Chapter 459: Lian Zong Didn’t Teach Well
Chapter 459: Bailian Sect Didn’t Teach Well
The Mingshan Sect's group was still staring at Tong Mingshan. They naturally understood what the only two remaining black and white flames were, and they also saw that Tong Mingshan was once again focused on the competition.
Zuo Zisheng, a disciple of Liantian Sect, was completely desperate. Before, he still held on to a glimmer of maybe and possibility. He had calculated that Luo Shengsheng might fail, that Gu Lianni, a woman, might not have that ability, and that Mi Liangmeng of Jinmaotang was a bit overestimating his abilities in refining the Nine Apertures.
As for Tong Mingshan, who came from a small sect, he didn't take him seriously, even though he absorbed one more divine fire than himself.
After considering various possibilities, he felt that he had a glimmer of hope and thought that refining the Eight Apertures might be the best option.
Now Li Hongjiu, who had absorbed three divine fires like himself, suddenly came up with this move, which made him feel how absurd and ridiculous his previous calculations were, and instantly made him completely despair.
He has completely given up on being the first.
Now, he could only work hard for his own face and the face of the sect, and refine this Eight-Aperture Exquisite Heart in the best and fastest way possible.
Xu Mang, a disciple of Jingyang Palace, and Huang Chunzhu, a disciple of Fuming Valley, also gave up their unrealistic hopes because of Li Hongjiu's help and focused on refining their Seven Aperture Exquisite Hearts.
The same was true for everyone else. They admitted in their hearts that their skills were not as good as others and no longer considered themselves to be on the same level as Li Hongjiu and Luo Shengsheng.
The people on the competition field were busy and focused again, with flames of various colors flickering there.
Of course, everyone still has their own goals, and from time to time they will glance at the refining progress of their target opponent.
A large portion of the audience from all walks of life in front of the sky-viewing mirror could not understand the progress of the refining, and some of them would ask those who knew from time to time.
Some people did not take this competition too seriously. For example, Wei Mo, who was on the stands of the parade ground in the capital of Shengshenzhou, was chatting with a man in gorgeous clothes next to him. His words clearly implied that, "I can personally bring people from Wukang Mountain to see you today, just to tell you that these are my people!"
Things are still undecided, and it is hard to say much about the future.
At the parade ground in the capital of Shanbuzhou, Qian She and his gang, who had left Lihuo Island in a huff, actually appeared on the parade stands.
Young Master Nan personally contacted them using the mother-child talisman and told them the good news, saying that the Liantian Sect would not be able to take first place. With so many people betting on the Liantian Sect, it is a blessing in disguise for us and we may make a fortune!
Although Master Qianshe seemed to have distanced himself from the gambling in his previous words and wanted Master Nan to be solely responsible for it, how could Master Nan forget them if he really made a fortune?
If something really happens, he can take the blame alone. When he gets rich, he has to forget the previous unpleasantness, not take other people's words seriously, and take the initiative to give others a way out and let them share a piece of the pie.
Then Qian She and his gang forgot their previous unhappiness and rushed to the mirror to see the final result of the competition. They also brought experts with them to comment. After confirming that Liantian Sect was at a disadvantage and had no hope of winning the championship, the group celebrated, applauded, and started talking about "Brother Nan" all the time.
Master Nan also became busy with the mother-and-child talisman in his hand because people kept contacting him.
They told him to contact them if he had any problems, to keep an eye on the scene, and to let them know if they needed help, etc...
"Five orifices!"
Yan Qufeng, the leader of Bailian Sect, who was staring at Luo Shengsheng's refining progress, suddenly exclaimed in amazement, amazed at his refining speed.
He was not the only one who was staring at Luo Shengsheng's refining progress, and he was not the only one who was amazed.
Shi Chun stared at it for a long time but still didn't understand. He only saw Luo Shengsheng change the sixth piece of equipment to refine it.
If you really don't understand something, just ask. He asked, "Sect Master Yan, how can you tell if it's been refined?"
Yan Qufeng stared at the scene and replied casually: "Look at the color. After the equipment is burned red, it has a certain degree of transparency. When the color of the divine fire flows through it, the transparent color can be used as a basis for judgment..."
He was startled when he said this, and turned his head to look at Shi Chun. Seeing him staring at the scene with wide eyes, he smiled and said, "This, speaking of it, it is hard to explain at the moment. You have never experienced it, and you don't have the eyes to judge its quality. It is unlikely that you can learn it in a short time. You still need to immerse yourself in it before you can understand it."
Okay, Shi Chun gave up after hearing that.
Elder Jie Lunguang suddenly said, "Master Gu's daughter has also cultivated three orifices."
Shi Chun looked over when he heard this and saw that, as expected, Gu Lianni had already set fire to the fourth piece of equipment. Although there was a big gap between her and Luo Shengsheng, the people on Shudao Mountain were still excited.
Elder Pan Gongying suddenly exclaimed: "The disciple of Jinmao Hall has also cultivated three orifices, and is actually catching up with the daughter of the ancient leader!"
Shi Chun and others immediately shifted their gazes and saw that Mi Liangmeng was indeed using fire to attack the fourth piece of equipment. The gap between him and Gu Lianni was so close, only a gap of one foot in front and one foot in back. The gap between the two before was as much as the gap of a piece of equipment. This showed that after Mi Liangmeng found the corresponding feeling, he was gradually narrowing the gap between the two.
And this kind of proficiency in controlling the feeling is called talent!
More importantly, Mi Liangmeng only absorbed four divine fires, while Gu Lianni absorbed seven.
Yan Qufeng exclaimed again: "This disciple of Jinmaotang is extremely talented!"
The people on Shudao Mountain obviously noticed this as well, and the expressions of the group, who had just been excited, gradually froze.
The situation is really a bit embarrassing, the contrast is too strong. The one with four divine fires is actually catching up with the one with seven. In the end, he will be surpassed. Then this disciple of Jinmaotang will become famous by stepping on Shudaoshan's face!
What's more, the daughter of the head of Shudao Mountain is used as a foil.
Gu Yanduo's face was tense, he was already feeling embarrassed, he had already felt ashamed, he had never expected that he could be caught up with this.
Naturally, everyone in the Jinmaotang was extremely excited, and its leader even stroked his beard and nodded, feeling extremely pleased. To have such a proud disciple in the sect was worthy of the sect's training for so many years.
The high-ranking members of the Liantian Sect watched in silence, as if this competition had nothing to do with them. In fact, they also felt ashamed that the world's number one weapon-refining sect had become a foil and a spectator in such a competition.
At this moment, even Shi Chun, a layman, could appreciate the excitement of this kind of competition, which was always full of unexpected things. It turned out that human talent could produce all kinds of possibilities in terms of skills. It was really exciting, and he also felt the invisible intense atmosphere.
"Look, Tong Mingshan has also cultivated two orifices."
Elder Pan Gongying's words attracted everyone's attention, and they saw that Tong Mingshan had indeed turned to attack the third piece of equipment.
Being able to complete the refining of two orifices in such a short time, all the people in Bailian Sect showed appreciation, especially Tong Mingshan's master, who looked really pleased.
The other disciples also murmured their praises.
"It took less than half an incense stick of time to refine two orifices. Junior Brother Tong, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have made great progress!"
"Yes, if it were the previous Junior Brother Tong, it would take at least half a day to refine one orifice. Although he has the blessing of the divine fire, it is enough to show that he has made great progress."
Yan Qufeng pinched his fingers, not knowing what he was calculating, and then praised, "Tong Mingshan's speed in refining the second orifice is much faster than the first orifice."
Shi Chun turned his head and looked at them, somewhat speechless. Luo Shengsheng has already cultivated five orifices and is already refining the sixth one, but you, his disciples, have only cultivated two orifices. Is that something you should be proud of?
Not to mention him, even the Mingshan Sect's group was surprised. They all turned their heads to look and realized one thing: the standard of the Bailian Sect was a bit low. It seemed that the gap between them and the top ten sects was really not a little bit.
Of course, with the monster Li Hongjiu around, they no longer had any hope of Tong Mingshan winning the championship.
But I was still a little disappointed. I didn't expect that after absorbing twenty-six divine fires, I couldn't even defeat someone like Mi Liangmeng, let alone Luo Shengsheng and Li Hongjiu.
Especially after hearing the praise from Bailian Sect, the Mingshan Sect's group was scratching their heads, not knowing whether it was because the Samadhi True Fire was not good enough, or if Tong Mingshan's starting point of skills was too low.
Wu Jinliang couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Damn it, it's all because Bailian Sect didn't teach me well..."
"Xu Mang from Jingyang Palace has also completed two orifices."
"Fu Minggu's Huang Chunzhu has also begun to refine the third orifice!"
"Shudaoshan Yuanyao has also started to master the third orifice!"
There were constant discussions all around, and excitement was evident in every voice and sentence, as if they were something rare and eye-opening.
Shi Chun and the others listened and watched, feeling average. They felt relieved after letting go of their desires, although they felt a little disappointed and didn't quite understand what was going on.
"The sixth orifice is completed. Oh my god, Luo Shengsheng is working on the seventh orifice!"
A cry of surprise attracted the attention of Shi Chun and others. Even these laymen had to admit that the bald man's refining speed was getting faster and faster.
Wu Jinliang curled his lips again, "That bald guy must not die well..."
"Look, is Li Hongjiu going to be refined?"
There were more exclamations of surprise, and everyone looked over. Sure enough, Li Hongjiu's 'model' had completely merged with the molten iron, and its overall shape had turned into a heart-shaped shape, with the bright red color gradually fading.
The flame on Li Hongjiu's hand had disappeared, and the exquisite heart was obviously in the process of cooling down.
Shi Chun opened his right eye again and found that the gray object connected to the exquisite heart was still rotating in the air. It seemed that there was no intention of removing it until the thing cooled down completely.
Li Hongjiu had obviously come back to his senses from his concentration. He looked around and after meeting the inquiring looks from his master Qu Wuming and others, he nodded slightly to indicate that he had accomplished it.
So Qu Wuming could no longer hold back the smile on his face. This bastard had brought honor to him and the sect. He had to restrain himself from hitting him this year no matter what.
All the senior executives were also laughing, some clapping their hands and laughing, some whispering to each other, and some signaling the disciples to keep a low profile.
The sects, led by the Liantian Sect, looked at him coldly.
"Oh!" Shi Chun and his group sighed a lot. This time, they completely gave up.
Luo Shengsheng, startled by the discussions of the crowd, raised his eyes and looked across.
Li Hongjiu's gaze met his, with a slight smile, and raised her chin provocatively, as if asking him, I said you can't get first place, was I right?
For him, in this kind of competition, even if he didn't absorb the divine fire, he could still get first place by practicing the fire-based skills. This was also one of the reasons why he had not been very interested in the divine fire before.
However, Luo Shengsheng merely raised his eyes to look at his situation, and was indifferent to his provocation. He did not show any emotion at all, and quickly lowered his eyes to concentrate on his own refining.
That feeling of disdain made Li Hongjiu slightly stunned, and also made him vaguely feel that something was wrong.
