Devour

Chapter 115: The Prototype of Refining Equipment

Cheng Bai was surprised and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, why are you crying?"

Lu Miaoting quickly wiped away her tears and smiled, "I am happy. I vaguely remember that when I was a child, my grandfather held me in his arms once and gave me a wooden Hunter King medal to play with. It turns out that this is what everyone is so proud of."

She looked up into Cheng Bai's eyes and said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, forget it."

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Lu Miaoting said happily: "Dabai, are you really going to give it to me?"

Cheng Bai looked at her beautiful eyes, his heart throbbing, and he couldn't help but say: "No matter how good it is, it can't compare to you."

Lu Miaoting was overjoyed, but shook her head and said, "But you won it at the conference, and it has your name and mark engraved on it. Only you can take it to participate in the examination. It is just an object to me, but it is useful to you."

Cheng Bai urged, "Just take it as an ornament and enjoy it. What use is the fame in the imperial examination to me? How can it compare to the charming smile of a confidante?"

Lu Miaoting looked at the Hunter King Medal and rubbed it for a while. She was satisfied and returned it to Cheng Bai. She said faintly, "You need to use it to pass the exam and go to the Emperor Star. That is the dream of the young people of the Gentlemen Clan and the expectation of the elders. It is out of reach for me. You have wasted a great opportunity for me."

Cheng Bai was absent-minded, so he put it away casually, thinking to himself: "It's a pity that I'm not a member of the Gentleman Clan, so I don't have that psychological burden. Is it better to eat here in the Emperor Star?"

Lu Miaoting had no idea what he was thinking, so she just said with longing: "It is said that if one person attains enlightenment, all his family members will ascend to heaven. Who knows, someone in the Junzi clan may really ascend to become an immortal saint, and then he can bless the entire clan and benefit all living beings."

Cheng Baiqi asked, "Aren't the Gentlemen Clan highly valued by the Great Emperor and in charge of the Qiongqi Continent? Why do they still want to pursue becoming a Saint?"

Lu Miaoting said: "The Gentlemen Clan did obey the orders of the Great Emperor Yunmen and made great contributions, but they only obtained a remote and remote land at the end of the marginal star field as their fiefdom. This is closely related to the strength of the Gentlemen Clan itself. We don't even have a terrestrial immortal. What's more, the previous emperor has passed away, and the current situation of the Emperor Star is unclear. If there is a peerless strongman as the backbone of the clan, even if there is a celestial immortal who wins the favor of the new emperor, the status of the clan will be greatly different."

Cheng Bai thought of the four major races described in the murals of the Cloud Sky Palace and asked, "What is the status of the Undead and Xuanyuan races?"

Lu Miaoting said: "They are much stronger than the Gentlemen Clan, especially the Xuanyuan Clan. I heard that they are the powerful ministers of the Emperor Star Human Clan, and they have many saints and immortals. They are deeply trusted by Emperor Yunmen."

Cheng Bai thought to himself, "I wonder who the new emperor will be. If I can curry favor with him, I'm sure everyone in the Gentlemen Clan will be vying for him."

Lu Miaoting raised her cup and said with a smile, "Anyway, congratulations to Dabai for taking the first step towards success. I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight."

Cheng Bai took out the wine god gourd and poured her some wine, laughing softly, "I just went to the Faceless Great Rift Valley to get the Earth Spirit Wine. Don't drink too much. If you get drunk, no one will help you back to the house tonight."

Having said that, he finally helped the drunk Lu Miaoting upstairs to rest.

The fragrance of the girl made Cheng Bai's heart beat fast, but the shadow of Ningxiang flashed before his eyes. He just settled the drunk woman down, returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the Zhenwu stone bed and concentrated on practicing.

Since lighting the brilliant spiritual lamp, his skills have greatly improved. The way he uses fire power is very different from before. When he stretches out his ten fingers, brilliant golden flames float and burn fiercely. The sharp energy surges and becomes like a blade. The Molten Gold Hand has achieved some initial success.

This martial art has a very high basic requirement and can only be practiced after reaching the Guigen Realm. Although it is called "Melting Gold", it is not a pure martial art of circulating fire power, but rather it is about controlling the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements, regulating the Five Elements' fire to break through the hard and destroy the sharp, thereby melting gold and turning iron. There are five levels in total: controlling earth, controlling fire, controlling wood, controlling water, and controlling gold.

It is not the five realms of cultivation in the conventional sense, but gold, wood, water, fire and earth each have five levels. It does not necessarily require the Fire Qi to activate it. Everyone can start with one of the Five Elements according to their own qualifications and characteristics of the practice, and eventually reach the peak of the fifth level.

At this time, gold and iron can be melted and forged into different weapons with incredible power. If used to attack the body, the five levels of the realm have five killer moves that are indestructible.

Cheng Bai's gold, wood, and fire roots were the best, and with the Six Paths of Supreme Power and Six Paths of Bliss as his foundation, he made rapid progress. Before lighting the brilliant spirit lamp, in a short period of time, the gold, wood, and fire roots had each reached a level. After lighting the lamp, he became more sensitive to the vitality of heaven and earth, and his fire root quickly rose to the second level.

But this did not work, because the Molten Gold Hand was actually a very difficult martial art to practice, and it required the balance of the five elements to allow them to interact and operate smoothly. Therefore, at least the water and earth elements had to be cultivated to the first level before the first killing move of this martial art could be brought into play.

With the help of the Zhenwu Stone Bed and the Brilliant Spirit Lamp, he absorbed the vital energy of heaven and earth and grew rapidly. After a few days, the water and earth elements of the Molten Gold Hand were cultivated to the first level, and the five elements were complete, and he practiced the first move "Burning Gold and Splitting Earth".

Today was the day for melting wax and casting the Four Symbols Cauldron as planned. Cheng Bai specially changed into a brand new three-color moonlight deerskin coat, and he was as happy as if it were a holiday.

On the treasure quenching platform, the most outstanding elite disciples of Bailian Hall held their breath and concentrated their energy, watching the sect leader forging treasures.

The master was personally working on the craft, publicly demonstrating his skills in front of his disciples. The elders of the sect all told them to watch carefully, as such opportunities are rare. Cheng Bai also watched intently, taking note of every detail of the craft.

Fang Wanzhan used the lava crystal fire to form clusters of orange-yellow flame crystals, which enveloped the clay mold of the tripod in the bright light. The high temperature quickly forced out the wax, leaving behind the refractory clay. A cavity was formed inside, and the outer mold of the Four Symbols Tripod was finally completed.

The Demon-Burning Cauldron, which was ready, exerted its power, sucking out all the air from the cavity of the cauldron mold and at the same time slowly pouring the molten Jinli Fire and Youjin Liquid from the casting mouth of the Four Symbols Cauldron's outer mold into the cavity without a drop leaking out. After cooling, the body of the cauldron was formed.

Fang Wanzhan was very satisfied and said, "Lihuo Youjin is difficult to melt. The only spiritual artifacts in the sect that can do this are the Demon Burning Cauldron, which is also made of Lihuo Youjin, and the top-grade magical artifact Yanlong Cauldron, which is forged from burning star gold. Other commonly used black iron furnaces and cauldrons cannot do this. If this can be accomplished, this Four Symbols Cauldron will definitely be far superior to the previous works."

The Qi Sect has a history of thousands of years. One must first refine the Black Iron Cauldron before one can refine the Flame Dragon Cauldron; and only with the Flame Dragon Cauldron can one refine the Demon-Burning Cauldron; and now with the Demon-Burning Cauldron, one can finally forge the Four Symbols Cauldron. One step at a time, the future is promising.

As the Four Symbols Cauldron took shape, it emitted a faint dark red halo, and the light penetrated the mud and gradually became stronger.

A disciple from the Reception Hall hurried over and whispered to Chi Zhongming.

Chi Zhongming was the head of the reception hall, so he stepped forward to report, "Master, we have distinguished guests. The emperor and four kings of the Glorious Legion and the leader of the Hunter Guild are coming one after another and are heading to the Liangyi Hall. Uncle Zhuang has come out to receive them."

Sanxian Valley bid farewell to more than a month of desertedness and welcomed another wave of distinguished guests.

Cheng Bai heard this and thought to himself, "Could the First Emperor be Yun Juan? Her last name is also Yun, what is her relationship with the Great Emperor Yunmen? She always wears a mask, could this be related?"

Fang Wanzhan was quite pleased and said, "Just let Elder Zhuang receive me. I will go over later. The appearance of this treasure will demonstrate the power of our Qipai Sect. It will no longer be hidden in the valley and will surely be famous all over the world. After three hours, we will remove the mold and take out the tripod, and then repair and polish it. Cheng Bai, Chi Zhongming, it's up to the two of you."

Cheng Bai and Chi Zhongming said yes.

The Glorious Legion is now famous, and it is rumored that its leader is the Queen of Yunmen, who has an extraordinary status, so Qi Zong naturally dare not neglect her.

Yun Juan led the group riding the Golden Griffin King, Shen Ya rode the Chilong Beast, He Lipang rode the Black Mist Demon Leopard King, Xing Jue drove the Nine-tailed Scorpion Lion, Ruan Taoran rode the Iron-back Bear, and behind them were a hundred elite riders, all riding Saber-toothed Cats, both men and women, in neat formation.

The Hunter's Guild's team was also well-organized, and Cen Ge arrived in a Qixin carriage.

A few nobles in Qiongqi Continent own the Qixin Chariot, which is a precious treasure with three wheels, an outer shell inlaid with silver and gold, and an inner lining of animal skins, which is magnificent. Riding on it does not require people or horses to push it, and you can go east or west as you wish. Very few people own it.

The twelve riders behind Cen Ge were the Twelve Silver Sail Emissaries of the Hunter Guild. They were dressed in luxurious silver mail armor, with blue, red, and black masks on their faces, and they all rode black horses.
