"If there truly is a genius who can forge a foundation-building magical instrument with a Qi-cultivating body, then it doesn't matter whose child she is. Her appearance is a blessing for the entire refining world."

"This means that she has the potential to refine a Golden Core magical weapon without breaking through to the Golden Core stage!"

Chu Yingshi spoke softly.

But it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds on the hearts of the four people.

Yes.

As weapon refiners, they had never seen a golden elixir weapon. It would be a shame to tell others about it.

If you can see it in Xia Yuke's hands, it will be a blessing for all weapon refiners!

Think about this.

Even Chu Lie clenched his fists, as if he was feeling a little conflicted.

Xia Yuke's refining of the foundation-building magic weapon was certainly a shock to the judges.

But it was an even more severe blow to the other players.

On the playing field.

Many people were surprised and began to sigh.

And the three seeded players Chu Xuannan found out about were—

Wang Yuan, who was originally planning to try his best to refine a Qi-training magic weapon and win the first place in one fell swoop, was so frightened when he saw Xia Yuke was going to refine a foundation-building magic weapon that his hands shook and he almost ruined a whole furnace of materials.

He exchanged glances with Wei Yan and Chu Kang beside him, all of them in disbelief.

It's not like he hadn't heard before that the daughter of the Xia family had an extraordinary talent for refining weapons, but he thought that her talent was at most similar to his, or slightly better than his.

But I didn't expect it to reach this level.

He smiled wryly and shook his head.

Looking at the blazing fire in front of him, he lost his previous interest in refining equipment. He felt that the competition was boring and even slowed down the method of melting materials.

In contrast, Wei Yan and Chu Kang increased the speed of refining the weapons in their hands.

Wei Yan felt that since she and Xia Yuke were both women and both were so capable, even if she was going to lose, she had to lose in a dignified manner.

Chu Kang’s idea was also very simple.

He and Xia Yuke had known each other since childhood. After all, Xia Yuke often came to the Chu family to visit her aunt Chu Xuannan.

The Chu family had high hopes for him in this competition, especially his father Chu Lie.

If Xia Yuke had refined a foundation-building magic weapon, and he couldn't even get second place, then if he failed the competition, he wouldn't know how badly he would be beaten by his grandfather.

Seeing the three seeded players, they had different reactions under Xia Yuke's stimulation.

Lu Zhiqiu couldn't help but smile with joy in the audience.

Xia Yuke really lived up to her expectations. It was worth it that she had been using the method of turning objects into swords for the past three days and had spent a lot of spiritual energy to let Xia Yuke observe the foundation-building level magic weapon.

only……

Soon, Chu Xuannan discovered something unusual.

She pointed at a man with a rat-like beard beside her and said in surprise:

"Miss Lu, look, that's the aura coming from the refining furnace...it seems to be a foundation-building level magic weapon as well."

Lu Zhiqiu was startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

Sure enough, I sensed a faint foundation-building aura coming from this person's furnace.

She looked strange and murmured:

"Is this Xilan Realm so blessed with natural beauty?"

"This is clearly a youth refining competition that only allows refiners under the age of 30 to participate, yet two geniuses who can refine foundation-building magic tools have appeared."

It's not just Lu Zhiqiu and Xia Yuke.

At this time, others also noticed this unprepossessing man with a rat-like beard.

For a time, discussions arose everywhere.

"What's wrong with this person? He's also refining a foundation-building magic weapon. And judging by the stable fire in his furnace and the balanced aura, it doesn't look like he's forcing it. It seems like he has a good chance of success."

"I don't know. I didn't see him getting foundation-building materials just now. How could he be refining a foundation-building artifact?"

"Brother, you are wrong. Don't you see that Wei Yan has mastered the mysterious technique that can improve the grade of magic weapons? Perhaps this person is also using the Qi training materials to refine them while upgrading to the foundation building stage."

……

As he listened, Lu Zhiqiu felt something was wrong.

She thought that she had only paid attention to Xia Yuke before, so she didn't see this person getting the foundation-building materials.

But from what everyone said, it seems that this person really did not go to get the materials, and only used Qi training level materials.

If this person also masters the secret method of upgrading.

It always feels a bit far-fetched.

How could such a mysterious secret technique be something you can easily find on the street?

Moreover, Wei Yan's upgrade is only from low grade to medium grade, and from medium grade to high grade, but he cannot cross to a higher realm.

Lu Zhiqiu thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

We can only give up temporarily.

……

The sky changes from morning to dusk, and from dusk to morning.

soon.

Six sleepless days and nights passed.

Fortunately, all the participants in the competition are Qi training-level cultivators with strong vitality. Even if they go without food and water for six days, they will not be on the verge of death, but just a little weak.

at this time.

Many people's works have been gradually released.

Being one of the eighty-one contestants, his talent in refining equipment was naturally recognized by the Chu family.

All the attacks he made were magic weapons of the middle level of Qi training.

Unfortunately, the fact that they were able to refine it at this time meant that they were no longer qualified to continue competing.

Because of the remaining eleven people.

They are all striving to obtain high-grade magic weapons for Qi training.

Even Wang Yuan, Wei Yan and others were brewing the best magic weapon for Qi training.

In previous youth weapon refining competitions, such results would definitely make him the perfect choice to win.

pity.

The focus of this session is clearly not them.

As for the other two people - Xia Yuke and the man with rat-like beard.

The fire in Xia Yuke's furnace was burning fiercely, and she was staring at the furnace intently, adjusting the temperature from time to time, or using water spiritual power to refine the embryo.

He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Of course, hard work pays off, and the aura of the foundation-building magic weapon in the furnace becomes increasingly strong.

A faint sound could be heard.

the other side.

The man with the rat-like beard looked even more relaxed than Xia Yuke.

His face showed a calm expression. He input spiritual energy into the furnace mouth with one hand and put the other hand behind his back. The foundation-building aura in the furnace was actually growing.

Lu Zhiqiu felt even more strange.

This person didn't use any method to upgrade his level, so how come he could use Qi training grade materials to make a magical instrument with foundation-building aura?

Remember that even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Without materials, it is impossible to make magical instruments of the corresponding level.

During these six days, Lu Zhiqiu also heard the five elders on the judging panel discussing this person.

They conducted a detailed investigation on the man with the rat-beard, but could not find any trace of his past.

When the man with the rat-beard signed up, he only said that he was practicing in the mountains, had occasionally received a legacy, and was not traveling in the world.

The five judges all felt that this was abnormal, but they couldn't say anything more.

I can only secretly raise my vigilance and hope that he is not here to cause trouble.

gradually.

The smile on the rat-bearded man's lips grew wider and wider, making Lu Zhiqiu very uncomfortable.

She suddenly thought of it.

Back in the Dayan Dynasty, the Xu family's Chunlai Armor seemed to be a mid-grade foundation-building magic weapon, but it burst out with a defensive power that was enough to withstand a quasi-golden elixir battle during the war.

The reason is that it was re-cast and made into a disposable magic weapon, so its power was naturally greatly increased.

If the rat-bearded man also made a disposable magic weapon, then it would make sense to use Qi training grade materials to refine it at a higher grade.

So, what's best to make a disposable...

Explosive weapons, of course.

Think about this.

A thought flashed through Lu Zhiqiu's mind, making her break out in a cold sweat.

Is the Chu family's black blood pool nearby?

The Long River of Clear Tears: Chapter 16: The Arrival of the Golden Elixir

Lu Zhiqiu slapped his forehead and realized that he had forgotten to use the Zhaoshi Book to take a look.

I was just about to contact the Book of the World to see where the man with the rat-like mustache came from.

Bang.

The rat-bearded man's refining furnace...exploded.

Under the man's intentional control, the impact of the explosion did not spread around, but went straight upwards, blasting a deep hole in the waist of Changxu Mountain nearby, leading directly to the core of the mountain.

This attack was extremely powerful and launched very quickly.

Although the mountain was equipped with a protective formation, it was torn apart by this attack before it could be fully activated and exert its full power.

He laughed heartily, pinched his whiskers, and tore off the entire mask, revealing his old face.

"Old Ghost Zheng, it's actually you!"

"This is a youth weapon refining competition. You, an old immortal with half your body buried in the ground, actually managed to hide it from us and secretly participate in it. Aren't you ashamed?"

Chu Yingshi, the head of the Chu family, stood up and slammed the table, angrily speaking.

This old man Zheng is the foundation-building elder of the Zheng family. No one knows how he managed to sneak in right under his nose.

The most important thing is that he blew a hole in the mountain. Inside that mountain, there was...

Chu Yingshi didn't dare to think about it anymore and just prayed that the furnace explosion was a coincidence.

The old man Zheng ignored him, quickly took out a jade talisman from his arms, and crushed it hard.

"We respectfully invite the twenty-fifth immortal of the Huatian Sect to come!"

"My Immortal, I have long suspected that some noble families are secretly violating regulations when collecting blood and qi, and are using inferior products as substitutes for the real ones."

"After all these years of hard work, I finally found out that there's a secret hidden within this mountain."

"Today, I will blast this mountain apart for you. Please grant me your judgment."
