Lei Ming naturally carried out Kong Ming's orders unconditionally. However, Lei Ming did not have many capable men. After sending many people to Karasuma County to conduct investigations, it was a bit stretched to mobilize manpower to Shazhou. However, Lei Ming still has certain connections in the mercenary world, and if he really wants to get information about Shazhou, there are still channels.
Of course, things related to mutant monsters must be very confidential. You can't find out just by asking. You can only try your luck.
Kong Ming was quite reassured about Lei Ming's ability to do things and told him to do it his own way. Now that we have the support of Kong's family, we don't have to worry about funding issues at all, and we can naturally do things more conveniently.
Before Lei Ming left, he informed Kong Ming of the results of the investigation in Karasuma County.
The men he sent out did indeed find information related to the Tie family in Karasuma County, and the Tie family was indeed wiped out by the military, but the situation of the Tie family's descendants is not so easy to verify. , it still takes time to continue to study in depth.
Kong Ming nodded and said that he understood, but at the same time he also told Lei Ming that the matter could continue to be investigated, but when facing Tie Suxin, he still had to be polite to her. Lei Ming naturally had no objection to Kong Ming's order, so he took the order and left.
The next few days were calm and nothing special happened, but Tie Suxin still avoided Kong Ming, so Kong Ming could only arrange for Mo Yue to spend more time with Tie Suxin. As a result, the relationship between the two women became more and more intense. Okay, I have the attitude of being a sympathetic sister.
There is another happy event, that is, Kong Qingyun, who has been in seclusion for several months, finally successfully broke through to the first-level Yuan Jiang realm and broke out. The reason why Kong Qingyun was able to successfully break through was all because Kong Ming gave him the top-quality Heyuan Pill. Otherwise, how could he have been so successful
Kong Qingyun was already very close to Kong Ming, but now that he has received such great benefits from Kong Ming, he naturally admires Kong Ming greatly! Even though Kong Qingyun is almost ten years older than Kong Ming, in his heart, he feels that he regards Kong Ming as a brother, and he is very happy to hang around Kong Ming.
It can be said that with his outstanding performance, Kong Ming's position in the Kong family has become more and more stable, and he has even begun to have his own team. However, after Kong Qingyun came out of seclusion, he only met Kong Ming briefly. When he wanted to go out drinking with Kong Ming again, Kong Ming began to retreat.
Kong Ming's retreat this time was not to improve his cultivation. After all, it had not been long since he had been promoted to the first-level Yuan Jiang. No matter how talented he was, it would be difficult to break through again in a short time. Therefore, the purpose of Kong Ming's retreat this time was to deepen his attainments in elixirs and forging.
After learning about the existence of the Medicine-seeking Immortal Sect and reading Master Tie's Forging Book, Kong Ming knew that although his talents in these two areas were amazing, there was still a huge gap compared to those top figures. He could only continue to Only by accumulating experience can it be possible to reach and exceed the level of predecessors.
Kong Ming has borrowed the hand of Mo Yue to return the forged book passed down by Master Tie to Tie Suxin. However, the contents of the Forging Book have been forcibly memorized by Kong Ming. In addition, Kong Ming has completely mastered the "Golden Fire Pointing Element Technique". As long as he accumulates more experience, he will eventually be able to fully integrate the inheritance of Master Tie. When the confluence is connected.
As for the way of elixirs, Kong Ming can be said to have benefited a lot from Hu Yaoba's book on temporary elixirs. Although it is not considered to be the true inheritance of Hu Yaoba, if he really uses the book of temporary elixirs If all the contents in the book are fully understood, then Kong Ming can be regarded as one of the leading elixir masters in Liangzhou.
Moreover, Kong Ming's retreat this time has a very clear purpose, which is to help Mo Yue create a protective treasure!
After realizing the importance of Mo Yue, Kong Ming naturally could no longer allow Mo Yue to fail and had to find a way to protect her. Mo Yue is not a Yuanli cultivator, so it is impossible for Mo Yue to hand over those defensive Yuan Weapons to Mo Yue for use. However, as a forger, Kong Ming can still tailor a set of armor for Mo Yue.
With the means that Kong Ming is now able to forge the Yuan Weapon, if he really wants to forge something good, he just needs to use his brain a little more.
Speaking of defense, for Kong Ming, it was naturally the vine-armored soldiers he encountered during the expedition to the Southern Barbarians during the Three Kingdoms era, which left the deepest impression on him. If you don't use fire attacks, it is really not easy to defeat the vine armor soldiers.
Of course, the so-called rattan armor is just a toy compared to the Yuan Weapon spiritual weapons on Tianyuan Continent! However, Kong Ming can find inspiration from this "toy".
Before retreating, Kong Ming checked the collection in the Kong family's treasury and discovered a rare spiritual herb called "Ivy Leaf". This kind of "green vine leaf" is produced on an isolated island overseas in the East. The environment in which it is located is obviously the most abundant in water element energy, but what grows and gathers with it is the wood element energy!
"Ivy Leaf" is a very special spiritual grass. The way it gathers Yuan Power is somewhat similar to the Yuan Power Crystal Core of Warcraft. And a century-old "Ivy Leaf" contains the Yuan Power It is so rich that it is not even weaker than the elemental power crystal core of a fourth-level monster!
Although it is a plant, it can condense Yuan Power like the Yuan Power Crystal Core of Warcraft. "Ivy Leaf" can be regarded as a rare alien species. However, in the past, a disciple of the Kong family went overseas for training. By chance, they obtained a batch of "green vine leaves" that were five hundred years old and brought them back.
Although "green vine leaves" are extremely rare and special, few alchemists use them to refine elixirs. The main reason is because the wood element power contained in "green vine leaves" is too strong, and it is not very effective. It goes well with other materials, but is not suitable for use as medicine. As a result, these five-hundred-year-old "green vine leaves" were stored in the Confucius family's treasury, and no one cared about them for many years.
In Kong Ming’s view, if these “green vine leaves” are not suitable for medicine, then why should they be used for forging? Will it receive unexpected miraculous effects
In the eyes of most people, it is only reasonable and reasonable for spiritual grass to be used in refining elixirs. How would they think of using this kind of spiritual grass that contains Yuan Power to forge it? But Kong Ming got inspiration from the vine armor soldiers and thought he could try forging "green vine leaves" to see if he could make an "green vine armor"!
So Kong Ming took away these "green vine leaves" from the Kong family's treasury, and then began his retreat.
After entering the quiet room of the retreat, Kong Ming specially observed the little boy who had been sleeping soundly in the quiet room. I don’t know if this little guy took too much pills last time and had difficulty digesting them, so he is still asleep until now. However, even if the little one didn't wake up, its appearance had changed.
Originally, the feathers all over the little boy were all fiery red, looking like a ball of flames, which could be said to be an abnormality of the divine horse. But now, its feathers are changing quietly, from fiery red to golden yellow!
Although this change is slow, it has been happening slowly during the few months when the little one was sleeping soundly. Now, 90% of the feathers on the little one have been transformed into golden yellow. It looks very dazzling and golden. It can be said that it is completely different from the previous appearance!
If anyone sees the little one looking like this, no matter how rich their imagination is, they will not be able to connect it with the fire phoenix!
In Kong Ming's view, this change should be good for the little one. Otherwise, a magical beast like the little one would not be able to stay asleep and allow things that are not good for him to happen. Perhaps, only after all the feathers on the little one's body turn golden yellow can it wake up!
After seeing that there was nothing strange about the little one, Kong Ming began his own retreat.
I saw Kong Ming wave his hand in the void, take out the Nine Yang Fire Pool from the Ring of Tolia, place it on the stove that has been used many times in the quiet room, and then take out some fire crystal stones. , stacked on the stove, ready to start forging.
As the fire spar burned with blazing flames, the temperature in the room suddenly increased a lot, and Kong Ming immediately threw a piece of "green vine leaf" into the Nine Yang Fire Pond.
The size of an "green vine leaf" is about the same as a lotus leaf. If you really want to refine an "green vine armor", you only need about seven or eight "green vine leaves", and the materials are enough. However, the wood-type energy contained in the five-hundred-year-old "Ivy Leaf" is really extraordinary. If we really want to compare the toughness, I am afraid that ordinary fine steel cannot compare with it.
What Kong Ming has to do now is to try refining the "Ivy Leaf" first to see if there is anything difficult to deal with. After figuring out the properties of the "Ivy Leaf", he can start the actual forging. Anyway, the number of "green vine leaves" is enough to definitely guarantee Kong Ming's forging needs.
After the "Ivy Leaf" was put into the Jiuyang Fire Pond, Kong Ming immediately poured the elemental power of the two systems of gold and fire into the fire pond, and began to forge the "Ivy Leaf" using the "Golden Fire Dian Yuan Jue" technique. .
Kong Ming's skill in controlling Yuanli is probably second to none among the forgers. Coupled with the help of mysterious forging techniques such as "Golden Fire Pointing Yuan Jue", even if the five-hundred-year-old "Ivy Leaf" is The extremely special material was slowly and smoothly refined by Kong Ming, and was refined into juice bit by bit in the Nine Yang Fire Pond.
Unknowingly, almost a whole day has passed, and the "green vine leaves" that were thrown into the Nine Yang Fire Pond have been refined into a fist-sized green liquid ball, which is suspended in the Nine Yang Fire Pond!
