These words made Zhao Long and the others frown, and Zhu Tianhao wanted to rush forward to discuss a few words, but Zhao Long waved his hand and signaled him to leave quickly.

Zhu Tianhao unwillingly glared at the refiner in front of Zhao Long a few times and left.

The refiner in front of Zhao Long couldn't help but feel even more contempt when he saw that Zhao Long actually flinched a little.

Sure enough, it's a gallless rat, and it's embarrassing to come out to compete with such a little ability.

Hey, what do you mean by this, just as Zhao Long frowned, ready to refute the refiner in front of him.

Xiu'er, who had been silent, suddenly jumped out and pointed at the other party's nose and shouted.

Yo, I also brought two girls here, it seems that they are purely out to mix, and there is no level at all. The refiner in front of him glanced at Xiu'er. The tone is even more disdainful.

These words made Xiu'er and Xiaoxue angry enough, and Xiu'er even shouted: Bastard, do you want to fight.

Fighting, that's the work of barbarians. How could a noble alchemist like me come into a fight with someone as vulgar as you.

The refiner sneered with disdain, and at the same time glanced at Zhao Long, who had been silent.

It turns out that you will only hide behind women, which is really unfortunate.

These words also completely angered Zhao Long, he would never take the initiative to provoke others, but if others wanted to take the initiative to provoke him, he would not make others feel better.

The reason for the silence just now. It's because I'm so surprised.

What surprised him was not the ridicule of the refiner in front of him, but the attitude of Xiu'er behind him.

If he remembered correctly, since the first time he met Xiu'er, she seemed to be on the wrong path with him.

This time we met again in the imperial capital, although there was no quarrel.

But Xiu'er has always ignored herself, why did she suddenly jump out today to help herself speak

Zhao Long was a little puzzled. But if you can't figure it out, you won't think about it for the time being, and now you have to deal with the trouble in front of you.

Focusing all his attention back, Zhao Long stared at the refiner in front of him for a few moments.

Dressed in a wide refining robe, there was also a three-pattern refiner badge hanging on his chest, which was obviously a third-order refiner.

It looks like he is in his twenties, and reaching the third-order refiner can be said to be very good.

No wonder there was such a proud tone, looking down on Zhao Long.

But is Zhao Long really just a first-order refiner?

Don't look at the fact that he is wearing a first-order refiner badge now, but in fact, he has already advanced to a second-order refiner as early as two of them.

Although he has not officially tried to refine the Heavenly Rank Advanced Knife Weapon now.

However, Zhao Long felt that he should have a great success rate in refining the Heaven Rank Advanced Knife Weapon.

It's just that because he was troublesome, he never went to the Refiner's Guild to change the badge. I didn't expect to meet a third-order refiner to despise him today.

Very good, very good.

Zhao Long didn't have a look of anger on his face, and asked with a smile like a spring breeze: Brother Tai is also the badge on Brother Tai's chest who came to participate in the refining competition, it must be a third-order refiner, right?

Seeing that Zhao Long not only did not have a trace of anger, but instead smiled again and again, which made the refiner even more contemptuous in his heart: Just know that I am a third-order refiner.

This refining competition is not something that you, a small first-order refiner, can mix.

It's better to find a good spot to watch my performance now.

Fart, Xiu'er was immediately annoyed when she heard this, and immediately wanted to rush up to find the refiner to theorize.

However, Zhao Long stopped her, and at the same time shouted coldly: Don't talk nonsense.

Hearing Zhao Long's words, Xiu'er felt aggrieved and anxious.

She helped Zhao Long to speak, but Zhao Long drank indiscriminately, glared at Zhao Long hatefully, covered her cheeks and ran away.

Xiaoxue didn't expect Zhao Long to do this, glared at Zhao Long resentfully, and hurriedly chased him out.

Zhao Long looked at the second daughter who left, and said with a smile: I'm really embarrassed, there is no way to discipline.

Seeing that Zhao Long was so polite, the refiner in front of him could no longer put on an arrogant appearance, nodded generously, patted Zhao Long on the shoulder and said: "Boy, you are very promising, when this refining competition is over, mix with me, I will definitely let you become a third-order refiner as soon as possible."

Zhao Long smiled and did not speak.

On the other side, Xiaoxue saw Xiu'er crying and ran out, and hurriedly chased after her.

I saw Xiu'er sobbing quietly on a lawn, and walked up with a sigh: Xiu'er, are you okay, don't cry.

When the senior sister heard Xiaoxue's voice, Xiu'er hugged Xiaoxue and cried, as if she wanted to release all the grievances in her heart.

Senior sister, do you see him talking like that? When I helped him like this, he not only didn't praise me, but he came to blame me. Xiu'er's eyes were full of tears, and her face was full of resentment.

Xiaoxue sighed: Alas. I didn't expect him to do that.

But I think he must have a point. Think about it, is he the kind of person who allows others to climb on top of him?

After Xiaoxue's reminder, Xiu'er suddenly recalled that no one who troubled Zhao Long had a good end.

Zhao Long's behavior today was so abnormal, that refiner despised him so much, he even laughed.

Senior sister, what do you think he is thinking? Xiu'er asked, rubbing her red eyes.

I don't know, but we'll have to get back quickly. Xiaoxue looked at Xiu'er with tears on her face and sighed.

She understood that her junior sister must also like Zhao Long.

Shaking her head in annoyance, Xiaoxue quickly returned to the team with Xiu'er and found Zhao Long.

To the surprise of both of them. At this moment, Zhao Long actually called that refiner brother and brother.

Junior Brother Zhao Long, when you compete later, you can watch more of my movements, which may have a huge growth effect on your refining path.

The refiner said with a smile. Zhao Long also had a smile on his face: Don't worry, Brother Zhang, I will definitely pay attention.

The two girls were puzzled, and wanted to ask Zhao Long, but Zhao Long ignored them at all now, and concentrated on talking to the refiner named Zhang Lei.

The flow of people in front of them became less and less, and soon it was Zhao Long's turn.

To Zhao Long's surprise, this is not just the registration role, but also the place for the first round of screening.

Due to the large number of participants, it is impossible to put all the participants in one field at the same time, which not only takes up too much space, but also takes too much time.

Therefore, Qin, as the host country, decided to accept the registration at the same time, every group of 100 people. Conduct an initial screening.

Only those who pass the initial screening will be able to advance to the next round.

And this first round of screening is to test the most important and basic step as a refiner, purification.

The quality of a knife depends not only on the refining materials, refining techniques and the final experience, but also on the purification step.

To put it bluntly, the quality of the purification step is the key to being able to refine high-quality knives.

Under the arrangement of the Alchemist's Guild. Zhao Long, including Zhang Lei, were all in the same group.

They were taken to a vacant lot behind the registration office for the initial screening.

Brother Zhao Long, you have no problem, this first round of screening is a bit difficult for you. Zhang Lei asked with concern.

Zhao himself smiled: Don't worry, I will definitely have no problem.

That's fine, if you're eliminated in the first round, then you won't be able to see my excellent refining skills in the future.

You lost a chance to observe the level of my refining master up close.

Looking at Zhao Long, who was talking and laughing with Zhang Lei, Xiaoxue and Xiu'er couldn't figure out what Zhao Long meant.

Just as they were all muttering to themselves, an elder of the Alchemist Guild said loudly: "Let's purify, and we will give you a fist-sized glazed stone."

As long as it can be melted in ten seconds. to be able to move on to the next round.

Isn't ten seconds too short, as soon as these words came out, many refiners immediately began to shout.

Zhao Long paid attention, these most cheerful refiners were all first-order refiners.

Glazed stone is the most common refining material, and most of them are used to refine heaven-level knife weapons.

Fist-sized glazed stone, say it's not big, say it's small, don't melt it in ten seconds.

There is no problem for ordinary second-order refiners, and a few first-order refiners can also do it.

This is not to mention a third-order or even higher refiner.

Of course, it is not a problem for Zhao Long. Even if it's a little more advanced material. Zhao Long didn't need a second.

Soon, the workers of the Alchemist Guild delivered fist-sized pieces of glazed stones to each participating refiner.

One by one, the refiners took out their usual small furnaces for refining and lit them. Preheat.

Zhang Lei was also doing this, he suddenly raised his head and saw that Zhao Long beside him was not doing these jobs.

I couldn't help but ask strangely: Little Brother Zhao, why didn't you move, could it be that you don't even have a refining furnace, it's really pitiful.

So be it. When you're eliminated, I'll give you a refining furnace.

Zhao Long smiled indifferently: I don't need a refining furnace.

You don't need a refining furnace, so how can you refine the furnace Zhang Lei was surprised.

Everyone is ready, without me counting one, two, three, let's go. Whoever finishes refining first raises his hand.

Hearing that the elders of the Refiner Guild above had begun to prepare, Zhang Jie didn't have time to talk to Zhao Long again, and immediately made preparations.

Xiu'er and Xiaoxue next to Zhao Long were also holding glazed stones, preparing to put this fist-sized refining material into the refining furnace.

Throughout the audience. Only Zhao Long was alone. There was no preparation.

One, two, three, with the order of the elder of the refiner guild, the participating refiners immediately threw the glazed stone in their hands into the refining furnace.

However, Zhao Long stretched out his right palm, and under his gaze, a reddish-purple flame suddenly burst out of his palm.

Zhao Long smiled slightly, and threw the fist-sized piece of glass into it.

Just a very complete glazed stone. It melted in an instant under the incredulous gaze of everyone. It didn't take even a second before and after.

How is this possible? Zhang Lei, who was beside Zhao Long, after putting the glazed stone into the refining furnace, planned to see how Zhao Long purified it, and when he looked up and saw all this, his eyes were suddenly stupid.
