After some dramatic twists and turns, the external assessment ended perfectly.
Lin Chen won the first prize in one fell swoop and won the honorary award of Xuanpin Fire Pattern Pill. He also severely dampened the spirit of two famous weapon refiners and forced them to swallow fine gold in public, making him famous again.
“This external examination is really exciting!”
"Yeah, I never thought that a high-ranking master of weapon refining would also suffer a loss. It makes me happy to think about it!"
"Tomorrow's weapon refining event will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers. I don't know if Senior Brother Yanchen can overcome all obstacles, defeat many powerful enemies, and win the championship of the weapon refining event!"
"It's hard to say. In previous weapon refining events, the organizers have always presented difficult problems to the contestants. But Senior Brother Yanchen has threatened the interests of the famous weapon refining master, and he will definitely target Senior Brother Yanchen."
"Senior Brother Yanchen has made a huge bet with his own future. Tomorrow's weapon refining event will go all out to fight against the odds. It will definitely be a world-famous battle between dragon and tiger for hegemony!"
…
The grand event has not yet come, and the whole Fenyun Valley is bustling with people talking about it.
Refining room!
Lin Chen sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated, and quietly thought about the various rich weapon refining experiences recorded in the "Shenwen Lu".
After all, tomorrow's weapon refining event will be a high-level competition, and no one will be a weak opponent.
Lin Chen is definitely superior in terms of his control of fire, use of weapon patterns, and character. However, Lin Chen has not been in the field of weapon refining for a long time and lacks experience. This is Lin Chen's weakness.
Although character and talent are the main decisive factors, it is more about using on-the-spot performance and combining your own thinking to make breakthroughs under external pressure.
But the prerequisite for breakthrough is to have a more complete understanding of "Shenwen Lu".
It cannot be said that "The Record of Divine Patterns" is indeed the essence of weapon refining accumulated by a family of divine craftsmen for thousands of years. The use of weapon patterns is simply superb. The experience of refining various magical weapons can be called uncanny craftsmanship.
Lin Chen has extremely high talent and strong comprehension. "The Record of Divine Patterns" has given him a lot of rich experience in refining weapons, and he has also practiced it countless times in his mind.
Even though the weapon refining ability has not been improved, the weapon refining experience has improved a lot.
Generally speaking, no matter what grade of treasure you are refining, the most important thing is a calm mind, the ability to think well, and the flexible use of fire and weapon patterns.
As long as you have these points at the same time, you can be successful in refining any treasure.
Therefore!
For the entire day, Lin Chen basically spent his time in retreat, combining the drills in his mind with practical operations from time to time. His level of weapon refining has also been greatly improved.
Suddenly!
"Dong dong~" A knock on the door came.
"Well?" Lin Chen was extremely vigilant, woke up with a start, and called out in a somewhat unhappy mood: "Who is it?"
"It's me!" came a calm voice.
Lin Chen frowned. He was no stranger to the owner of this voice. He was just troubled one after another. Lin Chen didn't want to cause trouble again before the weapon refining event, so he asked in a cold tone: "Senior Sister Yunyue, what's important?"
"I want to talk to you, is that okay?" Yunyue was waiting outside the door with a complicated mood.
"Sorry, tomorrow's weapon refining event is very stressful. I need enough time to retreat and cultivate. If there is nothing important, I won't see guests!" Lin Chen said calmly.
"What if it's about Qin Yao?" Yunyue's tone was a bit tentative.
"Qin Yao!" Lin Chen reacted strongly and rushed out immediately. As soon as he saw Qin Yao, he asked: "What's wrong with Yao'er?"
"Haha, I thought you had a rock-like heart, but it turns out that your weaknesses will be exposed in front of the woman you love." Yunyue smiled faintly, a little envious and a little sad.
"Tell me quickly, what happened to Yao'er?"
"Aren't you afraid of being noticed and gossiped about?"
"Uh... I'm sorry, please come in."
"This is the demeanor a gentleman should have." Yunyue smiled and walked in slowly.
"Sister Yunyue, can we talk now?" Lin Chen said seriously.
"Don't worry, the fact that I came over to talk to you about Qin Yao means that nothing has gone wrong with Qin Yao yet. There is just a problem that I have to remind you," Yunyue said.
"Please speak?" Lin Chen listened carefully.
"In Fenyun Valley, besides Qin Yao, I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows your identity, right?" Yunyue said sternly: "However, Gu Qi seems to have doubts about you."
"I know, but he's not sure." Lin Chen said.
"Yes." Yunyue said solemnly: "Because of you, I have paid more attention to Qin Yao. I happened to find someone sneaking around Qin Yao's residence tonight."
"Who?" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask.
"They should be people from the Piaomiao Realm. After all, there are many weapon refiners from the Piaomiao Realm in this external assessment. The status of the weapon refiners has always been high and they are protected." Yunyue said seriously.
Said: "So I specifically asked Elder Yuntong for the information on today's assessment list. I felt that one person was extremely suspicious."
"Well, keep talking!" Lin Chen's expression had changed.
"This person is from a famous family in the Piaomiao Domain, Nangong Hao, the eldest son of Nangong Li, the elder of the Nangong family." Yunyue analyzed in detail: "And the Nangong family itself is powerful, and many outstanding family members are studying in the Piaomiao Domain!
And Nangong Hao is the most talented weapon-refining wizard of the Nangong family. He has profound martial arts skills and is a candidate to succeed the next head of the Nangong family!"
"Nangong Hao?" Lin Chen frowned. He didn't know anything about the famous families in the Piaomiao Realm. But Lin Chen had always been smart, and he probably understood what Yunyue meant, and said: "According to you, Nangong Hao wants to
By taking advantage of this weapon refining event to consolidate your position in the family, you may have reached some kind of ulterior secret with Gucci in private?"
"Smart!" Yunyue said with a serious face: "And Nangong Hao ranked only below you in the last peripheral assessment, so his weapon refining ability should not be underestimated. And the Nangong family also attaches great importance to Nangong Hao. This time, he specially
Two guardians were dispatched. But according to my observation, there is only one guardian in the refining room where Nangong Hao is now, and the whereabouts of the other guardian is unknown."
"I understand, you mean that the suspect is another protector beside Nangong Hao?" Lin Chen asked.
"It's very possible." Yunyue replied: "It's just that the suspect hasn't made any moves yet. He just keeps sneaking around Qin Yao's residence."
"Sneaky? Don't you have the duty of care in Fenyun Valley?" Lin Chen was quite dissatisfied.
"If it is in the gold medal refining room and the VIP refining room, Ben Gu will naturally pay special attention to it. But Qin Yao seems to have deliberately stayed away from Gucci and applied for an additional ordinary house." Yunyue said: "You also know that those who participate in the assessment
There are many weapon refiners, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons. With the manpower and ability of this valley, it is impossible for every residence to be so carefully guarded. It is also because of you that I pay a little more attention to Qin Yao."
"Thank you." Lin Chen was grateful.
"You're welcome. You have been kind to me, and I personally think highly of you. I hope you can perform better at tomorrow's weapon refining event, and I don't want you to be disturbed by unfavorable factors again," Yunyue said.
"Then I hope you can help me again. I will never let anyone threaten Yao'er!" Lin Chen said coldly, offending Qin Yao would be offending his nirvana.
"I'm actually here. I will definitely help you. However, this person's strength is extraordinary. He is estimated to be at the second-level Golden Core Realm! I think you don't want to reveal your identity easily. If you act rashly, you will only alert the snake." Yunyue said sternly.
: "So I will send people secretly to protect Qin Yao day and night."
"No need, I have my own way to solve the problem, take me there!" Lin Chen said decisively.
"This..." Yunyue felt quite embarrassed and said: "This is in Fenyun Valley, and the opponent's strength is not simple, and he has not done anything detrimental to Qin Yao for the time being. Being impulsive is not a good thing."
"Just lead the way, I have my own sense of discretion!" Lin Chen's attitude was resolute. Even if Gucci wanted to play dirty, he might as well use his tricks to control the suspect.
"Well, I have guessed a long time ago that your care for Qin Yao has surpassed everything else, how could it put her at a disadvantage?" Yunyue sighed softly: "I can lead the way for you, but you must not
Make a scene."
"Don't worry, it's more than enough to deal with a stray fish!" Lin Chen vowed.
Soon!
Yunyue led the way for Lin Chen, and Lin Chen also took off his mask and put on the clothes of a disciple of Fenyun Valley, so that even Yun Tong could not guess his identity.
…
Late at night, people are quiet!
The sky above Fenyun Valley was still shrouded in thick fire clouds.
Since the weapon refining event is approaching, all the participating weapon refiners have entered a state of hibernation. Therefore, they need to be energetic and treat tomorrow's weapon refining event with the best mental outlook.
Even the weapon refiners who have not qualified for the competition have gone through several rounds of peripheral assessments and learned a lot of weapon refining experience, and they are all in seclusion in the weapon refining room.
Therefore, the entire Fenyun Valley was completely quiet.
As the future young master of Fenyun Valley, Yunyue walked back and forth with her eyes closed, familiar with the road, and did not attract anyone's attention.
After running around for a long time, Yunyue led Lin Chen secretly into a group residence.
In this residence, the people arranged to live there are not distinguished foreigners, so there is a mix of good and bad, but generally no one dares to cause trouble in Fenyun Valley.
"That's it." Yunyue said softly.
"Oh~ Yao'er even deliberately avoids Guqi, but there is no need to choose such a place. This makes people feel too unreliable." Lin Chen sighed softly.
"If you weren't too high-profile, Guqi would naturally not pay attention to you." Yunyue rolled her eyes and said: "But Guqi is still very interested in Qin Yao. Maybe he took this step because he was suspicious of you.
, beware of one hand."
"It's strange that you have doubts about me, but why haven't you taken action yet?" Lin Chen frowned.
"Maybe Gucci is not sure enough about you, but if you can break into the top eight, he will naturally be threatened! According to the rules of the weapon refining event, there will be a one-day off period for the final competition after the top eight. Then
That's when he considers taking action." Yunyue said seriously: "Of course, this is just my personal guess."
"Yes, he is meticulous, which is exactly what I guessed." Lin Chen nodded slightly, with a stern look in his eyes, and said: "Just tell me where Qin Yao lives, and then leave it to me!"
"Well, remember to be careful! It's quiet at night, so try not to make too much noise." Yunyue reminded again, and then guided Lin Chen's way.
Soon!
Lin Chen gathered his breath and disappeared quietly into the dark night like a ghostly and invisible ghost.
