Following.

Flying Eagle City Plaza.

The square, which was still very lively, was three people standing this time.

The three of them are no one else, it is Cao Chuan, Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan, who were already preparing for a competition today last night.

This time, what they were going to compete with was the four-grade spiritual weapon that they had determined in front of Zhan Tianming yesterday.

At the same time, Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan also want to see Cao Chuan's refining strength, after all, Cao Chuan is the apprentice grandson of Zhan Tianming, the oldest veteran of the Refiner Association, Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan are also disciples of the elders of the Refiner Association, but they will inevitably be jealous in their hearts.

Therefore, this contest is a sure win for both of them.

They also wanted to be able to enter Zhan Tianming's sight and get the favor of this highest-ranking elder.

Although there was a slight element of deliberateness in it, such a competition was allowed in the Alchemist Association, so Zhan Tianming and the other elders did not stand up to stop this competition, which was likely to cause a riot, but let the three of them let go of their hands and feet to compete.

But only Zhan Tianming and Li Fengwu, the two masters and apprentices, knew that the real reason why they agreed to this competition was that they had absolute confidence in Cao Chuan, believing that Cao Chuan could defeat Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan in this competition.

The competition began soon.

The three of them competed to see who could forge a four-grade spirit weapon with a quality that was closer to perfection faster.

There is no limit to the types of spiritual weapons, even the simplest spiritual weapons, as long as they can be forged, they are considered successful.

Among them, Zhang Youji, who has the most calm personality, still chooses to forge the spirit sword in the four-grade spirit weapon that he is best at, and because he has long been familiar with the forging of the spirit sword, he is still extremely fast even in the pursuit of calm and rigorous.

As for Zhao Yuanyuan, who is easily excited, she performed the same as when she forged a five-grade spirit weapon before, and she was still very impatient to complete this competition with the fastest speed, so she chose to forge a four-grade spirit weapon that could be forged the easiest way in this case.

The most relaxed of the three is undoubtedly Cao Chuan.

In fact, since the forging of the four-grade spiritual weapon last night, Cao Chuan's mastery of forging the four-grade spiritual weapon has reached the point of perfection.

Now it is easy to reforge again, without any pause and without any unexpected trouble, and in the frightened eyes of Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan, it took less than a stick of incense to carry out the final step of infusing spiritual power.

Meanwhile.

Zhang Youji, who follows the rules and has always chosen to stick to the rules and is unwilling to change, has just completed the forging process halfway.

Although Zhao Yuanyuan was fast, because when she saw that Cao Chuan's speed was faster than herself, her very easily excited personality made her immediately angry in her heart, and even forgot that she was still in the middle of the competition, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she smashed the spirit weapon in her hand that had not yet taken shape.

Soon after.

Cao Chuan smoothly forged a fourth-grade spirit sword with perfect quality, and it seemed to be more delicate and mysterious than the spirit sword he gave to Zhan Tianming yesterday, and the aura that flowed from it was even faintly approaching the category of a fifth-grade spirit weapon.

And from the beginning of forging to now, he has only spent more than one stick of incense, less than two sticks of incense.

Perfect quality forged in such speed and in a very short time.

These two points are enough to prove that his forging level is already very high, at least on the bright side, it seems that he has surpassed Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan, who are five-grade refiners.

But it is precisely because of this.

The two elders, Su Daniu and Wang Yuanyuan, who were sitting in the private room and observing this competition, widened their eyes and showed a look of disbelief on their faces.

Only Zhan Tianming, who recovered his vitality after taking the pill and even rejuvenated to middle age, was unmoved, showing a faint smile that was indeed the case.

Ever since he got the perfect quality four-grade spiritual weapon last night, he had already known that this cheap apprentice of his was definitely not something that Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan could touch.

In his eyes.

Cao Chuan's talent in refining weapons can be said to be extremely high, or it is higher than him, a nine-rank refiner.

More importantly, he noticed that the refining techniques used by Cao Chuan when forging the four-grade spirit weapon were not exactly the ones he had given him before, but mixed with some refining techniques that he had never seen before, but which seemed to be better and more effective than those he had learned.

But he didn't plan to ask Cao Chuan about it.

On the contrary, he was also very much looking forward to what kind of spiritual weapon Cao Chuan would be able to forge with this refining technique that was different from that of the spirit realm refiner.

Now that he knew, Cao Chuan had successfully forged perfect quality first, second, third, and fourth-grade spiritual weapons.

Therefore, he was very curious about whether Cao Chuan would be able to forge a perfect quality spirit weapon after forging a fifth-grade or even higher-grade spiritual weapon.

At the same time, the other side.

on the square.

After the competition, Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan's faces were slightly pale.

Obviously, neither of them thought that they would lose to Cao Chuan, a novice who had only learned refining for seven days.

And not only lost, but also a complete fiasco.

Whether it is from the point of view of forging speed or from the quality of the finished product forged, Cao Chuan far surpasses them.

But you must know that both of them are fifth-grade refiners, but Cao Chuan doesn't even have the identity credentials of first-grade refiners.

Such an ending is actually a great blow to Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan's self-confidence.

Because the two of them have been contributing hundreds of years to refining weapons, and at the same time, the two of them also feel that they must be geniuses in refining because they can be looked at by the elders of the refiners association, not to mention that their respective masters have also said so, and said that they will definitely become eight-rank refiners one day.

The eight-grade refiner can be said to be infinitely beautiful in the spirit world, and anyone who sees it must be honored as a master.

This is also one of the driving forces for Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan to be obsessed with refining tools in their boring lives for hundreds of years.

After all, no matter which monk he was, the purpose of his hard cultivation was nothing more than money, power, and sex.

The same is true for alchemists and refiners, both in order to pursue what they want, and thus put all their efforts into this goal.

It's just that some people choose to use improper means, and Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan spent hundreds of years of boring time to make themselves good enough refiners, five-grade refiners.

Until today.

After being defeated by a beginner, they finally came back to their senses and realized what it means to have a heaven outside the sky and a person outside of people.

After realizing that it was possible that they were just humiliating themselves by competing with Cao Chuan to forge a five-grade spiritual weapon, Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan finally chose to recognize the reality, and then bowed their heads to Cao Chuan and admitted defeat, and then left the square without saying a word and went back to their respective masters.

Cao Chuan, who continued to stay here and had nothing to do, took Wen Jinghao back to Qinghe Courtyard together.

Although as a monk, he no longer needs to eat, drink, or even sleep, but Cao Chuan, who has always retained the habits of being an ordinary person, still plans to go back to the Qinghe campus to sleep a little, and then make follow-up plans when he wakes up naturally.

And the other people in the square who saw Cao Chuan leave with Wen Jinghao were talking about the competition that ended quickly.

After all, you don't see this all the time.

It is important to know that refiners in other places are different from those who study alchemy in the Alchemist Guild.

It can be said that every refiner in the Alchemist Association is more powerful than those loose cultivators.

But even in this situation, Cao Chuan still easily defeated the disciples of the two elders of the Refiner Association.

And it's still a crushing that anyone can see.

This made them very curious about Cao Chuan's identity.

They wanted to know if Cao Chuan would also be a disciple of a certain elder of the Refiner Association, and some people had even begun to speculate that Cao Chuan might be one of the founders of the Refiner Association and the disciple of Zhan Tianming, who had the highest ranking among the elders.

As for Zhan Tianming himself, who was mentioned, he went back to his residence amid the exclamations of his own disciple Li Fengwu.

He was prophesied that he would not have much time to live, and after that, he never delved into refining or cultivating again.

Now that he is lucky enough to have a thousand-year lifespan, and his body has returned from old age to the state of his prime, the momentum in his heart has revived.

This time, he hurried back to his residence from the private room in the square, not to try to forge a nine-rank spiritual weapon, but to try to break through from the sevenfold perfection of the Supreme Realm to the half-step immortal realm.

Li Fengwu brought the news to Cao Chuan, and asked Cao Chuan to tell him when he had time in the future.

He is Zhan Tianming's disciple, and now that Zhan Tianming wants to retreat and cultivate, then he is the one with the greatest power in the Refining Master Association.

And he is Cao Chuan's master, if Cao Chuan wants to find someone, he can only find him.

Cao Chuan didn't react much to this, and immediately ran back to his room after answering the call to say that he knew, hugging Wen Jinghao and Qingyun and starting to sleep.

I slept until dawn before waking up.

And after waking up, Cao Chuan began to try to forge a five-grade spiritual weapon.

On the refining tool.

There is an extremely clear watershed between the fourth-grade refiner and the fifth-grade refiner.

Although there are many refiners who have worked hard enough, they still stop at the fourth grade because of their lack of talent and lack of better refining talent.

And those who were more talented refiners became five-grade refiners after hard work.

The best examples of this are Zhang Youji and Zhao Yuanyuan.

The two of them were selected precisely because they had good enough talent, and it was precisely because of this that they were able to achieve the rank of five-grade refiner.

In this way, you can see how important talent is to a refiner.

But in fact, whether it is a refiner, an alchemist, or an ordinary monk, talent is always the most important.

Because in this world of the jungle, there is simply no shortage of people who work hard enough.

Even if it was Cao Chuan, before he obtained the Chaos Immortal Secret to change his fate, he worked very hard, and it could even be said that his efforts could surpass all the outer disciples of the Tianhe Holy Land at the beginning.

But at that time, Su Yuanqing, the Holy Son of Tianhe Holy Land, had a better talent than him, so Su Yuanqing was stronger than him at that time, and his realm was higher.

Later, Cao Chuan obtained the Chaos Immortal Secret, and changed his physique with the Rising Sun Golden Black Flame, and his talent was far beyond the past.

Since then, Cao Chuan's strength has gone from strength to strength.

Not to mention that now he can already rely on his strength to cut the Dao Realm Triple Heaven to rival the strength of the Supreme Realm Triple Heaven and left realm cultivators.

This is the change brought about by talent.

Cao Chuan would not believe that the so-called diligence can make up for the shortcomings, after all, this is a world of the jungle, full of opportunities and risks.

Only talent can really be relied on.

If the talent is strong enough, you can turn the talent into your own strength, if you don't have the talent and just work hard yourself, then at most you can only become a relatively hard-working ordinary person.

This was a big joke for the monks.

After all, if you want to become a monk, you also need talent.

And Cao Chuan's talent in refining weapons is naturally needless to say, it is absolutely excellent.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to forge a perfect quality four-grade spirit weapon on the seventh day of his beginner refining.

This is not something that can be learned by reading a book.

Therefore, unlike the ordinary four-grade refiners, Cao Chuan can be said to have no obstacles in refining weapons, and he will not encounter any obstacles.

So at the moment of trying to forge a five-grade spiritual weapon.

Cao Chuan found that he could be said to have had a smooth ride in the forging process, and he did not encounter some accidents like other five-grade refiners.

Whether it is his own body or the spirit embryo that is placed on the fire of the spirit stone furnace, he is very cooperative.

Until he forged another perfect quality spiritual weapon, not only did this process not last too long, but there was not even a chance at all, not even the potential risk existed.

"It seems that my talent in refining weapons is indeed very good."

That's what the words say.

But Cao Chuan was not complacent.

He knew very well that the reason why he was able to achieve this level was entirely because his divine consciousness clones had a full thousand, not to mention forging a five-grade spiritual weapon, not to mention forging a fifth-grade spiritual weapon, even if it was used to forge a ninth-grade spiritual weapon, it was more than enough.

It's just that Cao Chuan has never come into contact with the immortal weapons and holy weapons that are only in the legends.

Therefore, he did not become complacent because of his divine sense clone, but planned to continue to work steadily and steadily, step by step.

As for now.

Now that the five-grade spirit weapon has been forged to reach perfect quality, the next step is the time to forge the six-grade spirit weapon.

So I immediately took out the required materials.

Ignite the spirit stone furnace fire again, and when the temperature rises, Cao Chuan immediately begins to forge the six-grade spirit weapon.

This time, the six-rank spirit weapon he was going to forge was no longer just a long sword.

He planned to forge some more six-grade spirit weapons.
