The Void Gate didn't look big on the outside, but it was extremely spacious on the inside. Thirty-six people stepped into the void door and stood on both sides of the rectangular jade table. It still seemed very spacious.
Although the people in the hall could not penetrate the door with their spiritual awareness, they could clearly see the actions of the 36 people. At this time, everyone was looking forward to it. They had heard that the materials for the Radiant Martial Treasury were also very precious, but they did not know what those precious materials were.
The people who entered the Honorable Martial Treasury's void door were equally worried, although there were 36 people here, but in the end, only 20 entered the Honorable Martial Treasury. Moreover, the lower one's ranking was, the lesser the reward.
When all thirty-six of them stood up and each of them took a jade talisman, the jade box on the rectangular jade table suddenly opened. A translucent dewdrop appeared in front of everyone. The dewdrop was surrounded by water vapor, bringing with it a chilling aura of the Dao.
What is this? After the appearance of this dewdrop, not only the people in the Light Treasury, but even the many master refiners who came to participate in the competition were frowning in silence.
Tang Hua carefully sent a sound transmission to Ning Cheng, "Brother Ning, what is this thing? I've never seen it before. It seems to be ice or water. "
Tang Hua was a little apprehensive. Normally, the first question was the easiest. If he didn't even know the first question, then he definitely wouldn't know the rest. Fortunately, she was only here as a foil, as the main person to answer the questions was Ning Cheng.
However, Ning Cheng felt extremely surprised in his heart. What surprised him was not the material, but the Foundation of Crafting Artefacts that Zhongli Baichi had given him.
Originally, he had the confidence to come here to help Tang Hua participate in the selection. It was not because he had seen the basics of blacksmithing, but because he had seen countless blacksmithing jade slips and seen countless blacksmithing materials. He had seen these jade slips introducing the materials from Mount Jia Liang. Jia Liang Mountain was the site of the ancient Creation War. Naturally, the things that existed there were not simple. Not only that, but he had also seen Lu Dongce's Cosmic Vegetation. Plants and Trees of the Universe were not only used to describe alchemy materials, but they were also used to refine equipment.
It was precisely because of this that he had the confidence to participate in the competition to identify materials.
However, not only was this dewdrop not in any of the jade slips he had seen, it was also not in the Universe Plants. Instead, it was when he first learned the basics of refining.
This Basics of Crafting Artefact-crafting really was not ordinary, Ning Cheng immediately thought of Zhongli Baichi. Zhongli Baichi was also a mysterious person. After hearing about his battle with some Eternal-level Starry Sky Emperors from Grand Culmination Starry Sky, no one had heard any news about him.
Ning Cheng had already guessed that the Artefact-crafting Foundation that Zhongli Baichi had given him was not an ordinary one. Moreover, the Artefact-crafting Method for his Good Fortune Spirit Spear was also recorded in this book.
The grade of the Creation Divine Spear was much higher than any other divine weapon.
"Don't worry, I know this thing." Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness began to engrave information on the jade talisman.
Even though this thing looked like a dewdrop and even had Water Vapor Dao Runes, it was a true fire-type treasure. This thing was called Flaming Heart Holy Marrow, and it was condensed from the highest level of Innate Flames.
The dew condensed from the flame sounded incredible, but in fact, the Flame Heart Sacred Marrow was condensed from the flame.
To be able to condense the Flame Heart Sacred Marrow, it must be an innate flame, a sacred flame that had not been refined by humans. It was absolutely impossible for a flame that had been artificially refined to condense the precious Flame Heart Holy Marrow.
One of the most important functions of the Flame Heart Holy Marrow was to evolve flames into sacred flames. Moreover, there were also the Sun Core and Moon Core that could evolve flames into sacred flames.
However, the Flame Heart Holy Marrow was much more precious than the Sun Core and Moon Core. The Flame Heart Holy Marrow could not only evolve a god-level flame into a sacred flame, but even if the flame itself was limited and could not evolve into a sacred flame, the Flame Heart Holy Marrow could still evolve it into a sacred flame.
One could say that obtaining the Flame Heart Holy Marrow was equivalent to obtaining a sacred flame.
Ning Cheng put the engraved jade talisman into the hole above the jade box and spoke to Tang Hua, "I've already answered, there shouldn't be any problems."
Ning Cheng did not use a sound transmission but spoke directly. A yellow-haired man standing next to Ning Cheng heard Ning Cheng's words and turned his gaze to Ning Cheng for a while. Probably because of Ning Cheng's fierce reputation, he did not say anything.
After half-an-incense stick worth of time, the round hole above the jade box gradually closed, and some of the Artefact-crafting Masters who could not answer could only put in the blank jade talisman in their hands.
When everyone's jade talisman was put in, the rankings came out in less than ten breaths.
Ranked first was Grandmaster Seed, and ranked second was a lanky man named Si Tonghe. Although Ning Cheng answered the questions very carefully, but he was still only ranked 5th.
Seeing Ning Cheng's name on the list, Tang Hua heaved a sigh of relief and whispered to Ning Cheng, "I thought that Grandmaster Seed had gone to the Mo Lun Royal Region, but I didn't expect him to represent the Sacred Domain's Yi Clan Sacred Sect in the competition."
"Yi Clan?" Ning Cheng seemed to have heard of this surname somewhere.
Tang Hua explained from the side, "The Yi Clan is the strongest surname in the Radiance Sacred Domain. Among the ten Dao Monarchs, Yi Wenmao is said to be the strongest."
Ning Cheng nodded. He suspected that Grandmaster Seed going to the Mo Lun Royal Region was a smokescreen released by the Yi Clan, and only Tang Hua would fall for it. Just think about it, how could a powerful artefact-crafting expert like Grandmaster Seed not participate in the Radiance Treasury competition?
After the first round of the Radiance Treasury, there were a total of thirteen people ranked.
After the thirteen names were announced, the jade table disappeared, and a wide white jade passageway appeared at the back of the chaotic space. At the end of the white jade passage, another door appeared.
Those who were not on the list had no choice but to walk out of the first void door of the Radiance Treasury. After waiting for a long time, they came here just to answer one question, or rather, they had to leave before they could answer the first question.
The people in the Radiance Treasury's main hall were somewhat surprised. The thirteen people on the list, other than Ning Cheng, were basically the most famous artefact-crafting masters of Radiance Dominion. They never expected that the Tang family would casually hand such an important matter to Tang Hua. Tang Hua had randomly found an unknown artefact-crafting master, yet he had obtained fifth place in the first round.
If this was luck, then the Tang family's luck was too good.
Even Tang Shi was very surprised. To be honest, he was not optimistic about Ning Cheng's chances. Artefact-Crafting, especially identifying artefact-crafting materials, was not about strength, but experience and insight.
Ning Cheng was also very surprised. He did not expect that he would only obtain fifth place despite recognizing the Infernal Heart Sacred Marrow and answering it in such detail. Who said that the people of Radiance Dominion were not good at artefact-crafting? These guys were very strong.
Because of the thirteen people on the list, there were only twenty-six people in front of the rectangular jade table at the second door.
Tang Hua was in a very good mood. As long as Ning Cheng could answer the second question correctly, then he would almost certainly be able to enter the top ten. Even if Ning Cheng could not answer it, he would still have a chance to enter the top ten.
The jade box in front of the second jade table slowly opened, revealing a fist-sized pale yellow crystal in the middle of the jade box. This crystal looked just like an ordinary stone, it did not have any Dao Charm, no fluctuations, not even a trace of lines.
Ning Cheng immediately remembered the cobblestones on the beach, they were also very smooth. Unfortunately, this kind of identifying material could not be touched by hand.
"Elder Brother Ning …." Tang Hua looked at the fist-sized pale yellow crystal and knew that she still could not recognize it. She could only look at Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng frowned slightly, this thing gave him a familiar feeling, but it was not a very familiar feeling. To be honest, he had never seen this thing before.
"I'm afraid I can't recognize it this time." Ning Cheng spoke with some disappointment. Before he came here to participate in the selection, he was confident that he could enter the top three. But now that he could not recognize it in the second round, it made him feel very disappointed.
Once he could not recognize it in the second round, then even if he could recognize all the materials in the later rounds, it would not make any sense. This kind of competition depended on a bit of luck. If he could not pass the second round, then he would not be qualified to enter the third round, not to mention the fourth and fifth rounds.
Tang Hua's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment. Although Ning Cheng coming here was a pleasant surprise for her. But now that Ning Cheng really could not recognize it, she still felt a little disappointed. But then she tried to persuade him, "Elder Brother Ning, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we enter the Radiance Treasury or not. The reason I came here was to rely on my luck. "
Tang Hua did not speak nonsense. After knowing that Grandmaster Zhong Jing was not in the Mo Lun Imperial Region, she did not intend to enter the Radiance Treasury.
Seeing that some of the Artefact-crafting Masters had already started to inscribe jade talismans, Ning Cheng waved his hand at Tang Hua, "Miss Tang Hua, you don't have to be depressed. Let me try again."
Since it was a loss, Ning Cheng simply penetrated his Spiritual Consciousness into the pale yellow crystal.
Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness easily penetrated the surface of the pale yellow crystal. But when his Spiritual Consciousness tried to penetrate the centre of the crystal, it naturally slipped away. It was just missing a little bit.
What the hell was this thing? As Ning Cheng thought of this, he directly blasted it with a Spiritual Consciousness Explosion. Since it was taken out for the assessment, it shouldn't be so easily destroyed by his Spiritual Consciousness Explosion, right?
The Spiritual Consciousness Explosion swept up Ning Cheng's Dao Charm Aura and directly rushed into the centre of the pale yellow crystal.
A series of shrill cries arrived, causing Ning Cheng to subconsciously shudder. This shrill scream was just too creepy, as if someone was refining a person ….
Refining? A picture suddenly flashed in Ning Cheng's mind. This pale yellow crystal was not a natural artefact-crafting material, but an Essence Spirit. A peerless powerhouse had refined a person alive and finally condensed their Essence Spirit into a crystal.
What a vicious fellow. Ning Cheng sucked in a breath of cold air. He felt even more sure that his guess was not wrong. Seeing the time for half an incense stick gradually disappear, Ning Cheng did not think too much about it. His first purpose in coming here was to enter the Radiance Treasury. As for investigating who did it, he did not have the ability, nor did it have any meaning.
Because this pale yellow crystal was refined and condensed from an Essence Spirit, he decided to call it a Soul Crystal for now. Ning Cheng used his fastest speed to inscribe some of the things he guessed into the jade talismans, and then sent the jade talismans into the round hole above the jade box, which had already begun to close.
