Chapter 71 (1/2)

Lou Muyan took Huoxiao to the inn where the college lived, found an empty room and arranged a sound insulation array.

Then she took out Lingcha and made a pot of tea. She poured a cup for Lou mubai and Huoxiao respectively.

She handed the tea cup to Huoxiao. She asked him, ”what's your name?”

”Huoxiao.” Huoxiao stared at the golden and fragrant spirit tea with bright eyes. He picked up the tea cup and sniffed it at the tip of his nose. He was intoxicated and sipped, ”good tea!”

Lou Muyan couldn't help smoking when he saw that he had never seen anything good. Doesn't it mean that both weapon refiners and alchemists are extremely rich occupations? This man seems to have never seen the world.

”How old are you?”

”Thirty six.” Huoxiao sipped Lingcha and answered the boring question of the woman opposite.

Lou Muyan looked at a circle of hair from head to foot, covered most of his face, dressed up sloppily, and the man with some soil on his body. This untidy look doesn't look like the vitality that a man in his thirties should have.

Huoxiao also found the disdainful eyes of the woman opposite, looked down at his clothes and smiled twice: ”I'm refining a Lingbao. I ran to the market to get rid of it when I came out of the refining place, so I didn't take care of it.”

Lou Muyan nodded and continued to ask, ”are you a third grade tool refiner?”

”How do you know?” Huoxiao, who was drinking tea, raised his head fiercely and looked at Lou Muyan in surprise and doubt.

He also broke through to the third grade tool refiner last month. Other people don't know about this. How did this woman find out?

”Of course I can see it.” Lou Muyan smiled and inadvertently showed a look of self-confidence.

Huoxiao looked at the confident and flexible woman opposite and frowned, ”it's impossible. The level of the tool refiner doesn't look like it can be seen by cultivation. I don't believe it.”

”Is there a very shallow black line on the middle finger of your left hand?” Lou Muyan didn't answer.

Huoxiao immediately stretched out his left hand. Looking carefully, he found that there was a black line extending to the first joint line where the middle finger was connected to the palm of his hand. He was surprised, looked up at Lou Muyan and asked, ”I'm poisoned?”

Lou Muyan glanced at him and said, ”it's terrible to have no culture. As a tool refiner, don't you know what fire poison is?”

Although both weapon refiners and alchemists often use fire, alchemists are not easy to be poisoned by fire because the refined spirit grass can naturally counteract the toxins in the fire. Even if the fire poison is left in the body, they can refine the elixir.

The refiner often needs to refine some crystal stones or animal skins. If fire is frequently used in the refining process, Yuanli flame will absorb the residual poison of those materials and become fire poison and deposit in the body. If you don't understand it for a long time, it will bring hidden dangers to your body and even die of poisoning.

Huoxiao is not a fool either. When Lou Muyan said this, he asked, ”do you say this is the black line generated by the accumulation of fire poison when I refine magic tools? Is that how you judge me to be a third grade tool smelter?”

”Yes, you're not too stupid.” Lou Muyan chuckled, ”if the fire poison accumulated in the body of the second grade weapon refiner is not eliminated, a very shallow black line will slowly appear on the middle finger of the left hand. Before the fire poison is removed after being promoted to the third grade weapon refiner, the black line will extend to the first joint line of the middle finger.”

”What about the third grade or above?” Huoxiao asked hurriedly.

”The color of the light black line above the third grade will become darker and slowly extend upward. After the fourth grade tool refiner, if the fire poison has not been removed, the black line will directly extend to the position of the nail.”

Lou Muyan picked up the teacup and pecked it gently. He raised his eyes and said with a meaningful smile: ”if the black line extends to the position of the nail, it also means that the man's life is coming to an end.”
