Indeed, Feng Xing ran fast and jumped high.
With his help, Shaosi's task was soon completed. A hundred Snow Orchid Grasses were easily collected.
Ji Hao and the others returned to the Magi Palace. After leaving their contact numbers, Ji Hao went back to his intense but fulfilling study. Magic medicines, magic curses, magic formations, magic tools... Wulong Yao introduced an elderly Magus to Ji Hao, and Ji Hao started learning how to make magic puppets.
During the past half a month, Ji Hao had been staying in the material storage room of the Magi Palace.
From the most ordinary steel, to the Star Wrought Iron, which was a million times harder than steel, to the Gui Water Mysterious Silver, which was a million times more flexible than gold, to the Marine Abyss Demonic Copper, which was as brittle as crystal but could contain a large amount of Wizard Power …
Under the cruel indoctrination of the group of old Magi, Ji Hao's knowledge in all aspects had been soaring.
His understanding of basic materials had greatly improved his understanding of magic tools and magic puppets. Even these rare materials, including those metal materials, could be merged into magic medicines.
For example, by now, Wulong Yao would add Gui Water Black Silver into the body-strengthening medicine that Ji Hao took every day. This would make his bones more flexible and hard to break. It was just that every time Ji Hao took the medicine, he would be in so much pain that he wanted to die. The taste of this Gui Water Black Silver was just too horrible.
'It's a pile of dog shit that has been fermenting for three thousand years!'
Ji Hao commented on the taste of the Gui Water Black Silver.
After half a month of hard work, the power contained in Ji Hao's meridians had been surging like a tsunami, and could no longer be contained. Every day, his meridians would feel an intense pain as if they were on fire. This was a sign that his wizard power had reached its limit and could no longer be enhanced.
In Ji Hao's spiritual space, the mysterious man sat on the round plate with his legs crossed, and said, "Little guy, when you break into the Senior Magus level, there must be a sign. However, you absolutely cannot let others know that you have already opened all the meridians in your body. So, let's find a quiet place. "
Ji Hao stood up, left the warehouse where he had been cultivating for half a month, and returned to his own room.
When he opened the door, he casually touched the secret compartment on the door for visitors to leave messages. In the end, he found seven or eight bone fragments made of animal bones. Ji Hao carefully read the bone piece, then grinned.
Taisi had come to Ji Hao quite a few times, telling him that he had some new ideas about magic curses, and wanted to go collect some rare materials together with Ji Hao.
Yu Mu had only come once, and the message he left for Ji Hao was quite simple — There was a mission that required him to go to a faraway place, and he and Feng Xing couldn't possibly complete it by themselves. Therefore, Yu Mu asked Ji Hao if he would like to go with him.
Two hours later, in Yu Mu's stone house, the five of them gathered together again.
Feng Xing carried a small stone block and sat alone near the door. The door was wide open, and he seemed to be ready to rush out of the door and run away at any moment. Ji Hao also didn't understand why this guy was so vigilant, as if someone was chasing after him at any time.
Taisi leaned against the stone table, narrowed his eyes, while fiddling with a mouse skull in his hand. From time to time, he would put this white skull into his mouth, blowing it like a whistle, making a squeaking noise.
Shaosi silently stood aside, with her hands in her sleeves and her eyes fixed on her own feet. No one could tell if she was lost in thought or just dozing off.
Only Yu Mu was sitting straight in his chair, seriously explaining the details of this mission to Ji Hao.
"This is a big job. A Rong Mountain Clan, one and a half million miles away from Pu Ban City, has sent a branch of their clan, with thirty thousand clansmen, to open up a new territory. That new territory is rich in natural resources, not to mention the beautiful soil and water, three large scale tungsten steel mines have been found. "
Ji Hao had been staying in the storage room for the past few days, and quickly recalled the properties of tungsten steel.
Tungsten steel was an all-around medium grade material. It wasn't as strong as star wrought iron, nor as flexible as Gui Water Black Silver, nor could it contain as much power as Ocean Abyss Magic Copper. However, in all aspects, it was tens of thousands of times better than ordinary metals. In the Magi Palace, tungsten steel was also an extremely important strategic resource. Compared to those rare and precious top-grade materials, tungsten steel was the most widely used one.
Many Magus-King-level magic tools were forged from tungsten steel and the bones of all kinds of fierce beasts.
Especially for some large-scale battle machines and puppets produced by the Magi Palace, huge amounts of tungsten steel were used.
"Good stuff, the Rong Mountain Clan is going to be rich this time." Ji Hao smiled and said, "Is this mission to help them open up new territories?"
Yu Mu nodded and said seriously, "Yeah, the Rong Mountain Clan is good at exploring mines, extracting metals and forging magic tools, but they are not good at fighting. They can't spare enough powerful warriors to help them open up new territories, so they turned to the Magi Palace for help. "
He looked at Ji Hao and said, "Originally, the Rong Mountain Clan only offered a reward of one-hundred-thousand jade coins and a few magic tools, but the Magi Palace discussed with them and changed the conditions to ten percent of all tungsten steel produced from the three tungsten steel mines in the next hundred years. In addition, the Magi Palace can purchase thirty percent of the total tungsten steel produced from the three tungsten steel mines from the Rong Mountain Clan every year at a fair price."
"In return, the person who carries out this mission can get one piece out of every hundred pieces of tungsten steel produced by the Rong Mountain Clan in the next thirty years. In addition, the Rong Mountain Clan can forge a Magus-King-level magic tool for us, and we only need to pay half of the material cost."
Yu Mu spread his hands, even the fat on his body slightly jiggled and said, "Among us, Ji Hao, you have the inheritance of your clan, so you don't need magic tools too much, but having a Magus-King-level magic tool is always a good thing. As for the four of us, we can't compare with you, and Feng Xing is nothing but a broken bow... "
Feng Xing, who was sitting by the door and constantly poking his head out, immediately yelled out, "Magic bow, the ancestral magic bow!"
Yu Mu continued, "Feng Xing is nothing but a broken bow, and I only have a pot, nothing else. Taisi only has a crappy bone cane, and Shaosi has nothing else. Therefore, if the five of us join hands, we should be able to take this mission. "
Ji Hao flicked his fingers on the stone table for a few times, then immediately agreed to this mission.
He had been planning to find a quiet place to break into the Senior Magus level, and going out for a mission was a perfect excuse. Wulong Yao and the others wouldn't have any objections.
"But, when we go out, we have to be careful." Feng Xing sat by the door, shrunk his head and looked outside for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Those people from the Ten Sun Country didn't look too good earlier. Two of them, who used to be extremely arrogant, have disappeared these few days, I guess …"
Feng Xing glanced at Taisi.
Taisi let out a few weird chuckles.
Ji Hao and Yu Mu glanced at each other, then nodded simultaneously.
