Early the next morning, Tuobaye, Wang Hao, Ziling, and Huangfuya rushed to Qiqi Square.
Before dawn, the area around the Artifact Refining Square was already crowded with people, and the better places had already been taken up.
There is no fee to watch the refining machine, so many people want to have a glimpse.
It's just that there are only so many auditoriums, and only a small number of people can attend the scene in person.
As for the others, they can only watch the video on those streets.
The process of refining the weapon will be recorded with a video stone, and then everyone can see it.
Watching it outside is definitely different from watching it live.
Fortunately, every immortal weapon master had a seat near the front, so Tuobaye and Wang Hao gave up, and let Ziling and Huangfuya sit down and watch.
Anyway, they all have to play, and they don't need seats.
After the first round of exchanges, there were 12,000 Immortal Artifact Masters left, and 28,000 Spirit Artifact Masters left. A total of 40,000 people entered the second round.
Knowing this number, Tuobaye and Wang Hao were very surprised. You must know that they are all young and strong, and their age is not more than two hundred years old.
No more than two hundred years old, those who can become immortal weapon masters are all peerless geniuses, but there are 12,000 people standing here, which is not considered eliminated, and there are still people who have come to participate.
The Holy Immortal Realm is just the lowest level of the world of cultivating immortals, and there are already so many talented immortal weapon masters, so a larger world of cultivating immortals must be even more extraordinary.
Thinking of this, both Tuobaye and Wang Hao felt the same way, and they no longer had the slightest sense of pride.
"Immortal Artifact Masters, Spirit Artifact Masters present, and audiences, hello everyone! My name is Zhao Gang, and I will host this exchange meeting. Now, please enter the Artifact Refining Platform according to the number of all Immortal Artifact Masters and Spirit Artifact Masters." Zhao Gang said loudly.
He looked forty or fifty years old, very dignified, with the momentum of a superior.
His eyes were sharp and he looked a little scary.
Those fairy weapon masters and spiritual weapon masters who were qualified to enter the second round all moved and began to check their seats.
Tuobaye and Wang Hao were looking for their own positions, but they were not together.
In order to prevent Wang Hao from being plotted against, after they arrived at the scene, they deliberately opened up some distance.
In the process of finding the location, Tuobaye saw Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang also saw him, he was very proud, and he was smiling, and there was a sinister smile in that smile.
"It looks like I've been tricked into this competition." Tuobaye knew something was wrong even before he entered the crafting platform.
He had thought a long time ago that Wang Qiang would not let it go.
Since they can't do anything in Tianqi City, they can only do something on the refining equipment to make him out.
Zhong Yuan did agree to help him, but if he wanted to help, he might not be able to take good care of him.
The exchange meeting was hosted by Zhao Gang, so it was easier for him to do something.
Tuobaye was extremely calm, he didn't take it to heart, and continued to search for his refining platform.
Not long after, he found a place, entered the refining platform, and opened the outer shield.
With the shield open, he can't see the outside situation without any interference.
However, outside the shield, you can see the situation inside the shield, and you can clearly see the refining process.
Entering the crafting platform, Tuobaye looked at the materials and requirements of the crafting for the first time.
There is a sign on the refining platform, which is clearly written.
"Xuanyu, a third-grade fairy weapon master, refines a third-grade fairy weapon, the Thousand-Blade Knife. The refining materials are as follows: Thousand-Blade Steel..."
After seeing the refining materials, Tuobaye's expression changed instantly.
The thousand-edged knife is a third-grade fairy weapon used for practicing hands, and the materials are relatively common.
Although Tuobaye had never refined the Thousand-Blade Knife, he knew that the most important material of the Thousand-Blade Knife, besides the Thousand-Blade Steel, was the Hundred Forging Stone.
The weapons made from Qianren Steel are extremely sharp, but relatively brittle and easy to break.
After adding the hundred forging stone, the weapon will become extremely tough, and the weapon will not break easily.
If there is no Hundred Refinement Stone, the Thousand-Blade Knife refined may not be able to be used at all.
"My materials must have been tampered with, but if I go out to argue with people, let alone whether I can get an explanation, at least those high-level officials in Tianqi City will look down on me." Tuobaye was very calm and began to think about this issue.
After much deliberation, he still decided to refine the weapon first, and then refine the Thousand Bladed Saber.
As long as you refine the Thousand-Blade Knife and then ask questions, those high-level officials in Tianqi City will naturally understand that there is something tricky in it, and then they will be biased towards him.
Of course, if he failed in refining, then Wang Qiang's wish must have been fulfilled, and he would not be eligible to enter the third and final round of exchanges.
He didn't even qualify for the third round, and nothing he said was of any use.
Even if the top management of Tianqi City gave him justice, he would still be a loser.
Tuobaye had no choice but to look at Wang Qiang and Zhao Gang with admiration. They really had some tricks, and they were able to come up with such insidious tricks.
Tuobaye was very helpless, he began to think about how to refine the Thousand Bladed Saber, and it had to be refined beautifully.
Without the Hundred Forging Stone, he had to solve the shortcoming of Qianrengang's brittleness.
As long as this problem is solved, it doesn't matter if there is a Hundred Forging Stone or not.
It's just that the refining time is only ten days, if you can't refine the Thousand Bladed Saber in ten days, you will be considered eliminated.
Tuobaye was not in a hurry, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and began to think of various ways in his mind.
In fact, if he uses the way of divine refinement, it will not be difficult at all. He can directly change the structure of Qianren Steel to make it harder.
The problem is that he can't use the way of divine refinement, and it will be more troublesome to solve this problem.
He went through all the knowledge of refining equipment he had learned, but he didn't seem to find a solution.
For three consecutive days and nights, he sat in meditation.
The other fairy weapon masters and spiritual weapon masters got busy and started refining weapons.
Only Tuobaye didn't move, he was too conspicuous.
Seeing that Tuobaye didn't make a move, Zhong Yuan knew something must have gone wrong.
"Xiaoyuan, is he the one you recommended to me? Why hasn't he started refining weapons?" Long Chen, the lord of Tianqi City, also noticed Tuobaye.
"City Lord, I have personally seen Xuanyu refining, the speed is absolutely top-notch, and the quality of the refined artifacts is also very good. He hasn't started refining yet, so I guess he was tricked." Zhong Yuan said.
"Tricked?" Long Chen asked suspiciously.
Zhong Yuan sighed: "City Lord, I haven't had time to tell you clearly, this Xuanyu and Wang Qiang are at odds. During the first round of exchanges, Wang Qiang went to obstruct Xuanyu's refining. If I hadn't been there in person, there might not have been trouble What's going on. I really didn't expect that the three city lords would personally act as referees, and some people would dare to do something, so I didn't pay attention to it before."
"So that's it! Xiaoyuan, go over and see clearly what's wrong." Long Chen said indifferently: "Remember, no matter what the problem is, don't say anything, just tell me."
Zhong Yuan took a closer look and immediately discovered the problem.
Seeing Zhong Yuan go to see Tuobaye, Zhao Gang's expression became ugly.
Zhong Yuan returned to Long Chen's side, and said: "City Master, the situation is not good. What Xuanyu wants to refine is a thousand-edged sword, but without a hundred forging stones, it is impossible to refine a thousand-edged sword."
"It seems that I haven't been born for too long, Tianqi City has become more and more unruly." Long Chen's eyes flashed a cold light.
"City Lord, how do you think this matter will be handled?" Zhong Yuan asked.
Long Chen sighed: "The exchange meeting has been going on for three days and three nights, it is impossible to interrupt, and we can't help Xuanyu. Whether he can overcome this difficulty depends on his ability. If he can't succeed I can't help him even if he refines the thousand-edged knife. But if he succeeds in refining, then I can justifiably accept him as a disciple, and severely punish those who do tricks."
Zhong Yuan revealed a worried expression, and sighed: "That's all I have to do. I hope Xuanyu can successfully refine the Thousand-Blade Saber. However, without the Hundred Forging Stone, how can I successfully refine it? Anyway, I have no choice. "
Long Chen said with a smile: "Xiao Yuan, in fact, there is no Hundred Refinement Stone, but you can also refine a Thousand-Edge Saber, you can start thinking about it now."
"There is a way!" Zhong Yuan said in surprise.
"certainly!"
"As long as there is a solution, then Xuanyu has the possibility of success." Zhong Yuan said happily.
Zhao Gang was a little worried that the city lord would pursue him, so he kept looking at Long Chen and Zhong Yuan, but he was relieved when Long Chen didn't ask.
This time, Tuobaye's information was indeed manipulated by Zhao Gang's subordinates.
If Long Chen pursued it, Zhao Gang had already made up his mind, let his subordinates take the blame, and he would stay out of the matter.
If this matter is seriously pursued, the responsibility will be heavy, and he is not willing to take responsibility.
Time passed bit by bit, and seven days and seven nights passed in a blink of an eye, and some people had already completed the task of refining weapons.
As for Tuobaye, he was still sitting quietly and did not start refining the weapon.
Zi Ling was extremely worried: "I don't know what's going on, Xuanyu hasn't made a move yet."
"Yeah, Brother Hao has come out, what is the boss doing?" Huang Fuya was also puzzled.
Ziling pondered for a moment, then said: "I know, there must be something wrong with Xuanyu's refining materials. There is no way to refine the weapon, and he is still trying to find a way."
"There are still three days and three nights left. If we can't think of a solution, I'm afraid we won't have enough time." Huangfu Ya's face changed slightly.
"I hope there is still time!" Ziling prayed.
Suddenly, Tuobaye opened his eyes and smiled.
After seven days and seven nights of meditation, he finally thought of a way.
He started refining the weapon, took out the furnace that had been prepared earlier, and started smelting materials.
However, he only put in the Thousand Blade Steel, obviously the Thousand Blade Steel was smelted first.
Thousand-blade steel is very brittle and easy to break, so it is not suitable for refining weapons. It's just that someone found the Hundred Refinement Stone, which just happened to make up for the shortcomings of the Thousand Blade Steel, making the Thousand Blade Steel an excellent material for refining weapons.
Now, Tuobaye didn't have a hundred forging stone, but he had to find other ways to forge a good weapon out of thousand blade steel.
Anyway, there is no introduction to this aspect of the knowledge of refining equipment that is circulated outside.
If there was an explanation, Tuobaye wouldn't have to be so embarrassing.
The method he came up with is actually very simple, that is to first forge the Thousand Blades Steel, and then forge the Thousand Blades Steel. Every time you forge it, you will engrave a tenacity formation, so that the Thousand Blades Steel will gradually become tougher.
And after the thousand forgings, the shortcoming of the thousand blade steel being very brittle will be changed.
The Thousand Blade Steel after Thousand Forging is perfect, even better than adding Hundred Forging Stone.
It's just that Qianduan is not an easy task. It takes a lot of time to burn the formation.
Tuobaye only had three days and three nights left, his time was very short.
For most immortal weapon masters, even if they know the method, it is impossible to refine the thousand-edged sword.
