The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

Hu Xingtong handed the stack of talisman papers back to Wen Zhao. He was so tired that he sat on the ground and drowsy.

"Xingxing, you are too tired. Why don't you take a rest first?" Wen Zhao put away the things, took out a pill from his arms and handed it to Hu Xingtong.

The latter almost fainted when he saw a pill the size of a longan in his hand. At this moment, he inexplicably missed his junior sister. If she were still alive, the pills he ate would always be cut into pieces.

Oh, just eat it as it is.

After chewing the pill twice, he took the water that Wen Zhao handed him and drank a sip. He felt much better and asked, "Do you want to give your formation plate a name?"

Wen Zhao thought for a moment, then remembered the goldfish pattern drawn on the array disk with nine stars, and said, "Let's call it Nine Stars, the Nine Star Array Disk."

This name is quite ordinary. Well, let it be Nine Stars. It’s better than having no name at all.

"Do you want to test your level?" Wen Zhao asked while stroking the Nine Star Formation Plate in his hand lovingly.

Hu Xingtong thought about it and nodded, just in time to try out the function of the Nine Star Array Disk: "The place where the test is being conducted has a teleportation array set up, right? If so, you can directly use your spiritual power to activate the wind patterns on the array disk and connect to the teleportation array."

Hu Xingtong demonstrated the operation to Wen Zhao as he spoke, and only after explaining all the runes did he let Wen Zhao operate it himself.

With Hu Xingtong's introduction, Wen Zhao got the hang of it quickly, and the two of them soon arrived at the place for level testing. This time, with the blessing of the Breath of Law, the initial level of Xiu Ze Sword reached the sixth grade, and the Nine-Star Formation Plate reached the fifth grade.

At present, the Xiu Ze Sword is the highest level among the weapons made by Hu Xingtong.

"Would you like to see these talisman papers of yours?" Wen Zhao waved a piece of talisman paper in front of Hu Xingtong. Hu Xingtong looked at it and was also curious about the level of his talisman technique, so he nodded.

While waiting, Hu Xingtong also used Wen Zhao's place to refine pills. There were not many pills left, and he had to go to other places for training later. Hu Xingtong was still worried if he didn't have any reserves.

Wen Zhao, on the other hand, saw this person take out some spiritual plants and herbs and then sit directly opposite her. He watched her skillfully purify and refine the spiritual plants, and the shock on his face was no less than the first time he saw Hu Xingtong refining Chuiyun.

"You can also refine pills?" Wen Zhao's tone was so full of surprise that Hu Xingtong couldn't help but feel proud when hearing it. He replied, "I know a little bit. The Xiu Ze Sword requires a little bit of Danwen medicinal energy, otherwise I can't refine it."

"Can you give me one to look at?"

Hu Xingtong smiled faintly, poured a round pill from a small bottle beside him, and gently placed it on Wen Zhao's open palm. The pill had a faint sheen on its surface and exuded a refreshing medicinal fragrance, clearly of good quality.

Wen Zhao carefully examined the pill, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. "It's hard to believe. The patterns on the pill are so delicate and complex. Every stroke contains deep spiritual power and medicinal power. How did you do that?"

Hu Xingtong shrugged and said casually, "Practice makes perfect. Also, I have a keen sense of the properties of medicinal herbs and the flow of spiritual energy. I just add them according to the ratios in the book. I guess this is my unique talent and one of the reasons why I can refine pills."

As they spoke, the talisman paper grade test results came out. To their surprise, the talisman paper had reached the fourth rank, with some of the special-purpose talismans even approaching the sixth rank. Such an achievement was extremely rare, even in the entire cultivation world.

"Xingxing, I didn't expect your talisman technique is so powerful. I'll try the pill again." Wen Zhao said this excitedly, looking at Hu Xingtong with eyes full of admiration and expectation. At the same time, his hands were not idle either. He gave the pill he had just obtained to his subordinates for testing.

After the results of the elixir came out, Wen Zhao was even more surprised. The elixir that Hu Xingtong casually refined had actually reached the fourth grade. Its efficacy was so strong that even a cultivator like him could not ignore it.

"Xingxing, your alchemy skills have completely surpassed those alchemy masters in the big sects!" Wen Zhao praised sincerely, and his admiration for Hu Xingtong increased a little more.

"Why don't you refine more elixirs, talismans, and the like? Oh, and formation plates. The materials you can get from these things are absolutely precious, and the value they can bring to you, and even to me, will definitely be beyond your imagination." Wen Zhao was extremely excited. He listed the profits that Hu Xingtong would bring him in the future. Just imagining it was enough to make him smile from ear to ear.

Hu Xingtong, who had just such intention, received Wen Zhao's invitation, and curled her lips slightly. She immediately took out three small bottles of elixirs that she didn't usually use from her storage ring, and took out a stack of talisman paper and placed them on the table in front of Wen Zhao.

"Is this enough to buy me for a while? If not, I'll make some now."

Wen Zhao looked at the vials and stack of talisman paper in front of him, feeling a bit dazed. He nodded and replied, "That's enough."

"You try to sell it first, and then I will ask Cang Ying to send the refined ones to me." Hu Xingtong said as he was refining the pill, doing two things at the same time without any delay.

"I feel like I'm working for you." Wen Zhao joked with a smile as he handed a storage bag to Hu Xingtong.

"What?" Hu Xingtong couldn't free his hands, so he could only take a quick glance and ask.

"I heard that Wenxiangzhai's osmanthus cake and jujube flower pastry are both delicious."

"You like to feed me very much..." Hu Xingtong smiled and accepted the gift.

"What does feeding mean?" Wen Zhao was a little confused. He didn't understand what Hu Xingtong meant, and the latter didn't want to explain, so he could only give up and stand aside, watching this man refine the pill.

……

Hu Xingtong stayed with Wen Zhao for three days, and added talisman paper, pills and formation plates to the sales in the name of Guxing. Then he returned to Fanyun Sect with the refined Xiu Ze sword.

Three and a half years later, Sun Ze had already come out of seclusion. At that time, his cultivation had broken through the late Nascent Soul stage and stopped at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

In the third year, Sun Ze also learned from Tan Luo that Hu Xingtong was in seclusion in Tianhun Sect. Thinking that his fellow disciples were scattered in various sects and the fighting power within the sect was dispersed, Sun Ze did not choose to exchange with other sects in the past three years. He stayed in Fanyun Sect, handling some affairs within the sect for Tan Luo, and waiting for Hu Xingtong's return.

To this day, there is still no news about Hu Xingtong coming out of seclusion. However, the demons far away in the Western Regions have sent news that they want to invite the champion of the Eastern Region Competition to visit the demon land, and the person who signed the invitation is the current leader of the demon clan - Zuo Ya.

So, today, in the main hall of Fanyun Sect, the leaders of the four sects and four schools as well as leaders of some major small sects gathered here to discuss countermeasures.
