Chapter 158
Regardless of what everyone was thinking, the preliminary round began as usual.
The weapon refiners looked at the hammers in their hands in confusion, and their memories seemed to have returned to the time when they first learned to refine weapons. Some were surprised, some were confused, and some were hesitant... In sharp contrast to the other weapon refiners were the weapon refiners of Yanshan.
Although, they were also quite surprised... so surprised that they began to suspect whether their deputy head had secretly bribed the chief examiner.
Otherwise, how could there be such... such a test question that seemed to be given for free?
The disciples of Yanshan all felt that their deputy head might really be able to do such a thing...
(Ye Yusong, whose reputation was harmed:...)
Seeing the other disciples exchanging glances with each other, Lin Qin coughed lightly:
"Brothers, let’s start refining quickly. In order to live up to our efforts over the past few days, we must give it our all!"
"Yes!"
Yanshan's weapon refiners were immediately excited, holding up their hammers and lighting the furnace fire, and they also ignited a raging fighting spirit.
You said that if we compete in other things, we may not win.
But, competing in making basins?
It's ridiculous, I don't believe that there is anyone in this world of immortal cultivation who can make basins better than me, Yanshan!
The Yanshan weapon refiners began to clang and bang in full swing.
The other weapon refiners saw that someone had already started, so they certainly couldn't just stand there and do nothing. No matter whether the test questions were normal or not, passing the preliminary round was the most important thing now.
So, the other weapon refiners also started to click. The furnace was lit, and the forging started with the sound of ping-pong.
Zhu Fan found the competition among the weapon refiners interesting.
The forging process of weapon refiners is somewhat similar to that of blacksmiths, but it is also very different.
At least ordinary people can't throw the hammer into the sky to transform into a dragon and fill in the cracks in the mountains and rivers (sing). In addition to those who can transform into dragons, there are also those who can transform into cows, metamorphose, and change gender.
The one who transformed is just like Zhai Ye, whose body has become huge all of a sudden. He can crush the basin with his bare hands after throwing the hammer.
As for the metamorphosis... well, it's just as the name suggests, The man somehow managed to change the hammer in his hand into the shape of a woman, and then he and his partner took turns forging hammers, and their speed was much faster than others.
I had always heard that weapon refiners would cherish their hammers as much as they cherished their Taoist partners. Now it seems that this is not a rumor...
The various strange methods used in the whole venue once again refreshed Zhu Fan's understanding of the world of cultivation.
Before watching the competition, Zhu Fan really didn't expect that weapon refining could be played like this. Now he was so curious that even the potato chips in his mouth tasted more delicious.
Ye Yusong, who was standing aside, didn't know that his reputation was damaged. He was very pleased to see that the weapon refiners were so motivated.
Originally, Lin Qin should have followed the large group to Yuanliumen on the magic weapon ship, but she was in a critical period of breakthrough at that time and could not be interrupted, so she arrived two days late.
Now it seems that her progress is indeed rapid.
While Lin Quan was pleased with his apprentice's progress, he looked at the performance of others and seemed to have an irrepressible smile.
Seeing that others looked at him with a strange expression, Lin Quan smiled and explained:
"Although refining a rice bowl sounds outrageous and superficial, and does not have high requirements like weapons, it is not something that can be made casually."
"First of all, considering the usage habits of the disciples, the basin cannot be too small. Materials such as blue heart crystal that are relatively small and cannot be spliced together are not suitable."
"Secondly, the disciples would increase their strength when eating, so the rice bowl must be hard enough, otherwise it would be deformed after a long time of use. Minerals with good ductility, such as Qianren Mine, must not be used."
"Also, try to keep the temperature of the food as much as possible, and materials that easily lose heat are not suitable.……"
Lin Quan talked eloquently, and the people around him were stunned.
Especially Zhu Fan, who was stunned.
Isn't it true that our Yanshan has already made such a profound study on rice bowls? Is there so much to pay attention to when making a bowl?
Also, aren't the blue heart crystal and Qianren ore you just mentioned quite rare materials? Is it really okay to be so disdainful...
On the contrary, Zhai Ye nodded more and more as he listened, and took the opportunity when Lin Quan stopped drinking his drink to ask:
"Elder Lin, what material do you think is the most suitable for my rice bowl?"
Lin Quan thought for a moment and said,"If it can withstand the power of the extreme realm... the ninth-level cold dragon bone should be a good material."
"The Youqiu Hanlong is huge, its horns and bones are extremely hard, and its heat preservation is also very good.……"
In a cold pond thousands of miles away, a blue dragon suddenly shivered inexplicably.
Dark Cold Dragon: Cold? How is it possible? I have never known what cold means since I was born...
Lin Quan wanted to say more, but Ye Yusong forcibly stopped the topic.
But he must not be allowed to continue, otherwise a certain Husky leader who is ready to make a move will not be able to suppress his inner restlessness again...
After that, Lin Quan talked about his views on other contestants, so that everyone had some impressions of those weapon-making geniuses.
The weapon-making masters were not slow. Although they were confused for a while at the beginning, they did it quite quickly after getting the hang of it.
After the time was up, all the contestants presented their works in front of them.
However, the judges were in trouble again.
This, this rice bowl, how to score it? ? ?
When evaluating magic weapons in the past, it was so simple! You can know the power of the weapon by chopping at the target with a knife or sword.
After multiple people have tried it many times, they will give a score, and then talk about the feel, adaptability and other issues, and basically they can judge the level of the weapon.
Defensive magic weapons are even simpler. Just put all the magic weapons together, raise a magic ball and fire a shot to see the specific defensive performance of those magic weapons.
But this rice bowl... how to judge? Ask someone to come and serve rice to see which one holds it well?
Or ask someone to come and eat on the spot to see which bowl eats the most delicious food?
There are so many bowls in the competition, can you eat them all? (Four sects disciples: I can! I can!)
It can't be that two bowls collide to decide who is the bowl king, right?
This is not a weapon or protective gear, what can you compare by bumping into each other?
At this moment, the chief judge is worried, and he is so angry that he pulls his hair.
The elder of Yuanliu Sect also has a painful face at this moment.
He looked terrible when he handed out the test questions just now, and he didn't think about how to judge in the subsequent judging...
The elder of Yuanliu Sect wanted to beat up those guys who voted for the second time.……
……Hmm? Voting?
The elder of Yuanliu Sect suddenly had an idea.
Aren't such outrageous questions chosen by voting?
Then, when judging, there should be no problem in voting, right?
