Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan have almost the same talent in refining, but as the apprentices of Su Lao and Wang Lao, the two are naturally influenced by their own master's style, so that the two have completely different styles when refining weapons, and they are not good at the same aspects.

Among them, Zhang Youji's personality is quite calm and mature, even if he encounters a bottleneck in his cultivation, he will not let his mentality be affected, it can be said that Zhang Youji has the stability and rigor of a monk who has been cultivating for hundreds of years.

This is also the most satisfying disciple of Su Lao, the patriarch of the Alchemist Association.

Although the process of forging the spirit weapon was a little dull, every step was steady, so that the onlookers could not see that there would be any accidents suddenly.

The other person who competed with him was also a veteran of the Alchemist Association, Zhao Yuanyuan, a disciple of Wang Lao, was much more radical than Zhang Youji, and when forging spiritual weapons, he would also fail to forge more than succeed because of his more radical personality.

But it is precisely because Zhao Yuanyuan's personality is more radical that she can often find a variety of different but easier and simpler forging ideas in the same forging, and she can often create miracles and greatly shorten the time for forging spiritual weapons.

Although she has been cultivating for hundreds of years, Zhao Yuanyuan is much younger than Zhang Youji, but she is also a fifth-grade refiner, all of which depends on her more radical but extremely creative personality and ability.

Wang Lao also took a fancy to this, so he accepted him as an apprentice.

Therefore, the competition between Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan can be said to be a close competition.

At the same time, the two masters Su Lao and Wang Lao were also watching the battle at the scene, and the two elders were staring intently at their own disciples who were forging spiritual weapons in the center of the square, and they also glanced at each other from time to time, and then quickly turned their heads to the side, but they were a little arrogant.

As time passes, bit by bit.

Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan, who were evenly matched in refining weapons, had always won and lost each other, and finally carried out the forging to the last step.

I saw that although Zhang Youji, who had a calm personality, was competing with Zhao Yuanyuan, he still chose to use the most secure way to pour his spiritual power into the spirit sword that had been formed like a trickle.

As for Zhao Yuanyuan, in order to win in this competition, she chose a more radical approach, and actually chose to infuse her spiritual power into the formed spiritual weapon talisman jade pendant at a very fast speed.

But how can the size of the talisman jade pendant be compared to the spirit sword, so the spiritual impact that the talisman jade pendant can withstand is much smaller than that of the spirit sword.

So when Zhao Yuanyuan used such a violent means to infuse her own spiritual power into the talisman jade pendant, although the smaller talisman jade pendant was similar to the spirit sword in terms of forging difficulty, its body was not so strong, and cracks began to appear after a while.

It's just that at this time, Zhao Yuanyuan was completely unable to notice the shallow cracks on the talisman jade pendant because of her character, but instead accelerated the speed of infusion of spiritual power, wanting to directly complete the suppression of Zhang Youji in the last step and win this competition.

Therefore.

After another period of time.

As Zhao Yuanyuan heard a crisp cracking sound from her hand, the elders of the Refiner Association who were standing on the side immediately opened their mouths to announce that her forging this time ended in failure, and the winner of this competition became Zhang Youji, who fought steadily all the way and did not have the slightest anxiety at the last critical moment.

As for Zhao Yuanyuan, she had already thrown the fragments of the talisman jade pendant on the ground because she couldn't bear the spiritual infusion, and then walked directly back to her master's side, and made a grimace at Zhang Youji, who also returned to her master's side, but gave herself a comforting look.

As the patriarch of the Refiner Association and Zhao Yuanyuan's master, Wang Lao had long been accustomed to his disciple who was not only easily excited but also arrogant, so he immediately waved his hand at Zhang Youji, and then left the square with Zhao Yuanyuan.

Zhang Youji also left the square with his master Su Lao.

Such a competition also came to an end, and everyone saw the results of the competition, and they began to talk.

They were all discussing Zhao Yuanyuan's quick success, thinking that as long as Zhao Yuanyuan could honestly infuse spiritual power into Zhang Youji, she could tie with Zhang Youji in this competition.

They can't be blamed for thinking like this.

Because the winner of this competition was Zhang Youji, and Zhao Yuanyuan really failed because she was too rash.

Of course, all this was also seen by Cao Chuan and others sitting in the private room.

At this time, Wen Jinghao, who had never spoken and didn't know much about refining weapons, asked Cao Chuan: "Xiao Chuan, if you were forging that five-grade talisman jade pendant, would you choose to use that Zhang Youji's method or that Zhao Yuanyuan's?" ”

"In my own way, of course."

Cao Chuan smiled and said: "That man named Zhang Youji is good at forging all kinds of spiritual weapons step by step, this calm personality can indeed make him grow into a refining master like his master in slow progress, but it takes a lot of time, if it weren't for a person with his character, he really wouldn't be able to persevere." ”

"As for that Zhao Yuanyuan, her talent in refining weapons is actually better than Zhang Youji, but due to her own personality that is more prone to excitation and mistakes, she has always stayed at the level of a fifth-grade refiner, and I am not so easy to excite people who make mistakes, so I naturally won't use her method to forge spiritual weapons."

"My method of forging spiritual weapons is only steady and a little radical. It's a combination of the two. ”

"And my advantage is that my physical body and the strength of my soul are stronger than theirs, so I have more control over the forging, and I can see more possibilities in the forging."

What Cao Chuan didn't say was that in the various ancient records about refining weapons handed over to him by the founder of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, those refining techniques and experiences were different from those in the books handed to him by Zhan Tianming before.

It can be said that the refining experience and techniques he got from the founder of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique have far surpassed those given to him by Zhan Tianming.

At this time, it was said that Cao Cao Cao had arrived.

The voice of the founder of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique immediately sounded in Cao Chuan's sea of stones, and said, "Little guy, now you should know how good I am to you, old man, right?" You must know that in this dimensional space, even the best Nine Rank Refiners would never be able to forge an immortal weapon, let alone a holy weapon like the Holy Spirit Sword. ”

"It's just some experience and techniques for forging eight-grade and nine-grade spiritual weapons, how can they be compared to those ancient skills I gave you, old man?"

"So you have to study those ancient books I gave you, maybe one day you can forge a Holy Spirit Sword······

After speaking, no matter how Cao Chuan called, he couldn't wait for the old man's answer.

Cao Chuan, who was already accustomed to the old man's character, no longer tried to call, but took out the books that Zhan Tianming gave him and read them carefully.

It's not that he doesn't want to learn better, but because he's still in the spirit realm, not to mention that he can only forge a third-grade spirit weapon.

It's not okay to be ambitious, or to pull out the seedlings to help them grow.

He still decided to go step by step, and wait until he had fully mastered the forging of spiritual weapons in the spirit world, and then delve into the refining methods that the founder of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique gave him that could forge immortal weapons or even holy weapons.

Wen Jinghao hugged Qingyun, who came here with him, accompanied him and devoted himself to cultivation.

That's it.

The two of them and a fox really practiced in the private room for three days.

Three days.

Cao Chuan read all the books that Zhan Tianming gave him with his own full thousand Dao divine sense clones, and he already remembered them very clearly, so clear that it was not a problem to memorize them backwards.

However, he had already read all the things in these books on the first day, so he spent the next two days in the small tower of the Lintian Pavilion to compete with the founder of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

The old man suppressed the cultivation realm to the sevenfold consummation of the Dao Cutting Realm and competed with Cao Chuan, but he still defeated Cao Chuan countless times very easily in these two days.

But Cao Chuan has not grown up through countless failures.

It's just that his opponent not only far surpasses him in the cultivation realm, but also crushes him in actual combat experience.

In the countless competitions with the old man, Cao Chuan had a hunch that even if the other party suppressed the cultivation realm to the same as his own, he would also be defeated countless times.

This is the difference between the actual combat experience of the two and the ability to adapt to various moves.

And this gap is not something that can be made up by reading books and studying, but it takes a lot of battles to gradually understand and comprehend.

That's why Cao Chuan used cultivation to compete with the other party in the small tower of Lintian Pavilion for three consecutive days.

Wait until the third day.

Although it ended in defeat, Cao Chuan was able to persist from an instant defeat to less than a hundred moves without showing his decline, and even suppressed the opponent in the early stage.

This kind of progress is very great both in Cao Chuan's own eyes and in the eyes of the founder of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

The founder of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique said in a very relieved tone: "I think my old man has lived for so long, and the young people I have seen can be said to be thousands, but no young man can keep up with the old man and me in just three days like you." ”

"Your comprehension speed of cultivation can be said to be beyond the reach of the dust, it seems that the Lintian Pavilion Small Tower can choose you, it does have its reason."

"If I can give you a little more time, I'm afraid that I won't be your opponent if I suppress the cultivation realm to the sevenfold consummation of the Dao Cutting Realm."

"The old-timers praised it falsely."

At this time, Cao Chuan no longer quarreled with the old man, but directly admitted his defeat, and then muttered to himself: "It seems that it is still the reason why my life has become safe and stable after coming to the spirit realm, I was still in the lower realm at that time, but I often fought with demon beasts of higher realms, and I also remember that in that case, my cultivation was indeed faster than usual." ”

"But ······"

"Hahahaha, you kid don't have to be in such a hurry."

As soon as he heard Cao Chuan's self-talk, the old man, who knew what Cao Chuan was thinking, immediately interrupted his thoughts, and then opened his mouth to comfort: "Your physique is already so special, you can slowly improve your cultivation realm without being like other people, so you have so much free time to do other things, what's wrong with this?" ”

"In my opinion, there is no need to be so anxious about the period of cultivation and actual combat, old man, because your physique is so special that your spiritual power, physical body, and divine soul strength are far superior to those of monks of the same realm, so you might as well divide your time a little to other places."

"What's more, what's so bad about being an alchemist or refiner, at least when you need to use spiritual weapons or elixirs in the future, you don't have to go so bothering to ask others, right?"

"After all, no matter what dimensional space you are in, human affection is the most difficult thing to cherish after all, isn't it?"

After saying this, the founder of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique unexpectedly showed a sad look, but before Cao Chuan could say anything, he had already gone back to the small tower of Lintian Pavilion, and said that he wanted to be alone and quiet.

Cao Chuan knew that the other party would not make what he said clear, so he did not continue to ask, but chose to return to his senses.

After coming back to his senses.

I still remember that today was the day when Zhan Tianming invited him to the party, so he immediately took Wen Jinghao and Qingyun, who had also finished their cultivation, back to Qinghe Courtyard.

Since it's still early.

Thinking that Li Fengwu would definitely pull himself out at the banquet to show off, Cao Chuan decided to forge another spiritual weapon before the banquet began.

Only this time, he planned to try to refine a fourth-grade spirit weapon.

Since Li Fengwu wants to save face, then he, who is a disciple, will let him, a cheap master, have a good face.

One does not do two endlessly.

Cao Chuan immediately took out the appropriate amount of materials from the storage bag, and after injecting the fire spiritual power into the spirit stone furnace fire, he began his own forging.

Thanks to the cultivation in the past three days.

After familiarizing himself with the books handed over to him by Zhan Tianming, coupled with the study of the ancient books given by the founder of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, Cao Chuan's refining techniques were already theoretically in the category of a nine-rank refiner.

In addition, his physical body, spiritual power, and divine soul power were almost the same as those of the monks of the Supreme Realm Triple Heaven.

So when he started forging the four-grade spirit weapon, Cao Chuan didn't encounter any trouble because of the first forging.

On the contrary, it can be said that the forging process this time was extremely smooth, and even when it came to the most critical step of instilling spiritual power, there were no accidents.

Therefore, a spirit sword that reached the fourth grade and at the same time still reached perfection in quality was forged by Cao Chuan.

"That's pretty much it."

"When the banquet starts, you can take a good look at my cheap master's face..."
