Chapter 719: Refining Contest
Although the scale of Wucheng is less than one percent of that of Xuanyuan City in Tiandu, the liveliness is no less than that of Tiandu. Among the crowds coming and going, you can see a large number of Daluo Jinxian, and even many Taiyi Jinxian.
My affairs in Xuanyuan City, Tiandu seemed to have a greater influence than I expected. As soon as I entered the city, I heard a large number of people talking about it.
"Have you heard that? A very powerful disciple from Tianji Pavilion actually took advantage of the Situ family's quasi-saint in Tiandu to sneak into it and steal the holy weapon Dingfeng Pearl. He also seriously injured the Taiyi Golden Immortals who were chasing Situ Teng and others who were chasing him and left safely."
"Is it Jiang Chengzi? And a long time ago, I heard that the Situ family asked Tianji Pavilion to make a holy weapon. Could it be this Dingfeng Pearl? But since Tianji Pavilion has traded with the Situ family in this way, it will definitely not do something like stealing it back. Could it be that there is a misunderstanding in this?"
"There is no misunderstanding, Situ Ting said that the opponent's own strength is only at the peak of Daluo Golden Immortality. He uses the unique formation of Tianji Pavilion and extremely powerful magic weapons, so he can achieve such a battle result. In addition to Tianji Pavilion, where can he cultivate such disciples?"
"The peak realm of Daluo Golden Immortal? That means this person is not Jiang Chengzi. Jiang Chengzi had already been in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm earlier. However, Situ Teng is also a famous Taiyi Golden Immortal Master. He brought about a dozen Taiyi Golden Immortals and was defeated by the other party. This person named Chen Pan is probably even more powerful than Jiang Chengzi!"
"Rumored that this person can control thousands of magic weapons at the same time, but Jiang Chengzi can't do it. Could it be that Lord Xuansheng personally accepts disciples? Moreover, this style of doing things that do not take into account any consequences is quite similar to Xuansheng."
"It's indeed similar. As we all know, Xuan Sheng has not been in Xuanyuan City, Tiandu for many years, so this disciple may have been collected outside. Tianji Pavilion is probably going to be fun. Jiang Chengzi was already almost the master of the internal cabinet, but now Xuan Sheng actually has a disciple. This is probably hard to say, and there will inevitably be a scene of fighting with the same family."
Chen Pan couldn't help but smile with all the rhetoric. It seemed that Situ Ting's misunderstanding about himself might be confirmed. However, it was indeed quite puzzling about the Five Snakes Transformation Formation. It was obviously created by his master Zhou Lin and Zhou Yi. How could it become the secret formation of Tianji Pavilion? Could it be that they were originally from Tianji Pavilion?
But there is another possibility. Just like Yue Huihong, he learned something in Tianji Pavilion. After he realized his unique skills, he gave one of them to Tianji Pavilion in order to repay him. Thinking of this, Chen Pan couldn't help but pat his head. Yue Huihong once asked himself to send the magic technique of the Rin magic to Tianji Pavilion and Langya Holy Land. He forgot for a while and could only wait for the next time.
After wandering around the city for a while, Chen Pan finally understood why Wucheng was so lively. There was a weapon refining competition here. Although the Tianji Pavilion in the world is the best, the Ouyang family's thunder and lightning refining techniques are also very famous. I remember when I left the Dongji Xuanzhou, Feng Lixi said that the Ouyang family was holding a weapon refining competition and could participate. Later, due to the appearance of the Great Immortal of Blood Method, the group of people came to Yunmengze for a lifetime under the Nine Abyss. Now after many years, they actually met again.
Recalling the past made Chen Pan feel a little sad, and refining weapons was something he liked more. In addition, when he used graphene to add magic weapons, he used the thunder and lightning refining method. He felt that this method does have many advantages compared to flame refining. Now it is a grand event, so he can't help but be interested.
The things have been bought and are about to go home. Not too long will it take for two days, Chen Pan decided to go and take a look.
As the monks who also wanted to watch the fun arrived at a huge square, the weapon refining competition was in progress.
A large stone tablet next to him was posted with the rules of the competition and related matters. Chen Pan looked carefully and combined with the discussions of people around him, he basically understood the rules of the competition by 80%.
The competition here is once every fifteen years, which is somewhat similar to Tang Gu, and is also divided into three levels: high, middle and low. The difference is that he is divided into internal and external competitions.
Internal competition refers to internal competition among the Ouyang family. The reward is unknown and the head of the family award is awarded. The external competition is aimed at all monks outside the Ouyang family, and the rules are also different.
In the internal competition, the stronger the better. There is no level difference. Everyone can compete together. Whoever has the most powerful magic weapon will win. In the external competition, more skills are required. Every competition is a question, and whoever can do the best will win. And every question is very strange, such as using fire-based refining materials, refining water, lightning or frozen magic weapon, or how to refine hard metals softer than cooked noodles.
The process of the internal competition will not be made public, but the external competition will be held directly in the square. In fact, most monks come here to watch the external competition, wanting to see what strange questions the Ouyang family has come up with every fifteen years.
Others were watching the fun, while Chen Pan secretly called the Ouyang family a brilliant man. The rewards for the outside competition were very good, and many of them were even some of the Ouyang family's unique martial arts or formations. For the master weapon refiners, it is easy to get a thousand treasures, but it is difficult to find a single method, which naturally attracted many powerful weapon refiners to come.
There is also an extremely important rule of the competition. The refining results of the top three must be sold to the Ouyang family and cannot be taken away. Of course, the price paid by the Ouyang family, one of the six major families, is definitely not low.
And this is what Chen Pan thinks is the most brilliant, which is equivalent to spending money to buy creativity. There is no patent right in the world of cultivation. As long as the exercises are passed on, anyone can learn it. After these contestants complete the questions given by the Ouyang family, they leave behind magic weapons, and the Ouyang family can understand the methods in detail.
It is said that folk remedies have pissed off famous doctors, and most of the artifact refining basics of artifact refining are naturally incomparable to these famous families. However, they occasionally come up with a wonderful idea of the gods to make the magic weapon more effective. Once these wonderful ideas are in the hands of artifact refining families like the Ouyang family, they will definitely play a greater role.
Treasures are valuable, but creativity is priceless. The things Ouyang’s family will definitely not be psychic-level refining materials or anything like that, nor will it be anything against the will. Although not every concept is useful, removing the meal and storing essence and then exploring it will definitely be of great help to improve the family’s refining system.
Those casual cultivators are not at a disadvantage. Those things are just as effective in their hands and can be exchanged for a large amount of material or martial arts formations. They also make a lot of money, which can be regarded as a win-win result.
