After Meng Gu killed Wei Mei and saved Chu Yue, he told Chu Yue about everything that happened with Li Xunyuan in the burial of Longyuan before. Chu Yue was furious after hearing this, and pulled Meng Gu to go back to Jingyao City to settle accounts with Li Xunyuan. Meng Gu shook his head and said, "Li Xunyuan knows that I am not cultivating the Terran Martial Arts, so if we rashly confront each other, we may not be able to take advantage of anything. ”

Chu Yue was silent, recalling the scene when Meng Gu fought against the ghost, which still made him shudder.

"When the matter here is settled, let's go back to the Five Color Pavilion first, Li Xunyuan is at a loss, forgive him for not daring to do anything to you." If my sister and Ou Linlin see you, I don't know how happy they will be!" Chu Yue said excitedly.

Meng Gu nodded, he had disappeared for more than half a year, and it was time to go back and report to everyone that he was safe.

Meng Gu accompanied Chu Yue to stay at the border for a few more days, and it was strange to say that the demon clan that had repeatedly come to attack before had disappeared without a trace.

On this day, Chu Yue received news from the capital that the demon clans that had frequently harassed the borders of various parts of the Dongsheng Divine Realm had suddenly retreated for some reason, and they could return to Jingyao City.

————————

At midnight, Jingyao City Five-color Pavilion.

Chu Yue and Meng Gu deliberately chose to return to the city late at night to avoid people's eyes. Although Chu Yue had sent back the message in advance, Ou Linlin still couldn't help crying when she saw Meng Gu, and Chu Tong was also in tears.

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Chu Tong said indignantly: "This Li Xunyuan is sanctimonious and ruthless, and he deserves death!"

Chu Tong adjusted his emotions and said to Meng Gu: "The demon clan is becoming more and more restless, Lord Donghuang is recruiting capable people in the Dongsheng Divine Realm, and wants to select ten of the best forging masters, cast a hundred divine weapons, and then select a hundred young warriors with potential to match these divine soldiers to them, focusing on cultivating them to become the pillars of the Dongsheng Divine Realm." In a few days, there will be a primary election, and Jingyao City has fifty combat power places and five forging places, and after arriving in the capital, it will compete with masters from all over the world for the final seat. You're back, and this forging quota is none other than you!"

Meng Gu was still a little worried and said, "I suddenly appeared like this, is it appropriate? Li Xunyuan can turn a blind eye?"

"Don't participate in the selection with your true face first, leave Li Xunyuan's matter to me to deal with, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Meng Gu nodded, thought for a moment and said, "That... Can I do both?"

Chu Tong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and promised, "No problem." ”

————————

In a cabinet deep in the Five-Color Pavilion, Chu Tong sat opposite a white-haired old man.

"Is that Meng Gu really worth doing this for the Five Color Pavilion?" the old man looked hesitant as he asked.

"Yes, I decided. Chu Tong replied resolutely.

The old man looked at Chu Tong for a long time, sighed and said, "Okay, I trust your judgment. ”

"Thank you, Great Elder, there is Elder Lao!" Chu Tong got up and bowed out of the door.

The next day, a big news broke out in Jingyao City -- Li Xunyuan, the elder of the Donghe Sect, was mysteriously killed! Rumors soon spread in the city, and the version that the killer of the Thai Palace entered the city to assassinate the elder of the Donghe Sect was the most ferocious......

Selecting capable people for the Eastern Emperor was a top priority, and Donghezong had no time to carefully investigate the killing of the elder. A few days later, Donghezong and the Five Color Pavilion jointly announced the selection rules: the fifty combat power quota is 25 people from each of the two major forces, and the age is required to be under 25 years old, and the cultivation is above the stone steps.

The Five Colors Pavilion had carefully selected twenty-five young masters, and one of them, a mysterious boy wearing a white bone mask, was none other than Meng Gu. Chu Yue originally didn't want to participate, but later he thought that Meng Gu still had enemies of the Duan family in the capital, and he was very worried, so he also joined in, in case of any accidents, he, a disciple of the Eastern Emperor, could also come forward to stop it.

Three days later, Jingyao City Competition Square was crowded, there were more than ten forging platforms in the center of the square, and the competition for the number of forgers began!

The envoy of the capital city personally came to Jingyao City to judge the competition, and the importance that the Eastern Emperor attached to the forging master can be seen. Chu Tong, the master of the Five-Color Pavilion, Li Gu, the sect leader of the Donghe Sect, and several elders on both sides who rarely showed up were also sitting in the stands, and Chu Yue and Li You were also among them.

The five senior forging masters of Donghe Sect were all present, and there were also five forging masters who had no sect and no faction, Ou Linlin of the Five Color Pavilion and Meng Gu who wore a mask naturally also signed up to participate, and a total of twelve people competed for these five seats.

The envoy of the capital stood up, opened the sealed letter in his hand, and began to read out the rules of the competition: "Unified use of refined iron ore forging, two pieces per person, limited to three hours, the forged weapons must be of high quality or above, and the best ones will be selected!"

The envoy carried twenty-four pieces of refined iron ore to the stage and distributed them to the players, and many forgers looked at the materials in their hands and frowned and shook their heads: "It is too difficult to forge high-quality weapons in such a short period of time for only two pieces of refined iron ore......"

A gong sounds, and the game begins!

Ou Linlin's attainments in forging in the past six months have really improved by leaps and bounds, and the purification of molten ore is calm and unhurried, and the fire is accurate, showing the great style of the sword-casting family. Meng Gu looked at Ou Linlin with relief on the side, and did not rush forward to smelt.

Meng Gu swept the others with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help frowning, only to see a forging master of the Donghe Sect hiding it, taking out a small pill from his arms and secretly throwing it into the furnace, Meng Gu didn't know what it was, in short, it must not be a light method!

The name of the small pill is called "Iron Pill", which is a secret heirloom of the forging institution directly under the Eastern Emperor - the Forging Mansion, and adding the Iron Pill when melting the ore can easily purify and improve the grade of the raw materials. Li Gu, the sect leader of Donghe Sect, knew that this selection must not be so simple, so he asked for a chemical iron pill for each of the forging masters under his disciple through the relationship of Prime Minister Li Tong. Everyone else is forging from iron ore, and it's like cheating when they do that.

The five people of Donghezong quickly completed the purification of the molten ore with the help of the Iron Pill, and first entered the hammer forging stage, Li Gu and Li You showed confident smiles on the stage.

Half an hour later, Ou Linlin had also completed the purification, and there were still five burnt blacksmiths on the other side of the furnace and Meng Gu, who had not yet started.

In the stands, the Great Elder of the Five-Color Pavilion leaned sideways and whispered to Chu Tong: "That is Meng Gu?"

Chu Tong nodded.

The Great Elder frowned slightly, and asked, "Why hasn't he started yet?"

Chu Tong laughed and whispered, "I don't know what he plans to do, but I have special confidence in him." ”

The Great Elder looked at Chu Tong, shook his head helplessly, and continued to look at the audience with curiosity.

The five forging masters without sects also entered the hammer forging stage one after another, and it was almost two hours at this time, and the sound of forging hammers came and went one after another, and only the calm Meng Gu was left on the other side.

"A forging master of the Donghe Sect has been completed, please move to the waiting area!" the envoy of the capital announced loudly.

There was a burst of exclamations from the stands, and everyone was surprised that the forging master of Donghezong had completed the forging so quickly.

The blacksmith walked proudly towards the waiting area, his face full of pride.

Immediately after that, there was another exclamation in the stands, and the forging master felt very strange, this second exclamation was obviously not for him, and hurriedly turned around to look, but saw that the mysterious forging master with a white bone mask spread his arms and carried the exercises, and a powerful cyclone was instantly generated! The twelve surrounding furnaces gradually moved closer to the man under the gravity of the cyclone, and finally formed a regular circle.

Each furnace weighs at least four or five hundred, and this person can actually move it with his strength, as a forger, and still has such a cultivation? The audience instantly boiled, and even the elders of the Five Color Pavilion and the Donghe Sect also looked sideways.

This is not the end, Meng Gu walked to the forging table again, grabbed the anvil weighing more than 1,000 catties, easily dragged it to the furnace, looked left and right, felt that the position was okay, and nodded slightly.

The audience in the audience was completely crazy! Presumably, there had never been such a forging master in the history of the Dongsheng God Realm! The Great Elder of the Five Color Pavilion leaned into Chu Tong's ear again, and said with a smile: "This son is interesting, interesting! You really didn't see the wrong person!"

The other forgers, including Ou Linlin, were also deeply surprised, and everyone was a forger but couldn't understand his routine at all. There was no room for distraction during the hammer forging stage, and everyone had no time to think about it, so they continued to forge their own weapons.

Meng Gu used his strength to concentrate the flames of the twelve furnaces in the center, and the temperature increased by many times!

In less than a cup of tea, Menggu completed smelting and purification. With a wave of his hand, the fiery red iron ore landed steadily on the anvil, and then threw a blade of air with his hand, splitting it into two! The forging hammer fell high, sparks splashed everywhere, and then the sound of the forging hammer reached people's ears like a storm!

"Condenser soul, Cheng!"

"Condenser soul, become!" ......

Just when Meng Gu was swinging his hammer like rain, someone completed the forging one after another, Ou Linlin was the fourth to complete it, she forged a short dagger, two inches wide and five inches long, and the cold light was pressing.

"There's still a quarter of an hour left until the end of the game!" shouted the Metropolitan Envoy.

Now there are only Meng Gu and three forgers without sects left in the arena.

As the minutes ticked by, the envoy of the capital stood up again and shouted, "End the countdown - nine, eight, seven, six......"

"Quench! Cheng!" Meng Gu suddenly flashed two cold lights! The anvil was instantly cut in half and fell to the ground with a bang.

"I'm done. Meng Gu said.

"The competition is over!

There are a total of nine weapons cast on time, due to the limited time and raw materials, most of them are weapons that do not need to be crafted such as axes and hammers, and one of them has not reached the high-quality level and was eliminated.

The envoy of the capital city looked at the works of the five forging masters of Donghezong in turn, and nodded approvingly. When he took Ou Linlin's dagger, there was a puzzled expression on his face, and he weighed it repeatedly.

Ou Linlin said: "A high-quality dagger, the soul of the weapon is light and the wound is cursed. ”

The envoy of the capital nodded excitedly and said: "Well, amazing! It can condense two pieces of refined iron ore into such a delicate dagger without loss, it is extremely tough and light to carry! You are the descendant of Ou Yezi, right? The Ou family's method of forging swords is really mysterious!"

The envoy of the capital finally walked up to Meng Gu, looked at the masked young man curiously, and then asked in surprise, "You... Forging two swords in such a short time?"

In front of Meng Gu were two fine iron short swords, a slight cold light flashed on the sword, the two short swords were actually exactly the same! Even the delicate lines of the sword body were the same!

The envoy of the capital picked up the two swords and looked at them carefully, with an extremely shocked expression on his face!

Meng Gu bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Two high-quality short swords, the soul of the instrument is true water damage and attack increase. ”

"You... You... These two short swords are exactly the same! Even the soul is the same!" The envoy of the capital city is also a person who has seen the world, he definitely does not believe that there is such a coincidence in the world, and he vaguely feels that this young man with a white bone mask is by no means an idle person!

The envoy of the capital adjusted his mood and said to Meng Gu: "I want to bring these two short swords back to the capital, can I?"

"No problem, I've got it for you. Meng Gu said indifferently.

In the stands, Li You stood up suddenly, pointed at Meng Gu and shouted, "Who are you?!" Seeing Li You like this, the rest of the Donghe Sect also got up and looked at Meng Gu below.

Although Li You is a gentleman with a bad personality, he is definitely an extremely smart person, otherwise how could he be among the masters of the stone steps at a young age. Before, he broke Chu Yue's sword, and he was worried that the Five Color Pavilion would come to him to claim compensation, but who knew that he got the news the next day, and Chu Tong and Chu Yue changed to a more suitable new sword at the same time. He had secretly observed that the two swords were actually identical! And not long after, the Five Color Pavilion Forge appeared, who else could forge the new sword for the two sisters and brothers?

But Li You has no doubt that "Ling Xu" (Meng Gu's pseudonym) is dead, although he has also asked Li Xunyuan what happened in the burial of Longyuan before, but Li Xunyuan insisted that the refining dragon heart mine exploded, he said that "Ling Xu" is dead, then he must be dead, the elder grandfather has no reason to lie to him on this issue, and now that Li Xunyuan is also dead, Li You has no chance to verify it again. Today, when he saw someone forging two identical weapons again, he was completely confused, and he had a hundred question marks in his heart.

Meng Gu looked at Li You and didn't answer, but fortunately, with a mask, others couldn't see his nervous expression now.

"That's the old man's closed disciple!Do you have to explain to you?!" Just when Meng Gu didn't know how to deal with it, a loud voice broke the embarrassment.

A white-haired old man stood up sharply and glared at Li You angrily.

It was the Great Elder of the Five-Color Pavilion who helped Meng Gu break the siege, Zhang Daolin, the number one master of Jingyao City, who was the 5th level of the Jade Rank!

Seeing that Zhang Daolin was angry, everyone in Donghezong didn't dare to say more, and they all sat back obediently. Li You was in a cold sweat, and muttered in his heart: This old man still has such a powerful closed disciple! It is reasonable for his disciple to be willing to forge a sword for the Chu family sisters and brothers......

Meng Gu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he didn't know who this old man was, but he was willing to stand up for him at this time, and he also understood a little in his heart, when he returned to the Five Color Pavilion, he must thank this master in person.

The final results of the selection of the forging division were released: Meng Gu ranked first, Ou Linlin was second, and the other three places were all taken by the forging masters of Donghe Sect.

Three months later, the five of them were on their way to the capital.
