Gate of Immortality
Chapter 99: Hefty Reward
" Three out of seven failed." Elder Li sighed. Three people left out a deep sigh as they came out with a dejected face." You three, Stand here and wait till the time ends." Elder Li told them.
Yang Shi was doing his task meticulously. He took the carving pen and started at his weapon. " No, It might just break apart. Since I added both Mortal Grade and Spirit Grade materials, There is a chance that my weapon can't handle the Spirit diagrams. But currently, I don't have much choice. If I fail now, I won't have time to make another weapon." Yang Shi's brain was working like a supercomputer.
" Anyway, I might just bet everything on this." Yang Shi made his mind as his hands started to carve.
*SWISH SWISH SWISH*
His hands moved like an artist's painting. His throbbing heart became calm as his purple eyes slowly turned azure. He didn't think of success or failure. He only thought about the spirit diagram. The weapon began to thrum as if it would break in the next moment, But Yang Shi didn't mind that as he continued to carve the spirit diagram.
A Spirit weapon can support nine spirit diagrams. The weapon having nine diagrams is said to be the peak tier Spirit Grade weapon. After that, One has to create a treasure spirit to forge a True Rank weapon.
" Bzzzzzzz" The weapon shone with a buzzing sound.
" Ok, Times up." Elder Li rang a bell. The remaining examinee came out of their room. Yang Shi also came out with his newly forged weapon.
" Ok everyone, Show their weapon." Elder Li and Elder Wang stood there to inspect the weapons.
" Hmm, A long dagger with one Spirit diagram, Good." Bothe elder nodded. Then Yun Hong came and showed two flying daggers.
" When these two daggers are used at once, It can be called a whole Spirit grade weapon with three diagrams. Very good." The two elders nodded with approval. Then Huang An came forward and presented a pair of treasures looking like gloves.
" A pair of gloves with retractable claws. Not only it can bolster the physical attacks of a cultivator, but also the hidden claws can be used as a surprise attack. A Spirit grade weapon with four diagrams. Impressive." The eyes of Elder Wang sparkled. He wore the gloves as he channeled his spiritual qi in it.
*WHISSHHH* Elder Wang made several moves with it as he let out a satisfied smiled. " Good, good." He nodded. Looking at his expression, Huang An became ecstatic. At last Yang Shi came.
" HMM?!!!" The eyes of both elders became wide. Yang Shi showed them a Longsword of one meter long. It was pitch black in color and didn't look much refined. Elder Li took the sword and didn't say anything.
He closed his eyes and made a slash with the sword. " WEENNNGGG" With a humming noise, a purple-colored ray slashed out from the sword as it hit the walls of the hall.
*BOOOM* Suddenly, the runes one the pillars lit up as a thin light barrier stopped the purple ray. " Huh, What happened?" The Tower fell in turmoil as a bunch of people came rushing to the forging hall.
" Elder Li, What happened?" Someone asked.
" Calm down everyone, I am just testing this sword." Elder Li gave a wry smile. Everyone there looked at the sword with interest.
" You made a fine Spirit grade Longsword with so few materials. It may be looked ordinary, But it's a Spirit-grade sword with Five Spirit diagrams. I never thought you would able to do it." Elder Li said with a happy tone.
Two white-robed old men came from behind and they whispered something to Elder Li. Elder Li nodded as he took out the mark sheet.
" Everyone, The final marks are out. Yun Hong gets 200 marks in total. Huang An gets 260 marks in total. Yang Shi gets...400 marks." Elder Li announced.
" Wait, How is that possible?" Yun Hong shouted. " Even he did well in the Second and Third test, What about The first test? He couldn't have scored full marks? And Even he did, there is still a gap."
" Heh, You are quite wrong. Not only he answered all of the questions correctly, He even answered ten questions on the wall, which gives him additional 100 marks." Elder Li smiled.
" WHAT!!!" Everyone shouted in astonishment. " Yes, Our elders personally verified his answers. There is no doubt that his answers are correct." Elder Li said.
" What if he got the questions on the wall beforehand this test? What if he memorized the answers before coming here?" Someone raised the question.
" Well, Those questions are changed almost every day. But some of them remained unanswered for years. It's almost impossible to learn them beforehand, And even he did, It's still beneficial to us." Elder Li cast a side-eye to the person who asked. " If you can also solve that, why don't you?" His eyes silently asked the person.
" Fine, Since you three archived score higher than 200, You shall be considered as our seeded members. Not only we will give you the title of Master rank Blacksmith, You will get 20% off when you buy materials from here." Elder Li said with a loud voice. The ears of Huang An, Yun Hong, and Yang Shi's perked up. Especially Yang Shi's as now he can buy high-grade materials for crafting at low prices.
" And Yang Shi, You managed to cross our benchmark of 350 marks. You will get a special reward." Elder Li smiled at Yang Shi.
" Really?" Yang Shi's eye gleamed with excitement. He never thought that coming here would spell him good fortune. " Elder, May I know what is it?" Yang Shi asked eagerly.
"It's a Spirit flame." Elder Li said with a smile. The examinees became silent. The other elders of Golden Fire Tower nodded with agreement. Yang Shi's eyes sparkled with light.
" What grade is it?" Yang Shi asked. "It's a second-grade beast flame. This a beast flame from the core of Purple Rim Winged Snake, an Ancient Beast, similar to human Violet Palace Expansion Realm."
" Heavens, It's a beast flame of an Ancient Beast." Everyone inhaled a deep breath. Even Yun Hong became a little jealous. However, Huang A only smiled.
Spirit Flames are Three types - Natural Flames born under the heavens, The Beast Flames, from the core of Flame attribute beast, Innate Flame, which either from a body with the special constitution or passed down from a powerful ancestor who cultivated the Dao of Fire as a bloodline.
They are categorized from First grade to Ninth grade, Ninth grade is the strongest. Yang Shi's the beast flame of Purple Rim Winged Snake is two or three times powerful than Yang Shi's current innate flame, Which he got from the Crimson Lily. His power will increase simultaneously with his Blacksmithing talent.
