Qin Chuan sighed secretly, he still underestimated the vigilance of others, but he would not put his safety in the hands of others, and while retreating, he pushed out his palms, and the two monks who stepped forward to catch him were "flying kites".

"Dare to resist, there is no forgiveness for killing!" The Jindan period lieutenant gave an order, and everyone took out the magic weapon one after another, Guo Zheng and Zhang Hu hesitated for a moment, and also took out the magic weapon.

The battle was about to break out, and at this moment, the sound of breaking the air came, and a warship flew from far and near, and flew to a stop in front of him in a blink of an eye.

"It's the Crescent Moon County Lord here!" Everyone including the Jindan Period Commander put down their magic weapons, and their eyes showed awe.

The flying magic weapon came in a blink of an eye, and the five female cultivators floated down very chicly, the most eye-catching was a female cultivator in front of the head, with a phoenix-winged helmet on her head, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her long eyelashes were like talking every time she blinked, and her figure was slender, and she looked very enchanting against the backdrop of the very well-fitting silver armor.

Walking up to the fierce Du Lieutenant with his snow-white neck high, the Du Lieutenant immediately showed a flattering smile, "Your Royal Highness the County Lord, Chen San is polite, if the garrison knows that you are coming, he will definitely come out to greet you in person!"

"Well, Chen San, what's going on with the tension on your side?"

"The county lord doesn't know that something happened to the Fengxian army on the other side of the White Bone Wasteland, and this person came to defect at this time, so I suspect that he is a spy!"

"Oh, Tou Cheng?

"That's right," the lieutenant recounted what had happened.

The silver-armored woman nodded, turned her head to Qin Chuan with a little playfulness and said, "What did Daoyou say?"

"Hmph, are you Montenegrin Army so gracious and avenging?"

In a word, Guo Zheng and Zhang Hu both lowered their heads with shame, regardless of whether Qin Chuan was a spy or not, they were indeed revenge, and it was inevitable that they would have a loss in conscience.

The lieutenant of the Jindan period disagreed, "I'd rather kill the wrong person than let it go, even if you are wronged, kill it!"

"Hehe, I see, if you Montenegrin Empire are all this kind of people, I dare to say that it is not far from the end!"

"You..."

"I'm wrong, as long as people use a small anti-plot to say that you are actually an undercover agent, presumably people who have the same idea as you will rather kill the mistake than let it go, and then there will be people in your Montenegro country who are worth trusting?"

As soon as these words came out, many of the people of the Montenegrin Army present felt a chill in their hearts, although Qin Chuan's words were biased, but it was unfortunate that the Montenegrin Empire had experienced this kind of purge, and many people were unjustly killed in this way.

"Hehe, what Daoyou said is right, Chen Duwei's words are not advisable most of the time, I took him to apologize to Daoyou, and thank Daoyou for his help!" After speaking, the silver-armored woman fluttered a blessing.

"The county lord can't!"

"Chen San, do you know that Hao Bin actually died at the hands of this fellow Daoist, if he wants your life, I'm afraid it won't be difficult!"

"What? how is this possible..."

"What's impossible, you already know about the movements of the Fengxian Army, but you don't know why this happened!"

"But... He is not yet in the golden pill stage!"

"This is also where I am confused, this fellow Daoist doesn't know if he can solve his doubts?" The silver-armored woman turned her head to look at Qin Chuan again.

Qin Chuan sighed, he didn't expect that he would be exposed as soon as he came to Zhongzhou, and it would be difficult to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in the future, but he also had some questions, "How did the county lord determine that Hao Bin's death was committed by Xia?"

The silver-armored woman smiled slightly, and a jade slip was thrown over, Qin Chuan took it and took a look, there was a picture of him in the jade slip, and his heart was clear.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a talisman!" He naturally wouldn't say that he relied on the power of the spirit treasure, in that case, he would be guilty of it.

"Immortal talismans?"

"Yes, it's a pity that the master gave him an immortal talisman from his old man!"

Everyone couldn't help but suddenly, a fake Dan period monk, even if he has a powerful magic weapon, it is even more difficult to kill a battle-hardened Yuan Infant Stage at the second level, if there is an immortal talisman, it is easy to say, although the immortal talisman is as scarce as the spiritual treasure, but some old guys with profound knowledge can't get one or two, and it is too normal to give it to the disciple to save his life.

The silver-armored woman became interested in the master in his mouth, the Black Mountain Country and the Fengxian Country belong to the "border wilderness" region of Zhongzhou, and those who have immortal talismans are definitely not ordinary people, "Who is the master who dares to ask Daoyou, this time thanks to the help, my Dugu family should be given a generous gift!"

Qin Chuan heard the other party's intention to win over, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, casually saying that a master who was a non-existent master, and actually wanted to make up another lie to round it up, but he suddenly had an idea, one of the main purposes of his coming to Zhongzhou was to inquire about the whereabouts of the ghost hand distraction, and it was not bad to use him to prevaricate, in case the other party had heard of this person, wouldn't it be an unexpected joy?

"Master Lower has always been fluctuating, I just wanted to ask if you have heard of Xia Zhiyang!"

"What, you are actually Xia Zhiyang's apprentice?" the silver-armored woman's reaction was a little loud.

"What, do you have any news about his old man?" Qin Chuan's face showed a look of joy, he really didn't expect to have Xia Zhiyang's whereabouts so easily.

The silver-armored woman calmed down her emotions, "It's not just me, there are really not many people in this radius who don't know the name of your master, more than ten years ago, your master made a big fuss about the artifact sect, could it be that Daoist friends don't know?"

"Artifact Sect? more than ten years ago? Oh... At that time, I was in retreat, can the fairy know what happened to my master?" Qin Chuan asked eagerly.

The silver-armored woman did not doubt it, and said slowly: "I heard that she was injured by the Supreme Elder of the Artifact Sect and escaped, and there has been no news since then!"

Qin Chuan's expression changed several times, on the one hand, he felt sorry for missing Xia Zhiyang, and on the other hand, it was a blessing in misfortune to learn that the other party was not dead.

The silver-armored woman thought that he was worried about the safety of his master, so she comforted: "With the strength of your master, since you can escape from the hands of the cultivators of the Transformation Stage, there is no problem in self-preservation, just now I heard Chen San say that you want to gain a foothold in my Black Mountain Empire, I can help with this, maybe your master will come back in the future, and you will have a day to meet!"

Solving the identity problem is indeed the most important thing for Qin Chuan at the moment, but since the Instrument God Sect has an ancestor of the God Transformation Period, it must not be a small sect, with his identity as an "apprentice of Xia Zhiyang", if it is exposed, wouldn't this Black Mountain Empire ask for trouble? Therefore, he felt that the words of the silver-armored woman could not be fully believed.

"Fairy, don't bother, after all, the Instrument God Sect is not easy to mess with!"

"Hehe, are you worried that I will sell Daoyou, right? This is not beneficial to our Black Mountain Empire, I can swear that I have no malice towards Daoyou, of course, helping Daoyou is not completely purposeless, on the one hand, it is to thank Daoyou for his previous help, on the other hand, it is indeed a little little thing that needs Daoyou's help!"

"Oh, tell me about it?"

"Since Daoyou is a disciple of Senior Xia, he must also have some attainments in refining, right?"

"Refining, I am stupid in my qualifications, but I only understand it slightly!" Qin Chuan felt that the span of the other party's topic was a bit large.

The silver-armored woman smiled, "Famous teachers produce high apprentices, Daoists don't have to be modest, I want to ask Daoyou to help me to participate in the 'Instrument Refining World' competition on behalf of my Black Mountain Empire!"

"Refining the World Competition, what is this?"

The silver-armored woman's face couldn't help but show a strange look, "Daoyou Master Inherits Refining Weapon Grandmaster, but you don't know about the Refining Weapon Competition?"

Of course, Qin Chuan couldn't say that he had just come to Zhongzhou, his eyes were dark, "It's not a secret, I have been living in seclusion with my master before, and his old man has rarely said anything outside except for refining weapons, so I don't know anything about the things in the immortal cultivation world, and I don't even have an identity!"

"I see, the so-called Instrument Refining Competition is organized by the Zhongzhou Alchemist Alliance, once every 20 years, divided into five sub-divisions......

The silver armor woman explained the situation of the refining competition in detail, and Qin Chuan understood that the refining world competition was a miracle, which was roughly equivalent to the "professional league of refining", which included both the factor of interest and the element of entertainment.

For example, if someone in the Black Mountain Empire can enter the top ten of the northern division where they are located, they can obtain a warship with a pseudo-spirit treasure pole, which is of great strategic significance to their empire, because the warship will carry four sets of Shenwu Open Heaven Array and one set of Convergence Spiritual Light Array.

Qin Chuan had already learned the power of this flying magic weapon, and the Pseudo Spirit Treasure Pole's warship was several times more powerful than the one he had seen, so all the immortal cultivation forces were very interested in this kind of reward, and the Black Mountain Empire was no exception, and even if it couldn't enter the top ten, as long as the ranking was not too bad, there would be other rewards.

"I have agreed to participate in the Instrument Refining Competition, but I still have a few questions to ask, what qualifications are required to participate in this kind of competition, and with the strength of your country, will there be a shortage of candidates for the competition?"

The silver-armored woman smiled bitterly, " To tell you the truth, my Dugu family is a martial arts country, and the fighting method is desperate and never loses to others, but there have been no outstanding achievements in other aspects, it turns out that there are two refining masters in the country, not long ago has sat down to one person, and the other is also very old, even if he makes every effort to cultivate disciples, there are no more than ten people who have reached the level of refiners, and there is an age limit to participate in the instrument refining competition, and the bone age must not exceed 100 years, and there are fewer people who meet this condition, and now there are only enough four people to make up for the full calculation, if there are Taoist friends to participate, we don't need to waste a place！”

"The requirement is to be a refiner to qualify, how can I obtain this qualification?"

"Our Black Mountain Empire has an appraisal agency set up by the Refiner Alliance, as long as the level of Daoists meets the requirements, they can obtain the corresponding qualifications!"

"Okay, then I have to worry about my identity and the refiner's identification!"

The two sides reached an agreement, and the silver-armored woman introduced herself, her name is Dugu Xinyue, known as the Xinyue County Lord, and she is the niece of the Black Mountain Empire and the only daughter of the King of Ruyang.

Dugu Xinyue was very careful, and gave a gag order on the spot to prevent anyone from revealing Qin Chuan's identity, and at the same time gave him the name of Ruyang Wangfu Keqing.

The garrison of Pingnan Pass learned the news and welcomed everyone into the city, and Dugu Xinyue sent a female cultivator to settle Qin Chuan in the post house, and then concentrated on his own affairs.

Soon after, the soldiers and horses in the city were mobilized, obviously there was a battle to be fought, and Qin Chuan naturally would not wander around the city at this time, so as not to be suspected of spying on the military situation.

In the next three days, Dugu Xinyue did not show up until the afternoon of the fourth day, and she did not come back until the afternoon of the fourth day.

"Congratulations to the county lord for his victory!"

"Hehe, it's just that I visited White Bone City once, and I've been snubbing Qin Daoyou in the past few days!"

"It's a big deal, the county lord doesn't need to be polite!"

"Well, tomorrow I will take Daoyou to Longjiang City, the capital of my Black Mountain Empire, here is some information about refining identification, Daoist friends will browse it first!"

After sending Dugu Xinyue away, Qin Chuan began to browse through those jade slips, and the refiner's identification was divided into three parts, the first part was theoretical questions and answers, the second part was material screening, and the third part was refining.

After reading these materials, he had a rough idea in his heart, as long as it wasn't too bad luck, the qualification certificate of the refiner would be a piece of cake for him.

The next day, Qin Chuan got on the war boat of Dugu Crescent and rushed to Longjiang City.

The county lord who replaced the silver armor was a little less heroic, and more charming of his daughter's family, and played a good role as a tour guide along the way, bringing the origin of the Black Mountain Empire and the famous scenery of the places he passed through.

After two days and one night, I came to Longjiang City.

Like many castles, the city was built on a hill and a large river became a natural moat.

After entering the city, I first went to meet Dugushou, the king of Ruyang.

Dugu Shou spoke slowly and softly, looking very kind, but his cultivation was in the late Yuan Infant period, and Qin Chuan naturally did not dare to treat the tiger as a cat.

After a brief conversation, he was arranged to live in a five-in, five-out courtyard in the back street of the palace, which is where the king's guest residence lived, and as a second-class guest secretary, he had a small two-story building of his own.

The next day, he followed Dugu Xinyue to apply for the identity card, and then went to the appraisal center set up by the Zhongzhou Refiner Alliance.

Seeing the words "Appraisal Center", Qin Chuan's heartstrings were touched again, and he immediately entered this magnificent building.

"It turned out that His Royal Highness the county lord arrived, and the old man missed the distance, forgive the sins!"

"Senior Wang is too polite, I have something to trouble you today, this is my friend Qin Chuan, I want to participate in the refiner appraisal and sign up for the Instrument Refining World Competition to be held next year!"

"Oh?" The short and fat old man looked Qin Chuan up and down a few times, and then nodded, "Yes, it is really a young handsome man, and the appraisal of Xiao Qin Daoyou will be presided over by the old man himself!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Lonely Crescent had the heart to see Qin Chuan's performance, asked for a favor, and also entered the quiet room of the assessment.

The main examiner is naturally an old man surnamed Wang, and in order to prevent cheating, there are two people supervising him.

"Now the appraisal begins, first assess the refining theory, a total of ten questions, the first question: refining a flying sword with red flame crystal copper as the main material, if you add water blue crystal, what is the proportion!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but glance at the old guy, this old man wouldn't be deliberately making things difficult, right? The two attributes of Red Flame Crystal Copper and Fire Blue Crystal are just opposite each other, and it is impossible to fuse them at all, if they are forced to be put together, they must be reconciled with suitable materials, and the proportion must not be the slightest difference, otherwise they will inevitably fail in the process of refining magic weapons, such a topic should be the assessment of refining masters, is it possible that the refiners in Zhongzhou have higher requirements than Hanhai?
