Shen Ruiling looked at the young man who was still looking forward to a "happy" life in the future and thought to himself:

    "Fortunately, he is only obsessed with refining tools, otherwise he really can''t attract people."

    You should know that weapon refiners are as popular as alchemists. What''s more, this man is a second-class top-grade weapon refiner. Generally, these people have been attracted by other forces for a long time, and he can''t turn at all.

    The family has a lot of second-order materials every year. Because the family only has a second-order medium grade tool smelter, it can only be sold to Qingyun gate at a low price. Now my family also has a second-class top-grade tool refiner. Some materials can be processed by myself. The refined magic tools can be sold in Hushang square and Linhai County Square.

    In this way, the annual income of spirit stones is also very considerable. Some second-order materials can only be worth one or two hundred spirit stones, but four or five hundred after being refined into magic tools is no problem.

    Shen Ruiling was thankful for his previous insight, but in fact, the young man also meant to repay his kindness.

    Although he is young, he still looks timid and shy. But he knew that without Shen Ruiling''s trust and support, he might not be able to refine more than second-class magic tools in his life.

    Although people all over the world say that sanxiu is fickle and righteous, and is mercenary, there are also many people who know how to repay kindness.

    "Well, since you agree to come to my family, we are a family. How do you like my brother? "

    "Little brother, it''s better to obey orders than to be respectful." The young man bent down and worshipped.

    "Brother Zhao Xian, please get up quickly. Don''t come between you and me. You clean up, too. I''ll show you to my grandpa. " Shen Ruiling picked him up and said.

    Zhao Jie looked at his worn and dirty Taoist robe and blushed. He used to dress only for refining utensils and didn''t care about his own dress. Now it''s unreasonable to go to see his boss and dress like that again.

    "Brother Shen, can you lend me a Taoist robe?" Zhao Jie was also embarrassed. He had nothing but his forging hammer.

    Shen Ruiling handed him a Taoist robe,

    "Put it on and wash your face again. I''ll wait for you outside."

    ……

    Zhao Jie came out and his whole body changed greatly. He wore a bun on his head and his face was white. Wearing a blue Taoist robe, he had a scholar''s breath. Shen Ruiling smiled and said:

    "It''s kind of like a Confucian scholar."

    "Brother, don''t make fun of me." Zhao Jie blushed again.

    ……

    "Third uncle, I''m looking for Grandpa." When Shen Ruiling entered the shop, he saw his third uncle turning over the account book on the counter.

    "Ruiling, the second elder is in the inner hall. You haven''t seen your accomplishments these days. It seems that you have improved a lot. " Shen Jinghong looked at Shen Ruiling and said.

    "It''s the same as before. You''re busy slowly. I''ll go first if I have something to do with Grandpa."

    Through the dazzling shelves, Zhao Jie was dazzled. He saw several materials of second-order monsters, and his eyes lit up. He wanted to put them in his bag right away.

    "Well, don''t look. It''s all yours." Shen Ruiling is also helpless. The goods are really crazy for refining tools.

    Shen Ruiling took Zhao Jie and walked to the inner hall.

    "Is this the second-class top-grade craftsman?" Shen huanqun looked surprised. Although Shen Ruiling had told him that the tool smelter was very young, he was surprised by Zhao Jie''s age.

    It''s no wonder Shen huanqun. Zhao Jie was a few years younger than Shen Ruiling. He just changed his whole body and looked younger.

    "Yes, this is the second-class top-grade weapon refiner I mentioned to you." Shen Ruiling looked at his grandpa and couldn''t help laughing.

    Zhao Jie looked at the kind old man and bowed:

    "Junior Zhao Jie, I''ve seen the elder."

    "You''re welcome. I''m a little embarrassed to see you so young." Shen huanqun smiled and said.

    "Xiaoyou is so young that he is a second-class top-grade tool refiner. I don''t know where to learn from?" Shen huanqun asked as soon as the wind turned.

    "The elder joked. Both the younger generation and the master are scattered practitioners. It happened that my master could point the way of refining tools and passed it on to me. I have some hobbies for this refining tool." Zhao Jie was not afraid of being born, so he chatted with Shen huanqun.

    "Who is your master?"

    "Family teacher Qi Hao."

    "It''s Qi Daoyou''s disciple. Your master and I have dealt with each other several times.

    It''s a pity that Taoist Qi has such ambitions, but he still died in building the foundation. " Shen huanqun said in a sad tone.

    He himself is also a monk who practices great and complete Qi. I''m afraid their biggest wish is to have a glimpse of the way of building a foundation. Shen huanqun has been practicing Qi for more than 20 years.

    When he was expected to build the foundation, the patriarch Shen huanchi had just built the foundation successfully. In exchange for the foundation Dan, the family not only used the contacts left by Shen Yucang, but also took out tens of thousands of spirit stones.

    Since the last literati friar of the family took office, the family''s life has been getting worse and worse. Except for the spiritual field at the foot of the mountain, the family has no source of income. It is completely empty.

    In order to raise a Jidan, the family has been overwhelmed. It is impossible to raise another Jidan.

    There was no holy power riot when the foundation pill was built to reconcile the breakthrough. The spirit of the riot was instantly filled with seven meridians, eight veins and flesh. 90% of the monks died at this time. Only those 10% of monks can be promoted and build a foundation smoothly by chance.

    Shen huanqun didn''t have much confidence in himself, so he didn''t dare to take risks to build a foundation. He was just a second-class alchemist. Without the support of his family, he could not save enough spirit stones to get the foundation pill.

    Shen huanqun thus missed the opportunity to build the foundation. Although he has given up the idea of building the foundation now, it is sad to think that his friends who have dealt with several times sit on the road of promoting the foundation.

    Zhao Jie looked at the old man in front of him and looked sad for his master''s sitting. He hurriedly said:

    "The elder doesn''t need to be like this. The family and teachers are ready to become benevolent if they don''t succeed. He yearns for the road wholeheartedly. He said that if the foundation fails, the way to eliminate the body and die is his best way to sit down."

    "Well, let''s not mention the past."

    "Since you are Qi Daoyou''s apprentice, you are also our Shen family''s tool refining guest. I''m the master. How about giving you 500 spirit stones and three bottles of Peiyuan pills every year? " Shen huanqun asked.

    Zhao Jie was immediately stupid. He had never seen so many spirit stones. All of a sudden, he was very happy,

    "Do as your predecessors say."

    "Well, I''ll ask someone to take you to the backyard later. There''s enough aura for you to cultivate. When I don''t refine pills, the fire room will be given to you." Shen huanqun smiled.

    "Old three, come here."

    Shen Ruiling saw the third uncle hurried in,

    "The second elder has something to do with me?" Shen Jinghong asked.

    "This is a second-class top-grade tool refiner newly recruited by the family. You have someone arrange a room for him."

    Shen Jinghong has been a shopkeeper for so many years and has never seen such a young second-order tool refiner, but he doesn''t dare to listen to Shen huanqun.

    "OK, I''ll arrange it now."

    "This way, please." Shen Jinghong is worthy of being an old hand in business. Even if he doubts, he also shows great respect.

    Seeing Shen Jinghong taking people down, Shen huanqun turned to Shen Ruiling sitting there and said:

    "Why didn''t you speak just now?"

    "You''ve asked so clearly. What can I say?"

    "Do you really know Zhao Jie, his master?" Shen Ruiling said suspiciously.

    "Well, I called several times. His master is also a second-class tool refiner. He has done business with me several times. Last time he came to the store and sold several second-order magic tools. Unexpectedly, he was trying to build a foundation. " Shen huanqun recalled.

    "I''m afraid Qi Hao didn''t know that his apprentice was a second-class and top-grade tool smelter. The apprentice and his master are two extremes. One is only for cultivation, and the weapon refining technology is only a second-class middle-class weapon refiner all his life. The other one is for the sake of refining utensils. All cultivation accomplishments have fallen behind. " Shen huanqun said with a smile.

    "You should try your best to make friends with him. His origin should be true, and I doubt that his weapon refining inheritance is unusual. It''s best to let him join our family."

    "Grandchildren know what''s at stake."

    "Here you are." Shen huanqun said and handed Shen Ruiling a jade bottle.

    Shen Ruiling opened the bottle cap, and a smell of medicine went into his nostrils. In an instant, he felt that the bottleneck was a little loose. A burst of joy in my heart, breaking barrier pill.

    "This time, there are four pills of Chengdan, which is more than I thought. Here are two. I''ll replace the rest with family good work." Shen huanqun looked at his grandson and said happily.

    Shen Ruiling put the jade bottle into her sleeve and said:

    "Grandson thanked Grandpa."

    "Practice well. I can''t help you too much now. Everything depends on yourself. Grandpa is old. Now he is satisfied to see that you can build a foundation. " Shen huanqun said calmly.

    "My grandson believes he can." Shen Ruiling vowed.

    "I don''t doubt your heart to the Tao, but I''m afraid you need some chance to go longer. Go ahead and get ready to break through to the eighth floor. " Shen huanqun sighed.

    "Grandson, leave."
