Chapter 456 Motives
Luo Shengsheng just glanced at Gu Lianni because of the noise and did not take her seriously, which shows his noble character.

"Uncle Master, well done!"

A group of Shudaoshan disciples cheered and shouted, extremely excited.

Yuan Yao and Pang Hou, who were also at the competition arena and took a look, were secretly shocked when they saw this. They were relatively familiar with Gu Lianni's talent for refining weapons. Although she had the blessing of seven divine fires, they were still worried whether she could practice all nine orifices in one go.

Not only him, but also the top leaders of Shudao Mountain, especially the leader Gu Yanduo, subconsciously tightened their lips and were secretly nervous. However, none of them had the experience of absorbing the seven sacred fires, and they couldn't figure out whether it was within Gu Lianni's ability.

They did not doubt Gu Lianni's ability to refine the Nine Apertures, but the time limit was a big problem. If she wanted to refine it within the time of an incense stick, could the blessing of the seven divine fires really be enough?

Because of Gu Lianni's behavior, Shi Chun was secretly relieved. If Gu Lianni's seven divine fires were enough, there was no reason why Tong Mingshan's twenty-six divine fires would not be enough.

He had asked Tong Mingshan about this before, and Tong Mingshan also had doubts about whether he could cultivate the Nine Apertures within the specified time. He had never tried it, so he was not sure.

"I'm sure she can cultivate the Nine Apertures within one stick of incense. Incredible, incredible. It seems that Sect Leader Gu really has a good way of educating his daughter!"

Yan Qufeng couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes, which were scanning the competition field, were startled and widened slightly.

There was another round of exclamation.

"Ah, the Nine Apertures again!"

"It's from Jinmaotang!"

"How many divine fires did he absorb?"

"After absorbing four divine fires, can I refine the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart within one hour?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Jinmaotang disciple Mi Liangmeng. Just as everyone exclaimed, this dull and unprepossessing young man actually cut the equipment in his hand into nine parts and began to conquer them one by one.

On the stands, everyone in Jin Maotang was staring as if petrified. Even their own people found it hard to believe.

"Is one hour really enough?" An elder of the Jinmao Hall asked the headmaster beside him.

The headmaster said with a worried look on his face, "His talent and refining skills are beyond doubt, but one hour is indeed tight. If he wants to try to refine the Nine Apertures, he can try it step by step. If you get the framework in place all at once, if one part fails, you have to start all over again. You can't afford to waste time."

The elder also said worriedly: "It's just the beginning now, it may not be too late to regret, should we try to remind him?"

The head of the sect groaned and said, "This kid is slow to speak but quick to act. He is a steady man. I hope he is really sure of himself."

No matter how steady he is, he cannot change the fact that Mi Liangmeng is a young man, not to mention a young man who is used to being an outstanding person in the sect in the eyes of others.

He himself actually had doubts about whether or not to refine the Nine Apertures, or he was not sure, but the reality was that it was easy to provoke the bloodiness of young people. It was okay for Luo Shengsheng to have ten divine fires, but it turned out that Gu Lianni, who had seven divine fires, was also trying to refine the Nine Apertures. This was a bit stimulating.

There is a difference of three between the seven divine fires and his four divine fires. According to the experience summed up by the predecessors in the weapon refining world, the difference of three is just stuck at a certain juncture, which is suppressed but has the last glimmer of hope.

The problem is that Gu Lianni's strength is obvious to all. As the daughter of the head of Shudao Mountain, she is too conspicuous. All the sects have long paid close attention to her. The assessment given by the sect is that Gu Lianni's talent for refining equipment is not as good as his.

Besides, Gu Lianni is a woman, so how could he be inferior to a woman who is less talented than himself?

Once you are full of energy, why not give it a try? The chances of winning are slim, and losing won't affect you at all.

Furthermore, if you don't refine the Nine Apertures, there will be no hope of winning the championship. Refining the Nine Apertures may still leave a glimmer of hope.

The number of divine fires is certainly an advantage, but this is the first time for everyone to combine and utilize them. It is unknown who can control them more skillfully until the end.

So he decisively made a plan to refine the Nine Apertures, vowing to compete and see who was better.

Similarly, Luo Shengsheng only glanced at him because of the noise. When he withdrew his gaze, he glanced at Li Hongjiu opposite him. As a result, he found that his eyes met Li Hongjiu again. Li Hongjiu still had a playful look on his face, as if he was watching a monkey show and was watching himself as a monkey, as if his efforts were not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Focus! Focus!
He reminded himself repeatedly in his heart and calmed down his Tao mind which was almost messed up.

At this point, he no longer has the energy to be on guard. If the other party insists on attacking him in the competition arena, there is nothing he can do. Now he can only put his hope on the sect.

Li Hongjiu actually worked very hard and tried his best, but how can one describe his kind of hard work? It was the kind of hard work that was based on the three divine fires. The refining speed of the three divine fires was what it should be, and he just tried his best.

He would not fight like Gu Lianni and Mi Liangmeng. He is actually a very open-minded person, not the competitive type. He would not fight desperately unless he is pushed to that point. At least in his opinion, the current things and people have not reached the point where he needs to fight desperately.

However, this nonchalant attitude, as if watching a monkey show, caught the eyes of Yanbaozong and caused many sighs. Even Guanghaoyou and other disciples could not help but sigh. The uncle's lack of ambition came back again.

Sect leader Qu Wuming raised the corners of his mouth again and again, and there was a look of anger in his eyes when he looked at his disciple. He really wanted to ask, everyone else is doing their best, what are you doing?
But it is understandable. Since he can't win the championship anyway, this guy has no intention of making equipment as his main job and doesn't take his reputation in equipment-refining skills seriously.

But the thing is, you have to at least put in a minimum performance in this competition. You should show how many orifices you have refined. What's the point of just looking around and watching others?

Qu Wuming has a deep understanding of what it means to be disappointed in someone. He has broken so many sticks on his way to becoming a successful person.

The fact that even Mi Liangmeng could do it gave Shi Chun more confidence, so Shi Chun's eyes met Tong Mingshan's and he nodded slightly to Tong Mingshan, suggesting that he should not be so low-key anymore, just let go and start, because the success or failure of this battle depended on this one.

Tong Mingshan understood and cast a spell immediately. With a good sense of measure, he cut the equipment into nine parts in public, causing flames to fly everywhere.

This move caused a lot of people to exclaim in surprise. "Another Nine Apertures!"

"It's the nominal leader of Mingshan Sect!"

"No, where does he get the confidence to refine the Nine Apertures? Does he think he has also received the true teachings of the Ten Great Sects?"

Not to mention outsiders, even the people from Bailian Sect were stunned on the spot, and Tong Mingshan's master Luo Wan was even more dumbfounded.

The Mingshan Sect was the only one in the audience who looked so excited that they were rubbing their hands, as if they were all waiting to see the big show.

If he hadn't been stopped by Shi Chun's gaze, Wu Jinliang wanted to raise his arms and shout again.

On the grandstand of the training ground in the capital of Shengshenzhou, the man in brocade clothes who was sitting and talking with Wei Mo, caught a glimpse of the situation in the mirror and was also stunned for a moment. He turned back to look at Wei Mo and said in surprise: "Brother Wei, am I short-sighted or what? Do the people of Mingshan Sect also need to refine the Nine Apertures to compete?"

Wei Mo thought he had some knowledge, but he was not sure at this time and said, "It should be."

Bian Weiying and the other two looked at each other.

Gong Yuanzhi, who was watching leisurely on the terrace, said in astonishment: "He also wants to refine the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart?"

No one could answer him, and everyone was staring at the mirror in a daze.

An Wuzhi and Zhu Xiangxin, who were guarding the valley entrance, were extremely excited. They knew that the hidden strength of the sect leader was finally going to be revealed. They believed that after today, Tong Mingshan would become famous all over the world!
There was a lot of noisy discussions on the beach. The man in green and Xiang Lan'er turned their heads to look at Feng Chi one after another. They saw that Feng Chi's eyes were shining and his fists were clenched tightly, showing excitement and anticipation.

The two looked at the mirror again, wondering in their hearts, could it be that they were predicted by this woman again, and did they really have the ability to win the championship?
Mulan, who was pacing back and forth with her hands behind her back in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, slowly stopped and stared at the picture in the mirror without moving.

Young Master Nan, who was halfway up the mountain, stood up again subconsciously, leaned forward and stared at the competition arena, his mouth slightly open.

"Alas, I was acting on impulse."

Yan Qufeng, the leader of Bailian Sect in the stands, finally let out a sigh.

Shi Chun blinked, turned around and looked at him, and asked, "Why do you say that, Sect Master Yan?"

Yan Qufeng seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he shook his head slightly and made no comment.

"Oh." Luo Wan also sighed.

Shi Chun was amused and somewhat unhappy to see such a pessimistic view, so he asked, "Senior Luo, when Tong Mingshan was in Bailian Sect, what did you think of his talent in refining weapons? Was he the best?"

Luo Wan didn't have a good impression of him. It was all because of this guy that the master and the apprentice were in their current situation, so he said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "It's still good."

In other words, his talent in refining equipment is not the best.

Yan Qufeng added a nice remark, "His ability is still outstanding."

Shi Chun could understand this. Even the best talent in refining weapons would not be sent to the Rain of Meteors Conference to fight and kill. He deliberately looked at the Bailian Sect with contempt, "Just Shangjia? It seems that Tong Mingshan was right to leave the Bailian Sect, because you never really cared about him."

Wu Jinliang chuckled when he heard that. The Mingshan Sect's group looked at the Bailian Sect with strange eyes.

Luo Wan was unhappy when he heard this, "No one has the right to say such things in front of me!"

"Hey!" Yan Qufeng quickly made a gesture to stop him, frowned and shook his head slightly at him, indicating that now was not the time to be serious and offend him.

Inside the competition arena, Xu Mang, a disciple of Jingyang Palace, hesitated for a while after stopping his movements. After repeatedly observing Luo Shengsheng, Gu Lianni and Mi Liangmeng, he finally did not dare to act impulsively and made a decision to face reality. The equipment in his hand split into seven pieces in public.

Many people nodded slightly, thinking that this was a decision made within their capabilities.

Huang Chunzhu, a disciple of Fu Minggu who followed closely behind, also hesitated for a while, and finally decided to divide the equipment into seven parts.

Yuan Yao, who was calm and without pressure, followed suit.

These were all people who had absorbed the three divine fires. Yanbao Sect's leader Qu Wuming looked at the other person who had absorbed the three divine fires, and then looked at his own disciple, his teeth bared. He felt that his disciple's talent was clearly superior to these people, but he just didn't strive to improve himself.

If we continue like this, what's the point of comparing heads and making a disgrace of ourselves?
He turned to the elder beside him and said, "Forget it, don't let him compete anymore, let him leave."

If he continued reading, he was afraid he would lose control of his anger.

Unexpectedly, the elder was startled suddenly, staring blankly at the scene without any response.

So Qu Wuming looked back again, only to see that Li Hongjiu had slowly withdrawn his hand and was holding the heart-shaped device in front of him with one hand. He was as calm as still water, gazing at the sky in the distance.

There is no intention to divide and refine the equipment.

This was indeed the case. The whole person seemed to have entered a certain state of mind, which also calmed Qu Wuming down.

Suddenly, Li Hongjiu's robe moved without wind.

He held his left hand like a flower, pointing it upside down, muttering to himself: "With a little power from heaven and earth, it has always flowed through the ages..."
