Xuan Ye also understood that the other party came from a well-known weapon-refining family and had been practicing hard for a long time. It would be a joke if he was compared with him on the spur of the moment.
Several old men praised him repeatedly, but Gu Chi was very humble. Xuan Ye admired him both in terms of his character and his ability in making weapons.
After a while, several old men became alarmed again.
"Not bad, not bad. It is also a good product. No matter the shape or completeness, it is not inferior to Gu Chi!"
Xuan Ye turned his eyes and saw that he was a red-robed monk with a flamboyant temperament. After hearing the old man's praise, he did not hide the arrogance in his eyes at all.
When he noticed Xuan Ye's gaze, he moved his gaze to the alien sword embryo, and his eyes immediately changed, showing contempt.
Xuan Ye was not surprised. These leaders of the sect were young and energetic, and had already achieved something. It was inevitable that they would be praised and killed a lot. It was normal for them to be arrogant and arrogant.
He also knew that if he had not suffered these hardships, he might be as arrogant as the other party.
Soon, the first round of judging ended, and only five people advanced.
It was a surprise for Xuan Ye. His sword embryo was the worst among the five, but he was promoted due to his ranking in the review and his weird appearance.
But it also revealed a message that these old men were betting that the final product to be refined must be very difficult, and they would take the gamble even if there was a slight chance.
That's why I gave Xuan Ye another chance, just to bet that he was a geek!
The second round began soon, and the old man with a long beard took the stage again and wrote the word "hidden weapon".
Xuan Ye immediately thought of the Bai Lie Needle. After checking the materials provided, he quickly found materials that were similar to what he needed.
Then the julong cauldron was sacrificed, and the spirit was used as fire to light the outer furnace.
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw that Xuan Ye, who was the last to make a move in the first round, was surprisingly fast this time, but after seeing the Juelong Cauldron, they all started laughing again.
Xuan Ye saw the laughter coming one after another and didn't know what it meant. Until he turned around and saw someone else's cauldron, he was immediately startled.
The Juelong Tripod is only half a person tall and looks simple and old.
Others' cauldrons are two or three people tall, and are either celadon or indigo purple, and exude a flowing light.
Especially the one in Gu Chi is suspended in mid-air, with ethereal aura, and the flames in the furnace are shining with two colors.
In this comparison, I don’t know which one is the divine object.
When Xuan Ye looked at the Juelong Cauldron again, he no longer looked astonished as before, instead he looked like an ugly beggar.
"Boy, what's that look in your eyes? Are you looking down on Master Ding?"
Master Ding was indignant and said with disdain: "If you have not exhausted your spiritual energy in these thousand years, what are these common things? In the end, it is not because you are not strong enough. If you can inject spiritual energy, even if you can only reveal a little bit of your true body,
, it’s enough to scare these nameless people!”
Xuan Ye's thoughts were revealed and he touched his nose awkwardly. Hearing another disdainful sneer, he turned around and found that the arrogance in the red monk's eyes had turned into disdain.
He didn't care. Although the appearance of the Juelong Ding was poor, it had a spiritual spirit. What's more, the Ding Master also said that it was not its true form.
"Boy, since they all look down on you, you will be the one to refine it this time and let Lord Ding teach you the extreme fire tempering method!"
Tempered by extreme fire? It sounds unusual at first glance. Xuan Ye nodded immediately and said with a smile: "Yes, they look down on me, but they look down on you, Mr. Ding. Quickly teach me how to scare them!"
"You increase your firepower to the extreme."
Xuan Ye acted according to the words and frantically poured spiritual power into the cauldron. The red flames swung instantly, and then grew bigger and bigger until they rushed out of the furnace and enveloped the furnace body like a fire lotus.
At first glance, it looks like a meteor.
The gushing tongues of fire made the audience in the stands scream, thinking that the furnace was about to explode.
The others who were refining the weapons also came to pay attention, wondering what tricks this mysterious man in black robes was playing.
Seeing that the fire was strong enough, Lord Ding continued: "The next step is to put in the materials at the same time, find the quenching point, separate the impurities, then immediately put down the fire, and then use extreme fire to finalize it! Remember, be quick!"
Xuan Ye understood that the quenching point is the moment of melting. Originally, the melting time of the materials was different, but what Ding Ye taught was to use the ultimate fire to refine them at the same time so that they are approximately synchronized.
This approach is somewhat risky, but fortunately, this level of weapon refining does not require so much precision.
He picked up the materials and threw them into the fire. It was like throwing boiling water into a frying pan. There was a "boom" and the fire grew stronger and stronger, like a mad beast, letting out a low roar.
Several people participating in the competition thought Xuan Ye was crazy. In the first round, they thought he was lucky enough to advance, but in the second round, he was completely self-destructive and trying to please others.
They are all waiting for the material to be burned and then watch this big joke!
Only Gu Chi and the monk in red showed solemn expressions, obviously knowing about this method of sacrifice. The former just looked at it lightly, while the latter withdrew his eyes with disdain, but didn't take it too seriously.
The only thing that surprised the red monk was that the small broken furnace used by Xuan Ye had more firepower than his big Ming heavy furnace!
However, he is confident that he is better than Xuan Ye in terms of experience and skills, and the quality of the sacrifice is naturally better. Even Gu Chi is just a foil!
At this time, Xuan Ye was immersed in the cauldron, concentrating his thoughts, fearing that he would miss the tempering point.
The material melted rapidly in his eyes, and part of the impurities turned into gas and rose. After being separated, the remaining impurities had been melted by 80 to 90%.
At the moment when everything is melted, use the spirit to control the fire and separate the impurities. At the same time, extinguish the spirit fire, and then pour in spiritual power to burn it to the extreme!
It seems complicated, but these steps are completed in a few breaths, and the difficulty can be imagined.
He had already broken out in a cold sweat, but it was not time to relax yet.
When the flame stabilizes, the materials are rapidly fused under the high temperature, and it's time for shaping.
The key point of Bailie Needle is that the needle is equipped with hundreds of teeth, which can make the cyclone pass through and become invisible. Therefore, shaping is the top priority!
This step is the most testing of mental strength, and it is also the step where one cannot be distracted.
As the fire took control, the flying needles whirled and danced, split into three, and gradually solidified according to the steps of "Tiangong Pu".
Xuan Ye threw the dust into the sand again to cover up the sharp edge, and instantly stopped the fire.
There was a "buzz" sound, light shone in all directions, and three small silver needles came out of the furnace.
Due to the small size of the Bai Lie Needle and the concealment of its sharp edge, no one could see what it was for a while. If it weren't for the stream of light, they would have thought that the sacrifice had failed.
At this time, the red-clothed monk's refining was at its final moment. The mad furnace roared, and the stream of light shot straight up, scattering fireworks all over the sky.
Gu Chi was slightly slower than the two of them. The cauldron was whirling and the fire was stable. It looked like he was an expert at controlling fire.
After a while, the cauldron opened, and the light overflowed, then turned into a thin purple gas, swirling in all directions.
The long-bearded old man screamed in shock, his lips trembling slightly: "It's Ling Yun!"
Everyone was stunned at this moment. They didn't expect that Gu Chi's refining technique was so exquisite that he could be called a master.
If the remaining two on the stage were not completely refined and were hit hard, someone would lose control of the furnace and explode.
The monk in red also gritted his teeth, focusing entirely on Gu Chi, with a look of dissatisfaction still on his face.
The so-called spiritual aggregate is a precursor to the transformation of objects into spirits. Only when there is an aggregate can one have a soul, and only with a soul can one develop wisdom.
In fact, at this point, the victory can almost be determined.
Unless someone else has the means, looking at this round alone, Gu Chi's refining method is definitely several levels higher than the others present.
The three old men looked at each other and still chose to step down from the stage for review.
This surprised everyone even more, especially some of the older people, who were all curious about what exactly Tianbao Pavilion was trying to refine.
Judging from the hasty holding of the weapon refining competition, it should be an urgent need. However, due to its power, it has not found a suitable refiner, and instead relies on this competition.
It can only be proved that this object is extremely difficult to refine, and even Gu Chi, who has already refined the spiritual essence, may not be able to complete it, so it is necessary to cast a wide net.
The more this happens, the more curious everyone becomes, and they are all waiting for the last round.
None of the three old men expected that only three of them would complete the second round.
The artifacts presented were also very different, including Bailie needle, black willow knife, and red kite arrow.
Among them, Bailie needle Xiaojiabiyu has very exquisite teeth. Wuliu knife is large and ingenious, with a black blade that looks like a willow leaf. The serrations on it can quickly tear apart the enemy's defense.
As a sleeve arrow, the red kite arrow has a domineering appearance, resembling a flying kite, but it also hides ingenuity. The most important thing is its shape and quality.
"Not bad, they are all good." The long-bearded old man exclaimed. He picked up each item and looked at it, especially the red kite arrow, which he couldn't put down.
In the end, all three were rated qualified and advanced to the third round together.
Since the materials needed to be prepared for the third round, Xuan Ye and others were able to rest for a while and recover their spiritual power.
At this moment, the three of them were sitting at three corners of the stage.
Xuan Ye was closing his eyes to rest his mind, but he didn't expect that refining the weapon would take so much effort. Thinking that the Bailie Needle just performed was already extraordinary, and coupled with Master Ding's guidance, the result was still the worst among the three.
Fortunately, he was able to advance to the third round, so he didn't have to worry too much about it. Apart from inputting the materials, Ding Ye would take over the rest, and he would just have to show off.
Judging from the results of the review just now, Gu Chi's weapon refining ability is extremely high, and I don't know if he can win.
"Hey, why are you so thick-skinned? You've made something so bad, but you still have the nerve to stay and continue competing?"
Xuan Ye glanced at the monk in red who was speaking, but did not respond, and continued to close his eyes and rest.
"How dare you ignore me!" The red monk gritted his teeth and grabbed Xuan Ye's collar with one hand. Before he could exert any force, his wrist was pinched. The force that came from him surprised him a little.
Looking at Xuan Ye's eyes, the cold light in them made him feel frightened, and he unconsciously let go of his hand.
Even so, the monk in red still had a tough mouth. He snorted coldly and said a few more sentences before leaving angrily and heading towards Gu Chi.
"Gu Chi, you really stole the show. I will show my true skills in the next round!"
Gu Chi glanced at the person who came, but his face didn't change much. Instead, he turned to Xuan Ye and chuckled, "You are welcome to teach me."
The red monk's face turned red from suppressing it. It was disgusting that neither of them took him seriously! Before leaving, he said coldly to Gu Chi: "You will know in a moment that the only opponent in this round is me, Han."
Yuan Yiren!"
The bell rang, and the audience became excited, standing up and looking towards the high platform.
This time, the long-bearded old man did not write it out, but three teams of people delivered the treasure box containing the materials.
It was so solemn that everyone craned their necks.
When the treasure box was opened, there were more than twenty kinds of materials on it, as well as a gray scroll.
The old man with a long beard said solemnly: "The method of sacrificial refining is already in the scroll. Each person has two copies of the materials. If you use them up, you will be a failure. The final product will determine the outcome, and the time is set before sunset!"
