Chapter 051: Exams
Zhu Shuai followed Haring and Edelweiss to the hall on the first floor of the Charmer's Guild, a place where the examination area was written, and after Haring explained to a charmer here, he turned his head and said: "Zhu Shuai, according to the rules of the exam, you need to refine a spell within two hours, the type of spell is not limited, you decide by yourself, but the materials and refining methods required to refine the charm need to be prepared by yourself, how about it, no problem!"
Hearing Haring say this, the edelweiss on the side immediately pouted and said, "Uncle Haring, you are so stingy, you don't know how to accommodate the people I brought, and you have to prepare the materials yourself!"
"Little Edelweiss, this is the rule, how can I break the rules!" said Harling, laughing helplessly.
"Hmph! It's not stingy. Edelweiss muttered, and immediately asked Zhu Shuai nervously: "Brother Zhu Shuai, do you have any materials with you, if not, I have them here!"
Zhu Shuai smiled and said, "Sister Edelweiss, I have all the materials here, thank you." ”
"Okay, then you follow this teacher to the exam, no one will bother you during the exam, of course, no one will help you, you can't leave the exam area, everything is up to you, if the time is up and you haven't succeeded in refining, then the exam will fail, you pay attention to the time." Harling said with a smile.
"Okay!" Zhu Shuai replied, and followed the previous charmer into the examination area.
Watching Zhu Shuai enter the examination area, Edelweiss pulled Ha Ling to sit down on the side, and kept looking at the direction of the examination area uncertainly.
Seeing Edelweiss like this, a smile appeared on his face, and he laughed: "Little Edelweiss, do you like your friend, for so many years, I have never seen you care so much about a person of the opposite sex." ”
Listening to Haring's words, Edelweiss's pretty face turned red and said: "Uncle Haring, don't talk nonsense, I'm eighteen, Zhu Shuai is only sixteen, and I have always regarded Zhu Shuai as a younger brother." ”
"Haha, that's my old man's overthinking!" said Harling with a smile, looking at Edelweiss with a playful smile in his eyes.
"A bad old man, and he thinks about it every day, huh!" Edelweiss muttered in a low voice.
Zhu Shuai, under the leadership of the spell master, soon came to a secret room, after entering the secret room, the spell master pointed to the stone platform in the middle of the secret room, and said: "You also know the rules of the exam, try to hurry up, if you finish it early, press the button on the wall, I will come and take you out." ”
Zhu Shuai nodded, and the charmer exited the secret room and closed the door.
Zhu Shuai first looked around, and then came to the stone platform and began to look for materials from the ring.
Refining a one-star charm, Zhu Shuai is still relatively sure. Moreover, the time of this exam is two hours, and even if you fail once, you will have enough time to refine it for the second time.
What Zhu Shuai is preparing to refine this time is the more common five-element gram talisman in one-star talismans. Previously, in Xiumu City, he had refined a lot of Five Elements Charm by himself, so he also knew more about the Five Element Charm Charm, and the success rate of refining it was extremely high.
But when Zhu Shuai kept looking for materials in the ring, he found an extremely serious problem.
Among his own rings, there is no first-order beast core anymore!
Previously, in Xiumu City, because of the backing of the mercenary group, there was no shortage of first-order beast cores, and it was very crazy to refine spells by himself, but now he found out that his first-order beast cores had been used up!
The first-order beast core is a necessary thing for refining a one-star charm, and without a first-order beast core, it is impossible to make a one-star charm at all. Zhu Shuai's heart couldn't help but feel that he was still careless, he didn't check his ring, otherwise, he could also find Edelweiss to borrow a few first-order beast cores.
Now that the exam has begun, you can't leave the exam area at will.
Zhu Shuai's brows couldn't help frowning, and he carefully checked the ring again, but there was still no trace of the first-order beast core, and among the rings, there were only two second-order fire-based beast cores.
Forget it, just use this second-order fire beast core to refine it, it's a big deal that after this failure, it's good to take the test again. Thinking like this in his heart, Zhu Shuai did not hesitate, and quickly put the two second-order fire beast cores on the stone platform.
It seems that I can only try to refine the two-star gram gold talisman today!
After making up his mind, Zhu Shuai's mind immediately appeared with the materials and methods for making the two-star gram gold rune, and after confirming it in his mind, Zhu Shuai began to refine it.
The two-star talisman consumes a very large amount of five elements and soul power, and generally can only be refined when the talisman master enters the archmage level, but Zhu Shuai does not have the rest of the beast cores now, so he can only refine it with the attitude of giving it a try.
However, Zhu Shuai had no experience in refining two-star spells before, so he was very careful when refining.
Zhu Shuai first refined the other materials one by one and put them in a special jade bottle, and then picked up a second-order fire-based beast core and threw it into the Netherworld Ghost Fire.
The method of refining the essence of the material is roughly the same, Zhu Shuai has the assistance of the Nether Ghost Fire, and there is nothing wrong, but this second-order fire beast core, Zhu Shuai has not refined it before, so he is very cautious.
The energy in the fire beast core was very violent, and Zhu Shuai constantly controlled the temperature of the Nether Ghost Fire, keeping it at a balance point with the fire beast core, burning the fire beast core.
Finally, the surface of the second-order fire-type beast core began to melt gradually, slowly refining the essence of it.
Zhu Shuai carefully controlled the temperature of the Netherworld Ghost Fire, and after a full hour, he finally succeeded in refining the essence of the fire beast core. Carefully placing the beast core essence in a jade bottle, Zhu Shuai immediately sat down cross-legged, formed a handprint, and began to cultivate.
Constantly controlling the Netherworld Ghost Fire, the fire element in Zhu Shuai's body consumes a lot, this is still Zhu Shuai has the Five Elements Rotation Technique, which can constantly transform other elements into fire elements, if you change to another one-star spell master to refine a two-star spell, it is estimated that even the step of refining will not be completed.
Two-star runes, refining them, are really much more difficult than one-star runes.
After practicing cross-legged for half an hour, Zhu Shuai felt that the five elements in his body had recovered a lot, and Zhu Shuai withdrew from the cultivation state and stood in front of the stone platform again.
Now, it's time for the most critical step in refining the spell, fusion.
Integrating the essence of the material is the most difficult step in refining the talisman, especially with Zhu Shuai's current strength, it is even more difficult to fuse the essence of the two-star talisman.
Zhu Shuai carefully experienced the refining experience left by the teacher in his mind before he began to move.
With a wave of his palm, a cloud of ghostly fire immediately appeared in his palm, and Zhu Shuai carefully controlled it in a reasonable temperature area, and poured several different material essences into it.
There are as many as four kinds of two-star talismans that need to be fused, which is much more difficult than the two types of one-star talismans.
According to his previous experience, Zhu Shuai controlled a small part of the essence of the four regiments, and the huge soul power continued to pull them to fuse. But after some operation, Zhu Shuai found that the repulsion between the four groups of energy essence was extremely great, and he had no ability to forcibly fuse them now, and the refining of the two-star charm was so difficult!
After a tenacious game with the four groups of essences, Zhu Shuai's soul power was consumed greatly, but the four groups of energy essences showed no signs of fusion, and as soon as Zhu Shuai's spirit was relaxed, the four groups of energy essences were immediately burned into nothingness by the Netherworld Ghost Fire.
With a heavy breath, Zhu Shuai sat on the ground sweating profusely. I watched the teacher refine three-star talismans before, and I was extremely calm in my every move, but I didn't expect to refine a two-star talisman by myself, so I was embarrassed.
Zhu Shuai's originally depressed face suddenly became firm. If I can't even refine a two-star talisman, how can I be worthy of the teacher's cultivation! Since I can't fuse the four clusters of energy essence at the same time, then I'll come one by one!
There was a hint of firmness in his eyes, and Zhu Shuai immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recover the five elements consumed in his body.
Now, there are less than two hours left, and the remaining materials can only be used for one more refining by yourself, so you have to recover to your best condition and seize this last chance!
The five elements in his body quickly returned to their peak, and Zhu Shuai stood up, his eyes full of determination. With a wave of his palm, a purple flame appeared, and Zhu Shuai only felt that he had now entered a strange state, and the movements in his hands were much smoother!
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, there was less than a quarter of an hour left before the end of the exam. Edelweiss looked nervously at the exam area, her eyes full of anxiety.
"Little Edelweiss, it seems that this friend of yours is going to fail the exam, it's been so long, if the refining is successful, he should have come out a long time ago. Looking at the uncertain edelweiss on the side, Haring said slowly.
"What's the hurry, isn't it time yet!" muttered Edelweiss. Now, Edelweiss herself is not sure that Zhu Shuai can successfully refine a one-star charm, after all, she has not really seen Zhu Shuai refining a charm, and Zhu Shuai's confidence is completely wishful thinking.
"Haha, don't let me say it, why are you protecting him like this. Besides, in the empire, there is no second person who can refine a spell before the coming-of-age ceremony, except for my perverted senior brother, and your little friend is still young, so it's normal for him to fail in refining!"
"Oh, don't say it, won't you know when the time comes. Edelweiss said irritably.
"Oh, he also said that he doesn't like people, why don't he like people to defend him like this, and the little Edelweiss has also grown up, and the love is just beginning!" Ha Ling teased.
"Uncle Haring, if you talk nonsense, I'll ignore you!" said Edelweiss shyly.
"Okay, it's two minutes away, it seems that your little friend has failed, let's go, let's go comfort and comfort him. Harling said, standing up and pulling the edelweiss towards the exam area.
At this moment, Zhu Shuai, who was sweating profusely, slowly walked out of the secret room.
