The sky was cloudless and windless, and the sun was as bright as fire.
At the foot of Wenwen Mountain, a stepped platform has been erected, with a total of nine steps going up and down.
On each level, there are ten small immortal platforms, with springs, stoves and other objects on them, as well as large pieces of pig iron weighing three hundred kilograms.
At the top of the high platform, the examiner was stationed. Treasure appraisers stood on both sides, with one person standing on the left and right of each platform.
And around, there are many practitioners from various immortal sects observing. After all, the magic weapon is needed by all the major immortal sects. It is of extraordinary significance. It has indeed attracted many big shots to observe, but what people did not expect is that Yes, many casual cultivators who were watching the battle also came.
Originally, Qi Dao and Talisman Dao were relatively unpopular. In previous exams, they really couldn't attract many people. However, this time, it was uncharacteristic. I don't know how many people were waiting here early in the morning, and they were very interested. Discussing while waiting.
However, the content of the discussion was somewhat unexpected.
"Tell me, will the leader of the three formations, pills, and talismans come again this time?"
While someone was talking, he kept turning around and looking around.
"The weapon path is different from the formation, elixir, and talisman. He shouldn't be here, right?"
"I don't think so. He has already captured three leaders in one go. Who knows if this weapon will also surprise people?"
"Oh my god, that's not a surprise. If someone really can win the four leaders, would that be a shock?"
"Before he won the three titles, could anyone have imagined that such a genius would be born?"
Around Sendai, various voices of discussion have ebbed and flowed.
There was nothing he could do about it. Winning three titles in a row had made Fang Yuan famous and even gained a large number of fans.
Although from a rational analysis, many people feel that Qi Dao is about foundation, background and strength, so it is difficult for such dark horses to appear, but they still couldn't restrain their curiosity and came here early in the morning to wait...
...After all, they have already been surprised twice. Who can guarantee that the third surprise will not appear
Not only these onlookers, but even some highly respected practitioners are also thinking about it.
Nowadays, as Fang Yuan's reputation grows, many people speculate about his origin.
Many people already regard him as a descendant of a certain great lineage, even a great lineage at the Holy Land level, who has been condemned to walk in the world. There are also many people who regard him as a fairy seedling secretly cultivated by the Immortal Alliance, but no matter Whichever it is, they all believe that since this person has taken advantage of the situation, there is still something to come, either the current weapon test, or the sword test or Tao battle later, they can always see him again!
…
…
Just when the surroundings were full of expectations, with the sound of three cannons, the treasure refining masters began to enter one after another.
Each party is followed by a treasure refining master, followed by three assistants, a total of four people. At the top of the list is the Lian Yang Sect of the Nanhai Refining Sect, followed by the grandson family of the Guanzhou Refining Family, You Zhouxianmen Linglong Pavilion, Zhongzhouxianfang Lianfenghao, etc.
Everyone glanced anxiously and expectantly, but they were a little regretful. There were more than ninety treasure refiners waiting to set foot on the Immortal Platform. However, after scanning several times in a row, they did not find these ninety people. There is the three-level leader wearing a green robe.
"After all, no one is omnipotent..."
"Haha, our expectations are too high. To win three titles is already very impressive. How can we expect too much?"
Everyone watching the examination of the monks felt a little disappointed in their hearts.
Thinking in their minds, they have already taken away the green robes of the three leaders, so they should continue to fight here...
Finding that Fang Yuan did not appear on the stage, many people were disappointed and lost interest in the results of the weapon test. They began to consider whether to leave here or continue to observe the test here. However, that's it. At that moment, an abnormality suddenly appeared on the Immortal Platform. A weapon master in charge of invigilating the examination walked to the furnace of the Lianfeng with his hands behind his back and whispered something.
Only then did the cultivators realize that the treasure refining master of Lian Feng was a slender woman wearing a brown skirt. She was so thin that she was very different from other treasure refining masters. And behind her, There were three people standing there, two were old cultivators in gray robes, who should be the elders of Lianfeng. The other one had a bark mask with a crying face on his face and was holding a sledgehammer in his hand...
"This fellow Taoist, during the weapon examination, it is not allowed to cover your head and face, take off the mask!"
The masked helper hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Does it matter if I wear a mask or not?"
The invigilator smiled and said: "There are rules for the instrument examination. You can apply for the same instrument multiple times, but anyone who has participated in the instrument examination is not allowed to enter again. You are wearing a mask, how do I know you are Haven’t you already taken the big exam?”
"this… "
The man wearing the mask hesitated for a moment and then took off the mask.
Behind the mask was a rather delicate face, with a slightly red face, as if he had been caught doing something bad.
"I'll go, that's..."
"It's the leader of the three, and he's actually on the stage..."
"Oh my god, he is really not willing to give in. He is here to win the first place in this grand examination..."
Cultivators from all directions were shocked when they saw Fang Yuan's appearance. There was a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. It seemed like they had seen some extraordinary sight, or like something in their hearts. My suspicion was confirmed and I was overjoyed!
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, felt slightly uncomfortable being watched by so many eyes.
I thought to myself that I was just here to help forge the iron, and even if I took the leader position, it would not be my own...
Of course, he had already talked with Xu Jiaojiao. If Lianfeng captured the leader, he would not take any other benefits. However, the opportunity to study in Langya Pavilion for three months had to be given to him. Xu Jiaojiao also readily agreed.
The Qi Dao Exam is inherently different from others. Reading for three months and the like are far less useful than some tangible rewards.
"Haha, it turns out to be you. If I had known this, I wouldn't have allowed you to take off your mask..."
The Qi Dao proctor was also startled when he saw Fang Yuan, then he laughed and walked back to the place with his hands behind his back.
"I didn't tell you earlier..."
Fang Yuan felt helpless and could only sigh softly and concentrate to calm down.
"The rules for this weapon test are simple. For those of you who are referring to it, use three hundred kilograms of pig iron on the stove to open the furnace and use your own methods to refine a ninth-level flying sword. The winner of the sword will be the best, and the time will be One day and one night, expired and invalidated, let’s start…”
The weapon master, who was also a great weapon master, had the down-to-earth characteristics of a weapon master. With a loud shout, he announced the start of the process.
In this test, even Qingxiang didn't need to use it.
It starts at Chen hour today and ends at Chen hour tomorrow, a whole day and night.
"Open the furnace and forge iron!"
Xu Jiaojiao, the owner of the Lianfeng Building, looks delicate, but she is an experienced weapon refiner. She is vigorous and resolute, but she does not show any panic. With an order, the two old cultivators behind her stepped forward to inspect the three hundred yuan. The mass of the pig iron weighing 5 kilograms, and then told her the impurities, iron content, etc. contained in it, she quickly deduced the refining method, then opened the furnace and put the pig iron in.
At this time, Fang Yuan was out of his turn to help. He was just holding a sledgehammer and waiting quietly beside him.
In my mind, I was thinking about the big wind hammer technique I just spent a day learning.
Although this hammer technique is mysterious, it is actually just a simple martial art. For him, it is not a big problem.
However, this time, after all, it was to help Sun manage things, so he was still very serious.
"are you ready?"
After waiting quietly for about half an hour, Xu Jiaojiao placed a piece of half-cooked pig iron on the black iron anvil. She turned to look at Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan also nodded, holding a giant hammer. He slowly walked to the front and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Once the hammer strikes, it can't be stopped, otherwise I won't be able to refine the Dragon's Breath Iron I need..."
Xu Jiaojiao seemed a little worried, and couldn't help but give a warning.
"I'll try!"
Fang Yuan just nodded slightly, then used his magic power with both arms, swung the hammer hard, and hit it.
"boom!"
The hammer that day weighed more than 10,000 kilograms. After swinging it, it became like a dragon. It almost flew away from the air, but was controlled by the power of his arms and used the big wind hammer technique. The magic door inside, with three points of strength, knocked on the piece of wrought iron.
"when!"
Sparks flew in all directions.
But before the blow was over, Fang Yuan hit him with the hammer again.
…
…
The weapon-refining test was actually nothing interesting. Except for the different techniques on a few other key points, everything else was similar. It was just a matter of clanging iron to cast a shape, especially the sledgehammer in Fang Yuan's hand. Although it weighs more than ten thousand kilograms, in the eyes of others, it seems that it only weighs two or three thousand kilograms, and they have no idea how much strength it actually takes to swing this sledgehammer.
And this also determines that there is nothing amazing about the process of hammering and tempering iron.
However, what is a bit strange is that all the practitioners watched such a boring assessment process with great interest. They gathered on the stage one by one, eating melon seeds and drinking tea, and some brought out delicious food and wine to have a drink. No one left.
Not only that, there are even some people who didn’t come originally but are now here.
There were more and more people watching the exam, and they were all inexplicably excited. Looking at Fang Yuan who was forging iron on the high platform, they were all looking forward to it. They didn't know what magic method he would use to make him a blockbuster again. His mood was simply incredible. I still have to worry about watching a big show...
But as time passed by slowly, they couldn't help but have weird expressions.
"Ding-ding-dang-dang-dang..."
Fang Yuan held a sledgehammer in his hand and struck the wrought iron meticulously.
Boring, monotonous and repetitive...
I don’t know how long it took, but someone finally couldn’t help it anymore: “Is this the leader of the three circles just here to blacksmith?”
Third update, I really hope you all vote for me. After all, for today’s update, my date with a soft girl is going to go to waste again...
