Chapter 23 You don't deserve to be friends with him

"Why did you choose me to help your grandson survive the disaster?" This question was stuck in his throat, and Zhang Yan had to ask.

"The demons can't interfere in the heavenly disaster." A strange color flashed on Bai Xizhi's face, and his eyes were still staring at the sky, where thunder roared and a white wolf struggled.

"Why did you choose me?" Zhang Yan repeated again, staring at Bai Xizhi's side face, and his tone became heavy.

The bright and narrow electric arc hung on the cliff, and the hurricane raged, but it could not disperse the thick dark clouds in the air. At this moment, the atmosphere on the cliff suddenly became strange and quiet. I only heard the sound of the roaring wind, mixed with bursts of muffled thunder, and the lightning reflected on the flashing face, and suddenly disappeared.

The evil king Tuofeng next to him seemed to notice the abnormality. His pupils under his long hair shot out cold light. He glanced at Bai Xizhi, and there was a trace of evil spirits on his body.

After a long silence, Bai Xizhi turned his head, and there was no expression on his wrinkled face. He stared at Zhang Yan's eyes and said, "The man is innocent. Yes, the little old man's chosen Taoist friend is indeed selfish."

Bai Xizhi paused slightly and smiled. The white beard hanging to the ground floated around in the hurricane. "Taoist friend, if one person kills many of your descendants, will you let him go?"

"I'm sure not! The little old man chose a Taoist friend, but he just wanted to kill the Taoist friend after helping his grandson overcome the disaster. Why not kill two Taoist friends with one stone? What's more, there is a mysterious treasure in the hands of Taoist friends who are even jealous when they see it.

Bai Xizhi no longer looked at Zhang Yan and stared silently at Bai Fengzhi in the air.

After listening to this, Zhang Yan's mouth was full of bitterness. He believed that what Bai Xizhi said at this time was true. The five flavors in my heart are complicated, and there is even a chill rushing up all over my body.

Today, if Tuo Feng hadn't come, would he have died at the hands of Bai Xi? People are trembling, but I'm still a little angry...

"Zhang Yanda... kill, don't kill?" Tuo Feng stood up and faced Bai Xizhi, and his pale face was killed.

Zhang Yan was awakened by the cold and murderous sound of Tuo Feng, shook his head and said, "Let's go."

Bai Xizhi didn't seem to pay attention to Tuo Feng's undisguised killing. When he heard the words, he said, "Taoist friends, in fact, we can be friends."

"Friend? No, it's okay not to get this kind of friendship!" Zhang Yan took back the Yixuan Bell, which turned into Xuanjia and clung to Bai Feng's body. He turned around and floated away.

After Zhang Yan left, Tuo Feng said in a hoarse and cold voice, "You don't deserve to be his friend."

"What do you say?"

Bai Xizhi waved his hand and shot a magnificent firepower into a huge thunderbolt in the air. After blocking the strongest blow of the third thunderstorm for Bai Feng, he turned his head and looked at Tuo Feng. Of course, he also saw that the young man with a pale face in front of him was not a human or a demon. He seemed to have no physical soul, but his cultivation was not weaker than himself at all.

Tuo Feng shook his head and didn't answer. He just stared at Bai Xizhi with sensant eyes and said hoarsely, "If he promises to let me kill you, in three moves, I will definitely destroy your flesh and burn your soul. You really don't deserve to be his friend..."

Before the words fell, it still lingered in Bai Xi's ears, and Tuo Feng had suddenly disappeared on the cliff.

Bai Xizhi was stunned for a long time, sighed gently, and looked at his grandson who had successfully survived the disaster.

Bai Fengzhi turned into a handsome and arrogant teenager. He came to Bai Xizhi, clenched his fist excitedly and shouted, "Grandpa, I feel that there is such a strong power. Do you think I can defeat that human?"

"Who?"

"Zhang Yan!"

Bai Xizhi sighed again, turned his head and walked down the cliff, and muttered, "Grandpa doesn't even deserve to be someone else's friend. You can't compare with others..."

Bai Fengzhi looked at the faraway grandfather doubtfully. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He seemed to have aged a lot in an instant...

At high altitude, Zhang Yan and Tuofeng flew side by side. The strong wind blew and his clothes were hunting, but they could not sweep away a trace of melancholy between Zhang Yan's eyebrows.

"Why did you come here?"

"It's the order of Lord Li."

"Do you want to come?"

"I don't want to."

"This is the truth. No one wants a guy in the late stage of Yuanying to listen to a hairy boy in the early stage of Jindan."

“......”

"Who are you and Li Yang?"

"You will know later."

"What if I order you to?"

“......”

"Well, I won't ask. I'm a stupid boy who has been cheated countless times and still believes in promises. I'm not qualified."

"You're not stupid, but your strength is too poor."

“......”

In the cold building city, Zhang Yan took Tuo Feng to Zhang's leather goods shop. Despite Wu Cangyi's shocked face after seeing Tuo Feng, he walked to the third floor.

On the third floor, Li Shuizhen is still sitting in a large pile of materials doing an intermediate array of mage's internal affairs. Seeing Tuo Feng, he was only slightly surprised and buried his head in the material. From then on, he could see that this guy was worthy of being a dedicated array maniac and living happily in his own array world.

In fact, Zhang Yan is still very envious of this guy. He sits on his favorite thing every day and is respected and not infliable of being disturbed by others. He is simply an immortal.

After consulting Tuo Feng's opinion, Zhang Yan left the silent guy who ignored the secular waves on the third floor. Seeing him sitting cross-legged in the corner and meditating, Zhang Yan was relieved, at least he would not disturb himself.

Li Yang sent such a strong man to his side. His care goes without saying that Zhang Yan was grateful and curious about why Li Yang was so good to him.

Of course, he will not forget that a hundred years later, he will rush to the northern frontier to break the soul desert and make an appointment to leave.

Li Shuizhen did not ask Zhang Yan what he had done when he went out all day. When Zhang Yan sat down and began to refine materials with a virtual array method, he finally raised his thin cheeks, looked at Zhang Yan with excitement and said, "This whole day, I have sorted out and sorted the remaining materials, and the skin and herbs have been refined. Next, I think we should start with semi-finished magic weapons and all kinds of ores. What do you think?"

"It's just as you said."

"Well, you choose the same. Let's start refining. I'm looking forward to what miracles will happen next." Li Shui Chan smiled and rubbed his hands, with a crazy look on his face.

Zhang Yan stretched out his hand and fiddled with the various ores on the ground, restrained his mind, threw away his distracting thoughts, and said with a little, "Let's start with the ore."

"Good." Li Shuiqi brewed for a moment, and his face became serious, explaining in detail what he had to do next.

Ore is similar to spiritual stone. It is derived from mountains, rocks, plants and trees. It is also divided into five elements and is one of the main materials for refining magic weapons. All kinds of metals that are commonly seen are extracted from ores.

The division of the ore order is carried out according to the order of the magic weapon. For example, the ore used to make the magic weapon is called the first grade ore, the ore to make the spiritual weapon is called the second grade ore, and so on. The treasure is the third grade ore, the Xuanbao is the fourth grade ore, and the ore needed to make the magic weapon of the spiritual weapon is collectively classified as the best ore. .

The refining of ore is the work of the refiner. Like herbs, if a high-quality ore is refined by the array mage with a virtual array, its effect can also be exerted by 101%, that is, the purity and quantity of refining are 10 times, ensuring that no resources are wasted. Unlike pharmaceutical herbs, refining ores is not afraid of failure. If it fails, it can be done again. However, the virtual array for refining ore is relatively troublesome, and the workload is very large. The virtual array is called Shihai hook sinking...

Most of the ores sent by Hou Jingqi, the patriarch of Baihong, and Xiao Changfeng, the patriarch of Yujing, are second grade, and only a small part of the third grade. It can also be seen that the higher the order of ore, the rarer it is. Regardless of this, Zhang Yan took a night to understand the three-level array called Shihai hook sinking, and then began another round of refining life with the help of Li Shuizhen.

Refining animal skin is a nameless confinement array that Zhang Yan himself explored. In the eyes of Li Shuizhen, an intermediate array mage, he also had to praise Zhang Yan's creativity. Only by learning this array from Zhang Yan was satisfied and looking ecstatic, although this confinement array is only two It's just level.

Pharmaceutical grass is a three-level array taught by Li Shui-cicada. In Zhang Yan's hands, he just sketched him in the void with a virtual situation.

Now, it is time to start refining ore. Through his previous experience in refining animal skins and herbs, Zhang Yan has already mastered the fingering method of condensing virtual arrays. He is very familiar with it. Between hooks and strokes, it is smooth and cold, without any obstacles.

With such a foundation, when he held a secondary ore called Xingyao Fu Stone in his hand, he did not hesitate. He waved his fingers like a painter dipped in ink and naturally drew a mysterious track in the air. His fingertips spew golden light, and wisps of golden light winding on the track.

Although Zhang Yan waved his fingers to sketch the virtual array countless times, Li Shuichan did not have a trace of disgust. Instead, his eyes were brighter and brighter one after another, and each time he fell into a state of madness as if he was possessed. At this time, his eyes did not blink, but his mind followed Zhang Yan's fingertips in the void, swimming in the charming trajectory. If he can make a sound, Li Shui Chan will never mind venting the excitement in his heart with the biggest shout.

The Shihai hook is very complex, more than ten times more complicated than the spring wind and rain array. Not only is it reflected in the composition of more lines, but also the twists and turns of the trajectory and the composition of the pattern have more subtle and complex changes. Even with Zhang Yan's strong divine power, it barely condensed a stone after three failures. The sea hook sinks into a virtual array.

Looking at the virtual array that disappeared on the surface of the starlight flint without any accident, Zhang Yan and Li Shuizhen breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

The two did not notice that when they were focused on refining the virtual array, Tuo Feng, whose faces were as pale as paper, stood behind them at some point.

His eyes were bright and restrained, as if he was afraid of disturbing Zhang Yan, but when he saw the golden Buddha spewing out of Zhang Yan's hand, he couldn't help but gushed out a trace of shock on his face.

After a long time, Tuo Feng recovered, took a complicated look at Zhang Yan, turned around and disappeared silently in the secret room.

And Zhang Yan and Li Shuicicada were not aware of all this at all.
