One day was enough, and after leaving the Imperial Academy, Zhao Long and Qian Yu separated. It's just that Zhao Long noticed that when Qian Yu left, he seemed to be a little speechless.

However, it was not until later that Qian Yu did not say anything and left directly. This made Zhao Long very suspicious in his heart, could it be his own delusion?

Soon, Zhao Long was surrounded by the congratulations of Xue Qikun and others. Looking at the smiling faces of this group of partners, Zhao Long was also very happy in his heart.

I didn't expect that I was just a novice refiner, but I reached the finals of the refining competition.

"Whether he wins the championship or not, it's enough to make him proud."

Since the finals will be three days later, this means that Zhao Long and they still have three days to prepare.

In the first two days, Zhao Long often flipped through the experience recorded in the refining instrument duel, or practiced the method of refining the heart from time to time. In short, it's a lot of fun.

However, Zhao Long's good days are very over.

On the morning of the third day, Zhao Long received a shocking news from the Refiner Guild.

That is, the refining materials used in the post-finals will no longer be provided by the Alchemist Guild, but by the contestants themselves.

This news greatly stimulated Zhao Long, you must know that in the refining process, materials are fundamental things.

If the materials are very low-level, even if Zhao Long's refining level is high, he will definitely not be able to refine it into a high-grade knife weapon.

Previously, the Alchemist Guild provided the materials uniformly, which meant that everyone was on the same starting line.

But now that it has suddenly changed like this, and the contestants are asked to provide their own refining materials, then there is too much variability.

The test will no longer be the refining level of the contestants, and the refining materials are also quite important.

That I want to ask, just notify me now? Hai Zhaolong is still a little dizzy.

The elder of the Alchemist Guild, who came to deliver the news, nodded and said, "Yes, it's not just you, even the other two contestants we notified today.

Actually, we know that this morning.

You also just knew, Zhao Long was shocked, he didn't expect this secrecy measure to be so good.

However, he suddenly thought of the confident eyes of the golden bear two days ago, and his heart moved, and he immediately asked: Then who knew about this condition, did the golden net know?

Zhao Long's cannon-like questioning startled the Elder of the Refiner Guild, and he took a few steps back and replied: As the overseer sent by the Refiner General Association, and as the judge of this refining competition, I think he should know.

It was the Guild and Ah Lao who conveyed this to us, and I think the entire Alchemist Guild knew about the three of them.

Sure enough, the golden net knows.

It seems that Jin Xiong has known such a situation from Jinwang for a long time.

In just one day, Zhao Long and Qian Yu were absolutely unable to raise good refining materials.

And he Golden Bear is well prepared, and it is clear that this is where the Golden Bear comes from.

Well, I've got the news, so I'll go back first. The elder of the Alchemist Guild waved his hand and left.

Zhao Long didn't stop it, but stood quietly in place and pondered.

At this time, Xue Qikun and the others all surrounded them, and they all knew about the bet between Zhao Long and Jin Xiong.

If you really lose, not only will you have to hand over the Tianyun Knife.

It's definitely a shame to drill the crotch of a golden bear in front of so many people.

Xue Qikun, who knows Zhao Long's character well, understands that Zhao Long will never sit still.

But in just one day, it is very difficult to prepare the refining materials.

In case the refining materials prepared are not good enough, even if Zhao Long's refining level is high, it will be in vain.

Uncle Shi, what are you going to do Xue Qikun posted it and asked.

What else can be done, you must start collecting materials right away. Zhao Long was a little depressed, he didn't expect the Refiner Guild to come up with such a problem. ,

Zhu Tianhao waved his knife and shouted loudly: Dead pervert, as long as you say a word, I will immediately rush over and teach the Golden Bear guy a hard lesson, and then snatch his materials.

Zhao Long glared at Zhu Tianhao: Are you an idiot? Let's not talk about whether you have the ability to grab it, you won't be able to pass the gold net alone. Can you beat the Sword Emperor?

These words made Zhu Tianhao speechless for a moment, and his figure immediately wilted.

Ye Mulan groaned for a while and walked up and said, "Brother Zhao Long, our Ye family has stored some of the materials, and I don't know if we can use them."

Oh, what materials can I see? Zhao Long's eyes lit up, now if he can have the help of the Ye family, it would be really good.

As one of the three major families of the Qin State, the Ye family must have stored a lot of refining materials.

If someone else brought this forward, Ye Mulan would definitely knock people away with one palm. But Zhao Long's words will not be.

At this moment, their Ye family has almost completely integrated with Zhao Long, Xue Qikun and others.

It can be said that it is both a glory and a loss.

If Zhao Long can win the championship of the refining competition, let's not talk about the benefits of this favor. Zhao Long alone can bring huge benefits to their Ye family, how could Ye Mulan refuse.

Of course, please come with me. Ye Mulan smiled slightly, and immediately took the lead and walked out.

Zhao Long and the others immediately followed, and after passing through several corridors, they came to a huge warehouse.

Ye Mulan put her hands on the door, and suddenly there was a bright light from the door, only to hear a soft sound, Ye Mulan pushed the door open.

Ye Mulan made a gesture of please, and walked in first.

Zhao Long and the others immediately followed, the warehouse was very large, and there were a lot of things in it, and there were miscellaneous piles of old high.

It seems that this is the Ye family's treasure house.

Ye Mulan was able to open this place to Zhao Long to enter, which was enough to show his trust in Zhao Long.

This made Zhao Long's heart quite moved.

After passing through several piles of high mountains, Zhao Long and the others finally came to the refining materials. I have to say that the Ye family's collection is still quite rich. These refining materials alone are lined up in several piles.

Brother Zhao Long, take a look, if you need anything, just take it, don't be polite. Ye Mulan smiled boldly.

Zhao Long nodded apologetically, now that he was at a critical juncture, he didn't care about being polite to Ye Mulan, and immediately began to look for the refining materials he needed in this pile of refining materials.

It's just that what makes him quite disappointed is that although the Ye family's refining materials are a lot, there are very few really good things.

Zhao Long didn't know if the Ye family would store these good things separately, or if there were originally few good refining materials.

In the end, he only selected three refining materials, which were Tianjing, Brilliance Stone, and the red marble that he had seen in the underground secret room of the Zhu family.

These three pieces of materials are all capable of refining emperor-level sword weapons, but the amount is too small. The large red marble is only the size of a fist.

Seeing the three pieces of materials selected by Zhao Long, Ye Mulan smiled embarrassedly: I'm really sorry, the level of the refiner cultivated by our Ye family is not high, so this refining material is...

Needless to say, I'm happy that you're able to open your warehouse for me to choose from.

Zhao Long interrupted Ye Mulan's words and smiled.

Xue Qikun frowned slightly: "Uncle Shi, although I have collected three pieces of materials, this is really too little, I am afraid that even one refining is not enough."

By the way, Uncle Tai, Uncle Shi, I remember that our Ouyang family has also collected several kinds of such ores. It's about the same size as these ones, and there are several pieces.

Ouyang Xiu, who had been silent, suddenly shouted, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Zhao Long was naturally no exception, he asked with wide eyes: Ouyang Xiu, is this true?

Yes, my son once showed me these ores.

But you always knew I wasn't a refiner, and you threw the ore into the warehouse.

If I hadn't reminded me today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered it. Ouyang Xiu scratched his head and smiled.

Zhao Long was overjoyed: In that case, then hurry back and get it.

Xue Qikun frowned slightly: Uncle Shi, Ouyang Xiu's house is not close to the imperial capital.

It doesn't matter, the Ouyang family seems to be far away from the imperial capital, but if it flies in a straight line in the air, the distance is not too far. At my current level, a round trip is only half a day.

It's good, just half a day, then we can make it all in time.

Just when everyone was rejoicing, Zhu Tianhao suddenly said: Dead pervert, according to what you say, then I can also go home.

I know that our Zhu family also has a lot of refining materials, maybe we can use them for you.

That's good, it's just that you can't fly yet, and if you walk, then it's too long. It's too late for a day. Zhao Long shook his head and said.

Xue Qikun smiled: It doesn't matter, I can fly away with him on my back, with my current strength, maybe I will come back before Ouyang Xiu.

That would be great. I can also go to Zhuge Qingtian and ask, if it really doesn't work, I can borrow it, I believe he shouldn't refuse me.

Zhao Long became more and more excited, the problem of refining materials that had plagued him for a long time had been solved now, and he no longer had to worry about running out of materials.

Since that's the case, then let's go without further ado, Xue Qikun said with a smile.

Zhao Long nodded: Then I wish you all a smooth journey.

Xue Qikun, Ouyang Xiu and Zhu Tianhao smiled, and flew in two directions. Soon, their figures had completely disappeared.

Looking at the traces left in the air by their flight, Ye Feng slowly walked to Zhao Long's side: Brother Zhao Long, this time you have the support of so many of us behind you, you must not lose.

Zhao Long clenched his fists confidently: Of course, now I am not fighting alone, but a group of you are fighting with me, and I will definitely not lose.

Saying that, Zhao Long looked up at the sky, Jin Xiong, don't you think that I can't prepare enough refining materials in one day?

You'd be miscalculated, one day is enough for me.
