Master Kurong lived in the back mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. He would get up every morning and look at the sea of mist below the mountain, counting the days in his heart, waiting for the arrival of his beloved disciple Yu Xiuming.
The Beast King Sect is one of the best cave heaven paradises in Danzhou. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has abundant spiritual energy. Master Kurong naturally lives very comfortably.
But what he likes most is the big river that is only about ten miles away from the Beast King Sect's back mountain. When he is free, he always looks at this big river and is lost in thought. The river is more than a hundred feet wide and stretches for thousands of miles. The river is rushing eastward, like It's a water dragon that winds away.
Every day when the sun rises, the rolling waves in the river roll up the white mist on the river and scatter it outwards. The vast water is hazy among the mountains. Looking from a distance, the clouds and mist linger in the Beast King Sect. Between the peaks, it's like walking into a fairyland.
On this day, a loud bell suddenly sounded in the distance. Master Kurong's eyes lit up, he opened his body and came to a huge square at the foot of the main peak.
At this time, Venerable Ten Thousand Beasts, Venerable Yu Qi, Old Ape and others have arrived here. Their eyes are looking far ahead, waiting quietly.
Suddenly, a sound that broke through the air came from a distance. Xun Sheng looked around and saw a stream of white light coming quickly, turning out to be a silver flying carpet.
Soon, the flying carpet became clearer and clearer, and two figures sitting cross-legged on the flying carpet could be clearly seen.
They were none other than Master Tiandao and Yu Xiuming, a close disciple of Master Ku Rong who had returned.
In the square, many disciples of the Beast King Sect raised their heads. During this period, rumors have spread that the people participating in the Danzhou and Zhangzhou weapon refining competition will no longer be designated by Wuzhi Peak, but will compete based on their own abilities. One of the candidates is representing the Beast King Sect. Master Ouyang Ming. Therefore, these disciples came to the square to wait, wanting to witness this grand event with their own eyes.
In the square, Ouyang Ming, who had followed the news a long time ago, narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the silver flying carpet flying quickly in the air, and glanced at the middle-aged man in gray clothes.
His eyes sparkled, and he knew that this was Master Kurong's disciple, the forging genius.
He exhaled and sighed inwardly, today I want to see who is the top forging genius of the Danzhou human race.
The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and a majestic aura that swallowed mountains and rivers burst out from him, and his slightly thin body became extremely tall. At this moment, no matter what difficulties and dangers stood in front of him, he would crush them without hesitation.
"The Weapon Refining Competition is held once every thirty years. In the past hundred years, no one has participated except those from Wuzhi Peak. If Master Ou can get this quota, this monopoly will be broken."
"It's difficult. Lord Ku Rong is not only the most powerful person in the human race, but also has a master level in blacksmithing. How can he be accepted as a closed disciple? How can he be a simple person?" A young man in a long gown opened his mouth and analyzed after being silent for a while. .
"Hmph, having said that, Master Ou is so simple again? He can even forge a flying carpet, what else can't be done?" A disciple of the middle-level spiritual master snorted and retorted sharply.
Just as the disciples of the Beast King Sect were discussing in small groups, Master Tiandao and Yu Xiuming jumped down from the flying carpet.
Lord Tiandao rolled up his sleeves and put away the flying carpet.
He walked up to Master Kurong and said respectfully: "I've met Master Uncle!"
Yu Xiuming also walked over, with a solemn look on his face, bowed and said: "Meet the Master."
Master Kurong looked kindly, looked at Lord Tiandao, and said, "No need to be polite."
Then he turned his attention to Yu Xiuming and said in a calm voice: "When you were young, you were taken into the door by me and devoted yourself to studying the art of forging. Time flies, thirty years have passed. Now, it is time to test your achievements. "
Master Ku Rong's eyes showed a rare trace of memory. In his heart, he really liked Yu Xiuming, a closed disciple. Talent could only be one of the reasons. The most important thing was his character. Always remember that hard work can make up for weakness. He is also as gentle as jade. Although he is extremely proud in his bones, since he is a genius, who doesn't have arrogance? Who doesn’t have pride
Yu Xiuming was dressed in gray clothes, but they were washed white. He said with a sincere face: "Being able to become Master's disciple is the greatest blessing in Xiu Ming's life."
Master Kurong shook his head. The wrinkles on his face were all squeezed together. He looked at the old ape beside him and said in a deep voice: "Old ape, he is here and he will compete in three games. What do you think?" Among all the people present, , only the old ape had the same seniority as him, so he asked the old ape for his opinion, which was considered as giving the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect enough face.
The old ape tapped his fingers on the chair surface and said with a smile: "Master Kurong, you are the master of blacksmithing. You can make the decision."
"Okay, since you said so, let me rely on my old age and show off my old age for once." Master Kurong withdrew his gaze from the old ape.
He stood up directly from the chair, looked at Yu Xiuming and Ouyang Ming with burning eyes, and said in a low voice: "The weapon refining competition held every thirty years is not a child's play. The scores will naturally be high and low. You two will compete in three games. The winner will get a spot and can represent Danzhou in the weapon refining competition." The sound sounded like thunder, stirring up the mist in the mountains.
As soon as he thought, four ordinary materials flew out of his space bag and appeared in the center of the square, piled up like a hill.
Seeing that everyone was confused, he explained softly: "The comparison in the first round is about the basics. The one who can forge equipment with good quality and excellent attributes from ordinary materials is the real forging master! Well, not much to say. , starting now, the time limit is one stick of incense. If the time is up and it is not completed, it will be considered as surrender." As soon as he finished speaking, Master Ku Rong raised his right hand and pushed forward hard. An incense burner grew into the wind and fell out of thin air. Two red sandalwood sticks emitted purple smoke and rolled into the sky in circles.
"Hiss!"
A Beast King Sect disciple took two breaths in a row, pointed at the materials in the field, and said with a look of disbelief: "These materials are all the most common materials in the spiritual world. An ordinary blacksmith can make one Ordinary magical weapons are pretty good, right?”
"Being able to refine ordinary magic weapons is certainly a good thing, but don't forget that these two people in front of you represent the highest level of the younger generation in Danzhou. How can you use common sense to judge them?"
"Younger generation?" The man in the robe had a strange look on his face and deliberately lowered his voice: "Yu Xiuran is in his early forties, right? But Master Ou..." He did not finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant. Master Ou is younger than Yu Xiuran. Much more. Compared with Yu Xiuran, who has been immersed in this way for thirty years, he has lost a lot of accumulation, which is a great disadvantage. Forging equipment is a hard work, and without time accumulation it is difficult to achieve results.
Venerable Yu Qi sat upright, looked at the old ape, and asked in a low voice: "Old Ape, do you think what kind of equipment can the two of them make using such ordinary materials?"
Yuan Lao glared fiercely, full of momentum, and sneered: "You are digging a hole for me to jump into, I won't be fooled!" He would not guess casually, Ouyang Ming was not a person who played his cards according to common sense.
Ou Yangming was not affected by these words and looked away from the material. He thought to himself that it was indeed the most common material in the spirit world, but the order in which the materials were added was different, so the grade of the forged magical artifacts must be very different. He did not rush to do it, but instead kept deducing it in the spiritual world, adding blue flint first, and then blood refining stone.
No, no, the refractory point of blue flint is extremely low. If you add it first, it will destroy the structure, but if you add the blood refining stone first, it will lose its stability.
Countless permutations and combinations appeared in his mind, but he rejected them one by one.
Once, twice, and three times, he continued to deduce using the exhaustive method. There were fewer and fewer feasible plans in his mind, but not only was he not discouraged, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
While Ouyang Ming was thinking, a white light suddenly burst out from Yu Xiuming's hand.
The left and right hands cooperate with each other, and every muscle in the body seems to be connected, and the movements are seamless and extremely smooth.
He glanced at Ouyang Ming and snorted coldly: "Humph, you are pretending to be a ghost!"
In the blink of an eye, half of the sandalwood incense has been burned.
Suddenly, a look of pride flashed across Yu Xiuming's face, his hands moved faster, his fingers were flying, and he shouted in a low voice: "Ning!"
He raised his right hand and pressed it down sharply. The white light in the air became hot, and even the sunlight falling in the air was eclipsed. He looked arrogant, and the air vibrated slightly with his movements. A helmet appeared in the air. Condensed out of the white light.
The lines on the helmet were engraved one after another, as clear as the marks drawn by a knife. He was sure that he would win this round.
Yu Xiuming did not expect that in the first round, he would perform beyond his level. Moreover, refining equipment with ordinary refining materials was his area of expertise, so he would definitely win in the first round.
Seeing Yu Xiuming's coherent and unified movements, Venerable Yu Qi nodded secretly and said softly: "As expected of Master Ku Rong's disciple, whether it is the control of flames or the adjustment of details, he is impeccable. ”
"Yes, Master Ou has met his opponent this time." The Venerable Ten Thousand Beasts also spoke in agreement.
He frowned and glanced casually at Ouyang Ming, feeling secretly in his heart, Master Ou, most of the sandalwood has been burned. What are you waiting for? If you don't take action, you will really lose.
It was at this time that Ouyang Ming finally found the best solution.
An electric arc flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, a white light flashed in his palm, and a suction force exploded, directly rolling the refining materials on the ground into the air, and melting them in a unique rhythm.
The fire of Tianfeng burned blazingly, and a burning sensation spread out.
This speed was more than twice as fast as Yu Xiuming's. This was due to Ouyang Ming's deliberate suppression. It was not that he underestimated his opponent, but that he took the opportunity to find the best temperature for melting the material. For forging equipment, it is not that the higher the temperature, the better, but that you need to find a balance point. If it is too strong, it will easily break, and the wisdom will be damaged. This principle applies everywhere.
"Wow, Master Ou's forging speed is so fast!"
"Yes, although I have heard from others that Master Ou's forging speed is extremely fast, I thought it was an exaggeration. But... Grandma, how fast is this? It's just flying!"
The disciples of the Beast King Sect stared at Ouyang Ming without blinking, fearing that they would miss any detail.
