Ximen Changqing was not in a hurry to refine the weapon. With his strength, it only took a short time to complete the weapon refining assessment.
Looking at the weapon refining methods of other weapon refiners, one can probably estimate the overall level of the weapon refiners in the Fairy Continent.
It wasn't until everyone started refining that he took out the spiritual ore prepared by the Immortal Clan Academy, put it into the refining furnace, and started the first step of purification.
Adjust the earth fire, smelt the spiritual ore, remove impurities, and create a device embryo.
Ximen Changqing quickly completed more than half of the weapon refining assessment.
There are also many other weapon refiners who participated in the assessment, and they have all completed the casting of the weapon embryo.
Next, is the final step, engraving the inscription on the finished vessel.
The higher the purity of the spiritual material, the more perfect the embryo is, and the more inscriptions it can bear.
The level of the weapon refiner and the quality that can be produced will be revealed after the inscription is engraved on it.
Since the assessment standard is to refine a middle-grade Xuantian magic weapon, no matter how well the artifact is made, the seventh-level inscriptions inscribed by all weapon refiners will not be lower than five.
However, after so many inscriptions are engraved and the true essence is injected into it, there is no telling whether the embryo can withstand it.
"boom!"
A monk in charge of the inspection injected the true essence into a refiner, and the newly refined Xuantian magic weapon immediately caused an explosion.
Obviously, the Xuantian magic weapon created by this weapon refiner is not of good enough quality and cannot withstand more than five seventh-level inscriptions.
"boom……"
"Sure enough, it's still not strong enough!"
Master Huang Feng sighed and pushed aside helplessly.
The Xuantian magic weapon he refined could not reach the level of the middle-grade Xuantian magic weapon at all and failed the test.
Although he is a seventh-level mid-level weapon refiner and can refine mid-level Xuantian magic weapons, the materials he uses to refine the weapons are all higher-level spiritual materials.
In his opinion, these spiritual materials provided for the assessment were very difficult to refine a low-grade Xuantian magic weapon, and his failure was not unjust at all.
"Fellow Taoist Changqing actually carved ten inscriptions. If it passes the test, it will be a top-grade Xuantian magic weapon!"
Master Huang Feng did not leave immediately. He wanted to witness Ximen Changqing pass the examination with his own eyes.
"Haha! There are actually ten seventh-level inscriptions engraved on it. It seems that fellow Taoist is very confident in his weapon refining skills!"
A late-stage integration monk walked up to Ximen Changqing, looked at the ten seventh-level inscriptions on the flying sword, and suddenly laughed.
He picked up the flying sword and quickly injected his abundant real energy into it.
"rub!"
"What a sword! Very good!"
The expected explosion did not occur, which proved that Ximen Changqing passed the assessment and completed the assessment to a high standard.
"Fellow Taoist Changqing, I really saw you right. There is hope for the inner sect!"
Master Huang Feng sighed and looked at Ximen Changqing, who had passed the first test.
"Fellow Taoist, thank you!"
Ximen Changqing smiled modestly, saying this not only to Master Huang Feng, but also to the examining monk in front of him.
"Everyone, you have all seen it! With the same materials and the same refining conditions, this refining master successfully refined the top-grade Xuantian magic weapon.
And among you, there are actually many who suspect that the materials provided to you cannot be used to refine the middle-grade Xuantian magic weapon.
The gap between weapon refiners was huge before. Immortal Academy does not accept idiots. Only true talents are qualified to enter our Immortal Academy."
The perfect monk who was in charge of the first level of assessment shouted with his nostrils pointing to the sky.
In this wave of weapon refiners, only thirteen people passed the assessment, which was even fewer than those who passed the previous wave. This shows that the elimination rate is high.
The weapon refiner who passes the assessment will be allowed to rest for half a day, and then enter the second level to continue the assessment.
"Fellow Taoist Changqing, congratulations on passing the first level! This means that you are at least a nominal or entry-level disciple.
And based on the performance of Taoist friends, they have reached the standard of entry-level disciples.
If you pass the second level, you will become an outer disciple, and your status will be greatly improved.
After passing the third level, you will become an inner disciple, and even if you are favored by the powerful immortal clan, you will have a certain chance of becoming a direct disciple."
Master Huang Feng congratulated with envy on his face.
"Haha! I hope so! I also hope that I can become an inner disciple. As for the personal inheritance, I don't have to think about it. I just want to be able to get in."
Ximen Changqing was humble.
"Alright, fellow Taoists, it's time to fix things up. Let's go down to the square outside and take a look at all the fellow Taoists who came to Xianwucheng together. How many of them have passed the first level of assessment!"
Master Huang Feng clasped his fists and said goodbye, leaving the Earth Fire Hall.
After all, this place is still too small. If all the disciples who participated in the assessment do not leave as soon as possible after failing, the Earth Fire Hall will not be able to accommodate them.
At this time, more than 500 monks came from Xianwu City to participate in the first assessment, and only three monks passed.
Except for Ximen Changqing, who was assessed on weapon refining, the remaining four were assessed on fighting skills.
Out of more than 500 monks, only five passed the first level, which shows the cruelty of the assessment at the Fairy Academy.
As for the five people who passed through, except for Ximen Changqing, the remaining four were all members of the Ximen family.
They are Ximen Yunfei, Ximen Changkong, Ximen Yongsheng, and Ximen Yongyang.
Just for safety's sake, the five of them all changed their surnames and pretended not to know each other when taking the flying boat, just like strangers.
In other words, if the five people from the Ximen family had not come to take the assessment, none of the monks gathered in Xianwu City would have passed the first level of assessment.
It's no wonder, after all, almost all the high-level experts from the entire Immortal Continent came to participate in the assessment, and the involution was too serious.
Half a day later, Ximen Changqing started the assessment again.
This time, the Earth Fire Hall for the assessment was smaller, and there were fewer monks participating in the assessment. There were only a hundred weapon refiners who passed the first level.
"Everyone, congratulations on passing the first level of assessment. At this point, you can at least obtain the status of nominal disciple of the Immortal Clan Academy.
Those who have refined the high-grade Xuantian magic weapon in the previous assessment are already entry-level disciples.
Of course, nominal disciples cannot enter the academy to practice, and entry-level disciples are essentially equivalent to handymen.
Therefore, you must take the assessment carefully next. If you pass this test, you can become an outer disciple of the Immortal Clan Academy, and I will be an outer disciple."
An old man who had achieved perfect integration looked at the one hundred weapon refiners participating in the second level assessment and introduced them seriously.
"Outer disciples, come on!"
"Must succeed! Must enter the outer gate!"
"Not only do I want to enter the outer sect, I also have to pass the third level and become a disciple of the inner sect!"
Hearing this, one hundred weapon refiners secretly encouraged themselves.
What an honor it is to be able to enter the Immortal Academy for further study. Even this level of status is enough to intimidate people.
"The first level of assessment is to refine what you are good at at will, while the second level of assessment is to refine a bronze bell. You must use the materials given to you to refine at least the middle-grade Xuantian magic weapon. Let's get started!"
As the old man spoke again, the second level of the weapon refining assessment began.
Looking at the eighteen kinds of spiritual materials in front of him, Ximen Changqing smiled slightly.
Among these spiritual materials, only three have reached the seventh-level mid-grade, and the remaining fifteen spiritual materials are all seventh-level low-grade spiritual materials.
It is very difficult to use these spiritual materials to refine a bronze bell of the middle-grade Xuantian magic weapon level.
"Such a large piece of seabed fine copper seems to be the main spiritual material for refining this bronze bell. Fortunately, it is a seventh-level mid-grade one, so the difficulty is much smaller!"
Ximen Changqing didn't think it was very difficult. After a brief inspection, he started to smelt the materials.
However, the other weapon refiners who participated in the assessment frowned.
Obviously, the difficulty of this level has increased a lot.
First of all, defensive copper bells are relatively difficult to refine, and most weapon refiners are not good at refining such defensive weapons.
Secondly, the spiritual materials prepared are of too low grade, and it is really difficult to refine the mid-grade Xuantian magic weapon.
If you are refining a simple flying sword, there may be a chance of success, but if you are refining a copper bell, you may not even be able to refine a low-grade Xuantian magic weapon.
"This is too difficult!"
"How can a defensive bronze bell be so easy to refine? It's really hard for the outer disciples of this Immortal Academy to take the exam!"
"Fellow Taoist, I give up!"
"Hey! Let's not waste spiritual materials. With my strength, there is absolutely no chance of success!"
"I should be satisfied to be able to become a nominal disciple of the Immortal Clan Academy!"
"This is a competition between all the geniuses in the entire Immortal Continent. It doesn't matter if you lose!"
"I'll give up too!"
Soon, there were more than a hundred weapon refiners who participated in the second level assessment, and fifty of them gave up the assessment as soon as they got the assessment content.
Some of the weapon refiners shook their heads and did not continue after smelting the spiritual materials.
After a while, another weapon refiner who successfully cast the embryo gently put the embryo down without engraving an inscription and chose to give up.
By the time Ximen Changqing cast the weapon embryo, there were already less than twenty weapon refiners around him who participated in the assessment.
"Don't be too showy. Let's engrave nine seventh-level inscriptions!"
Ximen Changqing thought for a while and decided to engrave only nine inscriptions, one less inscription than the first level, barely reaching the level of the top-grade Xuantian magic weapon.
"Hiss! Carve nine inscriptions! How brave!"
"Why are you so bold? You don't care about life and death. Is the defensive bronze bell so easy to refine? It is very difficult to refine a low-grade Xuantian magic weapon with such inferior spiritual materials. He actually wants to refine a high-grade Xuantian magic weapon.
!”
"Wait! Once the true energy is injected into it, this bronze bell will definitely explode!"
"The skill of refining the weapon is okay, but it's a pity that I am not greedy enough. Isn't it good to carve five inscriptions? Maybe there is still a possibility of success!"
"Yes! You can surely enter the outer gate by refining the middle-grade Xuantian magic weapon. Why take the risk to refine the high-grade Xuantian magic weapon? Is it just to show off?"
"This is indeed a show off. If it explodes, it will make you extremely happy and sad."
A group of weapon refiners are not very optimistic about Ximen Changqing.
Even the weapon refiners who were optimistic about him felt that him carving nine seventh-level inscriptions was really too much and unnecessary.
There is no ranking for this level, there are only two categories: pass or fail, so why take risks and show off.
Listening to the discussions around him, Ximen Changqing was helpless. He had tried to keep a low profile, but in the eyes of other weapon refiners, he still showed off.
If these guys knew that he could refine the perfect Xuantian magic weapon, I don't know what their expressions would be.
"Snapped!"
"Unqualified!"
"boom!"
"This is not up to standard either!"
"Crack!"
"Hey! Unqualified!"
Soon, the finished products of more than a dozen weapon refiners failed the inspection and exploded after being injected with true energy.
"It's really just trying to make a fool of yourself. If you don't have the strength, you should give up earlier!"
"It explodes when you inject a little bit of true energy. It's not as good as me!"
"Giving up is the same as failure. Don't laugh at anyone!"
"Yes, yes, the result is the same anyway, you didn't pass the assessment!"
A group of weapon refiners who gave up the test early started laughing at the losers and at the same time laughing at themselves.
"Nine seventh-level inscriptions. It seems that fellow Taoist is very confident in his weapon refining skills?"
The Immortal Academy disciple in charge of the inspection picked up the bronze bell with a smile and poured a large amount of true energy into it.
"rub!"
Suddenly, a golden light shone throughout the Earth Fire Hall, and the sound from the copper bell was very clear.
Obviously, this bronze bell has reached the level of a top-grade Xuantian magic weapon, and Ximen Changqing has also passed this test.
"Hiss! He actually succeeded. Top-grade Xuantian magic weapon. How did he do it?"
"Does it come from some big force or family?"
"Maybe he is a disciple of the Immortal Clan!"
"It is impossible for the disciples of the Immortal Clan. They can enter the Immortal Clan Academy without taking the assessment!"
"Yes! I think they are disciples trained by those big forces besides the immortals."
"After all, we made a mistake. Compared with this, our weapon refining skills are ultimately insufficient!"
"I have to practice hard when I go back and try to pass the second level next time!"
"We are already nominal disciples. How can we follow the outer disciples?"
"Why, who are you chasing after this fellow Taoist!"
"With such a high level, I can just work as a handyman next to you!"
A group of weapon refiners were so surprised that they even considered following Ximen Changqing.
"Jing Jing, nominal disciples are not qualified to follow outer disciples. Only entry-level servant disciples can follow outer disciples!"
The old man in charge of this level of assessment asked everyone to be quiet.
"Hey! It's a pity that we are just disciples in name only. We can't do anything except scare people."
"No, you can also do low-level tasks in the Immortal Academy. If you accumulate enough merit points, you can redeem them to become an entry-level disciple. In this way, you will be eligible to follow the outer disciples."
"Doing low-level tasks! It takes too long. The nearby monks can really try it. But we monks from far away are not convenient to stay in other places for a long time. The tasks of the sect are quite difficult!"
"Look, another fellow Taoist has passed the examination!"
"It's a bit weaker. It only has the middle-grade Xuantian magic weapon with five inscriptions!"
"At least I succeeded and became an inner disciple of the Immortal Clan Academy!"
"Envy, envy!"
In the end, in addition to Ximen Changqing, there were two other old weapon refiners who passed the second level of assessment. However, they only refined the middle-grade Xuantian magic weapon, and their strength was weaker than Ximen Changqing.
"Haha! Congratulations to the three fellow Taoists! No, it's the three junior brothers. Congratulations on joining the Immortal Clan Academy!
You can enter the outer gate area of the middle courtyard now, and after half a month's rest, you can take the third level assessment!"
The old man who has perfected his body has a very gentle attitude, but his attitude towards the three people who passed the examination is obviously different.
As for those failed weapon refiners, he didn't even bother to look at them.
