Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

"So it's you, fellow Taoist. I haven't seen you for ten days. Your cultivation has reached..." The shopkeeper was shocked when he saw Luo Shan's cultivation. In just ten days, this female cultivator had jumped from the initial stage of foundation building to the middle stage.

Looking at the other person's bone age, he is around 20 years old. Whose genius is he? How can he be so amazing?

He was secretly surprised, but the smile on his face became even more amiable. The other party was so young and had such an accomplishment, he must be one of the talented disciples in the sect. It would be best to make friends with such a person.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your breakthrough." The shopkeeper smiled and bowed, then continued:

"I don't know what you want to know. If I know, I will definitely tell you."

After saying this, he looked at the spirit stones on the counter, his expression becoming more respectful.

"I want to know where I can find a weapon refiner?" Luo Shan planned to find a weapon refiner to make a handy weapon for himself.

"Item Refiner?"

The shopkeeper reacted quickly and replied immediately: "There are two weapon refiners in Suyue City, both of whom can refine second-grade magic weapons."

"One lives in East Street, his name is Liu Qizheng, and the other is a weapon refiner from the Li family in Suyue City."

"The weapon refiner of the Li family will not refine weapons for others easily. The magic weapons he refines are all owned by the Li family. As for Master Liu, if you want to ask him to refine a magic weapon, in addition to the materials, the cost is also quite expensive."

After obtaining the address of Master Liu from Manager Li, Luo Shan left the restaurant.

Master Liu's house at the corner of East Street was not difficult to find. I asked around and soon arrived there.

A simple three-courtyard house stands deep in the alley, with the dark brown wooden door closed and the pull ring hanging down. A few branches extend from the side of the courtyard wall, with a few leaves hanging on them, making it look a bit bleak.

Luo Shan didn't expect that the other party lived in such a place, and after being surprised, he didn't think much about it.

He reached out and pulled the ring and knocked on it. Luo San waited outside for a long time before there was any movement from the door.

An old hand as thin as an orange peel reached out, and then the door was opened forcefully. A pair of calm eyes came into view.

"Are you Master Liu Qizheng?"

Luo Shan had a strange expression on her face. After seeing the other person's hand that looked like that of an 80-year-old man and his aged face that looked as if she could knock him to death with just one punch, she couldn't help but wonder if the restaurant owner was fooling her?

"What's the matter?" The other party's voice was completely different from the old face.

The other party's voice was vigorous and powerful, like a rumbling bell, like a man in his thirties in the prime of his life, without a trace of old age.

Such a contrast made Luo Shan dispel his doubts about the other party's identity. After all, cultivators are superior to ordinary people and have long been extraordinary. For a cultivator, a centenarian may look like a man in his twenties.

"I would like to ask the master to make a magic weapon for me." Luo San explained his intention.

"Ask me to forge a magic weapon?" Liu Qizhen's old face wrinkled into a ball: "If you want me to forge a magic weapon, the price is not cheap."

"I would like to ask you to make a second-grade magic weapon."

"One thousand low-grade spirit stones." Liu Qi quoted the price directly without even raising his eyes.

Even though he was prepared for the price to be high, Luo Shan's eyes twitched when he heard the other party say the number one thousand.

She remembered that she had bought seven second-grade magic tools at Wanbao Tower and only received five or six hundred spirit stones for them. Now she just wanted to ask a tool refiner to make a magic tool, but the price was one thousand.

"Why, you think it's too expensive?" Liu Qizheng didn't miss the expression on the other person's face and sneered:

"The magic tools that are tailor-made for me are not the ones you buy in the magic tool shop. If you think they are too expensive, just leave now and stop wasting my time."

Liu Qizheng waved his hand impatiently, trying to close the door.

Luo Shan took out a bag of spirit stones from his storage bag and blocked the door that the other party was about to close.

Liu Qi's hand, which was about to close the door, paused, glanced at Luo Shan, reached out to take the bag of spirit stones, and with his other hand opened the door, revealing a space large enough for one person to enter.

"Come in!" After saying this, he turned around and walked into the yard without looking back.

Luo Shan was surprised to see that the other party showed no joy even after taking the spirit stone.

After entering the yard, the first thing I saw was a large, oddly shaped pool. It was so dark inside that I couldn't tell what was inside.

"Tell me, what kind of magic weapon do you want to make?" Liu Qizhen turned around and asked.

"I want to make an umbrella." Luo San thought for a moment and replied.

She was not a swordsman, so it would be useless for her to forge a sword. She was not good at other weapons either, so it would be better for her to forge an umbrella that could be used for both offense and defense.

"Umbrella?" Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Not bad, it can be used for both offense and defense, it suits you very well."

Having said this, he looked meaningfully at the white jade coffin hanging on the other person's waist. It was obvious that he recognized Luo San's identity as a monk from Southern Xinjiang.

Luo Shan took out some refining materials from the storage bag. After thinking for a while, he also took out the golden fruit branch.

"Golden Fruit Tree Branch, you are a lucky girl." Liu Qi picked up the golden fruit tree branch, looked at it carefully, and nodded:

"Come to my place and get your umbrella in three days."

After saying this, he looked towards the gate, signaling the other party that they could leave.

Luo Shan didn't say anything after being driven away so decisively. He took a deep look at the haggard weapon-refining master and turned away.

After exiting the East Lane, Luo Shan casually strolled along the street. Suyue City was not big, but it was still a city after all. However, compared to those larger cities, the shops in Suyue City were scarce. Standing at the city gate, one could see the end at a glance.

I had heard before that there was a secret market in Suyue City. Luo Shan searched carefully for a long time but couldn't find it. He guessed that this so-called secret market might require a specific way to enter.

After walking down a street, we arrived at the gates of several large mansions, the most magnificent and gorgeous of which was the Li Mansion.

Luo Shan looked over and saw two lion statues at the door, holding their heads high and holding pearls in their mouths. Their pair of stone eyes as big as copper bells were staring fiercely ahead, looking very majestic.

The two guards at the door were both Qi-refining cultivators. When they saw a female cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment staring at them in a daze, they were about to step forward to ask her when they saw the female cultivator turn around and leave.

The guard was a little stunned, not knowing what was going on. He planned to report the matter to the butler when he came.

Luo Shan originally planned to pay a visit, but just as she had the idea, she felt a sense of being watched again. Thinking of the little mouse following her in the dark, Luo Shan turned around without a trace and headed towards the city gate.

Unlike entering the city gate where you need to queue up and get a token, when leaving, you can just leave through the exit gate.

The spying behind him seemed to have disappeared, but Luo Shan didn't care. Instead, he walked to several low-level cultivators near the city gate, took out a spirit stone from his storage bag, and asked one of them for information.
