The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2841 Southern Heavenly Fire, Northern Galaxy

Lin Chen is skilled in many things. He can at least be considered a master in alchemy, and he has also learned some array formations by being influenced by Lu Yao. He has entered the field of talismans but is far from being proficient. He also has some knowledge of sword talisman techniques, but he really doesn't know anything about weapon crafting.

The weapon-refining competition is in full swing. In the vast Xuanbai Valley, flames soar into the sky, heat waves roll, and various strange phenomena of demonic beasts rise into the air from time to time, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Seeing Lin Chen's curious expression, Gong Jianying explained, "Weapon refining often requires the addition of spiritual blood to increase its activity. Therefore, most weapon refiners choose the blood of spirit-connected demons. This demon blood already possesses extremely high spirituality, and when added to the refining process, it will activate its true form and phantom."

"Generally speaking, the higher the level and the greater the amount of spiritual blood added, the higher the quality and the stronger the power of the magic weapon made from the same materials."

Lin Chen casually asked, "Spiritual blood? Then wouldn't the blood of a cultivator also work?"

"Of course it's possible."

Wanyan Jie chuckled and chimed in, "There is a faction among weapon refiners who believe that humans are the most spiritual beings in the world, and that human blood is the most suitable spiritual blood for refining weapons. Therefore, they often use human blood when refining weapons."

"More moderate weapon refiners will obtain the blood of immortals through exchange or purchase, while evil weapon refiners will directly use the blood of living people for sacrifice to achieve the best effect. Some of these living people are purchased immortal slaves, while others are captured directly. Of course, the latter is usually done secretly so that no one knows about it, otherwise, it is hard to guarantee that righteous people will not want to eliminate evil."

As they chatted, they entered the inner area. Thanks to Wanyan Jie's status as the young sect leader, they were quickly led to a viewing platform with an excellent view.

In the stands, there were many distinguished guests, men and women, young and old, each one a big shot with an imposing presence.

As the young sect leader, Wanyan Jie was naturally recognized by many people. After a round of greetings, Gong Jianying's identity was also revealed, and another round of polite exchanges ensued.

This was naturally none of Lin Chen's business, so Lin Chen sat in his seat and watched the game.

The weapon-refining competition had reached its mid-to-late stages, and everyone who remained on the field was highly skilled. Lin Chen looked at them one by one, and although he couldn't understand them, they all seemed incredibly powerful.

Just then, an elderly man with white hair walked in from the entrance, and a large number of people around him immediately stood up.

"Mr. Su!"

"Sect Master Su!"

The white-haired old man nodded to the crowd, a slight smile appearing on his previously serious face: "You all seem to be in high spirits; quite a few people have come."

"Such a grand event, of course we must come and witness it, and see the brilliance of all the masters!" "Sect Master Su will surely take first place this time, we congratulate him in advance."

"I have a magical artifact that I haven't been able to refine properly. Now that there are so many master craftsmen here, I'd like to see if there's a chance to refine it properly."

Everyone who knew the white-haired old man smiled and complimented him.

The white-haired old man waved his hand: "Don't flatter me. I'm afraid I won't be able to beat Dai Yunshen in this competition."

Gong Jianying walked back to Lin Chen's side and introduced him in a low voice: "This is Su Hao, the sect master of the Star River Sect. The Star River Sect is very powerful, with hundreds of thousands of disciples. Apart from cultivation, their greatest strength is in weapon crafting. They are a top-tier weapon crafting sect."

"Sect Master Su's weapon-refining skills are as strong as my master's, while Dai Yunshen, whom he mentioned, is the Vice Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect and the Peak Master of the Weapon-Refining Peak. His weapon-refining skills are equally formidable."

"The Heavenly Fire Sect and the Star River Sect are both top-tier sects with formidable strength. Since both sects excel in weapon crafting, they always want to determine a winner whenever they clash in weapon crafting. Because they have fought many times with similar results, or even tied on several occasions, there is a saying in the weapon crafting world: 'Heavenly Fire in the South, Star River in the North.'"

Lin Chen chuckled: "You seem to know a lot about these things."

Gong Jianying chuckled and explained, "My master is also good at weapon forging. My sixth senior brother learned weapon forging skills from my master. He likes to travel around the world, and when he comes back, he tells us stories. These are all stories that my sixth senior brother told us."

As the host, Wanyan Jie naturally went up to greet Su Hao. When he mentioned that he had come with a guest from Taixu Mountain, Su Hao's eyes lit up: "Master Taixu has arrived?"

Wanyan Jie quickly explained, "Uncle-Master Taixu is busy exploring the new world and cannot leave for the time being, so it was his disciple who came..."

Su Hao pressed further, "Is it the sixth disciple, Zhou Daodao?"

Wanyan Jie replied, "It is my twelfth disciple, Gong Jianying."

Su Hao's face showed disappointment: "Sigh, if they were here, I might have had a chance to beat Dai Yunshen."

Wanyan Jie asked curiously, "Why do you say that, senior?"
