"Okay, I think everyone already knows their rankings. Those Taoist friends who are ranked in the top 100, please follow me into the crypt. The other Taoist friends ranked 101 to 200 are going to be in the crypt. Twenty days later, if you come here again to participate in the competition, the hour will still be Chen hour. And so on."
"Of course, the start and end dates of your competition will also be postponed accordingly, but you don't need to worry about this."
The old man glanced at everyone and saw that everyone had been stimulated, so he slowly spoke.
Everyone felt relieved when they heard Manghuang Mountain's arrangement. It turns out that the two-month limit previously mentioned by the monk named Shu Huaying was calculated from the day when the monk participated in the competition, and was not completely set on today.
Upon hearing this arrangement, the monks who were about to raise objections immediately stopped talking.
The old man looked at everyone and said nothing more. He turned around and walked towards the cave.
Everyone who participated in the competition did not dare to do anything wrong. Except for the monks whose jade medal serial numbers were within 100, everyone else flew back to the palace where they lived.
In a moment, the place returned to its usual tranquility. There were only four Manghuang Mountain monks standing at the entrance of the cave, standing motionless.
Qin Fengming and others followed the old man, entered the cave, and walked diagonally downward for a full ten miles. Suddenly, an underground palace appeared in front of everyone.
The reason why it is said to be an underground palace is because this place is dotted with caves and passages, and the carefully decorated stone chambers are clearly visible. There is a number marked on the stone door of each stone chamber. It seems that after a test, everyone will have to enter the corresponding stone chamber.
After entering the crypt, although there were hundreds of people, they seemed completely silent. There is no sound even if the feet step on the stone, there is only the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. He looked extremely solemn.
The old man from Manghuang Mountain didn't stop for a moment and walked straight into a passage. Not long after, everyone entered an extremely vast cave hall.
The hall here is twenty to thirty feet in size, wide and tall. In the middle, there are six old men in the Chengdan stage sitting calmly. Looking closely, Qin Fengming immediately recognized that these six Chengdan monks were exactly six of the dozens of old men he had seen during the bone age test.
Around the hall, there are twenty foundation-building peak monks. In front of these foundation-building monks, there is a fire-bringing beast.
"Reporting to all deacons, the first batch of fellow Taoists who participated in the test have been brought here." The old man from Manghuang Mountain entered the hall, immediately took a few steps quickly, came to the six old men, and said respectfully.
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, nephew Wang. Please step aside and rest." One of the old men chuckled and waved his hand, letting the old man retreat.
Looking at the monks in front of him, the old man surnamed Li had a slight smile on his face and said with a chuckle:
"My surname is Li, and I and my five junior brothers are here to take charge of this weapon refining competition. First of all, the selected Taoist friends will go to the surrounding apprentices one by one according to the order of numbers to conduct a test of flame control. This is the purpose of the weapon refining competition. first round."
"Then comes the smelting and purification of materials, and finally the refining of spiritual weapons. At each level, monk Manghuang Mountain will judge you and others. All the judgment results will be stored in the jade cards in your hands. After the competition is completed, As long as the jade plaque is handed over to the six of me, your results will be clear at a glance."
"Okay, fellow Taoists, please give me your serial number and go to test the flame control one by one."
Listening to the narration of the old man named Li, these tests did not deviate from what Qin Fengming had in mind.
Following the old man's words, Qin Fengming hurriedly walked through the crowd, walked quickly to a foundation-building monk, and handed the jade token in his hand to the foundation-building monk.
Seeing Qin Fengming's young face and his cultivation at the peak of Foundation Establishment, the Manghuang Mountain monk was stunned on the spot. He had never encountered such a young Peak Establishment monk.
Just when the old man was shocked, a figure flashed and appeared beside the two of them.
"Haha, I will personally preside over this little fellow Taoist's test."
Qin Fengming was stunned for a moment and saw clearly that this person was none other than the Chengdan monk named Li. Qin Fengming was also very puzzled by what this Chengdan monk did.
"Yes, uncle." When the Manghuang Mountain foundation-building monk saw the old man's arrival, he immediately stood up, respectfully handed Qin Fengming's jade plaque to the old man's hand, and then stepped aside.
"Fellow Taoist Qin, you only need to place four spiritual stones in the four grooves of the fire-bringing beast. Under the stimulation of the spiritual power in your body, you can drive the fire-bringing array, and then you can control the flames."
Looking at the young monk in front of him, the old man surnamed Li explained very politely.
As for the young monk in front of him, he had already received a deliberate reminder from the hall master that as long as this monk named Qin Fengming comes to participate in the weapon refining test, all his competitions will be tested by the old man surnamed Li himself. As long as it can meet the established requirements of Manghuang Mountain, it must be kept.
The old man surnamed Li was not surprised at all by the hall master's instructions. When he was testing the bone age at that time, although he did not test the young monk in front of him, with his cultivation in the late stage of becoming an elixir, he could tell at a glance that this The young monk is not old.
He was also shocked that he could have such cultivation at such a young age, and the idea of accepting Qin Fengming as his disciple was also aroused in his heart.
But these old people who have become an elixir know that there are many monks who have such thoughts, even the infant monks, and it will not be their turn to become elixir-level monks anyway.
After hearing the words of the old man surnamed Li, Qin Fengming bowed respectfully and placed the four spiritual stones with a wave of his hand. Then, under the movement of spiritual power in his body, a stream of spiritual power shot out and shot into the fire-drawing beast in front of him. superior.
Immediately, a whining sound suddenly sounded, and with a bang, a pillar of fire as thick as a baby's arm spurted out from the fire-starting beast's mouth. A burst of hot energy quickly spread around.
Qin Fengming was already very familiar with this kind of fire in the center of the earth. After getting a little familiar with the control of the fire beast, he nodded lightly at the old man surnamed Li and said respectfully: "Junior is ready. The next junior can control this fire." Flame, please give me your judgment, seniors.”
After saying this, the spiritual power in Qin Fengming's body moved, and the flames spit out from the fire beast began to slowly change. The color gradually changed from dark to light, and finally turned completely white. There was no pause at all, it seemed extremely smooth and natural.
Seeing the effortless control of the young monk in front of him, even the old man named Li in the Chengdan stage was shocked. He was so proficient in the art of controlling flames, as if he had been controlling this flame for decades. Even he himself did not have this method during the foundation building period.
"Okay, little fellow Taoist Qin has passed this level."
It only took a moment for the old man named Li to speak, and his voice sounded extremely happy.
Upon hearing this, Qin Fengming withdrew his spiritual power, and the scorching flame suddenly disappeared. He did not put away the spiritual stone anymore, but bowed deeply, took the jade token from the old man surnamed Li, turned around and walked towards the stone room marked with number 1.
