a slightly fat old man. The old man's face was hidden in the darkness, and his white hair and beard flickered under the moonlight. His footsteps were very steady, and his voice was also very rhythmic.
Seeing the old man approaching, Zi Ming hurriedly got up and bowed, "Master Qing Ming, may I ask if Master Ni Qin is in the valley?"
"I am Master Ni Qin's follower, and I am not a master. You can just call me Qing Ming!"
What surprised Xiao Hua and the others was that the old man's tone was very cold, "Master has ordered that you are a noble of the Houtu Village, and you have the Shaman Token. You don't have to wait here, and you can enter the valley by yourself!"
After saying that, he did not wait for Zi Ming to reply, turned around and left, as steady and rhythmic as when he came.
"Good, this Master Ni Qin's imposing manner is not small!" Xiao Hua thought to himself.
Looking at Zi Ming again, there was no trace of unhappiness on his face. He whispered to Xiao Hua, "Young Master Xiao, be quiet, and follow me to pay respects to Master Ni Qin!"
"Okay!" Xiao Hua whispered to him.
Hearing this, Zi Ming was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Out of Xiao Hua's expectation, Zi Ming walked to the edge of the reception platform, and there was a flight of stairs that led straight to the foot of the mountain. This flight of stairs was one step after another, as if there was no end to it. Qing Ming, who had just appeared, walked step by step towards the foot of the mountain!
"This flight of stairs was personally made by Master Ni Qin!"
Zi Ming's face was filled with respect, and he whispered, "Therefore, all the people who came to pay respects to Master Ni Qin must walk down from this flight of stairs to show their respect to Master Ni Qin!"
"Tsk ~" Xiao Hua sneered, and thought, "I'm afraid this guy is fishing for fame!
He was worried that people would rush in to find him, so he made a flight of stairs here, and used his name to suppress others, making them obediently walk in!
On one hand, he gained the upper hand by a show of strength, and on the other hand, he gained face for himself! "
As the saying goes, people of the same trade are enemies. Xiao Hua had not seen the Master Ni Qin, but he was speechless and slandered this Master.
This flight of stairs was really very long, Xiao Hua and the others walked straight for two hours before they arrived at the foot of the mountain. When they looked again, the flight of stairs extended into the darkness and into the valley at the foot of the mountain!
"Damn it, is there a mistake!" Xiao Hua whispered, "How long is it from the foot of the mountain to the bottom of the valley?"
"Young Master Xiao, don't be anxious!" Zi Ming whispered, "There is still an hour!
Last time, it took this concubine three hours to pay respects to Master Ni Qin! "
"Isn't this a waste of time!" Xiao Hua said coldly, "Just fly down from the mountain!
This so-called Master Ni Qin … is really too arrogant! "
"Young Master!"
Zi Ming did not have the slightest intention of complaining, "Master Ni Qin knows the purpose of this concubine's visit, and to personally receive this concubine … this concubine is already very satisfied!
Perhaps this time … there really is hope! "
If Zi Ming was a cultivator of Dao Sect, Xiao Hua would have already asked her. Unfortunately, Xiao Hua did not know how to refine soul tools, so of course, he would not speak blindly. He could only curl his lips, expressing his disdain.
The welcoming platform during the day was very hot, and the dark valley was cold and desolate. A sound similar to the sound of pines drifted into Xiao Hua's ears, and waves of cold air blew up from the bottom of the valley!
Xiao Hua was very familiar with this sound, it was the sound produced by the cold wind blowing through the withered treetops during the winter. At this time, all the plants in Meng Mountains were withered, and the leaves were long gone. The only things that were swaying in the cold wind were the branches that pierced into the night sky.
Xiao Hua did not know when it appeared, but a pea-sized lantern was shining in the depths of the valley. Although the light was small, it made people feel warm in their hearts, as if they had a goal, as if there was hope in their hearts.
When Xiao Hua got closer and walked down the stairs, he saw an old man in black clothes standing just a few feet away from the stairs. The light came from the candlestick held in the old man's hand. The light was small, but it was able to clearly illuminate the old man's face!
Sure enough, it was not out of Xiao Hua's expectations. The old man's face was ferocious. Not only was there a very deep knife wound on his face, even his ear was cut off, which made people think of a lot of things!
However, this was not what surprised Xiao Hua the most. What immediately attracted Xiao Hua's attention was the old man's height!
This old man was only three feet tall, and Qing Ming, who was standing respectfully beside him, was at least twice as tall as him!
However, Zi Ming did not lose his respect because of the old man's height. He quickly ran over from the stairs, bowed and said, "Zi Ming greets Grandmaster Hua Qin!"
"Strange!"
Xiao Hua felt a little strange. He thought Zi Ming would use the etiquette of Meng Mountains to kneel on the ground, but unexpectedly, Zi Ming's etiquette was similar to that of the cultivators of Dao Sect.
"Zi Ming is the nobleman of Houtu Stronghold, how can I be so respectful?
Please get up quickly! "
Grandmaster Hua Qin's voice was very strange. It was a little hoarse and a little sharp. She reached out her hand to help Zi Ming up and said with a smile.
"I don't dare. Grandmaster is a senior, and Zi Ming is a junior. I don't dare to be disrespectful!"
Zi Ming stood up with Grandmaster Hua Qin's hand, then pointed at Xiao Hua and the others and said, "They are … a few old friends of mine. They are cultivators of Xi Dao Sect. I met them on my way here, and they happened to have something important to do, so I brought them here …"
"Hehe, it's okay!"
Grandmaster Hua Qin said with a smile, "Everyone who comes from afar is a guest. I didn't know that you were coming, so I'm sorry for not coming out to greet you!
It's a sin, a sin! "
"Junior greets Grandmaster Hua Qin!" Fairy Hong Xia and the others did not dare to be negligent. They quickly stepped forward and bowed, then reported their names.
Xiao Hua cast a sidelong glance at this Grandmaster, but he had no choice but to follow the two and bow.
In contrast to Grandmaster Hua Qin's pleasant expression, Qing Ming's face was always covered in frost. He looked at them coldly, waiting for Grandmaster Hua Qin to order him to bring something to entertain Zi Ming and the others. Only then did he turn and leave!
Then, Zi Ming and the others were led into the cave by Grandmaster Hua Qin.
This cave was somewhat similar to a Dao Sect cultivator's cave abode. However, the furnishings inside were mostly white bones, vines and other objects. There were also some rather large oil lamps hanging on the walls. There were no Clear Flower Stones that were commonly seen.
