Chen Qixian sat in the inner realm, the old man did not appear in front of him as always, he had been condensing his aura for an hour, and he could not gather in the dantian, and he could not form the waterhole they said. Chen Qixian could only exit the inner realm first, opened his eyes, and returned to the real world. Today is the preliminary round of the forging competition, and I will definitely go to cheer for the purple pupil.

He walked to the front desk of the inn, everyone was ready, Zhong Lingxue, Zhang Xuntian, Mu Qingfeng and his party were all there. Chen Qixian asked, "Is it closed today?" The proprietress hurriedly pushed them all out, locked the door and said, "It's just one morning, it's fine." Hurry, hurry, it's almost time to start. ”

The location of the forging competition is in the center of Tianping City, and a temporary large building is made, which is only a street away from the official mansion, and if there is any special situation, you can rush over immediately.

"Wow, when I usually come here, there are very few people, but today there are so many people, and the people from the government are here. As soon as Chen Qixian's words came out, everyone else stayed away from him, how embarrassing it was, knowing that there was a game today, there must be many people, hurry, pretend not to know him.

After a while, the auditorium was full and the contestants entered the arena. The host shouted: "Everyone is welcome to participate in this forging competition, and everyone is welcome to cheer." Okay, today, I will explain to you the rules of this forging competition, this competition is divided into three levels, the first level, forging the equipment we require. As long as you are qualified, you can enter the next level, the second level is the production of weapons and equipment for the contestants, as for the third level, then wait for the contestants to pass the second level, you can say. So, next, let's show off your talents. ”

There are about thirty people who came to participate in the competition this time, and the first level is relatively simple, making a spirit gathering ring can better absorb spiritual energy for low-level cultivators, and advance faster. Half an hour. I saw that Purple Hitomi and the other boy were all there, doing nothing, while the other contestants were working desperately to make it. Chen Qixian and the others looked at Zitong standing motionless, and they were all a little anxious for her: "Hey, what do you say Zitong and that man are standing there for? It's been ten minutes, it's just a spirit gathering ring, isn't it a fifteen-minute thing for her? As for thinking about it for so long?" Chen Qixian said impatiently, even more panicked than her, as if he was going to participate in the competition. Hey, I really responded to that sentence, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry.

The fat man glanced at him: "You are really, and it's not your competition, what's more, let me tell you, the purple pupil and the man must have their own ideas, maybe they want to make the finale, in this way, wouldn't it look more handsome? Maybe you might even make a lot of money. Hahaha"

Hey, there is one more person I don't know, and no one wants to know Chen Qixian and Fat Man.

Half an hour has passed, I saw Zi Tong pick up the materials on the table, quickly seal with both hands, and each material is given aura, and then, throw all of them into the furnace, half an hour later, take out a fiery red embryo, strike iron, and after forming, put it directly into cold water to cool. After a while, polish the remaining materials from before into the form of beads, inlay them on the spirit gathering ring, and it's done.

"Ding", the host appeared on the stage again: "Okay, the time has come, please stop, all the contestants, and next, we will invite our senior forger, Mr. Li to evaluate each work for us." ”

Li Lao slowly walked up to the stage, the host followed beside him, Li Lao looked at the works of the previous contestants, and kept shaking his head: "No, this is not good, this is even worse." As he reached the twelfth, he picked up a blue spirit ring and looked at it, then nodded. While continuing to watch, Li Laodu immediately took a look, and when he saw the spirit gathering ring made by the purple pupil, he was a little surprised, and said to the host next to him: "Are you sure that all the people who came to participate today are newcomers, not intermediate forgers?"

The host nodded: "Elder Li, I'm sure of this, if someone is an intermediate forger, their identity will be sensed when they enter the venue." ”

Li Lao nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at the spirit gathering ring next to him, which was the boy who was in a daze at the beginning just now, just like the purple pupil. Li Lao smiled: "Hey, fortunately, there are still a few more that are still possible, really, can you find good candidates next time and let them participate in the competition, don't let everyone participate, otherwise it will be a waste of time and materials." ”

"That's for sure, I promise there will be no next time. In that case, Mr. Li, you already have a candidate, so let's go back first. ”

Half an hour later, the list came out, and half of the people were eliminated in the first level, and half of them were left. Chen Qixian was stunned: "This is too strict, half of the people will be eliminated at once." ”

"You don't understand this, this is not only related to the identity of a forger, but also related to the safety of the user's life, if it is on the battlefield, your sword is not cut by your enemy, but due to quality problems, the moment you wait, there is only death. Zhong Lingxue said.

Chen Qixian looked at her and looked at the arena, not knowing what he was thinking at this moment.

The second level started soon, this time it was free to play, and it was Zitong's forte. This girl, you don't have to guess, you know that she will make a thunder-attribute weapon, after all, she is a disciple of Jiang Lei Gong. This time the time is three hours, although it has been a long time, but it is still a bit short of to make a weapon.

"It seems that I can't open the store today, hey, it seems that I can only deduct your salary for two days. The proprietress looked at Chen Qixian and the fat man with sly eyes. Chen Qixian shouted while pulling the fat man: "Don't pull me, fat man, let me go over and beat her, I'm going to beat her, she's exploiting labor." The fat man looked helpless, hey, it's enough to have a crazy person at home, and a crazy one to accompany him, it's really drunk.

Three hours have arrived, the weapons have been completed, Li Lao didn't need to call this time, he ran up in person, observing each weapon, Li Lao walked back and forth several times, each one felt very good, Li Lao said two words to the host, the host nodded, and then said: "Since these fifteen weapons are in the eyes of Li Lao, this level is the last level, but we still have to evaluate this level, and the winning condition of this level is that the weapons made by each contestant must be carried by the trial hammer." ”

The carrying of the trial hammer is very simple, but the trial hammer is an intermediate forging master in order to become a senior forging master, in the weapons made, twenty strokes, the sword has not been broken, you can directly become a senior forger, if not, I'm sorry, you can only continue to work hard.

I only heard every sound of the hammer, as if my heart was dripping blood. Hey, it really hurts. Finally, it was the turn of the purple pupil's thunder attribute sword, only to see the big man holding the trial hammer and knocking down the sword one by one, the proprietress couldn't bear to look at it, and after twelve knocks, the sword was broken directly. This is still the second longest time among all the swords, the first one is the young man, the sword he made, it took sixteen knocks before it broke, four more than the sword of the purple pupil.

"Okay, as you can see, our organizers have decided that if you can persist in more than ten strokes of the sword, you can become an intermediate forging master, and if you persist in more than five strokes, you can become a junior forging master, if you can't hold on to it at once, I'm sorry, and continue to work hard in the next forging competition. ”

In this forging competition, Zitong and the boy became intermediate forgers at the same time, five of them became junior blacksmiths, and the rest of them lost their qualifications, but there are still many people looking for them to forge trinkets, because, in daily life, they will also need to be used, and they have not yet become junior blacksmiths, and the price may be a little cheaper.

The proprietress ran up and hugged the purple pupil: "Oh, my purple pupil, you are awesome, but the sword that was just made was broken like this, it's very distressing, right, let's go home for dinner." ”

Zitong shook his head: "No, the organizer still has compensation, and I became an intermediate forger, and they also gave away some materials and five hundred ingots, No, the boss lady will give it to you, anyway, I can't use so much." ”

The proprietress immediately took the money, put it in her arms, and looked at the fat man and Chen Qixian: "Look at the two of you, and then look at the purple pupil, there is no comparison, you two don't have to rest, take turns to work, and the purple pupil has to rest for a few days." ”

, this time even the fat man can't stand it, if it weren't for Zhang Hyuntian and Xiao Hu pulling them, they might really be beaten by the boss's wife.

"Yes, your thoughts are the same as mine, as soon as you see the materials, you know that the materials given by the organizer have been refrigerated, and there is not much aura, take it out, dry it for an hour, let the aura of the material make up for itself, and the spirit ring produced is more quality. Hello, I am Lianqian from the Heaven Refining Continent. I don't know the girl's name?".

Purple Pupil recognized that this man was the man who had been waiting with Purple Pupil for half an hour at the first level, and immediately replied, "Oh, hello, my name is Purple Pupil." ”

"Purple Pupil girl, make friends with you here, I will be in the Shenzhou Continent during this time, but not necessarily in Tianping City, if you need my help with something, you can contact me with this." With that, Lian Qian handed over a jade pendant: "Then, girl, I will leave first." ”

Zi Tong took the jade pendant, and just wanted to say thank you, Lian Qian had already disappeared into the sea of people, and just wanted to go to him, he was surrounded by some merchants, all of whom wanted to find Zi Tong to be the forging master in their shop. Zitong put the jade pendant away, ignored the merchants, and ran directly to Chen Qixian's side and looked at the sky: Master, I succeeded. I have become an intermediate forger, and if you continue to watch from the sky, I will definitely work harder.
