Nothing more than that, because Ye Guchen's second-hand choice was a piece of blue jade.
The jade is called Hundred Years Cold Heart Jade.
It is also a relatively rare treasure, but in this stone platform, it is not the rarest.
But what makes Gongsun Xiaoyue angry is...
The Centennial Cold Heart Jade and the Fire Flame Crystal, one has the cold attribute and the other has the fiery attribute.
These are basically two materials with completely opposite and conflicting properties.
Let alone a real caster, anyone who even knows a little bit about casting knows it.
If materials with conflicting properties are fused and superimposed together, not only will their effects not be fully exerted, but they will conflict with each other, resulting in chaotic power, and the final result will be scrapped.
Not to mention Gongsun Xiaoyue, even a layman like Lu Qinghan saw the clues and said with a slight smile on his lips: "This person is quite interesting and unexpected."
"What's so unexpected? It's all just randomness, okay? If he chooses materials like this, even if he passes this level, when it's time to forge, how can he possibly forge a magic weapon with these two materials!" Gongsun Xiaoyue was furious!
He puffed up his cheeks, crossed his arms across his chest, and looked angry.
She thought she had met a talented person, but Ye Guchen's choice was so amateurish that she was extremely disappointed.
As for the other people who were selecting materials around the stone platform, they all had astonishment on their faces when they saw Ye Guchen's choice.
The sounds of merciless ridicule were endless.
Seeing this, Shen Tuyuan said with a playful smile: "Don't make fun of this little brother. Although he doesn't know how to cast, he still has some eyesight and can pass this level."
Shen Tuyuan now wants Ye Guchen to pass this test.
Because he wanted to see how embarrassed Ye Guchen would be when it was forged.
"Let me just say, that boy just got lucky. How can he compare to Mr. Shentu?" Mrs. Xiao kept talking.
Even Xiao Wanrou learned from the conversations between those casters that Ye Guchen made a very stupid choice.
"Mr. Ye, if it was just to attract Miss Gongsun's attention, then you have indeed succeeded." Xiao Wanrou sighed slightly and shook her head.
She was indeed a little embarrassed because of Gongsun Xiaoyue.
But now Ye Guchen's situation is not much better than hers.
The girl's vanity made Xiao Wanrou more willing to see Ye Guchen in embarrassment.
Because of this, Xiao Wanrou will not feel inferior because she is a concubine.
Around the stone platform, Shentu Yuan had already selected three materials.
That kind of vision made Gongsun Xiaoyue secretly admire her.
"The three materials Shentu Yuan chose are some of the most precious on the stone platform. What's even more rare is that the properties of these materials do not conflict with each other at all and will not cause difficulty in forging." Gongsun Xiaoyue nodded secretly.
.
On the other side, Ye Guchen finally finished selecting the last piece of material.
"Is that...Yunxui?" When Gongsun Xiaoyue saw this, the disappointment in her eyes became even stronger.
The rarity of cloud marrow is medium, and it is a material with no attributes and almost no characteristics.
Ye Guchen's choice was truly mediocre.
"Forget it, why was I so stupid to invite him back in person? Now it's my face that's been embarrassed!" Gongsun Xiaoyue was furious, and the more she looked at Ye Guchen, the more she disliked her.
After the selection is completed, the next step is the judging time.
"Master Shentu is really amazing. All three materials are top-notch materials." Rao, the old man who presided over the conference, couldn't help but admire.
He checked them one by one, and when it was Ye Guchen's turn, the old man sighed.
"It's quite rare, but..." The old man didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what he meant.
The final result is out.
By coincidence, Ye Guchen happened to be ranked tenth and was able to enter the final forging stage.
"Haha, congratulations. You are worthy of being invited back by Miss Gongsun. He is indeed capable. I am looking forward to your performance in forging." Shen Tuyuan laughed, feeling extremely happy.
Naturally, what he said was not a congratulation, but a satire on Ye Guchen, and at the same time, he was also mocking Gongsun Xiaoyue.
"Shen Tuyuan, if you say one more word, I will tell you to get out!" Gongsun Xiaoyue stood up, her flat chest rising and falling, and she felt extremely depressed.
"Haha, stop talking and wait for your Excellency's next performance." Shen Tuyuan said with a smile.
Gongsun Xiaoyue looked at Ye Guchen with a little complaint.
Obviously, Ye Guchen, who invited her back in person, had embarrassed her.
Ye Guchen, under the black gauze of his bamboo hat, had a calm expression from beginning to end.
He didn't care about the outside world, but thought about it in his heart.
"It is recorded in the "Tiangong Mineral Collection" that although the properties of Fire Flame Crystal and Centennial Cold Heart Jade are in conflict, if they are fused with Cloud Marrow, they will form a more advanced material, Ice Fire Mysterious Heart Marrow."
"The value of a piece of Ice and Fire Xuanxin Marrow may be worth the sum of half of the treasures on the stone platform."
"However, if you want to fuse it into the Mysterious Heart Essence of Ice and Fire, it not only has requirements for temperature and heat, but also the number of times of forging. In addition, it needs to be melted with the strange fire from the same source of ice and fire so that it will not conflict."
"It is precisely because of such harsh conditions that this fusion method has almost been lost. It is only recorded in the "Tiangong Mineral Collection" given by the old drunkard."
Ye Guchen organized his thoughts in his heart.
Seeing Ye Guchen standing there motionless, he seemed stunned.
Gongsun Xiaoyue was grinding her silver teeth and was furious.
"Just start forging!" Gongsun Xiaoyue snorted and said angrily, obviously not in a good mood.
"Hehe, this boy is in trouble. He actually made the little pepper from the Gongsun family unhappy." Some of the casters around him looked at Ye Guchen with pity.
After the first level of material selection, only ten people including Shen Tuyuan and Ye Guchen passed the level.
Shen Tuyuan was the first, and Ye Guchen was the last.
As for the location of the first level of forging, it is no longer in the Baozhu Building, but in the foundry room behind it.
Gongsun Xiaoyue went to the casting room with the top ten casters.
"Let's go and see how that kid got into trouble." Mrs. Xiao rubbed her cheek that had not yet subsided, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
She couldn't wait to see Ye Guchen make a fool of himself.
Behind the Baozhu Building, eleven foundry rooms have already been arranged.
These eleven foundry rooms were all built according to the needs of the forging conference. All four sides, including the roof, are transparent.
Everyone around can clearly see the situation in the casting room and each casting room.
Therefore, there is no possibility of fraud and it is fair and transparent.
What kind of magic weapon can be forged depends entirely on one's ability.
"Then let's officially start the competition. I put my words here. Anyone who forges a weapon that can beat this girl will be able to choose from the treasures of my Gongsun family at will, even if he is a male.
, as long as he is not too ugly, I might be willing to marry him!" Gongsun Xiaoyue once again made a shocking statement.
