Chapter 292 A little test

Chapter 292 A little test

This day.

Chen Ling and his party arrived at Wanbao Hall, the headquarters of Wanbao Tower, early in the morning.

The main hall is more than ten feet high, with a lavender light curtain covering the outside, making it look unusually grand.

In front is a square built of bluestone and jade.

The floor paved with white jade shines with a warm light.

In the middle of the square is an extremely spacious competition platform.

Around the competition platform, there are some monks scattered here and there.

These monks are basically at the foundation building stage or above.

Among them, there are also many Yuanying and Jindan monks.

"Oh, it's a fellow Taoist from the Wang family here! I haven't seen him for two years. The master of the Wang family has successfully formed an elixir. Congratulations!"

Chen Ling, Wang Xi and others, led by Wang Jinhe, sat down at a place to the west of the competition platform where a dozen Taishi chairs were placed.

A voice reached his ears.

He followed the sound and saw a burly old man in gray walking over not far to his left and nodding to Wang Xi.

"I've met Senior Song!"

Seeing this, Wang Xi hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then replied with a smile, "Senior Song is so complimentary, and this junior also succeeded by luck!"

The person in front of him was none other than Song Hao, the head of the Song family who was on good terms with the Wang family among the eight great families.

Song Hao asked with a smile, "Why don't you see Patriarch Wang coming?"

"The ancestor is practicing in seclusion, this time the junior and my husband Chen Ling are in charge!"

Wang Xi said with a smile.

Chen Ling also bowed his hands towards the old man and said, "Junior Chen Ling has met senior Song."

The head of the Song family, Yuanying, was in his early stages of cultivation and seemed to have no airs.

Moreover, the area where the Song family operates is Beiyuan, which is close to Xihuang, and there will probably be time to deal with them in the future.

Chen Ling was naturally happy to make friends.

"Nephew Chen Xian, there is no need to be polite!"

Song Hao's eyes glanced at Chen Ling, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

After the two of them exchanged polite greetings, Song Hao returned to the Song family's seat.

Many of the monks around seemed to be paying attention to the situation here. After hearing Wang Xi's introduction, they glanced at Chen Ling casually and didn't pay attention.

Chen Ling restrained his aura and looked like he was only at the early stage of Jin Dan cultivation.

Everyone present was from the eight major families in Wanbao Tower, and they also knew the Wang family well.

With Chen Ling's level of cultivation, if he could marry Wang Xi, he would probably be a bride-in-law.

To put it simply, it is a tool to borrow seeds to give birth to a baby.

"The head of the Wang family would actually fall in love with an early stage Golden Core cultivator. What are you trying to do?"

Knowing Chen Ling's identity, some people began to discuss in low voices.

Chen Ling sat quietly on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes and waited.

Currently, only four of the eight aristocratic families are included, the others being the Lu family and the Yuan family.

Wang Xi just nodded slightly to the two families and did not specifically come forward to greet them.

It seems to be a normal relationship.

Although there is a lot of competition among the eight aristocratic families in Wanbao Tower, they all have agreements.

Once someone becomes the leader of the alliance, the other families must obey his arrangements.

Each family is located in different areas and controls different resources.

We usually communicate with each other.

This mechanism has been operating for hundreds of years, and all eight major families have gained huge benefits from it.

And being able to become the leader of the alliance means that you can control the allocation of resources of the eight major families at the same time.

This is undoubtedly an unimaginable wealth.

Although it was only ten years.

But ten years are enough for the entire family to take another step forward.

This is also the reason why the eight major families are willing to invest huge resources in competing for the position of alliance leader.

After half a stick of incense.

"Huh? The aura of the late Nascent Soul"

Chen Ling felt a powerful aura of late Nascent Soul coming from the air on the left side of the square.

About ten breaths.

A golden war boat of more than ten feet, carrying monks of more than ten years, slowly landed on the square.

The war boat landed, and on the deck, a middle-aged man with a tall body and a resolute appearance was the first to land on the ground.

"Meet Ancestor Yu!"

The monks from the Lu family and the Yuan family in front stood up and saluted.

The person who came was Yu Qingfeng, the ancestor of the Yu family.

As usual, the head of the eight major families usually leads the team to participate in the competition.

The ancestor of the Yu family personally led the team, which shows that he attaches great importance to this competition.

"No need to be polite."

Yu Qingfeng glanced at the first few families who arrived, and nodded slightly towards each family head.

The deacon in charge of welcoming Wanbao Tower also stepped forward to welcome him to his seat.

The Yu family's territory is the Southern Territory, which is extremely wide, and there is also a vast area of ​​​​the sea, which is rich in resources.

It's just that they are harassed by the sea tribe from time to time.

Chen Ling glanced at the Yu family members, including two Nascent Soul cultivators and three Golden Core cultivators.

This lineup is strong enough.

The Yu family is considered to be the most powerful among the eight major families.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

A golden stream of light flew from the south and slowly fell over the square.

"Master Huang!"

The monks from several major families showed awe.

The golden light dispersed and turned into a golden sword, falling into the hands of an old man in black and yellow robes.

The old man is of medium stature, with silver hair on his temples swaying lightly in the wind. He has a fairy-like air and piercing eyes.

"Huang Yi, the fifth-level weapon refiner of the Weapon Alliance."

Chen Ling knew this person's identity from the jade slip information given by Wang Xi.

One of the few fifth-level weapon refiners in ancient China and the leader of the weapon alliance.

It is also the judge of this weapon refining competition.

Master Huang greeted the monks from each family with a smile.

The cordial attitude shows that Qi Meng has a close relationship with Wanbao Tower.

Then he took a seat at the judging table to the east of the competition stage.

This was Chen Ling's first time seeing a fifth-level weapon refiner, and he couldn't help but pay more attention.

After Huang Yi sat down, the heads of other clans and the monks participating in the competition walked over to exchange greetings.

Shortly after Huang Yi arrived, Qin Zheng, the fifth-level alchemist from the other three major families and the Alchemy Alliance, also arrived one after another.

The Lin family arrived last, led by the Yuanying monk, a tall, handsome middle-aged man with a smile.

He is none other than Lin Dong, the head of the Lin family, who was in the early stages of Nascent Soul cultivation and is now the leader of the Wanbao Pavilion.

The head of the Lin family looks to be in his forties or fifties, but is actually at least five hundred years old.

Chen Ling has seen thousand-year-old monsters like Old Ancestor Wang, and he is accustomed to them.

Behind the head of the Lin family, there were two monks, a man and a woman. The man was in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and the woman was in the late stage of Jindan.

It was Tiexiong, the fourth-level top-level weapon refiner, and Zhang Yaoxiang, the fourth-level top-level alchemist.

Tiexiong is of medium build, with a red face and a slightly proud expression.

Zhang Yaoxiang is dressed in a yellow dress, with a beautiful face and graceful figure, just like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

The alchemist Qin Zheng is an old man with white eyebrows and a kind face.

At this point, all eight aristocratic families in Wanbao Tower have arrived.

Chen Ling discovered that the strength of the eight Yuan Ying families in Wanbao Tower could be seen from the monks they sent to participate in the competition.

Among them, except the Lin family and the Yu family, there are fourth-level high-grade monks.

The other family monks are all below the fourth-level mid-level level.

After all, if you want to hire a fourth-level high-grade technician as a guest, the spiritual stones you pay every month are two or three times that of a fourth-level mid-grade technician.

The monks from each family first greeted each other and communicated.

Soon many people cast unexpected glances at Chen Ling.

In Wanbao Tower, Wang Xi's abilities are recognized by various families.

But no one expected that with her background and abilities.

He would actually marry an unknown middle-level Jindan monk.

Although Chen Ling is now quite famous in Xihuang.

But for monks like them who travel between states and regions all year round.

Chen Ling's fame is far from enough for a business genius like Wang Xi to marry.

Many people were also curious to inquire about Chen Ling's news.

After another stick of incense.

"Fellow clan leaders! All monks!"

Lin Dong glanced at everyone with lightning eyes, and said with a solemn expression, "It has been more than seven hundred years since the establishment of Wanbao Tower."

"The original three major families have grown to eight major families! They are developing rapidly and their strength is constantly increasing."

"And the position of alliance leader is also crucial to Wanbao Tower."

"I won't talk nonsense. Next, no matter who becomes the leader of Wanbao Pavilion."

"There is only one belief, and that is to continue to move forward with Wanbao Tower! Increase Wanbao Tower's influence in various states!"

"You can even enter other star fields!"

Chen Ling looked calm. Judging from the information given by Wang Xi, Lin Dong was good at management and had a deep scheming mind.

As the leader of the alliance in recent years, he has also taken a lot of advantages, making the Lin family originally the third most powerful among the eight major families.

Became the first.

But this is normal.

"Everyone, survival of the fittest has always been the principle of my Wanbao Tower."

"This competition will begin soon. Today we will compete with the trial weapon, and tomorrow we will refine the elixir. The family that wins both rounds will be the leader of the Wanbao Tower."

"If two families win, the eight major families will vote together to decide. Whoever gets more votes will be the next leader."

Lin Dong continued to announce, with a sense of confidence in his voice.

It was as if the leader of the alliance was still in the possession of his Lin family.

"I would like to ask the leader of the Weapon Alliance, Huang, to announce the rules for this weapon refining competition!"

Lin Dong said to Huang Yi with a respectful expression.

Huang Yi stood up, cupped his hands and smiled, "This weapon refining competition is also very simple. Since the time is short, all the contestants only need to refining a small sword, and the materials are already ready."

"In the end, it all depends on the grade and power of the finished product."

"As for auxiliary items such as the refining furnace, you can wear them yourself."

"It's rare that Wanbao Tower holds such a grand event this time and can bring so many fourth-level weapon refiners together."

"After everyone competes, you can also go to the Weapon League and communicate with the Weapon Refiners of our Weapon League."

Although the pitch was not high, the tone exuded a sense of dignity.

For weapon refiners of level 4 and above, except for flames, the functions of other auxiliary objects are already extremely limited.

Then, Huang Yi announced that the competition began.

Chen Ling and other contestants from various families jumped onto the competition stage one after another.

Each player's area is several feet apart, surrounded by a defensive light shield that blocks mana and spiritual consciousness.

Looking at the materials placed on the desk in front of him, Chen Ling raised his eyebrows slightly.

Among them, they are basically fourth-level materials, such as golden sun stone, purple thunder wood, golden flame stone, blue ice crystal, etc.

There are also many auxiliary materials, including fifth-level sun crystals and source stones.

As long as these two materials can be integrated into the treasure, it will not become a fifth-level Taoist weapon.

Among the fourth level, it is definitely the most powerful existence.

Due to time constraints, choosing these two materials was very risky.

After all, the time required to refine fifth-level materials takes far longer than that of fourth-level materials.

Although the quantity is not much, it is only a piece of crystal the size of a thumb.

But it is not that easy to completely refine it.

In Chen Ling's mind, he quickly conceived a refining plan based on the materials in front of him.

"Use the light of the fourth-grade high-grade thunder calamity to refine a fourth-grade high-grade sword, and then integrate this source stone into it."

"This power is definitely no less powerful than any fourth-level sword."

Chen Ling said to himself.

The power of the fourth-level high-grade thunder attribute sword is no less than that of the fourth-grade top-grade sword with other attributes. Coupled with the source of magic that comes with the source stone, the power can be further improved.

For other level four weapon refiners, refining the source stone may be a big challenge.

But Chen Ling didn't have many problems with the help of fifth-level thunder flames.

This is a relatively compromise approach.

Not only can he refine a powerful sword in a short period of time, but he will not completely expose his own strength.

If he chooses to refine a fifth-level treasure, given his current level of cultivation, he will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

This was inconsistent with his original intention.

Although the position of leader of Wanbao Tower can bring considerable benefits.

But if you expose your own strength too much and cause unnecessary trouble, the gains outweigh the losses.

As for the fourth-level high-grade treasure, given his current cultivation level and the strength of the Wang family, it is just right.

Of course, the weapon refining masters present were all fourth-level veterans who had been experimenting in the weapon refining field for many years.

Most of them hold spiritual flames in their hands.

It's just that the levels and attributes of the spiritual flames are different, and their power is also different.

It may also be possible to refine a fourth-level high-grade treasure in a short time.

Chen Ling took a deep breath and glanced around. The other seven refiners were surrounded by a lavender halo. Some closed their eyes and meditated, some were checking the materials, and some had spiritual flames on their hands and started to refine the materials. ·····.

Chen Ling was not in a hurry, but first swallowed two Yuan-Zeng Dan to keep the spiritual power in his body at its peak.

A quarter of an hour later, the medicinal power was completely refined and absorbed, and he opened his eyes with bright eyes.

Then with a thought, Wu Jue Lei Yan slowly emerged from his hand.

"This guy is not very old, but his weapon refining techniques are extremely steady."

"The grade of this thunder flame is not low, but it contains violent energy and is not very suitable for refining weapons!"

Huang Yi's eyes swept over everyone and stopped slightly on Chen Ling.

Purple Thunderwood, Origin Stone!

With a thought, Chen Ling wrapped the two materials in the Five Ultimate Thunder Flames at the same time and slowly refined them.

Nowadays, his success rate in refining fourth-level high-grade treasures is almost 100%.

Maybe it's because of the extra points, but once you master it, there's little chance of failure.

In fact, it would not take more than a stick of incense to refine these two materials with the power of the Five Ultimate Thunder Flames.

But Chen Ling still controlled the speed appropriately.

After about half an hour, the two materials began to be fused.

After another incense stick, the Purple Thunderwood and the Origin Stone had completely merged, and under the shaping of Chen Ling's spiritual consciousness, they had taken on the form of a sword.

It's just that this sword is only about half a foot long, and can be said to be like a dagger.

After constructing the sword form, Chen Ling began to draw the psychic treasure ban.

Sensing eyes glancing over him from time to time, Chen Ling also pretended to do his best.

Time passed quickly, and another half hour passed.

At this time, Chen Ling slowly shouted, "Ning!"

With a flash of thunder, the Five Ultimate Thunder Flames slowly dissipated.

In front of his eyes, a half-foot-long purple wood sword floated, with a faint light of thunder shining on its surface.

Chen Ling exhaled, with a look of joy on his face, and said respectfully to Huang Yi, "Senior Huang, I have successfully refined it!"

"Okay!" Huang Yi glanced at the purple wooden sword in front of Chen Ling, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Chen Ling of the Wang family successfully refined the fourth-level high-quality Purple Thunder Sword!"

Huang Yi announced loudly again, and then motioned for Chen Ling to return to the Wang family rest area and wait.

As Huang Yi's voice fell, many people in the audience let out faint exclamations.

Although Chen Ling was not the first to refine a fourth-level high-grade sword, the two in front of him were both Nascent Soul cultivators.

Chen Ling is now only a middle-stage Jindan cultivator.

Normally, it is shocking enough for a Golden Core cultivator to be able to refine a fourth-level treasure!

Chen Ling naturally didn't take this to heart.

Returning to her seat, Wang Xi handed over a cup of spiritual tea without saying much. The tenderness in her eyes showed that she had absolute confidence in Chen Ling.

Chen Ling took the spirit tea and took a sip slowly, with a relaxed look on his face.

The other family monks were also greatly surprised when they saw this scene.

When did the majestic head of the Wang family become a tea-server?
