Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 593: Prepare to Take Action
The instrument appreciation conference was officially held soon.
The Forging Gate has arranged different positions for viewing weapons according to different levels of cultivation.
This event will last for more than a month.
Of course, forging the sacred iron must be done right from the start.
Many real people in the realm of performing magic are very busy and have no time to come here, so it is a great honor for them to come here. You should finish what you need to do as soon as possible. Those who are willing to stay and continue to participate in the instrument appreciation conference will naturally stay, and those who are not free can leave.
Lin Qianxing and Ning Caier followed the path of the Fenghuo Alliance and directly participated in the Weapon Appreciation Conference as true masters of the Fenghuo Alliance.
So the two of them visited and appreciated the more than 20 real people in the first level.
Among these real people, Lin Qianxing and Ning Caier were obviously unfamiliar, but their cultivation was there and no one dared to look down on them, so the other real people greeted them in a friendly manner and inquired about where the two practiced and whether they had established any power.
Hearing that it was a real person from Fenghuo Alliance, the real people in the field couldn't help but nodded, looking thoughtful.
Since its development, Fenghuo Alliance has encountered setbacks that almost brought it to ruin.
But there is always a powerful force behind the scenes who resolves the problem quietly and silently.
Therefore, anyone who knows about the Fenghuo Alliance knows that there must be a real person behind it.
However, due to the relative mystery of the Fenghuo Alliance, no one knows who the real person behind it is.
They didn’t expect that they would be able to meet the original owner today.
Tie Chi, the leader of the Forging Sect, walked in front, leading everyone forward to visit the tools forged by their disciples and the furnaces.
"My fellow disciples, these are the one to three flame furnaces, which are mainly used by the outer and inner disciples of our sect. These swords and other weapons are forged by them. However, these are just ordinary weapons. Without spirituality, even if they are sharp, they do not have much use value..." Tiechi pointed at the swords and other weapons and introduced them.
That’s right, in today’s cultivation world, whether or not the weapons used have spirits is a crucial factor.
Weapons without spirituality are just dead objects that require the user to take extra care to operate them.
As for spiritual tools, even if the owner does not actively operate them, they can understand what to do through human nature, making their use more efficient.
Afterwards, Tiechi took everyone to visit the furnaces from the fourth to the eighth flames, and introduced the evolution history of these furnaces and the manufacturing difficulties they encountered in the process.
Finally, they arrived at the last Nine Flames Furnace.
"My fellow practitioners, this is the Nine Flames Furnace of our Forging Sect. It can draw and gather the earth fire of the entire volcano and easily smelt a large amount of materials. The black iron that requires a hundred forgings to refine can be smelted here in just three breaths..." Tiechi said slowly.
The others looked at the huge Nine Flames Furnace and couldn't help but admire it.
In the current cultivation world, only the Forging Sect can make this thing.
Other sects either don't have the ability or their geographical location is not suitable for building such a thing.
Moreover, the Nine Flames Furnace does not just mean that it is one level higher than the Eight Flames Furnace.
Nine is the extreme number. The Nine Flame Furnace can theoretically surpass the Eight Flame Furnace by several levels of [flame].
Judging from the size alone, the Nine Flame Furnace in front of them was two or three times larger than the Eight Flame Furnace they had seen before.
After Tiechi finished telling everything about the Nine Flames Furnace, he got to the point.
"Grand Elder, please take out that piece of divine iron from the Earth's core." Tiechi said to Ou Xu, the Grand Elder of the Forging Sect.
The great elder nodded upon hearing the voice, and immediately took a mechanism box from the accompanying true disciple. After a while of operation, the mechanism box opened, revealing a piece of red metal about the size of a human head.
"Is this the Earth's Core Divine Iron?"
“Although the Dao rhyme is restrained, the spiritual light it exudes is real. Ordinary mysterious objects can never be compared with it.”
"The Forging Sect is really lucky to be able to obtain such a magical object through a volcanic eruption."
…
Exclamations, sounds of surprise, and words of envy continued to be heard, making Tiechi extremely satisfied.
He took the Earth Core Divine Iron from Ou Xu and said, "This Earth Core Divine Iron appeared in the Weapon Forging Sect after the volcano erupted a year ago. This is truly a blessing from heaven... Today, our Weapon Forging Sect will use this Nine Flames Furnace to melt it and forge it into a weapon. Please appreciate it..."
As he spoke, he was about to open the Nine Flames Furnace to smelt the divine iron.
However, Lin Qianxing suddenly spoke up at this moment, and said, "Wait a minute."
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Qianxing.
"My fellow Taoist, what 's the matter?" Tie Chi asked.
Although he was a little unhappy about being interrupted, he still patiently asked. After all, the other person's cultivation level was there, and he had to give him due respect.
"I know a lot about refining equipment. Your Nine Flames Furnace has been nourished by the essence of heaven and earth, and it already has the potential to become a god. If you rashly open the furnace now, it might damage its spirituality." Lin Qianxing said.
Tie Chi was stunned when he heard that. He then released his divine sense to cover the entire Nine Flames Furnace and examined it carefully.
This investigation was not important, he found that what Lin Qianxing said was actually true.
The Nine Flames Furnace is truly undergoing a transformation now. If the furnace is opened rashly at this moment, the spirit of the instrument will be awakened, halting the entire process and its transformation will probably be over.
But no one knows how long it will take for the Nine Flames Furnace to transform. Now that so many fellow practitioners are waiting here, is he going to choose to give them up?
The others looked at Tiechi's changing expression and became curious.
However, out of respect for the other party, he did not send out his divine sense to check the Nine Flames Furnace.
"Fellow Daoist, you are right. This Nine Flames Furnace is indeed undergoing a transformation." Tiechi nodded.
"Brother Tiechi, are you planning to put the forging of weapons on hold? Wait until the Nine Flames Furnace is fully transformed before forging weapons?" Someone said, "Then wouldn't our trip be in vain?"
His words had sinister intentions, and it was clear that he wanted to put Tiechi on the fire.
Tiechi glanced at him and said, "Since you are here, you are giving face to our weapon forging sect. How can I let you come here in vain? Even if the Nine Flames Furnace is undergoing transformation, we can't give up because of choking. The divine iron is of great importance. We must melt it and forge weapons today. Great Elder, open the furnace."
The divine iron from the earth's core is too precious. If it is left alone without being forged into an artifact, it will attract countless covetous creatures.
In any case, Tiechi plans to forge it into a weapon today.
Just when they were about to start the furnace, Lin Qianxing interrupted again and said, "Wait a minute."
For a moment, everyone looked over again.
"My fellow Daoist, I am very grateful for your reminder, but even if it damages the spirituality of the Nine Flames Furnace, this device must be forged today." Tie Chi saluted to Lin Qianxing.
"I don't want to stop you from forging weapons, but I want to tell you that even without the Nine Flames Furnace, there are other ways to forge weapons." Lin Qianxing said.
"But those are too slow." Tiechi shook his head.
There is indeed more than one way to smelt the divine iron, but whether it is to cultivate it through divine thoughts or to infect it through one's own power, it is a very long process, which may take at least a hundred years or even several thousand years.
They can't wait.
As for borrowing the Nine Flames Furnace from Si State and asking everyone to go along, not to mention the trouble, some exchange of interests would be inevitable in the process. After weighing it in his mind, he was unwilling to do so.
"Have you ever considered Lei Lian?" Lin Qianxing asked.
When these words were spoken, many people shook their heads.
" Fellow Daoist, you are joking. Thunder is the power of heaven. Although cultivators like us can manipulate heaven and earth, only thunder is beyond human control." Tiechi shook his head.
He originally thought that Lin Qianxing could see the changes in the Nine Flames Furnace and had some skills in forging weapons.
But after Lin Qianxing said this method, he felt that Lin Qianxing was a complete novice.
How can a monk touch thunder?
That is the authority unique to the Way of Heaven.
Even if there is an occasional thunderstorm, the falling thunder is full of divine power and is impossible to drive away.
Not to mention using such terrifying thunder to refine weapons.
It's almost like destroying the device.
Lin Qianxing smiled and said, "I have practiced for many years and have learned a method of thunder refining. I can do it for you."
Tiechi's expression froze on his face. He had never seen Lin Qianxing so confused about the situation.
Since he has already declined, Lin Qianxing should be tactful and stop talking.
Instead of retreating, he said something like "If you can't do it, I'll do it."
Not to mention whether he is really capable or not, can they hand over the magic iron of their Forging Sect to outsiders?
"The divine iron is precious, so don't joke, fellow Taoist." Tiechi forced a smile.
A cultivator beside him frowned and reminded Lin Qianxing, "My fellow Daoist, this is a matter of the Weapon Forging Sect. We should not get too involved."
Lin Qianxing smiled, took out a fist-sized yellow bead and threw it to Tiechi, saying, "This is considered a mortgage. If the sacred iron is destroyed, it will be yours."
This is the dragon essence of the yellow dragon that Lin Qianxing killed.
Although the yellow dragon has not really stepped out of the Dao level, he is gifted and has the ability to control water at the Dao level.
After Lin Qianxing got the bead, he took the time to examine it. Now it has become a Taoist divine object, and he can easily use it to control the water in a lake.
In terms of preciousness alone, the divine iron cannot be compared with it at all.
Tie Chi subconsciously caught the yellow bead, and the next moment, his face was full of shock.
The rich Taoist charm revealed on the surface shows that it is undoubtedly a divine object.
And it is more than one level stronger than his divine iron.
"What is that? The inner pearl of a demon beast in the realm of magic?" a cultivator exclaimed.
"Have any demon beasts in the realm of magic died in the past few hundred years?" asked a cultivator.
"Only more than five hundred years ago, the Dragon King of Longyin River tried to transform into a dragon when he strayed into the water, but was killed by a mysterious monk near Qingyin Peak..." a monk said slowly.
Suddenly everyone looked at Lin Qianxing in surprise and suspicion.
There weren’t so many cultivators at the level of performing magic in the world back then.
The sword intent left by Lin Qianxing's sword has not dissipated until now, and it can be said that everyone present has seen it.
It was because that sword was too stunning. Many of them gained some insights from it. Some even gained enlightenment through the remaining sword intent from that sword.
Seeing Lin Qianxing take out the Dragon Yuan, they couldn't help but be surprised.
Because this was the master who had the ability to slay a dragon back then. Now, more than five hundred years have passed, who knows how powerful he is now?
Tiechi was silent for a moment while holding the Dragon Essence, then he looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "Since it is your kindness, I will not refuse it. As for the Dragon Essence, you can take it back. If this divine iron is accidentally destroyed, I am afraid that my Forging Sect will not be blessed to possess this divine object."
As he said that, Tiechi threw the Dragon Yuan directly to Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing reached out and put Long Yuan back into his sleeve, a smile appearing on his face.
It turned out that this iron maniac was able to develop the forging business to such a prosperity not just by luck. He had a wide range of connections. After confirming Lin Qianxing's identity and potential, he decisively gave him such a big face and made an investment.
He had originally planned to just fool around and get away with it, but it seemed like today's highlight was really capable.
