Chapter 424: Ding's Patch Shop
After looking for a few shops, Yuan Dian did not find a suitable one, and at this moment, a small shop called 'Ding's Tonic Shop' attracted Yuan Dian's attention.
On one side of the pΓΉ of this shop hangs a sign that reads: "Spiritual weapons are not refined, repair treasure weapons, three pieces a month." β
On the other side, a recruitment advertisement was posted: "Recruit a senior spiritual artifact master of Sanquenching, and the treatment is negotiable." β
"Ding's toner shop has some confidence. Looking at such a card, Yuan Dian remembered his experience in Thunder City, smiled slightly, and then walked in.
Ding's mending shop is not large, there are only two shops in front of it, and the furnishings are also extremely simple, there is only one counter, a table, and a few chairs, except for these, all around are empty, and they are not filled with all kinds of spiritual artifacts and minerals like other refining shops. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a refining shop.
There were only two people in the shop, one of them was a sturdy middle-aged man with a slightly short stature and a somewhat wooden face, who was not weak in cultivation and was already in the late stage of Jiedan, and the other was an old man with a dark and thin face and early cultivation of the Yuan Infant.
When Yuan Dian entered, the middle-aged man was half-leaning on the counter, his head lowered, not knowing what he was pondering, while the old man was lying on a recliner with his eyes slightly closed, swaying, somewhat similar to the fire master when he was leisurely.
Seeing such two people, Yuan Dian was about to answer, but the voice of Huo Ye came from his ears: "Boy, that black-faced old man is a great power in the Silent Extinction Period, and he is also a five-quenching treasure master, even the middle-aged man in Mu Ne is also a late Yuan Infant Monk, you be careful." β
"What?" I heard Huo Ye say. Yuan Dian couldn't help but gasp, tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "How is this possible......?
"Boy, there are many strange people in the cultivation realm. It's normal that you can't see their true cultivation. β
As soon as Huo Ye finished speaking, the middle-aged man lying on the counter didn't raise his head, and said impatiently: "This month's quota has been used up, and it needs to ......be repaired."
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man seemed to sense the difference in Yuan Dian and looked up at Yuan Dian. He said impatiently: "This little Taoist friend, our Ding's mending shop only repairs damaged treasure weapons, not refining spiritual weapons, if you want to refine spiritual weapons, please go to other shops to ask." Our store does not ....... β
"Ding Bao, the visitor is a guest, don't always speak so impatiently. The old man was obviously more self-contained, and after interrupting the middle-aged man's words, he stopped the recliner, opened his eyes, and asked Yuan Dian: "This little Taoist friend, I don't know what to call it, what is the matter with this store!"
Although the time in front of him appeared in the early stage of the Yuan Infant's cultivation. But in fact, he was a great power in the Silent Extinction Period, and he was also a five-quenching senior refiner, so Yuan Dian naturally didn't dare to be the slightest bit sloppy. But he couldn't show that he had noticed this person's cultivation, so he immediately replied: "This senior Ding is invited, junior Yuan Dian, I saw the signboard recruiting refiners outside your store, and I want to come and give it a try." β
"Little Daoyou, we are recruiting a three-quenching senior spirit weapon. You ......"
"Ding Bao. β
After a slightly dignified sentence stopped the somewhat wooden middle-aged man, the black-faced old man stood up. looked at Yuan Dian, smiled and nodded. He said: "Yes, Yuan Xiaoyou has such refining attainments at a young age, and he ...... Hehe, it seems that Yuan Xiaoyou is ready to apply. β
Hearing the black-faced old man say this, the middle-aged man called Ding Bao was slightly stunned, obviously the old man's words clearly recognized the level of Yuan Dian refiner, and he also straightened his body, and then carefully looked at Yuan Dian.
At this time, the black-faced old man said to Yuan Dian with a smile: "Since Xiaoyou dares to come to apply, there is naturally no need to say much about refining skills, if the old man decides to keep Xiaoyou, I don't know what conditions Xiaoyou have?"
"Senior Ding, when I saw the recruitment sign outside the door, the juniors knew that the refiner of your store was definitely an extraordinary person, so I just wanted to live here temporarily, and by the way, I learned from the seniors to learn refining, as for the rest, the juniors didn't think much about it. β
Yuan Dian's answer made the middle-aged man called Ding Bao stunned, and the black-faced old man laughed out loud after hearing this: "Okay, since Yuan Xiaoyou only has this condition, then the old man agrees to accept you, as for the refining tool, the old man can teach some with you, come, Yuan Xiaoyou, sit down, let's have a good chat." β
The black-faced old man said hello, and after Yuan Dian greeted him, he immediately sat down, and the middle-aged man lying on the counter also came over, and the three of them immediately chatted.
Through the conversation, Yuan Dian learned that the black-faced old man's name was Ding Hong, who was a four-quenching treasure master, and the middle-aged man changed to Ding Bao and did not know how to refine weapons, and the two were uncles and nephews, and had lived in the stone city for more than 20 years.
As for Yuan Dian, he just said that he was a casual cultivator on the Ziqiong Continent, and by chance, he was guided by a mysterious person to embark on the road of refining.
And Yuan Dian also stated that he had already visited a number of high-scale and high-level refining shops in Shicheng, but those chief refiners either had a noble status and didn't pay attention to their own inquiries, or they just let him follow them for ten or eight years, and only found this place after many searches.
After listening to Yuan Dian's narration, Ding Hong didn't react, but Ding Bao of Mu Ne scolded those high-level refiners for being arrogant, and patted Yuan Dian on the shoulder, saying something like reassuring Yuan Dian that his grandfather would definitely teach refining attainments sincerely.
Then, Ding Hong and Yuan Dian talked about some refining questions, for these questions, although most of them can be answered, but Yuan Dian deliberately can't answer, but he just shows the level and knowledge of a three-quenching senior spiritual weapon master, and Ding Hong answered some of Yuan Dian's puzzles and questions by the way, and Yuan Dian immediately showed a sudden realization.
Such a scene made the fire master of the Yuan Shen place disgusted again and again, and after secretly scolding a few words of Yuan Dian's treacherous hypocrisy, he finally couldn't bear to listen to it, and returned directly to the Ancestor Ding.
Looking at Huo Ye's appearance, Yuan Dian was also helpless, although the senior Ding Hong in front of him was a five-quenching senior refiner, and he was the storage zΓ i that made the entire Xuanhuang Zhongtian look up, but in terms of refining attainments, in the eyes of Huo Ye, he was still an ant-like cunning zΓ i, and at most he could only be regarded as a bigger ant.
After talking for a long time, they were very satisfied with each other, especially Ding Bao, who was a little wooden at the beginning, also showed a bold posture in the end, directly hugged Yuan Dian, and called out one by one 'Brother Yuan', which made Yuan Dian extremely flattered.
In the end, under Ding Bao's strong request, Yuan Dian called Ding Hong his predecessor, and Ding Bao became his eldest brother, but whenever he thought that Ding Bao was a monk in the late Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Dian unconsciously had a wind in the back of his head.
After talking, Ding's uncle and nephew immediately led Yuan Dian to check the refining place behind the storefront, Ding's refining shop area is not large, only a fire tripod used for refining weapons and a few houses.
After checking, Yuan Dian immediately chose a house to live in, which was regarded as a place to settle in the stone city.
When Yuan Dian began to rest in the house, Ding's uncle and nephew also returned to their living room, Ding Hong's palm moved slightly, and a barrier separated the living room where the two were bound, and then began to talk.
In the living room, Ding Hong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for a few steps, and then asked Ding Bao who was standing on the side: "Ding Bao, what do you think of the kid who came here today?"
Hearing Ding Hong's question, Ding Baomu smiled and responded: "Ninth Uncle, that Brother Yuan is so young, he has such cultivation and refining attainments, it is really enviable, and there is nothing wrong with his origin, he seems to be loyal, and he can refine weapons, which completely meets our needs." β
"Actually, Uncle Nine, we don't need to be so careful at all, since we know where that treasure is, we can just sneak in and retrieve it, it's too much trouble to go through so much trouble. β
"Ding Bao, things won't be as simple as you think, the whole family has been tracking for more than five hundred years before learning such a little news, if you are a little careless, once you startle the snake, it is likely that your efforts will be wasted. Ding Hong obviously disagreed with Ding Bao's remarks, and reprimanded him.
Seeing Ding Bao's face a little unconvinced, Ding Hong continued: "Ding Bao, don't look down on these forces of Xuanhuang Zhongtian, some powerful people have entered Xuanhuang Inner Heaven from here, and it is not unreasonable for our opponent's family to be able to stand in Xuanhuang Inner Heaven for a long time. β
"Although the Xuanhuang Zhongtian Cultivation True Force is one level lower, this is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and we can't be sloppy. β
"Just like that Yuan Dian today, on the surface, it seems that he only has a foundation building cultivation, and he is just a three-quenching senior refiner, but he has already sacrificed and refined the Wenyang Fire Ding that only a treasure master can sacrifice, think about it, is there such a person in our entire family? Even in the entire Xuanhuang Inner Heaven, how many young monks like Yuan Dian are there?"
Hearing Ding Hong say this, Ding Bao's face instantly showed a look of surprise, and Ding Hong waved his hand and continued: "Ding Bao, we don't need to doubt and guess the origin of Yuan Dian, we just need him to help us do some things, and then, we have to work hard to find out the accurate news of that treasure as soon as possible, and then bring it back to the family as much as possible." β
"Tomorrow, I will guide Yuan Dian when repairing the treasure weapon, take the opportunity to probe his details, and after a period of communication, if it is appropriate, we will hand over the one here to him, let him cover for us, and we can also do our business." β
After Ding Hong said this, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes, and Ding Bao's face was even more wooden after listening to these words. (To be continued)
