The weapon refining conference begins, the first confrontation with Tang Biao

Qin Ruqing was hung up on the phone, but he was not annoyed at all, because he got a piece of intelligence.

There is a ground fire pool in the small floating space? Basically, what level of spiritual fire seeds can be refined? It’s a bit unclear, does this level include sky fire seeds?

Qin Ruqing wanted to call back to ask for clarification, but he also knew that this would be too much, so he held himself back and planned to ask the director again when he had the chance.

The next day, Qin Ruqing touched Tang Zifeng. He seemed to be polishing something, his wrist was held accurately, and his slender fingers moved accurately and powerfully. Unlike his reserved temperament, this person’s style when refining weapons is very strong.

Qin Ruqing held up his chin and looked for a while, then suddenly said, "Hey, Tang Zifeng, do you know about Thunder Spirit Fire and Light Spirit Dust?"

The carving knife in Tang Zifeng's hand stabbed and slid forward, leaving a deep cut on the rough material in his hand.

Qin Ruqing exclaimed, looked at the man motionless, and reminded: "Tang Zifeng, yours seems to be damaged."

Tang Zifeng's eyes fell on the scratch, and then looked away as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't care, "Thunder Spirit Fire Seeds and Light Spirit Dust? Why are you asking this?"

"Recently, I was free and flipped through these two materials in the weapon refining book. They seemed very powerful. I wondered if I could use them in my natal spirit weapon. If you think they are useful, I will find a way to get them for you!"

Tang Zifeng saw that Qin Ruqing was so excited, as if as long as he said it was useful, she would get these two things immediately. He could not help but look at her helplessly and said softly: "Where did you read the book on refining instruments? I think it is not professional enough. I told you about these two refining instruments materials, but I didn't tell you how rare they are?"

Oh, it sounds very precious.

Qin Ruqing nodded up and down: "Please tell me more."

Tell me more... Tang Zifeng shook his head with a smile and really told her more.

"The Thunder Spirit Fire is a kind of flint with very violent properties. It is generally used to make large-scale lethal weapons that can produce explosive damage." After thinking for a while, he reminded, "If you can really come across the Thunder Spirit Fire one day, you must be careful when handling it. Once this thing is hit by a strong impact, it will explode."

Qin Ruqing didn't pay attention to "careful" at all, but automatically fell in front, "explosive damage", "large-scale lethal weapons",

this, this, this... Isn't this exactly what she wants!

Qin Ruqing's head was straight, and she became more and more excited: "What about the light spirit dust?"

This smile like a little mouse stealing sesame oil really made Tang Zifeng confused. Isn't what he just said a very normal thing? Why is she so happy?

Tang Zifeng still patiently explained: "Light Spirit Dust... is a kind of feather powder on the wings of high-level bird-like monsters. It is usually added as a rare auxiliary material to refine flying spiritual weapons. Flying spiritual weapons with Light Spirit Dust added are at least ten times faster than ordinary spiritual weapons."

Seeing Qin Ruqing's eyes widened, it was obvious that she wanted to exclaim, and it was obvious that this Light Spirit Dust touched her heart, but...

"Don't even think about it. It's not easy to get the Qingling Dust. It's hard to see a high-level bird-like monster flying thousands of miles in the sky, let alone the feather powder on its wings."

Seeing Qin Ruqing's silence, he thought she was disappointed. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't worry, I have been keeping an eye on your life weapon for you. Now I have a similar idea. These two materials for refining are hard to find, but I will help you find a substitute with similar effects. The final effect should not be much different..."

Use a substitute? Am I the kind of person who uses a substitute?

Qin Ruqing slammed the table and stood up, her eyes sparkling, she raised her lips and said: "Okay, okay! Very good!"

Tang Zifeng thought she agreed, but the next second she said: "I want the first two! I will start looking when we go to the small floating space. Now I ask you to help me think about how to use these two top-grade materials to create spiritual weapons!"

"Please, Xiao Tang!" A hand patted his shoulder.

Tang Zifeng was helpless, but looking at Qin Ruqing's expectant eyes, he did not refute.

When she knows how difficult it is to find these two materials, she will naturally give up her attention. Now, why let her down.

Qin Ruqing was in a good mood, and she felt that everything she got from the ten consecutive draws made her satisfied. When she is in a good mood, she will naturally have the leisure to focus on other things.

Qin Ruqing watched Tang Zifeng pick up the previously destroyed material embryo again. He didn't know what method he used, but the marks on the embryo gradually disappeared. He was amazed. He remembered that he seemed to have been refining tools these days, and his hands never stopped. He couldn't help but ask: "Tang Zifeng, you seem to be very busy recently. What are you refining?"

Tang Zifeng said concisely: "Spiritual tools, preparing for the weapon refining competition."

Oh, Qin Ruqing nodded in understanding, forgetting about this. The weapon refining competition is coming soon, and it is normal for Xiao Tang to take advantage of this time to improve his skills.

"Have you decided what spiritual tool you want to refine for the competition?"

Tang Zifeng stopped moving, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He seems to be like this a lot recently, and he has to stay still for a while from time to time. Fortunately, when he is distracted, he does not interfere with the work at hand, so it is not easy for others to notice.

Qin Ruqing waved his hand in front of his eyes, and he came back to his senses and lowered his eyes, "I already have an idea."

Qin Ruqing did not doubt it and felt relieved.

After these days of warm-up preparations, the highly anticipated weapon refining conference finally entered the registration period, which lasts for three days. During these three days, everyone has to go to an institution under the Xianpin Bureau to register, and the Xianpin Bureau will review the eligibility to participate in the competition.

Hearing that Tang Zifeng was going to participate in the competition, the Yang family volunteered to step forward and planned to take them to register. After all, Qin Ruqing and the others came from outside, so they naturally didn't know much about the competition process.

The Yang family has been very proud recently. The Qin family, who cooperated with them, became the official cooperative family of the Xianpin Bureau. Naturally, the Yang family took advantage of this opportunity and their reputation has soared. After all, the previous Vitality Pills and Cultivation Accelerators were all sold by their family.

Even if the prices of Vitality Pills and Cultivation Accelerators are now regulated by the Xianpin Bureau, and the Xianpin Bureau has to take a part of the sales rights, their Yang family is still the only family that can be connected with the Qin family except the Xianpin Bureau.

He heard that the Tang family came to the door two days ago but didn't even see the young lady.

Very good, seeing the Tang family suffer, Yang Wenxu felt comfortable. As a silver family that was once squeezed out, it is natural that they are very unhappy with the current silver family of the Tang family.

As a result, Yang Wenxu became more attentive to Qin Ruqing. While leading the way, he introduced Qin Ruqing and his party to various weapon refining conferences in Xiling.

"Let's not talk about other things in Xiling. Let's just talk about the various weapon refining competitions. They are held once or twice every month or even a year. The winners of the competition will be greatly sought after by the people of Xiling. Those weapon refining geniuses who have won several consecutive years will be treated like stars surrounded by the moon."

Qin Ruqing understood immediately. This is similar to chasing stars. The "stars" that the people of Xiling are chasing are probably those who get high rankings in the weapon refining competition. After all, most people in the world of immortal cultivation are weak. Xiling advocates weapon and body training. Those winners are the strong in their eyes.

"So which weapon refining master is the most famous in the current city?" Qi Rong asked curiously.

Yang Wenxu curled his lips for some reason, "There are many famous weapon refining masters in Xiling, but if you want to say who is the most famous at the moment... it's probably Tang Biao, the second master of the Tang family."

He said the name reluctantly because it was the truth and he couldn't lie to the Qin family. But Yang Wenxu soon began to express his own opinions.

"However, from what I see, Tang Biao's weapon refining level is quite unstable. Occasionally he has amazing designs, but they are like a flash in the pan. The only thing that can be called a work of genius is the spiritual weapon he entered in a previous weapon refining conference. He won the first place in that weapon refining conference with this. But later, it was as if Jiang Lang had run out of talent, and he could no longer create a spiritual weapon that could compare with it."

Yang Wenxu said with a slight smile . He smacked his lips in a complicated way, "Maybe this is how weapon refiners are. They have a flash of inspiration occasionally. As long as they can grasp it and forge a design that can astonish everyone, they can make a living from it. It's

not the same for us physical cultivators. We have to endure hardships day after day. If we slack off a little, our skin and flesh will become loose, and we will be overtaken by the later generations and become like ordinary people." Qi Rong, who is also a physical cultivator, listened and nodded with empathy.

Qin Ruqing was curious about this so-called astonishing design, "What kind of spiritual weapon can make Tang Biao live on it for a lifetime." When

Yang Wenxu mentioned this, there was surprise in his eyes. He might not like Tang Biao, but he was convinced by the spiritual weapon he made.

He whispered, "It is said that he has created a weapon with extremely high lethality. If used properly, it can cause harm to Jindan-stage cultivators!"

Frog!

Qin Ruqing and the others were all shocked. A spiritual weapon that can cause harm to Jindan-stage cultivators?

What does this mean? A family with a Jindan-stage ancestor can basically become a silver-grade family. In other words, this thing can cause harm to the ancestor of a silver-grade family? !

To put it another way, if a cultivator who has completed the foundation building stage holds this spiritual weapon, does it mean that he can fight against a Jindan-stage cultivator?

How difficult it is for a cultivator to form a pill. Take their Qin family for example. They have three foundation building stages, and Qin Ruqing is now still worried about the Xuanxin Liquid for the ancestor to form a pill. Now that we have this spiritual weapon, doesn't it mean that the clan can have an extra top-level fighter who is close to the Jindan stage?

Even Lu Wei couldn't help but sigh: "If that's true, this design is indeed amazing, no wonder Tang Biao is so famous in the city."

Yang Wenxu shook his head: "The spiritual weapon that won Tang Biao the first place in the weapon refining conference was just a conceptual design. It was just a general design, but the effect was half-baked. Now it can only barely damage the upper level of the foundation. He didn't have any breakthrough works afterwards, but his fame lasted for so long, because everyone still had expectations for him, hoping that he could perfect the spiritual weapon and really make something on the conceptual drawing!"

It turned out that the spiritual weapon had not been actually made yet!

Qin Ruqing was surprised for a moment, but nodded in understanding. If a spiritual weapon that could directly hurt a Jindan stage was really made, it would be a bit exaggerated. Therefore, even if the effect of the spiritual weapon made by Tang Biao was halved, everyone was still willing to wait for him.

For some reason, Qin Ruqing glanced at Tang Zifeng next to him and saw that he had a cold face. Although he always had a blank expression, Qin Ruqing felt that his face seemed more tense today.

His eyes quickly reflected a trace of emotion, but he remained calm and turned to talk and laugh with Yang Wenxu and the others.

While talking, they had already arrived at the registration place. This is the organization under the Xianpin Bureau that specializes in refining instruments. It is now surrounded by crowds of people.

Most of the Xiling instrument refiners, as well as some instrument masters invited from foreign lands by the Xianpin Bureau, are probably here now.

Qin Ruqing looked around and felt that the style of the instrument refiners was a bit like that of science and engineering students. They were wearing gray and fluffy robes, had messy hair, and looked a bit irritable because the two instrument refiners in front of them had a fight because of a disagreement over the order of registration.

It was not a physical fight, but a fight with their respective spiritual weapons. The light emitted by the spiritual weapons occasionally passed through the air, in midair, and on the ground, and cut through the robes of some weapon refiners. They didn't care at all. They took out a new set from the storage ring and put it on. They continued to quarrel and fight.

Qin Ruqing felt that the purpose of these weapon refiners here today was not to sign up, but to come and fight with their peers impatiently.

There were too many people. Qin Ruqing was only concerned about looking at others and didn't pay attention to avoiding them. She was squeezed to the side. Seeing this, Tang Zifeng frowned and supported her, "There are too many people. Watch the road."

Yang Wenxu also noticed the movement. Relying on his physical cultivation and tall and strong body, he took the lead to clear the way. Qirong felt that he should also protect his sisters, so he followed Yang Wenxu and pushed through the crowd.

Lu Wei took Qin Ruqing's hand and said softly, "Xiaowu, hold on tight, don't lose me!"

Seeing this, Tang Zifeng walked silently behind them, maintaining a protective posture.

Halfway through the walk, they were almost entering the hall when suddenly a clear female voice came from behind, "Everyone, get out of my way!"

Qin Ruqing hadn't seen who the person was yet, but these weapon refiners who had just been fighting for position actually made way for her.

Qin Ruqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall and thin female cultivator in red, wearing the standard Xiling hot thigh-revealing outfit, the only difference was that she was wearing a lot of matching jewelry. She had three or four bracelets on each hand, a necklace around her neck, and anklets on her slender ankles.

All the jewelry was golden, and looked very glittering, but strangely, it didn't make the female cultivator look vulgar at all, but rather she looked dazzling, which matched the outfit perfectly.

Qin Ruqing stared at the face of the female cultivator, and remembered the "auntie" she had called before. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she shook her third sister's arm vigorously, "Third sister, it's the hot female cultivator who spit dust all over us when we first came to Xiling!"

"She's so glittering~"

Tang Zifeng couldn't help but look at Qin Ruqing. A female cultivator is a female cultivator, why do she have so many weird adjectives when she says that.

Lu Wei's eyes lit up as she stared at the female cultivator's jewelry and nodded vigorously, saying, "She is very suitable for this kind of dress!"

Yang Wenxu saw that the two young ladies had misunderstood and could not help but step forward to explain, "Young ladies, that is not jewelry, it is a spiritual tool with decorative properties!"

Qin Ruqing uttered a "huh" and looked at the more professional Tang Zifeng. Tang Zifeng nodded silently and said in a calm voice: "She is wearing spiritual weapons from head to toe. She is a real weapon refiner, and she is very flamboyant and confident."

Yang Wenxu also nodded, "It is said that there is an unwritten rule among weapon refiners that if the spiritual weapons they refine are not presentable, they cannot be carried openly on their bodies. Therefore, anyone with A weapon refiner has many spiritual weapons hanging on her body. She is either a big idiot who flaunts herself, or a genius weapon refiner who is not easy to mess with! No matter which one it is, you have to avoid her when you see her."

Qi Rong was puzzled, "If she is a genius weapon refiner, you can avoid her, but if she is a pustule, why should you avoid her?"

Qin Ruqing raised the corner of his mouth and smoothly said, "Because I don't associate with fools!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Wei and Tang Zifeng all laughed.

Qin Ruqing's eyes were still glued to the beautiful sister, "That sister must be the latter."

Yang Wenxu confirmed Qin Ruqing's guess, "She is the only daughter of the Lin clan leader, Lin Yijun. She was also born in a family of weapon refiners. She has been famous for her talent since she was a child. Now her reputation in Xiling City is only slightly less than Tang Biao."

It turned out to be the daughter of the Lin family. Qin Ruqing had an impression of this Lin family, a dark horse family that rose in Xiling. The family was also a three-foundation family, very powerful.

After this little episode, Qin Ruqing entered smoothly. With two physical cultivators leading the way, Qin Ruqing and his friends quickly walked into the registration hall.

A staff member who was probably similar to the executive officer of the Xianpin Bureau glanced at them and said, "Who of you wants to participate?"

Qin Ruqing pointed at Tang Zifeng, who was wearing a black robe.

Tang Zifeng stepped forward, and the executive officer began to review Tang Zifeng's eligibility to participate in the competition.

Name, age, and so on were all easy to deal with. When filling in the family line, Tang Zifeng paused and actually filled in "Qin". Qin Ruqing, who was standing next to him, crossed his arms and looked at him, and raised his eyebrows subtly.

Tang Zifeng seemed to know what they were thinking, and explained: "Since I am no longer in that family, and I am a guest elder of the Qin family, it is no problem for me to represent the Qin family in the competition."

Qin Ruqing smiled and nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with Tang Zifeng's words.

When the executive saw the word Qin, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. When he was about to put it aside, he would definitely review this family, because there was no Qin family in Xiling, and this was obviously from the outside world.

But recently, the surname Qin has become very popular in Xiling. Now, who in the streets and alleys of Xiling doesn't know that they have a new official cooperative family in Xiling, that is the Qin family!

Qin Ruqing saw the executive officer Carton and asked, "Do you want an identity review?" He wanted to get an identity card, not the two heavyweight ones before, but an ordinary seal engraved with the Qin family emblem.

As a result, the executive officer actually shook his head, and when he saw Qin Ruqing, his attitude was very respectful, as if he recognized her, "Who in the Xianpin Bureau doesn't know Elder Qin? Since you are here, why do you need to add that procedure!" He said and passed the review.

Qin Ruqing was happy, it turned out that she could use her face in the Xianpin Bureau now.

The review came to the last and most important item, the qualification certification of the participating weapon refiners. Obviously, this kind of competition has requirements for the level of weapon refiners.

"You need to fill in one or two representative works. Our Xianpin Bureau will review these representative works and judge whether they are qualified to participate in the competition."

Tang Zifeng hesitated for some reason. Qin Ruqing looked at him encouragingly. He pursed his lips and wrote on the line of representative works: Refining Accelerator.

The executive officer saw it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "So the Refining Accelerator was made by you!"

This sound was neither loud nor soft, but it successfully attracted the attention of the weapon refiners queuing behind.

Refining Accelerator is related to the foundation of the cultivation of Xiling monks. How could there be monks who don't care about it. When the accelerator was sold by the Yang family, they were guessing which weapon refiner had made such an amazing design. He must be a famous master. Later, they heard from the Xianpin Bureau that it was made by a guest elder of the Qin family, an official cooperative family.

But they didn't believe it. They had also checked the Qin family and knew that it was a well-known family of elixirs. But when it comes to weapon refinement, they are confident that there are basically few people outside whose level is higher than that of the Xiling weapon refiner.

There are many speculations about the mysterious weapon refiner, but they didn't expect to see him in person today. They

couldn't help but cast their eyes on Qin Ruqing's team. The man in the black robe must be the mysterious weapon refiner. Not to mention, he looks like a master.

The onlookers nodded secretly. Obviously, there was a reason why Xiao Tang liked to dress like this, and the weapon masters fell for it.

Qin Ruqing had seen all kinds of looks, and he was extremely calm. He said to the surprised executive, "The information has been filled out. It will take time for you to review the results. Can we go first?"

The executive came to his senses, nodded repeatedly, and even took a few steps forward, "Elder Qin, take care." He

thought that today's matter would come to an end, and there should be no problem with passing the qualification review. He just had to wait for the invitation letter to participate in the competition.

As a result, when Qin Ruqing and his friends squeezed out of the crowd and wanted to go back to the fifth guest inn, they were intercepted halfway.

The leader bowed slightly, "Elder Qin, I'm glad to see you." He had a delicate and feminine appearance, which looked a bit abrupt in Xiling where all the cultivators were plus-edged.

Qin Ruqing felt that this person looked familiar, but Tang Zifeng's expression under the black robe changed suddenly, and the fists on the sides of his legs clenched unconsciously.

Yang Wenxu, who followed them back, saw the person coming, raised his eyebrows, and almost couldn't help but hum from his nose. The person

who came was none other than the genius weapon refiner of the Tang family, Tang Biao.

Seeing that Qin Ruqing didn't recognize him, Yang Wenxu introduced him to her, "This is the famous weapon refiner of our Xiling, the second master of the Tang family." He emphasized the word famous.

Qin Ruqing instantly realized who this person was. Tang Biao, the genius weapon refiner who was a flash in the pan and created an amazing spiritual weapon, began to live off his past achievements and no longer produced any amazing works.

The reason why she felt familiar with him was because she had seen him at the previous family meeting.

Qin Ruqing smiled and returned the gift. This time she did not act like a junior, but returned the gift in a down-to-earth manner, "Second Master is polite."

Before, her identity was not announced, so she had to act like a junior when dealing with people, which was polite, because she was not old.

But now, the Xianpin Bureau has announced that the official cooperative family is her Qin family, and she is the representative of the Qin family in Xiling. As an elder with an identity card, she can naturally be on an equal footing with the second master of the Tang family. Even if it is just from the standard of the aristocratic family, her status is slightly higher.

Tang Biao first smiled and said to Qin Ruqing: "I sent someone to visit the Fifth Guest Inn earlier and learned that Elder Qin was not here. I was very sorry!"

Qin Ruqing let out a long sigh, and then said with regret: "Is this true? The people from the Fifth Guest Inn didn't tell me later, so the Tang family came for nothing. It's my fault."

The first sentence he said when he met us was to mention the previous failed visit. Isn't this secretly blaming us for not giving him face? Even if you really want to mention it, you have to mention it slowly.

Qin Ruqing didn't like this family because of Xiao Tang's matter, and now he is even more unhappy.

You want to be weird to me, what a coincidence, I am an expert at it.

After Qin Ruqing sighed, he looked at Tang Biao sincerely and said: "How about this, if the second master sends someone next time, please notify us in advance, and we will definitely wait at the guest inn all day and welcome you!"

Tang Biao's smile froze slightly. It was fine that the previous visit failed, but according to her, we have to visit again? Do they think their Tang family is an idle family?

After the family meeting, they sent people to investigate the Qin family and found out that they were just an intermediate family. Although they were quite prosperous in Nanling, and it was rumored that they had already stepped half a foot into the silver grade, they were incomparable to a formal silver grade family like them.

Where did this rude young man get the confidence to be so arrogant in front of him!

But Tang Biao held back his anger in the end, because he did have that confidence. No matter what, the Qin family now has the support of the Immortal Grade Bureau, and the monks in Xiling still have to rely on their family's elixirs.

How many noble families are now thinking about establishing a relationship with the Qin family? Why should they ruin everything just because of a tactless young man?

Tang Biao used all his endurance to force a smile and said, "Next time for sure!"

Qin Ruqing: "Haha, okay, for sure!"

After a few pleasantries, Qin Ruqing also realized that this famous genius weapon refiner of the Tang family seemed to be extremely arrogant. He seemed to be used to being admired by others and emphasized things like status.

For example, among the people present, only she, the elder of the Qin family, was worthy of his attention. As for Qirong and the others, he just glanced at them. When he saw Yang Wenxu, it was like seeing an annoying fly. He didn't even

say hello. Fortunately, Yang Wenxu saw that he was also annoyed, so he snorted and wiped his face. Out of sight, out of mind. After
