Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that the geomagnetic pole mountain was about to crash down, he suddenly raised his hand and stopped Zhang Yan's attack.

At that moment, he understood what Zhang Yan meant.

Because they were competing in terms of attack power, Zhang Yan resorted to trickery.

Under normal circumstances, the creation of magical artifacts is limited by the materials used and the user's level of magical power. Therefore, when making them, people tend to make them as small as possible.

Only in this way can the value of the materials be brought into play.

But Zhang Yan is now doing the opposite.

He made the magic weapon bigger and used a lot of materials.

Normally, Zhang Yan only needs 1 jin of geomagnetic spirit iron to refine this geomagnetic primordial mountain, which would be just right for a Golden Core cultivator.

It can also create high-grade or even top-grade magic weapons of the third rank.

But what is Zhang Yan doing now?

He used hundreds of kilograms of geomagnetic spirit iron to transform this geomagnetic primordial mountain into an extremely large magical artifact.

Although its grade is still mid-grade third tier...

However, in terms of power alone, it is absolutely no weaker than a top-grade third-tier magic weapon, or even a fourth-tier magic weapon.

Let alone his mighty cudgel.

He even suspected that even a genuine fourth-tier magic weapon could not easily defeat Zhang Yan's geomagnetic pole mountain.

"you!"

"you……"

Huang Lian's eyes widened; he was at a loss for words.

You said Zhang Yan didn't win, right?

But the other party did indeed create a top-grade third-tier magic weapon.

Its power might even surpass his.

But you could say he won.

Huang Lian was still somewhat unconvinced.

Why!

How could they possibly win?
Is this also possible?

"What's wrong with me?"

"Haven't you heard the saying?"

"What?"

Huang Lian asked Zhang Yan through gritted teeth.

"Big is good, and good is big."

Zhang Yan said it with absolute certainty.

"fallacy!"

"fallacy!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Lian nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Damn it.

What is this nonsense!

Suddenly.

Huang Lian suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

Then he asked Zhang Yan, "The magical treasures we weapon refiners create are mainly for practical use, right?"

"good."

Zhang Yan nodded, acknowledging the other party's statement.

The main problem is that you can't deny it either. If a weapon refiner creates a magical artifact and doesn't use it, are you going to save it for the New Year?
"Third-tier magic treasures are mainly used by Golden Core cultivators."

"You've crafted such a massive magic weapon; which Golden Core cultivator could possibly use it?"

"But once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, who would still use a third-tier magic weapon!"

Huang Lian protested to Zhang Yan, and then looked at the referee: "Elder, Deacon, I think this is very unreasonable."

"This……"

The deacon acting as referee glanced at Huang Lian, then at Zhang Yan.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

All they could see were those seven terrifying figures on the horizon.

however……

Silence followed.

At this moment, they were also somewhat bewildered.

They are all at the True Self Realm of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Even if some people are cultivators from the lower realms who ascended to the upper realms, they are not very good at refining magic weapons.

but!

Over such a long period of time, even a pig would become very familiar with the crafting of magical artifacts through exposure to such techniques.

So they understand.

Zhang Yan's magic weapon exploits a loophole!
Explore loopholes.

But they never expected Zhang Yan to do this.

After several breaths, someone finally spoke slowly: "This magic weapon is indeed a bit of a waste; it's not something a Golden Core cultivator can use."

"Wait!"

Hear this.

Zhang Yan suddenly spoke up: "Seniors, this magic weapon was crafted by me for myself!"

"After all, I am also a Golden Core cultivator, and I have just advanced to the Golden Core stage. I am only at the early stage of the Golden Core stage, so I do not yet have a suitable magic weapon. Since the sect has asked us to forge magic weapons ourselves, I have created one according to my own design."

"I think……"

"This magic weapon is quite good, and it's very easy to activate."

As he spoke, he released the magical power within his body. As his magical power was released, the geomagnetic pole mountain continued to grow larger and larger.

It almost blotted out the sky, covering the entire sky.

And directly below this geomagnetic pole mountain is Huang Lian.

"Zhang Yan, be careful!"

"You absolutely mustn't make a mistake!"

Seeing this, Huang Lian's face turned pale.

Damn it, with such a huge mountain pressing down on him, it's hard not to be afraid.

and……

This mountain-shaped magical artifact is the most detestable. It relies solely on brute force to suppress people and doesn't possess many supernatural abilities. This means that if you want to break through its attack, you can only withstand it head-on.

You either shatter it or withstand its magic weapon.

Either you get crushed by the other side.

It's that simple and crude.

This simple method even makes one wonder if it's not a battle of wits!

"Sigh~"

now.

The crowd below the stage couldn't help but gasp when they saw the geomagnetic pole mountain activated by Zhang Yan's magic.

This is terrifying.

This thing...

Is it really possible for an ordinary Golden Core cultivator to control it?
For a moment, they all fell silent.

This is too fake!

"How can he have so much magic power?"

"Yes, you see, although he is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, the quantity and quality of his magical power surpass those of cultivators at the late stage of the Golden Core realm."

"so……"

"What the other party said is correct. This geomagnetic pole mountain may indeed have been created for himself..."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

That's a blow!

"If that's the case, then it's Zhang Yansheng!"

Seeing that Zhang Yan could freely manipulate the geomagnetic pole mountain, even cultivators at the True Self Realm had nothing to say.

We can only declare Zhang Yan the winner.

"Thank you everyone!"

Upon hearing that he had won, Zhang Yan's face lit up with a joyful smile.

in this way……

On our side, we've already won two out of five games.

If they win just one more time, then they'll have the victory in the bag.

Think of this.

He stepped off the stage.

Then they waited quietly for the third match.

This competition is about designing magical artifacts.

Zhang Yan did not participate in this competition because he didn't really know much about it.

Most of the magical artifacts he had previously crafted were based on blueprints.

A small number of people had the magical artifacts they needed, and they weren't very complicated, so they didn't participate.

And they quickly won the match.

Unsurprisingly.

The cultivators from the upper realm won.

Actually, the reason is quite simple.

The main reason is that this competition itself was unfair.

Where have those cultivators from the lower realms received such an education?

The blueprints for the magical artifacts that were designed were not bad.

But it's just average.

The blueprints for those magical artifacts designed by the cultivators from the upper realm were, undeniably, exquisitely crafted, truly deserving of the Divine Weapon Pavilion's reputation. "Whoosh~"

Seeing that the cultivators from the upper realm had won, the cultivators from the upper realm also breathed a sigh of relief.

We finally won a game.

This made things look better on the surface.

With the third match over, the fourth match will be a test of comprehension.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan smiled.

His comprehension...

Absolutely true.

This is something that Huo Ling Tianjun and others know best.

After all, Zhang Yan was a genius who had mastered the foundation of thirty-six spells.

Moreover, all thirty-six magical spells have been perfected.

Therefore, no one doubted Zhang Yan's comprehension.

Unfortunately...

He was stopped before he could go up.

"what happened?"

Zhang Yan looked at the referee with some confusion.

"You can't go up there."

Why can't I go up?

Zhang Yan's face darkened.

"This is not my opinion, but the will of the Heavenly Emperor."

The referee also spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Ok?"

"What does the Heavenly Emperor mean?"

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at the seven Heavenly Lords.

now.

Although the seven Heavenly Lords appeared to be making no move, they had actually begun to communicate with each other using their divine senses.

Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord: "Why can't Zhang Yan go on stage?"
Isn't he a cultivator from the lower realms?

"If he goes up there, wouldn't that be unfair?"

"We absolutely cannot let him go on stage!" Faced with the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord's questioning, the Heavenly Lords of the Upper Realm also directly replied: "A person can only go on stage three times. He has already gone on stage twice. Didn't you say that he is also good at appraising treasures?"
Let him participate in the treasure appraisal instead; we absolutely cannot let him participate in the comprehension test.

to be frank.

The Heavenly Lord of the Upper Realm's statement already carries a hint of cheating.

It even has a sense of being unable to accept defeat.

but……

There is nothing they can do.

It would be too painful to lose.

Not only are they losing face, but they also have to hand over a lot of resources, so they've really lost all sense of shame.

Seeing that the other party was cheating.

Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord was speechless for a moment.

They are the Heavenly Emperors!
But when they heard the other party say that Zhang Yan could participate in the treasure appraisal...

Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord's eyes lit up slightly, then he said reluctantly, "No, Zhang Yan must participate in this competition. We can win!"

"This way, this way."

"Don't let him participate in this competition. Let him participate in the next one. If we lose, we'll give you an extra 10% of the resources." At this moment, the cultivators from the upper realm discussed for a while and finally spoke up.

"No."

Why should we give you this opportunity?

"Just for this one tenth of the resources?"

"There's no need, absolutely no need. If we lose, we'll lose 70% of our resources. You're asking for this much in exchange for only 10% of our resources?"
Do you think it's possible?

Upon hearing what the other party said, Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord immediately launched into a tirade.

No face at all.

"Then tell me, what do you want?"

Seeing the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord's face, the Heavenly Lords of the Upper Realm also asked with some worry.

They cannot lose!!

If we win this game, there's still hope.

"It's simple, I want the qualifications for ten secret realms," Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord said to them.

"Secret realm?"

"You mean that secret realm?"

"Yes, that's right, it's the ten resources from the Xuanhuang Secret Realm."

Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord nodded slightly, readily acknowledging the matter.

"it is good!"

"I'll give you ten qualifications."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators from the upper realm didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement.

"No, I'm talking about ten qualifications, which will forever belong to us cultivators from the lower realms."

Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord shook his head slightly and spoke to these people.

"What?"

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Upon hearing what the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord said, the cultivators from the Upper Realm immediately flew into a rage.

How could we possibly give that to them!
The Xuanhuang Secret Realm was the most precious secret realm they possessed.

Only thirty-six people are allowed to enter at any one time.

Six of them were occupied by cultivators from the lower realms.

Twenty of them were occupied by cultivators from the upper realm.

If it were just a one-off occurrence, and ten qualifications were given to cultivators from lower realms, then so be it.

But what if we were to say that ten permanent qualifications would be given to cultivators in the lower realms?

That would be such a waste.

"Ten won't do, so eight will do. That's my limit. Otherwise, you can just wait to lose this bet."

Seeing that the other party was so uncooperative, Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord snorted coldly.

"you!"

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperors of the Upper Realm were also in a bit of a mess.

They don't want to lose.

They don't want to offer those qualifications.

"We will definitely win this round. The next treasure appraisal will actually be an advantage for us cultivators from the upper realm."

"At that time, we can bring out some unique magical treasures from the upper realm and have them appraise them. I don't believe that those cultivators from the lower realm can identify them."

at this time.

The divine senses of the celestial rulers in the upper realms also exchanged rapidly.

In an instant.

They gained unanimous approval during this period.

"Okay, let's bet!"

The Heavenly Lord of the Upper Realm spoke to the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord.

"Good, that's courageous!"

A smile appeared on the face of the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord.

They looked at each other with open and honest eyes.

That gaze was as if looking at a pile of walking treasures.

And at the same time.

After being stopped, Zhang Yan could only return to the ranks of the lower realm cultivators in a dejected manner.

Then someone else went up.

"No, what right do they have?!"

Why not let Senior Brother Zhang go up?

"Are the cultivators from the upper realm afraid?"

Seeing Zhang Yan retreat, the cultivators from the lower realms immediately spoke up indignantly.

Although they didn't spend much time with Zhang Yan.

However, because of the series of actions taken by the Divine Weapon Pavilion, they formed an even stronger bond.

after all……

Under the oppression of the upper realm, cultivators in the lower realm can only survive by banding together for warmth.

Moreover, when cultivators from the upper realm bullied them, it was usually Zhang Yan who stood up for them.

Therefore, they naturally disapproved of these behaviors.

"Alright, since the senior doesn't want me to go up, there must be a reason behind it. Let's not speculate wildly."

Zhang Yan didn't really care whether he could go on stage or not.

He had already received a telepathic message from the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord, informing him that he would be playing in the next match.

And what's the next match?
That would naturally be treasure appraisal!
When others challenged him to a contest of antique appraisal, Zhang Yan couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of it.

As for what makes him laugh.

Ordinary people might not understand it.

However, he believed that the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord felt the same way as him.

The fourth match is a test of comprehension.

The competition was conducted in a rather unusual way: participants were given a strange rune to decipher.

Whoever comprehends the most and most comprehensively within the allotted time wins.

Upon seeing the strange runes, Zhang Yan's eyes flickered with a moment of disorientation.

He was somewhat interested in this rune. (End of Chapter)
