Chapter 225 Another Easy Win

After deciding to refine the third-level sword, Zhou Ling waved his hand and took out several materials.

The third-level spiritual gold fire gold stone, Gengjin, and the third-level fire spirit stone.

The treasure he wanted to refine this time was the fire gold sword, and the fire gold stone and Gengjin were the main materials.

In addition, the fire spirit stone was used to increase the spirituality and toughness of the sword.

Of course, the final effect still depends on the fire gold sword seal that is integrated.

As for its specific effect, it is still hard to say at the moment when the sword is refined.

Then, Zhou Ling exhaled lightly and began to refine the treasure step by step.

After placing the refining furnace, he moved his mind, and the Qianyang True Fire shining with a faint golden light fell into the cauldron and burned fiercely.

After heating the refining furnace, Zhou Ling put the fire gold stone and Gengjin into it and began to quench it.

Fire gold stone and Gengjin are both third-level quality, and only the earth fire above the third level can refine them.

Of course, the earth fire in Xuanyuan Daoyuan is now of the fourth level, which is completely enough to refine the third-level things.

However, if the earth fire is used for refining, the speed will be much slower.

Most of the time of these few hours of assessment may be spent on quenching materials.

Although it can save consumption, it takes too long.

So Zhou Ling still chose to use the spiritual flame directly, and the Qianyang True Fire is now close to the fourth level.

It is not difficult to quench the third-level materials.

After the two materials burned for an incense stick in the furnace, they began to melt.

Zhou Ling felt extremely relaxed, and he didn't need to control it at all, and the consumption was very small.

He could even ignore it completely.

He could also think about the refining method of the Golden Fire Sword Seal in his mind.

The effect is really good.

"Is Zhou Ling crazy? He actually chose to refine a third-level sword?"

Looking at the materials in Zhou Ling's furnace, Dean Zhong said with surprise on his face.

Although he knew that Zhou Ling could refine a second-level top-grade treasure.

But there is a huge gap between the second-grade and third-grade ones.

Not only is the material difficult to refine, but the difficulty of refining the inscription is also very different.

Qin Zhizheng also raised his eyebrows. Although he gave Zhou Ling the art of controlling the seal, it is still very difficult for Zhou Ling to refine the third-grade sword seal.

"It is unheard of that a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building wants to refine a third-grade treasure."

"At such a young age, it is not a good mentality to be so ambitious!"

The other two judges also spoke out.

After all, the difficulty of the third-grade inscription is several times that of the second-grade inscription, not to mention that the spiritual treasure seal in it is difficult to do with the spiritual power of the foundation-building cultivator.

Even if there are hundreds of inscriptions on one inscription, the spiritual power of the foundation-building cultivator can hardly support such a huge consumption.

What's more, Zhou Ling is only a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

Although he is a heaven-grade foundation-building cultivator, the spiritual power in his body is purer and richer than that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

But it is impossible to reach the level of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

So in their opinion, Zhou Ling was just a little too arrogant!

"I think he knew he couldn't beat the other two late-stage foundation-building cultivators, so he just gave it a try!"

"And even if he fails, he can just practice. After all, it's a rare opportunity to refine a third-level treasure!"

The two Tiangongsi judges discussed seriously.

They had never met Zhou Ling before, so in their opinion, Zhou Ling was just being too ambitious.

"I don't think so. Zhou Ling never fights a battle he's not sure of!"

On the side, Zhong Daojian laughed out of character.

This year, he had some preconceived notions about Zhou Ling because Zhou Ling failed the foundation-building test.

So every time he competed, he felt that it would be difficult for Zhou Ling to achieve anything.

But he was slapped in the face again and again.

Now looking at Zhou Ling again, why do I feel that this kid is hiding more and more, and he really can't see through it.

"Yes!"

"Have you ever seen a foundation-building cultivator's spiritual flame being able to refine third-level materials so easily?"

Dean Zhong also said with a look of surprise on his face.

While they were discussing this, the materials in Zhou Ling's furnace had melted completely.

He began to enter the spell and shape the sword.

Seeing this scene, the two judges from the Tiangong Division couldn't help but widen their eyes and said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

"No wonder he dared to choose to refine a third-level treasure, it turns out that he has a fourth-grade spiritual flame in his hand!"

In the foundation-building period, at such a young age, he can control a fourth-grade spiritual flame, which makes the people present, including Dean Zhong and others, a little envious.

"No, this spiritual flame is only third-grade."

"But a third-grade spiritual flame can be so powerful?"

However, after a closer look, the spiritual flame in Zhou Ling's furnace seemed to have not reached the fourth grade.

Originally, several judges were a little skeptical about Zhou Ling's refining of a third-grade treasure.

After all, he was only in the initial stage of foundation-building cultivation, and the gap between them was too big.

For many cultivators, it is impossible to achieve this even in their lifetime.

But seeing the powerful power of the spiritual flame in Zhou Ling's hand, they are looking forward to whether Zhou Ling can refine a third-level treasure.

After all, if he can refine a third-level treasure in the early stage of foundation building, he can be regarded as a child of destiny in the entire Dao League.

Although Qingyun Immortal City is a fourth-grade immortal city, it is not outstanding in the entire Dao League.

Even in Qingyang Immortal Domain, it is far from enough compared with the prosperous immortal cities in the central and eastern parts.

So it is definitely not easy to cultivate a child of destiny.

"No wonder Zhou Ling is so good at refining weapons. It turns out that he has a fourth-grade spiritual flame in his hand."

"Yes, with a fourth-grade spiritual flame, wouldn't it be easy to refine?"

"Who said he only has one? I saw three in the last inner courtyard competition."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You can collect a fourth-grade spiritual flame?"

"The flames released by the spiritual flame alone will probably burn you to ashes."

"He has so many spiritual flames in his hands, that's also a skill!"

"But he is only in the early stage of foundation building, and he can refine a third-grade treasure. Can this succeed?"

"That's right, but I have never heard of anyone who can successfully refine a third-grade treasure in the early stage of foundation building!"

Looking at Zhou Ling controlling the spiritual flame, many disciples were also talking with envy.

For them, let alone three spiritual flames, even one is good enough.

You know, this heaven and earth spiritual flame is an extremely rare thing, even rarer than the human race's heavenly spiritual root cultivators.

It is not easy to encounter it.

To subdue it, it requires the right time, the right place, and all kinds of opportunities.

Zhou Ling has three spiritual flames in his hand, which shows how great this opportunity is.

Of course, not many people know that there are five spiritual flames now, otherwise there will be an uproar.

In the envious and surprised eyes of many disciples in the square, Zhou Ling kept playing the refining spells in his hands, and used his spiritual sense to correct the instrument that had condensed into a sword shape in the furnace.

As the spiritual flames were collected, a sword more than three feet long and shining with a faint golden fire light took shape.

"It's formed!"

Looking at the sword, Zhou Ling's eyes showed joy.

Through the flames, he could feel the blazing breath coming from the sword at this moment.

However, successfully shaping the sword shape is only the second step in refining the sword.

The last step, integrating the sword seal, is the key factor in determining the success or failure of the quality of this sword.

However, Zhou Ling did not rush to refine the golden fire sword seal, but took out the pill and took it.

[You are refining and absorbing the Yuanqi Pill, the spiritual medicine stress +1, the Yuanqi Pill efficacy +2]

As the Yuanqi Pill turned into a rich spiritual energy, it was quickly refined and absorbed by Zhou Ling.

A quarter of an hour later, the spiritual power in his body was fully restored.

[Your Qianyang True Fire absorbs the Earth Fire, Five Elements Thunder Gang +1, Qianyang True Fire +3]

At the same time, after absorbing the Earth Fire, the Qianyang True Fire also recovered rapidly.

Since the Five Elements Heart Fire is now Zhou Ling's natal spiritual flame.

So when Zhou Ling controls the Qianyang True Fire to refine materials, the Qianyang True Fire is also affected by the talent [meticulous].

So the consumption is not that great.

After recovering roughly, Zhou Ling tried to condense the third-level Golden Fire Sword Seal.

The Golden Fire Sword Seal is somewhat similar to the Fire Cloud Sword Seal he tried to draw last time.

The main treasure seal on it is the Golden Fire Treasure Seal.

There are 120 inscriptions.

Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for Zhou Ling to draw this Golden Fire Sword Seal.

But there is a consumption of more than three times of [Meticulous], plus the assistance of Qianyang True Fire.

For Zhou Ling, who has successfully refined the third-level Fire Cloud Sword Seal in one go, it is not that difficult.

As the Golden Fire Sword Seal appeared in his mind, Qianyang True Fire condensed.

The flames once again enveloped the sword as it rose.

He used his mana and consciousness to cooperate with the spiritual flame and began to carve inscriptions on the sword.

"This kid is really crazy, refining the sword seal directly on the sword embryo?"

A judge of the Tiangong Division couldn't help but speak out, with a puzzled look on his face.

You know, when ordinary weapon refiners refine inscriptions, they must try to carve on spiritual paper first.

After successfully drawing, they will draw on the sword body.

Otherwise, if it fails, the sword embryo will be scrapped.

In addition, it may be that they have refined this sword seal before, so they can get started directly.

But generally speaking, the inscriptions that appear in this kind of assessment are relatively rare.

So these Tiangong guards cannot master it proficiently.

And Zhou Ling just started like this.

He did not refine according to common sense at all, which surprised them all.

"Could this kid have become a little arrogant after building a foundation with a heavenly grade?"

Dean Zhong also looked puzzled.

In the past, Zhou Ling refined the inscription, but he drew it many times during the refining process before engraving it on the sword.

Now he drew it directly on the sword, which was indeed completely different from his original style.

Qin Zhizheng and Zhang Daojian also had the same doubts.

"Zhou Ling is always calm and stable, and he won't take risks. This shouldn't be the case!"

Qin Zhizheng also thought to himself.

He was thinking about whether he should give him more training in the future, otherwise he would be too smooth sailing at such a young age.

That would indeed be prone to personality problems.

After all, a third-level sword seal, even at his current level, could not be successful in one go.

Of course, this also made them pay more attention to Zhou Ling.

See what this kid is up to?

After half an hour.

A golden fire sword seal slowly formed on the body of the golden fire sword embryo, releasing a sharp aura.

As the golden fire sword seal took shape, Zhou Ling immediately used the Qianyang True Fire to continuously refine it, making it more condensed and turning it into a sword seal.

Then he entered the spell, combined with the Qianyang True Fire, and integrated the sword seal into the sword body.

With the help of the Qianyang True Fire, he felt at ease when refining it.

Even the third-level sword seal seemed easy and smooth.

There was no obscure sense of oppression.

Time passed slowly, and the Golden Fire Sword Seal was constantly integrated into the treasured sword.

The golden fire light on the sword body continued to burn brighter and became sharper.

"Puff!"

After a while, a dazzling golden fire light bloomed on the Golden Fire Sword.

The Golden Fire Sword Seal was completely integrated with the sword embryo, and the sword energy surged around it, pulling the spiritual energy.

At this moment, the golden fire sword light that burst out from its sword body was several feet long, shining with a breath that made people tremble with fear.

"Golden Fire Sword, it's done!"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ling's eyes showed joy.

The Golden Fire Sword in front of him was already a veritable third-level treasured sword.

Zhou Ling could feel the strong sword energy fluctuations coming from the sword body.

Zhou Ling was satisfied. Today, he felt that refining this third-level inferior Golden Fire Sword Seal seemed to be easier than the last time he refined the Fire Cloud Sword Seal.

The spiritual flame of the Golden Soul Burning Sky Flame is indeed an excellent flame for refining weapons.

Of course, if there is no talent such as [Meticulous] to cooperate, it will not reach this level.

As the golden sword light shone, everyone in the judges' seats and the audience seats looked at this scene in disbelief.

"A third-level sword, it's done?"

"How is this possible? He is only in the early stage of foundation building, and he has successfully built his foundation for less than half a year."

"This is a true genius."

"It's really annoying to compare with others!"

"This kind of terrifying talent for refining weapons is rare even in my Xuanyuan Taoist Academy!"

"Zhou Ling is not only the first genius of my Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, but also the first genius of the entire Qingyun Immortal City."

In the square, all the disciples looked at the shining golden sword light on the assessment platform and exclaimed in disbelief.

You know, it has only been more than two hours since the assessment.

Let's not talk about other magicians, just take Xu Baoyuan and Zhao Sui, the two most outstanding young Tiangong guards of Tiangong Division.

At this moment, they have only completed the tempering of the second-level top-grade spirit sword embryo.

You know, they are all late-stage foundation cultivators.

At this moment, looking at the third-level golden fire sword in Zhou Ling's hand shining with dazzling golden sword light.

Both of them looked incredulous.

Although they had heard of it before, for them, every year there would be so-called geniuses entering the Tiangong Division from the Xuanyuan Daoyuan.

But who could beat them?

But now they saw the third-level golden fire sword in Zhou Ling's hand.

They also truly realized that Zhou Ling's weapon-refining ability was even far better than theirs.

There was an incredible sense of frustration in their hearts.

"How did this kid do it?"

Dean Zhong couldn't help but say in surprise and joy.

A foundation-building realm can refine a third-level treasure. Even the inner courtyard disciples of the Xuanyuan Daoyuan headquarters in Qingyang Xiancheng can hardly do it.

And Zhou Ling is only in the early stage of foundation-building.

Such talent really shocked him, a dean who has seen the world.

This is already a peerless genius.

Originally thought that Zhou Ling's original performance was shocking enough.

But unexpectedly, his potential is far more than that.

Not only Dean Zhong, but also several other judges were shocked.

Zhou Ling's performance was really amazing!

"Good, good, good! The first place in this assessment is Zhou Ling!"

Qin Zhizheng announced directly.

The assessment was not even halfway through.

The other four judges had no objections.

Zhou Ling successfully refined a third-level sword, which meant that he succeeded in first place.
