Chapter 58: The Spirit of the Artifact?
His voice suddenly rang out, and everyone looked at him, then began to whisper among themselves.
Su Yuyuan angrily said, "His magic weapon is also of superior quality, and that kid from Peach Blossom Valley clearly took longer than me. How can he be ranked above me?!"
Feng Shen, who was in a hurry to leave, said helplessly upon hearing his questioning, "Indeed, I should explain. In addition to grade, there is another crucial factor in judging the quality of magical artifacts. How could you, as an artifact cultivator, not know this?"
Su Yuyuan looked bewildered. "What?"
"When refining magical artifacts or treasures, if the essence of a demon beast is added during the refining process, a spirit will be generated once the refining is successful, making the artifact several times more powerful than a magical artifact of the same grade."
"A spirit artifact? How is that possible!" Su Yuyuan looked incredulous. Even the elders in the sect had difficulty forging magical artifacts with spirit artifacts.
How could he!
Feng Shen didn't want to say anything more to him. He held the Qingxue Sword he had forged in his left hand and the Huoyun Blade forged by Feng Yue in his right hand. He channeled his spiritual energy and slashed the swords together. With a "clang," the Qingxue Sword broke and fell to the ground, while the Huoyun Blade in his hand remained intact.
"Now you should be convinced, right?" Feng Shen ignored him and led everyone to the council hall.
The stands erupted in cheers as everyone exclaimed in amazement, never expecting that such a seemingly ordinary match would conceal such a profound mystery.
Ming Cang's face was full of surprise. "Not bad, not bad."
All eyes involuntarily turned to Feng Yue, making him extremely uncomfortable. "Master... let's go."
Hearing this, Mingcang shook his head helplessly, "Alright, let's go back and celebrate!"
Cen Feng: "Yay! Yay! Yay! We can have a big meal again!"
"I want to eat a whole roasted lamb!"
"Don't even think about it!"
...
Su Yuyuan watched their departing figures, his face filled with dejection. "How could I lose... how could I lose to someone like that..."
"If you're not as skilled as others, then work hard instead of complaining all the time." Du Jiaoxi's mocking voice came from behind.
"I don't need you to lecture me!"
Du Jiaoxi straightened her robes and sneered, "Haven't you noticed? Your cultivation has stagnated for the past two years. Instead of wasting your time on Bai Ruoqian, you should focus more on your cultivation."
"And... it seems your favorite junior sister didn't come to watch your match."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyuan's face darkened. Recalling his previous single-minded cultivation, his cultivation speed was indeed extremely fast...
"What are you trying to sow discord about?!"
At this moment, Bai Ruoqian, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared. Du Jiaoxi looked at her and sneered, "Let's go. That's all I have to say. Whether you listen or not is up to you."
Watching her departing figure, Su Yuyuan asked, "Junior Sister, where did you go just now?"
A hint of unease flashed in Bai Ruoqian's eyes. She stepped forward and took his arm. "I suddenly had something to do, so I left for a while."
"Oh, is that so..." Su Yuyuan felt displeased. What could be more important than watching his match?
"Second Brother, don't be angry. Don't take today's events to heart, or it will affect your state of mind in the future."
"I know... but when I go back this time, I will inevitably be punished by my master again."
"Don't worry, I'm here. Master won't punish you."

"Come on, let's celebrate our great victory today!" Ming Cang laughed loudly, raising his wine glass.
"Bottoms up!" With a few gulps, the group finished their drinks.
The First Elder said, "There are two more competitions with a high score ratio: the Talisman Making Competition and the Formation Competition. However, these will have to wait until after the individual arena finals. We don't need to rush these. There will just be some smaller competitions in between, and that will depend on Xiao Huan and the others."
Xiao Huan and the others exchanged glances and solemnly said, "Elder, please rest assured, we will do our utmost to earn points for the sect!"
Jian Yu clasped his hands in a fist and said, "You all can focus on the competition. We can handle the other minor events!"
The Second Elder looked at Xiao Huan and the others, and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Good, it's best to have you help them share the burden. But everyone should do their best and take care of their own safety."
"yes!"
"Mmm, this is delicious!" At this moment, Yu Qianling was like a wine jar, constantly pouring wine down her throat.
Seeing her like this, Ming Cang shook his head and said, "You girl don't act like a proper lady. If the man you like sees you like this, you'll have no chance for the rest of your life!"
"Master, please don't worry about it. Is it more interesting to be a man than to fight?"
"..." Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud. Ming Cang and the elders were speechless. They pinched her ears and scolded her again.
After a few rounds of drinks, Ming Cang's face was slightly flushed and his eyes were lowered. It seemed like he hadn't been this relaxed in a long time. Since the sect gradually declined, he had been restless almost every day, and it seemed that he had endured this for so many years.
He looked up at the children in front of him and suddenly felt much relieved. Regardless of whether he succeeded in obtaining the Divine Wood Elixir, he had to take good care of these children.
Ming Cang: "Alright, there's another individual arena match tomorrow. This one really tests your skills, so you all need to be careful."
The First Elder said, "The newcomer group will compete first. Xiao Luo, it's all up to you!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo smiled and said, "Alright, watch me!"
After chatting for a few minutes, the group went to their respective rooms.
Ye Luo had drunk a bit too much today; her cheeks were flushed and she was staggering as she walked. Suddenly, she pushed open the tightly closed door and was immediately surrounded by a pair of strong arms, followed by an urgent and deep kiss.
"Ugh..." Ye Luo was startled by the suddenness of the suddenness. When she smelled the familiar cold fragrance, she put away the exploding talisman between her fingers and angrily pushed away the man in front of her.
Jun Yi, slightly out of breath, captured his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Be good, let me kiss you again..."
"No, please..." Ye Luo was already dizzy from the alcohol, and with Jun Yi's wolfish kisses, he felt his legs trembling and his waist going limp.
Jun Yi tightened her grip on his slender waist, pulled him closer, and chuckled, "Can't stand anymore?"
"You...you're talking nonsense! I was just drunk..."
Jun Yi flicked his sleeve and lit the candles in the room. At this moment, Ye Luo's eyes, still hazy with drunkenness, narrowed slightly, and he was able to see Jun Yi's appearance clearly.
He was dressed in a black robe with gold trim, and the horns on his head were gone, so he no longer looked like a half-dragon. His silver tail had also disappeared. "You've grown legs?"
He seemed to be acting foolishly, reaching out to touch those strong, powerful legs, and muttering, "They really are legs...so long."
"Don't touch me like that!"
Jun Yi grasped his hand, his golden eyes darkening slightly. This little devil really knew how to tease people. He cleared his throat and said, "Stop fooling around. I've prepared hot water for you. Go take a bath quickly."
"You help me wash..."
Jun Yi swallowed hard. Looking at his drunken, silly state, he could only suppress his desires. He thought to himself that if the timing wasn't wrong, he would never let this little flirt get away with it!
