Chapter 468: Carrying on the Torch

Chapter 468: Carrying on the Torch
This sounds a bit scary, how does it have to do with the devil?

The Bailian Sect's group stood there in a daze, surprised and doubtful, wondering whether what the other party said was true or false.

Yan Qufeng and others had only heard about Mulan Jin's arrival at the Star Observatory, and never thought that she came to Chong Shichun.

Some news cannot even reach the ears of sects like the Bailian Sect.

Other sects nearby saw Tong Mingshan coming back, and some of them even sent people over to say hello and get to know him. But before they got close, they heard these words and immediately stopped.

Yan Qufeng, who had just issued the invitation, couldn't take back his words immediately, so he had to turn his head to look at Luo Wan.

Luo Wan was also anxious. Seeing this, he immediately asked his apprentice, "Mingshan, is what he said true?"

Tong Mingshan, with his white hair blown up by the wind from time to time, said calmly, "Yes."

Luo Wan knew that his disciple would not tell him such a lie, so he looked at the sect leader with a conflicted look on his face, not knowing what to say.

As far as emotions were concerned, he naturally hoped that his disciple, whom he had personally trained, would return to the sect, not to mention that he was now promising. On the other hand, he also knew that if he was involved in the devil's way, the Bailian Sect would not be able to withstand it. If he was not careful, it would be wiped out. How many lives would be involved? He could not let his emotions get the better of him.

Okay, Yan Qufeng understood, and after a little hesitation, he said thoughtfully: "The arm cannot bend the thigh. Since the Xuanji Ling master has something to do, he can only take care of it first. We can only put our affairs aside and talk about them later."

Having said that, he knew in his heart that this retreat would completely sever the relationship between Bailian Sect and Tong Mingshan.

They come to him when he is useful, and they cut off all ties when there is trouble. This is not the first time. What does Tong Mingshan think? It will be difficult for him to speak up again in the future.

But from his point of view, his Bailian Sect had no choice.

Hearing the sect leader say this, Luo Wan's expression turned gloomy, and he also knew what this retreat meant.

The group from Bailian Sect that had approached them retreated, and the group that had been excited and expectant just a moment ago became less interested and quiet, and even began to worry whether they had gotten too close to Mingshan Sect before.

Wu Jinliang chuckled twice.

Tong Mingshan, who had lost all his emotions and energy, was unusually calm, as if nothing had happened, and he closed his eyes to rest.

Those sect members who came over to make the acquaintance seemed to have come to the wrong place, and either retreated or looked around as they passed by.

The top leaders of the ten major sects have now met together to communicate, which also means to announce the final results of the competition.

The Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart that Tong Mingshan had just refined was also being circulated and examined by the top leaders of the ten major sects.

Seeing this scene, Shi Chun wanted to ask something, but when he turned around, he found that Yan Qufeng was no longer beside him. He had returned to the center of Bailian Sect.

Damn it! I cursed in my heart.

Forget it. He turned around and said to Wu Jinliang, "Go and get back the exquisite heart that the sect master refined later."

This is what he just wanted to ask Yan Qufeng, whether the finished product produced in the competition could be taken back. He found it inconvenient to ask, so he was too lazy to ask and directly asked Wu Jinliang to get it back. He knew Wu Jinliang's ability to get things done, so he would not be unable to get this back.

Wu Jinliang asked curiously, "Is it worth money?"

He wanted to find out the value of something so that he could judge how much effort he should put in and how much he should pay.

Shi Chun didn't know the value of this thing either, so he replied calmly, "It's a gift."

"..." Wu Jinliang was stunned for a moment, then he understood who the boss was going to give it to.

Whether the gift you give to that person is valuable or not is secondary, as he is not short of money. The key is to show your intentions. The gift of the winner of the weapon refining competition, which is held once every few hundred years, is witnessed by everyone and shows great thoughtfulness and novelty.

He was also convinced by this and admired the boss's perseverance.

He chuckled and said, "Okay, don't worry. If I can't get it back, I'll bring my head to you."

The scene, which was buzzing with some discussions, suddenly became quiet as if the tide had receded. Luo Yan, leader of the Liantian Sect, Gu Yanduo, head of the Shudao Mountain, and Su Qiao, leader of the Jihuo Sect, walked together to the steps on the central axis of the venue.

The three did not walk down the stairs from the sidelines to enter the venue.

After everyone was silent, Luo Yan, the leader of Liantian Sect, suddenly waved his sleeves and a black shadow flew out, soaring into the air, growing in the wind, and transformed into a black gold tower.

The tower has thirty-six floors and is spinning in the air. It is constantly growing larger and larger until it becomes as big as a mountain. Its towering body is as smooth as colored glaze and looks magnificent.

It is so big that even Mulan, who stands on the top of the mountain, has to look up to see the top of the tower.

It is so big that once it falls, it can suppress everyone in the valley.

Many people exclaimed, "It's the True Fire Ruyi Tower!"

Shi Chun, who was looking up, sighed. He didn't expect this thing to be so big.

In the Divine Fire Domain, he figured out the purpose of this thing. It is of no use to ordinary cultivators and is most suitable for weapon refiners. In simple terms, it is a furnace for refining weapons.

The real refining of instruments is different from the competition just now. When refining real instruments, there are many huge objects, which cannot be refined by the method of controlling one's own divine fire just now. The mana cannot be consumed by refining them in that way. It is necessary to control external fire as the main method to refine them.

Therefore, the high temperature during actual refining is very terrifying. People who do not practice fire-based exercises may not be able to bear it, so a refining site is needed, and this 'True Fire Ruyi Tower' is an excellent refining site, which can lock the fire temperature inside the tower. Its internal magic array has many wonderful uses. It is said that they are all arrangements summarized by Situ Gu based on many years of refining experience, which can effectively assist in refining, and this is also the most valuable part of this tower.

There are thirty-six floors in the tower, and refiners can adjust the height of their positions during refining at will according to the size of the objects being refined.

Moreover, the tower can be large or small, and the size can be controlled as desired, which means that this is an excellent refining site that can be carried with you.

At this moment, countless weapon refiners were envious.

Seeing the magnificence of this huge monster, the crowds in the mirrors everywhere were also in an uproar.

It was shown to prove its authenticity. The huge floating and rotating monster then shrank rapidly, and in an instant it shrank to the size of a vase, floated in front of Luo Yan, and slowly rotated.

Luo Yan secretly glanced at the mirror image in the sky, but secretly cursed Master Nan in his heart. Once this mirror image appeared, he had to remain meticulously dignified at all times.

As soon as the pagoda flew back, Gu Yanduo, the head of Shudao Mountain, waved his sleeves again, and a golden bead covered with cloud patterns flew out and suddenly stopped in the sky above the venue.

The people who looked up had just concentrated and calmed down for a while when they saw the bead tremble violently, and it seemed that a faint green smoke was floating out from the cracks in the cloud pattern.

The green smoke suddenly exploded, and the elongated green shadow was like a green waterfall flowing back to the sky, or like a piece of silk flying into the sky, rushing through the mirror image in the sky.

As the distance increased, everyone could see clearly that it was the shadow of a giant green dragon. Then, the shock wave from the giant dragon's golden bead came synchronously, and some people were blown to the ground on the spot, pavilions collapsed, and carved railings collapsed, as if to pull out all the hair on people's faces.

The giant dragon that left its body did not intentionally act violently. The mere momentum of it soaring into the air was enough to make such a loud noise. If it really wanted to show its power, one can imagine how powerful it would be.

With just a brief appearance in the air, Gu Yanduo turned his hand and pointed at the golden bead. The green shadow tumbling in the air let out a long "aw" howl, and the sound shook the vast earth. Many people in the valley and on the beach outside felt that their eardrums were about to burst.

The phantom of a giant dragon rushed back into the valley, circling and dancing inside, causing countless people's clothes to flutter and sand and rocks to fly.

Only then did everyone see the general outline. It looked like a giant dragon, but it had no claws. It was the residual soul of a green dragon.

The space in which the green dragon's phantom was circling was getting smaller and smaller. After it circled to the side of the floating golden bead, it suddenly dived down and slid into the bead from head to tail and disappeared.

The floating golden bead also flew back to Gu Yanduo.

"The broken dragon spirit!"

"Just a remnant soul has such momentum. If we refine a 'body' to match it, it will definitely be a treasure!"

Just as a burst of discussion arose, Jihuo Sect's leader Su Qiao suddenly flicked his sleeves, and a dark object that looked like a bow without a bowstring floated in front of him.

When everyone took a closer look, they realized that it was not a bow, but a piece of iron about four feet long. It was called an iron piece, but it was so dark and did not reflect any light. If it were not for its smoothness, people would have believed it was a piece of burnt charcoal.

People who look directly at or at an angle to it can see that it is a flat object.

Viewed from the side, the widest part of this object is only as wide as a palm, and the narrowest part is only as wide as a finger. The thin arc on the edge is a sharp blade, and the irregular side looks like it was broken off from something.

The seemingly insignificant thing made the man in green, Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi on the beach stare at it with wide eyes.

Gong Yuanzhi on the terrace stood up again subconsciously, also staring closely.

Lan Qiaoyan and her daughter looked at him in surprise. He had not reacted so strongly when the first two treasures were unveiled.

Given his background, not only the mother and daughter, but even his son Gong Shaoci was surprised.

Lan Qiaoyan couldn't help but say, "Brother Gong, is it because I am short-sighted? Is there something else to this 'Broken Wasteland Blade'?"

Gong Yuanzhi came back to his senses after hearing the sound and laughed, "It is said to be the sharpest thing in the world. This is the first time I have seen it."

While speaking, he kept staring at the mirror.

Su Qiao in the mirror scanned the scene and searched. Suddenly, he snapped his fingers and the bow-shaped fragment in front of him shot towards the large incense burner in the field.

when!
There was only a small metallic knocking sound, and then a black shadow passed over the incense burner, flipped over and stood upright in front of Su Qiao.

Seeing that everyone was confused and seemed to have not figured out what was going on, Su Qiao flicked his sleeves and swept out a force, slightly pushing the incense burner through the air.

The large incense burner was immediately split into two pieces and fell to the ground with a bang, and the cross-section of the thick wall was smooth and flat.

Everyone then realized that the bow-shaped fragment had just cut the large incense burner in two.

The sharpness of the blade caused a sudden uproar.

Shi Chun and Wu Jin looked at each other. They knew that they couldn't keep this thing even if it fell into their hands, otherwise they would be seeking death.

Gong Yuanzhi on the terrace nodded and exclaimed: "It is indeed extremely sharp!"

Gong Shaoci said: "If father likes it, I will tell Shi Chun and ask him to sell it to me."

Gong Yuanzhi turned around immediately after hearing this, stared at his son with flickering eyes for a while, and tried to ask: "Do you have such a relationship with him?"

Gong Shaoci curled his lips. He didn't say that I bought it from him to give him face. After all, his father was not the only one present. He said in a different way, "The money has been paid. There is nothing that cannot be sold. It is useless for him to have that thing. Even if it is useful, I can ask Master Nan for a greeting.

It's not for nothing, it's an equal transaction, I think Master Nan should give me this face. Master Nan asked them to enter the Divine Fire Region, so they had to enter. They relied on Master Nan to survive, and since Master Nan asked, they had to give him this face. "

Lan Qiaoyan, who was listening in, immediately fixed her eyes on her daughter. As she expected, her daughter moved her lips as if to interrupt. She quickly interrupted with a cheerful voice, "Shaoci is really filial."

As he spoke, he gave his daughter a stern look, forbidding her to get involved in this matter.

Miao Yilan was stunned. She originally wanted to express her gratitude in front of her future father-in-law. She thought that if it really didn't work, she had some friendship with Shi Chun and she could just ask for it herself and it shouldn't be a problem.

She also felt that as long as she spoke up, there would be no problem with Shi Chun, and she had confidence in this.

But my mother stopped me.

She didn't know what her mother meant, but she knew there must be something deeper behind it, so she swallowed the words back.

Gong Yuanzhi chuckled and said, "Things are valuable because they are rare. It's a rare item, so just let it be. Let's see what's going on at the Stargazing Pavilion first. If Shi Chun is not involved, then you can buy it. You can pay whatever price you want, and you are not allowed to force it."

Gong Shaoci cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Inside the valley, the leader of the Lihuo Sect walked to the steps where the three leaders were standing, facing the crowd, and cast a spell and said loudly: "The Divine Fire Covenant has been passed down from generation to generation, and new members have emerged. Tong Mingshan of the Mingshan Sect will carry on the torch!"

The sound echoed in the valley, and Zhu Xiangxin and An Wuzhi at the entrance of the valley became excited when they heard it.

The outside world couldn't hear any sound and didn't know what was going on. At this time, the mirror image didn't actually shine towards Tong Mingshan. This was because someone around Master Nan was in close contact with the people outside who were controlling the sky-viewing mirror. It could also be said that they were directing the outside world.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tong Mingshan, who had his eyes closed to rest, was awakened again and reminded that it was time to go and receive the award.

Tong Mingshan was really tired, but he also knew that this was the result of everyone's hard work, so he forced himself to go again.

Shi Chun and others were so happy that they were ready to fight, while everyone in Bailian Sect had complicated expressions.

Li Hongjiu, who was watching the fun from Yanbao Sect, was amused and joked to his fellow disciple beside him: "See? Not fighting has its benefits. Look at the three major sects. They just gave away their treasures with stern faces as if their parents had died."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a pair of vicious eyes that he dared not face.

Turning his head, Qu Wuming gnashed his teeth and said, "Is this how you calculate the account? How many disciples of Shudao Mountain absorbed the divine fire this time? Have you calculated it? You evil creature, add another month!"

The corner of Li Hongjiu's mouth twitched, and the swollen part of his cheekbone was still aching. He didn't dare to cast a spell to reduce the swelling. He quickly lowered his head and shut up. He smiled bitterly in his heart, as if everything he said and did was wrong.
