"Hee hee." Shui Muhua let out a proud laugh, then leaned down to kiss Jiang Ping'an's mouth, officially taking down Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an probably knew Shui Muhua's intention. He suddenly covered his mouth with his hand, just in time to block the red lips that Shui Muhua kissed, and then acted as if he was about to vomit.

Seeing that Jiang Ping'an might be about to vomit, Shui Muhua dared to forcefully kiss her, so she quickly got off Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an took the opportunity to get out of bed and rushed out of the room.

Shui Muhua didn't follow him out. She sat on the bed, stroking her long hair with a smile, waiting for Jiang Ping'an to come back.

Jiang Ping'an After rushing out of the room, of course he didn't vomit, but took the opportunity to leave the inn.

He knows too little about Shui Muhua, and Shui Muhua is also a witch and is unwilling to have a relationship easily, even if he can take the opportunity to use Ode to Yin-Yang Bliss on Shui Muhua to improve his cultivation.

However, after eating Shui Muhua, it can be regarded as a small advantage.

After leaving the inn, Jiang Ping'an returned to the Xunwei Immortal Pavilion to take away his horse, and then rode back to Mirror Lake Mountain.

However, before he returned to Mirror Lake Mountain, he felt his whole body heat up and the spiritual energy in his body was swollen. He had to dismount his horse and find a place to sit down and use his kung fu to refine the spiritual energy contained in Spirit Wine.

Shui Muhua waited and waited, but Jiang Ping'an didn't come back. She waited for almost a cup of tea but Jiang Ping'an didn't come back, so she walked out of the room to look for Jiang Ping'an. After finding that she couldn't find it, she went to the lobby on the first floor to ask, only to find out that Jiang Ping'an had already left the inn.

"I was fooled!" Shui Muhua was so angry that he was very unconvinced and secretly said, "Dongfang Jintang is it so delicious? I didn't eat it when I put it in my mouth and ran away secretly!"

After spending more than half an hour, Jiang Ping'an finally refined the Spirit Wine in his stomach, and his cultivation level improved accordingly.

In the next two days, Jiang Ping'an continued to refine Golden Marrow Pill and earned back the spiritual stones for customizing the array chisel.

On the afternoon of the third day, Jiang Ping'an rode to Fulong Daping Valley Market and successfully obtained the chisel for taking the engraving array.

I saw that the chisel was completely black, and the color was not a dead paint, but like the shadows of the abyss and the midnight sky were crushed together, and then repeatedly beaten and tempered thousands of times by invisible hands, and finally condensed into a quiet black. The light falling on it will not be reflected, but will be gently absorbed and restrained. Only at the turning point, there will be a layer of extremely subtle warm luster like the surface of a deep pool.

The body of the chisel is about seven inches long, with an ancient shape and no unnecessary carvings. The lines converge smoothly from the thick handle until the end condenses into a short and resolute bevel, forming the chisel blade. The edge of the chisel does not shine with a cold light, but because of the extremely dense material, it presents an almost "blunt" texture, as if all the sharpness has been converged inward and settled into the determination to break through all things.

Gently stroking the fingertips, what comes across is not the coldness of jade, but a quiet warmth, just like touching an ancient memory that has been polished smooth by the years. It is full of weight and extremely high density. When you hold it, you can clearly feel its downward and reassuring calmness.

"What a chisel!" Jiang Ping'an couldn't help but admire it. It's expensive.

After getting the formation chisel, Jiang Ping'an rides directly back to Mirror Lake Mountain.

The next day, Jiang Ping'an rode to Array Stone Engraving Workshop with a black jade chisel.

In the studio with the door closed, Jiang Ping'an picked up the Green Jade Stone that had been engraved last time, looked at it carefully for a while, and resumed his previous engraving ideas.

There are no two identical array patterns in the world because its carriers cannot be exactly the same.

Twenty or thirty breaths later, Jiang Ping'an understood Yu Xin again. He put down Green Jade Stone, took out the black jade chisel, controlled the black jade chisel with Spiritual Sense, and engraved on Green Jade Stone.

I saw that the tip of the chisel touched the hard Green Jade Stone. Under the strong and stable force of Spiritual Sense, the Green Jade Stone material seemed to be quietly separated by invisible force, leaving a mark with smooth edges and inherent texture. During the whole process, there were no debris flying, and only the ink jade chisel advanced steadily, extremely smoothly, just like using a pen to draw symbols on paper.

Half an hour later, Jiang Ping'an stopped to rest, and about one-third of the formation patterns on Green Jade Stone had been carved.

"We can carve a basic Spirit Gathering Array stone today, but it doesn't have to be too fast, lest it attracts too much attention and is not beautiful." Jiang Ping'an said secretly, "Let's stop carving the formation stone here today, and spend the rest of the time practicing."

After resting for a while, Jiang Ping'an took out one Golden Marrow Pill, drank it, and then practiced the exercises.

In the afternoon, as the red sun set in the west, Jiang Ping'an walked out of the studio and went to find Wang Jinzhen.

"Senior Brother Wang, can I take Green Jade Stone back for engraving?" Jiang Ping'an asked Wang Jinzhen.

Wang Jinzhen said, "Yes, but you have to bring back as many array stones as you bring back Green Jade Stone. If you accidentally carve a piece of Green Jade Stone, you have to pay for Green Jade Stone out of your own pocket."

Jiang Ping'an heard that this was to prevent someone from expropriating Green Jade Stone under the pretext of loss.

"No problem." He said.

Wang Jinzhen still has some impressions of Jiang Ping'an. Knowing that Jiang Ping'an is a newcomer who is most likely to be self-righteous, he kindly advised, "I suggest you not to do this. Some The texture of Green Jade Stone is not good, and it cracks after a few carvings. It may not be a problem with the carving technique. If such a Green Jade Stone cracks in a factory, the inspection is indeed a quality problem, and you can be exempted from compensation."

"By the way, if you take Green Jade Stone out of the factory and replenish it after it is damaged, the selling price for one piece will be three hundred taels of gold or three good deeds, not two hundred taels of gold or two good deeds."

Jiang Ping'an said, "Thank you Senior Brother Wang for the reminder."

Then, he applied to take Green Jade Stone back to the cave to carve, but Wang Jinzhen agreed directly without any further persuasion.

Back in the cave, Jiang Ping'an carved the piece of Green Jade Stone into Spirit Gathering Basic Array Stone in one go in the stone room used as a utility room.

After the engraving was completed, Green Jade Stone did not immediately become a real formation stone. It was only a semi-finished product because formation ink still needed to be injected into the engraving pattern.

For the next two days, Jiang Ping'an was practicing and refining elixirs in the cave.

On the morning of the fourth day, Jiang Ping'an took the semi-finished product Spirit Gathering Basic Array Stone to Array Stone Engraving Workshop for business.

Wang Jinzhen took the semi-finished product Spirit Gathering Basic Array Stone, carefully inspected it for a moment, then raised his head and asked Jiang Ping'an: "Did you personally carve this?"

This semi-finished product Spirit Gathering Basic Array Stone is so well engraved that it can be said to be perfect. Even though he engraved it himself, he did it in a very good condition.

And Jiang Ping'an is obviously a newcomer.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "That's right. Wouldn't it be okay if someone did it for me?"

"Of course you can, as long as you deliver according to the regulations." Wang Jinzhen said.

After a pause, he said, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Jiang to have such an outstanding talent in formations. Congratulations."

"Haha, I don't dare take it seriously, thank you." Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "I will need your guidance and care in the future."

Wang Jinzhen showed a rare smile on his vicissitudes of life, and returned the gesture with a cupped hand. "Easy to say, easy to say."

Then, in front of Jiang Ping'an, he registered the surrender of a formation stone to Jiang Ping'an.

After handing over a semi-finished formation stone, Jiang Ping'an entered his studio, picked up the second Green Jade Stone and observed it carefully.

He planned to carve three formation stones in the first month, which would show his talent without being too eye-catching.

After more than half an hour, Jiang Ping'an stopped carving the formation stone, put the uncarved Green Jade Stone into Storage Bag, and then left Array Stone Engraving Workshop.

"It's been more than half a month since I entered Azure Origin Sect. Now that I have completed the first month's task of carving the basic formation stone, it's time to visit Senior Brother He Zudao to connect with each other."

Jiang Ping'an Thinking like this, he rode to Fulong Daping Valley Market.

Since it was a door-to-door visit, of course he couldn't be empty-handed and without any sincerity. Moreover, He Zudao allowed him to choose tasks freely, avoiding those compulsory tasks that were dangerous, hard, boring, and low-paying. He was grateful in his heart.
