"But that must be a waste of time, right? When the time comes, the selection, the preliminary round, the semi-finals or something will take a long time. ”

"Then what's the matter? He Yuan, do you say you don't believe in the master's strength?"

Chen Zhiyuan turned his head and winked at He Yuan, completely ignoring the sweat flowing through his pupils like a stream, his naked upper body was like a perfect sculpture, reflecting a golden light under the flames of the refining furnace.

"Not really, but I think this time can be used to do something more meaningful. ”

Hearing He Yuan say this, Chen Zhiyuan's movements in his hand couldn't help but stop, and wiped it on his pants casually, Chen Zhiyuan tilted his head and said to He Yuan:

"What is the source of meaning, is it not to use time to create something more valuable?"

"Yes, right?"

He Yuan nodded, but felt a little familiar with Chen Zhiyuan's rhetorical question, it seemed that the master was going to talk to him about something?

"Then let me ask you, in a month, with our ability, can we earn five mid-grade spirit stones?"

He Yuan thought about it seriously, nodded anyway, and said:

"As long as you work hard to refine the weapon, and we help you work hard to sell, you should be able to earn five medium-grade spirit stones a month, but it should be very tiring. ”

"Isn't it, you feel very tired too, right? If Master and I spend a month participating in a few competitions, and then get five medium-grade spirit stones, wouldn't it be more cost-effective?"

"I think that's what I said. ”

He Yuan nodded again, it seemed that something was not right, and there seemed to be something right.

After Chen Zhiyuan left, He Yuan suddenly remembered, how did the master know that he would definitely be able to win the first place?

I just wanted to ask, but found that Chen Zhiyuan didn't know when he had left.

The refining conference was still carried out as scheduled, and basically the refiners below the third grade of the four refining halls all registered, especially the apprentices, and the number of people who signed up exceeded the total number of refiners.

Chen Zhiyuan looked at the list in his hand seriously, in this list, all the refiners who signed up had their names on it, and according to Chen Zhiyuan's request, He Yuan also wrote their specialties and how long they had been refining masters.

"Zhang Rui, this is Lao Zhang, it's okay, he will let me do a little. ”

"Liang Bo, a second-grade refiner, is good at refining gloves, this ranking is so high, you can pay attention to it, and you can find him to get a glove if you need it in the future. ”

"Chi Retro, exactly the strange name, is good at refining long sticks? ”

Chen Zhiyuan looked at the name one by one, although he was sure to strive for a first, but he still can't underestimate the enemy, who is the opponent, what will be or have to take a look, otherwise the self-righteous keep the hole cards, and the result is not ugly?

There are not many second-grade refiners, only about twenty, and those Chen Zhiyuan in the East Refining Hall know each other, so they are naturally sure to win against them, not to mention that Ouyang Yushui has canceled his lectures in the past few months, and has also conducted special training for him for a period of time, and now he can also preliminarily engrave some formations on the equipment.

After reading the list of second-grade refiners, Chen Zhiyuan turned to the first-grade refiners to take a look After all, according to his request, He Yuan also signed up, and he still had to pay attention to it.

Looking at it, Chen Zhiyuan suddenly saw a familiar name, which made him stunned for a moment.

"Liu Li, in the early days of foundation building, a first-grade refiner, good at refining Class A?"

Chen Zhiyuan rubbed his smooth chin, because he started cultivating relatively early, so even if he was now in his twenties, he still didn't have a trace of beard.

"It shouldn't be Liu Li, it's just that the name is heavy, how could Liu Li become a refiner and come to Nanshan Gate. ”

Although he said this, Chen Zhiyuan still made the worst plan in his heart, if it was really Liu Li, what should he do?

The refining was carried out as scheduled, the second-grade refiner came on the field first, and more than 20 refining furnaces were placed in the square, if it weren't for the fact that most of the people next to it were all kinds of ores and metal ingots, people who didn't know would still think that this was an alchemy conference.

There were no bellows, no apprentices to help, and the refiners had to do it themselves, starting with melting the ore.

There were some more interesting pictures on the field, some refiners with a little less spiritual power moved them little by little when they took the materials, and some refiners who had reached the condensation period, because the spiritual power reserves were relatively sufficient, they completely used spiritual power to move things.

Although Chen Zhiyuan was a monk in the late stage of foundation building, he thought that his spiritual power could not be squandered like this, so he still chose to move things honestly.

Material, melting, shaping, reinforcing and building.

At first, Chen Zhiyuan also divided part of his mind to keep an eye on the surrounding crowd to see if it was really Liu Lizai, but after observing for more than an hour, he didn't see Liu Li's shadow, because the distraction also caused him to make a small mistake when smelting ore, Chen Zhiyuan stopped paying attention and devoted himself to forging.

All kinds of flames lit in the square, some cold, some hot, and some made people feel eerie, those were different real fires condensed by different refiners, and everyone here showed their skills and tried to show their best state.

Chen Zhiyuan's creation this time is still not a single piece, with Chen Zhiyuan's style, he doesn't know why, he seems to have a unique love for those combination equipment.

A decent cold iron sword, the Ice Heart Flame used by Chen Zhiyuan, just has a flame that matches this kind of weapon, which can make the characteristics of the material play better.

The Cold Iron Sword stood quietly on the ground, and Chen Zhiyuan controlled it with spiritual power, carefully inlaying some cloud magnets on the sword's body.

What Chen Zhiyuan wants to build are two swords, called the Zimu Lianxin Sword, which are also a relatively common type of sword, but the finished product depends on the materials and the ability of the refiner.

High-grade son-mother sword, a mother sword, countless sword, high-level monks use it, just like a rain of swords in the sky, sometimes like a swarm of bees, in terms of momentum and bells and whistles, no one can compare.

The most famous is the style of ten thousand swords returning to the sect, the sword in the hand of the sword bearer is the mother sword, and everyone else has become his sub-sword, what the effect is, that is understood by everyone.

And the most ordinary son and mother even heart sword, ordinary people can make it with ordinary materials, but as for how strong it can be, it depends on the wisdom.

As Chen Zhiyuan's mother sword was built, the main body of the sub-sword made of cloud magnetism vibrated gently on the table as Chen Zhiyuan waved the mother sword, this is just the mutual attraction between cloud and magnetism, and the real son-mother sword has not yet been formed.

Chen Zhiyuan used multiple engraving methods to engrave the inscription on each sword, because the cloud magnet is relatively fragile and cannot be processed at will like dark iron and cold iron, so the inscription on the cloud magnet is relatively small, Chen Zhiyuan can only do this in order to prevent the cloud magnet from lowering the quality of the finished product.

The mother sword is more relaxed, the inscription on the mother sword is more, the sword body is much wider, and it is easier to engrave.

However, Chen Zhiyuan chose to use his newly learned formation on the mother sword, Binding Spirit.

Cold iron is not much improved in terms of performance compared to dark iron, and the reason why it is classified as a second grade is because it has some cold ice attributes, which is cold to the touch, and can be covered with ice by using spiritual power to stimulate the water, so it is called cold iron.

Chen Zhiyuan chose to attach his Ice Heart Flame to the mother sword, the inscription did not have this effect, and the formation just solved this problem.

The mother sword that was finally built exuded a chilling chill in Chen Zhiyuan's hand, and the table used to place it was quickly covered with a thin layer of frost, and where the sword body came into direct contact, there were already signs of weathering, and a layer of white ash had appeared on the blue-black stone.

Retracting the spiritual power, the chill emitted by the mother sword also subsided, but it was still like an ice cube.

There were two sub-swords, and Chen Zhiyuan did not give them hilts, but made them into two-ended points like Bingling, and then carefully engraved the inscriptions.

It doesn't matter if there are few inscriptions, for Chen Zhiyuan, who has mastered multiple engravings, as long as he does not pursue the limit and engraves it, the inscription is equivalent to several times.

Phantom, Four-Layer, Resonance, Four-Layer, Assimilation, Four-Layer, Ice, Four-Layer, Solid, Six-Layer.

On the small sword body, there was a trace of spiritual power fluorescent on the surface, and the inside was already covered with dense inscriptions.

Chen Zhiyuan held the mother sword in his hand, and pointed at the sword, and the two sub-swords slowly floated up, rotating around Chen Zhiyuan.

With a sword flower in his hand, he saw that the rotating sub-swords were born two, two and three, and the original two sub-swords became six in the blink of an eye, neatly arranged around Chen Zhiyuan.

"Fire!"

Chen Zhiyuan called softly, and a blazing white flame ignited on the mother sword, and a chill began to spread around Chen Zhiyuan, and the runic flames in the open refining furnace became a lot smaller, and the sub-sword passing by the mother sword also ignited this cold flame, just waiting for Chen Zhiyuan to give an order to pierce the enemy in the void.

If it weren't for Chen Zhiyuan's naked upper body now, with large muscles covered with fine beads of sweat shining in the sun, and changing into a long robe to tie up his hair, some people would definitely think that Chen Zhiyuan was a sword immortal.

"Good!"

There was a sound from the crowd out of nowhere, and then there was a sparse applause, and then it slowly turned into thunderous applause in the entire square.

"Master Yuan's good technique, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have known that there was such a skilled refiner as you hidden in our small refining hall!"

You don't need to look at it to know that the one who can speak so exaggerated must be Feng Liang.

"Vice Hall Master Feng has won the award, my alchemy skills are far worse than others. ”

Feng Liang has some problems in his brain, this is something that everyone knows, but after all, he is the deputy hall master, and this is in public, Chen Zhiyuan can only accompany him crazy, and now Chen Zhiyuan only hopes that Feng Yu or someone will hurry up and pull him away.

"It's not bad, it's not bad at all, look at this one, who else is refining the weapon, Master Yuan is the last to finish, and it is really for the finale to do this, this is the first one you are!"

When Chen Zhiyuan heard this, he looked around distractedly, and sure enough, there were more than twenty refining furnaces, only the flame in his furnace had not been extinguished, and the other refining masters were no longer on the field, and their finished products had been neatly placed on the platform in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Swords, guns, swords, claws, armor, hands, pants and shoes, cloaks, all kinds of equipment, Chen Zhiyuan also saw an iron fan in the middle.

"Then I'll have to hurry over there, and we'll talk next time!"

Grabbing the sword with his hand, Chen Zhiyuan took a leap and ran across the crowd towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Eh, why are you in such a hurry?

Feng Liang tilted his head and watched Chen Zhi get farther and farther away from him, could it be that Chen Zhiyuan didn't like to be touted? Doesn't the book say that if you praise a person, he will come back and praise you too?

Taking the sword handed over by Chen Zhiyuan, Ouyang Yushui nodded to Chen Zhiyuan with satisfaction, it was in vain that he spent so much time training Chen Zhiyuan on the knowledge related to the formation, although he hadn't learned it all, but it was not worth his hard work to be able to use it so quickly.

"It will take two days for the results to be evaluated, you should go back and rest first, and the competition of the first product will start in two days. ”

"Good master. ”

Chen Zhiyuan nodded, and just turned around and was about to leave, when he saw a familiar figure, which made him stunned for a moment.

"Hello, master. ”

Liu Li was in the crowd, and he made these five words to Chen Zhiyuan from a distance, and turned to leave.
