Chapter 547
After two days of strolling around Wanhuo City, the weapon refining competition began. The two walked towards the arena and soon saw a sea of people. It was much more lively than Xuanwu City. Looking around, the Martial Emperors, Martial Kings, and Martial Sect members were all gathered together. Those with weak strength would tremble in fear in such a crowd.
Yuan Jing listened carefully and said to Duan Linzhi with interest, "I heard that anyone who enters the top 50 will have the opportunity to enter the Wanyan Domain. There are many good things in the Wanyan Domain. Are you interested in participating?"
Wanyan Domain is a secret realm within Wanhuo City, controlled by the City Lord's Mansion and open to the public periodically. This time it happened to coincide with the Equipment Refining Competition, so the winners would be given a spot to enter Wanyan Domain as a reward.
Compared to weapon techniques, Yuan Jing focused on alchemy. He knew weapon techniques, but was still a little behind Duan Linzhi. Duan Linzhi smiled and said, "If you are not afraid of embarrassing me, then I will give it a try."
He is currently only at the ninth level of Martial King, and he believes that there are many Martial Sect members among the participants. It should not be an easy task to snatch the quota from them.
Yuan Jing waved and smiled: "I'll cheer you on from below."
Duan Linzhi smiled and shook his head, but as Yuan Jing said, he signed up to join in the fun. After signing up and receiving his own number, Duan Linzhi waited to go on stage.
This was different from a ring match, and Duan Linzhi was quite interested in this experience. When his number was called, he waved to Yuan Jing and walked onto the stage. The location was right at a place where the fire veins were exposed, with flames billowing all around, making Duan Linzhi look so cold and heartless that he didn't look like the one from the lower world. If the people from the lower world saw him, they would definitely be shocked.
After coming to this world, Duan Linzhi did not just focus on refining the sword to improve his cultivation. He also studied the weapon refining techniques of this world, including the refining method of the Nebula Shuttle in the Star Sword Sect. Therefore, he was quite calm about the weapon refining competition. It would be even better if he could have the opportunity to enter the Wanyan Domain to take a look, but it would be fine if he couldn't.
It was with this mentality that Duan Linzhi, who was drawing fire from the earth veins to refine the weapon, was very relaxed from beginning to end.
His weapon-refining techniques were different from those of other weapon refiners present because they incorporated techniques from other worlds, and attracted the attention of the weapon-refining masters who were present as referees in the stands.
"Where did that guy come from? It turns out that this material can be processed in this way. Not bad, I can learn from it."
"Interested? If you are interested, when the end comes, ask that kid where he came from and whether he has a master. If not, you can absorb him."
"Let's wait and see if this kid has a chance to enter the Wanyan Realm. His cultivation is still a little lacking."
Yuan Jing in the audience was also watching other people's weapon refining techniques with great interest. The Tianyuan Realm was much more advanced in the development of various skills than the Xuanwu Continent, and many of its exquisite aspects were not much different from the previous world of immortal cultivation. It was probably because of the deliberate blockade by the four forces that the Xuanwu Continent was in such a situation.
After listening to other people's discussions, Yuan Jing also learned that this time the Lord of Wanhuo City had invited an emperor-level weapon refining master. This master was quite famous, so many weapon masters came to participate in the competition just for him. If they could catch his eye, they might have the opportunity to become his apprentice.
On the Yuanjing stand, there was an elder with red beard and eyebrows. He should be the Red Eyebrow Master they were talking about. His strength should not be underestimated.
It was similar to the alchemy elimination match that Yuan Jing had experienced before. After round after round, although Duan Linzhi had the cultivation level of the ninth level of Martial King, he remained on the stage. The weapon masters who advanced with him were all in the Martial Sect, which made Duan Linzhi enter the eyes of more people.
"Who is that? Where is he from? Why have I never heard of such a person?"
"Yes, he is only at the king level, but his weapon skills have reached the sect level."
Some people went out of their way to inquire about Duan Linzhi's information, but unfortunately there was only his name and no other details. However, two people left the crowd and looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.
"Let's take a closer look to see if it's them. But doesn't the information from Tianluo Sect say that those two are just ordinary warriors? But judging from their performance on the stage, it's clear that they are almost as strong as Martial Kings. How long has it been since they've improved so quickly?"
"No matter if it is or not, let's first contact them at the airport and then pass the news back. This is not our Ying family's territory, so we still need to be careful."
"good."
Yuan Jing held his chin and watched intently. Of course, most of his attention was still on Duan Linzhi. He found that Duan Linzhi's weapon skills had improved significantly in the promotion match, which made Yuan Jing very happy. Unfortunately, his good mood did not last long. He suddenly looked in one direction, and the warriors over there were caught off guard and did not have time to look away. Yuan Jing saw the scrutinizing eyes of the two warriors.
Did he recognize me? Who in the upper world could recognize him?
Yuan Jing curled the corners of his mouth. He didn't expect that when he came to the territory of Huoyun Region, he would actually meet people from the four forces. Only those four forces would issue a wanted warrant for him and Duan Linzhi and release their images. Who from other forces would pay attention to them?
I don't know which of the four forces those two people belong to.
Ying Xiu and Ying Zhuo were relieved when they found that Zhai Yuanjing's eyes just glanced at them and then turned away. Ying Xiu said, "He shouldn't have noticed us."
Ying Zhuo: "I don't think so. I saw that he and Duan Linzhi on the stage were very calm. They obviously thought they had left the Shuiyun Territory and were safe."
Ying Xiu: "Didn't they just come from the lower world? How could they have such good weapons? Could it be that Hua Wenmeng again? Damn this guy, he's a traitor!"
Without his grandfather, Hua Wenmeng is nothing. Everyone in the Ying family dislikes this waste. Hua Wenxuan has a closer relationship with the Ying family, and the Ying family will stand on Hua Wenxuan's side without hesitation for the benefit of the Ying family.
Duan Linzhi on the stage was unaware of what was happening below the stage. He did not give up at all and tried his best, because he could see that Yuan Jing wanted to visit the Wanyan Domain, and he also felt that the Wanyan Domain should be very good, so he was fighting very hard for this opportunity.
After competing for several consecutive days, Duan Linzhi finally got one of the fifty places as he wished. A device he made on the spot was appreciated by Master Chimei. This was a one-time explosive device that integrated his own sword energy and earth fire into it. Once activated, it could burst out with a force comparable to a blow from Wu Zong.
After the competition, many cultivators wanted to buy this artifact from Duan Linzhi, but Duan Linzhi refused them all. He and Yuan Jing returned to the inn where they were staying temporarily. There were only two days left before the opening of the Wanyan Domain.
"You said that people from four different forces came to Wanhuo City?"
"It should be them. No one else would pay so much attention to us."
Duan Linzhi also didn't take them seriously: "It's just right. We will enter the Wanyan Domain together in two days. I heard from Master Chimei that the Wanyan Domain is actually divided into the outer domain and the inner domain. The inner domain is not necessarily open every time. This time it happens to be the turn of the inner domain to be opened. Those who enter can gain a lot of opportunities, which is exactly what we need."
"Great!" Yuan Jing said happily. He didn't expect to encounter such good luck just after coming out of seclusion.
Two days later, the disciples of Zixu Sect and Tianluo Sect who had rushed over after receiving the news reunited with Ying Xiu and Ying Zhuo. Ji Peilan was a disciple of Zixu Sect, so even if she had made a mistake, she should not be punished by outsiders, so Zixu Sect also tried its best to search for Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing, otherwise where would be the face of Zixu Sect?
On the contrary, the Jiang family, where Jiang Xiuyi lived, felt that they had miscalculated, because Jiang Xiuyi sent back a more detailed message. They did not think there was anything to be done about Ji Peilan's death. It was Ji Peilan who had seriously underestimated the two men and died a deserved death. Therefore, the Jiang family's attitude when searching for the two men was a little perfunctory.
The Zixu Sect disciples frowned and asked Yingxiu and Yingzhuo, "Where are they?"
Ying Xiu and Ying Zhuo said helplessly: "Both of them have entered Wanyan Territory. We used the Ying family's identity to negotiate with the Wanhuo City Lord's Mansion, but the City Lord's Mansion neither agreed to detain those two people nor agreed to let us in."
"Damn it, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion and ask to see the City Lord."
If the Ying family alone is not enough, then adding the Zixu Sect and the Tianluo Sect, wouldn't that be enough? As soon as they received the news, they rushed over, but they were still one step short. Everyone knew that the Wanyan Domain in Wanhuo City would be closed after half a year.
"And you said those two were Martial Kings?"
"Yes, I heard that Duan Linzhi is a ninth-level martial king."
The cultivators who heard it gasped. How long had it been since those two entered the upper realm? Their speed of advancement was much faster than theirs. Which of the other warriors who came up from the lower realm was not still at the Martial Emperor stage? How come these two who escaped were already at the ninth level of Martial King?
If we can't take these two people down this time, things might become even more difficult in the future.
This group took out their identity tokens and went directly to the City Lord's Mansion to ask to see the City Lord.
Of course, the city lord himself did not meet him. Instead, he met the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. The steward said that this matter had to be decided by the city lord himself, and he would convey the message to the city lord on your behalf. The Zixu Sect disciples and others could only wait patiently.
The steward entered the study and told City Lord Qiu the purpose of those people's visit. There was another person in the study, who was Master Chimei.
City Lord Qiu sneered and said to Master Chimei, "Look, this is the second time. Don't you want to know how that kid offended those forces in Shuiyun Territory? They all chased him from Shuiyun Territory to Wanhuo City. But a few martial masters dared to assign this city lord to do something."
Master Chimei stroked his red beard and said, "I don't believe that you didn't investigate the origins of those two boys from the Ying family after they came. So, what did you find out?"
City Lord Qiu laughed out loud. Of course he sent people to investigate. Since someone came to his territory and got the quota to enter Wanyan Domain, he must know the person's background to see if this favor was worth it. The result of the investigation was beyond his expectations.
"The Duan Linzhi you've chosen is actually just a swordsman, not a weapon master. Are you disappointed, Master? They are not cultivators from our Tianyuan Realm, but came from a lower realm called Xuanwu Continent. However, before they came to Tianyuan Realm, they killed a mortal warrior sent by Zixu Sect, and then used the Sky Breaking Talisman to escape. Therefore, Zixu Sect, Tianluo Sect, Ying Family and Jiang Family of Shuiyun Territory have sent people to issue a wanted order to capture these two people."
"I didn't expect them to come to my Wanhuo City and participate in the weapon refining competition with great interest. By the way, when they first came to Tianyuan Realm, they were just ordinary warriors, but now they are both ninth-level martial kings. It's amazing that warriors from the lower realms have such talent."
Chimei raised his eyebrows. This was indeed beyond his expectation. "It seems that the city lord also has a good impression of the two of them. How will the city lord deal with the people who come?"
City Lord Qiu curled his lips and said, "Let them wait. When Wanyan Territory is closed in half a year, the people will be there. If they have the ability, they can take it themselves."
Master Chimei chuckled. He was optimistic that the two lower realm warriors would have a good harvest in Wanyan Territory and escape from the hands of several martial masters from Shuiyun Territory. "Then I will wait to watch this good show with the city lord."
One day later, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion went in person to explain to the Zixu Sect disciples and others that the entrance to the Wanyan Domain had been closed and outsiders were unable to enter, so they could only ask everyone to wait patiently for half a year. After half a year, the City Lord's Mansion would not interfere with their actions.
The steward left after giving instructions, not caring about how these people reacted. Ying Xiu and Ying Zhuo were unhappy: "Do we really have to wait here for half a year?"
"Let's send a message back and explain the matter. Now it seems that we can only wait for half a year. After half a year, let those two thieves fall into our trap."
Ying Xiu and Ying Zhuo had no choice but to wait with them.
Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi could not understand the feelings of these people at all. They were like fish in water in the secret realm. The environment here was very suitable for them to practice. Sometimes they used the fire attribute energy in the secret realm to temper their bodies and the energy in their dantian, and sometimes they went into dangerous places to hunt monsters to train themselves, and their strength increased rapidly.
Wanyan Realm, from the name you can tell what kind of secret realm it is, it is all red inside, the fire attribute energy is extremely pure, and there are also many fire attribute plants and fire attribute monsters growing inside.
The fifty weapon masters who came in could bring a companion, plus the hundreds of martial artists and weapon masters in the City Lord's Mansion, the number of people entering the Wanyan Domain was not that large. When they met each other, they greeted each other and then parted ways. Of course, it might also be because they had just entered the Wanyan Domain, so no one gained much.
The weapon master came in to capture the fire spirit here. The fire spirit is an excellent helper for the weapon master. Of course, for the alchemist, the fire spirit is a little too violent. The alchemist prefers the milder exotic fire.
Yuan Jing has always been using the elixir fire that he cultivated himself. He cannot use the fire essence, but he can use the fire attribute energy here to temper and improve his elixir fire.
"This is Fire Essence Stone, and it is also an excellent material for refining equipment."
Duan Linzhi looked forward and said, "This Fire Essence Stone looks good. If we go further, we may find Fire Essence."
"Let's go and take a look at the fire spirit." Yuan Jing was very interested in seeing it.
The two collected all the fire essence stones they encountered on the way, and did not let go of any other fire-attributed plants and refining materials. The things here were indeed good.
The two followed the fire spirit stone to find an underground magma mouth. After searching around, they found a fire spirit hiding in the boiling magma.
Yuan Jing's eyes flashed with golden light, and he said softly: "I found a forbidden entrance below. Our luck has come. Let's go down and take a look."
"good."
