Chapter 18: The Great Comparison of Apprentices (I)
With the wave of the elder of the inner gate, all the spars on the top of the Ten Thousand Furnace Cellar suddenly brightened, and a strange fluctuation swept through everyone present, and when the many apprentices reacted, there was already a large bag of things on the copper furnace countertop of the countertop, Han Feng opened it and saw that it was all kinds of spiritual materials for boiling rune paper.

At this time, the inner gate elder continued: "Each person has 100 spiritual materials, can open the furnace ten times, can boil a hundred rune papers, and within ten days, the one who draws the most runes will be the king!" His voice rumbled throughout the cave, spreading in all directions, and everyone could hear it clearly.
After hearing this, many of the apprentices immediately began to draw water from the nearby spring stream and pour it into the copper furnace, and then began to boil the talisman in full swing, as if they did not want to waste any time.
Han Feng was not in such a hurry, one furnace and one drawing a day, there was plenty of time, he walked to the front of the stage slowly, opened the bag of things, released the soul power, and began to check the same to determine the spiritual strength of these spiritual materials, and there were no defects, so he picked out ten materials and put them on the table temporarily. Then he picked up the barrel and turned to the stream behind him to draw water, he only beat half a bucket of water at a time to ensure that it was clean, and poured into eighteen buckets, which was equivalent to nine full buckets of water, one more bucket than before. This is because he found that the spiritual materials provided by the sect this time are all good products, and the spiritual power contained in them is more than 10% stronger, so he added an extra bucket of water so that it can match.
Next, he lit a fire, put ten spiritual materials into the furnace, and then took out the stone cup under the platform, and began to grind the spirit stone and several other flower spiritual materials. In this step, he grinded more slowly, on the one hand, there was an extra bucket of water in the furnace, and the boiling time would be a little longer, on the other hand, the quality of the spirit stone this time was also of superior color, and the hardness was higher, so he needed to grind it more carefully.
This is what he has really realized in the past two years, boiling rune paper and rune ink, and he has to adjust the operation details according to the spiritual materials and the surrounding environment.
There was a soft sound, the water in the furnace was boiling, and Han Feng's stone powder at this time had just been ground, so he immediately got up and sprinkled the stone powder into it in batches, and then covered the top cover, turned off the fire, and let all kinds of fierce reactions occur inside.
After a while, the copper furnace began to shake slightly, Han Feng knew that it was done, and hurriedly opened the top cover, and sure enough, there were ten rune papers floating on the clear water with a flash of spiritual light, and half of them were silver rune papers, which was obviously related to the improvement of the quality of spiritual materials this time.
Han Feng quickly took out all the rune paper and put it into the long wooden box that he had prepared in the morning, and then quickly re-closed the top lid of the copper furnace, and then fired it again, letting the spiritual water inside boil to a boil.
Immediately after, Han Feng took out a fist-sized alien beast blood crystal and several spiritual materials and put them into the stone cup, and began to grind them into powder again. This time, his speed increased significantly, because the spiritual power contained in the spiritual water in the furnace had become stronger, and firing it again would make it even more violent, so he needed to put in stone powder as soon as possible in order to quickly form rune ink.
Sure enough, as he expected, after only a short while, the copper furnace began to vibrate slightly, his wrist flicked, turned into an afterimage, the grinding speed was faster, when the pores of the copper furnace began to bubble up, he stood up and opened the top cover, a handful of stone powder evenly dispersed into it, and then covered the top cover, so that they fully merged and condensed inside.
A quarter of an hour later, a rainbow of gases came out of the pores of the copper furnace, and all kinds of strange smells were present, except for the lack of fragrance.
But Han Feng knew that it was done, and immediately opened the top cover, and there was a layer of rune ink with a faint red light lying quietly at the bottom of the furnace, which was even better than the rune ink he had boiled before.
After collecting these runes into the jade box, he cleaned the copper furnace and dried it with fire, and then left the operating table, sat quietly cross-legged on the edge of the spring stream, and took the Yunling Pill and the Soul Nourishing Pill, then closed his eyes and recuperated his soul power and physical strength.
Although Han Feng opened the furnace a few steps slower than others, he completed it faster than many people, and after he finished it, he heard the sound of people scolding and scolding one after another, and there was a faint smell of burning, obviously many people's first furnace failed, or the success rate was very low. Of course, there are also many cheering voices, and there are many silver flashes, and silver rune paper also appears from time to time.
At this time, in the southern region, there was a sudden exclamation. It turned out to be a tall and outstanding-looking girl, and the production rate of the first furnace was ten percent, and the silver rune paper accounted for sixty percent.
When this scene appeared, more than a dozen elders on a high platform next to the entrance of the cave immediately swept their eyes to her, and then looked at Zhou Xinxin, an elder at the inner door smiled: "This is the good seedling you found, I didn't expect to be able to produce sixty percent of the silver rune paper, and the qualifications are better than those you were back then!"
"Hehe, this is just the beginning, the show is still to come!" Zhou Xinxin smiled proudly.
"However, this little guy in the north of you is also very good, it is also ten percent produced, and the silver rune paper accounts for fifty percent. The wrinkled elder at the inner gate suddenly turned one hand at a glance, and a flash of light appeared, turning into a mirror, which replayed the whole process of Han Feng's boiling rune paper and rune ink.
"You are also hiding very deep in the north!" said the other three elders of the Outer Gate Spirit Rune Hall to the elders of the Northern Spirit Rune Hall one after another.
The three elders in the north smiled, and couldn't help but look at Han Feng on the mirror, showing a little relief.
"Don't worry, your east and west are not bad, there is also a production rate of ten percent, and the silver rune paper also accounts for forty percent, it seems that there are good seedlings in each department this year!" The wrinkled face of the elder at the inner gate called up the images of the most prominent disciples in the east and west.
"That's also the luck of our sect!" the rest of the elders echoed.
After two hours, Han Feng stood up, his soul power had returned to a full state, and he had to start drawing the talisman.
He came to the stone platform, picked up the spirit pattern entwined talisman pen, released the soul power and carefully observed, there was no problem, only to take out a copper-colored rune paper, spread it flat, and then open a box of rune ink, dipped the pen in ink, put the pen on the top of the rune paper, the pen walked the dragon snake, swimming like a stream, the spiritual light flashed, in one go.
In a moment, a copper-bottomed fireball talisman appeared on the table, and he casually put it into another empty wooden box, and then began to draw a second talisman.
Time flew by, and after more than half an hour, all ten talismans were completed, and not a single one was wasted.
Han Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he played normally and nothing went wrong, otherwise if the remnant talisman appeared and took the initiative to correct the talisman path, he would definitely be noticed by those elders, and then he would be miserable.
