Verse 182: Still number one
Middle-earth, East Coast.
The water is choppy, churning endlessly. The cold air overflowed, forming a white mist that shrouded a radius of hundreds of miles.
Hundreds of years ago, a piece of ice drifted from nowhere, leaning against the east coast of Middle-earth. This piece of ice is very huge, like a small island, the cold is pressing, and there are a lot of ice road wild Gu gathered on the ice, as well as three or four cold bushes.
After Xuan Bing was discovered, it quickly caused a sensation at the time.
The Gu masters living on the east coast speculated about the origin of this piece of Xuan Ice.
There are two main theories, the first of which is that since it drifted from further east, it is likely to come from the ice flow of the East China Sea. This sea area is cold all year round, freezing to the bone, and the ice stream is like a long python dragon snake, winding on the bottom of the sea. Once close to the water, huge blocks of ice form.
The second term refers to the ice that breaks up during the day and falls from the daytime. At first, it should be much larger, like a small landmass. However, in the process of falling, friction generates heat, constantly melts, falls into the sea water and extinguishes the heat, and finally becomes this ice island. The smooth, edgeless edges around this piece of ice, as if a candle had melted into heat, is a strong proof of this statement.
The ice was leaning against the beach, not moving.
At first, it attracted many mortal Gu Masters to come and loot. These Gu masters, who were close to the water and got the moon first, all made a windfall. The wild Gu and cold shrubs on the Xuan Ice were all scavenged.
In the following years, Xuan Bing successively ushered in many Gu masters, settled in them, and did not leave.
It turns out that although the resources on the small island of Xuanbing are scarce, it is difficult for Xuanbing to be transformed for thousands of years. The cold air is overflowing, and it is itself a good place for Ice Dao Gu Masters to practice.
The east coast of Middle-earth is warm all year round. Like spring and summer, it is difficult for Ice Dao Gu Masters to practice. Hence this small island of Xuanxi. It has attracted a lot of Ice Dao Gu Masters and Water Dao Gu Masters.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the number of people is increasing, and Iceland is limited in area, and outsiders are coming in one after another. In order to protect their own vested interests, the Gu masters in Iceland spontaneously formed an alliance to enclose Iceland and not open it to outsiders.
As a result, a small force was formed.
After hundreds of years of development. This originally loosely structured loose cultivation alliance gradually solidified and formed a sect because of the emergence of several generations of ambitious leaders in it. It gradually developed, and the sect grew, forming a big force today, and within a radius of thousands of miles, few forces could compete with it.
The name of this sect is called Flying Frost Pavilion. A small island of ice that hints at the roots of the sect. It is a historical origin that drifted from the outside.
The second competition of this year's Central Continent Gu Refining Conference was held in the Flying Frost Pavilion.
Fang Yuan held the token in his hand and came to the Flying Frost Pavilion.
This time, the test question is to refine the ghost fire Gu of the second turn. The rules in the question have also been changed. It is no longer about quantity, like the first question before, but about time.
Require the Gu Master to refine ten Ghost Fire Gu at the same time, and the shorter the time it takes. The higher the score. The question lists a standard, which takes half a stick of incense or less than half a stick of incense. You can get the first. First come, first served, someone gets first. If there is one who gets the first place in the future, it can only be ranked second. If there is someone in the second place, it can only be ranked third. There are people in the top three, and they can only be named Sun Shan and cannot be rewarded.
This time, the reward for the first place is five Gu Fang of the Three Turns Ice Path Gu Worm. It has a huge attraction for Dao Refining Gu Masters, or Ice Dao Gu Masters, or for one of the forces.
When Fang Yuan walked into the arena to refine Gu, the top three positions were still vacant.
"The second game is much more difficult than the first one. It is not difficult to refine the ten Ghost Fire Gu one by one, and it is easy to use less than half a burnt incense. But the difficulty was to refine ten Ghost Fire Gu at the same time. The Ghost Fire Gu belongs to the Flame Dao and the Soul Dao, and the refining is quite cumbersome and complicated, which consumes a lot of the mind. If you refine it for a long time, it is easy to cause your soul to be weak. This is one of the refining characteristics of the Soul Dao Gu Worm. ”
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and decided to use the refining technique of combining the soul path and the flame path to burn the ghost soul and form a fake ghost fire, which was used to refine the real ghost fire.
The Flying Frost Pavilion is a decent family, and the ghost burned by Fang Yuan, of course, he has to prepare it himself. The Flying Frost Pavilion would not provide this kind of Gu refining material.
"Evil Demon Outer Dao!" Seeing Fang Yuan using this method, An Leng outside the field snorted.
The Pavilion Master of the Flying Frost Pavilion, who presided over the scene on the stage, shrank his pupils and thought: "The master of the Five Virtue Sect recruited this person, but he was all rejected. This person is in front of the public, scorching the ghost, which is a demonic act, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve it. Even if the Flying Frost Pavilion recruits this person, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble, so forget it. ”
Participating in the Gu Refining Conference, in addition to not being able to kill with your hands, it doesn't matter if the Gu Master is a demon or not, and it is not forbidden to exclude the Demon Dao Gu Master from participating.
As long as you use the means of refining the Dao, you can learn and communicate. It was precisely because of this atmosphere that the Central Continent Gu Refining Conference became more and more prosperous.
People who don't know the inside story all admire the minds of the ten ancient sects in Central Continent, and only people like Fang Yuan understand that this is related to the undefeated inheritance. The secret demand in the undefeated inheritance is that the more Gu masters who participate, the better.
It's just that there is a difference between good and evil after all, Fang Yuan uses his soul to refine Gu, which hurts the heavens and harmony, and it is a murderous evil method that the righteous path does not tolerate.
The Gu masters who were onlookers, mainly focusing on the righteous path, were very disgusted and disgusted in their hearts when they saw a demon like Fang Yuan, and they couldn't help but hope that Fang Yuan would fail in refining this time.
Xu is unity, their prayers played a role, at the critical moment, the soul fire in front of Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly exploded, ten ghost fire Gu was about to take shape, but one of them turned into ashes, sprinkled down from the flames, and turned into a pile of ashes on the floor tiles.
When everyone saw this scene, their eyes lit up, and there was a straightforward righteous path Gu master, and they even blurted out. But immediately remembering Fang Yuan's fifth transformation, he closed his mouth again, but his flying expression couldn't be hidden.
An Han's face also appeared with a slight joy.
Fang Yuan had brought him extremely pressure, if he followed Fang Yuan's previous progress, he had already reached the last few steps of refining success. Fang Yuan's refining speed was very fast, and the effect of ghost incineration was very significant. If you cross a few steps and refine successfully, the time must be less than half a stick of incense, and the first name is Fang Yuan's bag.
Of course, Fang Yuan didn't have any desire for these rewards and rankings at all.
An Han is not, he is first of all the great worship of the Flying Frost Pavilion, as the host, if he fails, he will really lose face in front of his peers. Secondly, winning the first place in the Gu Refining Conference is an extremely high honor for the Gu Refining Master. The reward for the final place also made An Han very excited.
"Okay, in this way, he will inevitably refine the Gu again. Refining nine Ghost Fire Gus, even if there is only one missing, it is not qualified. Only by starting over and refining ten more can you pass the level if you have to refine them at the same time. An Han reluctantly suppressed the change in his expression, and he was actually very happy in his heart.
"Sure enough, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, even if you use your soul to refine Gu, you will fail. ”
"He's the first place in the first game of Wudemen, that's it. In our Flying Frost Pavilion, the first name must be An Han's!"
"Evil Demon Outer Dao, the failure of Gu refining is really very happy. ”
The crowd of onlookers secretly communicated, of course, there was a Gu array that isolated the sound on the field, and it would not let the sound outside the field interfere with the Gu master refining Gu.
But just when everyone was secretly happy, the ghost fire in Fang Yuan's hand suddenly split and split into two groups.
The two groups were one large and one small, and the large group contained nine Ghost Fire Gu prototypes. In the small cloud of ghost fire, there was nothing.
Fang Yuan's face remained unchanged, he took a deep breath, and finally became a little more serious.
The explosion of the Ghost Fire Gu just now was not his mistake, but the probability of failure of the Gu refining itself. Although the probability of failure of the Second Transformation Gu was not high, and Fang Yuan had already done his best, but when he encountered this probability, he was helpless.
Right now, he kept the large group of ghost fires on the one hand, and threw three souls in a row into the small group of ghost fires with the other hand, one pig soul, one sheep soul, and one soul.
The three souls burned together, and the small group of ghost fire suddenly burst into flames, and there was a whimpering and screaming sound.
"He actually uses human souls!"
In public, he dared to burn even his soul...... This, this, this!"
"Hey, hey, hey, it's worthy of being the fifth level of the Demon Dao, it's so arrogant. ”
The faces of the people in the Flying Frost Pavilion were hard to look at.
They are famous and decent, Fang Yuan openly burned people's souls and refined Gu here with them, and he didn't take the Flying Frost Pavilion into his eyes at all. But at this time, it was the Gu Refining Conference, and even if the Flying Frost Pavilion was unhappy, it couldn't stop Fang Yuan from refining Gu. Unless they want to offend the ten ancient sects, they don't want the sect to continue to circulate.
Fang Yuan's expression was calm, and his main attention was focused on the small group of ghost fires.
He constantly invested in Gu refining materials, controlling the ghost fire to fluctuate from big to small, strong and weak. Reaching the critical step in the middle, he threw a Dan Fire Gu and a Soul Ball Gu into the fire like lightning.
The two Gu worms fused with each other in the fire, and then merged into one, becoming the prototype of the Ghost Fire Gu.
Some Gu masters who knew the goods couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this scene.
"Throwing in two Gu worms in a row, this is the Dao refining technique - re-casting. ”
"Although re-casting is one of the basic Dao refining techniques, when this person uses it, he is extremely proficient, and it is as natural and casual as breathing. This is not something that can be done by talent alone, it has to be practiced and penanced countless times to achieve such a state. ”
"Could it be that this person's major is cultivation and can't succeed?"
When he signed up, the sect and school were kept secret. He is a genuine demon cultivator, there should be no sect, and the school may be refining the Dao. ”
There was speculation.
Of course, they didn't guess for sure.
Fang Yuan's main cultivation school is currently the strength of the Dao, and it can't compete with the Eight Poles of Refining Dao. He also has an official sect status, and belongs to the Immortal Crane Sect of the Ten Ancient Sects of Central Continent.
If everyone knew that the murderous demon in front of them was actually a person from the Crane Gate, I don't know what expression it would have.
After a few moments, Fang Yuan succeeded in remedy, reuniting the two ghost fires into one.
The last few steps came down in an orderly manner, and there were no more surprises.
In the end, the ghost fire suddenly dispersed, and ten ghost fire Gu flew out together.
There was silence outside the venue, and no one spoke.
The Flying Frost Pavilion Elder's face turned pale, and he reluctantly announced: "The Gu refining is successful, it takes less than a stick of incense, and the first place in this field is Fang Yuan." (To be continued......)
