Chapter 297 - Refining Peak Grade Earth Ranked Weapon
After that, the elder announced the rewards for the next positions, second, third, fourth so on. Although the rewards were goods, it was nothing come to compare to extreme sunflower seeds.
"Okay, let"s begin the compet.i.tion." The elder of true fire palace yelled loudly after explaining everything related to this compet.i.tion.
There was no restriction to the type of spirit weapon one could refine for the Weapon refining compet.i.tion. However, each person only had three chances.
Within three rounds of weapon refinement, they had to select the weapon with the best grade and quality for the final evaluation.
If they failed all three rounds of weapon refinement, it would mean that they have lost completely. There were a total of 642 Weapon Refiners taking part in this compet.i.tion.
As the referee elder gave the green signal, all the partic.i.p.ants started.
Swoosh!
Instantly, hundreds of flames soared, illuminating against one another. Everyone started warming their cauldron. While some started checking the material immediately, started shorting out the materials for refining.
Feng Yun also started checking the refining materials given by the True Fire Palace, he was showing any hastiness, calmly selecting the materials.
Tough Red Iron, Starlight Ore, Snow Silver, some other materials. When Feng Yun saw the main materials for refining given by the True Fire Palace, a smile formed on his face. The True Fire Palace deliberately used tough red iron and starlight ores to make the compet.i.tion difficult.
Both Tough Red Iron and Starlight ores are very hard in property, they were very difficult to melt, needed very high temperature while snow silver was very mild in property, have to meet at a low temperature. Furthermore, the tough red iron contained a lot of impurities, it has to quench greatly. To do all of this, partic.i.p.ants needed great control over the flame.
Many partic.i.p.ants already showing desperate looks on their faces seeing the materials. There were also few who have a confident look on their faces just like Fan Qi, and some other talented weapon refiners from True Fire Palace. Evidently, they have used these materials many times, so they were familiar with them.
A light orange-colored fire appeared on the palm of Fan Qi as he stared heating up the cauldron, the orange-colored appeared it caused the surrounding temperature to increase instantly.
"Wow~ That"s spirit fire."
"True Fire Palace very generous, it gave a spirit fire to junior."
"Fan Qi obtained a spirit fire already, he is bound to become a great weapon refiner in the future."
"Yea, this compet.i.tion definitely going to win by him."
Many people heated up with discussion when they saw the light orange-colored flame of Fan Qi, it was spirit fire of earth ranked, placed on eight hundred five on the list.
Feng Yun also looked at Fan Qi"s spirit fire with little interest. After taking a glance at the Spirit Fire, Feng Yun withdraw his gaze and started heating up his cauldron.
Right after warming their cauldrons, the partic.i.p.ants placed their materials within and increased the temperature of the flames to begin smelting.
The Tough Red Iron was used in refining, the smelting time was increased greatly. Feng Yun increased the temperature very high and started smelting.
Time slowly pa.s.sed.
The first to complete the smelting process was Fan Qi because he had the advantage of Spirit Fire as well familiarity with these ores. As Feng Yun wasn"t familiar with Rough Red Iron, his speed was slower.
The next step, forging.
After that, tempering.
Cultivators from both the spectator area and the square were attracted to Fan Qi"s weapon refinement technique as they nodded silently.
Fan Qi"s technique was indeed far beyond those surrounding him.
It was truly rare for someone to have such an understanding and attainment towards weapon refinement at the age of 25.
After a few moments, Fan Qi was already one with tempering and had begun on spirit gathering.
Before long, he gathered his first earth-ranked spirit pattern.
Gong Han of True Fire Palace nodded to himself. He had witnessed Fan Qi"s entire weapon refinement process and there were no mistakes at all – there was a high chance a Peak-grade Earth Ranked weapon could be refined!
A short while later, another ray of spirit light flashed!
A second spirit pattern!
Third Spirit Pattern!
While it was already a High-grade Earth Ranked weapon, Fan Qi had no intention of stopping.
After yet another short while, the fourth spirit pattern was engraved on the sword.
Four Earth Grade spirit patterns… it was a Peak-grade Earth Ranked weapon!
A Peak-grade Earth Ranked weapon was formed.
A wave of shock and astonishment could be heard from the crowd.
There were very few disciples who could refine Peak-grade Earth Ranked weapons in the True Fire Palace.
By refining a Peak-grade Earth Ranked weapon on his first attempt, Fan Qi had proven his skills as a Weapon Refinement Master.
Fan Qi"s confident instantly soared, he was sure that he would be the winner. When he looked around, n.o.body has not refined a weapon yet, some are still stuck on forging, a conceited smile formed on his lips. He closed his eyes to meditate to recover the mental energy before starting next refining.
A few moments later.
On Feng Yun"s side, he was also done with tempering, he was engraving the spirit patterns on the sword, just a few seconds, first spirit pattern formed and engraved on the sword, then second and third.
After engraving the three spirit patterns on the sword, Feng Yun paused for a moment, after that he started forming the fourth spirit pattern.
Feng Yun has never done it before, it was the first time when he was refining peak grade earth ranked weapons.
"Hey, look at the boy in the second last row."
The guest of high-level cultivation base, sweeping their divine sense in the cauldron of partic.i.p.ants at the stage, checking the performance of partic.i.p.ants. At this time, the sky profound realm guest noticed Feng Yun"s refining and exclaimed instantly.
"What? He is also trying to refine a Peak Grade Earth Ranked weapon."
"Who is he?"
"He"s wearing insignia of mystic heaven peak, when did mystic heaven peak produce a genius refiner."
Suddenly a noise started to spread in the VIP area, all of them looked at Feng Yun as they saw that he was forming a fourth spirit pattern.
Gong Han"s face also changed drastically, when he noticed Feng Yun. Being a sixth-level weapon refiner, his insight was very good, in one glance he knew that Feng Yun"s refining technique was superb.
In the VIP area, Mu Dong looked at Feng Yun with antic.i.p.ation. As long as Feng Yun successfully engraved the fourth spirit pattern, a second peak grade earth weapon would be formed of this compet.i.tion.
Before long, the fourth spirit pattern formed inside Feng Yun"s cauldron, as he engraved it on the sword successfully.
"Wow! Second Peak Earth Ranked weapon born, and he"s done in a single attempt."
"Another genius has appeared."
"Unexpectedly, this boy didn"t come from True Fire Palace but Mystic Heaven Peak."
Xia Lifen who was watching Feng Yun whole time, didn"t show much reaction like others, she was already confident for Feng Yun to win this compet.i.tion.
