"Okay, okay!" The elders who had been paying attention to their four most outstanding disciples cheered continuously.
Especially Zhou Xinxin is extremely proud, because the girl he has chosen is a good prospect, and she has successfully drawn all the talisman papers into talismans, and currently ranks first.
Although each apprentice's performance is only compared with that of his peers in his area, as long as he ranks among the top 100 in his Spirit Talisman Hall, he can be selected as an outer sect and become a formal disciple of the Sanye Sect, but it is different with the elders. , they will set up a list in private, covering all apprentices. If they can enter the top ten of this list, they will receive additional rewards. This is also the tacit approval of the sect's senior leaders. Although they will not get anything substantial, as long as the more apprentices in their area squeeze into this list, they will eventually have more face in front of the elders. This kind of spiritual enjoyment is actually for people of their level. more important.
"Would it be too boring for us to just watch like this? Why don't we make a bet? Anyway, idle time is idle, hehe." Zhou Xinxin suddenly suggested.
"How do you want to play?" A horse-faced elder from the inner sect named Chang immediately became energetic and asked with bright eyes. Apparently he also had this hobby.
When Zhou Xinxin saw someone responding, he rubbed his hands together with excitement and said with a smile: "Hey, let's bet on who will win the first place this year. Everyone chooses the target to bet on, and the winner takes all!"
"Then what if everyone chooses the same person?" Another elder named Shi from the inner sect raised his eyebrows and suddenly asked.
"How is this possible? I choose the seedling I am optimistic about, Situ Shaomei, and bet on an eighth-grade talisman, Thousand Fire Burning City Talisman. You choose!" Zhou Xinxin rolled his eyes and straightforwardly chose the girl from the Southern Spirit Talisman Hall.
"You guys, aren't you forcing us to only bet on eighth-grade talismans?" An elder named Mu from the Northern Spirit Talisman Hall pointed at Zhou Xinxin.
"Of course, if you bet on the seventh-grade talisman, even if you win with me, you can only get something of the same value as the seventh-grade talisman, hehe." Zhou Xinxin said with a sly smile.
"Hmph, who said I would choose the same person as you? Of course I choose the apprentice of our own Northern Spirit Talisman Palace. It's him, Han Feng, with an eighth-grade Talisman and a Hundred Miles Ice Talisman!" This apprentice from the Northern Spirit Talisman Palace The elder snorted coldly and immediately retorted.
"Okay, let's buy it and leave, who else is there?" Zhou Xinxin glanced at them and shouted.
"Western, Mo Li, a seventh-grade talisman with water dragon chant!" An elder from the Western Spirit Talisman Palace also participated.
"Dongfang, Zhu Dannuo, a seventh-grade talisman and a hundred-mile earth escape talisman!" An elder from the Eastern Spirit Talisman Hall came in with a smile.
However, both the Eastern and Western Spirit Talisman Halls became very cautious and only placed a bet on a seventh-grade Talisman.
"Elder Chang, don't you give me a hand?" Zhou Xinxin looked at the horse-faced elder at the inner door with a smile.
"Haha, how could I be absent!" Elder Chang from the inner sect said immediately, "I also choose Situ Shaomei from the south, an eighth-level talisman and a ten thousand Ren talisman!"
"It's wise, Elder Chang, but you and I won together. How should we calculate this? Elder Bei Mu's Baili Ice Talisman is not an ordinary thing. It is definitely worthy of five or six seventh-grade talismans." Zhou Xinxin looked at the inner door. Elder Chang said with a worried look on his face, as if he already had a chance to win.
"Go, go, go, you think you will definitely win?!" Elder Mu from the north said breathlessly.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell you in advance. Situ Shaomei just didn't adapt to the environment here in the first round. She will bring bigger surprises to everyone in the second round!" Zhou Xinxin rubbed his hands and said proudly.
"Humph, it's just the beginning, it's too early to say anything!" Elder Mu from the north snorted.
"Then just wait and see, hehe!" Zhou Xinxin said excitedly.
It was an uneventful night. After a night's rest, Han Feng was full of energy. He got up early in the morning and practiced a set of Qi Condensing Baguazhang. After eating the breakfast transmitted out of thin air, he continued to cook the second batch of talisman paper and talisman ink. .
With the experience of the last furnace, his understanding of the environment and various spiritual materials here has been greatly deepened, so he became more proficient and relaxed in operating the second furnace, and the final result also made him very satisfied. It was also ten The difference is that the proportion of silver talisman paper reached 60%.
His confidence greatly increased, and after recovering his soul power, he struck while the iron was hot and transformed all the talismans into fireball talismans. It was also 100% successful.
The entire operation process of his second furnace was recorded by the formation, and was presented to all the elders through the mirror formed by spiritual power suspended in the air.
In addition to him, the images of more than a dozen other apprentices were also presented in front of the elders.
"Haha, although Han Feng has increased the production rate of silver talisman paper by 10%, Situ Shaomei has jumped directly to the production rate of 80% silver talisman paper, and the others have also maintained below the 50% silver talisman paper production rate. , I think you should just admit defeat in advance!" Zhou Xinxin laughed.
"It's only the second furnace, why are you so anxious?" Elder Mu from the north glared.
"No rush, no rush, I'll take a nap first, and you guys will take your time and watch!" Zhou Xinxin said proudly, and after saying that, he lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
"What a ghost!" Elder Mu said with a dumb smile. The other elders couldn't help but smile on their faces.
Time flew by, and the apprentice competition had already reached the fifth day without even realizing it.
Han Feng took another step forward on the third and fourth days, raising the production rate to 70% of the silver talisman paper. There was no mistake when drawing the talismans, and everything was 100% complete.
But on the fifth day, Han Feng didn't know why, but the production rate of silver talisman paper suddenly dropped back to 60%. Fortunately, there was no mistake when drawing the talisman, and the broken talisman did not appear.
But several others were steadily improving on this day. Mo Li from the east and Zhu Dannuo from the west both improved to a 60% production rate of silver talisman paper. Especially Situ Shaomei maintained an 80% production rate of silver talisman paper for three consecutive days. Under such circumstances, the breakthrough reached 90% on this day, which made Zhou Xinxin, who had just woken up, extremely happy. Even several other elders who had not placed any bets felt that he was sure to win.
Han Feng didn't rest at this moment, he was immersed in thinking. Originally he wanted to make a breakthrough, so he tried to slightly adjust the operation details today. He did not expect that the experiment failed. Fortunately, no major chaos occurred.
"It would be nice if the earth fire could be more intense. Maybe we could lock in the spiritual power of all spiritual materials faster!" After a night of reflection, Han Feng found the reason, which was that the earth fire was not intense enough.
So on the sixth day, after he finished practicing and slowly sorted out his thoughts, he began to study the earth fire. After repeated inspections by releasing his soul power, he found that the earth fire could be controlled in size. He usually used the identity jade token to control the size of the earth fire. The intensity of the activated earth fire is only moderate. In fact, it can be adjusted to the intensity you need through soul power.
