---------- "..." Tian Yan remained silent, frowning slightly.

"Remember, we are friends. In this academy, as long as you are willing, there will be many friends." Ming Qi smiled.

Tian Yan raised his head, lowered it again, and nodded.

"I'll leave Tianyan to you, next time I come to Tianzhi City, I hope to see a different Tianyan." Ming Qi said.

"Boy, I think your talent is not bad, why don't you also join our Tianzhi Academy." The old man smiled.

"No, college life is no longer suitable for me." Ming Qi refused.

"Then I won't force it," said the old man.

"Tianyan, I have to leave. Remember what happened a few days ago, what is the most important thing in this world." Mingqi said solemnly, and after finishing speaking, he turned and left.

"Ming Qi, you are my first friend and my forever friend." Tian Yan cried out with tears overflowing from the corner of his eyes.

Ming Qi waved his hand, but the figure was gone.

...

After leaving Tianzhi City, a burst of dark clouds enveloped him, and it began to rain heavily. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought about where he was going. The ghost sect might have sent many people to chase and kill him.

The raindrops, from sliding along the long hair to the tip of the nose, fell to the ground with a tick, and the whole body was soaked by the rain, and the sound on the ground was covered by countless ticks.

Ming Qi quickened his pace, there are many ways to practice, don't need to ask for trouble.

Walking alone, the speed was much faster. In half a day, Ming Qi had already arrived at a city in the south of Tianzhi City.

The weather after the rain in the south is so changeable. Not long after the sky was cloudy and rainy, it was sunny again.

At the gate of the city, the word "Ghost City" is engraved on the wall, and I can't help but frown at the inscription, "Ghost City", "Ghost Sect", and then the woman who was not killed by him, I feel disgusted.

Entering the ghost town, the sparse crowds are no different from those in other cities.

Ming Qi walked on the streets in the ghost town, but found nothing strange.

Restaurants are often an important place for news to flow, so Mingqi found a relatively medium-sized restaurant and took a seat on the first floor of the restaurant.

An sat at a table, Ming ordered some dishes, and listened carefully to the conversations of the people around him.

"Haha, that woman yesterday was so fucking coquettish, the one below is tight..."

"Hey, I was really unlucky today. I was bitten by the dog next door when I went out..."

"Damn it, I gambled away all my money again, no, I have to get it back..."

Ming Qi bit his lip, what kind of news is this.

"Tomorrow is the Artifact Refining Contest. I heard that some of the younger generation of Artifact Refining disciples from various enemies have already reached the Artifact King. How about we go and see?"

The two men sitting in the farthest corner talked.

"Refining?" Ming Qi murmured, although this refining was not part of his cultivation, out of curiosity, Ming Qi still wanted to take a look.

After eating, Ming Qi paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant. Let's talk about tomorrow's business tomorrow. Today, I'd better go to Yihe Hotel first, and cultivation is the most important thing.

...

The next day, Ming got up early, changed into a black blouse, and asked the innkeeper.

"May I ask where the refining masters compete?"

"Alchemist, I heard it's in the duke's mansion in the center of the city. We have no right to go in." The boss sighed.

"Huh?" The boss raised his head, and Mingqi's figure had disappeared.

"The Duke's Mansion, it shouldn't be that difficult to enter." Ming Qi murmured.

Sure enough, the entrance of the Duke's Mansion was already full of people.

Relying on his own strength, Mingqi easily squeezed into the front row.

The door of the Duke's Mansion was wide open, and one could clearly see what was going on inside. Perhaps it was because of this competition that even the soldiers guarding the gate were general-level energy practitioners.

Ming Qi stepped forward, and several soldiers immediately surrounded him, blocked Ming Qi, and said, "Idlers are not allowed to enter, I have already left you a chance to watch."

Ming Qi smiled and said, "Then I will go in by myself."

After finishing speaking, the figure was gone, only four dull knocking sounds were heard, and the four men had fallen unconscious to the ground.

The people watching all around sighed, this is the duke's mansion, not to mention Neng Wang, even the Neng Huang class exists today, unexpectedly there are such reckless people.

As soon as he entered the Duke's Mansion, the huge arena in the courtyard was reflected in his eyes. The arena was divided into a hundred small areas by vertical and horizontal red lines.

Below, there are hundreds of people around, all staring at Ming Qi, this young man who doesn't know the etiquette and breaks in at will.

The Duke who was sitting in the Duke's hall looked at Ming Qi with great interest, and did not order Ming Qi to be expelled.

Ming Qi mingled with many refiners, and a special breath from the refiners was about to be remembered.

"Start." The Duke said to the old man beside him.

The old man slowly floated into the air, "Whoosh~"

He shot to the top of the ring, and said to everyone below, "The Artifact Refining Contest is starting now. Please come to the stage one by one according to your own preferences." After speaking, the old man waved his sleeve and shot hundreds of balls of paper.

They fell into the hands of the people below.

Everyone opened the ball of paper one after another, and wrote their own numbers inside.

The first one hundred people slowly stepped onto the stage, standing in each red area one after another.

One person took out a strange-looking bulky object from the energy ring, square with four corners, like a tripod but not a tripod.On the side of the block, there is a square hole, and behind the square hole, there is a small hole, which is guessed to be the place where raw inflammation or fuel is placed.

The square is directly above, and it is heavily indented, and it is still a place to put all kinds of metals.

There is a small hole that can be switched on at the upper part of the back where the raw inflammation or fuel is placed.

The small hole leads to the smelting place where the metal material is contained inside, and the liquid metal should be released from this hole after each smelting is completed.

The only thing that Ming Qi can't figure out is the purpose of the small square groove on the left side of the Fangsheng Yuanyan.

Others also took out the same things one after another. Although the shapes and colors were different, the general structure was the same.

Afterwards, everyone successively took out what kind of ore and some things that Ming Qi had never seen before.

Place it flat on the stone table that is placed flat in each area.

All kinds of ores, colorful eyes.

The preparations were over, and the old man floating in the air said loudly, "The topic of this competition is self-definition. You can refine the most confident utensils. Finally, based on our appraisal, those who rank in the top ten can participate from a hundred people." The next competition. Two days from now is counted. If you don’t finish the two days, you will be eliminated directly. Now, start!!!!".

The old man's announcement spread, and everyone took out raw raw inflammation from the energy ring, which should not be their own, but obtained by their master, raw raw inflammation is generally elementary, only two out of 100 people have intermediate raw raw inflammation , a small number of people did not have the original inflammation, and used some relatively violent burning items to fill the pit and ignite it.

Ming Qi asked the human beside him, "What is that square thing?"

"Hehe, you don't even know this, it's a refining furnace." The man beside him laughed. . . . . . . . .
