The middle-aged weapon refiner's face stiffened for a moment, then he said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist is really not nervous, he can still joke at this time."
He pointed to the stone platform ahead: "Usually when we come to this place, many people even stutter when they speak."
The stone platform in front is no more than three feet high and about one foot in diameter.
There is a long wooden platform on the blue stone platform, surrounded by a total of nine large chairs.
At this time, the wooden chairs were all empty.
There were several young men in long robes standing beside the stone platform, looking nervous. Some of them looked red, while others looked pale.
Two people clenched their fists at this moment, and even their legs and feet were trembling without control.
"The weapon refiner trial and certification begins."
As the sound sounded, three phantoms fell on the nine wooden chairs.
This phantom is clearly a formation that casts the shadow of an unknown person somewhere far away here in the form of a projection.
"The certification of the weapon refiner is not done by our tower city, but by the deacons and elders of the weapon refiner alliance in the surrounding cities and even other cities."
"In this certification ceremony, the results are random, so it is difficult to fake them."
The middle-aged man beside Han Muye said in a low voice.
There are also such methods. From this point of view, the strength of this alliance of weapon refiners is greater than previously imagined.
At least this projection array is not an ordinary method.
In front of the high platform, the weapon refiner who presided over the certification shouted.
The gray-robed young man who had already stepped onto the stage had a tense face and looked at the various spiritual materials placed on the wooden table in front of him.
"This is a descendant of the Zhao family. He has probably just started training." A trace of disdain flashed across the face of the middle-aged weapon refiner beside Han Muye, and he whispered: "These aristocratic families in the city regard the Alliance of Artillery Masters as their own.
.”
“These certification materials seem to be free of charge.”
All materials required to certify a first-level caster do not need to cost source coins. You only need to pay a total of 100 source coins for the level certification fee.
These one hundred source coins are not for the alliance, but are paid to the three judges and the cost of activating the formation.
In fact, every time a foundry is certified, the alliance here will lose a lot of source coins.
Fortunately, this foundry master will quietly make up for these shortfalls in various transactions in the future.
"Buzz——"
The young man named Zhao Yuping raised a flame in his hand, and then began to put various spiritual materials into it in an orderly manner, burning continuously.
This scene caused envy to flash across the faces of the two young people under the stone platform.
"After all, he is a member of a noble family, and he actually has spiritual fire in his hand."
"This method of smelting spiritual materials is so skillful. He must have practiced with many spiritual materials before."
Where can ordinary weapon refiner apprentices find spiritual fire, and how can they be qualified to independently refine and forge spiritual materials?
This is the heritage of the family.
Resources are basically monopolized by these aristocratic families.
If you want to be promoted, you must either join a noble family or become an extremely difficult casual cultivator.
The world of spiritual practice is actually very similar.
There were very few aristocratic families in the prehistoric cultivation civilization, but there were major sects and dynasties that still controlled the resources.
The principle that the strong will always be strong is truly an unbreakable truth in the world.
Han Muye watched the spiritual fire rising on the stage and sighed slightly in his heart.
When he first traveled to the world of cultivation, he took the first step to worship at Jiuxuan Mountain and enter the Sword Pavilion to become a sword watcher. This step was indeed the right choice.
"Click——"
On the stage, more than twenty forged parts were spliced together to form a black armor piece.
The armor shook and turned into a battle axe.
It is difficult for a first-level caster to cast refined war puppets and armor independently.
Of course, this certification test does not require the refinement of war puppets and war armors.
A young man named Zhao Yuping on the stage picked up the tomahawk, waved it lightly a few times, and then placed it on the table.
The three judges raised their hands and lit up a spiritual light.
"The three judges will give evaluations according to the upper, middle and lower grades."
"As long as not all three of them are ranked lower, it will pass."
The weapon refiner beside Han Muye explained loudly.
The three spiritual lights on the stage turned into three big characters, middle, middle and lower.
Zhao Yu showed joy on his face and bowed to the three judges.
"Thank you three seniors."
Then he straightened his clothes and walked down the stone platform with the battle ax in his arms.
Even if the certification was successful, a weapon refiner wearing a green robe with a smile on his face came over and patted Zhao Yuping on the shoulder, then put a black iron badge on him.
Han Muye heard Zhao Yuping calling the human uncle. It was obvious that that person was from the Zhao family.
Sure enough, the children of these aristocratic families have a lot more resources and conveniences.
At this time, it was not Han Muye's turn to take the stage, and several other certified young people walked onto the stone stage one by one.
Some people succeed and some people fail.
Young people without background are generally more nervous, their movements are more unfamiliar, and their chances of failure are naturally much higher.
There was also one of them who was a certified level 2 foundry master, refining a piece of arm armor, and finally passed the test by luck.
"Fellow Daoist Han, it's your turn."
The last person in the stands walked down, and the second-level weapon refiner named Zheng Jiang beside Han Muye spoke out.
Just now, he had registered various information for Han Muye, and the two of them talked and introduced their identities.
In addition to being on duty at the main hall of the Weapon Refiner Alliance, Zheng Jiang also takes on some jobs scattered outside.
The second-level foundry master is not very strong. Among the workshops and trading houses in the city, he can only be regarded as a helper.
To truly be able to stand alone, one needs to be at least a level three foundry master.
Zheng Jiang does not have the support of a big family, and his level of casting and refining has been stuck at level two for many years.
A voice came from the stage asking Han Muye to come on stage. Han Muye nodded towards Zheng Jiang and walked up to the stone stage.
Those young people who participated in the certification before, whether they passed or failed, have not left at this time.
You can also gain some experience by observing other people's certifications.
"Han Muye, a certified first-level weapon refiner and foundry master."
"The trial is limited to one hour."
The sound sounded, and Han Muye looked at the various spiritual materials placed on the wooden table in front of him.
A first-level weapon refiner and caster only needs to be able to refine an auxiliary combat tool into shape.
Swords, spears, whatever. Just now Zhao Yuping was refining a battle axe.
Looking at the spiritual materials scattered in front of him, Han Muye calculated for a moment, and spiritual fire shone out from his palm.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The Han family has not been heard of in the city."
"Where did this come from? I have spiritual fire in my hand, and it doesn't look weak."
"Don't worry, depending on his methods, who knows whether he got the spiritual fire by luck."
There were low voices of discussion in the audience.
Han Muye placed all the spiritual materials in front of him on the spiritual fire and burned them, allowing them to melt quickly.
The movement is not very fast, nor is it very smooth, but it is so natural and inadvertent that there is no sense of disobedience at all.
A total of thirteen kinds of spiritual materials were fused, then forged into more than thirty parts, and finally spliced into a black long sword.
"Buzz——"
The circular armor piece shook and turned directly into a long sword with golden light.
Han Muye held the hilt of the sword and stabbed it slightly.
The golden halo on the long sword's blade shone like a stream of light.
"Up, up, up."
The three judges directly gave three excellent ratings.
"My dear, you are three superiors. You haven't seen this grade for many years, right?" Under the stone platform, the faces of the young people showed surprise.
"Who is this person? He can get three top grades?" A second-level caster stationed beside the stone platform turned to look at Zheng Jiang.
Confusion flashed across Zheng Jiang's face, and he shook his head slightly.
He also didn't know Han Muye's specific identity.
"Do you want to conduct the second-level weapon forging master trial?"
When Han Muye put away his sword, a voice sounded.
Han Muye nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
Keep trying!
A low cry suddenly came from under the stone platform.
The two weapon refiners brought the spiritual materials to the stone platform and looked Han Muye up and down before stepping off the platform.
Han Muye looked at the spiritual material in front of him, and the spiritual fire in his hand rose again.
A Level 2 Weapon Refiner and Forger must refine parts related to the armor and puppets.
He also chose an arm armor.
This time he moved much faster.
The smooth smelting of spiritual materials, the forging and splicing of various parts.
The whole process is faster than the first level assessment.
Within half an hour, a piece of arm armor with a faint glare took shape.
"Don't look at it, you must have passed the test."
"This arm armor is so dazzling that it is at least the best among first-class ones."
The young people below looked at the arm armor and started talking.
The casters of the alliance knew better. At this time, strange expressions flashed across their faces as they stared at the arm armor.
"Up, up, up."
After three superior evaluations were made, Han Muye had already raised his head.
"I want to continue the certification."
Need to be certified!
Become a level 3 foundry master in one step!
You know, ordinary apprentices need to reach level three, which takes at least ten years.
Even if it is cultivated by an aristocratic family and everything goes smoothly, it will still take seven or eight years.
After all, a lot of memory training does not happen overnight.
At this time, Han Muye actually wanted to be directly certified as a third-level weapon refiner and foundry master.
Envy flashed across the face of the weapon refiner and caster beside Zheng Jiang. He whispered: "My dear, if he directly certifies it successfully, you will be rewarded with three thousand source coins."
Three thousand source coins are already two months' salary for a second-level caster.
Zheng Jiang did not expect that he would be so lucky that just anyone he could receive would be certified as a Level 3 Forger.
"He said he wanted to come for level seven certification." Zheng Jiang whispered softly.
Level seven?
The weapon refiner and caster beside him twitched his lips.
Can you believe this?
Beside the stone platform, several gray-haired old men arrived at some unknown time.
These are the weapon refiners and casters in the alliance.
Some wear level 3 badges on their chests, and some wear level 4 badges.
There is also one of them with a level five badge.
"Elder Sun, do you think he can pass in one go?" A middle-aged man wearing a fourth-level badge turned his head and spoke respectfully.
Elder Sun behind him is a fifth-level foundry master and is already very prestigious in the alliance.
After all, there are only three sixth-level giants in the entire Tacheng Weapon Refining and Forging Masters Alliance.
"Let's see and talk. If he can successfully authenticate, he can lead him to my Sun family's workshop."
"I gave him the opportunity to observe the forging of refining tools."
Elder Sun put his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.
These words made several people around him look envious.
Not only entering the Shijia Foundry, you will also have the opportunity to observe the craftsmanship of a fifth-level craftsman.
There is no big difference between this and accepting disciples.
If you can join the grandson's family, you may really be accepted as a disciple.
"Buzz——"
On the stage, the spiritual fire in front of Han Muye was divided into three parts.
Two began to smelt spiritual materials and forge parts, while one had a stream of light shining on it and quickly polished the forged parts.
While polishing, Han Muye also carved the spirit patterns.
When the parts appear, they are already complete and do not require further processing.
For the third level trial, Han Muye chose to forge a piece of the war puppet arm.
At this time, when those people below looked at his movements, they already felt that they were completely different.
There is no unnecessary action in the whole process.
What to do first, what to do later, in an orderly manner.
There is no confusion in the placement of spiritual materials and parts.
Within half an hour, a war puppet arm took shape.
"Click——"
Control this arm to dance, make a slight fist, and a vibration will appear.
The three judges did not make an assessment immediately, but looked at it carefully, and then pointed out the three spiritual lights.
"Up, up, up."
Mikami again.
In front of the stone platform, everyone's faces showed excitement.
It’s really hard to imagine how inspiring this process is to witness a craftsman and caster go from being a trainee apprentice directly to the third level.
"It turns out there is such a person in the world..."
"Level 3 certification doesn't look difficult, and I have a chance."
"This movement is so fast and skillful. How long does it take to practice?"
The young men all clenched their fists, their faces flushed.
It was as if he was standing on the stage.
"Go and ask him if he would like to come to my school." Elder Sun whispered.
Instead of going to the workshop, you come directly to the door!
This is because Han Muye once again received three excellent reviews just now, which made Elder Sun tempted.
The blacksmith beside him nodded, and just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the stage.
"I want to continue the certification."
continue!
Still need certification?
After re-certification, you will be a level 4 weapon refiner and foundry master!
Level 4, that is not bad among all the major families, and can live a nourishing existence.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The fourth-level weapon refiner and caster is already known as the master in the city.
No matter how imaginary this master is, it still represents his status.
As Han Muye's voice fell, the shadows of the three judges on the stone platform disappeared.
Several weapon refiners and casters wearing long robes came running over.
"Does this require level four certification?"
"It's rare that our city, Tacheng, doesn't have many Level 4 certifications in a year."
"You all should go out. Observation is not allowed for Level 4 certification."
The badges hanging on the chests of these people are all Level 4 and Level 5.
Those weapon refining masters below level three can only walk out with their heads lowered.
I still want to watch it again, but unfortunately, my skills are not good enough and I am not qualified to observe.
Of course, they also know that the level difference is too big, even observing them is useless.
On the contrary, it will affect the mind.
"Hey, Old Sun? Is this your descendant?" An old man with a fifth-level badge on his chest turned to look at Elder Sun.
Elder Sun hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I originally planned to accept him as my disciple, but now I see, it may not work."
There is only one level difference between Level 4 and Level 5. If this person succeeds in getting Level 4 certification, then even if he becomes his disciple, he won't be able to teach him anything.
The old man who asked the question nodded, and then looked at Han Muye.
On the stage, this time five shadows fell down, sitting among nine wooden chairs.
The first three levels have three adjudicators, and the fourth level has five adjudicators.
The phantom fell, and the spiritual materials for the fourth-level trial were delivered.
Han Muye raised his hand to divide the spiritual fire and ignited it.
It's just a level four trial.
For him, this kind of weapon refining and casting is completely childish.
"Did he start the fourth-level trial directly?"
"Very confident. He understands the characteristics of these spiritual materials?"
"Is that okay? I want to watch and learn more. Doesn't this look very reliable?"
Those level 4 weapon refiners and casters are all whispers.
Only three level five foundry masters had solemn expressions on their faces, and their eyes were shining brightly.
As soon as an expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not.
Han Muye controlled the spiritual materials that were burned and smelted in the flames just right.
All parts are forged and formed at the first time.
There is no excess or waste.
The process is not the kind of tight connection from front to back, but relaxed and casual.
This kind of weapon refining is really pleasant.
The process of forging weapons is not boring, but interesting.
Han Muye started to carve spiritual patterns, and those spiritual patterns seemed to come alive.
Raising his hands to build parts, many parts collided, vibrated, and made soft noises.
Still within half an hour, a half-formed body of a war puppet was placed in front of him.
This level is about refining the half-formed war puppet.
There is no defensive armor, only the splicing of parts for body transmission.
The more this happens, the more clearly the structure of this war puppet can be seen.
"Fine, precise, exquisite." The old man standing next to Elder Sun spoke softly.
There was a hint of emotion on his face.
The several fourth-level blacksmiths standing in front of the old man were all staring at Han Muye's assembled war puppet, as if they were afraid of missing anything.
It can be seen from the parts polished by Han Muye that each piece is a high-quality product.
How agile will the war puppet body assembled with such parts be?
Han Muye took a step back, leaving the assembled body of the war puppet on the wooden platform.
"I'll control the demonstration." Elder Sun stepped forward and pushed away the eager weapon refiners.
This war puppet has no device core driver, only a body, and needs to be controlled by someone with their own strength.
Elder Sun stepped forward to control the war puppet because he was curious about Han Muye's skills and also showed that he valued him.
Otherwise, a fifth-level weapon forger would never control the war puppet himself.
When he came on stage, other people would naturally not argue with him, and they would all look at the puppet with curiosity.
Elder Sun walked up to the stage, bowed his hands to the five illusory judges, and then stretched out his hand in front of the war puppet and pressed it on the war puppet's body.
"Click——"
There were sounds of parts being spliced together, and the body of the war puppet suddenly stood up.
With a slight spin, the war puppet flew down on the stone platform, and its empty arms and legs made various lifting, stretching and kicking movements.
The movements are very coherent and there is no sense of sluggishness.
In the eyes of everyone in the audience, it is no less agile than a human body.
"It takes half an hour to refine the body of this kind of war puppet. This person's level is much higher than just level 4." A middle-aged man with a level 4 weapon forger badge on his chest clenched his fists.
Speak in a low voice.
He is level four, but he is completely unable to be as agile as Han Muye in refining the war puppet.
Not even half an hour, but even if you give him enough time, none of the war puppets he refined will be so agile.
"Up, up, up."
Mikami again.
No, it's Wushang.
Elder Sun returned the war puppet to the wooden case, turned to look at Han Muye, smiled and nodded, and then walked off the stage.
Han Muye cupped his hands, stepped forward, and looked at the torso of the war puppet in front of him.
"I choose to continue the trial and certification."
continue!
Direct certification from level one to level five!
The weapon forgers under the stone platform all had expressions of horror and surprise on their faces.
They were shocked by the strength of Han Muye's skills, and were pleasantly surprised to see such a person certified.
If Han Muye could reach level five in one step today, it would be a legend in the entire Tacheng Weapon Refining and Blacksmiths Alliance.
"You guys go out first." The old man beside Elder Sun waved his hand, and then whispered: "I have summoned Master Ma to come and witness."
Master Ma is one of the three giants of the Tacheng Weapon Refining and Forging Masters Alliance, the sixth-level refining master Ma Mingyuan.
The birth of a fifth-level weapon refiner in the city is a big event, and it is a great joy for the weapon refiner alliance.
The birth of every fifth-level weapon refiner represents a further step in the strength of the Tacheng weapon refiner alliance.
It means that Tacheng has another strong weapon refiner.
When various materials were placed on the wooden table in front of Han Muye on the stone platform, a tall, gray-haired old man with thick arms walked over quickly.
There were four weapon refiners coming behind the old man.
"Master Ma." Elder Sun and the three of them bowed quickly.
"Han Muye is Master Han who is behind the famous He family in the city these days." Ma Mingyuan seemed to have known Han Muye's identity for a long time. He walked to the stone platform and spoke in a low voice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Master Han?
Is he the one who helped the He family rise and allowed the young master of the He family to sweep through the younger generations in Tacheng?
Several fifth-level weapon refiners nodded.
No wonder this guy was able to reach Level 5 in one step, he was famous for a long time.
"Okay, let's see how good his weapon-refining skills are." Ma Mingyuan put his hands behind his back and looked at the flames in front of Han Muye.
At this time, a total of ten flames flowed in front of Han Muye, melting the spiritual materials one by one.
In the flames, scattered golden lights intertwined, and then pieces of armor flew out.
The fourth-level trial is to refine the body of the war puppet, and the fifth-level trial at this time is to refine a battle armor worn by the war puppet.
This armor is not the armor of an armor master, but a battle armor that is suitable for the body of a warrior and has a balance of defense and strength.
This battle armor not only shows the weapon refiner's understanding of the power of the battle puppet, but also reveals his means and level of refining the battle armor.
If you can refine battle armor for war puppets, you can refine battle armor for armor masters.
The defense level or attack level of this armor must at least reach level five.
"Buzz——"
There was a soft sound, and the armor pieces in front of Han Muye began to be spliced.
The carved armor pieces are connected together to form a golden war puppet outer armor.
"Good armor. Just by looking at it, I can tell it must be level five." Ma Mingyuan looked at the weapon refiner beside him and said, "Chen Xun, go and try it."
The weapon refiner named Chen Xun walked onto the stage, bowed his hands to Han Muye, and then a long knife appeared in his hand.
"boom--"
The long sword was slashed down, and the golden light intersected on the armor, directly holding the long sword against it.
Chen Xun took a step back slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
The defense of this armor exceeded his imagination.
"superior."
The aura of martial arts gathered again.
Level 5 weapon forger.
"Congratulations, Master Han." Chen Xun bowed his hands to Han Muye and walked down the stone platform.
Under the stone platform, other fifth-level blacksmiths also raised their hands.
Han Muye nodded, his eyes falling on Ma Mingyuan.
"Yes, we have a fifth-level weapon refiner in Tacheng today." Ma Mingyuan raised his hand with a smile on his face and said: "If little friend Han completes the trial, I will host a banquet——"
Before he finished speaking, Han Muye shook his head and said softly: "I want to continue the trial."
