After chatting with Qi Xiong about this topic for a while, he asked again, "Will Senior Brother participate in this sect competition?"

Qi Xiong paused, and said with a look of regret on his face: "Brother Wei is thirty and four this year, I'm afraid this competition will not be with me!"

Liu Yiwen said suddenly: "I really can't imagine that the difference between being only one year old and my senior brother can't participate." With the cultivation of the senior brother as the top ten should be very promising, it is really regrettable. ”

Qi Xiong shook his head and said casually: "Brother Wei has already participated in the last competition, and he was lucky enough to enter the top ten and get a Ning Yuan Pill. ”

Liu Yiwen was surprised when he heard this: "Senior brother is actually among the top ten? Can you tell me about the competition?"

He was really surprised in his heart: this senior brother is really hidden! And he has already obtained a Ning Yuan Pill, I don't know if he has taken it?

Qi Xiong was surprised and said, "Could it be that Yiwen is also going to participate in this competition?"

Liu Yiwen sneered: "Senior brother, don't make fun of me. I'm only in the middle stage now, so how can I be qualified to participate! I'm just curious about this competition. ”

Qi Xiong laughed and said, "It's not a secret. Actually, it's a competition..."

The two chatted for many hours, and it was not until it was late that Liu Yiwen got up to say goodbye. Just as he was walking towards his residence, he saw Wen Tao and Senior Sister Ye together, and he didn't know what they were talking about.

"Senior Brother Wen!" Liu Yiwen said hello from afar.

The two of them came over when they heard the voice, and Wen Tao smiled at him with a trace of exhaustion on his face.

He came to the front, greeted Senior Sister Ye, and said helplessly: "Senior brother, do you know?

Wen Tao said in a lost voice when he heard this: "What!?"

Liu Yiwen said gloomily: "At noon, I went to the master to say goodbye, and I happened to meet the senior brother. He brought a jade slip, and after reading it, the master said that he was going to go out. Alas, I hurriedly brought up the matter that the sect competition was about to begin. It may be that the matter is too urgent, and the master is about to leave in a hurry!"

Wen Tao's eyebrows tightened, his heart sank suddenly, he had great expectations for this competition. For more than a year, the master couldn't guide him, so the odds were a little smaller!

At this time, Ye Xiumei on the side persuaded in a low voice: "Senior Brother Wen, you don't have to worry too much! ”

Liu Yiwen also persuaded: "The master said that he would rush back as soon as possible, and he would go to greet Aunt Yufeng and ask her to guide our cultivation on our behalf." ”

After a long while, Wen Tao smiled bitterly and said, "This time the sect has a small chance of competing in the top ten." Alas, I can only resign myself to fate!" he walked away, leaving the two of them unsure of what to do.

Early the next morning, he came to Senior Brother Wen's residence early in the morning. Senior Brother Wen was in a bad mood and wanted to persuade him, but unexpectedly the person was not there, which made Liu Yiwen can't help but guess his whereabouts.

In recent days, after stopping his cultivation, Liu Yiwen felt that he had nothing to do. He was idle at his residence for two days, and his heart moved to remember something, and he hurriedly left the cave palace.

More than an hour later, the "Chen" smelting workshop of the Sword Pavilion.

Liu Yiwen stood behind Hao Shibo and stared intently at the smelting furnace. The smelter was different from the one he was in: there were only three furnaces in the large space, which were a little smaller than the ones he was used to, but they looked more elaborate, and to his surprise they had no pipes.

The dense runes engraved on the black and shiny smelting furnace in front of him were rotating clockwise, and the gentle five-colored spiritual light overflowed from the runes, making people feel mysterious. The magic formula in Hao Shibo's mouth was slow and urgent, the speed of the smelting furnace was fast and slow, and the runes on the furnace body also fluctuated and contracted like breathing.

Three feet away from Master Hao's body were placed seven three-legged glass tripods with a diameter of a few feet, and some unknown liquids of different colors were placed inside.

Uncle Hao was concentrating on controlling the furnace, and a strange beast beside him opened its mouth to spit out a two-finger-thick milk ** pillar, forming a dark blue flame at the bottom of the furnace. Even Liu Yiwen is now accustomed to the high temperature here, and he feels uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the furnace stopped, the lid opened, and a fiery red liquid mass the size of a walnut flew out of it. Hao Shibo pointed at this liquid mass and collected it, and this thing accurately fell into the first ding.

It's like water dripping from hot oil. The droplets slowly dispersed in the unknown liquid, forming crystals the size of mung beans and sinking to the bottom of the barrel. Liu Yiwen looked at it carefully, and these particles were somewhat familiar.

Then Hao Shibo increased the mana output, and the liquid column became the thickness of a baby's arm. After doing this several times, he took out three liquid balls of different sizes from the smelting furnace and placed them in different dings.

After a few more moments, the blue flame disappeared as soon as Master Hao's magic technique was collected, and a black mass flew out of the smelting furnace. It looked like cinders, and he threw it into a nearby metal basin.

At this time, Hao Shibo turned around and smiled at him: "Do you see some famous halls?"

Liu Yiwen said respectfully: "The liquid in this iron bucket is used to extract the five elements attribute materials, and the change in furnace temperature is changed according to the different melting points of the materials. I don't know if what my nephew said is right?"

"Well, that's pretty much! But the materials vary widely, and the control of furnace temperature and time is the essence of it. Then he pointed to the "cinders" in the metal basin and said with a hint of regret: "In the end, some materials could have been extracted from this scrap, but the heat was not well controlled, otherwise it would have been more perfect." ”

Liu Yiwen thought for a while and asked, "In addition to controlling the output of mana, what other tricks are there?"

Hao Shibo nodded and said, "Do you see the runes on the smelting furnace?" ”

Liu Yi said suddenly: "I see, it seems that controlling the speed of this smelting furnace is also the key to this." ”

Hao Shibo said happily: "Well, Yiwen is really talented in this way. I'll be here tomorrow, and you'll come back to watch. ”

Liu Yiwen said respectfully: "Yes!"

......

Half a year later, the "Chen" brand smelter.

Liu Yiwen controlled the smelting furnace in front of him and concentrated on refining. Large beads of sweat were falling down his cheeks. This refining has already been carried out for the second time, but today for some reason, Master Hao didn't mean to stop at all. At this time, he had little mana left, and he was barely holding on.

After a stick of incense, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to convey the last trace of mana, collapsed and leaned against the wall next to him, panting heavily. The column of liquid that erupted from the beast's head collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the furnace stopped turning, and the aura above immediately dimmed. Then there were a few slight muffled noises in the furnace. Liu Yiwen secretly exclaimed, and thought: I am afraid that this furnace of ore is wasted.

The thin water shield on his body disappeared, but the expected high temperature did not hit his face. He was startled, and at some point a thicker water shield appeared in front of him, protecting him inside.

He breathed a sigh of relief and reluctantly stood up, bowed to Uncle Hao with a guilty face, and said, "My nephew's mana is not good, so I wasted this spiritual material!"

Hao Shibo said indifferently: "It's okay, do you know why I let you continue to refine without resting?"

Liu Yiwen was surprised: "It turns out that the master has long known that my mana is not good?"

Hao Shibo laughed and said, "Of course, what cultivation can last for how long the refinement is already familiar to me. If I didn't know that, I'd be here for decades!"

Liu Yiwen said embarrassedly: "It's the nephew who is too stupid!"

Then Master Hao continued with a mysterious face: "You look inside and check your own jade pool!"

Liu Yiwen looked suspicious, and looked inward for a while as he commanded. Suddenly, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face!

He was already in the late stage of Qi refining!

Liu Yiwen came back to his senses after a while, and hurriedly said to Uncle Hao: "Thank you Uncle Hao for your help!"

Hao Shibo said with a smile: "Consciously controlling the mana output until it is exhausted when refining is tantamount to experiencing a battle of life and death, which has a certain stimulating effect on the jade pool. But whether you can break through depends on God's will, it seems that you are still quite favored. ”

"You can follow me to the storehouse to rest for a while, and then go back to the cave mansion! After all, it is a new realm, and it is necessary to consolidate it for a while. ”

Liu Yiwen said solemnly: "Yes, Uncle Xie advises!"

More than an hour later, he drove the flying magic weapon under his feet slowly towards Yuquan Mountain, and he was still immersed in joy. He thought that this bottleneck would take at least a few years to break through, but he didn't expect that he would succeed easily by chance. Thinking of the sect competition a year later, my mind became active again. You can still try it yourself, after all, your true sword is a top-grade magic weapon! And the ultimate sword style of the Vajra Sword Technique has also been mastered. If you think about it again, there is still some hope.

In addition, he lacks the experience of fighting with others, and this competition is a rare opportunity! Hurry up and practice, even if you can't get into the top ten, you can accumulate experience for the next competition. Thinking of this, his fighting spirit was high and he made a decision. When he returned to his residence in the cave, he couldn't wait to come to the ashram to practice.
