At the top of Drunken Immortal Cliff, a dozen or so Jin Dan cultivators stood to the side, watching the two blacksmiths test their spirit weapons with great interest.
On one side was a mid-tier level-five puppet refined by the number one blacksmith in the Western Wasteland Jin Dan Realm, who had been famous for a hundred years. On the other side was the number one blacksmith in the inner sect, Xing Lin, who held a carefully refined spirit sword. The two sides stood more than ten feet apart. The one standing in the middle was the judge, Huo Jingyun.
He said in a deep voice, "The quality of the spirit weapon in this competition has nothing to do with the cultivation of the person controlling it. Do you want to control it personally or find someone else to replace you?"
Xing Lin rushed to say, "Of course I'll do such a small thing. Senior Brother, thank you for your trouble."
Yi Tian also smiled and said, "Junior Brother, you're quite knowledgeable about the things you've refined. It's better for you to control it personally."
"Since you're all sure, then get into position. The puppet took a hit from the spirit sword. Don't go back on your word." Huo Jingyun retreated to the side and closed his eyes to rest.
Xing Lin formed a seal in front of his chest and poured spirit power into the spirit sword with both hands. The sword hummed under the stimulation of spirit power. Yi Tian used his eye technique from afar to carefully examine the spirit sword flashing with blue light. It seemed to be a high-tier level-five spirit weapon. This could be considered Xing Lin's masterpiece in the past few years. Unfortunately, he encountered his own puppet.
With a whoosh, the flying sword wrapped in white spirit light pierced the puppet's head. Half a breath later, the puppet's head was fiercely hit, and its entire body fell backward.
Xing Lin stood there and withdrew the spirit sword. He looked at his opponent smugly, but Yi Tian just smiled disdainfully and pointed. After activating the puppet with spirit power, it did a backflip and pushed off the ground with both hands. Its entire body drew an arc in the air before standing up straight again.
Everyone looked carefully. The puppet's face seemed to have been split open by the spirit sword, but its skeleton was still intact. It seemed that the flying sword didn't cause any substantial damage to it.
This time, Xing Lin couldn't sit still. He directly controlled the flying sword to attack the puppet again.
He looked at the reactions of the people around him, especially Huo Jingyun, who didn't stop him. It seemed that everyone wanted to see the limit of the puppet's defense.
Yi Tian shook his head. Next, he began controlling the puppet to display various agile dodging movements. Seeing that, everyone's understanding of the puppet was shattered. They had assumed that it was a humanoid puppet that could only endure the attacks. Unexpectedly, it could perform movements similar to that of a cultivator. There was nothing to be said about its level of agility.
After a round of testing, the two of them were unable to do anything to each other. Xing Yuan's face turned red when he saw this. He had originally said that he would only attack once, but now, after dozens of attacks, the puppet still hadn't fallen to the ground.
Then, he stepped forward, grabbed Xing Lin, and scolded his assistant. Then he turned to Yi Tian and said, "The humanoid puppet used to test Junior Martial Brother Yi is indeed powerful. Why don't the two of you stop fighting?"
"Senior apprentice-brother Xing, you flatter me. Let's consider it a draw this time," Yi Tian replied.
Since both sides were willing to take a step back, Huo Jingyun, the referee, also said, "Then let's call it a draw."
However, those with discerning eyes could see that the level of the spirit sword was clearly higher. Wouldn't they lose if they called a draw? However, no one dared to say it out loud.
Huo Jingyun turned to Yi Tian and said, "I wonder if Junior Martial Brother Yi can tell us if this humanoid puppet can withstand the attack of a level-6 spirit weapon?"
After being asked such a sudden question, Yi Tian pondered for a moment and said, "I have not considered this matter before, but please allow me to try, Senior Martial Brother."
After saying that, he took out a bag of parts and began to assemble it, ignoring the gazes of the cultivators present. The surrounding people also watched with interest. Although they didn't know what Yi Tian wanted to do, the bag of parts didn't seem simple.
After Yi Tian assembled the crossbow and injected his spirit qi into it to activate it, the spirit pressure coming from the crossbow was not inferior to Xing Lin's flying sword.
Huo Jingyun, who was standing nearby, seemed to feel a threatening aura emanating from the crossbow. It had to be known that a cultivator at the peak of the Jindan Realm like him was far more sensitive to this kind of feeling than everyone present.
Since he felt this way, it meant that this crossbow could indeed cause him harm. Perhaps it could also cause some damage to Yuanying cultivators.
However, Yi Tian, who was standing in front of him, didn't care about this at all. He picked up the crossbow and injected his spirit qi into it. After pulling the crossbow with his left hand, he directly loaded three crossbow bolts.
After standing still, he shouted, "Senior Martial Brother Huo, please control my puppet. I will try to fire three arrows to see how high its defensive power can reach."
Huo Jingyun nodded, then jumped to a spot not far from the puppet. He stretched out his hand and injected his spirit qi into it, then began to control it.
In the distance, Yi Tian pulled the crossbow with his right hand and loaded the three crossbow bolts onto it. Then, he injected his spirit qi into it. After a burst of spirit qi fluctuations, the three crossbow bolts shot straight towards the puppet from the top, middle, and bottom.
After three "ka ka ka" sounds, the crossbow bolts accurately hit the puppet. Two of the bolts directly pierced through the puppet's head and left shoulder. The one at the bottom was directly stuck in the puppet's thigh. It seemed to be stuck in the puppet's thigh.
The parts of the puppet that were hit were more or less damaged. Fortunately, they all avoided the core energy. As long as the parts were replaced, the puppet could continue to be used.
At this moment, the surrounding people stretched out their Divine Senses and scanned the puppet's body. However, most people focused their Divine Sense on the crossbow in Yi Tian's hand. This seemingly inconspicuous spirit weapon was actually comparable to an early stage level 6 spirit weapon. If one had such a spirit weapon in hand, it seemed that they would have a chance to escape from a high level cultivator.
Without waiting for the others to speak, Huo Jingyun stepped forward and said, "Junior Brother Yi is really skilled. I wonder what grade of spirit weapon the crossbow in your hand is? Can I take a look at it?"
Yi Tian smiled and thought to himself, "It's good to have a need." He then directly handed the crossbow to Huo Jingyun and said, "Senior Brother, take your time. I'm going to replace the parts of the puppet. "
After saying that, he ignored the gazes of the others and directly walked forward to carefully examine the puppet's damage. Then, he took out the corresponding parts that were damaged by the crossbow bolts and began to replace them.
A quarter of an hour later, an intact humanoid puppet stood up again, but just as Yi Tian was about to continue to exchange, Huo Jingyun said, "Junior Brother Yi, I think I like this crossbow very much. I'm not sure if you can part with it."
This sentence blocked the mouths of the others. Everyone could see that this crossbow was definitely a quasi-level 6 spirit weapon. However, since the initiator of the gathering had spoken, no one had the nerve to come forward and participate.
In any case, these things were going to be used to exchange for materials. Yi Tian nodded and said, "If Senior Brother likes it, then go ahead and exchange it. I only need Mystic Iron Essence Gold. It's just that the quantity is a bit large."
Fearing that Yi Tian would go back on his word, Huo Jingyun hurriedly said, "It's okay, I can still find some level 5 materials. Please don't worry, Junior Brother. Let me check how much stock I have."
