[Chapter 17: The Unknown]

‘Is it really okay?’ Mingyue asked worriedly.

"Probably, I haven't tried it either. Without the guidance of an experienced soul stone master, I'm afraid we will have to take a lot of detours," Qingfeng said.

‘What should we do?’ Mingyue asked.

‘Let’s try it.’ Qingfeng said, picking off a small piece of soul mineral and throwing it into the cauldron.

Mingyue watched Qingfeng perform the operation without making a sound.

After a while, Qingfeng controlled his body but never made the next move.

"Why aren't you moving?" Mingyue asked.

‘I can’t.’ Qingfeng said.

‘What can’t you do?’ Mingyue asked.

‘I don’t know how to smelt soul stones.’ Qingfeng said.

"If you don't know how, why did you ask Hu Li to buy the tripod? Isn't this a waste?" Mingyue said with some distress as she looked at the tripod in front of her and the soul stone next to her.

"Usually, a miracle will happen in this situation." Qingfeng said confidently.

‘What miracle?’ Mingyue asked.

"It wouldn't be a miracle if I knew." Qingfeng said.

Mingyue wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. She just looked at the cauldron in front of her. Qingfeng also returned helplessly and waited quietly.

One body and two souls, staring straight at the tripod in front of them, just waiting for a miracle to happen.

After a long period of time, Mingyue couldn't hold back her temper and said, 'Why don't you try to put some fire-attribute energy into the cauldron?'

‘Then, give it a try.’ The breeze directly moves the vitality into the meridians, and Mingyue controls the body to transport it to the tripod.

The temperature in the cauldron slowly increased, and the soul mineral that was put in seemed to have some movement and began to sway in the vitality.

With the input of vitality, the temperature in the cauldron became higher and higher, and the form of the soul ore changed. From the original solid state, it began to melt into a liquid form. It rolled like paste in the cauldron.

As the temperature continued to rise, the soul mineral in the cauldron began to evaporate brown gas, and a strong smell of paste came from the room.

"I understand. This is because the impurities in the soul mine have evaporated and dispersed into the air." Mingyue said confidently.

‘No, no.’ Qingfeng said.

"What is that?" Mingyue asked a little unhappy when Qingfeng retorted.

"The roof is broken," Qingfeng said with a sigh.

‘Roof?’ Zhou Yutian raised his head and glanced at the roof. Sparks could already be seen vaguely on the beams, spreading upwards.

"Hu Li, come and help me." Zhou Kutian shouted.

"What's wrong, Master?" Hu Li was startled when he heard Zhou Kutian shouting. Although the person hadn't come over yet, the voice had already been heard.

"What a fuss, why don't we just extinguish him with water-attributed energy?" Qingfeng said reproachfully, and then began to deliver water-attributed energy.

Mingyue controlled her body and poured her vitality onto the fire location.

"Boom" The water-attributed energy met the sparks that still contained the fire-attributed energy, and they overcame each other, causing an explosion.

Zhou Yutian quickly threw himself to the ground, while Qingfeng remained silent and stayed inside quietly, watching everything outside.

‘Didn’t you say that water-based things can be put out?’ Mingyue asked.

"It's useless for you to hold people accountable now, just imagine what to do." Qingfeng said.

"Master, what's going on?" Hu Li said hurriedly when he saw what happened in Zhou Kutian's room.

"It caught fire accidentally." Zhou Yutian said.

Zhang Ling and Hu Jie also rushed over. Seeing the situation in front of them, they didn't bother to ask any more questions. Zhang Ling hurriedly turned his palms over and made several hand shapes. After the energy was output from his hands, it turned into substantial water mist and sprayed on Mars.

In that place, the sparks were extinguished in an instant.

"What on earth are you doing?" Zhang Ling asked.

"I was playing with fire just now." Zhou Yutian replied honestly.

"Then how did it become like this?" Hu Jie asked.

"I just went too far." Zhou Yutian said with an apologetic smile.

"You." Zhang Ling was speechless for a moment and couldn't think of what to say next.

"This is too dangerous." Hu Li said.

"There is no other way, I can only proceed gropingly." Zhou Kutian said.

"Are you going to smelt soul stones?" Zhang Ling said looking at the big cauldron in Zhou Kutian's room.

"That's right." Zhou Yutian said.

"Do you have attributes? I heard that you are not..." Zhang Ling did not say the second half of the sentence.

"After I came back to life last time, I found out that I had attribute achievements, so I wanted to try the technique." Zhou Yutian said.

"But, can you smelt? Just try it rashly." Zhang Ling asked.

"I have learned some things in books. Since it won't cause backlash, it might as well give it a try and learn from the experience." Zhou Yutian said.

"Even if it doesn't cause backlash, there is still such a danger. Master, don't try such a thing. After you return to China, let the domestic soul gold master give you guidance. I believe you will get twice the result with half the effort." Hu Li said.

"Well, okay." Zhou Yutian reluctantly looked at the cauldron in front of him and the soul mine next to it.

Therefore, it did not cause any major problems and did not affect living conditions. However, for the sake of safety, Hu Li moved both the tripod and the soul mine away.

Zhou Yutian was free and had nothing to do, so he just happened to study the spells written down by Hu Li.

The content written by Hu Li was relatively rough. He only briefly described the direction of the meridians and the measurement of the required vitality. The specific execution was not described in detail. However, Zhou Yutian was able to use this set of spells based on the skills he had learned in the previous days.

Get running.

The next day, Zhou Yutian and Hu Li were sparring in the courtyard. Zhang Ling and Hu Jie were watching. However, Zhang Ling was not very energetic. After all, this place was not as good as the palace. Zhang Ling, who had thin skin and tender flesh, could adapt to it all at once.

It's not easy to come here. Hu Jie hasn't changed much. Although she is still our young lady, she has been free-range for a long time, and her arrogant aura is reduced to arrogance.

Although Zhou Wutian has many more attributes than Hu Li, he lacks actual combat experience and his spell training is not perfect enough. Therefore, after just a few moves, he was knocked to the ground by Hu Li.

"Master, are you okay? Your attack was a bit heavy just now." Hu Li said. In fact, Hu Li didn't use much energy, most of it was used in defense.

"No, it's okay. I didn't expect the gap to be so big." Zhou Yutian said.

"How long have you been practicing? You just want to be like those of us who have been practicing since childhood." Zhang Ling said angrily from the side.

"I think there is no problem in defeating you now." Zhou Yutian looked at Zhang Ling and said.

"Bullying girls is nothing, you are so good at defeating my brother." Sister Hu said from the side.

"Girl, don't be rude in front of the young master." Hu Li said.

"I can no longer be considered a prince after I leave the Kingdom of Zhou. Hu Li, if you don't mind, I will call you Brother Hu, and you can just call me Mingyue." Zhou Yutian said.

"This can't be done, it can't be done." Hu Li said with some fear.

"It's nothing. I have to live after leaving the Kingdom of Zhou. I feel like we won't be able to go back to the Kingdom of Zhou in a short time." Zhou Yutian looked up at the sky and said sadly, "I don't know how they are doing.

.”

Such a sentence also brought up Zhang Ling's worries. It had been so long since King Zhang passed away, and she and Zhou Yutian were being chased and fled all the way to the empty area. She didn't know when she could go back to pay filial piety to King Zhang.

"I'm going back first." Zhou Yutian said and walked back to his room.

The other three people also dispersed and thought about their own concerns.

Early the next morning, the four of them got up and went out to find a soul stone master to guide Zhou Kutian.

"Where do we have to go to find the Soul Stone Master?" Zhou Kutian asked.

"Generally, there will be soul stone masters at the headquarters of the soul stone master organization, but I don't know if we have anything that can impress them." Hu Li said with some worry.

Zhou Yutian touched his pocket and found that the only things he had on him were the Huolei Zi that he had sold before, and he couldn't find anything else.

"I can still hold my sword on the table." Zhang Ling shook the sword in his hand and said.

"If this sword doesn't work, we have other ways." Zhou Yutian said.

"Master, there is a way to make money, but I don't know if you are interested in it." Hu Li said from the side.

"Tell me about it." Zhou Yutian asked with some interest.

"In the past, when I was doing missions outside and I was short of money, I would go to a nearby mercenary group to pick up missions. Depending on the mission level, the price was negotiable," Hu Li said.

"This is okay, where can we find it?" Zhou Kutian said.

"Wait a minute, does this have some identity?" Zhang Ling said reluctantly.

"Outside of Zhou and Zhang, who would recognize our faces? Let's go and have a look." Zhou Kutian said.

Hu Li went to inquire about the location of the mercenary organization and took Zhou Wutian and the others there. Zhang Ling muttered a few words and followed.

There are no specialized mercenaries in the mercenary group organizations. They can only be regarded as general intermediaries. Therefore, these mercenary group organizations are quite chaotic. There are at least several mercenary group organizations in each place to accept tasks from some clients, and then
