After Zhang Yifan returned to his residence, he couldn't wait to take out his "Nine Yin Thunder True Formula" and "Nine Yang Thunder True Trick" and carefully examine them.

When the two exercises were put together, a change suddenly occurred, and the two exercises with special materials began to merge, and the speed was so fast that Zhang Yifan didn't even have time to stop it, and a brand new exercise appeared in front of Zhang Yifan.

The name of the exercise became "Nine Yang and Nine Yin Yu Lei Zhen Jue", Zhang Yifan opened it and found that the exercises had not changed, but there was only one layer. This mutation was also unexpected by Zhang Yifan, but his current cultivation has not reached the foundation building period, so he can't practice this exercise.

It's useless to be anxious, Zhang Yifan has to wait until he can cultivate in the future. But he couldn't help but think a little more about this exercise. There was no such strange change in ordinary exercises, and it was the first time he had seen that the exercises could be fused.

Three days passed quickly, and Zhang Yifan followed Xu Ziwu to the Lihuo Sect.

The sect of the Fire Sect is located in the Flame Spirit Mountain in the Western Desert of Chu State, which is a natural fire refining place, and it is said that it was formed by an immortal furnace thrown into the West Desert a long time ago, so the aura is rich, especially the fire aura is extremely rich. Therefore, this sect of fire attribute spells is the best of the six factions.

The Flame Mountain Range with the Flame Spirit Mountain as the main peak stretches for thousands of miles, bordering the Weiguo in the west and Lanzhou in the south, the Lingshan Mountain Range is rich in resources, there are countless spiritual mines, spiritual materials and elixirs, and there are many demon beasts, which is a natural immortal treasure land. Therefore, in terms of wealth, the Lihuo Sect, which occupies vast places such as the Western Desert, Lanzhou and some Huzhou, is not far behind the Zhenji Sect, the largest sect in the Chu State, and it is far behind the other sects.

In addition, there is the only heavenly volcano in the entire Chu country from the Fire Sect, which is hotter and more powerful than the earth fire, and it is a holy place for refining weapons. The refining level of the Fire Sect is well-deserved to be the first in the Chu State, and it is even famous in several surrounding countries, and it also has part of the credit of the Heavenly Volcano.

The refining conference prepared by the Lihuo Sect this time was even more grand than the previous one, and even invited refiners from the two countries adjacent to the Chu State and the Southern Kingdom to participate.

All the monks knew about this, knowing that this was for the unborn refining genius.

When Xu Ziwu and Zhang Yifan appeared at the Yingxiantai of the Lihuo Sect, a monk who was obese and had a red face that looked like he was drunk greeted them.

This person Zhang Yifan knew, it was the same name as Xu Ziwu, who opened a five-way refining shop on Jiangyue Island.

"Welcome Brother Meridian to my departure from the Fire Sect, I have worked hard all the way. This is your only closed disciple Zhang Yifan, it's really amazing, I heard that he has the level of an intermediate heavenly refiner at a young age. Haha, the hero is a boy. ”

Zhang Yifan was a little inexplicable, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this Wei Wufang gourd, he doesn't seem to be so good.

"Brother Wufang has a heart, you and I don't have to be like this, everyone knows that your sect has produced a refining genius, and he is determined to be the leader. Fan'er, this is your Uncle Wei, the master of the Fire Sect Refining. Xu Ziwu first said politely, and then asked Zhang Yifan to salute.

Only then did Zhang Yifan know that this Wei Wufang was waiting for him here, praising him to the sky, and then highlighting the genius of his own sect. However, Zhang Yifan, who knows the truth, doesn't care, the ranking is just a floating cloud, and the important thing is that he has improved.

"The junior Zhang Yifan has seen Uncle Wei. Zhang Yifan stepped forward and saluted.

"It's easy to say, please two inside. Wei Wufang smiled a little smugly.

Wei Wufang, who was full of smiles, narrowed his whole eyes into a slit, if he removed his hair and beard, the whole Buddha of the happy Buddha of the Buddhist family, Zhang Yifan secretly scarlet and said.

After Xu Ziwu left Zhang Yifan at the venue, he went to entertain other refiner friends, which made Zhang Yifan roll his eyes for a while, and his master seemed to have overdone himself.

There are still two days left before the competition, and Zhang Yifan, who has nothing to do, aimlessly enjoys the beautiful scenery on the spiritual mountain of the Lihuo Sect.

Maybe because of the full fire aura, everything from the Fire Sect looks like it's red and hot. The fiery red attic, the fiery red mountains, and even the clouds in the sky are fiery red, connected in one piece, and it is very beautiful.

"Nine days of fire and clouds love the burning mountain, forget the way back and don't be an immortal. Zhang Yifan couldn't help but be poetic, and made a poem casually and couldn't help but read it out.

"Haha, your poem is sour. A crisp voice sounded beside Zhang Yifan, which was smart and crisp, very good.

Zhang Yifan turned around and found a girl standing next to him in the costume of the Fire Leaving Sect. This female goose has a ruddy face, big and pure eyes, two black eyes like two obsidian, black and bright, a ponytail looks sassy and capable, and she is looking at Zhang Yifan with a smile at this time.

What a beautiful and capable girl! Zhang Yifan secretly praised.

Then he swept this female cultivator with his divine sense, and found that she had already completed her cultivation in the Qi refining period, and he was in praise again.

"Clumsy is disturbing Taoist friends to listen, don't blame, it's also a whim in the next, and I can't help but see this beautiful scenery. Zhang Yifan's face flushed, and he said with some embarrassment, and he also regretted that he didn't learn to write poetry well when he was a child, which made a fool of himself.

"Haha, I just said it casually, I don't have to hide it, don't blame it. However, the scenery of this Flame Spirit Mountain is really beautiful, and I never get tired of seeing it. When you feel bored, you come here to enjoy the scenery. My name is Jin Chan, what about you?" Jin Chan thought the person in front of her was quite interesting.

"Zhang Yifan in the Burning Sky Valley has seen Jin Chan Daoyou. ”

"Well, let's say, you're here to participate in the Sect's refining competition, right? I don't know which level you're participating in?" Jin Chan asked curiously.

"Well, I'm participating in the Intermediate Refining Competition. ”

"Wow, you're pretty good. Who is your master?"

"The lower master is the meridian master. Did Jin Daoyou also participate in the refining competition?"

"Wow, it turns out that you are a senior disciple of the Meridian Master, I worship the Meridian Master, and I feel more powerful than my master. I didn't want to participate in the refining competition, but he insisted on me to participate. Jin Chan pursed her mouth, as if she was a little reluctant.

"Haha, it's good to participate in the refining competition, you can learn a lot of experience and meet a lot of fellow refiners. In particular, the refining competition conference of the Lihuo Sect can be regarded as the largest refining master conference in the Chu State. Zhang Yifan listed several benefits in one breath, which is also his personal experience.

"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, see you at the refining conference, maybe we can have a fight, hehe. Jin Chan chatted with Zhang Yifan and left.

This eccentric girl is really interesting, it seems that her mood will become more cheerful when she talks to her, Zhang Yifan sighed a little.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will be a little tired when it looks at it for a long time, so Zhang Yifan returned to his residence and began to make some preparations for the refining competition two days later.

This refining tournament Burning Sky Valley attached great importance to it, not only did it send him to participate, but also an intermediate refiner also came.

That person Zhang Yifan has dealt with him a few times, and the other party has a gentle temperament, and the communication is like a spring breeze. And the other party's refining techniques and experience are very good, more than ten years earlier than Zhang Yifan, he has participated in the intermediate refining competition several times, and he is very experienced. Zhang Yifan is going to ask him for some information and precautions for the competition, so that he can make some preparations in advance.

After some inquiries from several Burning Sky Valley fellow sects who had always left the Fire Sect, Zhang Yifan came to the residence of the fellow refiner of the sect, and then sent a request message to visit.

"Senior Brother Miao can I come to see him in the house? ”

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhang, come in. A deep voice rang out in the room.

When Zhang Yifan entered the house, he found that the other party was busy, and the desk was full of straw paper, and he was deducing the refining method of a certain magic weapon.

This person has a round face and thick eyebrows, and is relatively short, about five feet, but he feels kind and kind, and he is one of the stewards of the Burning Sky Valley Sinking Boat Workshop, an intermediate refiner, Miao Ren, and an eleventh layer realm in the Qi refining period.

Speaking of this Senior Brother Miao, he can be regarded as a refining idiot, and he can't extricate himself from indulging in the way of refining, so he delayed his cultivation, and he only reached the eleventh level of the Qi refining period in his thirties. Otherwise, with his qualifications of the Golden Fire Twin Spirit Root, even if he can't build a foundation now, he should have cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period.

But the other party's attitude and concentration on refining made Zhang Yifan admire, and he was very experienced and mastered various refining skills, so Zhang Yifan often asked him for some refining questions, and the two became a little familiar with each other, which was equivalent to the existence of half teacher and half friend for Zhang Yifan.

"Senior Brother Miao is really diligent, never forgets the way of refining, and is really a model for my generation. Zhang Yifan praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Senior Brother Zhang came to make fun of me again, Miao is not as talented as Senior Brother, and he has to be taught by Master Meridian himself, so he can only rely on some stupid kung fu. By the way, what is the reason why my junior brother is looking for me?"

"Haha, Senior Brother Miao is really as humble as ever. I came to see my senior brother this time, and I really want to ask for advice. ”

"Senior brother, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

"I don't know what senior brother knows about this intermediate competition from the Fire Sect, junior brother, I haven't participated in it once, I feel quite uncertain, and I'm embarrassed to invite my master, I heard that my senior brother has participated in a few times, so I came to ask for advice. Zhang Yifan said sincerely.

"That's what you said. Miao has participated in it a few times, but his previous rankings were not ideal, but he has some experience, so let's talk to my junior brother about one or two. ”

"Then thank you, brother. Zhang Yifan thanked with a smile.

"The Intermediate Refining Weapon Competition of the Fire Sect is similar in form to the Primary Refining Weapon Competition you participated in before, and it is also divided into a preliminary test and a second test. However, the content and form of the competition are much richer. There is an age limit for the intermediate refining competition, which requires no more than fifty years old, so the participants are basically relatively young intermediate refiners. There are no restrictions on cultivation, in previous years, there were also monks in the foundation building period to participate, and there were also monks in the fifth or sixth layer of the refining period, not to mention, only look at the level of refining. ”

"These refiners are often the elite of the sect's refining weapons or the scattered cultivators with a certain reputation, and they can basically refine medium-grade magic weapons, or even high-grade magic weapons, so most of them have very good refining skills. The initial test of the Fire Sect is generally a test of the accuracy of refining spiritual materials, the degree of control over the fire of refining weapons, and the analysis of the characteristics of unknown spiritual materials, etc., which are different from year to year. In general, it is a comprehensive ability test for a refiner. Miao Ren said slowly.

"It turns out that there are so many contents in the intermediate competition, and when I first participated in the primary competition, it was spiritual material identification. What about the retest, Senior Brother Miao?" Zhang Yifan was a little stunned, and then asked.

"As for the re-examination, it's simple, according to the list of spiritual materials provided on the spot, refine a magic weapon, and after the evaluation of the refining master, the corresponding ranking will be selected. However, the list of spiritual materials is different every year, so what magic weapon to refine needs to be decided by the refiner on the spot, and the success rate must be guaranteed. “

"In this way, I don't know if Senior Brother Miao has any news about this intermediate refining competition? My master didn't reveal a word, just told me to prepare with peace of mind. Zhang Yifan smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, Master Meridian has its own reason for arranging it this way, I think I am afraid that my junior brother will be distracted. Miao knows something, so let's talk to my junior brother, and I don't worry about it. As far as I know, there are more than 100 people participating in the intermediate refining competition this time, which is two or three layers more than in previous years, because this time there are refiners from some sects in Weiguo and Nanguo participating. ”

"It's more competitive, and it's very difficult to get a good result. But it is said that the rewards this time are also very amazing, the top three will be rewarded with a Requiem Pill, a number of refining materials, some of which are even needed to refine magic weapons, which are very precious. That's why so many people attended this time. ”

"Senior Brother Miao, is the Requiem Pill a pill? Why haven't I heard of it? Zhang Yifan was a little curious about what this requiem pill was, he hadn't heard of it before.

"Hehe, it seems that the junior brother still needs to read more classics, although this Dan is unpopular, but it is indeed the best for those who refine the alchemy and make talismans, all because of the effect of this Dan. Requiem Pill, as the name suggests, is to appease the soul of the immortal cultivator, make the soul of the immortal cultivator more compact, and at the same time strengthen the computing power, which helps to refine the alchemy talisman and so on, and at the same time also has a certain effect on the prevention of heart demons. The effect of this pill is not trivial, it is a rare and excellent elixir, and it is generally unavoidable, which has aroused the eyes of countless refiners, alchemists and talisman makers, even if it is a monk in the foundation building period. It's a pity that this pill can only be eaten one to be effective, and it is useless to eat more. When Miao Ren talked about the efficacy of the Requiem Pill, he also had a fiery expression of yearning.

"Well, it seems that this Requiem Pill is really a good thing, but it's a pity that the conditions obtained are too harsh. Zhang Yifan was also moved, but when he thought of the conditions for obtaining this pill, he was also discouraged and did not have the slightest certainty.

"Yes, junior brother works hard, I think you have hope. “

"With the help of my brother's words, I will do my best. After bothering my brother for a long time, I took my leave. “

Then Zhang Yifan left Miao Ren's residence and began to prepare some recuperation, waiting for the arrival of the intermediate refining competition.
