Chapter 19: The Great Comparison of Apprentices (Part II)
"Good, good!" the elders who had been paying attention to their four most prominent disciples applauded one after another. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially Zhou Xinxin is even more proud, because of the good seedlings he likes, the girl has successfully drawn all the rune paper into runes, and is currently ranked first.
Although the results of each apprentice are only compared with their peers in their own area, as long as they can rank in the top 100 of their own Spirit Rune Hall, they can be selected into the outer gate and become the official disciple of the Shamrock Gate, but it is different on the side of the elders, they will set up a list in private, covering all apprentices, if they can enter the top ten of this list, they will get their additional rewards, which is also tacitly approved by the top of the sect. Although they won't get anything substantial, as long as the more apprentices in their area squeeze into this list, they will eventually have more face in front of the elders, and this kind of spiritual enjoyment is more valued by people of their level.
"Wouldn't it be too boring for us to just look at it like this? Or let's make a bet, and we'll be idle anyway, hehe. Zhou Xinxin suddenly proposed.
"How do you want to play?" A horse-faced elder surnamed Chang of the inner gate immediately became energetic, and his eyes lit up and asked, obviously he usually had this hobby.
Zhou Xinxin saw someone responding, rubbed his hands excitedly, and said with a smile: "Hehe, just bet on who will win the first place in this year, choose a good object to bet on, buy and leave, and the winner takes all!"
"Then what if everyone chooses the same person?" Another elder surnamed Shi from the inner gate raised his eyebrows and suddenly asked.
"How is it possible? I choose the seedling I am optimistic about, Situ Shaomei, bet on an eight-grade rune Thousand Flames Burning City Talisman, you can choose!" Zhou Xinxin rolled his eyes, and directly chose the girl from the Southern Spirit Rune Palace.
"You guy, aren't you forcing us to bet on the eight-grade rune?" An elder surnamed Mu from the Northern Spirit Rune Hall pointed at Zhou Xinxin.
"Of course, if you bet on the seven-grade rune, even if you win with me, you can only get something of the same value as the seven-grade rune, hehe. Zhou Xinxin said with a wicked smile.
"Hmph, who said that I was going to choose the same person as you, of course I chose our own apprentice of the Northern Spirit Rune Palace, it was him, Han Feng, an eight-grade rune hundred miles ice sealing talisman!" The elder of the Northern Spirit Rune Hall snorted coldly and immediately retorted.
"Okay, buy and leave, who else!" Zhou Xinxin glanced at them and shouted.
"Western, Mo Li, seven-grade rune water dragon chanting!" An elder from the Western Spirit Rune Hall also participated.
"Eastern, Zhu Dannuo, a seven-grade talisman for a hundred miles of earth escape!" an elder of the Eastern Spirit Rune Hall smiled and entered.
However, the spirit rune halls of the east and west were very cautious, and only bet on a seven-grade rune.
"Elder Chang, why don't you come here?" Zhou Xinxin looked at the horse-faced elder at the inner door with a smile.
"Haha, how could I be absent!" the elder of the inner gate immediately said, "I also choose Situ Shaomei from the south, an eight-grade talisman and a talisman!"
"Wise, Elder Chang, but you and I won together, how should this be calculated, Elder Beimu's Hundred Miles Ice Seal Talisman is not an ordinary product, it is definitely worthy of five or six seven-grade runes. Zhou Xinxin looked at Elder Chang at the inner gate and said with a worried face, as if he had already won the battle.
"Go, go, you think you're going to win?!" Elder Mu from the north said breathlessly.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell you in advance, Situ Shaomei's first furnace just didn't adapt to the environment here, and she will bring you a bigger surprise when she waits for the second furnace!" Zhou Xinxin rubbed his hands and got carried away.
"Hmph, it's just the beginning, it's still too early to tell!" Elder Mu from the north snorted.
"Then wait and see, hehe!" Zhou Xinxin said excitedly.
After a night of nothing, after Han Feng rested for a night, he was full of energy, got up early in the morning and played a set of condensing qi baguazhang, and after eating the breakfast that was teleported in out of thin air, he began to continue to boil the rune paper and rune ink of the second furnace.
With the experience of the previous furnace, his understanding of the environment and various spiritual materials here has been greatly deepened, so he is more skilled and easy to operate the second furnace, and the final result is also very satisfactory to him, the same is the production rate of ten percent, the difference is that the proportion of silver rune paper has reached sixty percent.
His confidence was greatly increased, and after recovering his soul power, he struck while the iron was hot and converted all the rune paper into fireball runes, which was 100% successful.
The operation of his second furnace was all recorded by the formation, and it was presented to all the elders through the mirror formed by the spiritual power suspended in the air.
In addition to him, the images of more than a dozen other apprentices were also presented in front of the elders.
"Haha, although Han Feng has increased the production rate of silver rune paper, Situ Shaomei has directly jumped to the production rate of silver rune paper, and the rest of the people are also maintained below the production rate of silver rune paper in fifty percent, I think you still admit defeat in advance!" Zhou Xinxin laughed.
"It's only the second furnace, what's the hurry!" Elder Mu from the north glared.
"Don't be in a hurry, I'll sleep first, you guys take your time!" Zhou Xinxin said triumphantly, and after speaking, he lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
"This ghost guy!" Elder Mu laughed dumbly. The rest of the elders couldn't help but smile on their faces.
Time flies, and the apprentice Dabi has come to the fifth day before he knows it.
Han Feng took a step forward on the third and fourth days, raising it to the level of seventy percent of the silver rune paper production rate, and there was no mistake when drawing the rune, it was all 100% completed.
But on the fifth day, Han Feng didn't know why, the production rate of the silver rune paper suddenly dropped back to the level of sixty percent, but fortunately, there was no mistake when drawing the rune, and the remnant rune did not appear.
But several other people are in steady improvement on this day, Mo Li in the east and Zhu Dannuo in the west have all increased to the production rate of silver rune paper sixty percent, especially Situ Shaomei has maintained the production rate of silver rune paper eighty percent for three consecutive days, and it actually broke through to ninety percent on this day, which made Zhou Xinxin, who had just woken up, very happy, and even several other elders who did not bet felt that he had won the game.
Han Feng didn't rest at the moment, he was immersed in thought. Originally, he wanted to make a breakthrough, but today he tried to adjust the operation details slightly, but he didn't expect the experiment to fail, but fortunately there was no major confusion.
"It would be nice if the earth fire could be more violent, maybe it would be able to lock the spiritual power of all the spiritual materials faster!" After a night of reflection, Han Feng found the reason, that is, the earth fire was not fierce enough.
So on the sixth day, after he finished practicing and slowly clarified his thoughts, he began to study the earth fire, and repeatedly checked through the release of soul power, and sure enough, he found that this earth fire can be controlled in size, and the strength of the earth fire that he activated with the identity jade card is only medium, and in fact, he can also adjust it to the strength he needs through soul power.
