Shenwu Evil Emperor

Chapter 825 Smelting Ore
When everyone was listening attentively, Qi Baimei finally expressed his request.

"During the time I was traveling abroad, I went to the South Asian Empire and got some ore from a mountain in the South Asian Empire. I have never seen this kind of ore before, but after my inspection, it can be used to refine spirits. It can even be used as a material for refining Horcruxes."

"However, this kind of ore is extremely hard and very difficult to smelt. My request is that whoever can help me smelt the first piece of this kind of ore will own this treasure ship."

After hearing Qi Baimei's request, everyone started whispering. Unexpectedly, Qi Baimei actually wanted someone to help him smelt the ore.

"Everyone, come with me."

Qi Baimei said, stood up, and walked out of the banquet hall first, and all the guests got up one after another, followed closely behind.

"Brother Ling, let's go and have a look." Qin Hong said.

"Okay." Ling Yuchen nodded.

The two left the banquet hall, followed the flow of people through several corridors, and finally stood in front of a courtyard.

Ling Yuchen looked up and saw that the courtyard occupied a large area. Through the courtyard gate, one could clearly see that there were dozens of sheds built in the courtyard. Under the sheds were stoves with special shapes. Inside the stoves were strands of deep red The fire shines through.

"This is the place in my mansion for smelting ores. These furnaces are all specially made, and a piece of equipment I made is embedded in them. As long as you put the primordial energy into it, you can increase the fire in the furnace."

Qi Baimei stroked his beard and said: "Those who are willing to try to smelt this kind of ore can choose a stove, and I will take out that kind of ore and distribute it."

After listening to Qi Baimei's introduction, everyone started discussing again.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man seemed a little moved, but before he could express his opinion, Dongfang Ao who was standing beside him said: "I think, this opportunity should be reserved for young people, Brother Tie, you should know how to do it." It’s not that you want to compete with the juniors.”

"General Dongfang is right."

"Indeed, how dare I wait to compete with the juniors."

Soon, the heads of the various families reached a consensus to only allow young people to participate.

"The prince likes that treasure ship very much, I will try it today!" The thirteenth prince said first.

Seeing this, the fourth prince also expressed his willingness to challenge.

As princes, it is difficult for the two of them to be tempted by ordinary treasures, and they will not lower their status to compete with others. However, the treasure ship produced by Master Qi Baimei is really extraordinary, even the princes will be tempted!
"Shark, go, don't let Wei father down." Dongfang Ao patted Dongfang Sha on the arm and said with a serious expression.

"Father, don't worry." Dongfang Sha nodded heavily.

Not only Dongfang Ao, but the heads of other families also urged the younger generation of the family they brought.

If he can really take the lead in smelting the ore, not only can he get the treasure ship, but he can also give the family face, and even make Qi Bai look at him differently!

"Brother Ling, don't you want to try it?" Qin Hong looked at Ling Yuchen and asked in a low voice.

"There's nothing left and right, so it's okay to try." Ling Yuchen smiled slightly.

Although he was interested in the treasure ship, he was more interested in the ore that could make Horcruxes.He really wanted to know what kind of ore could be used to make Horcruxes.

Soon, the steward of the Qi Mansion counted the number of participants, a total of 32 people participated, all young men around 20 years old.

Qi Baimei nodded, and said: "Okay, all heroes, please choose your favorite stove."

These stoves were all exactly the same, so Ling Yuchen didn't choose deliberately, and stood in front of a shed at random.

He looked sideways, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback, thinking that the road to enemies is really narrow.At this time, the fourth prince stood in front of the shed on his left, and Dongfang Shark stood in front of the shed on his right.

Qi Baimei walked past the sheds one by one. At the same time, he took out fist-sized black ore from the storage ring and distributed them, one piece to each person.

Not long after, he walked to Ling Yuchen's shed.

"Here, it's yours."

Qi Baimei glanced at Ling Yuchen, flipped his hand, and threw a piece of ore over.

Ling Yuchen looked at the ore in his hand, and his eyes were fixed. His ore was the size of a human head, four or five times larger than other people's!
The ore is large, and it is more difficult to smelt it naturally.For Ling Yuchen, he was already at a disadvantage before the game even started.

However, he did not raise any objections, but stood there with a calm face.

As for the guests standing outside, seeing this scene, they all pointed and laughed, and Qin Hong couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

Both the fourth prince and Dongfang Shark got a fist-sized ore. Seeing the huge ore in Ling Yuchen's hand, they were very happy.

They could all see that Master Qi Baimei seemed to be very displeased with Ling Yuchen, otherwise he would not deliberately make things difficult.

Although Ling Yuchen didn't say anything, it doesn't mean everyone accepts it.

"Master, why does Brother Ling get so much bigger ore than other people? It's not fair!" Sikong Rui'er walked in from the courtyard and said crisply.There was an expression of extreme dissatisfaction on the delicate face.

At this time, Qi Baimei had finished distributing, he walked to Sikong Rui'er in a calm manner, and said: "I happen to only have 32 pieces of this kind of ore, and there will always be someone who takes the big one. He will get it, It's his bad luck. If he thinks it's unfair, he can give up and just not participate."

Sikong Rui'er puffed up her mouth angrily, and couldn't help but look at Ling Yuchen, who saw Ling Yuchen smiling at her and shaking his head.

"Boy Ling, are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?" Qi Baimei looked at Ling Yuchen and asked in a deep voice.

Ling Yuchen shook his head indifferently: "No."

"Ah."

When Ling Yuchen answered, there was indeed no trace of resentment in his eyes. Qi Baimei nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Sikong Ruier, and said, "How? He said that he has no dissatisfaction."

Seeing this, although Sikong Rui'er felt unwilling, she could only keep silent.

"Master Qi, do you have any requirements for smelting this ore?" someone asked.

"No, as long as the ore can be smelted, you can use any method. The only thing that is not allowed is that outsiders are not allowed to help. The time is limited to three hours."

Qi Baimei paused, and continued: "Okay, everyone, you can start, let me take a look at the methods of the younger generation of our Xiwu Empire."

As soon as Qi Baimei's voice fell, everyone participating in the competition immediately became busy.

Holding a surprisingly large ore in his hand, Ling Yuchen walked into the shed.

He glanced around, and saw that someone had already thrown the ore into the stove, and was putting one hand on the stove, urging the primordial energy in his body to pour into it.With the blessing of vitality, the stove was blazing, and the heat wave hit people.

Holding this piece of ore, he felt that this piece of ore was very heavy, although it was the size of a human head, it weighed a thousand catties.

He has seen many kinds of ores, but this is the first time he has seen such a heavy ore.

Moreover, the ore is cold to the touch, like a piece of ice.

From these two points, he had a hunch that it would not be an easy task to smelt this ore.

Besides, if it was really that easy, why would Qi Baimei regard it as a test?

"Whoosh."

Withdrawing his mind, Ling Yuchen threw his hand, and he threw the black ore into a large furnace with a height of one person, and fell into the charcoal fire.

Immediately, he also put his hand on the outer wall of the furnace, pouring the chaotic vitality in his dantian into it.

Through the observation of his spiritual consciousness, he instantly locked on a device placed in the stove, which was a black disc with a total of 36 talismans inlaid on it!

This disc was like a big mouth that devoured vitality, all the vitality he poured into it was swallowed.

Under the infusion of vitality, the disc burst out with a strong breath, making the charcoal fire on it burn more intensely.

"It turned out to be a talisman array, which is a bit interesting."

Ling Yuchen's eyes lit up, and he carefully observed the somewhat complicated talisman array on the disc.

For a while, the vitality he poured into was also greatly reduced.

The hundreds of onlookers were all observing the situation of the 32 furnaces. By looking at the height and strength of the flames rising from the furnaces, they guessed who could smelt that piece of ore first.

"Look, as expected of the Thirteenth Prince, the flame in the furnace in front of him turned purple, the temperature must be very high!"

"The godson of General Dongfang is not bad either. He has so much vitality that the flames will burn the stone shed."

"There's also Chang's..."

While everyone was discussing, Qin Hong and Sikong Rui'er had been watching Ling Yuchen's every move. When they saw the flames in the furnace in front of Ling Yuchen, they were a little suspicious.

Because, the flame in the stove immediately returned to its original state except for a jump at the beginning, and Ling Yuchen stood motionless by the stove for some reason.

Gradually, not only the two of them, but others also discovered this, because Ling Yuchen's place was too conspicuous, other stoves were burning, but the flame in his stove was half dead, so how could they not notice it.

"Could it be because Master Qi gave him a big piece of ore, so I have resentment in my heart, so let's give it up."

"It's possible that his piece is more than five times bigger than that of other people."

Not only were other people talking, Qi Baimei also frowned, and looked at Ling Yuchen with some doubts.

However, at this moment, Ling Yuchen suddenly moved. He didn't inject vitality and increase the firepower, but... demolished the stove!

"What is he doing?"

Seeing that Ling Yuchen didn't try to smelt the ore, but started to dismantle the stove instead, all the onlookers were dumbfounded.

Soon, under the surprised eyes of everyone, a good stove was disassembled, and a black disc was removed from the belly of the stove by Ling Yuchen!
This is not over yet, after removing the disc with the talisman formation used to ignite the flames, he carefully considered and removed a few talismans on the disc as well!

Seeing this scene, everyone was even more surprised, and a thought arose in their hearts, "Is this kid dissatisfied with the ore allocated to him by Master Qi, let's take this opportunity to take revenge!"
