Ning Zhishui naturally passed this level without any trouble, but her excellence was not particularly outstanding among these people.
Because she was not the only one who handed in a perfect answer sheet, and the first level was only used for screening, and the specific score did not affect the subsequent levels.
After passing the first level, the next test is to turn waste into treasure.
This level has a lot of luck involved, because the degree of "waste" each disciple gets is not the same.
Even though Ning Zhishui had bad luck, what she got was a piece of charred Shadowmoon Stone Armor.
Its raw material, Shadow Moon Stone, was ruined by some rookie. The temperature for refining it was not right. Moreover, after the refining failed, the other party did not stop in time, but continued to refine it...so it became what it is now.
After getting it, I really doubted what kind of rubbish it was, the kind that even rubbish would be considered ugly.
After the waste is distributed, the disciples need to go to the material area to select materials by themselves. They can take as much as they need, but they must use the materials they get. They cannot just take them and not use them.
After Ning Zhishui looked at the armor, he walked towards the material area. The materials here were piled up into a small hill, and many of them were pressed underneath, making them almost invisible.
But what is clear is that there are only so many materials, there are many types but the quantity is small. If you pick one away, there will be one less thing, and if someone else takes it away, you will have no use for it.
At this time, you need to determine as quickly as possible what materials you need, whether these materials are available here, and whether you can get them in time.
For others, the steps might be: first see what the waste is - what materials are needed to upgrade it - and then find the materials one by one in the pile.
For Ning Zhishui, it is: first see what the waste is - see what is in the pile - and which ones can be used.
So Ning Zhishui took a quick glance and picked out three materials from the pile. After taking them, she returned to her refining furnace without looking back.
Meanwhile, other disciples were sweating profusely as they rummaged through the pile of things.
"Oh my god, this pile is so tight, I can't find what I need."
"Where is the Tianxiangsha? Has anyone seen it?"
"It's over. I'm still missing the main material, Xuanyin Iron. If I can't find it, how can I improve it?"
"Who is that female disciple? Why did she just pick it up and leave?"
"Maybe he gave up."
Some people saw Ning Zhishui's actions and couldn't help but feel strange.
Because she was so different from others, while others were struggling to find what they wanted, she just came over, took the things and left.
No wonder some people think she has given up and is just playing around.
Ning Zhishui put down the selected materials, started the furnace, and looked at other people as if nothing had happened.
This level tests not only the ability to turn waste into treasure, but also reaction speed and knowledge.
There is more than one way to turn waste into treasure. The more you know about the properties of materials, the more options you have, which will make it easier for you to select materials.
When the temperature in the furnace reached a certain level, Ning Zhishui withdrew his gaze and began to busy himself with the work at hand.
She first threw the blackened armor into the furnace, and when the temperature came up, she threw a piece of Hanjiang iron into the furnace.
There was a crackling sound, and the armor began to crack.
A disciple who lived very close to Ning Zhishui had just returned from getting the materials. He was one of the luckier ones. Although he could only think of one improvement plan, he happened to find the materials he needed in time.
Just before returning to the furnace, he heard a crackling sound, so he turned his head to look and showed a sympathetic expression to Ning Zhishui -
Wow, it’s just the beginning and the waste has become even more wasteful!
The disciple took a look at the situation in the furnace and then made his own judgment -
What a mess!
Shadowmoon Stone is a relatively warm material, but Hanjiang Iron is an extremely cold substance. If you add Hanjiang Iron when the Shadowmoon Stone's temperature rises due to heating, how can the thing not crack?
Ning Zhishui didn't notice anyone's gaze, but just stared at the furnace motionless, waiting for the crackling sound to continue.
When the sound stopped, I saw many cracks on the armor.
Ning Zhishui put on heat-isolating gloves, took it out, and threw it on the ground.
With the sound of collision, the charred parts on the armor fell off piece by piece, revealing the jade-like color inside.
The disciple beside him had just opened the furnace. After seeing this scene, he was stunned, and then opened his eyes wide in astonishment.
He was shocked, and when he looked at Ning Zhishui again, his eyes had changed.
Ning Zhishui saw that the armor was finally no longer burnt, so he stopped bumping against it and turned to refine the other two materials.
About half an hour later, the armor in Ning Zhishui's hand changed. It was no longer the original charred black, nor was it the moon white that the Shadow Moon Stone should have. Instead, it turned into ice blue, faintly exuding a cold aura.
This level is the same as the first level. As long as you pass it, you pass it. Different scores will not be given based on each person's performance.
So Ning Zhishui acted very casually, just wanting a quick resolution.
While she was "muddling through", she had no idea that someone was secretly observing her.
"Ning Zhishui, is she the one?" Sect Leader Sheng Chaolin lowered his voice and asked Yu Zhan beside him.
Yu Zhan was holding a white feather fan in his hand, fanning it intermittently. He nodded after hearing this.
"How's your level?"
Sheng Chaolin asked curiously, "She's quite fast."
This is all he can see. As for the rest, it depends on Yu Zan, an insider.
Yu Zhan just snorted softly, "It's very rough."
Obviously, the armor could be beautified, but she didn't do it.
It is possible to pass through, but that is all, it only has the advantage of speed.
If you do it yourself, the effectiveness of this armor can be increased by at least 50%.
Sheng Chaolin laughed when he heard it, "That's it? I thought he was some genius, everyone praised him so much, huh, he's just like this."
He still believed in Yu Zhan's judgment. Although Yu Zhan was a bit showy, he was indeed qualified to judge others in terms of weapon refining.
"For his age, he can indeed be praised." Yu Zan said casually.
He was also curious about Ning Zhishui. She answered very well in the first round, which showed that she had solid basic skills.
This second level was completed smoothly, but it was still far from his expectations.
This made him lose interest, and he stopped looking at Ning Zhishui and turned his gaze to his niece.
Ni Zhuang is only eighteen years old this year, but she has grown into a graceful young lady. She wears a pink dress, a jade headdress, and has a face like a lotus.
Many male disciples sitting beside her looked at her from time to time.
