Ye Xiao quickly refined the pig iron into a super-extraordinary weapon.

Just pass the assessment and there's no need to attract too much attention.

Wait until the real competition begins, and then show some of your real strength.

Other than that, there's nothing to worry about.

Soon, Ye Xiao received the certificate of passing the assessment.

He used a fake identity. Anyway, he had Taixuan Tiangang, so he could just modify the examiner's memory and everything would be settled.

After obtaining the entry certificate, you have to wait until the next day before you can enter the examination room to officially participate.

The competition mechanism is a one-round system, with the winner determined by one game. There are no such things as several rounds of auditions, several rounds of competitions, layers of selection, and finally competing for the championship.

All contestants must enter the examination room at the same time and refine a weapon or armor. Finally, a panel of judges composed of nationally renowned weapon refiners will judge and score them.

The organizing team will provide the materials for refining equipment, or you can bring your own.

It is mainly to take care of those refiners who are more specialized in certain aspects of refinement.

Because even if an equipment refiner is only good at one subject, as long as he can reach a certain level in the subject he is good at, he is still an extremely outstanding talent. We cannot fix his performance because of the rigid rules of the competition, causing Jiuzhou to miss out on talents!

Of course, the organizing team does not have to worry, because some people bring expensive and rare refining materials, which leads to better refining and unfair competition.

Because when it comes to refining equipment, the more precious the material, the higher the test of technical skills.

If a refiner does not have good refinement skills, the products he refines using high-end materials will be worse than those refined using low-end materials.

The materials chosen by the organizing team are just at a certain level.

This kind of material, if it is a little higher, will be more difficult to refine. If it is a little lower, the quality of the material will affect the overall level of the refined weapons or armor.

Therefore, very few equipment refiners would bring their own materials.

The results of the equipment refining competition are evaluated based on the refining results and refining time.

If you bring your own materials, points will be added or subtracted based on the quality of the materials.

As for the rewards, the top 1,000 in the weapon refining competition will receive rewards.

The main reason is that there are so many people participating in the competition.

Because the population of Jiuzhou is so large, even if the number of people like weapon refiners and alchemists is small, the total number is still quite terrifying.

Therefore, the number of participants is at least over ten thousand every year.

This is still based on the age limit, otherwise, the number of participants would probably be even greater.

Competition rewards are distributed according to ranking.

Ye Xiao was only interested in the prizes for the top few places.

The prizes for the top few winners are a star core of the Divine Sect’s top star beast, a pair of sharp claws of the Divine Sect’s top star beast, three pounds of rare starry metal purple steel, a piece of special material blood wood, and a piece of space amethyst.

As for Ye Xiao, he is not very interested in the rules of the competition and he will just refine them when the time comes.

He is still very confident in his equipment refining skills.

In terms of combat strength, he is only at the eighth level of innateness, which is indeed not good enough.

But in terms of weapon refining level, there shouldn't be many people in this world who can easily refine an imperial weapon, right? What he didn't expect was that the space amethyst was only the reward for the fifth place.

If you think about it carefully, although space material is a very good and top-grade material, it is not so easy to refine it well.

That just requires a sufficient level of equipment refining.

There is a certain age limit for participants, they must be under 30 years old.

How many weapon refiners under the age of thirty have very high skills? Unless they are not human! Therefore, the space amethyst is not that important.

This is just perfect. For Ye Xiao, the test becomes much easier.

Ye Xiao has already decided that when the time comes, he will refine a top-grade weapon or something like that and then take away the space amethyst.

Anyway, he ranked high enough in the competition, so it’s okay as long as he didn’t steal other people’s things.

He just doesn't want to be exposed to the public and be the center of attention.

Arriving at a deserted grove on the outskirts of Shanghai City, Ye Xiao began to deal with several Divine Sect-level star beasts that he had captured.

They have not been resurrected yet. Ye Xiao just sealed their souls in his body. He will resurrect them after returning to Jianghai City and then start their raising mode.

Now, Ye Xiao plans to dig out their star beads first, and use Taixuan Tiangang to analyze their imperial techniques, so as to obtain the imperial techniques he needs.

Including Ji Feng, there are a total of five star beasts.

There was a chicken, a fish, a giant turtle, a deer, and a ginseng.

They are all Ye Xiao’s favorite foods.

Foods like turtle, deer and ginseng are very nutritious.

Although Ye Xiao no longer needs to make up for it.

But this thing is much better than nothing!

Besides, their tonic effect is just an additional benefit. Their real beneficial effect is to improve cultivation and blood energy, which is much stronger than the other types.

However, after Ye Xiao analyzed it through Taixuan Tiangang, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Because there are only two imperial arts among these star beads.

One is the earth escape technique, which was extracted from the star core of the ginseng star beast, the Earth Immortal.

But in the future it can be combined with the Divine Will Technique and an imperial technique.

This is considered a big profit, not a loss.

Ye Xiao immediately imprinted it into his Golden Book Soul and let the Golden Book Soul begin to practice.

The other imperial skill is a bit annoying, it is a healing skill. As for the healing skill, Ye Xiao already has three imperial skills, namely the Sky-Repairing Technique, the Star Technique and the Extreme Healing Technique.

This healing technique is of the same basic type as the Sky-Repairing Technique.

So it is a bit regrettable that it cannot be recorded into Ye Xiao’s golden book of soul.

It’s a pity, but if God doesn’t give it to him, Ye Xiao can do nothing about it.

As for the other three star beasts, since they only have sub-dragon level bloodlines and have not yet reached dragon level bloodlines, there is no imperial art in their three star cores.

Ji Feng had just formed dragon-level bloodline, and the imperial art had not yet begun to form in the star core.

They might be practicing some imperial arts, but that would require forcibly breaking open the soul, which would be a little troublesome for Ye Xiao with his current spiritual cultivation level.

Ye Xiao planned to wait until his cultivation level was improved to the point where he could pin them to the ground anytime and anywhere, making them unable to resist, and then search their souls.

This is also the purpose of raising them.

Ye Xiao also expressed his understanding of this. After all, it was impossible for a star beast of the Divine Sect level to come casually. Even if it had dragon-level blood, that dragon-level blood would be too worthless.

For most star beasts to cultivate to the level of a divine master, it is only 99% of sweat and 1% of chance.

This is also the reason why Ye Xiao wanted to cultivate Huan Liuli. A cub with dragon-level bloodline is indeed very difficult to find.

However, Ye Xiao also found a claw technique, a fist technique, and a leg technique in the star cores of Ji Feng and other three star beasts.

They are all basic skills, but it is better to have them than nothing.

Ye Xiao absorbed all these skills into Jin Shu's soul and let Jin Shu start practicing.

Because they were three basic skills, the Golden Book Spirit was cultivated very quickly.

Among them, after practicing the boxing technique, a faint golden light that flickered from time to time began to flash, which meant that the boxing technique was about to be synthesized.

By then, he could synthesize another imperial technique.

It seems that I have gained a lot from this trip.

It was the right decision to ask for leave this time.

One imperial technique, three basic skills, five divine-level star beasts, and a piece of space amethyst tomorrow.

The profit from pickling is quite considerable.

Delicious.

On the other side, in the most luxurious yacht hotel on the Shanghai River, two men were having dinner.

One middle-aged and one young.

Both of them were dressed extremely elegantly, very beautifully, and very expensively.

The middle-aged man spoke first.

"Qiu Feng, you are the most proud disciple that I have received over the years. At the age of only 27, you have reached the level of a high-level weapon refiner. This really makes me happy.

But tomorrow is the moment when you will truly make your teacher proud."

Qiu Feng looked indifferent. He cut a piece of steak from the plate in front of him, put it in his mouth, and responded while tasting it:

"Teacher, don't worry. Qiu Feng has been blessed with your teachings over the years. No matter what, he will definitely win the first place in this competition and bring honor to you."

The middle-aged man nodded and said with some emotion:

“Back then, I, the teacher, also participated in this competition. Although I also won the first place, it was because another weapon-refining professor in Jiuzhou reached the age of 30 and could no longer continue to participate in the competition.

Therefore, this is the teacher's lifelong regret.

Now that your teacher has trained you, you can at least participate in two more Kyushu competitions. This is your chance, and it is also the best opportunity in your life to become famous in Kyushu."

Qiu Feng's eyes moved slightly.

"The teacher is talking about Professor Zhang Guangyang, the weapon master of Huzhou Martial Arts Academy, who was known as the inheritor of Jiuzhou weapon refining?"

"Yes, it's him!"

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly became sharp after hearing his name.

“Back then, I was defeated by him in every way. I was suppressed by him for four whole years. I was the perennial runner-up for four years. It was only after he left that I finally won the first place.

But as a teacher, I know that I did not win.

If he were still here, I would still lose.

I heard that this time, his apprentice will also come to participate in the competition, and he is an unparalleled genius who should not be underestimated!

If things go as expected, the champion will be chosen from between the two of you!"

Seven updates, twenty-one thousand.

Thanks to my book friend Yang Xingqi Biluo for the reward, thank you very much.
