Xu Tao, who was on Ni Xian'er's right, suddenly reminded, "Junior sister, don't be careless. This stone seems to have another dimension."
Ni Xian'er said nonchalantly, "No matter what, you won't be able to withstand our flame tempering!"
"It's hard to say!" Xu Tao didn't believe that there would be easy questions at the alchemist conference held every ten years. There must be some kind of mystery in it.
While the contestants were still doubting, in a corner of the arena, an alchemist took the lead.
He pushed his palms against the stone, and suddenly, blazing fire shot out from his palms, raising the surrounding temperature to another level for a while.
Others were not in a hurry to start, but watched how the alchemist roasted the stone until it turned red.
In fact, if it is an ordinary stone, any alchemist here can do it in three to five minutes if he has enough spiritual energy.
But it was precisely because it was so easy that everyone was suspicious.
A minute passed quickly, but no one else was in a hurry to start.
After the alchemist continued to use flames to scorch the stones for a minute, he suddenly withdrew his spiritual energy.
After wiping the sweat from his head, he tentatively stepped forward to examine the stones.
I saw that the surface of the stone had been burned black by the flames, and smelly green smoke was constantly rising.
The alchemist didn't find anything wrong out of curiosity, and then he touched the surface of the stone with his hand.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by his actions, and they all looked sideways at him.
"Huh? What's going on?"
The moment his fingers touched him, the young alchemist was suddenly startled, and the change in his expression made his alchemy friends nearby become worried.
At this time, the puzzled person next to him asked urgently, "Dan, what's wrong? Have you found anything?"
The young alchemist turned his face and said solemnly, "I thought the surface of this stone was very hot, but, but..."
"But you should tell me quickly!"
"But it's still cold now!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. The flames that lasted for just a minute actually failed to heat up a stone, but instead made it cold. This gave the contestants a headache.
However, many people were dubious and started to use flames to destroy the stones.
Yu Chengwu, who was on the stage, had never seen such a strange stone before, so he asked Elder Chen Xi, "What secret does this stone hide? It doesn't even get hot when burned by flames?"
"Master Yu doesn't know, there's nothing unusual about this stone."
Elder Chen Xi, who was well-informed, laughed, then stood up and explained to everyone, "The mystery actually lies in the internal structure of this stone. If you destroy it, you will find that there is actually a layer under its surface.
A layer of material that insulates heat, and the central structure also has honeycomb-shaped holes. This structure plays a very good role in insulating heat. It is difficult to burn it red with an ordinary flame in a short time.
Arrived."
"Elder Chen is indeed very knowledgeable." Li Shisan also stood up, first praised Chen Xi, and then said, "I found this stone near the volcanic rocks. We call this stone a nest stone. It has a complex internal structure.
It can resist the erosion of external heat to a limited extent. If there is no special method, it will be difficult for even the strong King Wu to burn it red."
After listening to Li Shisan's words, Lu Xiuren was the first to be unable to sit still. He suddenly stood up and asked in an accusing voice, "President Li, since it is difficult for the powerful King of Martial Arts to do it, what about these martial arts masters?"
How can the juniors do this...Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for them?"
Lu Xiuren's words were immediately supported by the elders of guilds from all over the country, and doubts began to become noisy.
Li Shisan glanced at Lu Xiuren, and now the relationship was completely broken.
"Masters, please be patient." Li Shisan soothed, and after everyone calmed down a little, he said, "As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Didn't I just say the same thing? If you want to pass the competition, there are other things.
As for the special method, it’s up to these juniors to figure it out. If they can’t solve this problem through their own thinking, then I won’t grant the title of champion, lest it ruin the reputation of this alchemist conference.”
"In previous years' alchemy master conferences, the victory was always based on the level of the spiritual elixir. This is actually unfair to practitioners with lower cultivation levels."
Elder Xiao Ran understood what Li Shisan meant, and he also agreed with the other party's change.
So he also stood up to speak for Li Shisan, "Everyone also knows that the quality of a spiritual pill is actually closely related to a person's cultivation level. With strong telepathy and fire control ability, it is impossible for other cultivators to compete with the peak.
Martial spirit alchemists compete against each other. In this way, alchemists with high cultivation levels naturally have irreplaceable advantages. If nothing changes, isn't the significance of this conference just about the difference between high and low cultivation levels? What's more?
What’s the point?”
Master Jiang Yi is a straight-talking person. Although his identity is inconspicuous here, he stood up in agreement, "What the two masters said makes sense. Why don't we let these little guys find the solution on their own?"
Well, this can be regarded as a test.”
The elders present all thought it made sense, so they also stopped everyone in the room.
It's just that Master Jiang spoke on the side of Elder Xiao Ran and the others, which made Lu Xiuren feel even more unhappy.
On the field, the remaining more than a hundred alchemists used their own flames to burn the stones in front of them with all their strength. As a result, the temperature of the entire space became more fierce, as if there were two extra suns in the sky. Some spectators on the stage
The civilians started to sweat profusely.
Qin Tian walked around the stone in front of him. His spiritual consciousness could not penetrate it, so he had to find other ways.
"Qin Tian, do you have any good ideas?"
Yang Qiang did not use the simplest and crudest way to burn the stone like others, but held great hope for Qin Tian to see if he could find any simple way to do it.
"This kind of stone has a special quality and cannot be penetrated by spiritual consciousness. Others have failed to raise its temperature with such ferocious flames. I think there must be something interesting in it. I need to spend some time studying it."
Qin Tian really can't think of anything special about this stone. When he touches it with his hand, it only feels slightly cool. When he knocks it with his hand, a solid sound can be heard. It can be said that this stone is different from ordinary ones.
Stone is no different.
Seeing that Qin Tian had no other solution, Yang Qiang put his hands on his hips and said incredulously, "Water can penetrate a stone if it drips for a long time. I don't believe it can withstand burning for a long time. Besides, there is no time for this second round of knockout."
How long, I think we should just go ahead and burn it with the body flame!"
