Pagoda Immortality

"Seniors, please have some tea."

Gu Chungang had not returned yet, so Gu Rutie put a pot of tea on the table, poured a cup for each of Lu Li and said politely.

This person looks to be in his forties, but his cultivation level is only at the twelfth level of Qi training.

Lu Li chuckled and stood up, "You're welcome, fellow Taoist, I have some questions I would like to ask. Isn't it convenient?"

Gu Rutie stared at this young man who looked much younger than himself, feeling somewhat inferior for no reason. He scratched his head and said, "It's convenient, senior, please tell me."

Lu Li didn't mince words and said bluntly, "I heard that your son was kidnapped by robbers? Does fellow Taoist know where the robber came from?"

Hearing this, a flash of worry flashed in Gu Rutie's eyes, and he shook his head helplessly, "I don't know, we didn't even see each other, we only saw the boy who delivered the letter. However, that person was just a mortal, presumably just We didn’t hurt the boy who helped him deliver the message, and just let him go.”

"Then how can you be sure that if you help him refine the magic weapon, the other party will release your son? If the other party is worried about his identity being exposed and kills your son after getting the weapon, what should you do?"

Gu Rutie sighed, "Well... we really can't think of any other way. We can only take one step at a time..."

At this moment, Gu Chungang also ran back in a hurry.

Seeing the two people talking, he paused for a moment, then came forward and said, "This idiot doesn't understand anything, and he got very angry one day. If you have any questions, fellow Taoist, just ask me directly."

Then he handed the two rolls of oil paper in his hand to Lu Li, "This is the construction blueprint, take a look."

Lu Li nodded and opened it in front of Gu Chungang to watch.

The first drawing is called the Sky-Shaking Hammer. The handle of the hammer is about five feet long. The body of the hammer is huge and square, with lines all over it, full of mystery.

The second drawing is called the Nine-Turn Lotus Platform. The circular base is carved with ancient runes, and the upper edge is surrounded by eighteen petals that can rotate around the lotus platform.

The appearance is somewhat similar to Xiao Jue's flying magic weapon, but it is much more advanced. It is said that the eighteen petals can also reduce the consumption of real energy when rotating.

After looking at it, Lu Li put it away and said with satisfaction, "They are indeed top-quality magic weapons."

"Then, when will Fellow Taoist prepare to start refining?" Gu Chungang asked impatiently.

"You can do it at any time, but... I have to borrow your Gu family's refining room, and the materials for this Sky-Shaking Hammer..."

"No problem. Our Gu family has a refining room. Fellow Taoist, you don't have to worry about the materials. I have already collected them these days." After saying that, he handed a storage bag to Lu Li, "Fellow Taoist, take a look. , what’s inside is the Thunder Fire Stone.”

Lu Li took it and took a look, and found that the one-foot-wide space was filled with blue and red stones, which were exactly the same as the thunder stones on the drawing.

He smiled and said, "Okay, now that I'm ready, let me ask fellow Taoist to take me to the weapon refining room."

Seeing the eager look on Gu Chungang's face, Lu Li stopped wasting time and turned to Mu Yang, cupping his hands and saying, "Brother, I'm really troubling you this time. I'll handle the rest myself."

Mu Yang stood up after hearing this, "Okay, I'll go back first. Junior brother, come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me after refining."

Lu Li nodded, "Senior brother, walk slowly."

After Mu Yang left, Lu Li followed Gu Chungang and walked towards the weapon refining room.

While walking, Lu Li said tentatively, "Fellow Daoist Gu, do you really think that the robber will let your grandson go after receiving the magic weapon?"

Gu Chungang asked in confusion, "What do you mean, fellow Taoist?"

Lu Li shook his head, "Think about it, since this person has the blueprint, why didn't he just ask you to help him refine it, instead of kidnapping your grandson?"

"Yes, such a precious blueprint. If he comes with the blueprint, if we have the ability, we will help him refine it even if there is no charge? Why is this?"

"I think there are two reasons."

"Please give me some advice from fellow Taoists."

"First, he may not have materials like Thunder Fire Stone, so he wants to use your Gu family to find materials. After all, your weapon-refining family has a greater chance of coming into contact with weapon-refining materials."

"What about number two?"

"The second thing is that the blueprint of the Sky-Shaking Hammer came from a shady origin. He was afraid of exposing his identity. If this guess is correct, then the person who came to deliver the message last time might be dead."

Hearing what Lu Li said, Gu Chungang's expression suddenly changed, "So, anyone who comes into contact with the master behind this blueprint will die?"

Lu Li smiled slightly, "Of course, I'm just guessing. There may be other reasons. For example, this person doesn't know the value of this blueprint is very high, but simply doesn't want to pay for the processing fees and materials."

However, Gu Chungang still had a worried look on his face, "What should I do? I don't know where the thief is hiding. I really want to catch him and throw him into the furnace to burn him to death!"

Seeing this, Lu Li was secretly happy, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "Did the boy who sent the message tell you how to trade?"

Gu Chungang recalled, "The boy said at the time that in three months the man would send someone to pick up the goods, and he would not let us go until they got the goods. We were not allowed to follow him. If he found out, he would kill Tie immediately." hammer."

"Three months from half a month ago, that is, April 15th?"

"um, yes."

"That's fine." Lu Li smiled easily, "If you trust me, I can help you rescue your grandson safely, but how about I give this Heaven Shaking Hammer to me?"

"You, know where my grandson is?"

"I don't know now, but I have a way to find out. As long as..."

"Really?"

"Don't worry, even if I can't rescue your grandson in advance, I will never alert the enemy. So, even if the rescue fails, you can still trade according to the original agreement. For your Gu family, in addition to having more options, there will be no loss."

"Okay, let's do it! Do you need me to do anything?"

"Just give me one of your grandson's personal belongings. The closer the better, preferably fur or something like that."

"Fur?"

Gu Chungang thought for a while, "Okay, I'll go find it in a while."

Bringing Lu Li to the door of the refining room, the two talked for a few more words, and Gu Chungang left in a hurry. Lu Li entered the refining room, closed the door, and began to refine the thunder and fire stone.

Since he was making a magic weapon for himself, he had to be careful. In his opinion, this Heaven Shaking Hammer already belonged to him.

On the other side, Gu Chungang hurried back to the hall and saw Gu Rutie sitting in a daze on the chair. He immediately yelled, "Are you stupid? Go and find out if there are any hairs left from the hammer. Find a few of them. Your father will need them..."

"What do you need the hair for!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up. If you keep talking nonsense, I will chop you to death..."
