Shi Lei turned his head and saw a tall and strong figure, about twenty-four years old, looking at the two people with a bitter look on his face.
"This is Senior Brother Yun Shaojun, who usually takes good care of me." Xi'er saw the young man coming and said to Shi Lei.
In fact, Shi Lei had been aware of the youth's existence for a long time, but he never revealed it. It wasn't until Xi'er revealed it that he turned around.
"This is your ideal person, Xi'er." Yun Shaojun came over and looked at Shi Lei, without any look of disdain. Since Xi'er likes this person, it means that he must have something special about him.
Xi'er nodded shyly, but her face was filled with happiness.
Yun Shaojun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and the disappointment he had never felt before welled up in his heart. But he understood that human emotions cannot be forced, and the melons that are forced will not be sweet.
"It seems that you are very happy, so I am relieved." Yun Shaojun said hello to Xi'er and left.
"He likes you very much." Shi Lei said, holding Xi'er's hand.
"Well, he is very kind to me, and he is the grandson of my teacher, but I already have someone in my heart." Looking at Yun Shaojun's lonely back, Xi'er felt a little sad.
"This age is the peak of the mid-term military commander's strength, which is not bad." Shi Lei nodded.
"He is twenty-four years old this year. Although he is the grandson of a master, he is very diligent. He doesn't talk much, but he is a very nice person."
Shi Lei nodded, not having any bad feelings towards this Yun Shaojun.
"You're just leaving like that? It's really useless?" Not long after Yun Shaojun walked out, a mocking voice sounded in his ears.
"Yun Yan, you don't understand." Shaojun said, looking at the person next to him.
Yun Shaojun and Yun Yan were brothers who grew up playing together and had a very good relationship. Yun Yan was extremely talented in weapon refining, while Yun Shaojun was even better at practicing martial arts.
"Young Jun, you need to change your character. How can we do this if you are too soft-hearted? I know that boy. He was sent by the Splitting Cloud Sect to participate in the competition. His name seems to be Shi Lei. I will humiliate him severely during the competition.
Fan, let me vent your anger for you!"
"I will handle my own affairs. This matter ends here." Yun Shaojun was a little unhappy, "Yun Yan, if you do this, Xi'er will definitely not be happy, and I can see that Shi Lei is refining weapons.
The strength in this aspect should be pretty good.”
"So what if he's good? I don't believe he can win me. Shaojun, are you too cowardly to watch Xi'er fall into the arms of others?"
"Xi'er is not something that can be fought for. She has the right to make her own choice, rather than conquering it with force. Okay, Yun Yan, I want to be alone for a while."
"You, hey." Yun Yan sighed softly, shook his head and left, but there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "Shi Lei, when you look good, I will definitely vent my anger on Shaojun!"
…
The weapon refiners from all over Yunzhou who planned to participate in the competition gathered in Fengyun Sect. According to the analysis of Split Cloud Sect intelligence personnel, there were four or five powerful ones from Fengyun Sect this time, two or three from Cangyun Prefecture, and some others.
Qualified casual cultivators in Zhejiang also came.
This is the first time that such a large-scale competition has been held in Yunzhou. All the famous weapon refiners came one after another to see the strength of the younger generation. However, Mr. Yuan, Qi Yuanzi and others did their part to become
Judge.
After Shi Lei said goodbye to Xi'er, he returned to the room to meditate and rest, planning to face a new challenge.
This day finally ushered in the Yunzhou Weapon Refiner Competition. In the vast square of Fengyun Sect, dozens of identical furnaces and tripods were placed on it. There were other refining facilities next to it, and the flames themselves
You can choose at will.
Nowadays, the most common flames in the mainland include red flames, yellow flames, and purple sky flames. Experienced weapon refiners can operate red and yellow fireworks very well. Purple sky fireworks are often only available to fifth-level weapon refiners.
Start experimenting because it's difficult to maneuver.
As the contestants stood next to a furnace, there was a wooden sign with their name engraved on it. There were fifty people participating in the competition this time, and there was a piece of weapon refining materials next to each person.
You can refine low-grade ghost weapons.
In fact, the rules of the competition are very simple, that is, whoever refines the weapon with the highest quality wins. This time, the top five will receive the Honorary Medal of the Weapon Refiner issued by the Yunzhou Weapon Refining Guild, and there will also be other prizes.
The Weapon Refining Guild is composed of some well-known weapon refining masters in Yunzhou. It is recognized by the royal family and works for the royal family. However, the medals it issues are universal and do not contain any moisture.
As the host of the competition announced, everyone got busy. In the auditoriums on the left and right, everyone was paying attention to everyone's actions.
There is only one copy of the material, so success or failure depends on it. However, as a weapon refiner, the success rate is extremely low. In addition to super strength, luck is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
Shi Lei positioned this weapon refining as a low-grade ghost weapon. Although he had only succeeded once, he was going to give it a try.
For weapon refiners, they must set good standards for the weapons they refine. Then there are only two results. One is success and the predetermined goal is achieved, and the other is a scrap, not even a mortal weapon. Therefore, some people who are newly promoted to high
Fifth-level weapon refiners now choose to refine middle-grade general weapons, because for them, the success rate of high-grade general weapons is less than 5%, so they might as well choose to be more confident and refining middle-grade general weapons with safety.
good.
For Shi Lei, there is no problem in refining a high-grade general weapon. As for a low-grade ghost weapon, he is only three-thirds sure. However, since he is here, he must challenge himself, so according to Shi Lei's character, he can refine a low-grade ghost weapon.
It's the only option, regardless of whether it succeeds or not.
As the refining master began to control the ignition of the flame, the temperature in the square quickly rose. Dozens of furnace cauldron flames danced, pushing the temperature to a higher level again.
Most people chose the yellow flames they were familiar with, and a very small number of people had purple sky fireworks in their cauldrons. As time went by, after half a day, some people had already completed or failed, and low-grade ghost weapons generally required
The installation time is two days, and the installation time usually takes about one day. Of course, this is only for most people.
The person next to Shi Lei wears the waist badge of Cangyun Sect, which is engraved with the word "Canglan". This person is about thirty years old. According to his operation method, the extraction and arrangement of materials should also be intended to refine a low-grade ghost weapon.
Next to Canglan is a skinny middle-aged man, nearly fifty years old, with skilled skills and smooth movements. It is obvious at a glance that he is an expert in refining weapons for many years. However, what is a bit surprising is that this man chose yellow.
The use of flames to refine weapons makes people a little confused.
Shi Lei had Yun Yan on his left front, looking confident and disdainful of the completed works. It was no wonder that as a sixth-level weapon refiner, how could he take the next, middle-level weapon in his eyes.
As the sun slowly sets, there are less than twenty contestants left in the square, and the most completed one is a top-grade general weapon of average quality.
Gradually, the day passed, and now there were only five people left in the square. In addition to Shi Lei, Yun Yan, Cang Lan, a skinny middle-aged man, and a casual cultivator in his forties, the five of them stood among the crowd.
Stay tuned and continue to build weapons.
"Who do you think is the most likely to win among these five people? Hey, why have you never heard of that boy named Shi Lei? He can survive until now. Isn't he just being mysterious?"
"This is the first time I've seen this, but I heard that Split Cloud from Split Cloud Sect is back, and he's also a seventh-level weapon refiner. This kid should have been taught by him. It's not easy for him to reach such a young age.
Come on." An old man wearing a medal with six stars said, and gave a few instructions to the person next to him.
After walking for an hour, the follower returned to the old man and whispered a few words, which made the old man's expression change.
"This Shi Lei has only been refining weapons for four years. How can he persist until now, unless he wants to create a ghost weapon? But it is incredible that he can create a ghost weapon after four years of refining weapons."
"From this point of view, Yun Yan's victory is certain. This Shi Lei probably won't be able to complete the ghost weapon. If we can reach the level of refining ghost weapons in four years, then we won't all hit the wall."
"Brother Shi Lei, you can definitely do it!" Xi'er and Qian'er also came to the scene, silently cheering for Shi Lei.
