Chapter 73: Strange Tricks
"Elder, isn't this Zhang Chao arrogant? he thinks that his ability can compete with the two of us, so his subordinates suggest that the two of us join forces to refine one, compared with the magic weapon he refined, if he can win, it means that his ability is enough to replace us!" Mingqiu deserved to be an old fox, his eyes rolled, and he immediately made such a request.
"That's right, Elder, what Vice President Mingqiu said is extremely true, if he can defeat one of us alone, what kind of ability is it? His ability does not mean that he can replace us!" Zhao Hong gritted his teeth and echoed: "But if he can defeat the two of us together, then the two of us are willing to be punished!"
Zhao Hong thought very clearly in his heart, his refining methods have advantages and disadvantages, and if he joins forces with Mingqiu, he can just make up for his own shortcomings, so that the advantages of the two people can be combined and fully displayed.
Even if his Zhang Chao's refining level was extremely high, it was impossible to do better than them because of his cultivation.
Besides, he and Mingqiu are both Erding forgers, and that Zhang Chao is just a little white man, and he doesn't even have the title of forger, what are you afraid of him doing?
As for Zhang Chao's refining of a suspected ground-level axe magic weapon in Qiao's house before, it was not his own strength, so many masters of the Qiao family were assisting him at that time......
Thinking of this, he turned his heart out and said such words.
"Zhang Chao, what do you think?" the chairman nodded, and then asked Zhang Chao what he meant.
"Yes, the juniors think what they said is right, so I took this challenge!" Zhang Chao was full of confidence, from the mouths of those thugs just now, he had already learned what the refining level of this Ming Qiu was.
I thought that Ming Qiu was older and more threatening, but in fact, his level was not much different from Zhao Hong, and even slightly inferior.
If this is the case, Zhang Chao is relieved.
Zhao Hong's refining level, he is extremely clear, after all, the silver fish magic weapon was refined by Zhao Hong with all his efforts, and then it was borrowed by one of his nephews, that is, in Lao Li's blacksmith shop, the thug who was knocked by Zhang Chao.
"Good courage, since there are no objections, let's get started!" the president commanded.
After a short time, several subordinates carried two refining furnaces and a pile of materials into the hall of the president.
"In terms of refining furnaces, you can all use the same tools, and the other tools you need for forging are your own choice, and you can take what you think you can take advantage of!" The president said: "What I asked you to refine is a human-level high-grade magic weapon, this is the refining blueprint of the magic weapon, take it and see it!"
With that, he raised his hand and threw the two bamboo pieces in front of Zhang Chao and Zhao Hong respectively.
On the bamboo slices, there is a record of the refining method of a magic weapon.
This treasure is called the wind thunder rod, it is a hidden weapon for attack, when used, it takes advantage of the wind to travel, the speed is extremely fast, it contains thunder and lightning, it can paralyze the body of the target, it is extremely powerful, and it is impossible to prevent it.
After reading the drawings, Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu all sneered.
The refining of this magic weapon is very cumbersome, and it requires a high degree of control of the fire in the refining furnace, which is also equivalent to the requirement of cultivation, and must reach a certain level.
The two of them, one is responsible for condensing and the other is responsible for controlling fire, and they will soon be able to refine this magic weapon.
And Zhang Chao is only alone, and his cultivation is far inferior to them, so he is bound to be in a hurry, and I am afraid that he will not be able to control the fire temperature well.
Before the comparison began, the advantages and disadvantages were already very obvious.
"Let's start!" With the president's order, Zhao Hong and Mingqiu immediately started, first picking out the required materials, and then began to light the stove, warm the furnace, and quench.
The whole process is methodical and extremely fast.
But after Zhang Chao finished selecting the materials, he kept standing in front of the furnace and meditating, not knowing what he was studying.
He didn't even light the stove, his brows tightened, and he kept looking at the little piece of bamboo.
"Hahaha, look at him, isn't he blinded? Hmph, even if he really has the ability, but he doesn't have enough experience in refining weapons, it is undoubtedly a suicidal move to try with us!" Zhao Hong glanced at Zhang Chao and couldn't help laughing: "Besides, he wants to join forces with the two of us alone, just with this kind of thought, he has already lost!"
"That's right, he hasn't even lit the furnace fire until now, and after we finish refining, I'm afraid he won't even finish the refining steps!" Mingqiu also had a gleam in his eyes and sneered.
The president's expression moved, and he was also a little puzzled by Zhang Chao's behavior.
Time passes slowly.
Zhang Chao stood in front of the cold refining furnace for half an hour.
On the other hand, Zhao Hong and Mingqiu have basically completed the quenching of the materials, and they plan to enter the next step, synthesize the quenched materials, and start forging.
At this moment, Zhang Chao patted his head, as if he had suddenly figured out something, quickly turned around, and picked up the large pile of materials on the ground.
"It's strange, what else is he looking for? Haven't all the materials needed to refine the Wind Thunder Rod been selected?" Zhao Hong's expression moved, and he muttered to himself puzzled.
"Maybe he doesn't have confidence in the refining of this magic weapon, and he's afraid that the first furnace will fail, so he has to pick another one out for backup, right?" Ming Qiu also guessed suspiciously.
But seeing Zhang Chao rummaging through the pile of materials for a long time, he picked up a snow-white leaf: "There is, it's it!"
"What is he doing with that thing?" Zhao Hong was even more puzzled.
Cold marrow leaves, which are produced in the far north, are extracted from a broad-leaved cold-tolerant plant, and their nature is extremely cold, often when refining some cold attribute magic weapons, a few pieces will be added to enhance the coldness of the magic weapon, and it can also stabilize its characteristics.
Immediately after, Zhang Chao turned out several more materials, all of which were the attributes of the coldest.
What kind of velvet leaves, snow stones, deep cold beads and the like.
"Is there something wrong with this guy's head?" Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu glanced at each other, both feeling very puzzled.
"This kid is going to ......" The chairman also sat up slightly straighter from his chair and stared at Zhang Chao intently.
"Hehe, in this case, it's almost there!" Zhang Chao grinned, and then took those cold attribute materials to the refining furnace, still did not light the furnace fire, but instead used Yuan Force to crush those materials and directly put them into the place where the fire was ignited below.
As if it wasn't enough, he took out a few more spars, as if he was very distressed and hesitated for a moment, before crushing them and mixing them with those cold attribute materials.
Driven by Yuan Li, all the cold qi in those materials rose and was released, and in an instant, the refining furnace was covered with a layer of frost.
The air around them suddenly dropped, with the refining furnace as the center, and the surrounding half of the body began to turn white and frost.
"Hell, why did he make it so cold? Did he want to give up directly?" Zhao Hong and Mingqiu's eyes widened, and they shook their heads in disbelief.
"I see, it's a cold refining method!" The president's breathing became a little short, and his eyes widened: "I didn't expect this kid to be so young that he even knew such an ancient refining method!"
If others can't see it, he can see it.
The cold refining method, as the name suggests, is contrary to the normal refining technique, but the final effect achieved is not the same.
Zhang Chao thought very clearly.
Just after repeatedly studying the drawings of the wind and thunder array, I feel more and more that this magic weapon has extremely high requirements for the fire of the refining weapon, and although I can meet the requirements of this fire, it will consume a lot of physical strength and time, no matter in any aspect, it is far inferior to the joint efforts of Zhao Hong and Mingqiu.
Rather than this, it is better to break the conformist rules and change to other ways to refine.
Suddenly, he thought of the cold refining method mentioned in the "Ten Thousand Things Refining Method".
The cold refining method is a niche refining method, which has almost been lost to this day, and few people use it, after all, this refining method, although it removes the control factor of the fire, but it greatly increases the loss of refining materials.
For example, the cold attribute materials he had just found had to be completely consumed, which was too expensive compared to the charcoal blocks needed for ignition in ordinary refining.
But here and now, he doesn't have to worry about the cost, after all, all the materials are borne by the Iron Composite Association.
He was also worried that these cold attribute materials were not enough, so he deliberately learned the working methods in the iron incinerator and used the power in the spar to increase the cold qi, although he was a little distressed, but in order to be able to win, he could only endure the pain and cut his love.
But Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu didn't know about the existence of the Cold Refining Method, and the two guys were obviously confused when they faced Zhang Chao's strange moves......
