Chapter 159
The elder of Yuanliu Sect felt that he was very clever.
Although the judging process should not be like this... but everyone in this competition is collectively betting on the pot, what could be more outrageous than this?
Just like after failing the exam, no one will care about wearing socks backwards.
In the face of bigger problems, some small things are insignificant...
The elder of Yuanliu Sect mentioned his ideas to the head of the sect, and the head of Yuanliu Sect did not object, after all, he didn't know how to judge.
So, the elder of Yuanliu Sect directly invited the master of Shenbing Valley and the elders of the six major sects, seven people to serve as judges, and the audience voted together to decide the ranking of the preliminary round.
Although this selection method made everyone feel very novel, they were also worried that some people's selfishness would affect fairness.
Therefore, the master of Shenbing Valley's"cheaters must die" came out again, and whoever dared to make trouble would be beaten.
After the scoring criteria were established, it was the turn of the product display: the contestant began to introduce his entry to the judges and the audience.
The first contestant to appear was a fifth-grade weapon refiner, who looked a little nervous.
Let's zoom in a little bit and take a closer look at the details of the instrument.
Seeing that he had been projected onto the light screen in the sky, contestant No. 1 tried to calm himself down, then raised the basin and began to introduce himself:
"This, um, ritual basin, is made of Qinghe iron, and is of the fifth grade. It is a rice bowl, and it can hold rice.……"
Everyone:...
I really listen to your words, and it's like listening to your words...
But contestant No. 1 is also very upset.
What can he do? He is also very desperate!
Whenever he makes a sword, he can talk about the blade of the sword, the materials used, the effects, the sword formula, etc.
But what can he say about this basin? Ah!
Contestant No. 1 has never encountered such a thing in all his years of ironwork, and his mentality is broken.
Seeing that this link is about to go on, the elder of Yuanliu Sect, who is the guest host, reacts quickly and throws the water bag to the judges:
"A very plain and simple introduction. Now let's hear the opinions of the weapon masters!"
There was silence in the judging panel.
Even the master of the Divine Weapon Valley looked embarrassed and didn't know how to comment.
Just when the elders of the Yuanliu Sect were about to lose the atmosphere, someone suddenly spoke up:
"Qinghe iron is a good material, strong and not easy to deform. Unfortunately, it has a strong thermal conductivity, which can easily cause food to lose temperature quickly.……"
Everyone looked and saw that the person who spoke was Lin Quan from Yanshan.
Lin Quan was originally a well-known weapon refiner. Some time ago, they heard that he suddenly joined Yanshan. Now he directly represented Yanshan to attend the review. Everyone was a little surprised.
After all, Yanshan already had a very experienced weapon refiner, but now they directly sent this newcomer...
Before everyone could think about it, one person snorted coldly and expressed his disapproval:
"Fellow Daoist Lin's words were a little strange. It was just a basin, and hypothermia would not affect its function of holding rice."
The speaker was an elder of the Purple Fei Sect, who had always been at odds with Yan Shan. Everyone was not surprised when he started to argue with Lin Quan.
Lin Quan did not tolerate him, and sneered along with him, saying proudly:
"Isn't the view of the elder of Zifei Sect too superficial?"
"When choosing a rice bowl, you should not only consider its capacity for holding rice, but also something deeper!"
"For example, thermal insulation!"
"For example, some foods should be eaten while hot, while some cold foods must be chilled to taste better! Temperature changes will greatly affect the taste of food!"
The elder of the Purple Fei Sect frowned. He was unwilling to be led by Lin Quan, and continued to refute with his neck stiff:
"So what? It's just a little different in taste, what's the big deal? How can a cultivator indulge in the mere desire of food and drink!"
Lin Quan shook his head, looking at the expression of the elder of Zi Fei Sect, it was as if he was saying 'a rotten tree cannot be carved'.
Lin Quan said disdainfully:"Elder of Zi Fei Sect, I just said, don't forget, what are the questions for the preliminary round?"
"It's a rice bowl!"
"The function of a rice bowl is to hold rice, to provide convenience and comfort to the user, and to allow the user to better taste the deliciousness of the food!"
"When we refine instruments, we naturally pay attention to the user's feelings! Only by meeting the needs of the other party can we refine the best aid to help the cultivator!"
"If you don't even care about the basic requirements of the test questions, how can you judge correctly!"
Lin Quan's sonorous output stunned everyone present.
If you think about it carefully, it does make some sense...
The test question is the rice bowl, right?
Then it is reasonable to use the need to use the rice bowl as the judging standard!
Everyone was thinking in a trance, as if what was being evaluated at this moment was not the bowl, but the ideological connotation of the weapon refiners...
The owner of the Divine Weapon Valley also fell silent.
After a long time, she raised her head and looked at Lin Quan with approval:
"Fellow Daoist Linquan, we are learning from you."
Previously, she also disdained the outrageous test questions, thinking that it was a humiliation to the weapon refiners.
Now it seems that she was obsessed.
No matter what kind of magic weapon is refined, it must be handed over to the cultivators for use.
The magic weapon that can meet the needs of the cultivators is an excellent magic weapon.
"Senior Lin Quan, thank you for your teachings!"
The contestant No. 1 also bowed to Lin Quan gratefully.
He had many prejudices against this question before, but now it seems that his thoughts were not deep enough and he did not see through the true meaning hidden under this question...
Now, he has realized it!
He failed today, but it doesn't matter.
He has learned (waste)!
One day, he will be able to refine a basin that perfectly meets the needs of cultivators!
Lin Quan nodded with satisfaction.
Look, this junior has a good understanding!
Much better than the old man who keeps nagging next to him!
Lin Quan encouraged contestant No. 1. , both sides were extremely happy for a while.
Only the face of the elder of Zifei Sect turned blue and purple.
He really wanted to ask: Are you possessed or what? Can you believe such nonsense? No matter what, isn’t that basin a bowl for eating? No matter how hard you refine it, can you refine it to the sky?
But even the master of Shenbing Valley, who is the number one in the refining world, agreed with Lin Quan. No matter how much he refused to accept it, he could only hold it in...
Considering that there were so many contestants behind, the elder of Yuanliu Sect had to interrupt the conversation between Lin Quan and contestant No. 1 and called the contestants behind to come up and show.——
"Hello, seniors. My rice bowl is made of red iron and is of the fifth grade.……"
"The material selection is good, but the mouth of the bowl you forged is a bit narrow, which makes it inconvenient to eat from, especially when drinking soup... Since it is a rice bowl, you must pay attention to the experience of eating!"
"Yes! Thank you, Senior Lin, for your advice!"
"Dear seniors……"
The contestants in front finished their presentations one by one, and the contestants behind followed one by one to introduce themselves.
During the presentation, Lin Quan spoke eloquently, from the size of the appearance, to the depth and width, from the feel of use, to the edible performance, Lin Quan was able to talk about everything, and everyone was stunned.
It really makes people very confused, how much research does this guy have on rice bowls?
A weapon refiner doesn't think about weapons and protective gear, but thinks about rice bowls every day...
Soon, the next contestant came up with his work.
Everyone's eyes suddenly became a little subtle.
Because this contestant is Lin Quan's only disciple, Lin Qin.
Will Lin Quan give Lin Qin a break...
Everyone thought about it, and before they could think about it for a while, they heard Lin Qin say:
"Master, please sit down. You don’t understand this basin, and you can’t control it. Let me explain it."
Everyone:?
Lin Quan: …traitor!
