The Mercury Square, where all the powerful people arrived, was burning with fire as they soared into the sky. From the Jiuyun Throne in the stands in the square, hundreds of thousands of monks were bustling around, all looking at this once-in-a-lifetime stunning wonder.

1,300 masters of weapon refining showed what they had learned in their lives at the same time, with colorful and dazzling light of fire, rendering the entire sky with a thick and colorful stroke.

The Mercury Plaza is extremely wide, with a radius of ninety miles, paved with blue bricks, and above the flat and smooth square are the 1,300 masters with extraordinary skill in refining weapons.

It’s like 1,300 chefs standing neatly together, holding the most familiar sacred fire they cook with delicious and fresh dishes.

There are 1,300 masters of weapon refining in the square, and everyone has their own skills and concentration. Among them, Lu Chen, Li Xiu, Huang Hanchong, Wu Hao and the black-clothed cultivator occupied the largest territory. These people have extraordinary abilities and powerful cultivation, especially the unknown cultivator. The worst strength he showed must be at the early stage of the tribulation. The purple fire in his hand is not inferior to any Lu Chen. This is just an estimate.

Lu Chen paid a little attention but didn't care too much. After all, the most important thing at the moment is the conference.

The rules of the first round of competition are extremely harsh, and Tongtian Pavilion does not need to provide weapon scores, because the weapon refining master himself has a better understanding of magic weapons than ordinary people. Any weapon refining master has not been able to spend it through refining thousands of magic weapons. As long as the assessment requirements are met within the specified time.

However, this assessment was beyond everyone's expectations. It seemed that even Huang Hanchong and Li Xiu had not received any news in advance. While their faces were covered with solemnity and fatigue, everyone was staring at the prototype of the magic weapon that had not yet taken shape and was about to take shape, and they dared not be distracted at all.

Lu Chen is no exception. He refined a flying sword in an ordinary form. The reason why he chose this way without taking out all his strength was because Lu Chen had already noticed something.

The Black Evil Heart Fire is wrapped with eighteen drops of pure slurry. Lu Chen did not rush to transform. He held a ball of Black Evil Heart Fire in his right hand, slowly scoring the Domain Ice Stone. This stone is produced in the local area, that is, Domain Mercury, which is mined from the seabed outside the mountain. It is of good quality, but it cannot be considered a treasure. It is more than enough to refine top-grade spiritual weapons. However, since it comes from a cold place, it is very challenging to extract the available essence from the cold ice stone.

The ability to control fire...

Everyone in the weapon refining call fire a saint, and the holy in their hearts is said to be holy fire. As for the master of weapon refining, everyone must fully grasp how to control their own natal true fire and do whatever they want...

Since the knockout round, the assessment questions set by Tongtian Pavilion have tested the cultivator's fire control ability; the first round of the test is still like this, and the difficulty is at least ten times more than before, which makes Lu Chen suspect that Tongtian Pavilion itself has an ulterior motive.

Melting weapons, fire energy needs to be controlled...

Purification requires control of fire energy...

From this perspective alone, if two steps are carried out at the same time, it is a one-point and two-point purpose. Also testing the ability to control fire, this method invisibly increases the difficulty of the assessment a lot.

"Fire... or fire..." Lu Chen murmured softly, staring straight. At this moment, a roar of a furnace exploded from a certain position on the left behind him.

"puff!"

No need to turn your head and look at it. It must be someone who is eager to achieve success. He was too impatient and was backfired by the true fire of his natal life, which led to the failure of refining the weapon. The roar must be the self-destruction caused by the magic weapon being about to condense into a form and the energy chaos was generated. When he first came into contact with refining, this situation often happened to Lu Chen, and it was no longer surprising.

"Domain Ice Stone..." Lu Chen glanced at the Domain Ice Stone that was still gathering in his hand but did not melt. The cold air was slowly passing with the rising momentum of the black evil fire. The energy of the cold current was very strong. Lu Chen felt dozens of thread-like cold air penetrated into his palm. Fortunately, this cold air could not hurt Lu Chen, so he didn't care too much.

It can be said that there are two difficulties in the first round. The first is purification: the flying sword magic weapon destroys the repurification and the purification of the domain ice stone, and achieves dual-material purification. This is the difficulty.

The second difficulty is to integrate the energy of the domain ice stone and the earthly stone. The most challenging part is here. The difficulty is that the two are not of the same grade ore, and the purity of energy is also different. The content of the true fire of the natal realm of a monk is also different. It is not that the energy of the domain ice stone is melted into it with a monday weight. This has a lot to do with the shape, size, and purpose of the magic weapon you want to refine.

For example, the main material of the sword is the earthly stone. How long is the sword? How thin is the blade?... Even the size of the sword hilt, sword pool and sword body need to be clearly judged in the spiritual consciousness, so that it can transform into the most powerful and natural magic weapon. Otherwise, it may be like the monk just now, he will be defeated and left the field.

When monks refining weapons, they have different controls on fire energy. The same magic weapon is refined by two different monks. According to their cultivation, the grade of fire energy and the understanding of the tools, the amount of materials used will be deviated.

Magic weapons, cultivation, and level of understanding... Only by taking them into consideration can the most powerful magic weapons be refined.

This point is not possible to learn from, and it is also the reason why Tongtian Pavilion lets everyone get together and is not afraid of being seen by people who are also masters of weapon refining to see their own abilities.

Difficult...difficult...difficult...

In short, it's just one word: difficult.

And this is just the first round, and there are two rounds left. How difficult is it? Lu Chen is very looking forward to it.

The way of refining weapons and the way of practicing practices is the same. What we pick is the strengths of all families and make up for the shortcomings of our own people; what we practice is perseverance and hard work; what we play is the pursuit of survival in death, and chance; which master of supernatural powers is not tempered by hardships? Who has no capital to sigh?

Lu Chen did not underestimate any opponent, nor did he underestimate himself. Only by weighing the pros and cons and gaining insight into the opportunities can he stand out from the extraordinary and become a superior person.

Lu Chen looked careless and arrogant. In fact, he was as careful as dust. While raising fire and burning troops, he was thinking hard about the mystery hidden in the two rounds of the assessment questions of this conference. After comprehensive consideration, Lu Chen suddenly realized that the first two rounds of competition were testing the cultivators' fire control ability, and the difficulty was greatly increased. It seemed that in the knockout round, how could Tongtian Pavilion and the five sects and three clans not know that there were too many people participating in the conference? Then, he prepared a mountain range and dug out nearly a thousand caves to provide them with the monks participating in the conference for the assessment? It was obvious that the number of people participating in the conference was too large, and the big men from all walks of life who held the conference had already expected it, so he deliberately prepared the difficult assessment questions and tried thousands of people.

There were 1,300 people participating in the first round of assessment. Although the difficulty was increased ten times, with the current skills of monks participating in the competition, there should not be too few people who can advance. However, there were only two competitions afterwards. If there were too many people, it would be difficult for real masters to stand out. So Lu Chen felt that the next time would be more difficult, even outrageous.

Medium-grade spiritual weapons, top-grade spiritual weapons, the next one should be the best spiritual weapons. Although the best spiritual weapons are precious, there are quite a few people who can be refined in the fairy realm today. Tongtian Pavilion will definitely have other means to take them out. What Lu Chen could guess is not low-quality ore, nor is it difficult to refine the weapon score to the point of being scary. The most likely tests the ability to control fire. If so, wouldn’t it be forcing the monks attending the conference to complete the first round of tests as soon as possible and leave more time to rest?

"It seems to be very urgent." Lu Chen murmured, a little lost. After thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. Zhuo Canghong has always used time and difficulty to oppress the cultivators to speed up the refining speed. Could it be that there is any conspiracy?

"Is it a trap?" After thinking for a long time, Lu Chen had an idea and suddenly felt cold all over. He recalled the failure of a monk behind him and left lonelyly. The monk's method of refining weapons seemed to be quite low. A top-grade spiritual weapon should not be difficult for him. It was in this case that he failed.

Lu Chen suddenly realized that the two ore slurries that were about to merge together were interrupted by Lu Chen's mana and turned his head slightly. Lu Chen paid special attention to Li Xiu and Huang Hanchong, and suddenly found that although these two people used fire to fuse the materials together, they did not rush to transform. Instead, they stared at a viscous solution mixed with the two ore materials.

Both of them were very anxious, but they didn't have the next move in their hands. They seemed to be a little drunk...

"I'm fooled." Lu Chen was suddenly shocked and shouted inwardly: "No, is there any problem with the domain ice stone?"

His heart suddenly trembled. Lu Chen did not dare to be careless. He restrained his mind and released his spiritual consciousness, trapped the slurry formed by the Domain Ice Petroleum, and observed carefully.

There will be no problem with the Earth Black Stone. The flying sword is created by everyone himself. If there is a problem, it will not be able to be successfully refined. If there is a problem, it must be on the domain ice stone.

The cold ice stone slurry is like a ball of ice and snow, only the size of a fingernail, and the cold air attached to it is thrilling. How could ordinary people think that the conference would do something to deceive the monks attending the conference? Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt something was wrong and immediately denied himself, thinking to himself: "The master of weapon refining must have a clear understanding of thousands of materials. Don't you just choose materials before refining the weapon? Which material is good, what kind of magic weapon is suitable for refining, and how many impurities are there... are all issues that the master of weapon refining needs to consider. Some ores contain impurities that are unfavorable to magic weapons. If this material is necessary, you naturally need to use the real fire of the natal real fire to remove the unfavorable factors, which is also a great test of the fire control ability."

"Fire Control Ability? Another Fire Control Ability?" Lu Chen thought to himself, and things seemed to show his face of scammering. He secretly glanced at Zhuo Canghong in the stands, and the old man's pupils were full of deceitful glory. As a result, Lu Chen was even more sure that there was a problem in the ice stone mine in the domain.

After calming down, Lu Chen used his spiritual sense to carefully analyze the domain ice stone, and found a bright white line in it. He used his spiritual sense to enlarge it infinitely, and the lines actually became alive, constantly squirming in the innermost part of the slurry, like an earthworm, all white...

"Han Lee?" Lu Chen suddenly remembered that when he was idle, he read the classics of the ancient gods and demons Yishi in Chishui Villa. He was not long ago, and he had nothing to do and read the records of the ferocious beasts such as Han Lee.

This beast is as weak as hemp silk, invisible to the naked eye, and is similar to cold air. It is a kind of ferocious beast of water spirit roots. It likes to eat fire energy and practice cultivation. Because of its speed and small amount of fire energy, it has always been ignored. However, the monks who are truly persecuted by cold leeches regard this thing as a great enemy. To put it bluntly, Han leeches are like a parasite. Although it is not scary and cannot hurt the monk, it can erode the true fire of the fire spirit roots cultivator little by little, and it is extremely difficult to find. It is easy to make the monk's breakthrough time infinitely increase.

Lu Chen finally understood what harsh conditions? What time limit? What material is inferior? All of this is an illusion, in order to force the monks attending the conference to ignore the most important cold leech and speed up the refining speed. In this way, the monk's failure made sense. In fact, if there was no cold leech, the monk had already advanced, but he failed to discover the cold leech, which led to the fact that during the refining process, he originally thought that the fire could be used properly, but in fact, a little bit of fire could be absorbed by the cold leech without realizing it. When sealing the demon, the energy of the magic weapon was directly lost to its proper balance, which led to the failure result.

"No, Tongtian Pavilion is preparing to eliminate most of the weapon refining masters in the first round."

"The knockout round is just an introduction, and the real big elimination is in the first round. If you don't go well, you will face failure directly. Although there is still a lot of time, if you fail, Qikun's Eighteen Swords will be destroyed. Tongtian Pavilion will not refine it for the second time."

"Peng!Peng!Peng!" As if verifying Lu Chen's guess, as soon as the thought arose, suddenly there were explosions of magic weapons behind him. Many (9) monks should have stumbled on their way.

"How is it possible? It's obviously done?"

"My magic weapon..."

"What the hell, how could it fail?"

...

Low shouts came one after another. Lu Chen raised his head and looked at Zhuo Canghong on the hosting stage. Sure enough, the old guy's eyes were slightly bent, and a faint cunning smile was also applied to the corners of his lips.

"It's so cunning." Lu Chen cursed in his heart and thought to himself that a group of old guys were full of bad water, but it was normal to think about it. Testing the cultivator's ability to control fire is also a test of the master of weapon refining. If you can't find this, why do you still be an immortal craftsman?

When Lu Chen thought of this, he suddenly realized. Since Han Lee was discovered, all obstacles had disappeared. Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. With a smile, the black evil heart fire surged out unscrupulously, directly penetrated the surface of the domain ice stone, killing Han Lee...
