Chapter 530: Test of Weapon Refining Techniques

Compared with Lu Yang, Li Haoran has always been grateful that he has a more reliable master. Although he threw himself into the magma, it was also to allow him to better experience the mystery of the fire spirit root.

He never expected that his good master had enemies in the Five Elements Sect.

It’s still a whole vein of fire.

Bai Ming patted Li Haoran on the shoulder and said, "Relax, this is an exception. I heard that Elder Zhou Xin is very popular in the weapon refining world and has a lot of connections."

This is true. Elder Zhou Xin's weapon refining skills are unparalleled in the world of immortal cultivation, and his reputation is excellent.

Equipment refining masters often judge their superiority by the number of patents registered, and Elder Zhou Xin has applied for the most patents.

These patents also brought him huge wealth. Even the Seventh Elder, the master of alchemy, did not have as many spirit stones as the Fifth Elder.

Of course, Elder Zhou Xin’s wealth is still not as much as Buyu Daoren’s.

It’s not that Taoist Buyu is very rich now, but his wanted poster in the black market is more valuable.

"What are those people doing?"

Lu Yang saw several nearly naked brothers lying on the ground, ignoring the scorching heat, with their eyes closed and concentrating, as if they were coated with a layer of liquid that reflected the sun.

There was a branch stuck next to them.

The last time I saw this look was when I was sunbathing in my previous life.

"You said they are hard to understand, right? They are trying to comprehend the meaning of the sun. After research by the Fire Vein Elders, they found that the larger the area in contact with the sun's rays, the greater the chance of gaining the feeling."

"That branch was brought back by Master from the Desolate State. It is said to be a trophy obtained by defeating an ancient monk. It is a branch of the Fusang tree, which is very helpful for comprehending the meaning of the sun."

"They have a special ointment applied to their bodies."

"Is it an ointment that can improve one's understanding of the sun's will?"

“It’s sunscreen.”

Lu Yang silently withdrew his gaze. The Five Elements Sect's cultivation method was unique.

"Come on, I'll take you to see the water vein's practice site."

Before they could set off, several monks with flames between their eyebrows came over, looking dignified and walking towards the six people with big strides.

"Which one is Li Haoran?"

"What are you going to do?" Meng Jingzhou frowned slightly and stood in front.

"Are you Li Haoran?" The monks with flames between their eyebrows looked at Meng Jingzhou.

Bai Ming stood between the two parties, his tone somewhat unhappy: "Brother Yuan Gang, and other brothers, what are you going to do?"

These people are the senior brothers of Huomai.

"Nothing, I just heard that Elder Zhou Xin's good disciple came over, so I wanted to see what he looks like."

"They are guests."

Yuan Gang said lazily: "I know, but I don't plan to do it."

"I am Li Haoran." When things got to this point, Li Haoran no longer let others take the lead and took the initiative to stand up.

"So you are Li Haoran, the Fire Spiritual Root. You can't judge a person by appearance. I heard that you have received the true teachings of Elder Zhou Xin and are an incredible weapon refiner. Is that true?"

"So what if it's true, so what if it's false?"

Yuan Gang's eyes flashed with a gleam: "It doesn't matter. My cultivation is one level higher than yours. It's meaningless to beat you. So, you and I will compete in weapon refining skills. What do you think?"

"Senior Brother Yuan Gang, Li Haoran is a guest." Bai Ming reminded Yuan Gang again.

Yuan Gang chuckled and said, "Why not let him learn the weapon refining method of my Five Elements Sect?"

"Competition in weapon refining? Sure." When it comes to weapon refining, Li Haoran has never been afraid of anyone.

"Look, Li Haoran said yes."

"When?"

"It's better to do it now than to wait for a better day. How about now? It's a good time for everyone to be a witness."

As the two groups clashed, more and more disciples of the Five Elements Sect were attracted over, even those who were basking in the sun came over.

"Whatever you say, what happened?"

"I guess it was Yuan Gang who stepped forward to seek redemption for Elder Huomai and compete in weapon refining skills."

"Did the other party agree?"

"I agree."

"I have seen some of them. Even the elders praised Senior Brother Yuan Gang's weapon refining skills and said that he is the future weapon refining master."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"That's right."

Yuan Gang smiled and looked around, his eyes fell on Li Haoran: "How about it, do you want to compete now, or should I give you some time to prepare?"

"Why bother preparing? Just compete now. Tell me, what shall we compete for?"

Yuan Gang thought about it and said seriously: "After all, refining equipment is used by cultivators, and power is what cultivators value most. So how about we compete to see who can refine the most powerful magic weapon?"

"What is the standard for power?"

Yuan Gang pointed to several huge red rocks standing in the distance and said, "Those are Lava Essence Stones. They are formed when magma from a volcanic eruption is condensed by a great master with great magical power. They are extremely hard. The winner will be determined by who can cause more damage to the Lava Essence Stones. The longest charging time cannot exceed one hundred breaths."

The longer the magic weapon's charging time is, the greater its power is. If there is no limit on the charging time, it becomes a competition to see whose magic weapon can be charged longer.

"It's a deal."

"Well, can we both join in?"

A chuckle was heard, and Yuan Gang saw Lu Yang smiling and raising his hand, with Meng Jingzhou standing next to him.

"You two also know the art of refining weapons?" Yuan Gang looked at the two of them suspiciously. Of course he knew Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, but the problem was that he had never heard that they were good at refining weapons.

"It's okay. It won't be a problem for me to beat you." Meng Jingzhou said with a smile.

Yuan Gang was so angry that he laughed: "What courage! This is the first time I've heard someone say that they can beat me in weapon refining! Then come and participate in the competition and let me see what you are capable of!"

Bai Ming was somewhat puzzled and secretly sent a message to Man Gu and Tao Yao Ye: "Are they really able to refine weapons?"

Man Gu shook his head blankly, while Tao Yaoye remained silent, recalling the sect admission test two years ago.

The attitudes of the two made Bai Ming even more confused.

Yuan Gang winked at his henchman, who took out a large amount of refining materials from his identity jade token: fine steel, ironwood, agate, pure yin water...

"These are the raw materials for refining equipment. You can use them freely during the competition. There is no limit to the common refining materials. There are not enough precious materials. When the competition starts, it will depend on who grabs them first."

Lu Yang joked, "I've never seen such a fair competition. You proposed the competition, and you set the content of the competition. Now you say that there are not enough refining materials and we need to fight for them. I hope you don't mind if I use some magic."

Yuan Gang seemed not to have heard Lu Yang's ridicule, and asked calmly: "Whatever, do you want to compete?"

Lu Yang's smile remained unchanged: "Competition, of course, if we don't compete, how can you know the power of our weapon refining skills? Since it's a competition, what's the prize? It can't be face."

"I lose. You can pick any true fire from this fire vein training ground."

"You lose. Don't practice in my Fire Vein territory during your stay in the Five Elements Sect!"
