Chapter 1340 Dissatisfaction
Lu Yun looked back and saw that it was the leader of Xuantian Sect, Shang Zhi.
He kowtowed in front of the Xuantian Patriarch, and said with an unpleasant expression: "Ancestor, this Xuantian furnace is a treasure that the ancestor has spent thousands of years refining. How can you give it to others so easily?"
"Zhi'er, there are hundreds of thousands of lives in the whole sect. No matter how precious the Xuantian furnace is, it is just a magic weapon. How can it be worth human lives?" Xuantian Patriarch said softly: "If the magic weapon is gone, you can refine it again, but if a life is gone, it is really gone."
“But ancestor, no matter what, the Xuantian furnace is also the treasure of our Xuantian Sect. Just giving it to others like this…” Shang Zhi glanced at Lu Yun and said, “Junior, I don’t accept it!”
"Oh? Haha, I didn't realize that Master Shang actually values this alchemy furnace so much." The third prince said with a smile: "In this case, why don't we have a competition to see who this great opportunity belongs to? How do you think?"
Patriarch Xuantian was originally reluctant to give away the Xuantian Furnace, and now that the Third Prince said so, he immediately became active.
"How about this, since the ancestor has already planned to give up the treasure, why not let everyone present have a chance to obtain the Xuantian Furnace, what do you think?" The third prince suggested.
"This……"
Patriarch Xuantian was startled.
He was reluctant to give it up in the first place. If what the Third Prince said was true, wouldn’t that mean that the pearl of Xuantian Furnace would be covered in dust?
But he changed his mind and realized that although the Xuantian Furnace was just a magic weapon, not everyone could get their hands on it.
"Well, since the Third Prince has spoken, then the Third Prince in plain clothes means what he wants." The Xuantian Patriarch said, "I gave this Xuantian furnace away originally to let the destined person comprehend it by himself and gain its recognition. Now it seems that I thought too much."
As he spoke, Patriarch Xuantian waved his hand, and the Xuantian Furnace actually flew into the air from Lu Yun's hand, then instantly grew larger and landed firmly on the ground.
The Xuantian furnace turned into a huge furnace two meters high that could be hugged by four people.
"Please look everyone, this is the original appearance of the Xuantian Furnace!" Ancestor Xuantian introduced proudly, his face full of red glow.
Everyone present was shocked. They had not expected that Patriarch Xuantian’s Xuantian Furnace would actually be such a treasure.
However, the shocking thing is yet to come.
Just after the Xuantian Furnace returned to its original appearance, it began to radiate supreme pressure in all directions. People nearby could not get close at all and were all repelled far away.
Everyone was shocked again.
"After all, this is a treasure refined by Ancestor Xuantian. It is indeed extraordinary!"
"I'm afraid I'm not going to get this treasure. What a pity!"
"Thinking back to the days when Patriarch Xuantian was so powerful, his legend spread all over the western territory, and even the entire underworld. The treasures he refined must have been earth-shattering!"
"..."
Hearing what everyone said, Patriarch Xuantian felt extremely happy. He seemed to feel as if he had returned to the old days.
"I come!"
"I'm coming too!"
"The Xuantian furnace is mine!"
"..."
Since the Third Prince said so and Patriarch Xuantian also approved it, then everyone has the opportunity to obtain the Xuantian Furnace.
So, whether it was the disciples of Xuantian Sect, the guests who came to attend the banquet, or the third prince and his entourage, they all gathered around.
"Om~"
The Xuantian furnace vibrated, and a circle of white halo visible to the naked eye instantly emanated from the golden furnace body.
This halo contained supreme pressure, which forced everyone to retreat. Some people could not even withstand such pressure and vomited blood.
What’s worse, some were directly pinned to the ground and unable to get up.
Seeing this scene, Patriarch Xuantian was extremely excited. He didn't know that his magic weapon had such power. He was very pleased and proud.
Lu Yun also felt the powerful pressure, but to him, he only felt the pressure.
He felt nothing in his body.
On the opposite side, Xuantian Sect's leader Shang Zhi pushed his entire body's cultivation to the extreme, and took difficult steps towards the Xuantian Furnace in front of him.
Among the people present, except for Patriarch Xuantian, he had the highest cultivation level. Anyone could see that he was risking his own cultivation level and did not want Lu Yun to get the Xuantian Furnace.
"Is Sect Master Shang working so hard? Is it worth sacrificing your future for an alchemy furnace?"
"This furnace is related to the reputation of Xuantian Sect. It is not good for the Xuantian Patriarch's treasure to fall into the hands of outsiders. Wouldn't it be ridiculed by the cultivators of the world?"
"What you said is only one reason. Second, a few days ago, Sect Master Shang was defeated by Lu Yun in public and lost a lot of face. This time, Sect Master Shang must regain his face and restore face for Xuantian Sect."
"..."
Amidst all the different opinions, Shang Zhi seemed to be more determined to obtain the Xuantian Furnace.
He held his breath, resisted the tremendous pressure emanating from the Xuantian Furnace, and approached step by step.
At the same time, seeing this, the disciples of Xuantian Sect cheered for their leader and shouted that he would win.
Finally, Shang Zhi paid the price of two mouthfuls of blood and placed one hand on the Xuantian Furnace with difficulty.
Then he raised his chin towards Lu Yun.
It seemed as if it was saying: "Boy, did you see that? If you can't even touch the Xuantian Furnace, this treasure will be mine!"
Lu Yun knew what he meant. He just shook his wrist and walked over with a swagger.
"What? Is it difficult to touch the Xuantian furnace?"
As he spoke, his hand was already on the Xuantian furnace. He then let go of his hand, and then put it back on again, repeating this several times, his eyes fixed on Shang Zhi.
The whole audience was shocked.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How did he do it?"
"Cheating! This kid must be cheating!"
"That's right! He must have a treasure on him that can resist the pressure from the Xuantian Furnace. Otherwise, how could he get close to the Xuantian Furnace so easily?"
"..."
Amid the shock of the crowd, Lu Yun stood there as if nothing had happened, looking at everyone curiously.
The most shocked person at the scene was undoubtedly Patriarch Xuantian.
He could never imagine how a cultivator who was only in the middle stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm could be stronger than Shang Zhi and touch the Xuantian Furnace so easily?
You must know that this Xuantian Furnace was the one he refined. Over the past thousand years, the Xuantian Furnace has developed intelligence and even a spirit.
According to the ritual process of refining the magic weapon, if he wants to gain the recognition of the weapon spirit, he will have to worship for hundreds of years.
Even when he was refining pills on a daily basis, he had to do so while the spirit of the furnace was resting, otherwise the Xuantian Furnace would not be under his control at all.
“Ahem…hmm.” Patriarch Xuantian coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and then said, “Not bad, the two of you can resist the pressure of the Xuantian Furnace. You are indeed predestined with the Xuantian Furnace. This competition is a draw between the two of you.”
Patriarch Xuantian's words were somewhat biased. Although both of them touched the Xuantian Furnace, the difference in rank was obvious.
Everyone can see clearly that Lu Yun is far superior to Shang Zhi.
Then, the Xuantian Patriarch changed the subject. "However, even so, it cannot be considered as being recognized by the Xuantian Furnace. Next, whoever can awaken the spirit in the Xuantian Furnace and gain its recognition, then the Xuantian Furnace will be his!"
