But Li Yan also reacted very quickly. He made a judgment in a flash. Since the other party asked him to say it again today, he must have obtained new information.
But whether it was the small village of Shan Yiyuan or the capital city of Ming, they were both millions of miles away.
Don’t say that “Falling Star Valley” is a second-rate sect. Even if it is a first-rate sect, it would be difficult to extend its tentacles to such a far place.
It is possible that they could take their own portraits and jade slips to the "Holy Demon City". Thinking of this, Li Yan's face changed, but he still did not speak.
"Why, do you still want me to search your soul? Zhang Ming, since you have done a favor to my family, I will give you another chance. What is your purpose in coming to my 'Falling Star Valley'?"
Seeing that Zhang Ming was still hesitant and unwilling to speak, Xing Ming's face, which had been kind just now, immediately turned gloomy.
There was a slight fluctuation in his aura, and Zhang Ming indeed sensed something was wrong. He gritted his teeth.
"I am not hiding this on purpose, but it involves my master's life. I know that you can search his soul and get everything, but when it comes to my master's life..."
Having said this, Zhang Ming paused.
Xingming remained silent, but the pressure from his body began to emanate. Feeling the overwhelming pressure, Zhang Ming's face turned paler.
But Xingming already had a slight liking for Zhang Ming in his heart, and the reason was because of Zhang Ming's feelings for his master.
Xing Ming has always been lacking in the teachings of several of his direct disciples over the years, and has gained a deeper understanding of respecting teachers from the bottom of his heart.
There was no way Zhang Ming could resist his pressure. After a moment, he finally spoke with an embarrassed look on his face.
“It’s not that I’m hiding it on purpose, but I hope you can keep this secret for me for the sake of the fellow human cultivators!
My master had an enemy who needed to buy a plant of 'Starfish Jasmine' at an auction, but it was eventually bought by my master. Because of this, he and my master became mortal enemies.
Due to a plot, my master almost died at the hands of the Black Demons. This means we will have a life-and-death struggle.
Two years ago, my master finally found out that his enemy had entered the "Holy Demon City". After fighting with my master many times, that person had a very good understanding of my master's methods, so my master was not sure about dealing with him.
But that person had never seen me, so my master sent me to the Holy Demon City to inquire about that person... "
Li Yan quickly explained everything one by one, and finally talked about the reason why he entered the "Falling Star Valley", which was also very simple.
After he inquired about the news in the "Holy Demon City", his "master" planned to arrange for him to hide in a powerful sect so that he could hide and save his life.
He went there alone to seek revenge, so they finally chose "Falling Star Valley".
While listening to Zhang Ming's narration, Xing Ming began to secretly check the information he had recently learned one by one.
It is actually the most difficult to verify the past of a casual cultivator like Zhang Ming, so even with the ability of the "Falling Star Valley" sect, they can only try their best to find some clues.
When he sent people to search around with the jade slip of Li Yan's portrait, he finally got some clues about Zhang Ming in an inn in "Holy Demon City" after spending a lot of spirit stones.
This person stayed in the "Holy Demon City" for a few days. He went out early and came back late every day, and would be out for the whole day.
In Xing Ming's opinion, this must be what Zhang Ming said about looking for news about his "master's" enemy in the city.
Afterwards, after spending some spirit stones, he also asked in some shops where Zhang Ming had purchased some refining materials.
Moreover, when this person buys something, he often asks about things that have nothing to do with the materials. When these things are connected later, it seems that he is clearly looking for someone's whereabouts.
"Is your master's enemy from the Holy Demon Palace?"
Xingmoth suddenly asked.
"Sure enough, the other party did find out some crucial information!"
Li Yan sighed in his heart, but on the surface he seemed to be much more relaxed.
"Senior, I just found out that the man sent things to the 'Holy Demon Palace' several times, so I went to the 'Holy Demon Palace' halfway up the mountain to try to find out the news, but I was driven down every time..."
Xing Ming listened expressionlessly, his consciousness scanning the other person all the time. After Li Yan finished his narration, Xing Ming entered a brief silence.
“I heard that you are going to refine your own magical weapon this time. I don’t know how good you are at refining weapons, but my ‘Falling Star Valley’ is a sect that refines pills and weapons. Do you want me to find a master of refining weapons in the sect to help you
But you have to pay for the spiritual stones yourself, and I think you won’t be short of them.”
Xing Ming suddenly changed the subject, which made Li Yan feel relieved, but he couldn't help but become alert again. He didn't understand why the other party suddenly asked for someone to help him refine a magic weapon.
"Thank you, senior. I had agreed with the Great Elder that as long as I complete the task, the sect will provide me with the 'Star Shattering Chamber'.
The main reason for this is that my life-saving magic weapon requires my own blood essence to be integrated into the refining process, so even if I want to ask others for help, it won’t work.”
Li Yan showed a wry smile on his face and answered carefully while thinking. He didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but he guessed that the other party was not going to set a trap.
In the current situation, you can either find excuses not to use it, or the other party is strong and you are weak, so the other party has the final say in everything.
Either he abides by the agreement truthfully, or when he is in the process of refining his own magic weapon, the other party suddenly causes some problems in the "Star-Breaking Chamber" and he fails in refining the weapon.
Li Yan can only gamble. If he has no strength, he has to try once if he has hope.
After listening to Zhang Ming's words, Xing Ming just nodded. He was a master of refining weapons. If Zhang Ming could afford the price, he would sell it to him. Because of this, he also knew that the most important step in refining the life magic weapon was to use one's own essence and blood as the guide to condense the magic weapon.
This step is different in the refining process of different magic weapons of different sects. Some of them require injecting essence and blood when melting various raw materials in the early stage, and using magic formulas to practice.
Others are sacrificed after the magic weapon is finally refined and the master infuses it with essence and blood.
Both of these refining methods can be performed by a refiner on behalf of others, as long as the owner of the magic weapon sacrifices the magic weapon first or later.
In addition to this, there is another method whereby during the entire refining process, one must immediately inject essence and blood for sacrifice at several of the most critical refining nodes.
The opportunity is very brief and delicate. It is difficult for someone who is not an expert in refining to grasp the timing of injecting essence and blood, so this special refining method can only be performed by the person himself.
This kind of refined natal magic weapon is the easiest to match with its master, but it is also the most difficult.
Because he knew all this, Xing Ming immediately realized that Zhang Ming was going to refine a top-notch magic weapon for his own life.
But think about it, if it weren't for this refining method, he wouldn't have to go to such lengths to enter the "Star Crushing Room". He could just rent a refining room outside or find a good refining master to do some refining.
"After you successfully refine your life-defining magic weapon, what will you do next?"
The pressure from Xingmoth had subsided, and his eyes flickered.
"What's your next plan?"
Li Yan was really stunned this time and had no idea what the other party meant.
"It's like this, you killed Fang Guangjun, and you performed very well in the sect war half a month ago.
Through these two performances, although your origins are still not very clear, it can be shown that you really have no ill will towards my "Falling Star Valley".
Similarly, in the last war, after the opponent's golden elixir entered, you would ask them to remove the restrictions in their bodies, and you could also take advantage of the situation to add insult to injury.
In view of the above situation, after discussing with the Great Elder, I feel that with your strength, after successfully refining your own magic weapon, you should be able to confront ordinary golden elixirs head-on.
Therefore, after you come out of the 'Star Crushing Chamber'... Let's put it this way, regardless of whether you succeed in refining or not, the sect wants you to become a guest elder of the 'Falling Star Valley'.
If one day you can successfully form a pill, you will become a true elder of the Falling Star Valley. What do you think?"
Xing Ming told Tian Xingzi his real purpose in one breath. He had already made these things clear to him before Tian Xingzi went into seclusion.
He also consulted several disciples and learned about Zhang Ming's fight that day. In the end, he was really surprised by the strength of this man's physical body. Zhu Luomu saw it with his own eyes.
In particular, Zhang Ming actually got some strange species of mosquitoes from somewhere, and with his own strength, he incredibly killed more than a hundred enemies, including fifteen foundation-building monks.
Although he had heard Tian Xingzi's narration of this battle record before, Xing Ming's eyes sparkled when he heard the details from Zhu Luomu's mouth when he rushed back.
He surrounded and killed more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators. What kind of cultivator is this hiding in the sect
Therefore, Xing Ming had the idea of making him a guest elder regardless of whether the other party successfully refined his own magic weapon or whether his strength increased again.
Just the fact that Zhang Ming was able to control those alien insects was a great help to the "Falling Star Valley".
Tian Xingzi and Xing Ming had thought about killing these strange insects and stealing their treasures, but when they learned from Zhu Luomu that one of these strange insects should be a king, they immediately gave up the idea.
They already understood Zhang Ming's method of refining these strange insects, which was to only refine the king, and it must be the kind that required a blood pact between both parties.
When you want to control other mosquitoes, just let the Insect King use his soul to control each insect and he can do it as if it were his own arm.
If Zhang Ming dies, the alien insect king will also die immediately. All the alien insects may explode and die in an instant, and they will get nothing.
If Zhang Ming's soul was detained, this group of alien insects could use it by force, but their strength would definitely be suppressed to a terrifying level, and there would be no point in taking it away.
This is why a true spirit beast master is often not afraid of exposing the fundamental means by which he carries a spirit beast. Otherwise, a spirit beast master would often be killed and robbed of his treasures.
However, all this is not absolute. If one encounters a cultivator with absolutely overwhelming strength, he can forcibly erase the blood contract between Zhang Ming and the alien insects in the first moment.
Judging from the strength shown by Zhang Ming, this is definitely not something that Tian Xingzi, who is seriously injured now, can do, and Xing Ming is not very confident either.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing that Zhang Ming's expression did not change much after listening to his suggestion, and did not agree immediately, but began to ponder, Xing Ming also nodded in his heart. He was very satisfied with this man's character.
At this moment, Li Yan's mind was racing. The suggestion made by the other party was very abrupt. With his personality, he would of course think of many possibilities.
But I was more concerned about whether the other party would take advantage of the opportunity to harm me. But after thinking about it, I knew that my current situation was clear, so what else could happen
"No wonder they asked the sect's weapon refiners to help me refine it and give me benefits because of this idea."
Come to think of it, everything he showed from beginning to end, except for hiding his strength and lying low, really did nothing to let down "Falling Star Valley". On the contrary, he repeatedly saved many of their people.
