Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Therefore, they decided to conduct some research on the magic weapon market in the county town first.

In the next few days, Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana dressed in casual clothes and walked through the streets and alleys of the county town.

They walked into each instrument shop and carefully observed the types, quality and prices of the instruments sold in the store.

After some in-depth research, they found that there were several magical instruments on the market that were selling quite well.

One is a cloak that can conceal one's aura, and is very popular among practitioners who like to act in secret.
The other is a jade pendant that can increase the speed of spiritual power recovery, which is very helpful for practitioners to quickly recover spiritual power after training and fighting;
There is also a bracelet that can release a small defensive shield, which can provide protection at critical moments.

After learning this information, Jiang Qiong and others took action immediately. They decided to first purchase relevant materials and then cast and sell these magical instruments.

With the resource support provided by the Immortal Sect, Jiang Qiong contacted some reliable material suppliers.

In negotiations with suppliers, he made full use of his communication skills and obtained more favorable prices and high-quality materials.

Nan Fengxue used his understanding of ice magic to find special materials that contained ice spiritual power to add unique properties to the magic weapons.

Relying on her attainments in spiritual plants, Lang Nana selected several spiritual plants with special effects and prepared to incorporate them into the casting materials.

After purchasing all the materials, they came to the casting area of ​​the casting pavilion. In the casting area, the fire was burning and various casting tools were neatly arranged.

The weaponsmiths had already been on standby at their respective posts, awaiting instructions from Jiang Qiong and others.

Jiang Qiong picked up a piece of rare metal mixed from the Immortal Sect's treasury. This piece of metal emitted a faint golden glow, had a hard texture and contained powerful spiritual power.

He put the metal into the high temperature fire, and the metal gradually turned red. Jiang Qiong controlled his spiritual power and carefully controlled the temperature to ensure that the metal was heated evenly.

Nan Fengxue assisted from the side. She cast ice spells to adjust the temperature around her so that the metal could form a better texture during the cooling process.

Lang Nana crushed the selected spiritual plants, extracted their essence, and prepared to integrate them into the metal at the right time.

When the metal is heated to the appropriate degree, Jiang Qiong takes it out with special pliers and places it on the casting table.

He picked up a hammer and began to forge the metal.

Every time the hammer strikes, a dull and powerful sound is heard, and the metal gradually deforms under the hammering.

Nan Fengxue used ice spells from time to time to cool the metal, making its internal structure tighter.

Lang Nana seized the opportunity and dripped the essence of the spiritual plants into the metal. The essence of the spiritual plants instantly merged with the metal, emitting a strange fragrance.

After a long period of forging, the metal gradually took shape and became the prototype of a cloak.

Next comes the crucial step of carving runes.

Jiang Qiong invited the most skilled rune caster in the Casting Pavilion to carve runes for the cloak to conceal the aura.

The craftsman held a carving knife in his hand and carved the cloak with full concentration.

The runes flickered with light, and as the carving knife moved, a mysterious pattern gradually emerged.

Nan Fengxue provided spiritual support to the weaponsmith to ensure the smooth progress of the rune engraving.

Lang Nana watched carefully from the side and learned the techniques of rune carving.

After several hours of hard work, the rune was finally carved, the cloak exuded a mysterious aura, and the function of concealing the aura was initially realized.

Later, they began to cast jade pendants and bracelets in the same way.

During the casting process of the jade pendant, they added a kind of gem powder that can gather spiritual power, making the jade pendant's effect of enhancing the speed of spiritual power recovery more significant.

The casting of the bracelet focuses on the carving of defensive runes and the fusion of special metals to ensure that the bracelet can release a powerful defensive shield.

After many days of hard work, the first batch of magic tools were finally cast.

Jiang Qiong and others carefully placed these magical instruments on the display rack, ready for sale.

They also launched a series of preferential activities, such as giving away spiritual plant sachets when buying a cloak, and enjoying discounts when buying jade pendants and bracelets.

On the day of the sale, the Foundry Pavilion was packed with people. Practitioners were attracted by the newly launched magical instruments and came to buy them.

Jiang Qiong and others personally introduced the functions and features of the instruments to customers in the store. A practitioner picked up the cloak, observed it carefully, and asked, "How long can the aura concealing function of this cloak last?"

Jiang Qiong smiled and replied: "This cloak uses the unique runes and precious materials of the Immortal Sect. The breath concealing function can last for half an hour, which is enough to meet the needs of most practitioners."

After hearing this, the cultivator nodded with satisfaction and bought the cloak on the spot. Thanks to their efforts, the business of the Foundry Pavilion gradually prospered.

There are more and more customers, not only local practitioners in the county town, but also merchants from other cities who come to purchase.

Jiang Qiong and others were not satisfied with this. They continued to study the market demand in depth, constantly improved the casting process of magic tools, and launched more novel and practical magic tools.

Under the careful management of Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana, the business of Lingxiao Foundry Pavilion is booming.

Every morning, before the first ray of dawn had completely dispelled the chill of the night, the door of the pavilion had just been opened, and practitioners poured in like a tide.

They might pace back and forth between the display racks in the store, carefully selecting the instruments they like, their eyes full of desire and anticipation;
Or they would gather around the foundry masters, curiously asking about the latest casting techniques, and exclaiming in amazement from time to time.

On the display shelves in the store, a wide variety of magical instruments are neatly displayed, emitting an alluring glow.

Those newly forged cloaks, fluttering gently, seemed to conceal all traces;
The jade pendant is warm and moist, with a faint spiritual power flowing through it;

The bracelets are delicate and small, but they seem to contain powerful defensive power. They have become the focus of everyone's attention and attracted the eyes of countless practitioners.

As the business became increasingly popular, the reputation of Lingxiao Foundry Pavilion gradually spread like ripples.

At first, this reputation was spread by word of mouth in the streets and alleys of the county town and became a household name.

Soon, it attracted merchants from surrounding cities to come.

They either rode on gorgeous flying boats or drove animal carts loaded with goods, traveling thousands of miles to this place just to purchase the high-quality and unique magical instruments from Lingxiao Foundry Pavilion.

Jiang Qiong and others were busy in the store all day, welcoming every customer with a warm attitude, patiently answering their questions and meeting their needs;
While paying close attention to the progress of the work of the casters, he had in-depth exchanges and discussions with them, constantly improving and innovating the casting process of the magic tools, striving to make each magic tool more perfect.

However, this increasingly prosperous scene, like a beacon, attracted the covetousness of a group of people with ill intentions. In the darkest and seldom visited corner of the county city, there was a group of robbery cultivators. There were seven of them, led by a tall and strong man named Xiong Ba.

He was about forty years old, with a broad face and a lot of fat, which made him look particularly ferocious.

A long scar, winding from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, looked like a twisted centipede, adding a bit of evil to his already ferocious face.

Xiong Ba was wearing a tattered black robe that was covered in layers of dirt and bloodstains, and gave off a disgusting smell.

He had a thick animal-skin belt around his waist, with all kinds of weird, hideous and terrifying animal bone ornaments hanging on it, which made a "cracking" sound as he walked.

Next to Xiong Ba was a graceful woman named Mei Niang.

She looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a charming face, skin as white as snow, and bright and lively eyes, as if hiding a myriad of charms.

However, if you look closely, you can find a hint of cunning and cruelty in her eyes, which is chilling.

Mei Niang was wearing a red tight leather jacket, which fit her body tightly, outlining her curvy figure to the fullest.

There were strange black runes embroidered on the leather jacket. The runes flickered with a faint light and emitted a faint evil aura, as if telling of its owner's evil past.

The remaining five people were of varying ages. There was a young robber who looked to be just over twenty, with a young face, but his eyes were full of greed and ferocity due to his long career of plundering;
There were also old men who were nearly fifty years old, with weathered faces and gloomy and cunning eyes.

Their clothes were equally shabby and of varying styles.

Some were wearing clothes made of rags, some were covered in animal skins that gave off a foul smell, and all of them exuded a gloomy atmosphere.

This group of robber cultivators usually roam around the county town, making a living by plundering cultivators' property. Their methods are cruel and ruthless, and wherever they go, lives are destroyed. They are notorious around the county town, and everyone is terrified when talking about them.

One day, dark clouds covered the sun and the sky was so gloomy that it seemed like it was about to collapse.

This group of robbery cultivators gathered in a dark and damp secret room.

The secret room was filled with a pungent musty smell. A few dim oil lamps flickered on the walls, casting their shadows on the ground, making them appear particularly distorted.

They sat around a tattered stone table, on which were placed a few worn-out wine jars and some leftover animal meat.

Xiong Ba grabbed a wine jar and took a big gulp of the wine. The wine flowed down the corners of his mouth and soaked his clothes.

Then, he slammed the wine jar heavily on the table, making a dull thud, and said viciously:
"The Lingxiao Weapon Foundry has been doing incredibly well recently! I heard that their new magic weapons are in short supply, and their warehouse must be filled with precious materials and finished products. This is a big piece of fat meat that we can't let go!"

Mei Niang sat aside, twisting her waist gently, and echoed with a sweet smile:
"Brother is absolutely right! Those new guys are so young, but they have built such a big business. They must have no foundation. Let's sneak in at night and catch them off guard. We will definitely return with a full load."

A young robbery cultivator, still with a hint of immaturity on his face, frowned slightly and said with some concern:

"But brother, the Weapon Foundry Pavilion is the property of the Immortal Sect after all. If we rob it so blatantly, will we get into big trouble?"

When Xiong Ba heard this, his eyes widened with anger, and he slapped the young cultivator hard on the head, cursing:

"What are you afraid of? The Immortal Sect is far away. By the time they notice the movement and react, we will have already robbed and left. Besides, we should fight quickly and decisively. As long as we don't leave anyone alive, who will know it was us who did it?"

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

After a quiet discussion, they decided to take action on the night of three days later. In order to ensure the smooth operation, they also prepared several specially trained black dog monsters in advance.

These black dog monsters are huge, as big as adult horses, with messy hair all over their bodies, and they emit a disgusting stench.

Their teeth were as sharp as knives, flashing coldly in the dim light, and their eyes were flashing blood-red light, as if burning with endless desire to kill. At first glance, they were their right-hand men in robbery.

Three days later, night fell quietly like a huge black curtain.

Everything was silent, and the entire county town seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, immersed in thick darkness.

Only the occasional footsteps of patrolling soldiers coming from afar broke the tranquility of the night and echoed in the silent air.

Xiong Ba and his companions, along with the black dog monster, moved quietly towards the Foundry Pavilion like a group of ghosts.

They were light and moved freely in the darkness like ghosts, making almost no sound.

Soon, they arrived at the back door of the Foundry Pavilion.

Xiong Ba stretched out a sturdy hand and carefully pushed open the back door. However, the moment they stepped in, an invisible formation restriction was triggered.

In an instant, an alarm sounded in the foundry, and the sharp sound cut through the silent night sky.

Rays of light flashed and illuminated the entire foundry pavilion as bright as day.

Xiong Ba secretly thought that something was wrong, and his face instantly became as dark as ink. He suddenly shouted:

"Quick, rush in and grab as much as you can!"

At this time, Jiang Qiong and others were resting in the pavilion.

The alarm sounded like a heavy hammer, instantly waking them up from their sleep.

Jiang Qiong's face darkened, a trace of anger and determination flashed in his eyes, and he shouted angrily: "Someone actually dared to come and rob, they are really tired of living!"

Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana also stood up quickly, with angry light flashing in their eyes like burning flames.

They quickly straightened their clothes, picked up their weapons, and ran towards the hall.

When they arrived at the hall, they saw Xiong Ba and others rushing in with the black dog monster.

Those black dog monsters bared their fangs and claws, emitting low roars that were so loud that it hurt people's eardrums, and pounced on them frantically.

Jiang Qiong did not hesitate. He swung the sword in his hand and a sharp sword energy was instantly cut out. The sword energy was like a silver lightning, instantly splitting a black dog monster rushing in the front into two halves.

The monster let out a shrill scream, fell to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere.

Nan Fengxue waved his hands in the air quickly, and released an ice spell instantly. (End of this chapter)
