Ning Zhishui knew what his master meant and didn't mind going on stage.
Only those with poor abilities are afraid of being called out and displayed in public. Those who are capable will naturally not show their weakness.
Jiao Yue glanced at Jiao Cheng and nodded encouragingly to him.
Jiao Cheng's face was tense as he sat down in front of the refining furnace.
Both mother and son believed that the reason why the Great Elder chose Ning Zhishui as his disciple was because she had good spiritual roots and happened to know how to refine weapons.
Yes, it is almost universally acknowledged by the entire sect that Ning Zhishui has excellent spiritual roots, otherwise it would be impossible for him to reach the Gold-shaping Realm at such a young age.
But when it comes to refining equipment... they just don't believe that Jiao Cheng would be worse than her!
Although Jiao Cheng had never had a master, because of Jiao Yue, he had a good relationship with several weapon refiners in the sect and received a lot of guidance from them.
Even the Great Elder had once given Jiao Cheng guidance at Jiao Yue's request.
But what about water?
Most people with a family background have found a master or become a disciple when they are a few years old.
Ning Zhishui joined the sect when he was over ten years old, which shows that he did not have a good background. He probably spent all his time practicing.
Even if she knows how to refine weapons, she only knows the basics. How can she compare with Jiao Cheng?
It’s just right, I can use this grand ceremony to let everyone see what level this person is at.
If she lost face here, she would become the laughing stock of the sect, and even the chief elder would lose face.
When the time comes, Jiao Cheng will go and become a disciple, and maybe the Great Elder will agree...
Thinking of this, Jiao Cheng almost laughed out loud, and the only trace of nervousness in his heart disappeared, leaving only the determination to win.
After Ning Zhishui came to power, unsurprisingly, he became the focus of attention of the entire sect.
The other ten disciples on the stage almost all served as her foils... Oh no, actually those people were also secretly looking at Ning Zhishui.
In the audience, several people had their eyes wide open.
"Third, Third Senior Sister, it's actually her! Hairpin!"
A round-faced female cultivator widened her eyes in excitement, reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the person next to her, and spoke incoherently.
"What are you talking about... Did she sell you the hairpin?" The third senior sister reacted.
"Yeah!" The round-faced female cultivator nodded frantically.
If it’s not Tushan Xiaohua, then who else could it be?
She had just arrived from Chongyun Cave this morning and successfully completed the task after a narrow escape.
After she came back, she told her third senior sister that it was thanks to the Feng Luo hairpin that it really helped a lot.
If I hadn't bought it, I would definitely not be able to complete the mission, and I might even get injured.
But now she discovered that the person who sold her the hairpin was actually the legendary Zhenyuan!
"So it's her. You've actually dealt with her... No, could it be that your hairpin was made by her herself?" The third senior sister came back to her senses.
He is the disciple of the Great Elder, and he also goes on stage to refine weapons, so his level must be very high.
After Fifth Junior Sister came back, she praised the hairpin highly. Does that mean that the thing was not only sold by Zhenyuan, but also made by her?
Tushan Xiaohua nodded without hesitation, "Of course she is, she must be super amazing."
The only drawback of the hairpin is that it is too plain, without any patterns, and can hardly serve a decorative purpose.
But Tushan Xiaohua thought it was okay. She didn't like those fancy decorations, and if the magic weapon was too eye-catching, it might attract people's attention. It would be better to keep a low profile and be safer.
As a rookie, she is very aware of her own abilities.
"That will be interesting."
When the third senior sister heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked at the stage with anticipation.
Although she didn't know how to refine equipment, she knew that whether it was refining pills or equipment, most people preferred to refine it behind closed doors and did not like to make the process public, so as to prevent some techniques from being learned by others.
The great way is inherently difficult to ascend, and cultivators prefer to keep things to themselves when it comes to cultivation, which is also human nature.
The situation is better in sects, as seniors often give lectures and explanations, so disciples often practice refining in public to seek guidance.
However, despite this, it is still a rare opportunity to see the great elder's disciple refining weapons in public.
And he is a person of formation affinity!
"By the way, among all the people in the formation, is it true that only this Uncle Ning is a weapon refiner?" The third sister thought of something and asked Tushan Xiaohua.
While Tushan Xiaohua was still pondering, someone beside her interrupted, "That's right! It seems that only Zhenyuan is an alchemist, and the others are not."
As a person with a destiny for formations, his comprehension and aptitude are absolutely excellent. With such talent, why would he need to cultivate any skill? It would be useless to distract him and waste his time. He just needs to focus on cultivation.
Among the known people in the formation, it seems that only the previous alchemist and the weapon refiner Ning Zhishui have cultivated skills.
"Wow, she is so good? Then she will definitely get first place." Tushan Xiaohua was excited.
Judging from the last contact, Ning Zhishui is very easy-going and not at all arrogant.
He is so strong and easy to talk to, and even the magic tools he sells are so cheap... Tushan Xiaohua liked Ning Zhishui very much after just one contact.
"Well, Fifth Junior Sister, that's not necessarily true." Third Junior Sister couldn't help but laugh, "She's still too young, she might not be able to compare to others."
"I don't care, she will definitely win." Tushan Xiaohua is full of confidence.
At the same time, two male cultivators were whispering.
"I didn't expect that the person who formed the formation was her."
"Indeed, he was only fourteen years old, and he was a disciple of Wanqing Peak. Why didn't we think of this at the time?"
"Now it seems that she made all our magical instruments herself?"
These two people were Han Yulun, who bought Ning Zhishui's Qingyue Sword, and Feng Han, who bought the yellow-level magic weapon.
When they bought the weapons, the two did not think that Ning Zhishui made them himself, but now... they are a little unsure.
"That's a bit outrageous... Can you refine a yellow-level magic weapon at the age of fourteen?"
"Could it be the Great Elder's?"
"No, if it was a gift from the Great Elder, she wouldn't just sell it off like that. Even if she did, she would definitely state it in advance, and the price would be higher."
Han Yulun and Feng Han looked at each other with blank eyes.
Then, the two of them looked towards the stage at the same time.
uncertain?
It doesn't matter.
Yes or no, you can see it with your own eyes soon!
"The materials are here. You need to refine a dagger."
The headmaster motioned the steward to come forward and distribute the eleven documents prepared in advance to each person.
There are twelve copies of the materials in total, and the two extra copies are just in case of accidents on site. Now that Ning Zhishui is here, they come in handy.
Just like the alchemy just now, the materials were distributed on the spot and the topic was also determined by the headmaster on the spot.
Due to limited time, it is impossible to refine anything complicated here, so the questions are all very simple.
However, even if the question is simple, with so many people starting at the same time, the difference in performance will be immediately apparent.
