When the three old men appeared on the stage, there was a cheer around them, and it seemed that as Loris said, the three of them had a high prestige among the people.

Ye Huaicang said to Ye Li: "Ye Li, these three people are the leading figures in the scattered cultivation of the three counties.

Although Yuan Bugui and Wang Yuezhi have their own families, their families are still not called families, most of them are just ordinary people, but they barely have the prototype of a family.

And Jin Tianya is completely alone, the three of them are all the strength of the séance period, and they are also Xuan-level casters, they have helped many casual cultivators, so they can be regarded as a popular figure in our three-county scattered cultivation world. ”

Ye Li himself had only heard of these three people, but he didn't know their details, but now after Ye Huaicang's introduction, he had an understanding of them.

After the three of them came to the stage, they smiled and hugged their fists at the cheering crowd around them, and then walked to the seats set up on the edge of the stage and sat down.

Loris continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's take the materials and let the judges look at them before giving them to the contestants.

Each person has forty choices of Xuan-level materials, including various attributes, and the contestants can freely choose the combination, there is no limit to how many materials can be used, and the final win or loss is only determined by the judges' comprehensive evaluation of the rune treasure. ”

When Loris had finished, he waved his hand to the audience, and immediately a row of people came up to the stage with trays, passed in front of the three judges in turn, and showed them for inspection.

The inspected materials were then given to eight casters, each of whom had the same forty materials, no more, no less.

The materials were placed in front of the eight casters, some looking at them with pensive expressions on their faces, others glancing at them and not looking at them anymore.

Niu Qianjin is the kind of person who doesn't look at it anymore after a glance, for him, just by looking at it, he already has a number of rune treasures to be refined next.

The same is true of Panshan Qingsong, who took a look at the material and put on a confident look.

Luo Lishi waited for a moment before continuing: "Okay, presumably the contestants have already made a decision about the rune treasure to be refined next, so our competition will officially start now!"

As soon as his words fell, a stove rose from the floor of the platform in front of the eight contestants.

This stove is the standard stove used in the general smith shop, about half the size of a table, boxy, gray-black throughout, and covered with various rune marks.

The color of the flame is only cyan with a slight tinge of blue, but it is much more advanced than the flame of the fire box, and can melt various materials more quickly and stably.

Soon, the eight casters had already raised the fire in front of them, and then each of them put in the casting materials in front of them in turn.

Generally speaking, there are only twenty kinds of materials for Xuan-level rune treasures at most, and ordinary people probably use fifteen kinds of materials to reach the sky.

Although the more materials there are, the more the rune can accommodate runes with different attributes, but this also means that the more complex the patterns will become, and it will be much more difficult to guide the origin runes and subsequent runes.

Therefore, in order to ensure the success rate of their casting, ordinary Xuan-level casters will not use too many materials, and fifteen to eighteen materials are enough.

And when Ye Li stood under the stage and looked at Niu Qianjin, he suddenly found that the other party had thrown twenty-one materials in the fire.

Although only a small piece of the last material, Niu Qianjin, was lost, this amount did exceed the limit of Xuan-level rune treasures, and there was one more.

On the other side, Panshan Qingsong did not hesitate to throw twenty different materials into the furnace, and he wanted to directly challenge the maximum value of materials.

Ye Li knew that the other party, as the organizer, must have taken a big advantage, and he already knew in advance which the forty materials were.

Maybe I've already practiced how to complete the casting of twenty materials in three hours.

However, he is not worried about this, with the strength of Niu Qianjin, it is impossible to lose to the other party no matter what.

Ye Li's current task is to look at Niu Qianjin's casting, observe the other party's technique, although he can't observe Niu Qianjin's treatment of the instrument pattern, but he can learn some empirical things from some external performances.

The game lasted for a long time, three hours from noon to evening.

Niu Qianjin's movements were very fast, worthy of being a ground-level high-grade caster, the entire casting process was flawless, and the liquid in front of him that was made of various materials quickly changed into a round shield.

On the side of the green pine in the winding mountain, a crescent-shaped hook was cast, and it seemed that the movement was also not slow.

The other casters were also of a good standard, and no one had any accidents, even in the noisy situation of the square, they were able to ensure their normal performance.

Soon, the sun was about to go down completely, and the lights were lit up around the venue.

Loris said in a voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, the competition time is coming to an end, please prepare to extinguish the firer." ”

Panshan Qingsong's side ended the casting earlier than everyone else, and Niu Qianjin's head seemed to have completed his rune treasure at the last moment.

And in Ye Li's opinion, Niu Qianjin's expression also became a little tired from being relaxed at the beginning, but he didn't know what the reason was.

According to Niu Qianjin's strength, how could it be possible to cast a Xuan-level rune treasure with a tired look and an overconsumed look.

Ye Li thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but think of the twenty kinds of casting materials that Niu Qianjin had put into the furnace before.

"Could it be that the second senior brother used some special technique to refine the talisman treasure that would cause such a large consumption?"

Ye Li couldn't help but guess in his heart.

When he looked at Niu Qianjin again, he found that Niu Qianjin had already picked up the cooled rune treasure and was looking at it carefully, and the expression in his eyes seemed to be very satisfied.

Ye Xuanzhong's curiosity also arose with Niu Qianjin's movements, and he wanted to know how he, the second senior brother, had surpassed the limit of the Xuan-level rune treasure and used twenty-one materials to enter it.

And what kind of changes can these twenty-one casting materials bring to the rune treasures he refined?

Panshan Qingsong glanced at Niu Qianjin intentionally or unintentionally, and then there was a trace of contempt in his eyes, after all, what Niu Qianjin showed was to complete the refining of the rune treasure at the last moment, this kind of strength is not outstanding compared to others, and even weaker than several old casters who have completed the casting a little ahead of schedule.
