On the wine and food, the four of them drank each other, and then listened to Kong Ming's discussion of the heroic spectrum, "If you want to say who is the most talented in refining weapons among the younger generation, when the horse step of thousands of machine gates, this person's fire and gold dual attribute spiritual root is the most suitable spiritual root attribute for refining, and his master is a generation of refining masters, it is said that Ma Buchang became a refiner after only seven years of refining, and now he is only forty years old and can refine the best magic weapon, which can be called the youngest refining master in history." ”

The brothers and sisters of the Su family have obviously heard of Ma Buchang's name, and they are not surprised, but Qin Chuan is amazed, refining is a technical type of work, not only requires talent, but also needs to constantly hone skills, even if this Ma Buchang was born to learn refining, it is only forty years, ordinary people use forty years, at most the name of a refiner, you must know that although the refiner and the refiner master are one word different, the gap between them is equivalent to the difference between middle school students and college students, this Ma Buchang is definitely a demon level existence.

"Then according to Kong Daoyou's opinion, which one is second?"

"Hehe, the wine is full first!"

Qin Chuan smiled, filled it with wine, and then helped the Su brothers and sisters to pour it again.

"This second, when the number of Qi Huaishan, who is known as the six-fingered holy hand, this person has the purple fire in the center of the earth in refining, and occupies a great advantage in refining materials, and the Qi family is a refining family, the magic weapon can maximize the characteristics of the material, and is good at carving, Qi's treasures are all known for their beauty, in my heart, the third year is Ou Qianyan, this person ......"

"Hmph, Ou Qianyan can also rank third?" Someone suddenly interrupted Kong Ming.

The four of them looked at each other, and it was the horse-faced young man who was across the table from them who spoke.

"Oh, who is that fellow Daoist in third place?" Kong Ming said unpleasantly.

"Naturally, it's my Senior Brother Duan!" the horse-faced young man gestured to the red-faced monk sitting across from him.

"The surname is Duan, could it be Duan Tianhong of the Instrument God Sect?"

"No, it's Duan!" the red-faced young monk said proudly, obviously enjoying the feeling of being recognized, but Kong Ming's next sentence made his face look ugly, "It turns out that you are Duan Tianhong, in my opinion, you can barely rank in the top twenty!"

"Hmph, what right do you have to comment on others?"

Su Yifei on the side smiled, "You should have heard of the name of the jack-of-all-trades Kong Ming, with his refining level, I'm afraid it's still above you, right?"

Kong Ming folded his fan and said modestly: "My refining level is not worth mentioning, and I may not even be able to rank in the top five!"

Qin Chuan was speechless for a while, but he fell on the jade slip and saw Kong Ming's name, not only that, but the Su brothers and sisters were also among them, and they were all masters of refining.

Duan Tianhong and the horse-faced young man were finally moved when they heard the words "Know-it-all", and they had the heart to come over and climb to make friends, but the cowhide was blown too big just now, and their faces were a little unbearable, so they had to pay the bill and leave the restaurant stupidly.

After a small episode, the four of them continued to talk about the hero spectrum, Qin Chuan gained a lot of knowledge, and after he was full of wine and food, he left a note for each other and said goodbye.

Four days later, the Northern Division Instrument Refining Competition officially opened, the Anxi Country Lord and the division president of the Alchemist Alliance presided over the opening ceremony, the onlookers can be described as a sea of people, not to mention anything else, the number of refiners participating in the competition alone is as high as more than 1,100 people, this number is probably more than the total number of refiners in the entire Hanhai Continent.

Qin Chuan was a little skeptical, what kind of earth fire room could accommodate more than a thousand people refining weapons at the same time, and there were so many spectators?

Soon he knew that his worries were unnecessary, the location of the refining was a secret realm similar to the Vientiane Space, and only twelve subspaces were enough to accommodate all the monks participating in the Instrument Refining Competition, and the audience could view the grand occasion of the competition through the crystal without affecting the performance of the contestants.

Dugu Xinyue carried out the "pre-war mobilization" for the last time, and then the five people went to draw lots, Qin Chuan drew the number 912, and he was going to the ninth space to compete, and the other four people were also cleverly separated, and none of them were in the same group.

Wang Mingchuan, director of the refiner branch and an acquaintance of Qin Chuan, reiterated the rules of the competition: "Young and handsome, the time of the first round of refining is set at three hours, this round is refining with designated materials, the materials have been prepared for you, what kind of magic weapon to refine depends on everyone's wishes, after the refining is over, the appraiser designated by the alliance will make a decision, and the scoring system is adopted, the failure of refining is zero points, and the refining of magic weapons is ten points;

Twenty points for refining the magic weapon of the lower grade, and ten points for the small best, that is, thirty points;

Fifty points for refining medium-grade magic weapons, and another ten points for small superlatives;

Eighty points for refining the high-grade magic weapon, and ten points for the small best;

Refining a magic weapon of the best or higher will get a perfect score of 100.

The top 300 individuals can enter the next round, and the team ranking is determined by the sum of the total scores of the final contestants, and the alliance will determine the corresponding rewards for each sect and the realm of cultivating immortals according to the group ranking.

Alright, now please enter the Earthfire Space!"

Qin Chuan and the others entered the teleportation enchantment in front of Jingbi, and he unexpectedly found that the guy in the restaurant who claimed to be Duan Tianhong was in the same group as him, but the two sides had no friendship, so naturally there was no need to say hello.

After a slight dizziness, he entered a dark red world, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur, and a long river of lava flowed past him.

The lava river was divided into many partitions, and the number was marked in front of the stone platform in front of the partition, and Qin Chuan found the number 12, and at this time, the monks who were patrolling placed the materials prepared in advance on the stone platform.

Emery, 10,000-year-old cold iron, Ugin, Taiyin stone, and then there is a jade box sealed with a spirit sealing talisman.

Seeing these materials, Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly take a breath, except for the things in the jade box, the other four materials were the four materials mentioned in the "inside information", if the fifth material was a water attribute demon pill, then it could basically be concluded that the title of this competition had really leaked out.

Opening the jade box, a cold breath came out, which was in stark contrast to the heat of this earthfire space.

"It's not a demon pill, it's an ice spirit bead!" Qin Chuan knew in his heart, if it was a water attribute demon pill, with the materials in front of him, it could be refined into a water attribute magic weapon, or an ice attribute magic weapon, but now the thing in the box is an ice spirit bead, so there is only one option to refine it into an ice attribute magic weapon, and the ice spirit bead belongs to the heaven and earth treasure, and this magic weapon has the possibility of refining it into a top-grade magic weapon, otherwise it can only be refined into a high-grade magic weapon.

Except for the Ice Spirit Bead, the other four materials need to be refined, and he is a little nervous for three hours, he must immediately start purifying and smelting, as for what magic weapon to refine, he can think while refining.

I tried the fire formation first, and felt that the temperature of the earth fire was a little low, and the refining materials were related to the final success or failure of refining the magic weapon, if it was found that the materials contained impurities in the end, it was impossible to re-purify them, so he took out a few fire attribute spirit stones and threw them into the earth fire to increase the temperature of the earth fire.

Ten thousand years of cold iron is the main material, so the first smelting, this metal and ordinary black iron melting point is about the same, with the current temperature of the earth fire is enough, in order to save time, he distracted two uses, with rock fire to refine emery, this sand is mainly to improve the hardness of the magic weapon.

The participants were so busy that they didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, while the audience watched the game through Crystal Bi.

"Senior Wang, just now Brother Qin crushed the spirit stone and threw it into the earth fire to raise the temperature of the earth fire?" Dugu Xinyue suddenly asked.

Wang Yiyuan nodded, "Yes, all experienced refiners understand this, you see that your nephew didn't do this, when the time comes, the material will not be purified enough, even if the refining is successful, the quality of the magic weapon is not high!"

Dugu Xinyue said indifferently: "I didn't have any high hopes for him, just let him come to see the world, it's not that you don't know how his refiner qualification came from!"

Of course, Wang Yiyuan knew that because he was going through his back door, he didn't want to get entangled in this topic, so he pointed to the No. 2 Earth Fire Space, "Look at that guy who uses purple fire, he has taken a big advantage in the smelting stage with this hand, as long as he doesn't make mistakes in the future, he will definitely be able to enter the next round!"

"I've heard of him, it seems that his name is Qi Huaishan, and it is said that his hands are six fingers!"

"Hehe, the old man has also heard the nickname of the six-fingered holy hand!"

......

The purification and smelting process is the most delayed, and the refiner with the spiritual fire has undoubtedly taken a big advantage in this regard, among which the fastest is Qi Huaishan, who only took more than half an hour, and the four materials have been purified, and then they began to configure the materials in proportion.

When he took out a small scale, Dugu Xinyue and Wang Yiyuan glanced at each other in unison, and they both saw each other's depression, this should have been the "killer feature" of the five contestants of the Black Mountain Empire, but now it seems that this thing is no longer a secret!

An hour later, Qin Chuan also began to smelt the materials in proportion, and so far he still had an advantage over most of the contestants, but the smelting method he adopted was beyond everyone's expectations, he did not put the materials all together, but divided them into several equal parts and smelted them separately.

There were many masters and grandmaster-level figures present in the Alchemist Alliance, and they couldn't help but light up when they saw this situation, the benefits of this were extremely obvious, and it could greatly reduce the difficulty of smelting, because the larger the number of materials, the greater the difficulty of smelting.

Wang Yiyuan couldn't help but be amazed, and even Wang Mingchuan came over, "Brother Wang, this time there is a real talent under your system, this small improvement has reduced the difficulty of refining weapons a lot, why didn't anyone think of this before?"

"Hehe, we old guys are all rigid, Qin Kid's ability is more than that!" Wang Yiyuan smiled mysteriously and said no more.

Just when Qin Chuan was still smelting, the first magic weapon of the Instrument Refining Competition had been successfully launched, and it was from the hand of the six-fingered holy hand Qi Huaishan, and at this time, it was only half past the stipulated time.

In order to save time, the Alchemist Alliance ordered the patrol monks to take the newly refined flying knife to the appraisal table and hand it over to five appraisers for appraisal.

After Wang Mingchuan obtained the appraisal results from the appraiser, he announced on the spot, "This Ice Spirit Flying Knife of the No. 233 Refiner Qi Huaishan Refining Weapon is of high quality and beautiful shape, and it will score eighty points!"

Speaking from the heart, just talking about the appearance of this magic weapon can sell it at a higher price than the average high-grade magic weapon, but the refining competition only pursues the practicality of the magic weapon, and does not have too many requirements for beauty or not, as long as it doesn't look too bad, so Qi Huaishan has suffered a little loss, and he knows from his expression that he is not very satisfied with the result.

The first magic weapon is a high-grade magic weapon, which caused a commotion in the audience, and some people even bid to buy it on the spot, but because the materials come from the organizer's Anxi country, how to deal with these magic weapons is decided by Anxi country in principle.

The head of the business alliance of Anxi Kingdom also knew how to make fun of it, and announced that after the first round of the competition, there would be an auction, and his shrewdness caused a lot of boos, everyone knew that as long as it was auctioned, the price would inevitably be much higher.

I don't know if this boo worked, the first failed refining work also appeared, in the seventh earth fire space a monk refined a flying sword, when he entered the mana for testing, the flying sword actually broke on its own.

There are many factors that cause this situation, but the most common is that the smelting is not complete, or the purity of the material is not enough, if it is the first case, there is a way to remedy, after all, there is still more than an hour available, and the second smelting is carried out, if it is the second one, it will be completely wasted.

The refiner could only bet on the first case, so he immediately smashed the magic weapon and smelted it twice.

As time passed, people successively completed the refining of magic weapons, and then these magic weapons were handed over to appraisers for on-site identification.

The fast refining speed of the magic weapon itself shows that the refiner is highly proficient, and there are more than a dozen small masterpieces of medium-grade magic weapons and low-grade magic weapons in a row, which proves this.

Of course, there are many failures, because of the relationship of time, it is too late for the second smelting, so they are equivalent to a complete failure.

With the appearance of the second high-grade magic weapon, the first high-tide of the competition is coming, the founder of this magic weapon is Qin Chuan's new friend Kong Ming, in addition to the cold effect attached to the attack, there is also a "dazzling" effect, which can unexpectedly affect people's vision, and was unanimously rated as the small best in the high-grade magic weapon, and won the first ninety points of high score.

Seeing the way he frequently greeted the audience, many refiners were very angry, but their skills were not as good as others, so they had to endure it.

There are good ones, naturally there are bad ones, with Wang Mingchuan announcing the appearance of the first best magic weapon, Dugu Xinyue has an impulse to be ashamed of seeing people, and uses the spiritual materials of refining the high-grade magic weapon to refine the best magic weapon, which is not glorious but shameful, and it is even better to simply refine it.

"Tsk, Dugu Xinyue, your nephew is good!" a good-looking golden-robed young man sneered.

"Lu Yu, you don't have to be complacent, the refiner of your Fengxian Kingdom just now just got a low-grade magic weapon of very poor quality!"

"Poor quality is also a magic weapon, it's better than not entering the stream, right?"

But at this time, another magic weapon was identified, and when Wang Mingchuan announced that the magic weapon was a medium-grade magic weapon, the golden-robed young man laughed, "Dugu Xinyue, there is nothing to say this time, right?"

Dugu Xinyue's face was extremely ugly, but when she saw that there were two monks in the ninth space who had finished refining, and one of them was Qin Chuan, she couldn't help but be full of anticipation......

The state is too bad, just make do with it!
