refining sword

Chapter 36
The sixth day, in the evening.

At the top of the fire-bathing peak, at an unknown time in the sky, a thick cloud of blood suddenly floated.

Its shape is not very regular, and the clouds are rolling inside, as if there are thousands of ghosts, entangled in it, but unable to break free.

Because there was a blood cloud covering the square, the light became a little dim, and there was a faint bloody smell in the air, which made people feel a little depressed.

Situ Hao, who was sitting on the high platform, suddenly opened his eyes and raised his head to look at the cloud of blood in the sky.

After watching for a while, a puzzled look appeared in his eyes, and he asked the King of Guangliang beside him suspiciously:

"My lord, in the past three months, have there been widespread disappearances or deaths near Yuejing?"

"I've never heard of this. Not to mention the vicinity of Yuejing, or the entire territory of Yueguo, there are no such incidents reported." King Guangliang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, then frowned and pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said.

"That's weird, this blood cloud..."

Before Situ Hao could finish his words, there was a violent vibration under the ground.

Accompanied by a "rumbling" sound, the magma in Yuhuofeng's fire storage pool suddenly became restless, as if it was boiling, and it tumbled violently.

The chain with the thickness of the bucket suspended on it also swayed violently, making bursts of "crack" sounds.

"Is this... the volcano is about to erupt?" someone exclaimed.

In the crowd, chaos suddenly erupted, and some people even started to flee outside the square.

"What are you panicking about?"

At this moment, a loud voice rang from above the high platform in the square.

As soon as this sound came out, the scene was immediately calmed down like a stone of Zhenyue. Everyone calmed down, stopped their panicked movements, and looked towards the stone platform.

"This is not a volcanic eruption, but a top-quality magic sword is about to be born, which is just arousing the power of the fire in the fire pool. After the rune is completely engraved and the sword energy is stable, the vision will naturally disappear." Already standing up Situ Hao, said slowly.

Sure enough, not long after his voice fell, the underground changes gradually disappeared, and the magma in the fire pool gradually returned to its original state.

Situ Hao glanced over the square. By this time, there were not many swordsmen who had not left the sword room.

Who is it, the best-quality magic sword that has been refined, can actually trigger such a vision?
"Could it be him?" Situ Hao pondered.

Among all the sword refiners who participated in the conference, the one he was most optimistic about was Shen Wen, who was a great sword refiner enshrined by the Jiang's Chamber of Commerce, one of the four major chambers of commerce in the capital.

He is only in his thirties, but he has already been able to refine a top-quality magic sword, and his cultivation has reached the perfect state of the Qi refining period. As long as he meets him, he is very likely to become a foundation-building cultivator.

Once he becomes a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his lifespan can be extended a lot, and there is a certain hope that he will grow into the second Spirit Sword Master of Yue Kingdom.

Situ Hao pondered for a moment, and then looked up at the sky again, the strange blood cloud had disappeared without knowing when.

On the side of the stone house, Yan Zi and Chen Guang also felt the shaking of the earth. They thought something was wrong, so they hurriedly came out to check, but after seeing that the abnormality disappeared quickly, they returned to the stone house.

As soon as the two of them lifted the curtain of the house door, they saw that the little abacus was trying his best to support his body and cast a blank stare at the two of them.

"Little Abacus, you are awake!"

Yan Zi was overjoyed when she saw this, she ran over quickly, and took the small abacus into her arms.

"Miss, what's wrong with me..." Little Abacus had just woken up after being in a coma for many days, and was still a little confused for a while.

At this moment, she suddenly trembled, and hurriedly shouted: "Miss, Yao Bin... Yao Bin colluded with Sun Yang and stolely replaced Big Brother Tie's sword-making materials..."

"Don't worry, we already know what you said." Yan Zi patted her shoulder gently and comforted.

"Where's Big Brother Tie? Where is he?" Abacus asked after scanning the room.

"The sword-making conference has officially started. He is still practicing swords in the sword room, so he should be out soon. After you rest for the night, I will take you to see his sword-making competition tomorrow." Yan Zi put the abacus on the table. He fell back to sleep on the bed and said softly.

Little Abacus said nothing, nodded, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again after a while.

……

Early in the morning, today is the last day of the seven-day time limit for this sword-making conference. At this time, there was a lot of people on the peak of the fire, and almost everyone gathered on the square.

On the sword stand on the left side of the stone platform, there are all kinds of magic swords, and the most prominent one is naturally the orangutan cracked stone sword refined by Luohou.

Up to now, among the magic swords that have been successfully refined by the sword masters, this is the only one of the best magic swords.

As for the sword masters who had not left the sword room, there were still three others, Shen Wen, Qiu Batian and Tie Jian.

Many people present seemed to have great hopes for Shen Wen. After chatting with each other, most of them believed that the magic sword that triggered the different phase should come from this person.

As for the two of Qiu Batian, few people paid attention, especially Tie Jian, few people had heard of it, and naturally no one would mention it.

"Brother Tie, why hasn't he come out yet? The time is almost up..." Xiao Abacus, Yan Zi and Chen Guang squeezed into the crowd, staring at the location of Tie Jian's sword room, a little worried.

"You forgot to challenge the Sun family sword training last time?" Yan Zi comforted Xiao Abacus with a smile, but she was actually extremely nervous in her heart.

Although the last time was at the last moment, Tie Jian came out with his sword in hand, but this time is different, the challenge is the top-quality magic sword. Even a great swordsman cannot guarantee that he can refine it successfully every time. .

Moreover, the sword-making process also requires extreme care. A little carelessness may even suffer backlash, severely damage vitality, and even risk life.

"Someone came out." Chen Guang, who was silent beside him, suddenly called out.

Yan Zi and the two quickly followed the reputation, and saw a handsome man in a cyan gauze, holding a cyan long sword that had been sheathed in his arms, slowly walking up from the spiral staircase.

With a grim expression, he walked towards the high platform without looking sideways.

During this period, he only looked up at Luohou's broad-blade sword, and then walked slowly to the eight great swordsmen, handing the long sword in his arms.

An old man in purple robe sitting at the very edge solemnly took the long sword and pulled it away with a sound of "山唷".

A cyan sword glow spread out like a blue glow, and swept half of the sky in an instant.

In the void, the sound of sword chirping continued, and layers of sword energy ripples swayed, and it did not stop after more than ten breaths.

The purple-robed old man's eyes lit up, he held the long sword in his hand and looked at it again and again, and after a while, he turned around and handed it to the black-robed old man beside him.

The evaluation process this time is much slower than every previous magic sword, and it seems that they want to see something special from this sword.

After the appraisal was completed, the white-bearded old man was about to announce the result, but Situ Hao suddenly came over, took the long sword from his hand, stroked the blade with two fingers, and checked it carefully.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head, handed the long sword back to the white-bearded old man with a puzzled face, and muttered to himself:
"It's not him..."

Then, he turned around and walked back, sat down again, and his eyes wandered back and forth between the two remaining sword rooms.

The white-bearded old man was a little puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, he announced: "Jiang's Chamber of Commerce, Shen Wen. Green Bamboo Lingxiao Sword, top-quality magic sword, armor, high quality."

Above the square, it suddenly boiled again, cheering and cheering, one after another.

Shen Wen walked down the stone platform with a blank face, and returned to the crowd of Jiang's Chamber of Commerce without saying a word. .

After all this excitement, everyone's expectations for this sword-making conference were concentrated on Luohou and Shen Wen, who would be better and win the leader of the conference.

Almost no one cared about the result of Tie Jian and Qiu Batian's sword refining.

As time passed, the noise in the square grew louder and louder.

The white-bearded old man stood up, walked to Situ Hao and King Guangliang, and asked for instructions: "The time limit is approaching..."

Situ Hao suddenly seemed to feel something, and he waved his hand, signaling the white-bearded old man to calm down.

At this moment, the two far-flung holes in the square opened at the same time, and two figures came out of them respectively.

One of them had a leopard head and eyes, and there was a folded scar on the corner of his brow. He was holding a red long sword with a strange shape in his arms, and there was a strange smile on his face. It was the faceless man pretending to be "Chou Batian".

On the other hand, Tie Jian has also changed into a snow-white robe, holding a long sword with a gorgeous sword body upside down in one hand, and walked slowly towards the high platform with a bit of graceful air.

The two of them looked at each other and climbed the high platform one on the left and one on the right, and handed their respective long swords into the hands of a great swordsman.

The sword masters circulated it one by one, and the expressions on their faces were all changing, a look of disbelief.

"How is that possible?" The white-bearded old man sitting in the center couldn't help but muttered.

Seeing the wonderful expressions of the great swordsmen on the stage at the time, they couldn't help but murmured in their hearts, but the noise became much smaller for a while.

"Sun's Chamber of Commerce, Qiu Batian. Refining the Netherscale Blood Sword, top-quality magic sword, armor, etc., high quality." The white-bearded old man announced.

As soon as these words came out, there was a strange silence in the square, followed by a burst of heated discussions.

The Yan Zi and the three who were present today all turned gloomy at the same time, all looking at Tie Jian on the stage.Yan Zi kept stroking her hair on the temples, biting her lower lip lightly, looking nervous.

"Be quiet!"

Seeing that there was a lot of discussion in the field, and could not stop for a while, the white-bearded old man had to say something to stop it.

After the surrounding noise subsided a little, he announced again: "Yan's Chamber of Commerce, Tie Jian. Refining the Burning Heaven Sword, top-quality magic sword, armor, etc., high quality."

At this moment, the whole square burst into flames.

You must know that in previous sword-making conferences, there were only one top-quality magic sword, and two top-quality magic swords occasionally happened, but it was very rare for three top-quality magic swords to appear at the same time.

Today, one after another, a total of four top-quality magic swords have appeared. This is the first time in the history of the Yue Kingdom Sword Refinement Conference.
