Chapter 455: Refining the Nine Acupoints
Chapter 455: Refining the Nine Apertures
Suddenly, the mirror image focused on Luo Shengsheng, a disciple of Daming Pavilion who was participating in the competition, or rather, it focused on Luo Shengsheng and zoomed in on the image.
At this time, Luo Shengsheng's appearance and temperament were clearly presented in the mirror, causing the women watching from all over to whisper. Women are more lustful than men.
Most of the female audience were attracted by Luo Shengsheng's looks, while the male audience were more rational and mostly paid attention to the movements of Luo Shengsheng's hands.
Most of the flames on Luo Shengsheng's hands had disappeared, or were gradually being restrained. Several colors intertwined together, creating another kind of momentum, and slowly penetrated into the red-hot refining materials.
"As expected, he has absorbed ten divine fires."
“This is already the beginning of the lead.”
A mix of murmurings and discussions began to arise among the various factions that were watching.
Many people at Daming Pavilion already had expressions of relief or smiles on their faces.
Those who are knowledgeable know what is going on, but most of the Mingshan Sect members are blind. Even if it is clearly shown to them, they still cannot understand.
At first, Shi Chun could pretend to be gentle and calm, and he liked to do so in crowded places.
However, if you don't understand, you don't understand. It's too uncomfortable to keep turning a blind eye. Especially after hearing everyone's discussion, I found that I didn't understand anything at all. As a result, I couldn't pretend anymore. I coughed dryly, then leaned over to the Bailian Sect and shouted, "Sect Master Yan."
In the past, no one would dare to be so casual with the leader of a faction.
Yan Qufeng turned his head to look at him, not knowing what he meant. Seeing that he was standing at the junction of the two factions and not coming over, he looked like he didn't want to interfere with other people's affairs. So he had no choice but to walk to the junction of the two factions and asked, "Brother, what advice do you have?"
Shi Chun laughed dryly, "It's not my turn to give advice in this situation. I should ask my senior for advice." He looked up at the bald guy who almost monopolized the mirror image, and raised his chin towards Luo Shengsheng in the field, "What did he mean by that? Why is the fire even weaker?"
The person who asked such a question was simply a novice in refining equipment. Yan Qufeng was speechless. Normally, there was no need for a master like himself to explain such a novice's question. However, now that he was trying to poach someone else's skills, he still had to adjust his attitude.
At least there is no need to get upset at this time. You have to know that this kid is not a good person.
He thought about it, and considering that the other party was an idiot in this regard, he prepared words that the other party could understand before explaining: "The temperature of the materials he has refined has reached a certain level, and he is going to cast a spell to attack the inside of the materials with fire, which means he is going to formally refine the inside of the 'Exquisite Heart'. I don't know how many orifices he plans to refine yet."
Shi Chun said "oh", barely understanding what was said. As for the 'Exquisite Heart' and the like, like the things Miao Yilan asked her mother and the others about, Shi Chun knew about them. After all, Tong Mingshan was also going to participate in this kind of competition, so he would definitely communicate with Tong Mingshan in advance about what they were going to compete in.
So he had already understood the general situation, but he had never seen or known the specific refining steps on site, so he asked for advice temporarily.
The equally ignorant group of Mingshan Sect also benefited from this and also got their doubts resolved.
Since he had already spoken, Shi Chun was not polite, "Sect Master Yan, how many exquisite hearts do you think he can refine after absorbing ten divine fires?"
Yan Qufeng's eyes fell on the incense stick. "It's hard to say. How much of the power of the absorbed divine fire can be utilized is one aspect, and the proficiency in controlling the divine fire is a very critical factor. There is also his own talent for refining equipment, or the ability to refine equipment. The problem now is that there is a time limit.
Those present were basically elite disciples from various sects. If they were given enough time and worked slowly and carefully, they would probably be able to refine the 'Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart'. However, the time for this stick of incense was only one hour, which was really too short for refining a weapon.
Of course, this is a competition, and competitions naturally require rules and restrictive conditions to force out or reveal their true abilities."
Hearing this, Shi Chun cast his gaze towards Tong Mingshan. Not to mention that Yan Qufeng had difficulty in judging Luo Shengsheng, even Tong Mingshan himself didn't know how many orifices of the exquisite heart he could refine within the rules of the competition.
When he first entered the Divine Fire Realm and defrauded the Four Ding Sect, Tong Mingshan boasted to Feng Yaoyang that he could refine a Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart within half a day.
But that was just bragging after all. According to Tong Mingshan himself, even if his cultivation had broken through to a high level of martial arts, it would still take several days to refine the Nine Apertures.
Of course, that was before absorbing the divine fire. It is difficult to make a comparison after absorbing the divine fire.
The main reason was that after Tong Mingshan absorbed the Divine Fire, he had never tried it, and there were no materials for him to try in the Divine Fire Domain. After he came out, he finally got the materials for refining the weapon, but he didn't have enough time.
The competition is about to begin. It is impossible for Tong Mingshan to spend an hour testing his limits. If he wastes all his magic power and energy, how can he compete later?
So, Tong Mingshan himself has no idea about his current strength. Anyway, everyone feels that he should not lose after absorbing twenty-six divine fires, and feels that the chances of winning are quite high.
As the flame in Luo Shengsheng's hand sank into the red-hot iron lump, other lights and shadows faintly flickered inside the iron lump, probably caused by the different colors of the divine fire.
As the mirror image zoomed back to the entire competition arena, the fire in Gu Lianni's hand dimmed, and the situation was similar to that of Luo Shengsheng before.
Yan Qufeng couldn't help but sigh, "The power of the seven divine fires is indeed extraordinary." After using the excuse to change the subject, he turned his head and looked at Shi Chun, "It is said that the daughter of the head of Shu Daoshan was able to obtain these divine fires thanks to you. Why was she able to absorb seven divine fires, while Tong Mingshan only absorbed four?"
This is an easy explanation. Assuming the other party doesn't dare to ask Shu Daoshan to verify, Shi Chun directly threw dirty water and said, "It's simple. Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say and gets more." Yan Qufeng said "oh" twice. After hearing this, he understood. It is completely understandable. After all, it is a behemoth like Shu Daoshan.
The people from Mingshan Sect all turned their heads to look at Shi Chun. What was so interesting about the competition? It was not as shocking as the boss's words.
Wu Jinliang was laughing, but Chu Jingtang and others were sighing. He lied so fluently, so fresh and simple, that what he said was more real than the truth. They were impressed.
Yan Qufeng naturally wanted to ask what the secret method of finding the Divine Fire was, but he knew he was not qualified to ask. After coming out of the Divine Fire Domain, he had been keeping an eye on the Mingshan Sect. He knew that Shi Chun and his gang had been flirting with the ten major sects, so he could guess that it was most likely related to the secret method, so it was not his turn to intervene.
He knew very well that if he dared to meddle in some matters, disaster of extermination of his entire family would not be far away.
At this moment, the fire in Luo Shengsheng's hands became brighter again. He moved his hands through the air, quickly grasping the shape of the refining materials.
In a short while, the soft material was shaped into the shape of a heart.
Yan Qufeng added: "He needs to refine a few orifices, and the results will be revealed soon."
Naturally, this was a response to Shi Chun's previous words. Upon hearing this, Shi Chun also widened his eyes and observed carefully.
Not long after, the object in Luo Shengsheng's hand cracked, emitting flames of various colors. The moment of cracking was as brilliant as a cloud.
The object was forcibly split into nine pieces of different sizes and shapes. The shapes of the pieces were even a little strange, as if they were cut by the power of divine fire, or torn apart. The cracked surface of each piece was covered with holes of varying sizes.
Nine pieces floated in the air in front of him. Luo Shengsheng focused on one of them, concentrating the blazing flames to cover it and tossing it around.
"Nine orifices!"
“It’s the Nine Apertures!”
"He wants to refine the 'Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart' within the time of an incense stick?"
There was a burst of exclamation around, but it did not shake Luo Shengsheng's concentration on refining. The dazzling flames, combined with his demeanor, made him look like a god.
Everyone in Daming Pavilion was very pleased and proud of it.
Of course, some people are still highly wary of Li Hongjiu.
They found that Li Hongjiu was still methodical, and occasionally had the leisure to look at Luo Shengsheng opposite him. Seeing Luo Shengsheng's hard work, he not only did not take it seriously, but occasionally showed a teasing and joking look. No matter how you looked at him, it seemed that he had bad intentions, so how could they not be on guard.
Yan Qufeng also expressed his amazement, "To be able to refine the 'Nine-aperture Exquisite Heart' in just one stick of incense, it seems that it is not just because of the divine fire. It seems that Luo Shengsheng's talent in refining equipment is extraordinary. It seems that Daming Pavilion has been preparing for this day for a long time and has hidden Luo Shengsheng very deeply, just for today's surprise attack."
Shi Chun looked around the situation and asked what he didn't understand, "Sect Master Yan, does the number of pieces equal the number of orifices to be refined?"
Yan Qufeng knew that he had almost no knowledge of this aspect, and explained in detail: "You can say that, but the main reason is not to show this, but mainly because it is difficult to take care of too many things at the same time. When casting a spell, the equipment is in a softened state, and more and more fine pores will be produced later. The control of the fire and the grasp of the strength will become more and more demanding. If there is a slight mistake, the fine veins refined before will be squeezed out.
If you try to focus on both at the same time, not to mention the consumption of your magic power, the consumption of your energy alone will be enormous. Therefore, the best way is to take care of each area one by one, and after refining each piece, you can merge them again.
Among the Nine Orifices, those with more large holes are the easier parts to refine, so people usually refine the simple parts first to save energy for the difficult ones. This is what Luo Shengsheng is doing now.
His first move was to refine the overall material and its general internal structure, and then divide it into nine areas based on the structure and his own refining habits. It is like this now, and when the nine are combined into one, he will be done. "
Elder Pan Gongying on the side interjected, "Even if it is divided into nine areas for refining separately, it is extremely difficult to control the temperature. If you are not careful, the small areas will be squeezed out easily and it will be easy to rework. Therefore, the more divine fires with different properties there are, the easier it will be to take them into consideration. If you can alternate between hot and cold, use both soft and hard methods, etc., you can get twice the result with half the effort."
Shi Chun and his group understood vaguely what was said, at least they got the general meaning.
"Nine orifices again!"
“Look, even Shu Daoshan is going to refine the Nine Apertures!”
"Does Sect Leader Gu's daughter have the confidence to refine the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart within an hour?"
There was another round of exclamation at the scene, and most of the people present were experts.
Upon hearing what was said, Shi Chun and his companions looked over and saw that the refining materials controlled by Gu Lianni were emitting flames and the formed equipment was forcibly divided into nine pieces. While doing this, she was obviously glancing sideways at Luo Shengsheng with an intention of competing with him.
