Chapter 238: Blown Up
Chu Muyue immediately led people to set it up.
Not far from the Artifact Pavilion, there is a square around the corner, with abundant genetic energy, a large number of scattered cultivators, and an open terrain, which is the best place for the competition.
After hearing that someone was going to compete in this field, the monks in that square were alarmed and actually took the initiative to vacate a large space. For many people, the life of cultivation is really boring, and now that there is such a lively scene all of a sudden, it is naturally not to be missed.
The Cai family sent people, and the Zhao family also sent people. Recently, Tiandu City refining has basically been monopolized by the two of them, and the other refining shops in the suppressed area are breathless, and now they suddenly heard that there are people who want to compare refining weapons, so they naturally dare not take it lightly, and each sent a senior refiner in the store to watch and spy on them.
What's even more surprising is that even the City Lord's Mansion has sent a team of Xuanjia guards over.
"Artifact Pavilion? Which refining shop is this, why haven't you heard of it before?" Many people were unfamiliar with the three words [Artifact Pavilion].
"I heard that it was changed from the original Musk Moon Spirit Weapon Shop. Tut, in the past year, the Musk Moon Spirit Shop has fallen rapidly, and even if it hasn't closed yet, it can only struggle in the cracks. Thinking that they were unwilling to disappear like this, they absolutely fought back. An insider speculated.
"Hmph, the most powerful refiners in the entire Tiandu City have been snare by the Zhao and Cai families, they want to turn over the salted fish, how easy is it?"
"But I heard that the master of the Artifact Pavilion, Chu Muyue, is a beauty......"
Before the competition began, the whole square was filled with buzzing discussions. Many people are looking forward to it and waiting for the competition to begin.
But they waited left and right, and no one appeared, and their hearts couldn't help but become anxious.
On a piece of high ground located at the east end of the square, a small group of people gathered at this moment, and the leader of them was wearing a purple short-sleeved crown dress, standing there, with a solemnity and majesty.
This person is Xu Baolai, the senior refiner of the Zhao family, who has served the Zhao family for decades, is loyal, and his refining skills are not vulgar.
"Didn't you say you were going to compete? Why don't you start yet?" someone next to him complained.
Xu Baolai's expression was flat, and he said in an easy-going tone: "What's the hurry, if you want to refine a good weapon, you should have enough patience." If you are impatient, how can you refine any artifact?"
Obviously, he has been immersed in the refining for decades, and he has enough patience to wait. Not to mention that it has only been two hours, even if it is two days, he can afford to wait.
"Hahaha, Xu Daoyou's words are not bad, I am a refiner, and the most important thing I lack is patience. However, the old man was very curious about where the girl surnamed Chu had invited to dare to refine the weapon in front of the public. Xu Daoyou, did you hear any wind in advance?" A hearty laugh sounded, and several people came from outside, led by an old man with a calm expression, and slowly spoke.
This person is Cai Dongyang, a senior refiner of the Cai family, different from Xu Baolai, he is a member of the Cai family, and his status is higher in the Cai family.
"Old Ghost Cai, even you haven't heard any rumors, how can the old man be more well-informed than you?" Xu Baolai rolled his eyes and said.
"Hahaha, in the entire Tiandu City, there are only a handful of refiners, and those who are somewhat famous have been warned by you and me in advance, the old man really can't think of anyone else who is willing to stand up for the girl surnamed Chu. Cai Dongyang twisted his beard and smiled.
"Who it is, the answer should be revealed soon!" Xu Baolai's gaze turned to the direction of the Artifact Pavilion on the other side of the square.
There, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Immediately afterwards, since he let out a passage, he saw Xia Fan and Qian Xiao walking in one after the other.
"Is that him?"
"How could it be him?"
"It can't be!"
Many people recognized Xia Fan's identity and let out a burst of exclamations.
Some time ago, the popularity of the selection in that Shenzang Mountain had not completely subsided, and Xia Fan had changed into a refiner again, which surprised many people.
"Xia Fan......" Xu Baolai's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of murderous intent.
At the beginning, the Zhao family killed Xia Fanbu, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by the ghostly officials, and this matter had already spread throughout the Zhao family. Xu Baolai naturally couldn't have any good feelings for Xia Fan.
"It's kind of interesting...... Cai Dongyang chuckled and said.
The contradiction between the Cai family and Xia Fan is far less deep than that of the Zhao family, so although Cai Dongyang doesn't like Xia Fan, he doesn't show it as naked as Xu Baolai.
At this moment, Xia Fan and Qian Xiao each occupied a corner of the square, and in front of the two, twelve "fetal vessels" were placed each. The fetal weapon is a weapon that has been polished, but it has not had time to engrave the symbol, and it is in a blank.
"Ladies and gentlemen, these are the two refiners of the Artifact Pavilion, and now they are going to have a refining competition, whoever can win will worship as the chief refiner of the Artifact Pavilion, and I ask you to be a witness. Okay, I won't say more nonsense, now the game begins!" As Chu Muyue's words landed, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Fan and Qian Xiao.
Without hesitation, both of them grabbed a "fetal device", opened the seal, and studied it carefully. Engraving is not something that can be carved casually, and it is necessary to depict the best rune according to the shape, size, and even the distribution of the lines of the blade, so that the true power of the blade can be brought into play.
Under the watchful eye, Qian Xiao couldn't help but be a little nervous, this was the first time he was refining in front of the crowd, and the noise from time to time in the crowd distracted him.
"Steady, steady. Qian Xiao secretly warned himself, "The old man has been refining weapons for many years, and he will never lose to him as a hairy boy." Just show my normal level and win. ”
After all, he had a lot of experience, and he quickly observed the lines of the blade, and then began to condense the magnetic force and carve it on the blade.
"Qian Xiao has started? This speed is too fast, right?" someone was surprised when they found out about Qian Xiao's state.
"You see, that Xia Fan hasn't moved yet, he is frowning, and he seems to have encountered a problem...... someone said again.
Xia Fan did frown, not because he had encountered any problems, but because he felt that the "fetal device" in his hand was too shoddy and wasted such a good material in vain. The refining materials he collected on the earth were very scarce, which made him develop the habit of not wanting to waste every inch of materials.
The "fetal device" in front of him, if he is allowed to practice it himself, the quality can definitely be two cuts higher than this.
"Forget it, let's use it!" Xia Fan shook his head, pressed down the thoughts in his heart, and began to observe the lines. He secretly glanced at Qian Qian on the other side, and found that the other party had already finished portraying one-tenth.
"This guy, he draws really fast......" Xia Fan secretly slandered.
"Hahaha, I knew that kid was a silver-like pewter spearhead, and it was impossible for him to know more about refining weapons than me. When I win, I'm going to humiliate him. ”
Seeing that Xia Fan hadn't made a move yet, Qian Xiao, who had already carved a lot of lines, suddenly secretly rejoiced, and suddenly increased the speed of portrayal, wanting to occupy a greater advantage before Xia Fan made a move.
However, when he exerted his strength, he unexpectedly exerted too much force, and the fetal weapon was suddenly dented by a rune, and then, the runes depicted in front trembled together, like chickens that had been hit by the plague.
"It's not good-" Qian Xiao shuddered in fright, and threw the tire out without saying a word.
"Boom—"
With a loud bang, the fetal device exploded in the center of the square, and the fragments flew everywhere and fell into the crowd, and the people who were splashed were in a hurry, resisting these fragments, and some of them were more short-tempered and scolded directly, greeting the women in Qian Xiao's family.
