Lu Ming collected his thoughts, calmed down and mobilized all the knowledge stored in his brain. The five contestants all frowned and looked bitter, and one could imagine how difficult the competition was. The audience outside the venue also held their breath and observed the every move of the contestants.
Zhao Chencheng, the eldest son of the Zhao family, started to move first. After he fiddled with a few things for a while, several contestants also started to move. With only two hours left, this brainstorming session was bound to be intense.
Time passed by, and the audience watched the movements of several people through the small peepholes. One of them suddenly sneered and said, "The higher the level of the magic weapon, the higher the purity of the fire required. Could it be that the eldest young master of the He family has gone crazy? He doesn't use the platinum divine fire and instead uses ordinary molten fire to forge. I think he will be at the bottom of this weapon refining competition!"
"What do you know!" Another person could not help but retort loudly, "Pan Zihua is extremely fragile and can only be found in Nanzhao's Liuwu Mountain. Liuwu Mountain is filled with fog all year round and the humidity is extremely high. If you rashly use the platinum divine fire, it will quickly dry up and turn into ashes, so you can only use ordinary molten fire to deal with it. You don't even know such common sense, and you still come to embarrass yourself!"
The man immediately lost his temper and was about to draw his sword to fight the other man, but at this moment, he heard a few exclamations and gasps. Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the small mirror, where they saw that the "notorious" Sang Wusheng actually pressed the bell on the wooden table.
Pressing the bell means "submit your paper". Sang Wusheng actually made the magic weapon so quickly? Just one hour after the opening?
Should we say that he is arrogant or that he is amazing? His speed of "submitting papers" is simply unheard of since the inception of the equipment refining competition!
Taoist Ziyang was also a little surprised. He had also paid close attention to Sang Wusheng's previous competitions. Although he was capable, he was too impatient, and there was still a certain gap between him and He Qingci. But now that it was the finals, he was still so impatient, and he finished the finals question that he had been struggling with for many years in just one hour? !
But since the paper had been handed in, there was nothing that could be done. Taoist Zi Yang ordered his disciples to fetch the Qiankun bag, put the prepared magic weapon in it, and then invited Sang Wusheng to the rest area nearby.
Compared to He Qingci and Sang Huai, who looked calm and relaxed, Wang Yu and Zhao Chencheng seemed to have lost a lot of spiritual energy. Their faces were pale and they were sweating as they did the final finishing work. With a "ding dong" sound, the competition time was finally up.
The judges packed the magic weapons into Qiankun bags and handed them over to Taoist Ziyang for care. Taoist Ziyang and his disciples immediately set up a protective barrier for the new magic weapons, gathered together in a hurry, and began to select the winner of this weapon refining competition.
About an hour had passed, and people inside and outside the arena seemed to be unable to hold back. Wang Yu paced back and forth impatiently, making people dizzy. No wonder he was so anxious. Although he had privately "bribed" Taoist Ziyang, Taoist Ziyang had always been stubborn and unyielding. When he went to find him that day, he agreed so quickly, which was obviously unusual. I'm afraid that things will change by then, but he has already left a trick. Even if there are variables by then, he still has a way to win the first place in the weapon refining competition!
Everyone was unaware of his shady plan and was anxiously waiting for the result of the match. Another half hour passed, and Taoist Zi Yang finally removed the protective barrier and came to the crowd with several referees.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Taoist Zi Yang, not wanting to blink.
Taoist Ziyang looked exhausted, but his eyes were shining with excitement. He took a deep breath, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and announced loudly: "I declare that the champion of this weapon refining competition is He Qingci!"
Everyone was stunned for a few seconds before the crowd suddenly exploded! He Qingci! It was actually He Qingci! It seemed to be expected, yet unexpected!
When He Qingci heard his name, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, but his eyes couldn't help but drift to the person staring at him. Sang Wusheng had a smile on his face, and he looked at the other person with the same affection as always, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to be about to overflow.
He Qingci felt a little pain in his heart, but also somewhat relieved. When he got what he wanted, the first person he wanted to share it with was him.
In his previous life, he had achieved many successes in his field, but he always defined those things as lonely glory, because he did not find the person he wanted to share his joy with. In this life, although he found the person, he dared not approach him again. He was afraid that one day he would be stuck in the quagmire and would do anything for him. He was even more afraid that he would be burdened with a lifetime of sin and guilt, and would never see the light again.
Sang Wusheng came over with a slight smile and said, "Brother, congratulations."
Lu Ming was stunned and nodded slightly.
"Wait!" A gloomy voice suddenly sounded, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Wang Yu looking at He Qingci gloomily with an inexplicable expression.
Taoist Ziyang looked at him coldly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Yu snorted coldly and said, "How can you convince people with just your one-sided statement? He Qingci has not made many achievements in the cultivation world, but now he has won the championship as soon as he participated. If there is something behind this, it is not impossible for me to do it!"
Everyone was shocked. What Wang Yu said made sense. Although He Qingci had a good reputation in the cultivation world, so what? This weapon refining competition was essentially different from the previous ones, because the leader to deal with the demon world would also be selected this time. If they just gave up such great power, I'm afraid the major families would not agree.
However, apart from the Wang family, other families were relieved that He Qingci won the title of weapon master. The Wang family had suppressed the other families to such an extent that they could not raise their heads. If they were allowed to win the title, the power would gradually develop in a balanced direction, and the Wang family would not be the only one in power.
Although Sang Huai was dissatisfied, his goal was to bring down Sang Wusheng. Now that He Qingci had won first place, he did not jump out to refute from the perspective of his family's interests.
Taoist Ziyang sneered, "I have been responsible for this important task for hundreds of years, but this is the first time that someone like the Wang family has questioned the results of the selection. They are not as skilled as others, but they are biting back. I think the Wang family is getting worse with each generation!"
Wang Yu was so angry that he said angrily: "I think you are selfish and did it on purpose!"
Taoist Ziyang laughed, and looked at Wang Yu with an increasingly cold gaze. He said in a cold voice: "If that's the case, why not take a look?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Zi Yang suddenly recited a few incantations silently, and a magic weapon immediately flew out of his Qiankun bag.
The magic weapon floated in the air, emitting a faint dark purple glow.
Taoist Zi Yang's eyes were filled with excitement. He injected a few strands of spiritual energy into the magic weapon and then said, "This magic weapon was made by Young Master He."
Everyone immediately looked carefully. Under the nourishment of spiritual energy, the dark purple luster of the magic weapon gradually turned into golden, and finally became a series of transparent rays of light. The light expanded and expanded, and finally formed a huge light shield, covering everyone in it.
The Taoist then injected a bit of spiritual energy into it, and then shouted: "Turn!" With a loud whoosh sound, all the people covered by the light disappeared out of thin air!
Everyone stared at the shocking scene in front of them in stunned silence. The entire hall was silent, and everyone just stared at the empty space in a daze.
"This, this...what is this?!" Someone finally reacted and stammered.
Taoist Ziyang sighed softly, looked at Luming and said: "Let the owner of this magic weapon explain it."
Lu Ming glanced at Taoist Zi Yang and explained, "This thing can instantly move everything covered by the white light, whether it is a living thing or a dead thing. It's just that the competition time was too short and it couldn't be improved, so it can only move a distance of up to ten miles."
Everyone present was shocked by these words. What kind of concept is this? The legendary magic weapon that was only recorded in books and carried everyone's beautiful dreams has actually been made!
Ten miles is already very powerful, okay! This is hundreds of times more powerful than the substitute spell during the escape, and it can transfer so many people at once. It is definitely a magical tool! In addition, although the materials are precious, they are not impossible to find. They have a hunch that if this kind of magic tool is circulated in the world, it will probably set off a huge wave, and the world of cultivation will probably really enter a new state.
This He Qingci is simply a rare treasure! He is the only one who knows the refining method now. If we don’t try to please him and give him the title of Master Refiner, when will we wait? !
All the objections present immediately died down. No one had ever been so eager for someone else to win the title of Master Weapon Refiner!
Wang Yu knew that it was useless to resist any further. This gap made him feel deeply powerless. However, his goal was not to be a master of weapon refining, but to be the leader of the family. He would never give up on this!
Wang Yu said coldly: "Young Master He is extremely talented, and we have to admit it. However, Young Master He has not yet obtained the He Family Elder Seal, nor is he qualified to inherit the He Mansion and become the head of the He Family. In this case, how can he lead the major families to fight against the demon world? I can give you the title of weapon master, but I can't give you the position of team leader."
Taoist Ziyang said coldly: "It was you who proposed that the weapon master be the leader to lead the families to resist the demons. Now you have gone back on your words. Are you playing tricks on us, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Yu snorted coldly: "He Qingci is not qualified to inherit the He family and become the patriarch. I dare not easily hand over the future of the entire cultivation world to others! I don't agree with this!"
Wang Yu's plan was as planned. While the He family was in disarray and the elders were too busy, he and the other families used tricks to quietly assassinate two elders of the He family. The remaining elders were all imprisoned in a secret place. Under the torture of living a life worse than death every day, several people died one after another. In the end, all the families were completely relieved. Now that there is no elder in the He family to give He Qingci the elder seal, he can no longer be the patriarch in a legitimate way.
It was like one thing after another, and everyone present began to whisper. Some people felt that what Wang Yu said was right. He Qingci was young, and even if he had a high level of attainment in refining weapons, it would not be of much benefit if he led the team. If the He family was guarded by the family elders, it would be fine, but now the He family has a lot of work to do, how can they lead the team to resist the invasion of the demons. But some people felt that He Qingci had a very good reputation in the cultivation world, and now he was awarded the title of weapon refining master. He was the most outstanding and capable one among the new generation of disciples. They were also very relieved to have him lead the team, which was much better than the Wang family dominating and bullying the major families.
The debate continued for a long time, and then suddenly an old voice came. The voice was loud and powerful, and it was obvious that he used spiritual energy to transmit the sound.
“Who said that the He family has no elders who can be given the elder seal?”
