Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

The flying sword that Huang Lian took out was a very strange-looking flying sword.

That's why it's described as strange.

Because this flying sword looks crystal clear, like a work of art, it doesn't look like a flying sword used for combat at all.

"This is a flying sword I crafted based on the knowledge taught by my teacher. It is a top-grade third-tier flying sword."

As he said this, a proud look appeared on his face.

A top-grade third-tier flying sword was not a difficult task for him.

After all, when he competed against Zhang Yan before, he was already able to forge a top-tier third-order flying sword that was almost comparable to a fourth-order flying sword.

While this third-tier top-grade flying sword is quite strong, it is still somewhat inferior to the flying sword he forged on the arena.

Even so, this single skill with a top-grade third-tier flying sword is enough for Huang Lian to display his divine power here.

because……

In Huang Lian's opinion, everyone present except for Chi Lian Tianjun was trash!

worthless.

As for Zhang Yan?

That's just a joke!

Moreover, the reason he forged an ordinary third-tier top-grade flying sword, instead of a half-step fourth-tier flying sword like last time, was because he forged an ordinary third-tier top-grade flying sword.

that is because……

When he was forging this flying sword, he directly incorporated all the things that the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord had explained about forging into it.

Although it wasn't perfect.

However, he has absorbed about 60% of the knowledge taught by the Crimson Heavenly Lord.

In such a short time, I absorbed 60% of the knowledge.

He has every reason to be proud!

"good."

Chi Lian Tianjun took Huang Lian's flying sword in his hand and examined it carefully. He nodded slightly and said, "You've put in a lot of effort."

Clearly, the Crimson Heavenly Lord highly regards this disciple of his.

even though……

He initially accepted the other person as his apprentice for some special reasons.

But after spending a long time with him, he has been impressed by Huang Lian's talent.

This is his personally trained disciple!
"Senior Brother Huang Lian is truly a divine being!"

"Senior Brother Huang Lian is truly amazing!"

Upon hearing that even the Crimson Heavenly Lord was praising the other party, everyone present immediately echoed his sentiments.

Even Zhang Yan thought that the flying sword the other party had forged was indeed quite good.

Although it's not quite as good as his.

"Zhang Yan, where is the flying sword you forged?"

"Aren't you going to take it out and let the teacher see it?"

At this moment, Huang Lian looked at Zhang Yan with a provocative look in his eyes.

"Haha, Senior Brother Huang really holds a grudge!"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Zhang Yan burst into laughter.

Then he also took out his own third-tier flying sword.

Compared to his opponent's flying sword, Zhang Yan's flying sword looked rather ordinary.

It was just an ordinary flying sword.

It doesn't even have any complex patterns.

But even so.

The moment he took out the flying sword, Huang Lian's expression instantly turned ugly.

"You fly..."

His eyes widened as he looked at Zhang Yan in disbelief: "This is a top-grade third-tier flying sword!"

"You actually forged a top-grade third-tier flying sword?"

"But last time you were only able to refine a high-grade third-tier magic weapon, weren't you?"

Huang Lian's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

The other side is progressing too fast.

He even suspected that if the other party continued like this, they might forge a fourth-tier magic weapon before him.

Thinking about this made his scalp tingle.

"That's right, last time I refined a high-grade third-tier magic weapon, but are you not allowing people to improve?"

"Could it be that someone has been doing this for so long and hasn't made any progress?"

Zhang Yan looked at the other person with a teasing expression.

"you!"

Huang Lian understood what the other party meant. He felt that he had been using a third-tier magic weapon for so long and had not made any progress.

But he didn't think about it.

Are fourth-tier magic weapons so easy to forge?
A third-tier top-grade magic weapon, a half-step fourth-tier magic weapon, and a fourth-tier magic weapon—there's a difference in tiers between them!
Don't be fooled by his current ability to refine half-step fourth-tier magic weapons at full power; it's simply unrealistic to expect him to actually refine a fourth-tier magic weapon.

It cannot be refined.

It simply cannot be refined.

"Hmph, so what if you've crafted a top-grade third-tier magic weapon?"

"My flying sword is also a top-grade third-tier magic weapon. It's not certain who will win between the two of us!"

Huang Lian looked at Zhang Yan with a gloomy expression and said in a cold voice.

"It doesn't matter. Who wins and who loses will be judged by the Heavenly Emperor. It's not something the two of us can control," Zhang Yan said noncommittally in the face of Huang Lian's provocation.

After he finished speaking, he presented the magic weapon to the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of my magical treasure?"

Zhang Yan spoke in a very calm voice.

"Your magic weapon..."

Crimson Heavenly Lord looked at the flying sword in his hand.

His gaze sharpened.

Then his brows furrowed.

After a long while, he finally raised his head and looked at Zhang Yan with some disbelief: "You forged this flying sword?"

"It's natural."

Zhang Yan nodded without hesitation.

"This……"

He looked at Zhang Yan with some shock: "The flying sword you forged is excellent, you could even say it's perfect!"

"You've perfectly incorporated all the knowledge I taught in the last lesson, without missing a single detail!"

"In all the time I've taught weapon crafting, I've never seen such a talented student as you."

When Chi Lian Tianjun said this, his expression was somewhat complicated.

He is the Heavenly Emperor of the Upper Realm.

And Zhang Yan, standing before them, is the culprit who caused the cultivators of the Upper Realm to lose their cultivation resources.

Normally speaking, it would be an extraordinary favor if he didn't discriminate against Zhang Yan.

Letting him attend the class is a special favor.

but now……

He felt that it would be a huge loss for him if Zhang Yan didn't come to his class.

Although this guy...

He was just a cultivator from the lower realms.

Although this guy caused them to lose a lot of resources.

but! !
He truly has a talent for weapon crafting!
Moreover, this talent is just too high.

He only explained the knowledge once, and the other party was able to fully understand it. This can be described as a genius that is unprecedented in history!

"No!"

"This is impossible!"

At this moment, Huang Lian couldn't help but voice his doubts.

"Are you cheating? The refining method my master explained is so difficult, how could you have learned it all so easily?"

Huang Lian always considered himself a respectable cultivator.

Moreover, they are also shrewd and calculating.

He is usually serious and unsmiling, able to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses before him.

But seeing Zhang Yan's actions now, he couldn't stand it anymore.

You!
Not normal!
This is too fake!

Others may not know how difficult this is, but Huang Lian knows it perfectly well!

He devoted a great deal of effort to learning more than 60% of the knowledge, and even went to see the Crimson Heavenly Lord. In addition, he also sought guidance from other weapon-refining masters.

That's how I managed to learn about 60%.

But what about Zhang Yan?

One hundred percent so easily?
Is that even possible?!

Absolutely impossible!

This is absolutely cheating!

Judging from his own experience, Huang Lian made a decision almost immediately.

That's definitely not true!
"how?"

"Just because you can't do it yourself, you think others can't?"

Hearing the other person's words, Zhang Yan retorted to Huang Lian without backing down, "Just because you're bad doesn't mean everyone else is bad!"

"I don't believe it!"

Huang Lian said through gritted teeth.

He has no shame at all now.

"Believe it or not."

Zhang Yan didn't care about the other person's feelings at all; did he need the other person to believe him?

I don't believe it at all.

and……

The burden of proof lies with the party raising the question.

If you think there's a problem, then find the evidence!
Zhang Yan had no reason to prove himself based on the other party's suspicions; otherwise, he would have suspected that Huang Lian wasn't born of his mother.

How do you expect Huang Lian to prove himself?

"you!"

Huang Lian was furious when he heard Zhang Yan's words.

"Zhang Yan, did you personally forge this magic weapon?" Crimson Heavenly Lord asked at this moment.

"Yes, of course, this was crafted by a novice disciple." Upon hearing the question from the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

Zhang Yan immediately changed his attitude.

This guy is a pro.

You can't argue with them.

Otherwise, it would be as easy for a Heavenly Lord to crush a Golden Core cultivator as crushing an ant.

Showing off to someone weaker than yourself is called showing off, but showing off to someone stronger than yourself is just being an idiot.

"But I see some techniques here that are very similar to those used by Machu Yuan..."

Crimson Heavenly Lord looked up and said to Zhang Yan.

As the third-ranked weapon refiner in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Chi Lian Tianjun was naturally very familiar with some of his family's famous weapon refiners.

That's why he had this question.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhang Yan; it was mainly because he felt that this method was so similar to Ma Qiuyuan's—no, not just similar, but exactly the same.

Hear the question.

Zhang Yan sighed. He knew that if he didn't explain, there would be no way to continue.

So he immediately said, "That's right, I studied with Ma Qiuyuan after your lecture."

How long have you been studying?

Upon hearing that Zhang Yan had studied under Ma Qiuyuan, Chi Lian Tianjun's expression softened slightly. If Zhang Yan had indeed learned from him, then it was indeed possible that he had forged this flying sword.

"one day……"

Zhang Yan was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.

"one day????"

Upon hearing this, not only Chi Lian Tianjun, but everyone present was stunned.

What the hell.

Can you learn all of someone's skills by studying with them for just one day?

really!
Moreover, everyone knows Ma Qiuyuan's character.

Although the other party is teaching real things.

But he really does procrastinate!

How could someone who tries to break down every little thing into eight pieces possibly teach you everything in a single day?

This is definitely fake!

In this regard.

Zhang Yan was also somewhat helpless.

This is indeed highly suspicious.

But unfortunately, he couldn't lie.

After all, this matter can be easily investigated.

He did indeed only study at Machu Yuan's house for one day!
"Then I wonder if you could forge another flying sword in public?" Crimson Heavenly Lord thought for a moment and asked Zhang Yan.

"of course can."

Zhang Yan nodded upon hearing what Crimson Heavenly Lord said.

He couldn't refuse the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

After all, the other party has a bigger fist.

He has no choice but to listen to the other party.

"Alright, in that case, thank you for your hard work."

Hearing that Zhang Yan was willing to forge a flying sword in public.

A hint of excitement appeared in Chi Lian Tianjun's eyes. He wanted to know whether Zhang Yan was a true genius or a fake one.

If it's fake...

He will make Zhang Yan pay the price then.

But if it really is...

So!

Don't blame him for being unethical and fighting with the celestial lords of the lower realm for people!
Normally, cultivators in the lower realms are under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Lords of the lower realms.

Cultivators in the upper realm are under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Lord of the upper realm.

But there must be exceptions.

For example, if both parties have their eyes on the same person, then no one cares about this unspoken rule.

After all, unspoken rules are always unspoken rules.

You can't bring it up in the open.

"But I have a question..."

At this moment, Zhang Yan looked at Chi Lian Tianjun with some embarrassment.

"You said."

"I'm running out of materials for refining weapons..."

"Well, I was quite poor when I ascended from the lower realm; I didn't have any family fortune..."

At this point, Zhang Yan looked longingly at the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

“That’s easy, come with me.”

"Since I've asked you to forge this weapon, I naturally can't use your materials."

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord immediately burst into laughter.

Then he waved his hand.

He led everyone directly to his weapon-refining room.

This is his own private weapon-refining room.

No one but him can forge weapons here.

Even Huang Lian didn't have it.

However, it is clear that this time an exception was made for Zhang Yan.

"You can refine it right here," Crimson Heavenly Lord said to Zhang Yan with a smile.

"In that case, thank you very much, Heavenly Lord." Upon hearing the other party's words.

Zhang Yan quickly expressed his gratitude.

Then he began refining it in front of everyone.

"Since we've already decided to show off..."

"Then this time I'm going to put on a really cool act!"

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.

Then, gritting my teeth, I started selecting materials.

This is indeed the weapon-forging room of the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord; all kinds of materials are readily available.

Some materials that are very rare on the market are just casually placed on the ground, with no regard for their safety.

After selecting the materials, Huang Lian keenly noticed something amiss.

"Zhang Yan, you chose the wrong materials, didn't you?"

He asked Zhang Yan aloud.

"Whether I'm right or wrong is none of your business. All I need to do is refine the magic weapon, right?" Zhang Yan said to him without any politeness.

"Well, you don't need to worry about the materials. Just refine it the way you want. It doesn't matter if you waste some materials."

The Crimson Heavenly Lord was completely indifferent to these materials.

As a dignified Heavenly Emperor, would he be afraid that Zhang Yan would use materials to make magical treasures and bankrupt him?
Wouldn't that make us a joke?
"it is good!"

With those words, Zhang Yan was completely relieved.

Then, Machu Yuan equipped his forging hammer to his equipment slot, and then fired to forge the magic weapon.

Because he was very familiar with the methods of forging magical artifacts by Machu Yuan.

With the help of Machu Yuan's forging hammer, his refining speed was very fast. In addition, there were many people here, so he didn't have to do some odd jobs, such as purifying some materials.

Someone immediately helped him complete it.

Therefore, it is much easier.

As he gradually completed the forging.

At this moment, Huang Lian suddenly realized a problem.

This Zhang Yan!

He wasn't training a top-grade third-tier flying sword.

He wants to forge a fourth-tier flying sword! (End of Chapter)
