Chapter 460 Competition Upgrade
Chapter 460 Competition Upgrade
"The seventh orifice is complete, and the eighth orifice is being refined. If it weren't for the existence of such a monster as Li Hongjiu, Luo Shengsheng would definitely be the best in this session!"
Elder Jie Lunguang was quite moved and felt that his horizons had been broadened. He did not expect that so many young talents would emerge in this session.
"The fifth orifice, the disciple of Jinmao Hall has surpassed the daughter of Master Gu!"
Behind Shi Chun and his group, people from a certain sect started shouting and yelling.
It is indeed worth exclaiming. After all, the four divine fires surpassed the seven divine fires. This is quite different from Li Hongjiu's refining techniques in different dimensions surpassing Luo Shengsheng. It also gives people a more exciting feeling.
The strength demonstrated by people like Mi Liangmeng can give people hope and the hope to strive for success.
The strength displayed by Li Hongjiu will make people despair!
"Lian Ni has also reached the fifth orifice!" Elder Jin Guiqi of Shudao Mountain held his breath and let out a sigh, unable to tell whether he was relieved or sighing.
Gu Yanduo's brows were deeply furrowed.
Gu Lianni, who was in the competition arena, was really disturbed by the noise outside the arena this time. After finding out that Mi Liangmeng had surpassed her, she was really anxious this time.
Competing with Luo Shengsheng and Li Hongjiu and trying to compete with them has other meanings besides the competition factor.
She doesn't hope that everyone who is stronger than her can look her in the eye.
She didn't want Mi Liangmeng to look at her straight in the eye, because she felt that Mi Liangmeng was not worthy of her, and because she only had eyes for top stars like Luo Shengsheng and Li Hongjiu.
What she was worried about was Shu Daoshan's face and her own reputation. If someone who absorbed seven divine fires was still not as good as four divine fires, he would be either a waste or a joke. Top stars like Luo Shengsheng would look even less at him. This time, she was really forced to work hard.
"Tong Mingshan has begun to refine the fourth orifice!" Yan Qufeng, stroking his beard in praise, reminded Shi Chun specifically, fearing that he might not understand.
Shi Chun smiled calmly and said, "Not bad, not bad."
I'm not in a calm mood to a certain extent, and I can't speak in such a calm tone. Since I don't have any expectations anymore, I just watch the fun and gain some experience.
I have indeed broadened my horizons. How could I have understood these things if I hadn't come here? There are some things that you can't understand deeply unless you experience them yourself or listen to others talk about them.
When Luo Shengsheng caused a stir again and was working on the ninth orifice, everyone in Yanbao Sect was confused and stared at Li Hongjiu, wondering what he was doing.
Li Hongjiu was seen holding the refined exquisite heart in his hand. It had clearly cooled down, but he had no intention of handing it in for judgment.
If he had handed it over to the relevant personnel for decision earlier, it would have been confirmed earlier that he was the first one to refine the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart. What did it mean that he had not handed it over yet and instead stared at Luo Shengsheng? Did he have to wait until Luo Shengsheng handed it over together?
If you really have to submit them at the same time, it’s hard to say whether you will be first.
If Luo Shengsheng was allowed to submit the judgment first, and the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart was also successfully refined, then according to the order of submission, Luo Shengsheng would definitely be the first.
Yan Baozong was so anxious that he wanted to shout. Qu Wuming, whose breathing could be heard heavy in his nose, once again realized how troublesome this disciple was. He always did things that made people angry. Couldn't he just be a normal person?
"Why doesn't Li Hong go for first place after refining the wine, but instead keeps staring at Luo Shengsheng?" Yan Qufeng also exclaimed in surprise.
Daming Pavilion was also surprised. They didn't know what Li Hongjiu meant. He couldn't have won and still attacked Luo Shengsheng, right? Only a sick person would do that. Could it be that the refining failed and was not successful?
It's not that there is no possibility, so I had such evil thoughts.
The bigwigs of Daming Pavilion exchanged glances and became highly alert again.
If it were someone else, it wouldn't be like that, but for someone like Li Hongjiu, everyone treats him like a thief.
Shi Chun also noticed something was wrong. He didn't need to guess, he saw it clearly. His right eye's special ability clearly saw that the magic rotating above Li Hongjiu had not dissipated, which meant that Li Hongjiu had not really finished refining it. He also wanted to know what this guy was trying to do.
Seeing who Li Hongjiu was paying attention to, almost everyone present guessed that it was related to Luo Shengsheng, but no one could guess the reason.
When the time it took Luo Shengsheng to refine the ninth orifice exceeded the time it took to refine each previous orifice, some alert people also realized that there was something wrong with Luo Shengsheng as well.
"Ah, the Li Hong wine has started to be refined again!" Elder Pan Gongying exclaimed in surprise.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Li Hongjiu stared at Luo Shengsheng with a sneer, and in his empty palm, blazing flames rose again, burning violently at the refined exquisite heart again. The high-temperature red flame divine fire gave people a feeling of going all out.
Seeing this, combined with the abnormality of Luo Shengsheng's refining overtime, Yanbao Sect's leader Qu Wuming gradually showed a look of surprise and suspicion on his face, staring at Luo Shengsheng's refining movement.
Gradually, many people began to taste some clues.
Yan Qufeng also recalled it and said to himself in a deep voice: "Luo Shengsheng wants to refine the true Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart!"
Hearing the occasional exclamations of "Refining a True Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart" from the surroundings, the Mingshan Sect's group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Shi Chun could not help but ask again, "Sect Master Yan, I wonder if my knowledge is shallow. As far as I know, this amount of time may not be enough to refine the True Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart. Even if he has ten divine fires, it is said that the refinement of the True Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart is extremely complicated and it is impossible to complete it within one stick of incense. Can Luo Shengsheng do it?"
Yan Qufeng knew that his layman only had a half-understanding when he heard it, and explained: "One-hole True is also called 'True Nine-hole Exquisite Heart'. The difference lies in whether it is one-hole true, two-hole true, or three-hole four-hole true, and so on. The level of refining can be deduced."
Shi Chun was surprised, "Can a single orifice really surpass a nine-orifice exquisite heart?"
Yan Qufeng: "Yes, don't underestimate this orifice. The difficulty of refining this orifice is far greater than that of refining an ordinary Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart. Its subtlety is hundreds or thousands of times greater. Without the blessing of cultivation, there are not many refiners at the Earthly Immortal Realm and below who can refine a true Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart, let alone those who can refine it within a stick of incense. That is even more rare."
So that's how it is. But Shi Chun is even more confused. "If that's the case, why does Luo Shengsheng have to refine the Nine-aperture Exquisite Heart before refining the True Self? Wouldn't it be easier to refine the True Self directly?"
Yan Qufeng thought for a moment and said, “First of all, Luo Shengsheng probably had never refined a true exquisite heart, and he was not sure at the beginning. He only wanted to refine an ordinary Nine-aperture Exquisite Heart. He must have been forced to do this by Li Hongjiu.
Secondly, he should want to paralyze Li Hongjiu, want Li Hongjiu to hand it over first to determine that his refining was completed, and then reveal his true purpose to attack and refine the True Nine Apertures, so that even if Li Hongjiu wanted to counterattack, he would have no chance. Unfortunately, Li Hongjiu was also very shrewd and could not be deceived.
If Li Hongjiu wants to win, he must also refine the True Linglong Heart. It looks like Li Hongjiu has already started. "
Elder Jie Lunguang on the side said with emotion: "Thinking back on Li Hongjiu's previous reaction, he should have noticed something was wrong a long time ago, but he was held back by Luo Shengsheng."
Hearing that Li Hongjiu had suffered a loss, Shi Chun immediately became interested, "What do you mean, Elder?" Sometimes a single sentence can touch people's hearts.
The people from Mingshan Sect nearby looked at the leader with emotion in their eyes, and gradually realized that the current leader had unknowingly been able to talk freely with the top leaders of other sects on an equal footing. Although they were not big sects, they were all similar to their previous sects.
In the past, when they saw such high-ranking officials in the faction, they would shrink back in fear, like mice seeing a cat.
Jie Lunguang explained: "Brother Shichun, didn't you see that Li Hongjiu was embarrassed for a long time? Luo Shengsheng's move was quite vicious.
Just like our leader said, Li Hongjiu was judged first, and his competition was over.
If Li Hongjiu found something wrong, he would change the process directly. It was possible that he was overthinking and his efforts would be in vain. It was hard for Li Hongjiu not to hesitate, because he might not have refined the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart before, and he was not absolutely sure. He would not take the risk unless he had no choice.
Once he is sure of Luo Shengsheng's intention, like now, he will have to overturn the previous refining results, melt the finalized results again, and start all over again. He has already lost a lot of time!"
Having said that, Shi Chun really suffered a great loss. He couldn't help but grin, causing Yan Qufeng and others on the side to look at him with suspicion and confusion. Is this a relationship as close as brothers?
This also made Shi Chun, who realized that something was wrong, laugh out loud with a feeling of deep sorrow.
Wu Jinliang cursed sincerely, "This bald guy is so sinister!"
As the calls for "True Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart" rose one after another, the Yanbao Sect, who were originally in high spirits, felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on their heads. Even the Bailian Sect had seen through the trick, and they were naturally not stupid. The faces of the top leaders were uglier than each other, and they were all very disappointed.
Even though they are knowledgeable and experienced, this is the first time they have seen something like this in the final competition of the Divine Fire Alliance.
I also understood the difficult situation Li Hongjiu was in before.
Daming Pavilion had gained the advantage, so they were naturally much happier. The old Pavilion Master looked at Luo Shengsheng with more and more appreciation.
Of course, many people were whispering and discussing whether it was really possible to refine a truly exquisite heart within a stick of incense?
Gu Lianni, who had heard the sound clearly, looked up and was also surprised. Has the competition for refining the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart been directly raised to the level of refining "true heart"?
She was still in shock when the fire in the hands of Jinmaotang disciple Mi Liangmeng suddenly changed, directly changing the previous refining method. The other eight refining equipment floating in the air suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and several divine fire flames were all focused on the only piece of equipment in front of him.
When this situation happened, the top leaders of Jinmaotang were shocked on the spot, and it also shocked all the major sects.
"Does he also want to refine the 'True Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart'?"
"There is only half an incense stick left, and you actually want to use four divine fires to refine 'true heart' within half an incense stick."
“This is abandoning everything else and going all in.”
"What's wrong with this class? Why are so many people so manic and overestimating their own abilities!" Luo Yan, the leader of the Liantian Sect, snorted.
Those who are not in it don’t know the impact of the unremitting efforts of those around them.
Gu Lianni had tasted the bitterness of this at this moment. It was fine with Luo Shengsheng and Li Hongjiu, but even Mi Liangmeng, who had four divine fires, did the same to her. How could she accept it? She immediately dropped eight pieces of refining equipment and concentrated her divine fire on one piece.
Gu Yanduo was a little frightened. If a small horse were to pull a big cart, someone might die if it was too forced.
He immediately sent a message to his daughter telling her not to force it, but Gu Lianni couldn't turn back at this moment. She would never give up even if she died, otherwise she would be too ashamed to face anyone in the future. She turned a deaf ear to her father's message and decided to fight to the death!
This move also caused an uproar.
Everyone was paying attention to those people who changed their jobs to refine "Sincerity", but no one noticed that Tong Mingshan was dumbfounded.
The changes around him were too great. Suddenly, a bunch of talk about refining the 'True Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart' popped up. He observed for a moment and felt his heart sink. They were all competing at that level. It would be pointless for him to continue competing at this level.
Just now I felt that my refining speed was getting faster and faster, and I regained a little confidence, but who knew that the change would be so cruel.
This also caused him to be distracted and ruin the fourth piece of equipment he was refining.
The consequences will be even more cruel. The integrated veins inside the equipment are divided into nine pieces. If one of them is destroyed, it means that it will not be able to connect with the vein interfaces of the other eight pieces. It is almost impossible to re-refine the destroyed piece separately and make it fit perfectly with the vein cuts of the other eight pieces.
Now he only has two choices, either give up the wasted piece and refine the Eight-Aperture Exquisite Heart, or tear it all down and refine it again to refine the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart.
His eyes were blank, and he slowly turned around to look at the Mingshan Sect's group. This time, the people from the Mingshan Sect were all watching other people's fun, no one was looking at him, and no one around was paying attention to him.
Looking at the refining progress of others, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
Many things cannot be known without comparison. After a competition, he understood some problems. It turned out that his master's sect, Bailian Sect, was not as great as it claimed to its disciples. The gap between it and the top ten sects was really too big, which meant that there was also a huge gap in what was passed on to its disciples.
No matter how sharp his divine fire is, or how ambitious he is, it is like carving patterns on tofu with a precious knife. The foundation of his refining skills is there, and he uses the skills he learned from the Bailian Sect to refine it step by step. No matter how fast he is, it is only the speed in his self-perception. Compared with the real disciples of famous families, his foundation is really too poor.
Shi Chun was suddenly stunned. When he glanced at Tong Mingshan, he found that Tong Mingshan seemed to have stopped refining. What was going on?
Then, Tong Mingshan, who occasionally raised his eyes, met his eyes and saw the confusion on Shi Chun's face.
I felt ashamed and was afraid to look him in the face, so I lowered my head.
Just give up and admit defeat?
if not?
There is no point in continuing to refine it step by step like this...
Thinking of this, an idea flashed through his mind, and he suddenly looked up at Li Hongjiu.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Li Hongjiu to beat Luo Shengsheng, and he may not even be qualified to compete with him. The main reason is that Li Hongjiu did not follow the usual path.
He wanted to find another way, but apart from the refining method of Bailian Religion, he didn't know any other refining methods.
Rumor has it that Li Hongjiu created his own method of cultivation.
His eyes fell on the black and white flames in his left and right hands, and he asked himself, can I create my own refining method?
