Chapter 68 Qingyun and Liuli
Apparently Zhan Chenming was not the only one who had nothing to say.
No matter what is happening in Qingyun Sect, no matter who is the protagonist on the stage, as long as Chu Songping appears, he will definitely be able to divert some people's attention.
The same is true now.
Most of the disciples originally gathered around the two furnaces, but after Chu Songping spoke, many people gave up watching and gathered near Chu Songping, wanting to hear what the second senior brother had to say.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
He really is worthy of being the second brother, he easily accomplished what others could not do.
Look, what is the gap? This is the gap.
While everyone was still wondering who would win today's fight, Chu Songping was already thinking about kicking the elder down.
This is not just thinking one step ahead, but thinking one generation ahead!
Yan Huai beside Chu Songping said in despair:
"Can you please be quiet? Do you have to butt in on Qi Zong's family affairs?"
He was attracted by the entrance of the spiritual branch for a moment, just a moment, in the blink of an eye, Chu Songping was able to say something that none of the elders were qualified to say.
What else could he do? He really had done the best he could.
Once Yan Huai spoke, Chu Songping could only shut up in disappointment.
However, when he spoke just now, there was no sound at all. All his words were spoken loudly, clearly, and word by word. Not only the disciples nearby, but even the elder of the Weapon Sect who was far away on the scene could hear it clearly.
The face of the elder of Qi Zong had turned the color of pig liver with anger. If there hadn't been so many people present and he couldn't lose his temper in front of so many people, he would have probably attacked Chu Songping.
His gaze fell on Chu Songping like a knife. Chu Songping looked at him provocatively, without any fear at all.
The head of the Qi Sect couldn't stare at Chu Songping's pair of strange and enchanting eyes, so he was forced to look away and transfer his anger to Yan Huai next to him.
Yan Huai laughed dryly twice, and his submissive look finally calmed the elder of Qi Sect down, and he looked away and stopped arguing with them.
"Look at you, your temper is really..."
Yan Huai turned to look at Chu Songping and sighed for a long time without saying anything substantial. He looked quite pitiful, like a rebellious disciple that is difficult to teach.
After a long time, when everyone's attention was no longer on them, Yan Huai suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"If you want to say it, why don't you just say it earlier? It's unnecessary to say it after the sword is already made. It won't affect people's Taoism at all..."
Chu Songping shook his head and disagreed: "It is Fifth Junior Sister's job to influence his Dao heart. How can I interfere?"
Yan Huai was shocked: "What do you mean?"
Chu Songping said: "Just watch it."
Yan Huai: “…”
I have a bad feeling.
…
The Lingzhi sword was refined for a long time.
When two sides are fighting, whichever side's magic weapon is produced first will have a certain impact on the other side.
However, now that the spiritual branch has entered the country, no matter what happens in the outside world, it will not affect her.
Entry into the country is something that can only be encountered by chance, and thus, the area near the spiritual branch was soon filled with disciples, with three floors inside and three floors outside. In contrast, the place where the elders of the Weapon Sect were sitting was visibly deserted.
As time went on, even a few disciples from the Weapon Sect sitting in the referee's booth wanted to go to the spiritual branch to experience it for themselves. However, as soon as they raised their legs, they were glared back at by Yu Hui who was sitting at the same table.
Come to think of it, after all, the elders of their own branch sect are still present. Even if they are angry, they cannot show it in front of him, unless they don't want to be in the Weapon Sect anymore.
However, among the remaining six disciples excluding Yu Hui, one had a different idea.
He thought - in theory, he should not lose face for the elders, but today he is the elder, but after today, who knows if he will still be the elder?
What if... Second Brother is right?
He looked at Lingzhi who was concentrating on his work, then looked at the elder of Qi Sect who had a red face but pretended not to care, and silently made up his mind.
Soon, a disciple on the referee's bench left his seat, walked towards the spiritual branch, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate.
The elder of the Qi Sect who was watching the whole process was so angry that he was shaking all over and gritting his teeth.
Good, good, it's true that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the person is still there, the tea is already cold!
Even if the entry is guaranteed to be of top quality, it doesn’t mean he has failed!
Today, let everyone see how much stronger he is than this ignorant little girl!
…
It was not until the morning light of the next day tore open the night sky and the sunlight poured down that the spirit branch finally finished refining the weapon.
"The furnace is on, the sword is ready."
She uttered four words quietly, but the ending tone was a faint sigh.
Nan Wang, who had been waiting so long that he almost fell asleep, suddenly woke up and asked worriedly, "What happened to Fifth Junior Sister? Why is she sighing?"
Zhan Chenming said solemnly: "Just wait and see what happens."
Both parties have finished refining their weapons and are ready to open the furnace to take the sword.
Although the elder of the Weapon Sect had already refined it a long time ago, according to the rules of fighting weapons, both parties had to start the furnace at the same time. Even if he was dissatisfied with the spirit branch in his heart, he had no intention of violating the rules.
The life and death contract sworn to the heaven cannot be sloppy in the slightest.
The two of them opened the furnace at the same time, allowing the refined spirit sword to appear under the sunlight.
The sword in the hands of the Weapon Sect elder was green all over, and the hilt was clear and translucent. When it came out, it was surrounded by dazzling light, and it was extremely bright. The sky was covered with auspicious clouds and purple clouds.
The disciples watching could not help but exclaim:
"This vision is a top-grade spiritual sword!"
"It only took such a short time to refine a top-grade spiritual sword. It really lives up to its reputation..."
"How is Fifth Sister doing?"
"Fifth Junior Sister is probably also a top-grade spirit sword. How should we evaluate this?"
"It depends on what the referee says..."
The elder of Qi Zong smiled disdainfully.
Even if the spirit branch can refine a top-grade spirit sword, what can it do?
If the levels are the same, the winner will naturally be determined by the referee's opinion.
Besides Yu Hui, there were at least six people on the referee's bench... and five of them were his people!
Although there were only five people, two elders from the Sword Sect were present and they were the first two to judge. To be fair, they should support one side. If not, it would clearly be a sign of selfishness and he would definitely report it to the Sect Master!
On the contrary, Yu Hui cannot be given this vote.
He had secretly sent a message to Yu Hui just before entering the inner hall. This time the commotion was so big that the head immortal must be watching everyone's performance in the Panlong Hall. Yu Hui must show the magnanimity of being considerate of his fellow sisters and be strict with himself and lenient with others, in order to have a chance to obtain the true teachings.
The moment the spiritual branch's sword came into being, it was also dazzling and gleaming. Under the sunlight, it seemed that only the hilt of the glazed sword was left, and the edge could not be seen at all.
It was a good sword, but the strange phenomena it caused did not seem to be as strong as the elder's.
The purple clouds in the sky dissipated a lot, and the whole sky seemed to be dark.
The disciples watching couldn't help shaking their heads:
"It's still a little short."
"The gap in experience and knowledge cannot be made up overnight."
"If the elders come here, this might be a magical sword of the immortal grade."
"Fifth Junior Sister is able to reach such a level at such a young age. She must have talent. It's a pity that after today..."
"When a disciple makes a mistake, it's only right for the elder to let him off the hook, right?"
Upon seeing this, the elder of the Weapon Sect calmed down from his panic. He raised the sword in his hand and said arrogantly:
"This sword is made of dragon-patterned red and blue ore as its main material, and phoenix bone, peacock feathers, and wild treasure cores as its auxiliary materials. It is forged together. The blade is sharp and can cut through anything. It means to open the sky! I named it - Shang Qingyun."
As soon as these words came out, the disciples around him applauded.
The elder of the Weapon Sect is indeed experienced in refining weapons. Not only are his methods of refining weapons amazing, but even his subsequent self-evaluation is incisive, and he can stir people's emotions with just a few words.
In comparison, the other side appears much weaker.
Lingzhi held up the sword he had forged and said to Du Xueling in a low voice, "Although I have tried my best, it still doesn't work... Senior Sister, this sword is forged from the main material of the Glazed Sword, and the only auxiliary material is Tianshan Snow. I want to call it - Snow Glazed."
Up to the blue cloud, the snow is like colored glaze.
Who will be the weak and who will be the strong has already been determined.
The elder of Qi Sect laughed three times, turned around and looked at the referee seat confidently: "God is above, everyone must make a fair judgment, don't let personal feelings interfere with the Dao!"
The Sword Sect's Great Elder snorted coldly: "What Dao Heart? You are just playing tricks. I really like the little girl's sword. It strikes without a sharp edge and is unpredictable!"
The second elder of the Sword Sect spoke kindly: "Both sides have their own strengths. Young friend Lingzhi's sword is quite unique and ingeniously designed, but when it comes to experience and means, it seems... the elder is still one step ahead."
The Second Elder always spoke like this, with three holes in his words. It was unclear whether it was praise or criticism, and it was up to the listener to judge.
Zhu Tianque said, "I really want Fifth Junior Sister's sword. Although I have bladeless swords in my collection, I have never seen a bladeless sword like this. Well, Senior Sister only needs one natal sword anyway, why don't you give me the other one?"
Everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.
Only the second elder sighed and looked helplessly at his beloved disciple.
The next person to speak was Yu Hui. He said in a pretentious manner, "Although Fifth Junior Sister made a big mistake today, she has made some breakthroughs in her original abilities by entering the realm of refining weapons. This should be taken into consideration when judging."
The elder of Qi Sect nodded with satisfaction.
The rest were disciples of the Weapon Sect. They didn’t have much to say, except to praise the Weapon Sect elders.
The last remaining disciple was the only one who left the referee's seat and watched the entrance of the spiritual branch from a close distance. He seemed to be in a daze and did not say a word.
No one paid any attention to his situation, and they just skipped the question and went straight to the voting step.
Before this, Du Xueling stood up.
As a user, her opinion is also very crucial, but the current situation has almost become one-sided, and whatever she says is useless.
So Du Xueling didn't say anything.
She simply walked up to the two men, took the two spirit swords, and then casually raised them up and threw them——
Collide together.
"bass--"
The sound of the clashing of swords echoed throughout the entire inner hall, like the cry of birds, the rumble of thunder, the sighs of the living, and the wailing of the dead.
If two swords collide, both will be injured, and if two high-quality spiritual swords collide, the final result will most likely be mutual destruction.
Du Xueling actually wanted to force a draw in this way!
The elder of Qi Sect's face changed drastically: "How dare you!"
Unfortunately, it's too late to say this.
The two spiritual swords broke at the same time. Shang Qingyun broke into two halves. The brilliance of the sword suddenly dimmed like scrap iron, and Xue Liuli broke into complete pieces, as fine as snow. For a moment, it was impossible to count how many pieces there were.
The Sword Sect's Great Elder was the first to notice something was wrong and exclaimed, "No, the Snow Glaze is not broken, it is——"
The next moment, it was dark.
The long-planned thunderbolt finally struck when this peerless sword revealed its true form.
