Chapter 269: Be Prepared

Because of Zuo Feng's miscalculation of the situation in Luancheng, he fell into an extremely passive and embarrassing situation.

The Blood Wolf Gang was naturally upset because he rescued people at the city gate, which disrupted their original plan. With the mentality of those people, this grudge was not easily revealed. However, he and Guilingmen had no major grudges after careful calculation. The root cause was Guixiang's stinginess and selfishness.

Just the day before, Zuo Feng thought that at most his brewing skills might cause trouble. At that time, he did not think that for the sake of "Forget Worry Drunk", many forces could act without scruples. This is why he has been patiently waiting until the auction is about to end.

When he heard Kang Zhen say that the item of the last auction was a monster, he even optimistically thought that he would not have any trouble. But Siqi's news was like a ruthless big mouth, slapping Zuo Feng in the face, and completely sobering up Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng finally understood why so many people were madly tracking him, and why everyone seemed to be full of energy. Now everything was clear. These people were all coming for the black stone "beast pattern". Originally, a black stone of unknown use would not attract people's attention, but when it was linked to the battle between the two magic beasts, things became tricky.

He could now understand more or less why the Kang family wanted to auction the magic beast and the black stone together, because they did not want to cause trouble like he was now. Although the Kang family started out as a medicine refiner, there must be many masters in the family. Even if such strength had to be given up, it was conceivable how hot the magic beast and the beast pattern were.

Zuo Feng now admired the ancestor of the Kang family. He was worthy of being a person who had lived for a long time. He could judge the danger in advance and decisively give up such a large treasure. Zuo Feng believed that even if he stood up now to explain that the black stone was actually nothing, no one would have the patience to listen. I am afraid that they would not give up unless they tortured themselves to death.

Moreover, if he said that this black stone had no value, no one would believe it. He spent more than a thousand gold coins to fight for this seemingly useless black stone. It was logically unreasonable. If he said that he knew nothing about this stone, even Zuo Feng himself would not believe it.

The major forces in the city now include Guiling Sect, Yinsha Sect and Blood Wolf Gang. Although Zuo Feng was not clear about the small forces, there should be at least seven or eight, and there were countless people without any sects. In addition, there were many families like the Kang family. Although these families were serious businessmen, they would probably take action in the face of such temptation.

In the final analysis, Zuo Feng's strength was too weak. If this black stone was in the hands of Yao Xun or the city lord Li Shang, these people would also be greedy, but Zuo Feng believed that they would never dare to rob it blatantly. Zuo Feng was more determined to improve his cultivation at this time. Low-level warriors on Kunxuan Continent would only be rootless duckweed at the mercy of others.

After calming down a bit, Zuo Feng also had a clear understanding of the current situation. He was temporarily safe because the straw hut was still under the control of the Lord of Luan City. Once Zuo Feng left here, he believed that some people who were blinded by greed would take risks without leaving the city.

Zuo Feng originally planned to give up the last auction. After thinking about it, he decided to set off in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. He believed that those big forces would at least not do anything crazy before the Warcraft auction, but once the final ownership of the Warcraft was determined, even the Lord of Luan City would not be able to guarantee his own safety.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng also had a plan in his mind. As early as when he entered the city, he had considered how to leave the city, because at that time he had already made a feud with the Blood Wolf Gang. Since everything was planned, he stopped thinking about it. He slowly closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep. Since he had to face danger, it would be safest to recover his spirit and physical strength.

When Zuo Feng got up the next day, he didn't see Yao Xun. He didn't have the leisure to care about what Yao Xun was busy with. He had to prepare some necessary means for himself.

Zuo Feng first took out a cauldron, which he had bought when he was in Yancheng, and then took out a pile of ores and flame crystals from the nanocrystal. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Zuo Feng ignited the cauldron and began to refine the ore.

Flame Crystal Fire Thunder, a weapon that Ning Xiao taught him along with the soul refining. Although the Flame Crystal Fire Thunder is a one-time consumable, after Zuo Feng's repeated thinking and improvement, its power is much stronger than that used by the spiral tower.

And Zuo Feng is now refining the Flame Crystal Fire Thunder for himself. With the three chapters of the weapon refining technique of Qionglan, Zuo Feng now has a master's style when refining. Although he can't reach the level of the second chapter forger, Zuo Feng believes that he is not far from that level.

Pieces of gray-white ore were put into the cauldron. Zuo Feng is now able to extract the essence of the ore with ease. It is no longer necessary to split the extracted ore into two halves and then add the flame crystal for fusion as before. He can now directly put the flame crystal into the medicine furnace during refining.

When refining in the past, Zuo Feng only knew how to use spiritual power and flames to control the items in the cauldron. But after Siqi's translation and explanation, Zuo Feng also learned a trick in refining, which is to use the heat waves of flames to control the items inside.

Because the characteristic of the flame crystal is that it will automatically absorb spiritual energy when it encounters spiritual energy, thereby releasing the fire energy in the ore. However, the heat wave of the flame is not spiritual power. As long as Zuo Feng carefully controls the spiritual power within a certain range and does not let the flame directly burn the flame crystal, there is no need to worry that the flame crystal will burn directly in the cauldron.

This principle is simple to say, but it is still difficult to operate in practice. The flame crystal itself is a special ore that is extremely unstable, especially the flame crystal fire thunder that Zuo Feng is refining now, which uses medium-grade flame crystals, which makes its unstable characteristics more obvious.

However, after trying several times, Zuo Feng finally refined the improved flame crystal fire thunder, but when the fire thunder was about to explode several times, he still used the cold condensation ice mist to quickly stabilize it. When Zuo Feng found the trick, the speed of refining fire thunder became much faster.

Zuo Feng spent a whole morning to use up all the ore materials he carried on his body, and made a total of nearly fifty flame crystal fire thunders. Looking at the silver balls stacked together in the nanocrystal, Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel a little palpitation in his heart. Although he had not tested the power of the fire thunder, Zuo Feng believed that the current fire thunder should also pose a great threat to warriors in the early stage of Qi Refining. As for warriors in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, he could only know after testing.

It was almost noon, and although Zuo Feng was not very hungry, he decided to eat a little. The desire for food and taste was secondary. More importantly, he wanted to use this opportunity to restore his spirit and spiritual power, because the following work would not be easy either.

After eating, Zuo Feng sat quietly and adjusted his breath for a while until he felt that he was calm, and then he got busy again. After the Qi Ding finished refining the Yanjing Fire Thunder in the morning, Zuo Feng had already put it into the nanocrystal. At this time, he sank his mind and consciousness into the nanocrystal again, and found the exquisite small medicine furnace from among the many items. It was the one that Yao Xun had borrowed for him to use and was detained. Zuo Feng now thought carefully that the other party probably had planned to give this medicine furnace to him.

The faith turned again, and Zuo Feng continued to take out items from the nanocrystal. These were also prepared by Zuo Feng during this period. Although he didn't know that he would face the current situation at that time, he still had to make some necessary preparations to enter the Xuanwu Empire, so he prepared a large number of medicinal materials in advance.

But in the blink of an eye, the bags of medicinal materials in front of Zuo Feng piled up into a small mountain. If this scene was seen by others, they would definitely guess that Zuo Feng had a material like storage crystal on him, and the storage crystal that could hold so many things at the same time must be of high quality.

Zuo Feng was not in the mood to think about these things now. He put all his mind on the next thing, which was also the one he was best at among all his skills, refining medicine. It was naturally impossible to use all these medicinal materials. He only took a small part from each medicinal material, and then sent most of the rest back to the nanocrystal.

Open the furnace to refine medicine and add the flame crystal. The medicine furnace was quickly preheated by it. Zuo Feng had personally tried the benefits of this small medicine furnace. The heat energy of the flame crystal quickly filled the entire medicine furnace, and it could maintain heat for a long time after the fire was extinguished. More importantly, the spiritual power and heat energy can be manipulated easily, just like Zuo Feng's hand is controlling it.

After refining the Soul-Restoring Liquid, it is much easier for Zuo Feng to refine the medicine powder. Zuo Feng can even think about other things during the process of refining medicine. Of course, these are just a few unimportant links in the refining process. Zuo Feng will still concentrate on refining medicine for most of the process.

Zuo Feng first chose the Soul-Restoring Powder. Although he has the Soul-Restoring Liquid, Zuo Feng will not use such a precious liquid medicine casually. That is a recovery liquid that can be used by warriors in the late stage of bone refining and the early stage of qi sensing. It is still a bit too luxurious for Zuo Feng now. He plans to save the Soul-Restoring Liquid for a more critical time.

Although it is a bit difficult for Zuo Feng to recover with the Soul-Restoring Powder at his current level, Zuo Feng can take a large amount without wasting it. As long as he does not use the wind-reversing or clone instant killing method, the medicinal power of the Soul-Restoring Powder can barely meet Zuo Feng's requirements.

Then Zuo Feng started to refine some medicinal powders for restoring strength and detoxifying. The Huili Powder he had refined before had been used up when he left the Spirit Beast Mountain Range. Although there was still some Detoxification Powder left, its detoxifying effect was much worse. He not only had to refine some Huili Powder, but also had to slightly improve the original Detoxification Powder.
