„Brother Shi, good news!” Yu Yì entered the room, exciting saying. “石兄,好消息！”余意走进了屋子,略带兴奋的说道。 „Had the news of lava pond?” Shi Mu asked. “可是有熔岩池的消息了？”石牧问道。 „I inquired, the City Lord mansion currently does not have outside the unnecessary lava pond to rent, but I asked that deacon of today's Immortal Fire Residence in scarlet flame palace, in more than ten lava ponds under Immortal Fire Residence name , because the underground conflagration lineage/vein are not steady, without constructing Room refining, at present is vacant.” Yu Yì then said. “我打听了一圈,城主府目前没有多余的熔岩池外租,不过我问了今天仙火居在赤炎殿的那个执事,仙火居名下的十几个熔岩池中,有一个因为地下火脉不稳,没有建造成炼器,目前是空置着。”余意接着说道。 „Does that Immortal Fire Residence the lava pond, consider to hire?” Shi Mu eye one bright, asked. “那仙火居的这处熔岩池,是否考虑出租？”石牧眼睛一亮,问道。 „That deacon said can consider, but as exchange, but also needs to satisfy their condition.” Yu Yì said. “那个执事说可以考虑,不过作为交换,还需要满足他们一个条件。”余意说道。 „What condition, mentioned listens.” Shi Mu asked that in the heart actually relaxes. “什么条件,说来听听。”石牧问道,心中却松了口气。 Having the condition is the good deed, this then had the breakthrough mouth. 有条件是好事,这样便有突破口了。 „Needs Fire Crown Monster Snake monster core.” Yu Yì hesitant, said. “需要一颗火冠妖蛇的妖丹。”余意犹豫了一下,说道。 „Fire Crown Monster Snake?” The Shi Mu facial expression is startled, he has not heard this Monster Beast. “火冠妖蛇？”石牧神情一怔,他没有听说过这种妖兽。 „This is Earth Rank Monster Beast that occupies in 100,000 volcano deep places, is mainly its occupying valley often the hot miasma fills the air, the common person is unable to approach. However, Brother Shi you have the method to restrain hot miasma poisonous mist, sneaks hot miasma valley should not to have the issue.” Yu Yì said. “这是一种盘踞在十万火山深处的地阶妖兽,主要是其盘踞的山谷往往火瘴弥漫,寻常人根本无法靠近。不过,石兄你有法子克制火瘴毒雾,潜入火瘴山谷应该没有问题。”余意说道。 Shi Mu nods slowly, has own left hand, hot miasma poisonous mist too has not in a big way threatened to him actually, but this environment is inevitably advantageous regarding Fire Attribute Monster Beast, but oneself are more careful, looks for Initial Stage Earth Rank Fire Crown Monster Snake should the issue is not big. 石牧缓缓点了点头,有自己的左手在,火瘴毒雾对他倒是没有太大威胁,不过这种环境对于火属性妖兽必然有利,不过自己小心一些,找一头地阶初期的火冠妖蛇应该问题不大。 „Why does the Immortal Fire Residence person want that Fire Crown Monster Snake monster core to make what?” Shi Mu slightly hesitates, opens the mouth to ask. “仙火居的人为何要那火冠妖蛇的妖丹做什么？”石牧略一沉吟,开口问道。 „This Brother Shi can feel relieved, actually this matter in Scarlet Flame City is not considered as what secret, west Immortal Fire Residence Duke gentleman's son had the serious illness a while ago, needed 100,000 volcano monster core in fierce Monster Beast to direct to be able as the medicine to maintain a livelihood. Immortal Fire Residence before several months, then already posts a reward, anybody can take this monster core, can obtain the Immortal Fire Residence generous recompense. I also thought that by Brother Shi strength, should be able to obtain that Fire Crown Monster Snake monster core, this whereabouts Immortal Fire Residence deacon inquiry rents the matter of lava pond.” Yu Yì as if saw the worry of Shi Mu, said. “这个石兄可以放心,其实此事在赤炎城也不算是什么秘密,仙火居的公西先生之子前段时间得了重病,需要一种十万火山中的厉害妖兽的妖丹作为药引才能活命。仙火居数月之前便已经悬赏,任何人能够取到此妖丹,都能获得仙火居的重赏。我也是觉得以石兄的实力,应该能够取得那火冠妖蛇的妖丹,这才去向仙火居执事询问租借熔岩池的事情。”余意似乎看出了石牧的顾虑,说道。 „So that's how it is, for my matter, made Brother Yu take the trouble actually.” Shi Mu hears this words, complexion one slow. “原来如此,为了我的事情,倒是让余兄费心了。”石牧听闻此话,脸色一缓。 „Brother Shi was polite.” Yu Yì beckons with the hand to say hastily. “石兄客气了。”余意连忙摆手道。 „This matter is significant, not does not believe Brother Yu below, but I hope that spoke face-to-face directly with the Immortal Fire Residence person.” Shi Mu said. “不过此事重大,在下并非不相信余兄,不过我希望和仙火居的人直接面谈一下。”石牧说道。 „This naturally, since Brother Shi intends to receive this duty, I immediately with the person contact of Immortal Fire Residence.” On the Yu Yì face happy saying, stood, hurriedly and walked. “这个当然,既然石兄有意接下这个任务,我立刻和仙火居的人联络。”余意脸上一喜的说道,站了起来,风风火火的又走了出去。 „Shi Tou (stone), this Yu Yì to your matter also is really warm-hearted.” Looks that the Yu Yì form goes out of the yard, Cai'er saying that if has referred. “石头,这个余意对你的事情还真是热心。”看着余意的身影走出小院,彩儿若有所指的说道。 „Perhaps I completed this task, he can also receive what advantage, but this also indifferent, so long as can rent a lava pond smoothly, this is the minor matter.” Shi Mu said. “或许我完成了这个任务,他也能从中拿到什么好处吧,不过这个也无所谓,只要能顺利租下一个熔岩池,这都是小事。”石牧说道。 Shi Mu is saying, turned the hand to take out just that ancient book, continued to glance through. 石牧说着,翻手取出了刚刚那本典籍,继续翻阅了起来。 ...... …… The 2nd day early morning, Shi Mu and Yu Yì then arrived at an inner city High Street. 第二日一大早,石牧和余意便来到了内城一处繁华街道。 By the street is the big store, on the street the pedestrian is continuous, two people in front of five building gorgeous garret construction. 街道两旁都是高大的商铺,街上行人络绎不绝,两人在一座五层楼的华美阁楼建筑门前。 The garret constructs red tile white wall, the front door opens wide, the entrance hall is broad, the seemingly unusual atmosphere, in the gate is hanging a black bottom gold/metal character big plaque, above writes „Immortal Fire Residence” three large characters. 阁楼建筑红瓦白墙,大门敞开,门厅宽广,看上去非常大气,门上挂着一块黑底金字的大匾,上面写着“仙火居”三个大字。 In this High Street, this Immortal Fire Residence store also has a liking a crane among chickens feeling. 在这条繁华街道上,这个仙火居商铺也有一种鹤立鸡群之感。 Shi Mu and Yu Yì in an entrance slightly stop, then took a step. 石牧和余意在门口略一停顿,便迈步走了进去。 In the garret is a large-scale main hall, the area is broad, the length and breadth is 20-30 zhang (3.33 m) fully, inside placed rows of white jade racks, above is placing various rays of light glittering weapons, foot have several hundred, impressively each is Magic Tool, seeming like above middle level. 阁楼之中是一个大型厅堂,面积非常宽广,长宽足有20-30丈,里面摆放了一排排白玉架子,上面摆放着各种光芒闪烁的武器,足有数百件,赫然每一个都是法器,看起来都是中阶以上。 In the shop is flourishing, by each rack is standing a azure clothes aide, is explaining on the rack various Magic Tool performance fit and unfit quality. 店内生意兴隆,每一个架子旁都站着一个青衣侍从,讲解着架子上各种法器的性能优劣。 Shi Mu inhaled cold air lightly, in the heart sighed the Immortal Fire Residence big writing skill secretly. 石牧轻吸了一口凉气,心中暗暗感叹仙火居大大手笔。 „Two Senior, what Magic Tool but wants?

Yesterday you did not say that found the expert, can 50% assurances take Fire Crown Monster Snake monster core?” “余兄,这是怎么回事？昨日你不是说找到了高手,有50%把握可以取到火冠妖蛇的妖丹？” „Below how dare nonsense, this Fellow Daoist Shi below good friend, cultivation base, although only then Xiantian Late Stage, but strength is powerful, yesterday personally saw below, he easily struck to kill a scarlet wing tiger monster single-handedly. Moreover Brother Shi also has the method to restrain hot miasma poisonous mist, decides however can successfully complete the task.” Yu Yì quickly said. “在下岂敢胡言,这位石道友是在下好友,修为虽然只有先天后期,但是实力强大,昨日在下亲眼所见,他单枪匹马轻易击杀了一头赤翼虎妖。而且石兄还有手段可以克制火瘴毒雾,定然能够顺利完成任务。”余意急忙说道。 „Struck to kill the scarlet wing tiger monster!” Heard this words, black-robe old man and scarlet robe middle-aged person reckless Wang. “击杀了赤翼虎妖！”听闻此话,黑袍老者和赤袍中年人胡望了一眼。 „This can Fellow Daoist , what have to prove?” The scarlet robe middle-aged person looked that changed several points to the Shi Mu vision, asked. “这位道友,可有什么能够证明的？”赤袍中年人看向石牧的目光变了几分,问道。 Shi Mu has not spoken, waves, before the body, had/left scarlet red monster core of fist size, sends out the intermittent powerful Origin Energy fluctuation, is scarlet wing tiger monster monster core. 石牧也没说话,一挥手,身前多出了一个拳头大小的赤红色妖丹,散发出阵阵强大的元气波动,正是赤翼虎妖的妖丹。 black-robe old man two people of complexion slightly change, but the brow of black-robe old man tight wrinkle has not loosened. 黑袍老者二人脸色微微一变,不过黑袍老者紧皱的眉头并没有松开。 „Even if there is monster core, cannot show that is your excellency strikes to kill.” black-robe old man asked. “就算有妖丹,也不能证明是阁下击杀的吧。”黑袍老者问道。 Shi Mu chuckle, the intention moved, stimulated within the body the strength of Totem, powerful aura sent out from him. 石牧轻笑一声,心念一动,激发了体内的图腾之力,一股强大气息从他身上散发而出。 Of aura, was the Earth Rank level impressively. 气息之强,赫然达到了地阶层次。 „Loses the respect, originally your excellency is also Earth Rank exists, was the old man is mistaken.” On the black-robe old man face the optional facial expression does not see immediately, said submissively. “失敬,原来阁下也是地阶存在,是老夫看走眼了。”黑袍老者脸上随意的神情顿时不见,拱手道。 Yu Yì is dumbfounded, looks at Shi Mu dull. 余意目瞪口呆,呆呆看着石牧。 Shi Mu gave his shock too to be really many for these days, but its before also hid strength unexpectedly. 石牧这几天给他的震惊实在太多,但是其之前竟还隐藏了实力。 „Duke west mister was polite, in the next ordinary day custom restraining aura, but also please should not be offended.” Shi Mu said. “公西先生客气了,在下平日习惯收敛气息,还请不要见怪。”石牧说道。 „Hehe, this is the way things should be, is not improper.” black-robe old man beckons with the hand, said. “呵呵,这是人之常情,并无不妥。”黑袍老者摆了摆手,说道。 „But, secret technique real Gao Ming of Fellow Daoist Shi concealing aura, the old man self-examined that the strength of induction also calculates weakly, unexpectedly had not detected completely.” black-robe old man deeply looked at Shi Mu one immediately, said. “不过,石道友隐匿气息的秘术真的高明,老夫自问感应之力还算不弱,竟然完全没有发觉。”黑袍老者随即深深看了石牧一眼,说道。 „Duke west mister overpraised.

Around old men already sent several groups of experts, but this snake is quite sly, the additional getting angry miasma reason, does not have a success, several Fellow Daoist fell from the sky in inside.” black-robe old man sighed. “老夫这些时日一直派人在十万火山中探寻,上个月终于在一处火瘴山谷中找到了一头地阶初期的火冠妖蛇。老夫前后已经派了数批高手,不过此蛇颇为狡猾,加上火瘴缘故,无一成功,还有几位道友陨落在了里面。”黑袍老者叹道。 The Shi Mu brow tip selects, has taken jade slip, pastes on forehead, Divine Sense permeating in. 石牧眉梢一挑,拿过玉简,贴在额头上,神识渗入其中。 In jade slip is a map of 100,000 volcano, inside labelled a place. 玉简中是一副十万火山的地图,里面标注了一个地方。 Shi Mu already had studied the information of many related 100,000 volcano over the two days, the maps of 100,000 volcanos have naturally also looked, this position is away from Scarlet Flame City place a several thousand li (0.5 km) away, already was 100,000 volcano deep places, this Master Gong Xi can find there fortunately. 石牧这两天已经研究过不少有关十万火山的情报,十万火山的地图自然也看过,这个位置是距离赤炎城数千里外的一处地方,已经是十万火山深处了,亏得这个公西大师能够找到那里。 „Since the understood position, then goes below this, one week later decides however brings that Fire Crown Monster Snake monster core to come back.” Shi Mu received jade slip, said. “既然知道了位置,在下这便前去,一周后定然带着那火冠妖蛇的妖丹回来。”石牧收起了玉简,说道。 „Fellow Daoist Shi, if really can bring back to monster core, the old man complies with the agreement absolutely, rents to Fellow Daoist to use for five years the lava pond of Immortal Fire Residence hanger-on, the rent only receives half.” In the black-robe old man look reveals to hope rays of light of wing, facial expression saying with deep veneration. “石道友若是真能带回妖丹,老夫绝对遵从协议,将仙火居门下的一个熔岩池租给道友使用五年,租金只收一半。”黑袍老者眼神中露出希翼的光芒,神情肃然的说道。 „Good, said it and meant it.” Shi Mu look one happy, said. “好,一言为定。”石牧眼神一喜,说道。 Shi Mu said goodbye to leave quickly, went out of Immortal Fire Residence with Yu Yì. 石牧很快告辞离开,和余意一起走出了仙火居。 „Brother Yu, then planned to embark below this, these made you take the trouble on the 2nd.” Went out of Immortal Fire Residence, Shi Mu said to Yu Yì. “余兄,在下这便打算出发了,这两日让你费心了。”走出了仙火居,石牧对余意说道。 „Stone......
