Under the guidance of the young man, the black-scaled horse pulled Zhang Ling around the Immortal City for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense. They stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated shop. No cultivators were entering or leaving this shop, and its business didn't seem to be doing well. There wasn't even a signboard on it; only a wooden sign stood beside it, with the words 'Refining Room' and other words written on it. "Immortal Master, we've arrived. Should we go over?" the young man carefully reminded him. Looking at the dilapidated storefront, Zhang Ling was a little doubtful, but he still nodded. The shop wasn't big, only about three rooms and a backyard. The two walked into the front hall, where a crew-cut young man was, who first looked at Zhang Ling and joked. "San'er, you're here again. The person you brought last time wasn't good enough, huh? This time..." "Haha, Mr. Tong is joking. This lord..." Zhang Ling ignored their conversation and looked around the hall. Besides a few tables in the middle, there were several black iron shelves on both sides, on which some magical artifacts were placed. After scanning with his divine sense, he was surprised. There were more than thirty magical artifacts, most of which were of middle to high quality, and not even one low-quality artifact.

And on the most conspicuous shelf, there were three magical artifacts with shimmering spiritual light, namely a knife, a sword, and a red longbow. They were all top-grade magical artifacts. At this time, the young man turned his head to look at him a few times, and casually asked, "Is this guest buying a magical artifact, or would you like to order one?" The young man had a fake smile on his face, nervously glanced at Zhang Ling, and then said to the young man, "Mr. Tong, this lord wants to repair a top-grade magical artifact." Hearing the young man's words, the young man said without thinking, "Repair a magical artifact? What? Repair a top-grade magical artifact?" This person also seemed to see Zhang Ling's strength. His face stiffened, and then he quickly cupped his hands. "Senior, please forgive me. I was blind just now and didn't see Senior's strength. Please forgive me." As soon as Zhang Ling came in, he could see that the young man was a cultivator on the ninth level of Qi Refining. "Can you really repair top-grade magical artifacts here?" He asked in a soft voice. The man was stunned, and then quickly introduced. "That's right. Although the shop is not big, we have a refiner who can refine top-grade magical artifacts. Repairing magical artifacts is naturally not a problem." "Good." Zhang Ling raised his hand, and a wooden box flew out of his storage bag from his waist and landed on the rosewood table next to him. Seeing this, the crew-cut young man didn't waste any words, opened the box, and saw a soft armor inside. This person took out the soft armor and looked at it. The soft armor had dense red scales. But it only had half of it, and there were many scattered red scales in the box. The young man looked at it a few times, and then politely replied to Zhang Ling; "Senior, this soft armor is mostly damaged. It is a bit difficult to repair. Not only must you find similar scales, but you must also re-refine it." "Of course, similar scales can also be refined with other materials to repair it, but soft armor, this kind of hidden defensive magical artifact, must also have both softness and defense, so there are certain requirements for the materials. And the cost will not be too low." "After all, Senior, this inner armor is a top-grade magical artifact. If you can find materials from snake-like monsters, it will be much easier to repair, but it must be scales from a first-order late-stage monster."

"And now our shop doesn't have this kind of material. If Senior wants to repair the soft armor, you have to wait for some time." The young man explained while looking at the red phosphorus software. "Snake-like monster?" Zhang Ling's heart moved, and he waved his hand and took out a white jade box. "How about this monster material?" The young man quickly took the box and opened it. Inside was a complete black snake skin folded. There was also a hideous snake head on it. "Such a complete snake skin is very rare, Senior, please come inside. As for whether these materials can repair the soft armor, my granduncle has to take a look." The young man added, "My granduncle is the refiner of this shop. Senior, please." Then this person led him towards the back of the hall, while Zhang San stayed outside to wait. After passing through a short corridor, the two came to a stone house. The stone house door was open, and the whole body was dark green, which was obviously built on purpose. As soon as he came here, he felt a burst of hot fire scattered on the stone house. "So it's Daoist friend who came here. I, Tong Shan, am the owner of this shop." A bald old man with a bare upper body also walked out of the stone house. "Hehe, Daoist Tong is polite." Zhang Ling could see at a glance that this person was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his cultivation had reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. After the two exchanged a few words, the young man told the old man about Zhang Ling's request. Then the old man directly checked the black snake skin in front of the stone house. "Huh, this is a black horned snake, which is very rare, and it seems to have been eroded by demonic energy." "Demonic energy erosion." Zhang Ling couldn't help but ask. "Daoist friend must have just come to Immortal City recently. There are some monsters eroded by demonic energy near these Twelve Immortal Cities. And these monsters affected by demonic energy are called demonic beasts by the alien demons. They are very common in the Black Cloud Desert and are much more manic than ordinary monsters." "I see." "This snake skin is complete, and with some other materials, it is enough to repair Daoist friend's red scale inner armor. Looking at the red scales on this inner armor, it is also made of similar materials. It seems to be made of the hide of a flame snake." The old man carefully looked at the soft armor and black skin for a few times before making a conclusion. Hearing the old man say that he could repair the inner armor, Zhang Ling was also overjoyed. "It's good to be able to repair it. I wonder how much it will cost." Seeing him ask, the old man thought for a while and said, "Although there is a whole snake skin, some golden silkworm silk and other materials must be added to repair it successfully. If Daoist friend doesn't have these materials, I happen to have some here. In this way, the cost after the repair will be eight hundred spirit stones." Hearing this, Zhang Ling frowned. Generally, top-grade magical artifacts are between 1,500 and 2,000 spirit stones, and defensive magical artifacts will be more expensive, but they will not exceed 3,000 spirit stones. Although this inner armor is damaged, most of it is still intact, and he has taken out the main materials for repair. In this way, eight hundred spirit stones is really a bit expensive. "Eight hundred spirit stones, I absolutely have no intention of deceiving Daoist friend. You can ask at other shops, and the price will definitely be higher." The old man seemed to see his hesitation and said so, but he inadvertently glanced at the black snake skin and suddenly said. "Daoist friend, this snake skin is complete. It seems that you killed this monster with one blow. I wonder if you have left the snake gall, snake bones, and other things." Zhang Ling frowned, wondering what this person meant by asking these things, but he still replied, "The snake gall and other materials are also in my hands." "In this case, I can also use these materials to refine a special magical artifact for you. And this software only needs half of the snake skin to repair it. As for the missing materials, I can also make up for it. As long as Daoist friend uses the remaining half of the snake skin to mortgage the refining cost after the refining is successful." The old man suddenly said these words, and Zhang Ling also became interested. Then the two discussed the specific details of refining the magical artifact.

A full half an hour later, he left the small shop under the respectful送 (sòng - escort/see off) of the young man. As long as he comes here again in four days, he can get the repaired soft armor and another magical artifact. Originally, the old man said that it would take more than ten days to refine the magical artifact, but he would leave this place in a few days, and he discussed it with this person. In the end, the old man seemed to care about the half of the snake skin, so he reduced the refining time to four days. ……
