The middle-aged weapon refiner's face stiffened for a moment, then he said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist is really not nervous, he can still joke at this time."
He pointed to the stone platform ahead: "Usually when we come to this place, many people even stutter when they speak."
The stone platform in front is no more than three feet high and about one foot in diameter.
There is a long wooden platform on the blue stone platform, surrounded by a total of nine large chairs.
At this time, the wooden chairs were empty.
There were several young men in robes standing beside the stone platform, looking nervous. Some of them were red and some were pale.
Two people clenched their fists at this moment, and even their legs and feet were trembling without control.
"The weapon refiner trial and certification begins."
As the sound sounded, three phantoms fell on the nine wooden chairs.
This phantom is clearly a formation that casts the shadow of an unknown person somewhere far away here in the form of a projection.
"The certification of the weapon refiner is not done by our tower city, but by the deacons and elders of the weapon refiner alliance in the surrounding cities and even other cities."
"In this certification ceremony, the results are random, so it is difficult to fake them."
The middle-aged man beside Han Muye said softly.
There is also such a method. From this point of view, the strength of this alliance of weapon refiners is greater than previously imagined.
At least this projection array is not an ordinary method.
"Zhao Yuping, certified first-level foundry master, let's begin."
In front of the high platform, the weapon refiner who presided over the certification shouted.
The young man in gray robe who had already stepped onto the stage had a tense face and looked at the various spiritual materials placed on the eucalyptus in front of him.
"This is a descendant of the Zhao family. He has probably just graduated from the army." The middle-aged weapon refiner beside Han Muye flashed a trace of disdain on his face and whispered: "These aristocratic families in the city regard the weapon refiner alliance as their own. .”
“These certification materials seem to be free of charge.”
All materials required to certify a first-level caster do not need to cost source coins. You only need to pay a total of one hundred source coins for level certification.
These one hundred source coins are not for the alliance, but are paid to the three judges and the cost of activating the formation.
In fact, every time a foundry is certified, the alliance here will lose a lot of source coins.
Fortunately, the foundry master will quietly make up for these shortfalls in various transactions in the future.
"Buzz——"
The young man named Zhao Yuping raised a flame in his hand, and then began to put various spiritual materials into it in an orderly manner, burning continuously.
This scene caused envy to flash across the faces of the two young men under the stone platform.
"After all, he is a member of the family, and he actually has spiritual fire in his hand."
"This method of smelting spiritual materials is so skillful. He must have practiced with many spiritual materials before."
Where can ordinary weapon refiner apprentices find spiritual fire, and how can they be qualified to independently refine and forge spiritual materials?
This is the heritage of the family.
Resources are basically monopolized by these aristocratic families.
If you want to be promoted, you must either join a noble family or become an extremely difficult casual cultivator.
The world of spiritual practice is actually very similar.
There were very few aristocratic families in the prehistoric cultivation civilization, but there were major sects and dynasties that still controlled the resources.
The principle that the strong will always be strong is truly an unbreakable truth in the world.
Han Muye looked at the spiritual fire rising on the stage and sighed slightly in his heart.
When he first traveled to the world of cultivation, he took the first step to worship at Jiuxuan Mountain and enter the Sword Pavilion to become a sword watcher. This was indeed the right choice.
"Kacha—"
On the stage, more than twenty forged parts were spliced together to form a black piece of armor.
The armor shook and turned into a battle axe.
It is difficult for a first-level caster to cast refined war puppets and armor independently.
Of course, this certification trial does not require the refinement of war puppets and war armors.
The young man named Zhao Yuping on the stage picked up the tomahawk, waved it a few times, and then placed it on the table.
The three judges raised their hands and lit up a spiritual light.
"The three judges will give evaluations according to the upper, middle and lower grades."
"As long as not all three of them are given a lower grade, it will pass."
The weapon refiner beside Han Muye explained loudly.
The three spiritual lights on the stage turned into three big characters, middle, middle and lower.
Zhao Yu showed joy on his face and bowed to the three judges.
"Thank you three seniors."
Then he straightened his clothes and walked down the stone platform with the battle ax in his arms.
Even if the certification was successful, a weapon refiner wearing a green robe with a smile on his face came over and patted Zhao Yuping on the shoulder, and then put a black iron badge on him.
Han Muye heard Zhao Yuping calling the human uncle. It was obvious that that person was from the Zhao family.
Sure enough, these children of aristocratic families have a lot more resources and conveniences.
At this time, it was not Han Muye's turn to take the stage, and several other certified young people walked onto the stone stage one by one.
Some people succeed and some people fail.
Young people without background are generally more nervous, their movements are more unfamiliar, and their chances of failure are naturally much higher.
There was also one of them who was a certified level 2 foundry master, refining a piece of arm armor, and finally passed by luck.
"Fellow Daoist Han, it's your turn."
The last person in the stands walked down, and the second-level weapon refiner named Zheng Jiang beside Han Muye spoke up.
Just now, he had registered various information for Han Muye, and the two of them talked and introduced their identities.
In addition to being on duty at the main hall of the Weapon Refiner Alliance, Zheng Jiang would also take on some scattered jobs outside.
The second-level foundry master is not very strong. In the workshops and trading houses in the city, he can only be regarded as a helper.
To truly be able to stand alone, one needs to be at least a level three foundry master.
Zheng Jiang does not have the support of a big family, and his level of casting and refining has been stuck at the second level for many years.
A voice came from the stage asking Han Muye to come on stage. Han Muye nodded towards Zheng Jiang and walked up to the stone stage.
Those young people who participated in the certification before, whether they passed or failed, have not left at this time.
You can also gain some experience by observing other people's certifications.
"Han Muye, a certified first-level weapon refiner and foundry master."
"The trial is limited to one hour."
The sound sounded, and Han Muye looked at the various spiritual materials placed on the eucalyptus in front of him.
A first-level weapon refiner and caster only needs to be able to refine an auxiliary combat tool into shape.
Swords, spears, whatever. Just now Zhao Yuping was refining a battle axe.
Looking at the spiritual materials scattered in front of him, Han Muye calculated for a moment, and spiritual fire shone out from his palm.
"The Han family has not been heard of in the city."
"Where did this come from? He has spiritual fire in his hand, and he doesn't look weak."
"Don't worry, depending on his methods, who knows if he got the spiritual fire by luck."
Low voices of discussion rang out from the audience.
Han Muye placed all the spiritual materials in front of him on the spiritual fire and burned them, allowing them to melt quickly.
The movement is not very fast, nor is it very smooth, but it is so natural and inadvertent that there is no sense of disobedience at all.
A total of thirteen kinds of spiritual materials were fused, then forged into more than thirty parts, and finally spliced into a black long sword.
"Buzz——"
The circular armor piece shook and turned directly into a long sword with golden light.
Han Muye held the hilt of the sword and stabbed slightly.
The golden halo on the long sword's edge shines like a stream of light.
"Up, up, up."
The three judges directly gave three superior ratings.
"My dear, you are three superiors. You haven't seen this grade for many years, right?" Under the stone platform, the faces of the young people showed surprise.
"Who is this person? He can get three top grades?" A second-level caster stationed beside the stone platform turned to look at Zheng Jiang.
Confusion flashed across Zheng Jiang's face and he shook his head slightly.
He also didn't know Han Muye's specific identity.
"Do you want to conduct the second-level weapon forging master trial?"
When Han Muye put away his sword, a voice sounded.
Han Muye nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
Continue the trial!
A low cry suddenly came from under the stone platform.
The two weapon refiners brought the spiritual materials to the stone platform and looked Han Muye up and down before stepping down.
Han Muye looked at the spiritual material in front of him, and the spiritual fire in his hand rose again.
The second-level weapon refiner and caster must refine parts related to the armor and puppets.
He also chose an arm armor.
This time he moved much faster.
The smooth smelting of spiritual materials, the forging and splicing of various parts.
The whole process is faster than the first level assessment.
In less than half an hour, a piece of arm armor with dull dazzling light took shape.
"No need to look, it must be passed."
"This arm armor is dazzling. It is at least the best among first-level ones."
The young men below looked at the arm armor and started talking.
The casters of the alliance knew better. At this time, strange expressions flashed on their faces, staring at the arm armor.
"Up, up, up."
After three superior evaluations were made, Han Muye had already raised his head.
"I want to continue with the certification."
Need to be certified!
Reach level three foundry master in one step!
You know, ordinary apprentices need to reach the third level, which takes at least ten years.
Even if it is cultivated by an aristocratic family and everything goes smoothly, it will still take seven or eight years.
After all, the training of many memories does not happen overnight.
At this time, Han Muye wanted to be directly certified as a third-level weapon refiner and foundry master.
Envy flashed on the face of the weapon refiner and caster beside Zheng Jiang. He whispered: "My dear, if he successfully authenticates directly, you will be rewarded with three thousand source coins."
Three thousand source coins are already two months' salary for a second-level caster.
Zheng Jiang also didn't expect that he would be so lucky that just anyone he could receive would be certified as a level three weapon refiner and caster.
"He said he wanted to come for level seven certification." Zheng Jiang whispered softly.
Level seven?
The weapon refiner and caster beside him twitched his lips.
Can you believe this?
Beside the stone platform, several gray-haired old men arrived at some unknown time.
These are the weapon refiners and casters in the alliance.
Some wear level 3 badges on their chests, and some wear level 4 badges.
There is also one with a level five badge.
"Elder Sun, do you think he can pass in one go?" A middle-aged man wearing a fourth-level badge turned his head and spoke respectfully.
Elder Sun behind him is a fifth-level foundry master and is already very prestigious in the alliance.
After all, there are only three sixth-level giants in the entire Tacheng Artifact Refining and Forging Masters Alliance.
"Let's see and talk. If he can authenticate successfully, he can lead him to my Sun family's workshop."
"I gave him the opportunity to observe the forging of refining tools."
Elder Sun put his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.
These words made several people around him look envious.
Not only entering the Shijia Foundry, you can also have the opportunity to observe the craftsmanship of a fifth-level craftsman.
There is no big difference between this and accepting disciples.
If you can join the grandson's family, you may really be accepted as a disciple.
"Buzz——"
On the stage, the spiritual fire in front of Han Muye was divided into three parts.
Two began to smelt spiritual materials and forge parts, while one had a stream of light shining on it and quickly polished the forged parts.
While polishing, Han Muye carved the spirit patterns.
When the parts appear, they are already complete and do not require further processing.
For the third-level trial, Han Muye chose to forge a piece of war puppet arm.
At this time, when those people below looked at his movements, they already felt that they were very different.
There is no unnecessary action in the whole process.
What to do first, what to do later, in an orderly manner.
There is no confusion in the placement of spiritual materials and parts.
Within half an hour, a war puppet arm took shape.
"Kacha—"
Control this arm to dance, clenching your fist slightly, and a vibrating sound will appear.
The three judges did not make a judgment immediately, but looked at it carefully, and then pointed out the three spiritual lights.
"Up, up, up."
Mikami again.
In front of the stone platform, everyone's faces showed excitement.
It’s really hard to imagine how inspiring this process is to witness a weapon-smelting and casting master go directly from a trainee apprentice to the third level.
"It turns out there is such a person in the world..."
"Level 3 certification doesn't look difficult, and I have a chance."
"This movement is so fast and skillful. How long does it take to practice?"
The young men all clenched their fists, their faces flushed.
It was as if he was standing on the stage.
"Go and ask him if he is willing to come under my sect." Elder Sun whispered.
Instead of going to the workshop, come directly to the door!
This is because Han Muye once again received three high-quality reviews just now, which made Elder Sun tempted.
The blacksmith beside him nodded, and just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the stage.
"I want to continue with the certification."
continue!
Still need certification?
After re-certification, you will be a level 4 weapon refining and casting master!
Level 4, that is not bad among all the major families, and can live a nourishing existence.
A fourth-level weapon refiner and caster, he is already known as a master in the city.
No matter how imaginary this master is, it still represents his status.
As Han Muye's voice fell, the shadows of the three judges on the stone platform disappeared.
Several weapon refiners and casters wearing long robes came running towards them.
"Is this for Level 4 certification?"
"It's rare that our city, Tacheng, doesn't have a few Level 4 certifications in a year."
"You all should go out. Observation is not allowed for Level 4 certification."
The badges hanging on the chests of these people are all level four and level five.
Those weapon refining masters below level three could only walk out with their heads lowered.
I still want to watch it again, but unfortunately, my skills are not good enough and I am not qualified to observe.
Of course, they also know that the level difference is too big, even observing is useless.
On the contrary, it will affect the mind.
"Hey, Old Sun? Is this your descendant?" An old man with a fifth-level badge on his chest turned to look at Elder Sun.
Elder Sun hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "I originally planned to accept him as a disciple, but now I see, it may not be possible."
There is only one level difference between level 4 and level 5. If this person succeeds in level 4 certification, then even if he becomes his disciple, he won't be able to teach him anything.
The old man who asked the question nodded, and then looked at Han Muye.
On the stage, this time five shadows fell, sitting among nine wooden chairs.
The first three levels have three adjudicators, and the fourth level has five adjudicators.
The shadow fell, and the spiritual materials for the fourth level trial were delivered.
Han Muye raised his hand and directly lit the spiritual fire.
It's just a level four trial.
For him, such refining and casting is completely childish.
"Did he start the fourth-level trial directly?"
"Very confident. He knows all about the characteristics of these spiritual materials?"
"Is that okay? I want to watch and learn more. Doesn't this look very reliable?"
Those level four weapon refiners and casters are all whispers.
Only three level five foundry masters had solemn expressions on their faces, and their eyes were shining brightly.
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
Han Muye controlled the spiritual materials that were burned and smelted in the flames just right.
All parts are forged and formed right the first time.
There is no excess or waste.
The process is not the kind of tight connection between front and back, but relaxed and casual.
This kind of weapon refining is really pleasant.
The process of forging weapons is not boring, but interesting.
Han Muye started to carve spiritual patterns, and those spiritual patterns seemed to come alive.
Raising his hand to build parts, many parts collided, vibrated, and made soft sounds.
Still half an hour later, a half-formed war puppet body was placed in front of him.
This level is about refining the half-formed war puppet.
There is no defensive armor, only the splicing of parts for body transmission.
The more this happens, the more clearly the structure of this war puppet can be seen.
"Fine, precise, exquisite." The old man standing next to Elder Sun spoke softly.
There was a trace of emotion on his face.
The several fourth-level blacksmiths standing in front of the old man were all staring at Han Muye's assembled war puppet, as if they were afraid of missing anything.
It can be seen from the parts polished by Han Muye that each one is a high-quality product.
How agile will the war puppet body assembled from such parts be?
Han Muye took a step back, leaving the assembled body of the war puppet on the wooden platform.
"I'll control the demonstration." Elder Sun stepped forward and pushed away the eager weapon refiners.
This war puppet has no device core driver, only a body, and needs to be controlled by someone with their own strength.
Elder Sun stepped forward to control the war puppet because he was curious about Han Muye's skills and also showed that he valued him.
Otherwise, a fifth-level weapon forger would never control the war puppet himself.
When he came on stage, others naturally wouldn't argue with him, and they all looked at the puppet with curiosity.
Elder Sun walked up to the stage, bowed his hands to the five illusory figures, and then stretched out his hand in front of the war puppet and pressed it on the war puppet's body.
"Kacha—"
There were sounds of parts being spliced together, and the body of the war puppet suddenly stood up.
With a slight spin, the war puppet flew down on the stone platform, and its empty arms and legs made various lifting, stretching and kicking movements.
The movements are very coherent and there is no sense of sluggishness.
In the eyes of everyone in the audience, it was completely as agile as a human body.
"It took half an hour to refine the body of this kind of war puppet. This person's level is so high that it's not just level four." A middle-aged man with a level four weapon forger badge on his chest clenched his fists. He spoke in a low voice.
He is level four, but he is completely unable to be as agile as Han Muye in refining the war puppet.
Not even half an hour, but even if you give him enough time, none of the war puppets he refined will be so agile.
"Up, up, up."
Mikami again.
No, it's Five.
Elder Sun sent the war puppet back to Muyu, turned to look at Han Muye, smiled and nodded, and then walked off the stage.
Han Muye cupped his hands, stepped forward, and looked at the torso of the war puppet in front of him.
"I choose to continue the trial certification."
continue!
Direct certification from level one to level five!
The weapon forgers under the stone platform all had expressions of horror and surprise on their faces.
They were shocked by the strength of Han Muye's skills, and were pleasantly surprised to see such a person certified.
If Han Muye could reach level five in one step today, it would be a legend in the entire Tacheng Weapon Refining and Blacksmiths Alliance.
"You guys go out first." The old man beside Elder Sun waved his hand, and then whispered: "I have summoned the horse master to come and witness."
Master Ma is one of the three giants of the Tacheng Weapon Refining and Forging Masters Alliance, the sixth-level refining master Ma Mingyuan.
The birth of a fifth-level weapon refiner in the city is a big event, and it is a great joy for the weapon refiner alliance.
The birth of every fifth-level weapon refiner represents a further step in the strength of the Tacheng weapon refiner alliance.
It means that Tacheng has another strong weapon refiner.
When various materials were placed on the eucalyptus in front of Han Muye on the stone platform, a tall, gray-haired old man with thick arms walked over quickly.
】
There were four weapon refiners coming behind the old man.
"Master Horse." Elder Sun and the three of them bowed quickly.
"Han Muye is Master Han who is behind the famous He family in the city recently." Ma Mingyuan seemed to have known Han Muye's identity for a long time. He walked to the stone platform and spoke in a low voice.
Master Han?
The one who helped the He family rise and allowed the young master of the He family to sweep through the younger generations in Tacheng?
Several fifth-level weapon refiners nodded.
No wonder this guy was able to reach Level 5 in one step, he was famous for a long time.
"Okay, let's see how good his weapon-refining skills are." Ma Mingyuan put his hands behind his back and looked at the flames in front of Han Muye.
At this time, a total of ten flames flowed in front of Han Muye, melting the spiritual materials one by one.
In the flames, scattered golden lights intertwined, and then pieces of armor flew out.
The fourth-level trial is to refine the body of the war puppet, and the fifth-level trial at this time is to refine a battle armor worn by the war puppet.
This armor is not the armor of an armor master, but a battle armor that is suitable for the body of a war puppet and has a balance of defense and strength.
This battle armor not only shows the weapon refiner's understanding of the power of the battle puppet, but also reveals his method and level of refining the battle armor.
If you can refine the battle armor for the war puppet, you can refine the battle armor for the armor master.
The defense level or attack level of this armor must at least reach level five.
"Buzz——"
There was a soft sound, and the armor pieces in front of Han Muye began to be spliced.
The carved armor pieces are connected together to form a golden war puppet outer armor.
"Good armor. Just by looking at it, I can tell it must be level five." Ma Mingyuan looked at the weapon refiner beside him and said, "Chen Xun, go and try it."
The weapon refiner named Chen Xun walked onto the stage, bowed his hands to Han Muye, and then a long knife appeared in his hand.
"boom--"
The long sword was slashed down, and golden light intersected on the armor, directly holding the long sword against it.
Chen Xun took a step back slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
The defense of this armor exceeded his imagination.
"superior."
The martial arts aura gathered again.
Level 5 weapon forger.
"Congratulations, Master Han." Chen Xun bowed his hands to Han Muye and walked down the stone platform.
Under the stone platform, other fifth-level blacksmiths also raised their hands.
Han Muye nodded, his eyes falling on Ma Mingyuan.
"Yes, we have a fifth-level weapon refiner in Tacheng today." Ma Mingyuan raised his hand with a smile on his face and said: "If little friend Han completes the trial, I will host a banquet——"
Before he finished speaking, Han Muye had already shaken his head and said softly: "I want to continue the trial."
