The Metallurgical City Artifact Refining Conference started as scheduled, and all the instrument refining masters of different levels in the city gathered together at this time.
They will all forge the spiritual weapons they want to create under the regulations of the Weapon Refiner Association, and the two vice-presidents of the Weapon Refiner Association will jointly review and judge and select the winner of this conference.
As the winner of the Weapon Refining Conference, you will have the opportunity to go to the headquarters of the Weapon Refiner Association in Tianhua City, and receive personal guidance and training from the association's elders. In the future, you will have a great opportunity to be promoted to an elder and take charge of a branch.
It can be said that whoever stands out in the weapon refining conference will be able to embark on a prosperous road.
But there are only three winners, while there are hundreds of people participating in the weapon refining conference.
It’s not easy to stand out among hundreds of people.
Su You, who rushed to the Alchemist Association immediately after leaving the Alchemist Association, did not change into the clothes of a fourth-level alchemist, not even the clothes of a second-level alchemist.
After bringing Jiang Nuer forward to sign up, in the eyes of everyone, he was just a person who came to join in the fun.
Shortly after.
In the center of the spacious square in front of the Weapon Refiner Association, two middle-aged men dressed in the attire of a fourth-grade Weapon Refiner walked up to the high platform and lit a fire on a refining furnace placed on the high platform.
Among them, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue gown and a full beard shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived! The annual weapon refining conference in Metallurgical City is about to begin. I believe everyone is familiar with it before it starts. Regarding the rules of the Weapon Refining Conference, I will not go into details. I just hope that all the Weapon Refiners can forge their favorite spiritual weapons and successfully win the only three winning spots every year!"
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with a white jade fan hanging on his waist who looked a bit coquettish shouted: "The forging furnace has been ignited with raging fire. Next, I declare that this year's weapon refining conference in Metallurgical City has officially begun!"
"clang!"
A heavy bell rang loudly.
The weapon refiners standing in their respective positions around the high platform or the people who came to join in the fun began to use the fire spiritual power to ignite the flames and forge their own spiritual weapons.
This is the first round of competition. The two vice-presidents of the Weapon Refiner Association on the high platform will select the ten best among these hundreds of people for the second round of competition.
Therefore, this round of competition is limited to half an hour.
Within half an hour, whoever forges an embryo or spiritual weapon with a higher quality level will win.
Su You was very fast.
After forging a middle-grade spiritual sword that was close to top-grade quality, he became even more comfortable in forging spiritual weapons.
Put various materials into the refining furnace, use flames to smelt the various materials to fuse them together, and then forge and shape them into embryos.
Link by link, Su You concentrated on making every link perfect.
While others were still smelting materials, he had already begun to gather spiritual power in his hands to forge and shape the embryo, and the outline of a spiritual sword gradually appeared.
When the embryo takes shape, Su You puts it into the refining furnace and pours spiritual power into it to complete the last and most critical step of forging.
But just when Su You was about to complete the forging.
Someone actually picked up a forged spiritual sword faster than him and shouted towards the high platform: "My spiritual weapon has been forged! Please take a look at it, two seniors!"
The words just fell.
Some refiners with mediocre craftsmanship and even mediocre mentality were immediately affected by the words. Either they didn't master the fire enough, or their hands were shaking and they couldn't shape the embryos, so they all declared failure by exploding the furnace.
Su You, who was multitasking, turned his eyes to see who could be so fast and completed forging the spiritual weapon in half an hour.
one look.
Sure enough, it was Li Yongji.
At this time, an attendant from the Weapon Refiner Association took the spiritual weapon in Li Yongji's hand to the high platform and handed it over to the middle-aged man with the white jade fan hanging on his waist for inspection.
"Hmm... Although there are some flaws, overall it is still flawless, not to mention that this is a top-grade spiritual weapon."
"Elder Qian, what do you think?"
The middle-aged man with a white jade fan hanging on his waist handed the spirit sword to the bearded man beside him and asked him to check it carefully.
When the bearded man Qian Hu, one of the two vice-presidents of the Metallurgical City Refiners Association, received the spirit sword, his slightly squinted eyes widened a lot, but he immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Elder Li, as the saying goes, a tiger father has no son. Although Yongji is only a second-grade weapon refiner, he can already forge a top-grade spiritual weapon of such quality. He is indeed very outstanding."
It turns out that the middle-aged man with the white jade fan hanging on his waist is Li Yongji's biological father Li Sanjin, who likes to swing a white jade fan.
The smile on Li Sanjin's face was even more difficult to conceal after hearing Qian Hu's praise. He immediately stood up and announced: "I announce that the first winner of the first round of competition has appeared! Li Yongji, you can step down now and prepare to leave." It’s a round of competition.”
"Yes, I'm just getting ready." Li Yongji agreed, then turned around and left somewhere unknown.
Su You saw all this, especially when Li Sanjin and Qian Hu looked at each other, Qian Hu's eyes flashed with anger and Li Sanjin's eyes were filled with sneer.
But he did not stand up in a hurry. Instead, like other weapon refiners, he waited until half an hour had passed before sending the spiritual weapon he forged early to the high platform for testing.
soon.
Except for Li Yongji, all the candidates who passed the first round of competition have been announced. Surprisingly, the original ten people were reduced to four because of the garbage created by Li Sanjin.
Su You is also among them.
There was no time to observe the lonely expressions on the faces of the eliminated weapon refiners. What followed was the second round of the weapon refinement conference, which was also the most critical one to determine who would go to the Tianhua City headquarters. war.
Li Yongji, who had disappeared for a long time, finally returned to the high platform before the start of the second round of competition.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to dare to come."
Walking straight to Su You, Li Yongji sneered softly: "But what if I let you advance to the second round of competition? Just because you are not qualified to compete with me, Li Yongji, you are just waiting to be kicked out of Metallurgy by me. Cheng, please remember to leave that beauty to me, I will take good care of her, hehehe..."
"Yeah?"
Su You was unmoved, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth and said: "As the saying goes, God is watching what you do. If others don't know, you have to do it yourself. Then do you think anyone knows what you have done?"
"What do you mean? You'd better tell me clearly!" Li Yongji's eyes widened when he heard Su Youyou's words, and his eyes were already burning with anger.
Old God Su You was putting various refining materials into the refining furnace. While controlling the flames and materials, he smiled and said: "You don't have to be so anxious. Our bet has not been completed yet. After this round of competition is over, , everything will be revealed."
After saying that, Su You ignored Li Yongji and focused his attention entirely on the weapon refining furnace.
"You! Grass!"
Li Yongji knew that Su You meant something, but he didn't dare to really attack in front of everyone. He immediately laughed angrily and said: "Okay, okay! Since you want to play with me like this, then I, Li Yongji, will definitely play with you to death!" "
After finishing his words, Li Yongji directly took out a handful of already formed embryos from his storage bag in front of the hundreds of weapon refiners who had never left the scene.
"This is the embryo of a high-grade spiritual weapon. It can be successfully forged with just a little polishing."
Li Yongji's eyes narrowed slightly, with a fierce light in his dark pupils, "Su You, you won't be able to help me when the time comes!"
He casually put the embryo into the refining furnace to start the final forging process.
But the hundreds of weapon refiners who were standing around and watching looked at each other, and each of them fell into silence as if they had no mouths. Their faces had expressions of embarrassment and helplessness.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I can't believe it. I can't believe that I, an alchemist like me, can see such a scene at the weapon refining conference. It's really shocking."
A certain room in the Weapon Masters Association building.
Master Gu, who was standing in front of the window with a cup of fragrant tea, looking at the five people on the high platform, smiled playfully and turned to look at the silver-haired old man whose face had become extremely ugly, and said slowly: "Actually, it's rare for something like this to happen. I don’t blame you. Who made you stay in seclusion for such a long time? You don’t even know that half of the current Metallurgical City belongs to the Li family, let alone that Li Sanjin’s status in the current Artillery Masters Association is comparable to that of you, the president. .”
"Oh, it's okay. I just ignored the rules and abused my power. I did anything by stealing, abducting, killing, and setting fires."
"okay!"
The silver-haired old man immediately opened his mouth and stopped Master Gu, who seemed to have not finished speaking.
His face was as gloomy as ink, and his cloudy eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"You came here specifically to find me and force me to leave the seclusion early to solve this matter, right? What is the origin of that guy named Su You, so that you are willing to come to me as a lobbyist?" The silver-haired old man didn't. asked angrily.
In his opinion, Su You, who was wearing ordinary clothes, was just a little younger, and there was nothing special about him.
But he remembered that Master Gu hurriedly woke him up while he was in retreat yesterday, saying that he wanted him to uphold justice, and that he was willing to use two fifth-grade elixirs as reward.
The two have known each other for many years and are considered old friends. They have never seen Master Gu care so much about anyone.
Of course I have to ask clearly.
"Do you think that a person who possesses the fifth-grade strange fire at the age of eighteen and can refine the perfect quality fourth-grade Qingxin Mingshen Pill is just an ordinary person?" Master Gu said with a grin.
"What did you say!"
Hearing this, the silver-haired old man stood up suddenly, and his cloudy eyes became much clearer at this time.
Master Gu continued: "The clothes and vouchers have been delivered to the headquarters earlier, so this matter cannot be faked."
"How about it? Why don't you agree to do this for me first, and then I can answer your questions in detail?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Suddenly, the silver-haired old man looked up to the sky and smiled and said: "Okay, okay! You guys just came to me because you were sure of me."
"Tell me how you want me to help you."
"No hurry, no rush." After hearing that the silver-haired old man finally agreed to help him, Master Gu immediately stepped forward to pour tea and water for him, and said cheerfully: "Let's just wait and see what happens. It will be our turn to appear when the time comes. Shown."
As they talked, the two old friends who had known each other for decades took a sip of tea and looked at the two people facing each other on the high platform with interest.
