Chapter 313: What Weapon Refinement Truly Is!

“I’ll teach you how to refine weapons.”

Against Tao Feng’s challenge, Su Zimo’s single statement widened the gap between them instantly.

“Hehe!”

Tao Feng laughed coldly. “I’ll see for myself what Mr. Mo has to teach me!”

The emperor waved his hand. “Let the competition for the Weapon Ranking officially begin.”

As the emperor finished his sentence, cultivators taking part in the Weapon Ranking competition broke free from the crowd and arrived at the spacious sunken area between the four jade pillars.

Tao Feng walked over. His gaze was provocative and had never left Su Zimo.

“All the best, Senior Brother Xue!”

“Junior Brother Xue, go on. With Junior Brother Su around, you can just give it all you’ve got without any pressure.”

Under the encouragement of little fatty, Leng Rou and the others, Xue Yi arrived at the sunken area as well. He was filled with confidence, spirited and in a perfect state.

Xue Yi knew that given his current state, there was even a chance he could outperform himself!

Su Zimo sat high and above, unmoving as he watched everything quietly without any intention of getting up.

No matter what, he was the judge selected by the emperor – his position was unshakable!

There was no restriction to the type of spirit weapon one could refine for the Weapon Ranking competition. However, each person only had three chances.

Within three rounds of weapon refinement, they had to select the spirit weapon with the best grade and quality for the final evaluation.

If they failed all three rounds of weapon refinement, it would mean that they have lost the rights to compete.

There were a total of 1,072 Weapon Refinement Masters taking part in the sect competition this time round and they were all gathered in the sunken area.

Almost at the same time, all of them took out their Weapon Tripods and placed it in front of them.

Swoosh!

Instantly, countless flames soared, illuminating against one another. There were some Level 1 Spirit Fires and even some at Level 3.

He was warming his tripod.

Those who were able to compete in the sect competition were the elites of each sect. Naturally, they were extremely familiar with the process of weapon refinement.

The many cultivators had long chosen their materials. Right after warming their Weapon Tripods, they placed their materials within and increased the temperature of the flames to begin smelting.

For this step, the higher the level of the flame, the more the impurities that could be purged.

Xue Yi had already cultivated a Level 2 Spirit Fire while Tao Feng’s Spirit Fire was at the highest level of 3!

Time slowly passed.

The first to complete the smelting process was Tao Feng.

The next step, forging.

After that, tempering.

Cultivators from both the spectator area and the square were attracted to Tao Feng’s weapon refinement technique as they nodded silently.

Tao Feng’s technique was indeed far beyond those surrounding him.

It was truly rare for someone to have such an understanding and attainment towards weapon refinement at the age of 30.

However, another name flashed across everyone’s mind right after and they could not help but turn to look at Su Zimo who was seated at the top.

At that moment, Su Zimo was calm; Tao Feng’s brilliant weapon refinement technique did not seem to have any effect on him.

“Hey!”

Just as everyone was attracted to the thousand odd Weapon Refinement Masters in the square, Demoness Ji snuck to Su Zimo’s side. She blew into his ear and called in a seductive manner.

Su Zimo was expressionless and did not move.

When Demoness Ji caught sight of Su Zimo’s slightly stiff body and blushed face, she could not help but purse her lips with a smile wheedled, “Second Young Master Su, you’re so biased!”

The corner of Su Zimo’s mouth twitched as he scanned his surroundings with an unnatural expression. When he saw that no one was looking in their direction, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Leaning close to Su Zimo’s body, Demoness Ji exhaled with the fragrance of flowers and whispered, “I heard that you customized the long robe that my sister is wearing?”

“Yes,” Su Zimo was helpless and could only reply with the truth.

“I want one too!”

Demoness Ji said exasperatedly, “I don’t even have clothes that are suitable for me. Look at what I’m wearing. It’s not even fitting at all!”

Su Zimo turned to look instinctively and caught sight of Demoness Ji’s fair, white chest.

Instantly, he spun his head back and took a deep breath of air while closing his eyes to compose himself.

Before he knew it, he had broken out in cold sweat and was looking disheveled.

“This demoness…”

Even though Su Zimo knew full well that these were Demoness Ji’s methods of seduction, there was nothing he could do to her.

Furthermore, the emperor was behind him and Ji Yaoxue was beside him. An indescribable sense of excitement plucked at his heart strings and it was hard for him to control himself.

By now, in the sunken area, Tao Feng was already one with tempering and had begun on spirit gathering.

Before long, he gathered his first spirit pattern.

Sima Zhi of True Fire Sect nodded to himself. He had witnessed Tao Feng’s entire weapon refinement process and there were no mistakes at all – there was a high chance a superior-grade spirit weapon could be refined!

A short while later, another ray of spirit light
