The Scarlet Sun Sect's Weapon Hall's competition this year was a little strange. None of the people from Second Senior Brother Qi Haosi's faction signed up for it. This time, Wan Rui, who was under Eldest Senior Brother Pei Ming, stood out among the Early Stage Foundation Establishment Stage blacksmiths. In the Weapon Hall's competition, he looked down on everyone.
Normally, Huang Ziang could fight against Wanrui as an equal, but this year, he was dozing off behind a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Those inner sect disciples were all whispering to each other. This year, as the deacon of the Tool Hall, Huang Ziang actually had nearly ten kilograms of Star Iron, eighty kilograms of Copper Iron Essence, and eight taels of Gold Crystal. That didn't match.
Pei Ming, the manager of the Weapon Hall, was furious because of this. It was Qi Haosi, the second senior brother, who persuaded him, saying that he knew about this matter and that it had nothing to do with Huang Ziang.
In short, Pei Ming had nowhere to vent his anger. In the end, he removed Huang Ziang's qualification for the competition. He even demanded Qi Haosi to give a definite explanation after the end of the year in front of everyone in the Weapon Hall. Otherwise, he would get to the bottom of this even if he had to quarrel with the head of the Weapon Hall.
However, Qi Haosi just casually said, "I know," and then closed his eyes to rest. He didn't take this matter to heart at all. Even during the competition, he was absent-minded. The disciples below saw that Manager Qi wasn't in the right state at all.
Today, Wan Rui was refining a beginner level four spirit sword. Because the Weapon Hall didn't take out enough materials this time, everyone used their own materials during the competition.
To be honest, the things Wan Rui refined weren't bad. At least when Huang Ziang looked at his spirit sword, he found that it wasn't much worse than his. However, it couldn't be compared to that person.
More than a month ago, after Yi Tian brought Guan Mingyi and Tang Lin back to the sect from Fenghua City, he directly sent a message to Huang Ziang. Then, he needed to mobilize a large amount of materials. Although Huang Ziang was the warehouse manager, his power was limited. On the other hand, Yi Tian took out his Successor Disciple Jade Token and directly opened the warehouse. Then, he went in and took out two storage bags.
At that time, they were in a hurry, so they didn't go through the normal process. When Huang Ziang went in to count again, he was so scared that his legs went soft. It was normal to take a little, but Yi Tian directly took more than ten kilograms.
After that, Huang Ziang hurriedly reported the situation to Qi Haosi. He didn't expect Qi Haosi to directly say, "He is helping someone refine a level five natal magic treasure. If anything happens, just bear the responsibility first. When he comes out, just blame it on him." He even patted Huang Ziang's back with a smile and said, "It's a small matter, a small matter. If you don't have the materials for this year's Weapon Hall's exchange, then don't go. Let Pei Ming and the others work blindly."
The refining rooms in the Artifact Hall of Chiyang School also had their own specifications. For example, Pei Ming and Qi Haosi could only use Earth Room No. 2 and Earth Room No. 3. The Earth Room No. 1 could only be used by true disciples, and it had been empty for decades.
So everyone forgot about it. The entire corridor leading to the Earth Room No. 1 was covered in dust. But even so, when the Earth Room No. 1 lit up, it couldn't be seen from the outside. The only thing was that there was a cultivator in Iron Sword Gate's clothes meditating at the door. Moreover, he hadn't moved for almost a month. Tang Lin, who was standing next to him, came over from time to time to check. Who knew when Yi Tian would finish refining.
This time, Guan Mingyi also handed over half of his wealth. It was about 150,000 spirit stones and about 50,000 materials. These things had been handed over to Qi Haosi through Tang Lin. Qi Haosi, who was seated in the Artefact Hall's main hall, was overjoyed. He had managed to recoup all his investment before he could even complete the refinement process. Even Yi Tian had only taken out around 100,000 spirit stones worth of materials. Thinking about it, heir disciples from Iron Sword Sect were simply too wealthy.
Now, Qi Haosi only hoped that Yi Tian could finish as soon as possible. There would be a good show after he finished. The performance of the Foundation Establishment Realm junior brothers in front of him was really not satisfactory, especially that Wan Rui. He was as fancy as he could be. He was a complete copy of He Xinsheng. Pei Ming's standard of judging people was too low.
The cheers in the hall pulled Qi Haosi back to reality. The people on Pei Ming's side kept jeering. Wan Rui had already handed over the refined spirit sword, while Pei Ming pretended to comment on it, occasionally exclaiming, "Wan Rui, the younger generation will surpass us in time. I didn't even have such a level when I was in the early stage of Zhuji Realm." Then he handed the spirit sword to Qi Haosi and asked directly, "Junior Brother Qi, what do you think?"
Qi Haosi also pretended to be careless. After looking at it, he said, "Not bad."
Pei Ming's face didn't show any joy or anger. He just curled his lips and announced, "The first place of this year's inner disciple competition is Wan Rui." The crowd below surged. Everyone was whispering to each other. Some disciples even went up to congratulate Wan Rui.
After taking a look, Pei Ming said to Qi Haosi, "Junior Brother Qi, Wan Rui has taken first place in the past few years, and Huang Ziang caused such a huge mess in the Equipment Hall's warehouse last year. I think we should replace him in the next few years and let Wan Rui supervise the material warehouse." Without waiting for Qi Haosi's response, Pei Ming was about to make an announcement in the hall.
Qi Haosi, who was at the side, suddenly said, "Senior Brother Pei, the appointment of the warehouse deacon is usually decided by the head. If the head is not here, he has to listen to the opinion of the Artifact Hall's true disciple. Why don't we wait?"
Pei Ming didn't know what Qi Haosi was implying. He asked with a proud face, "The head has been in seclusion for many years and doesn't care about worldly affairs. The true disciple, Yi Tian, hasn't appeared for nearly 30 years. Junior Brother Qi, don't delay." Then he asked Wan Rui to go forward and pass on the appointment.
Wan Rui was now happily accepting the congratulations of his fellow disciples. He stood up and walked forward. He even said, "I don't deserve it." Standing in the middle of the hall, he didn't forget to look back at Huang Ziang who was hiding at the back. The latter just smiled strangely at him and didn't say anything. He continued to doze off.
Wan Rui instinctively felt that the situation was not good, but he couldn't say anything. Seeing that Pei Ming was in power, even Qi Haosi could only delay the time. Wan Rui couldn't help but feel relieved. Gold would always shine no matter where it was placed. Although he built his foundation a year later than Huang Ziang, he was still at the age of 30. Moreover, under the care of his senior brother Pei Ming, he had the momentum to catch up.
Qi Haosi looked at Pei Ming and Wan Rui from the side and found it funny. Third Junior Brother Ning Yuxuan only succeeded in building his foundation for the second time, so he had been in seclusion for so many years. He would only come out when he reached the middle stage of the foundation.
As for that unreliable Yi Tian, he finally showed up after more than 20 years. According to his message, it seemed that his master had asked him to do an important thing. After he came back, he was basically asked to fade out of the sect's sight. Now, after the ban was lifted, he was still restless and directly took on the task of collecting a level five spiritual weapon. Even Qi Haosi and Pei Ming couldn't do this. Qi Haosi wanted to see how he was going to complete this task.
Pei Ming, who was standing in the hall, first praised Wan Rui. Then, he announced in public, "This year, the warehouse manager of the Weapon Hall will be …" Before he finished speaking, the sky outside suddenly turned dark. The entire hall suddenly became like night time. The sparring in the Weapon Hall was arranged to be held at noon. Usually, there wouldn't be any sudden changes in the weather at this time, unless someone was going through a tribulation. Pei Ming scratched his head and thought, 'Basically, all the registered disciples in the Weapon Hall are here. Ning Yuxuan has already read the Foundation Establishment tribulation. This shouldn't be.'
Seeing that the people below suddenly became restless, Qi Haosi, who was at the side, stood up and acted like the general manager of the Weapon Hall. He said loudly, "Silence! What's with the noise? Someone come and light the lamp. Follow me out to take a look. Don't panic."
Not long after, a registered disciple came forward to light the oil lamp on the wall. After Qi Haosi gave Huang Ziang a look, he strode toward the weapon refining room in the Weapon Hall. Huang Ziang immediately stood up and called a few of his Senior and Junior Brothers to follow him. Pei Ming didn't know what Qi Haosi was up to. Seeing that there was a strange phenomenon in the sky and that it was in the backyard of the Weapon Hall, he could only put down what he was doing and call the disciples to follow him to take a look.
When everyone in the Weapon Hall arrived at the weapon refining room, they saw Tang Lin standing there and looking up at the sky. Everyone followed suit and looked up. They saw a disciple wearing the Iron Sword Gate uniform holding a sword standing there. The tribulation clouds in the sky slowly formed, and the thunder tribulation was accumulating power.
Suddenly, someone shouted that it wasn't a foundation building tribulation, but a spirit tool tribulation. The people next to him also whispered that this head disciple hadn't come out for many years because he was refining a level 5 spirit tool for others.
Even Pei Ming and Wan Rui looked at the spirit tool tribulation in the sky with envy. This was something that all the refiners below dreamed of. It also represented the identity and status of a refiner.
On the other hand, Qi Haosi and Huang Ziang were pleasantly surprised. Yi Tian had finally succeeded. As long as he passed the Spirit Artifact Tribulation, Yi Tian would be the number two person in the Artifact Hall.
The tribulation clouds in the sky condensed for a moment before directly striking down. Everyone only saw the white lightning strike the sword in the Iron Sword Gate disciple's hand.
Guan Mingyi, who was in the sky, also didn't have a good time. He didn't expect the tribulation lightning to be so strong, almost as strong as the Jin Dan tribulation. However, this was even better. As long as he passed the Jin Dan tribulation, this life treasure would be even more useful. Seeing the lightning strike the saber, Guan Mingyi endured the numbness from the lightning and bit the tip of his tongue. He spat out a mouthful of blood and poured spirit energy into the saber. After the spirit energy and blood poured into the saber, the saber flashed with a golden light and received the rest of the lightning. Then, he tempered the saber in the lightning.
After a burst of tribulation lightning, Guan Mingyi slowly flew down. He looked at the sword in his hand and saw white lightning flashing on it from time to time. After the spirit crystal completely merged with the sword, there were faint lightning dragons on both sides of the sword, accompanied by the roars of dragons. This spirit tool had completely advanced to level 5. After absorbing the blood from Guan Mingyi's tongue, there was no need for him to drip blood on it to recognize it as his master. He held the sword with his right hand and pointed with his left hand. After a flash of lightning, the sword slowly shrank and went into Guan Mingyi's dantian.
This time, Qi Haosi hurriedly went up to congratulate him. "Senior Brother Guan, congratulations on obtaining this treasure. There is hope for the Jin Dan in the future." The surrounding people looked at the two of them in surprise. Pei Ming also felt that things were not good. His master was biased toward Qi Haosi after all. He did not even tell him about such an important matter. He immediately went forward to congratulate him.
Unexpectedly, Guan Mingyi said with disdain, "Tell Yi Tian that brat, don't take it for granted. I'll see how he will deal with it later. Hmph!"
Qi Haosi, who was standing on the side, had a headache when he heard this. What was Yi Tian doing? Didn't he already finish refining it? The tribulation clouds in the sky had turned fiery red. All the blacksmiths knew that the lightning tribulation also changed according to the spirit tool's attribute. The sword just now was obviously of the lightning attribute, but didn't the red tribulation clouds indicate that a level 5 spirit tool with the fire attribute was about to become a reality?
Before they could react, the door to the No. 1 Earth refining room opened again. Yi Tian rushed out wearing a dirty linen robe and holding a fiery red round shield that was one foot in size. When he saw everyone, he just said, "Everyone is here. Stay away. I'll be down in a while." After saying that, he rode the flying wheel and flew into the sky.
This time, when the red lightning tribulation struck, Yi Tian just held the shield above his head with both hands and poured all the spirit qi in his hands into it. The shield instantly doubled in size and withstood the lightning strike.
After all, Yi Tian was still a little weaker than Guan Mingyi in terms of cultivation. After being hit by the red lightning, Yi Tian slowly flew down from the sky. After landing, he said to Guan Mingyi, "See, it's not much worse than you."
Guan Mingyi also snorted and said with a smile, "You're just stubborn."
