The location of the mine is so vast, and the miners change shifts every half a month, so that no one notices the anomaly of a certain mine, and a group of people disappear quietly.
Of course, this qiē has nothing to do with Jing Chen, what he wants to think about at the moment is how to get the Xuangu Ice Crystal.
As the refining competition began, the people outside the ice tower gradually dispersed, and it was estimated that it would be three days before they reappeared.
Ice tower in the enclosed space.
The ice condensing chalcedony has been simulated on the fourth layer of the Duobao Pagoda, and it is smooth all the way to refining. After the prototype of the first part of the instrument came out, Jing Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and devoted himself wholeheartedly.
Starting early in the morning of the second day of the game, thunder flashed from time to time over the ice tower, which was caused by someone practicing the talisman.
But it's all thunder and rain.
It's not that everyone has failed to refine the weapon, but the ice tower itself is a heaven-level talisman that Mo Fei has refined to weaken the Thunder Tribulation.
Now the people who participated in the competition on the tower attracted the biggest spiritual level weapon thunder tribulation, and they were naturally weakened.
Fortunately, no matter how much you cut it, it will still leave a trace of thunder in the end to help the refiner finally complete the weapon.
This is also the reason why so many people participate in the Ice Weapon Exhibition - even if it is not the first prize, the opportunity to borrow a heaven-level talisman refining weapon is unique.
An ice-blue stone lotus took shape in Jing Chen's hands, and with the input of heavenly fire, the stone lotus in a budding state unfolded one after another, and the layers of array talismans overlapped on the petals, and the Dao Streamer formed a dense array knot.
However, this is only the first step of refining the prototype.
In Jing Chen's conception, the talisman should be a means to improve his strength, and he was the first to spurn the simple ornamental type.
Then the next refining is the main event!
Zhao Yang, as the supervisor of this exhibition, is himself a Xuan-level low-level refiner, and several inspectors accompanying him walked through each independent "refining room" and couldn't help nodding, "It seems that this year's top prize has attracted a lot of quite talented refiners to come." ”
The man next to him echoed and said with emotion, "Yes, I expect that the quality of this year's ice machine may be the highest in the past twenty years." ”
Several people walked among the participating refiners, stopping and stopping, and they had a little more confidence in the grand occasion of this ice exhibition.
In the sky above the ice tower, the thunderbolts came and went, leaving only small dark clouds, arranged like fish scales, and the power contained in them should not be underestimated.
Day 3.
The refining of the ice lotus has basically been completed, only the last process of refining and opening is missing, Jing Chen looked at the half-palm-sized stone lotus in his hand and frowned.
At this time, Shi Lian looked from the outside, and he couldn't tell that it was made for jade.
It is transparent and clean as a whole, with an almost colorless light blue surface, and eighteen petals are pocket-sized and delicate, each piece is well-proportioned, as if it is a product of creation.
It seems that the material has changed, making the finished product much better than expected...... Jing Chen let out a long breath and looked up at the sky.
Outside the isolated space, he could feel the gathering of the power of the rich thunder, and the thunder tribulation was coming!
After the weakening of the ice tower, the three-day weapon thunder tribulation actually did not bring much substantial damage, and the dense fish scale clouds left in the sky increased, if there was no accident, it would disperse when the refining weapon competition was over.
But it was at this time that the Ice Lotus's weapon thunder tribulation came suddenly.
The thunder cloud it formed was not much bigger than the one that had appeared before, but after staying in the sky above Jing Chen, the cloud next to it actually came closer, and it became bigger and bigger while brewing thunder.
Zhao Yang's instinct is a very ordinary thing, after all, not to mention the last few ice exhibitions, even in the past two days, he has seen a lot of thunder tribulations.
But when the clouds of calamity continued to spread, annexing the rest of the remaining clouds of calamity, he panicked.
Venerable is above, there are obviously no people who have cultivated more than the Xuan level among the people who have signed up for the competition this time, which means that the one with the highest refining attainment is also at the high level of the prefecture level, what is the current situation of this weapon thunder tribulation comparable to the Xuan level talisman?!
Regardless of what others think, the largest weapon tribulation in history has been annexed.
At this time, no matter where the people in Icewave City stood, they only needed to look up slightly and see the big and black thunder mushroom in the center of the city.
The accumulated thunder power made everyone on the ice tower tremble, and some uncertain refiners emitted black smoke from the furnace, and the half-finished ice weapons were directly scrapped.
"How, how is this good?" The middle-aged man who was one of the inspectors looked at Zhao Yang.
The sky changed instantly, as if the night was dark and oppressive, and there was a glimmer of light from the place where the clouds were entrenched, which was of no great use.
Jing Chen tilted his head to sense, stared at the thing in his palm, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Isn't the specification a little too ......?"
I'll go, the two or three grade talisman of the ground level will have a Xuan-level cloud robbery, and it is clear that it is the rhythm of splitting together with me, the refiner.
Oh, and he seems to be the only one on the ice tower.
"Huh." The wind priest who came out of his head looked surprised, "Luckily, this thunder tribulation is stacked with ten layers." “
Jing Chen, "......", where can I see that I am lucky.
"The power of multiple clouds and thunder is mixed, and it seems to be majestic but it is actually not enough." "You can use the Heavenly Fire to resist the first thunder, and then use it to temper the thunder...... Where are the asuras? ”
You just found out he's not there?! Jing Chen burst into tears, "I was dragged to special training." ”
Feng Sai was speechless for a while, "Then, ask for more blessings, I'll go in first." ”
Jing Chener Kang hand.
"Boom, boom." The thunder fell with great sound, and a thunderbolt struck out of the sky that lasted for several breaths.
For a moment, almost everyone held their breath.
"Ah, my talisman!"
"Oops, ruined, ruined."
The domineering and pure thunder power hit the ice tower head-on, and due to the violent fluctuations in the energy of heaven and earth, nearly half of the talismans in the hands of the talisman who were still refining the talisman were scrapped.
Although there was no sound in the independent "refining room", Zhao Yang felt a pain in his flesh when he saw black smoke coming out of the refining furnaces one by one.
It's over, this ice exhibition is over.
His eyes fell on the center of the Cloud Tribulation, which was also where Jing Chen was, and prayed in his heart that the talisman that caused this thunder tribulation would not be refined, or it would be a big loss.
The thunder tribulation is not over yet, and after the first thunder falls, it is much smaller, and the rest are all broken thunderwaves.
Jing Chen's chest churned, and the discomfort was forcibly suppressed by him, sensing that the small thunder outside the house could no longer constitute a threat, so he carefully looked at the "reborn" ice lotus in his hand.
Refined by thunder, the only remaining impurities were eliminated, and the ice lotus material became more and more clear, and a layer of jumping thunder light floated on the delicate and delicate petals, which was not like ordinary things.
"Ahh The small cluster of thunder ignored the isolation talisman array and fell, merging into the ice lotus, and the crystal crystal flashed thunder from the inside out, and the crisp numb texture passed directly from the palm.
The thunder continued for dozens of breaths before it gradually dissipated, and Zhao Yang's eyes fell on the beautiful stone lotus, knowing that the talisman had been completed.
But he couldn't be happy, because in this thunder tribulation, at least sixty percent of the refiners were impressed, and the talismans that he was refining were either scrapped or had flaws.
This is good, the refining competition is about to end, not to mention that this ice exhibition will surpass the previous ones, and even whether it can come up with enough finished products is a question.
The thunderstorm finally dissipated, and the sky above the ice tower was clear, and the people in Ice Wave City rarely saw a glimmer of brightness during the ice exhibition.
Jing Chen put the ice lotus in the display case provided not far away, waited for the others to collect it when it was over, and closed his eyes to breathe.
The site where the ice tower was located was silent, and it took a while for several supervisors led by Zhao Yang to come to their senses and shake their heads with a sigh.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In a rather comical way, most of the exhibits were screened out during the competition, so that most of the residents of Ice Wave City lamented that one session was not as good as one session.
As the culprit of the incident, Jing Chen left the ice tower early and returned to the underground ice cellar, and he was greeted by a fire-breathing baby.
"Yikes." Asura opened his mouth, and the flame qi rushed out of his mouth, and he hurriedly covered his mouth with two small hands, his eyes complaining.
"What did you do to him?" Jing Chen looked at Suzaku and condemned him, that's how you took care of your children?
Suzaku scratched his head and said in a weak heart, "Eh, his hand is slippery, I see that there is a seal in his body, and I can't help but solve it." ”
"So?"
Suzaku's eyes fluttered, "The technique is a little special, and it can't be sealed." After saying that, he hurried to remedy it, and said, "But don't worry, I guarantee that this situation will last for seven or eight days." ”
Seven or eight days, you're embarrassed to say it?! The heavenly fire of the power of the boundary fire is spraying everywhere, you think it is a joke? Jing Chen's words were correct, pondering whether to ask the wind sacrifice to make a move.
"Speaking of which, that seal is really weird, and it can be regarded as unprecedented, but it's a pity that I lost it, otherwise let Old Man Mo take a closer look, maybe he can find the source." Suzaku thumped his head, "Okay, don't talk about this, what's going on with the game?" ”
Jing Chen's face stiffened, "The theme is coincidence, probably it's okay." ”
It was only after he got out of the ice tower that he heard that the expansion of the cloud refining competition was "heavy casualties", and as long as the contestants submitted finished products, the probability of entering the top ten would be several times higher than in previous years.
The ice lotus ranking that is far higher than expected will not be too bad.
Of course, it is best for him not to appear during the selection period, otherwise he will be found to be the culprit who caused multiple lightning disasters, and it is estimated that he will be "beaten to death with a stick".
The selection was not slow, and the results came out the next day.
On that day, Jingchen carried Suzaku and Asura on his back, as well as a dream poison sting in a state of corpse and entered in a low-key manner, but he still couldn't escape Zhao Yang's fire eye and was pulled out.
He was accompanied by nine other top 10 finishers, who sat at the podium.
As the curtain call venue of this year's Ice Exhibition, the Ice Tower Center has obviously been decorated, and ten display cabinets covered with red silk are placed one after another on a large high platform five meters above the ground.
At the beginning of the closing ceremony, the host came to the stage as usual and said a few words, and then drew everyone's attention to the display cabinet in the back.
The first ten have a month's time to enter the mining area, which is the established reward, and who will end up with the Xuangu Ice Crystal is the highlight of the day.
"Now announce the third place." The host's voice was violent, "It is also the only two craft exhibits in the top ten in this exhibition, please take a look!" ”
The display case is particularly tall, three times as tall as the sides, and the red silk covering the display case is unveiled to reveal a beast-shaped ice sculpture, a snow wolf common in the extreme eastern glacial belt.
Its forelimbs jumped up and made a vertical leap movement, but its eyes were not fierce, it did not look like a hunting posture, and its front feet were slightly bent, as if it was playing with people, and it looked cute and cute.
