Bloodline Ares

Chapter 198 Aura
The person who presided over the refining competition was a refiner of the seventh level cyclone realm of the Lianyun School, and also a very respected refiner in the Lianyun School. The middle-grade treasures that he forged were almost innumerable. status is very high.

Moreover, he is also a high-level powerhouse in the Cyclone Realm, and he is fully qualified to host this refining competition.

There was no ceremony held in the Artifact Refining Contest, but more than 200 stoves and tables were arranged in the entire square, filling most of the square, and the whole scene was quite spectacular.

Everyone who participated in the refining competition has a corresponding number. Xia Chen is holding No.13, which corresponds to the No.13 table, while Du Tian is No.40 and No.40, which corresponds to No.[-] Five tables.

Xia Chen took a closer look, and found that there were 310 eight tables in the entire square, which meant that a total of 310 eight people participated in the refining competition. However, most of them were just ordinary refining masters, and it was impossible for all of them It's a refiner. After all, there are probably only dozens of refiners in the entire Dongzhou.

Only Xia Chen and Du Tian participated in Dongtian Pavilion. Compared with the other three major sects, there were several or even a dozen participants. Regardless of whether they are refiners or not, as long as they have experience in refining weapons, they will participate. After all, the positions are different, and the purpose is also different. It is enough for them to pass the first round smoothly.

The Artifact Refining Contest is divided into two rounds. The first round is to use limited materials to forge extraordinary mortal weapons. Anyone who meets this standard will be eliminated.

And only in the second round is the refining of treasures. At that time, it will naturally be a competition between refiners.Therefore, the first round of competition is the mastery of the first step of the refiner's casting.

Casting is the first step in refining a weapon, and the refiner also needs to master it skillfully. Only by using the characteristics of the material to the limit, and then sealing the soul-gathering map into it, can the power of the treasure be brought out to the maximum.

For example, if a treasure with good material cannot be cast into shape, then it cannot withstand more soul-gathering maps at all. It could originally withstand three soul-gathering maps and can be refined into a middle-grade treasure. The refining material has not been tempered as it should, resulting in the material being fragile. Afterwards, only a soul-gathering map can be sealed, and its power is naturally greatly reduced.

Therefore, some refiners are allowed to participate in the Artifact Refining Competition, because of the particularity of the first step of casting, which is the most basic but also very important step.

The materials on each table are very limited. The main material is a relatively common ore called black iron ore. If it is tempered for a long time, it can become a better material, and it is more than enough to be refined into treasures.But it doesn't have any special attributes, even if it is refined into a treasure, it doesn't have much additional effect.

But it is such a simple material, but it is the most test of the refining method.The first round of the refining competition is to refine black iron ore into a superb mortal weapon, whether it is an offensive mortal weapon, or a defensive mortal weapon, or even an auxiliary mortal weapon. Anything is fine, as long as the refining is successful, it will be considered as passing the first round.

If it's just an ordinary refining room, then there is nothing to be afraid of, and you can refine it at will, as long as you refine it into a top-grade ordinary weapon. However, for the refiners who are aiming for the second round, this first step is to create You have to think carefully about the shape, otherwise, it will be greatly affected when refining the treasures next.

The Artifact Refining Contest has already started, and the time is only one hour. Therefore, the time is still very tight. Many Artifact Refiners can't wait, and they are racing against time to turn on the furnace, and the raging flames begin to burn.

For those refiners who don't have condensed cyclones, they don't have the true energy to easily temper the mortal weapons they need in the flames. Therefore, in the first step of casting, body refiners can only use the most clumsy way , using some special auxiliary tools, which will delay a lot of time.

On the Holy Land Square, there was smoke everywhere, and the raging flames even raised the temperature in the entire square a lot, giving it a muggy feeling.

Xia Chen was not in a hurry to refine the weapon. He glanced at Liu Yang from the Lianyun Sect, Han Yan Fairy from the Ice Realm, and Jin Guangcheng from the Fire Barbarian Sect. The shape of a refined treasure.

Xia Chen took a deep breath, and various thoughts were flashing in his mind. The characteristic of black iron ore is that it is hard. It is generally a material for making weapons, and its output is very high in the entire Dongzhou.

However, even if it can be refined into an offensive weapon such as a sharp sword or a broadsword with powerful attack power, it can only be sealed into two soul-gathering pictures at best, which is the limit that the top refiners can achieve.And many talented refiners can only seal a soul-gathering map and refine it into an ordinary treasure.

Relying on such a treasure, it is impossible to get good results. Therefore, many refiners are thinking hard, they don't want to just pass the first round.

"Since it's a refining competition, it must not be that simple. If they are all refined into low-grade treasures, how can we tell the difference?"

Thoughts flashed in Xia Chen's mind. Maybe if you look carefully, the same low-grade treasures can be distinguished, but in such a highly anticipated competition, this is a bit too conservative.

So it shouldn't be that simple.Therefore, Xia Chen looked at some materials on the table again. Although the main material is black iron ore, there are many auxiliary materials, but the amount is very small.

"Eh? Is this a grain of sand from the stars? What a great deal!"

When Xia Chen scanned the auxiliary materials on the table, he suddenly found a small plate containing some grains of star sand. Although there were very few grains of star sand, there were only nine grains of star sand, but even so, it was already a big deal. .

Star sand, in fact, Xia Chen also has it, but he has not used the refining tool yet, but he knows a lot about star sand.The origin of the stars and sand is mysterious. It is rumored that they flew from the sky and landed on the earth.Star sand is very hard, and it is a good material for refining equipment. It is very compatible. As long as some star sand can be added to the material, the quality of the material can be improved to a higher level.

After seeing the stars and sand, Xia Chen immediately understood the purpose of the refining competition. Of course, black iron ore can be refined into treasures, but its material characteristics are already doomed, and it cannot withstand more soul-gathering pictures. No matter how skilled the refiner is, he cannot refine it into a middle-grade treasure.

But if there are star sand grains, it will be different. Once the star sand grains are added, the quality of the black iron ore will definitely be improved, and it will definitely be able to withstand more soul-gathering maps.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen no longer hesitated, stretched out his hand, and the flames in the furnace blazed up, and he threw the black iron ore directly into the furnace.

Xia Chen was the first to do it among the many refiners. Seeing Xia Chen's actions, many people were slightly taken aback. After all, Xia Chen is a genius refiner in Dongtian Pavilion, and he still attracts a lot of attention.But now Xia Chen is one step ahead of everyone else, starting to cast the shape first. Could it be that Xia Chen has given up on himself and is preparing to refine low-grade treasures?
Although some don't understand Xia Chen's approach, there are also some refiners who can't think of deeper intentions, like Xia Chen, and began to cast their shapes.

Time passed by little by little, and finally, Fairy Hanyan, Liu Yang, and Jin Guangcheng also made a move. Their eyes all scanned the stars and sands, and they obviously knew the intentions of these stars and sands, so each one of them was full of confidence Start casting.

At this time, Xia Chen had many thoughts rolling in his mind. The treasure he was going to refine must be ingenious. Even if it is also a middle-grade treasure, it must not be an ordinary middle-grade treasure.

Now Xia Chen's refining method is much better than when he refined the Devil Slaying Sword for Du Shasha, or more mature. He has been positioning the treasure from the first step.

There is no doubt that black iron ore is the most suitable for refining offensive weapons, so Xia Chen still chooses to refine swords.However, after all, black iron ore is not a special material innately. Even if nine grains of star sand are added, it just makes it harder. It is already very good to be able to carry three soul-gathering pictures.

Perhaps its limit can hold four soul-gathering maps, but Xia Chen is not sure that it can be sealed into four soul-gathering maps. Maybe a top refiner can do it right, but Xia Chen obviously hasn't reached this point yet.

Therefore, he never thought about sealing the four soul-gathering maps. Although sealing four soul-gathering maps definitely has a great advantage over sealing three soul-gathering maps, evaluating the strength of a treasure is not just based on its concentration. How much soul map.

Xia Chen believes that Fairy Hanyan, Liu Yang, Jin Guangcheng and others will be able to do well with conventional refining techniques. Their basic skills are stronger than Xia Chen's. After all, they became refiners a few years ago. Xia Chen was much earlier.

Therefore, if Xia Chen can refine the middle-grade treasures of the three soul-gathering pictures, then they can, and even do better. If they want to win the refining competition, they cannot use conventional methods, and must find another way .

Various thoughts were constantly flashing in Xia Chen's mind, and in the furnace, the black iron ore had already turned into molten iron. Xia Chen remained calm, threw nine grains of star sand into the furnace, and quickly It melted and gradually merged into the molten iron of black iron ore.

Although the star sand grains are very compatible, they are two completely different materials after all. Therefore, the star sand grains and black iron ore molten iron are not completely fused, and they are actually wrapped by the star sand grains and divided into clusters of molten iron.

It only takes time for the separated molten iron to fuse together slowly and thoroughly, which is not difficult, but it is this kind of separated molten iron that suddenly flashed a flash of light in Xia Chen's mind.

"Yes, why do you have to refine one sword, can't you refine two or even three swords?"

Xia Chen's heart was shocked, and the inspiration in his mind was quickly transformed into an idea, and this idea was very practical, because this is a typical combination treasure!
