Chapter 256 Shock
When Shi Chun led the Mingshan Sect's group to the meeting place, he did not see the Siding Sect's group.
Maybe my group arrived too early, and in this kind of situation, the first one to arrive will wait first.
They waited and waited, but until dawn, no one from the Siding Sect arrived.
Although he had only waited for an hour, Shi Chun was still puzzled. The distance should not be far, and the other party should not have trouble finding the place. This was where he and Xu Anchang had met before.
If you don't even have the ability to remember the route and find the way, then isn't running into the Divine Fire Domain just courting death?
If you run so far that you can't find the way back, you'll be so funny that you'll die.
Naturally, I wondered if something had happened.
"Boss, how long do we have to wait?" Zhu Xiangxin asked, and it was obvious that she was also quite anxious.
Shi Chun could understand that weapon refiners and alchemists wanted the same thing. Wasting time at this moment was a torment for them, and it was all written on their faces.
But he also didn't like endless comforting, so he said lightly, "Wait, wait as long as you can."
There was a harsh tone in his voice, which immediately calmed Zhu Xiangxin's anxious mood, and the same went for An Wuzhi.
Shi Chun doesn't care if the people from the Siding Sect don't come. When the Demonic Path asks about it later, it can't be his fault. It's the people you arranged from the Demonic Path who have problems.
After a long wait, a large orange-yellow sun gradually emerged from the horizon, and the gravel mountain area began to be filled with bright flashes, all of which were crystals of various colors. It was very exotic and strange. It would be much more beautiful if you didn't need to take out the ice sheep from time to time to breathe.
At this time, a group of people in blue clothes also flew over here. From the color of their clothes, you can tell that they have finally arrived.
Wu Jinliang reminded, "Here it comes."
Twenty men in blue landed in front of them. Xu Anchang quickly walked up to Shi Chun and bowed apologetically, saying, "Brother Chun, I've been waiting for a long time."
Then he pointed to a tall, thin-lipped man with his hands behind his back and his chin raised and said, "Feng Yaoyang, our team leader."
Shi Chun quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Brother Feng, I have heard a lot about you. It is a great honor for our two teams to work together this time."
Feng Yaoyang raised his hand to stop him, as if he was not used to looking people in the eye. Even though he was clearly looking them in the eye, he turned around, tilted his body and looked at them and said, "Shichun, don't try to get close to me. I don't want to team up with you. It's Junior Brother Xu who has been persuading me."
He turned around and said to Xu Anchang: "Junior Brother Xu, let me say it again, you know Shi Chun's reputation, he is a treacherous person, if you team up with him, you will be associating with a wolf!"
Even though Shi Chun was mentally prepared for such blunt words, he was still stunned. He thought, can we still continue to work together like this?
Chu Jingtang and his gang had different expressions. Wu Jinliang looked Feng Yaoyang up and down and chuckled.
Xu Anchang stepped forward and said with a wry smile: "Brother Feng, Brother Chun and the others had no intention of teaming up with anyone. I took the initiative to invite them after I met them. After all, there are more than a dozen of them, so they can help us to some extent."
"Give me a helping hand?" Feng Yaoyang snorted, raised his chin towards Shi Chun and his group and asked, "Can you pick out someone among you who is at the high martial arts level?"
The implication is simple. If there is not even someone at the advanced level of martial arts, why should we lend a helping hand?
Shi Chun smiled and said, "It is precisely because we have nothing that we are willing to partner with others for protection. It is precisely because we have nothing that Brother Feng does not need to worry that we will do something bad. If we encounter the divine fire, we cannot beat you. Brother Feng, don't worry too much. We are here for a rare opportunity to broaden our horizons."
Feng Yaoyang took a quick look and could tell from Tong Mingshan's skin color that he was a weapon refiner. He pointed his finger and said, "Ask him. Ask the three of you who practiced fire-based skills. They came here just to broaden their horizons. Can they bear it? Xu Anchang, do you know that you are messing around?"
Shi Chun touched his forehead and said, "Forget it, I won't say any more. I have done my best. That's it. It would be strange if I could explain it to you. You people of the magic world can handle it yourselves."
Chu Jingtang and others didn't care and just watched the fun.
Xu Anchang also had to restrain his patience and said loudly: "Brother Feng, we don't know what will happen next. Thirteen more people are coming. This is something that other sects can't even think of. Can you not be so stubborn? Can you consider everyone's feelings? Fellow disciples, those who are willing to cooperate with Mingshan Sect, please raise your hands!"
He was the first to raise his hand.
You Mu raised his hand without saying anything, and then ten more people raised their hands.
Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang quickly glanced at the ten people, then looked at each other, guessing that these ten people were the twelve members of the demon sect that Xu Anchang had mentioned.
Perhaps due to the herd mentality, three of the remaining eight people raised their hands hesitantly.
Feng Yaoyang looked back at the raised hands and seemed a little angry, but he couldn't go against the will of the crowd. He turned back and glared at Xu Anchang, "Xu Anchang, you repeatedly make decisions on your own. Are you the team leader or am I the team leader? If something goes wrong, can you take the responsibility?"
Xu Anchang was ready to argue, and shouted, "I guarantee it with my life!"
Feng Yaoyang angrily pointed, "You..."
"Sect Master." Shi Chun turned around and called out, fearing that the situation over there might get out of control. He had to take care of his own business first. After inviting Tong Mingshan to the front, he introduced him to the people of the Si Ding Sect, "I forgot to introduce you all, this is our Sect Master Tong Mingshan!"
Feng Yaoyang immediately vented his anger and sneered, "With just a high level of martial arts cultivation, you dare to establish a sect. It's simply ridiculous."
Wu Jinliang chuckled and said, "Our sect master's cultivation is not as good as yours, but when you were at our sect master's level, I'm afraid you might not be as good as him. When our sect master was in Bailian Sect, he was the most talented in refining weapons among the disciples of the same level!"
People who can brag about themselves without any scruples will be even more unscrupulous in bragging about others. It’s just that my knowledge is limited, and I don’t know how to be the first, but I will just say I am the first anyway.
Tong Mingshan had a blank expression on his face, but he was actually extremely embarrassed inside. He really couldn't let the people from Bailian Sect hear these words.
Feng Yaoyang was amused, "To be number one in the Bailian Sect, you are really smart!"
Well, seeing that it had already begun, Chu Jingtang also spoke up: "I know this, not only in Bailian Sect, but also in Xuanzhou, our sect master's talent for refining is also recognized by all the sects in the same realm as the best in refining." Lao Changtai said: "You can look down on our cultivation, but you can't look down on our sect master's talent for refining. Back then, Situ Gu, the number one refiner, also went to Bailian Sect to teach our sect master how to refine weapons. If he was mediocre, how could he be favored like this?"
As soon as these words came out, the people of Siding Sect were shocked. Even Feng Yaoyang began to look at Tong Mingshan again, but he was still stubborn, "Anyway, we can't see Senior Situ here, so you guys just brag."
Chen Wuji said: "What's so good about this? What good will it do us? If it weren't for Senior Situ's secret care and guarantee, do you think we could have made an exception and entered the Divine Fire Region so easily?"
They were all once leaders sent by various factions to the Meteor Rain Conference, and that was not an exaggeration.
Most of the people from the Siding Sect had a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces, no wonder.
Xu Anchang and You Mu were both surprised and puzzled. They had never heard of this matter mentioned before.
The problem is that it didn't happen, so why did the higher-ups mention it? They didn't expect someone to brag so much.
Seeing their reactions, Wu Jinliang chuckled beside them.
Tong Mingshan felt so embarrassed that he secretly begged for mercy, hoping that these words would not get out, otherwise he would be too ashamed to face anyone in the future.
Unexpectedly, Shi Chun said to him: "Master, you are being questioned like this, and you are not going to say a word?"
This is forcing someone to do something, and they also hope that Mr. Tong can brag about something real. Otherwise, they will only shout about being good, strong, and number one, which is really a bit empty. The key is that they don't know anything about refining equipment, and they dare not brag about it.
Tong Mingshan had no choice but to speak, "Brother Feng, when I just broke through to the upper level of high martial arts, I cultivated the 'Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart' within half a day. I would like to ask Brother Feng at what level of cultivation did it take and how long to cultivate it."
After these words were spoken, the Siding Sect was shocked again. Only their colleagues knew what it meant for a high-level martial artist to refine a Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart in half a day.
Refining the Linglong Heart is a method of testing the skills of a refiner. The more tricks one can refine, the higher the skills are, which to a certain extent also means the higher the talent for refining.
Feng Yaoyang stared at Tong Mingshan in a daze, the shock in his eyes was obvious. Although his cultivation had reached a high level, he could only refine a seven-aperture exquisite heart in a day, while the other party had refined a nine-aperture heart in half a day. The difference between them was really huge, not to mention the additional gap caused by the difference in cultivation between the two.
Xu Anchang was knowledgeable, so he looked at Shi Chun with an inquiring look.
Shi Chun nodded slightly to indicate that it was indeed the case.
Xu Anchang's expression became serious.
Of course, Feng Yaoyang still said stubbornly, "I don't believe that a high-level martial artist can cultivate a Nine-aperture Exquisite Heart in half a day."
Tong Mingshan said calmly, "It's simple. You'll know after a competition. There's no point talking about winning or losing. I am willing to compete with Brother Feng on this path to see who can refine the 'Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart' in the fastest time. If I lose, you can do whatever you want. If Brother Feng loses, I won't take advantage of you, lest you say I have ulterior motives. Brother Feng just needs to promise his fellow disciples that if he finds the divine fire, he will never touch it and give it to his fellow disciples. Is this fair?"
This statement shocked Shi Chun and his group. Is it true? Can you really refine it? Then why do we see from the reaction of the Siding Sect that it seems very difficult?
Little did they know that Tong Mingshan was betting that the Siding Sect did not have enough refining materials, because some materials might not be carried with them.
The shocked Siding Sect looked at each other. As expected, Feng Yaoyang snorted, "Let's wait until we get out alive. I can't gather all the necessary refining materials here."
Tong Mingshan remained calm and said, "It's okay. I am the sect leader after all. If you can't gather all the knowledge, I can. I will give you one copy. Today, you will learn from Brother Feng's superb skills."
Shi Chun and his gang were shocked again. They didn't expect that this guy was so talented.
The Siding Sect, which was forced into a desperate situation, was also shocked. They realized that they had truly met a genius in the weapon refining world. It was true that one should not underestimate the people in the world. No wonder he dared to establish his own sect.
Of course, there were also many disciples of the Siding Sect who were secretly delighted. If Senior Brother Feng was defeated, according to the bet, it would be easy for them to find the divine fire.
Feng Yaoyang's Adam's apple moved repeatedly. He was really stunned this time and couldn't utter a word. If he didn't agree, his pride wouldn't allow him to do so. But he knew that he couldn't refine the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart, and he couldn't give up the Divine Fire.
At this time, Tong Mingshan turned his head and stretched out his hand to Wu Jinliang, saying: "Wu Jinliang, give me the Qiankun bag, take the materials for my refining!"
Wu Jinliang was stunned. Are you fucking talking in your sleep?
But he soon realized that this lousy sect leader was actually deceiving others.
Shi Chun also reacted. There was some mysterious refining materials in Wu Jin's pocket. If he didn't know Tong Mingshan's intention and how to cooperate, he would have died in exile long ago.
He immediately raised his hand to Wu Jinliang to signal him to stop, and then he cupped his hands to Tong Mingshan to dissuade him, "Master, there's no need, there's really no need to argue like this. We still have to stay together all the way, there's no need to argue about winning or losing."
He turned to Xu Anchang and winked, "Brother Xu, will this refining take a long time? Time is precious. Isn't it worth it to delay the search for the divine fire for a competition?"
"Ah? Oh..." Xu Anchang also understood what Shi Chun meant. He wanted to cooperate with us to complete the task above and prevent Feng Yaoyang from missing the divine fire. He quickly responded, "That's right, this is not the place for internal strife. Everyone, get ready to set off. Finding the divine fire is the most important thing."
Feng Yaoyang was proud, but he kept silent at this time and quietly went down the slope.
A group of disciples of the Siding Sect sighed secretly. This was a case of someone who was arrogant because of his talent running into someone who was truly talented.
Shi Chun turned around and smiled and advised Tong Mingshan, "Master, no one really doubts your ability to refine weapons. If you were not an elite in the sect, how could the entire Bailian Sect let you lead the entire sect to fight in the Sky Rain Meteor Conference?"
Upon hearing this, the people from the Siding Sect looked back from time to time.
Chu Jingtang and his gang were secretly wondering what the boss was up to.
