In the scorching summer, the fiery sun poured the blazing light desperately, the river was more than the mountains and rivers, and the mercury steamed up a thick mist, and the location of the square was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and behind the mountains was the endless sea. The mist drifted over the sea, covering the square with a thick layer of fog. Like a mirage, it is full of fantasy.

On the throne of the Nine Clouds, the masters of the major clans stood majestically in the clouds, staring into the magnificent square below that was tightly surrounded by hundreds of thousands of monks. The refining conference is extremely important, and under the leadership of Zhuo Canghong, the deputy pavilion master of Tongtian Pavilion, a group of masters surrounded him on the presiding platform on the second floor in a half-circle manner.

The square immediately quieted down, as if everything was silent, and the blazing eyes below were cast towards Zhuo Canghong at the same time, with the excitement and passion from the heart, so that the inexplicable tension gradually rose in the square......

The flag is flying, hunting in the air, and Zhuo Canghong is also quite excited to be fortunate to host the event. The deep eyes bloomed with awe-inspiring brilliance, and Zhuo Canghong was very satisfied with the adoring gazes from below. After settling down, Zhuo Canghong said aloud the opening remarks.

Zhuo was very happy to be able to preside over this grand event on behalf of the master of Nanguo Pavilion. The purpose of the Refining Conference is to select outstanding people from among thousands of fellow practitioners, to succeed the Southern Immortal Fire, and to add another super master to our immortal realm. And I'm also very pleased......" Zhuo Canghong raised the jade slip in his hand and said, "The Immortal Domain can have so many refining talents to participate in this grand event. In the first half, after the knockout assessment, we were fortunate to select 1,300 masters who passed the assessment among 7,567 people. All I have in my hand is the list of those who have made the cut. ”

Zhuo Canghong paused, deliberately leaving time for the monks below to discuss. Sure enough, after his words of encouragement, there was a sudden confusion below.

There were more than 7,000 refiners, which was indeed a considerable number, and last time there were only more than 3,000 participants, but this time it has more than doubled.

Zhuo Canghong continued: "Without further ado, let me announce the rules of the next competition. All the Taoist friends who have advanced are invited to gather in the square. ”

In other words, the square along the countless rays of brilliance soared into the sky, no one let go of the opportunity for this kind of performance, no matter how much capital a master took out, for a time the whole square showed a colorful, spectacular and gorgeous color.

Above the stands, the masters of the five clans, three clans and one pavilion also stood up one after another, a full ten people, including Lu Chen.

The refining masters of the five sects and three clans are extraordinary, and they don't need to go through the selection of the knockout round, but after the real event begins, they will be treated equally. And as we all know, the most powerful ones who can come out on top this time are none other than Li Xiu of the Treasure Hall and Huang Hanchong of the Huang family, and the slightly weaker one is Wu Hao. But Lu Chen appeared as a dark horse. In other words, at present, the most promising person to obtain the title of immortal craftsman is none other than the four people.

Of course, Li Xiu's hope is the highest, and Huang Hanchong is second......

This has little to do with cultivation, refining tools need to be comprehended, which is different from one's own cultivation. It's like a monk who has been using fire for a long time to constantly recruit and kill, and he is not as good as a master who sinks in the sea of instruments every moment and painstakingly ponders the form and breath of the instrument.

"Hehe, Xiaoyou, Wu wishes Xiaoyou success and fame in one fell swoop. Wu Xingman didn't cheer Wu Hao up, turned to look at Lu Chen, and said words of blessing.

The same is true of Emperor Huangquan, his small eyes are full of anticipation and curiosity, and he said with a smile: "Little friend, you want me to wait for an eye-opener." Otherwise, the conference will be boring. ”

These words were extremely explicit, which meant that if Lu Chen couldn't get the name of an immortal craftsman, they would just put on a show, and it wouldn't be interesting at all. And it was concealed that the two didn't care about Li Xiu and Huang Hanchong at all. This made the two refining masters even more angry.

"That's right. Li Xiu's nose snorted with displeasure, and he sneered implicitly: "Lu Chen, don't lose too early, otherwise Li will win, and it will be meaningless." ”

Lu Chen glanced at Li Xiu, he had several contacts with this guy and had a fight. What kind of person is Li Xiu, Lu Chen basically understands, that is a person who is arrogant in his bones to the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, and he is the third. Originally, he was not very convinced of himself, and he was surpassed by himself in cultivation, Li Xiu had already been unconvinced, and it was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of the refining conference to hit himself well.

"Don't worry, you won't go down before Li Daoyou. Lu Chen shot back, showing an indifferent smile. His words were very big, but he didn't underestimate Li Xiu in his heart, after all, a character who was once as famous as Green Dou would not be far behind.

On the other hand, Huang Hanchong, his eyes flashed with a touch of contempt unabashedly, contemptuous of Lu Chen, and contempt for Li Xiu. Speaking of confidence, he is more sufficient, so far, no one has seen him refining, just because he wants to make a splash.

"Hmph, after refining the Qikun Sword, I thought I was invincible in the world. I don't know what to say, today this seat will let you see, what is a real immortal craftsman, what is a refining weapon?" Falling to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust, oppressed by that momentum, the nearby monks suddenly scattered far away.

Then several masters also went down one after another, Lu Chen was the last one, he did not have the domineering momentum of Huang Hanchong, but like a ball of catkins in the wind, standing slowly and naturally on the square, the soft breath slowly emerged, there was no domineering, no killing intent, some were just light and light, leisurely and elegant.

Two diametrically opposed ways of entering the market caused a small stir. It is not difficult to see that Huang Hanchong came with resentment and self-determination, but it was Lu Chen who faced his old opponent, with a restless bearing, not domineering, and extraordinary style. From this point of view, Lu Chen's cultivation in his state of mind seems to be better than Huang Hanchong, and he is also much more approachable.

The title of killing the god made the demon on Lu Chen's back infamous, and there was no one who was not afraid of Lu Chen. But looking at it today, it seems that the rumors are not true, and depending on the situation, it seems that Huang Hanchong is more hateful.

"State of mind. This kind of state of mind is only possessed by transcendent people, yes, yes. Wu Xingman's fingertips tapped lightly on the chair under the seat, making a crisp thump sound.

Zhuo Canghong's attention was Lu Chen's three or four, casually glanced at the number of people, and felt that it was almost the same, Zhuo Canghong nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, now I will announce the first round of assessment questions." ”

As he spoke, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared on both sides of the presiding stage, each of them carrying a Qiankun bag marked with the number of the promoter, and the numbers on the small label made people not understand what Tongtian Pavilion was going to do.

Zhuo Canghong glanced down, smiled slightly, and then waved his big hand, and an astonishing wave of qi gushed out from the sleeves of the early Mahayana Qiankun Method, and then the monks holding the Qiankun bag let go of their hands one by one. The Qiankun bag marked with the number flew to the hands of the corresponding participating monks as if it had long eyes.

One bag per person, without waiting for everyone to open it, Zhuo Bufan turned out a very thick high incense stick and inserted it in a small incense tripod, which was twice as much as ordinary incense.

Zhuo Canghong said loudly: "In this bag, there are the Qikun Eighteen Swords that you and others have just refined with the Xuanshi of the earth, as well as the Domain Ice Stone weighing one penny. The rule is to refine a high-grade spiritual weapon, and the time limit is still a stick of incense. Begin. ”

Without giving people a reaction, Zhuo Canghong casually pointed out a finger of red light and lit the long incense in Zhuo Bufan's hand......

"Whoa...... What the hell, how is this possible?"

The square was like a pot of boiling water, and it was chaotic, and more than 1,300 refining masters, almost nine out of nine, were shocked.

Lu Chen was also a little stunned, this exam question is not difficult and a little difficult, more than one or two times more difficult than the knockout round.

The eighteen flying swords are all made of earth stones, and without the energy of other high-grade ores, refining medium-grade spiritual weapons is already the limit, and it is impossible to refine high-grade spiritual weapons. And this time there is no extra earth stone to make up. It must be known that the eighteen flying swords have been formed, and the flying sword is refined, which is to break the original magic weapon and re-smelt the energy essence. Originally, breaking the rules would cause a certain amount of damage, and after the eighteen flying swords were completely smelted, there was not much left. Unless the ability to control fire, eyesight, and divine sense are extremely good, the most effective use of every drop of energy. Even so, it is impossible to refine a high-grade spiritual weapon.

This point seemed to have been thought of by Tongtian Pavilion for a long time, and it was specially added with a penny weight of the domain ice stone to improve the quality of the magic weapon.

Domain Ice Stone, Lu Chen knows. It is indeed a good material for refining high-grade spiritual weapons, but it is only one penny, which is a bit too stingy. In addition, the domain ice stone is an ore of the ice family, especially the test of fire is very difficult, and it is extremely difficult to melt the raw materials of the broken and remelted earth Xuanshi into a penny.

The two difficulties are stacked together, and they are at least ten times more difficult than in the knockout round.

"Fire ...... , or fire ....... Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, his frowning brows slowly stretched, and he said secretly: Tongtian Pavilion must have their intentions in doing this, constantly testing the refiner's grasp of the flame, could it be that the Southern Immortal Fire is really so powerful?

"No matter. Lu Chen seemed to have figured out something, but he couldn't figure it out, who knows what the intention of Guo Gerong of Tongtian Pavilion was?

The idea must be, Lu Chen didn't think about it, and was about to stir up the fire in the black heart, when he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations: "What a powerful flame, there are actually four ......"

"Whew!"

Lu Chen followed the voice and looked at it, good guy, it was really colorful and colorful.

I saw that in the field, several people who stood in a line with him: Li Xiu, Huang Hanchong, Wu Hao, and a monk in black clothes and black hats each urged their true fire and began to smelt.

These four fires have different colors, Li Xiu's fire is green, the fire is very strong, and there is a strong vitality in it.

Huang Hanchong's fire was golden, and the outermost layer of the flame still had a dazzling golden light. Lu Chen and Huang Hanchong fought many times, but everyone only saw him use a sword, and there was no flame. But refining weapons and fighting methods are two different things, and it is normal for people not to use fire, but this fire is not inferior to Li Xiu in any way.

Wu Hao is the blue fire, the unique natal true fire of the Demon Sect, the grade of Jiuyang Heavenly Fire.

The man in black was also terrifying, it turned out to be a thunderous fire, the fire was fierce, and the purple light rushed to the sky.

The four of them have all reached the level of Jiuyang Heavenly Fire, and after years of cultivation (8), the Natal True Fire will slowly change with the caste of the spiritual root. That's why it has different colors.

The true fire of the four people's natal fire can be described by the words "extremely harsh". It's like comparing fire to the landlord's old wealth, and the medium-grade spiritual weapon magic weapon under their hands is compared to the farmer who rents land, the landlord will not rest until he squeezes out the last trace of the farmer's hard work, and the real fire will never stop if he does not squeeze out the last bit of pure energy of the magic weapon, which is full of domineering and crazy atmosphere. The flying swords in the hands of the four of them turned into nothingness after ten breaths, leaving only more than ten drops of pure liquid floating in front of them.

It is difficult to complete the refining of the magic weapon in about two incense sticks, and the first difficulty lies in the smelting and purification. However, these four people almost used the blink of an eye to extract the essence energy of the Qikun Eighteen Swords, which showed that the skill of refining the weapon was not shallow.

Everyone took out all their skills to treat the game seriously, of course, Lu Chen couldn't show weakness, smiling lightly, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth showed dimples that were so shallow that they were not easy to detect. With a sudden luck, a heinous black fire rose into the sky, and with the firelight, the eighteen swords of Qikun burned into flying fire in an instant, and the essence of the magic weapon was vibrant. The speed was nearly ten times faster than that of Li Xiu and the others.

"Boom!" The five strands of natal true fire, blooming with different colors and the same domineering atmosphere, rushed straight to the sky, forming five huge fire clouds, and finally let the conference kick off the long-lasting prelude......
