Chapter 281 Winning

"Wouldn't it be too time-consuming for this little guy to choose so many materials and refine them?"

Seeing that the amount of ore Zhou Ling put into the refining furnace was several times that of the other two, Cheng Pu couldn't help but frown slightly and said.

The main purpose of this trip was to observe Zhou Ling's specific situation.

After all, he is the leader of the Heavenly Guard and is already a key cultivation target of the Tiangong Division.

As for the matter of enforcing justice in Qingyun Immortal City this time, it is secondary.

In his opinion, with Zhou Ling's current foundation-building cultivation, it seemed impossible to defeat the other two Golden Core cultivators.

Although in the Tiangong Si Tianwei assessment, Zhou Ling had successfully refined a third-level treasure.

However, Li Feng and He Shen were not only Golden Elixir monks, but also had been trained in the Tiangong Division for many years. They had already been able to refine third-level top-grade or even top-grade treasures.

In this short period of seven months, it was difficult for Zhou Ling to refine a third-level high-grade treasure.

Seeing Zhou Ling choose so many materials, he was also full of doubts.

Generally speaking, the lower the cultivation level of the weapon refiner, the more cautious he should be in choosing materials.

Pay attention to the essence and the less, so that you can save mana consumption during refining and use more mana for imprint refining.

"It seems Zhou Ling wants to refine the Five Elements Sword!"

Looking at the materials put into the refining furnace, Qin Zhizheng smiled.

He also knew Zhou Ling's situation very well. From the selection of these materials, he could guess Zhou Ling's refining plan at once.

"Five Elements Sword?"

Hearing this, Cheng Pu's face became more confused.

You know, at Zhou Ling's age, if he could comprehend the three realms of swordsmanship, he would already be a top-notch talent in swordsmanship.

It would be amazing if you could understand the Five Elements Sword Intent.

No matter how amazing the talent is, it will take at least one or two years to comprehend a third-level sword intent.

Zhou Ling is only sixteen years old now. Even if he started practicing swordsmanship from his mother's womb, it would be difficult for him to comprehend the third-order Five Elements Sword Intent.

"Cheng Tingzhi, although this boy is not very advanced, his talent in weapon refining is extremely good!"

Qin Zhizheng smiled and said.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Ling, he knew that he was a steady and cautious person and would not waste his mana on refining.

"Yes, Cheng Tingzhi, Zhou Ling is still a teacher in the outer courtyard of Jiutian Sword Academy."

"A while ago, Gongyuan personally came to ask for someone from me. If it were someone else, I would naturally not agree, but I still want to give it to Gongyuan!"

Zhongyuan also echoed with a smile.

"Oh, is it really the Three Realms Sword Cultivator!"

Hearing this, Cheng Pu nodded slightly.

There is some expectation as to whether Zhou Ling can refine the Five Elements Sword.

An easy-going gaze swept over the other two people and said with a smile, "Li Feng chose the third-level top-grade Lihuo fine gold as the main material. It seems that he is refining a metallic sword."

"The finished product can basically be said to be a third-level top-grade base!"

"He Shenze is the third-level top-grade thunder wood. As long as he masters it, he can basically guarantee the third-level top quality."

"Of course, as for the specific power of the refined sword, it also depends on the selected imprint and the level of the sword intention integrated into it?"

Hearing this, both Zhongyuan and Qin Zhizheng nodded.

Although the two of them were optimistic about Zhou Ling, they both knew that it would not be easy for Zhou Ling to defeat these two veteran opponents.

After all, the gap in cultivation is too obvious.

However, Zhongyuan and the others were not too worried.

After all, at Zhou Ling's age, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

I am naturally happy to have won this time.

If you lose, it won't have any big impact.

Of course, they still hope that Zhou Ling can win.

Half an hour later, Zhou Ling finally tempered all the different colored ore materials in his refining furnace into five elements of fine gold.

The weight of these fine gold is approximately thirty-six kilograms.

"After successfully refining this Five Elements Sword, if you can give it to yourself, you will make a lot of money!"

While condensing the Qianyang True Fire to temper the shape of the materials in the refining furnace, Zhou Ling thought secretly.

Although he had to refine a lot of materials before, with the help of Qianyang True Fire and [Sixth Transformation] talent, it actually did not consume much of his mana.

His expression seemed relaxed and at ease.

Looking at Zhou Ling's refining speed of materials, he was not at all slower than the other two golden elixir monks.

Cheng Pu couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.

Observed Zhou Ling carefully.

At this moment, Zhou Ling's whole body was flashing with flame-like light.

After a brief inspection, the power of the flame released by the red spiritual flame in his hand can be said to be extremely rich.

Like flaming magma deep underground.

Based on his cultivation and experience, he could naturally tell that this was a fourth-grade spiritual flame.

He couldn't help but secretly marvel at how a foundation-building monk could control a fourth-grade spiritual flame so skillfully?

On the other hand, although the other two people were one level higher than Zhou Ling in cultivation, the spiritual flames they controlled were only third-grade spiritual flames.

"He actually used the extremely rare Jinglian method!"

Watching the sword body gradually condense in Zhou Ling's refining furnace, Cheng Pu couldn't help but say.

The Jinglian method is a relatively rare refining method among weapon refining.

The reason why this method is extremely difficult is that it can combine some materials with conflicting properties and use its own magic power to condense them.

This requires extremely high mana and consumes a lot of energy.

If there is a slight mistake and the materials are not completely fused, the power of the refined treasure will be greatly reduced.

This is also the difficulty of this refining method.

Of course, this refining method has an advantage that other methods do not have.

That is, if one of the materials is damaged, it will not affect the other materials.

In short, if this is a five-element sword, as long as the sword body is not completely destroyed.

If one of the parts is broken, it can still exert a considerable combat power.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling is not very old, but he has such exquisite refining techniques. No wonder he can become Tiangong Sitianwei.

Originally, he was quite skeptical about Zhou Ling's choice of the five-element sword, but after seeing Zhou Ling's refining method, his influence was greatly improved.

In just one stick of incense.

Under the fierce burning of the Qianyang True Fire, the five five-element sword embryos tended to take shape.

The speed is no worse than the other two.

Cheng Pu was even more surprised.

In this way, if Zhou Ling refines a sword embryo, wouldn't it be four times faster than these two Jindan cultivators!

Incredible!

Another stick of incense passed, and the flames in the three people's refining furnaces on the competition stage gradually dimmed.

Zhou Ling moved his hand, and the five-element sword that had been fused was suspended in front of him.

The whole sword body shone with dazzling five-color sword light, and the aura was extremely amazing.

Although it has not yet been integrated with the inscription and sword intent, this five-element sword light is enough to shock the late-stage foundation-building cultivators.

"Is Teacher Zhou going to refine the five-element sword?"

"A third-level five-element sword, how is this possible?"

"Yes, Teacher Zhou is only a foundation-building cultivator, how can he have the five-element sword intent."

"If you can't condense the five-element sword intent, the power of this five-element sword will be greatly reduced!"

Seeing the five-element sword embryo in Zhou Ling's hand, the cultivators present could roughly see Zhou Ling's intention.

Although there were many Qi training cultivators present, they had some experience in the Taoist Academy and knew the difficulty of the third-level five-element sword.

Looking at the sword embryo, Zhou Ling's face was full of smiles, but he was not in a hurry to carve the inscription and integrate the sword intent.

Although [Six-turn Transformation] and [Meticulous] helped, the mana in his body was still consumed by about 20% at this moment.

There was still an hour and a half to go, which was enough time.

He first took out the pill bottle and took a quarter of an hour of Yuan Zeng Dan to recover.

Under the effect of [Recovery] and [Spiritual Medicine Stress] talents, the mana in his body had been fully restored in half a quarter of an hour.

Because the sword body was refined using the Jinglian Refining Method, the sword seals could be engraved one by one when refining the five elements sword seals.

However, when connecting, it is necessary to achieve synchronization, which is also the most challenging part for the refiner's skills.

This is not only related to spiritual consciousness and mana, but also to the refiner's experience.

With the Three Purities Creation Art and [Six-turn Transformation], this difficulty will be greatly reduced for Zhou Ling.

Feeling that the mana in his body has been fully restored, Zhou Ling first saw a series of five elements sword seals in his mind.

Originally, with his current cultivation, he could only refine a third-level inferior sword seal at most.

But under the effect of the [Sixth Transformation] talent, he already has the ability to refine the third-level top-grade sword seal.

Of course, he has the original instructions of Deacon Qin this time. As long as he can refine a third-level top-grade treasure.

That means he wins.

And it is a five-element third-level top-grade sword, which is even as powerful as a fourth-level sword.

Zhou Ling is still very confident about this.

As the divine consciousness condenses, accompanied by the Qianyang True Fire, circles of spiritual flames begin to fall into the sword body.

Then, the Qianyang True Fire covers the embryo of the Five Elements Sword Yuan, and the divine consciousness carries the spiritual power while the flames bloom, and begins to engrave the inscription on the sword body.

The refining of the Five Elements Sword requires engraving five Five Elements Sword Seals and Five Elements Sword Intentions respectively.

When the Five Elements Sword Seals and Five Elements Sword Intentions are completely integrated into the sword body, it is considered completely completed.

Of course, the Five Elements Sword Seals and Five Elements Sword Intentions must be connected in the end, so that the power of the Five Elements Sword can be greatly increased.

However, whether it is the Five Elements Sword Seal or the Five Elements Sword Intention, it is not so easy to integrate.

It consumes spiritual consciousness and mana, and has great requirements for one's own sword intention.

On the body of the Five Elements Sword, the five-colored light shines against each other, which is extremely magical.

[You really draw the Fire Sparrow Inscription, Six Turns Change +1, Fire Sparrow Inscription Reduction +3]

With the emergence of talent, Zhou Ling became very handy in refining, even the third-level top-grade sword seal, it seems to be at ease.

With the assistance of talent, the progress is also very fast.

In the following time, Zhou Ling has been stimulating spiritual consciousness, condensing the Three Pure Souls, and refining sword seals with mana.

Under the effect of talents such as [Six Turns Change], he can refine sword seals with the help of the Three Pure Soul Jue, which is much easier.

One sword seal after another condenses on the sword body.

Under the effect of the two talents, it completely makes up for the lack of his cultivation, and also greatly reduces consumption.

What's more, he has already understood the Five Elements Sword Seal, and the proficiency of each sword seal is already very high.

With the help of the fourth-level Qianyang True Fire, everything seemed to go very smoothly.

At this critical moment, every audience member watched with bated breath.

Although they were covered by the light shield, even if they made loud noises, it would not affect Zhou Ling and the other two.

But most people watched carefully, because it was a rare opportunity to watch three third-level weapon refiners refining swords at the same time.

After this competition, the weapon refiners who watched it would gain a lot.

Even the three judges were watching intently.

The three people had different cultivations and different methods.

Their strengths were completely on par with each other.

Even at this point, it was difficult for the three to tell who had a clear advantage.

Of course, from this situation, it was almost clear that Zhou Ling had a clear advantage.

After all, his cultivation was far lower than the other two.

With the successful drawing of the five sword seals, Zhou Ling smiled.

The sword energy released by the Five Elements Sword at this moment made people even more frightened.

However, there was still one last step to integrate the Five Elements Sword Intention.

This was also the moment to determine the specific power of this sword.

The power of a sword without the integration of the sword intention was one level lower.

Although the Five Elements Sword can now exert the power of a third-level top-grade treasure, without the sword intention, its power is only so.

Afterwards, Zhou Ling showed caution on his face, and directly condensed the Five Elements Sword Intention and began to integrate it into the Five Elements Sword.

Of course, what would be integrated was the Small Five Elements Sword Intention.

An hour later.

Zhou Ling opened his eyes with a tired face.

Integrating the sword intent consumes the soul. If his soul had not reached the Jindan realm long ago, and if he had not been assisted by his talent, he would not have been able to do it.

"Five Elements Sword, it's done."

Looking at the sword shining with five-colored sword light in front of him, Zhou Ling's expression was quite excited.

Five Elements Sword Body, Five Elements Sword Seal, Five Elements Sword Intent, perfectly integrated into one.

At this moment, the quality of this Five Elements Sword is already the third-level top grade, and Zhou Ling believes that if he uses it, it can even reach the power of the fourth level.

"After the competition, ask Qin Zhizheng to return this Five Elements Sword!"

"In the future, cooperate with the other five Five Elements Swords to condense the Five Elements Sword Formation. This power can definitely kill Jindan cultivators!"

Feeling the power of the Five Elements Sword, Zhou Ling calculated in his heart.

Ding!

"There is only one stick of incense left in this competition!"

As the ancient bell sounded, Qin Zhizheng's voice came.

This time, Zhou Ling put away the Qianyang True Fire and the Refining Furnace, and at the same time, his eyes swept over the other two.

Both of them have finished refining their own swords.

In front of Li Feng is a golden sword, which can be seen as a gold-attributed sword.

He Shen's sword is a black sword, which is of thunder attribute.

Through [Intermediate Observation], Zhou Ling saw that both of them had third-grade top-grade swords.

He Shen's sword is a thunder sword, which is slightly better than the golden sword.

It is not a fourth-grade sword, so Zhou Ling was relieved.

Suihe and the three of them each took their swords and walked towards the judges' seats.

"This competition is so exciting, they are all third-grade top-grade swords!"

"I didn't expect that Master Zhou could refine a third-grade top-grade sword with his cultivation level. It's incredible!"

In the audience, people seemed a little unbelievable.

After all, it is too amazing for a foundation-building cultivator to refine a third-grade top-grade sword.

In the judges' seats, the three put their swords on the jade plate.

"Yes, they are all third-grade top-grade swords."

"According to the original rules, Zhou Ling wins this competition!"

Looking at the three swords, Cheng Pu announced with a serious face.
