Fengwu Qinshang

Chapter 169: Refining Equipment and Hiding the Edge

As the time came, Qin Feng raised the black dagger in his hand and said softly:

"Master, my disciple Qin Feng has completed his work. Please take a look!"

A teacher came over and took the dagger from Qin Feng's hand on a plate and presented it to the nine teachers for them to see.

On the six trays in front of the nine masters lay six spiritual weapons, some big, some small, and in various shapes!

The nine masters placed their hands on the table, and their spiritual thoughts were transmitted through the table into the tray and into Lingwu to inspect the forging accuracy of Lingwu and the condition of the weapon spirit.

This is the rule. Any spiritual weapon cannot be touched without the consent of its creator, because the first contact between the divine consciousness and the spiritual weapon directly determines the spiritual weapon's sense of belonging to its owner in the future.

The nine masters made the appraisal together. Fan Yuqing's face gradually showed joy, while Xu Gun looked confused.

More than 200 students and other teachers present were eagerly waiting. This was the most tense moment, because the first place winner of this forging competition would appear in the next second.

As everyone waited, the nine masters withdrew their hands one after another, and Fan Yuqing said with a smile:

"Everyone can raise their signs now!"

The teachers in their seats raised the signs in their hands with the numbers of the corresponding trays on them!

A statistician looked at the sign and started to sing the number:

"Number one, zero votes, number two, zero votes, number three, five votes, number four, zero votes, number five, zero votes, number six, four votes!"

"Because one of the teachers is absent, I hereby announce number three!"

"and many more!"

Just as the vote-counter was about to make an announcement, a voice came in. It was Lu Yue who had been out for a long time.

After Lu Yue entered the door, he moved to the side and several people came in from behind him.

When all the teachers present saw these people coming in, they immediately stood up and bowed deeply, singing:

"Meet the old master!"

The person who came was none other than the old man Nei Shi Tianyuan.

The old man smiled and nodded:

"Oh my, it's so lively here!"

When he saw the spiritual weapons in the six trays on the table, he took two steps forward:

"Oh! The competition is over. Haha, I wonder which one will come out on top?"

Fan Yuqing hurriedly apologized with a smile:

"Ah Master, number three has the most votes, so it should be first!"

The old man looked at them one by one and nodded:

"Yeah, they all look pretty good. These kids are going to be great!"

After the old man finished speaking, he waved his finger lightly, and six tiny wind shadows fell into the tray, lifted up Liu Binglingwu one by one, and slowly rotated in the air for display.

With just this one move, all the teachers were amazed.

They could not feel any breeze at all. Only the almost invisible thin layer of green gas below the spiritual weapons supported these spiritual weapons, some heavy and some light. Such a subtle control technique was something that everyone present believed they could not achieve!

"Hey! Who made this spiritual weapon? Why is it so soft?"

Qin Feng took a step forward:

"Master, this is the student's work!"

The old man looked at Qin Feng:

"Oh! Qin Feng. Look at them, they are full of energy, why do you look like you haven't eaten enough?"

Without waiting for Qin Feng to answer, Fan Yuqing said with a smile:

"Master, please be wise. Qin Feng's soft sword has not made any movement since it was completed. Just now, I used my divine sense to detect it, but I could not sense any spirit in it. In my humble opinion, this black soft sword should be a waste!"

The old man smiled and looked at the other teachers and asked:

"Do you think so?"

A teacher nearby responded:

"To answer Master, it is indeed so!"

The old man looked at Xu Gun:

"What do you say?"

Xu Gun hurriedly saluted:

"This! This! Uh! That's right!"

Seeing Xu Gun agree, Fan Yuqing was secretly happy.

The old man turned and looked at Qin Feng:

"Qin Feng, are they right?"

Qin Feng smiled:

"To answer Master, what they said is - wrong!"

Fan Yuqing laughed after hearing this:

"Qin Feng, if you lose, you lose. It's not shameful for a student to fail once, but if you try to make excuses, then!"

Before Fan Yuqing could finish, Qin Feng interrupted:

"Doesn't the dean know the principle of refining weapons to hide their edge?"

As soon as the four words "Refine the weapon and hide the edge" came out, everyone present exclaimed!

All the people present were of the fire attribute, and those who could come here to watch the battle were almost all practitioners of forging, and they were almost all familiar with these four words. However, for them, these four words might be a realm that they could never reach!

"Oh! Refining weapons to hide the edge?"

Dao Chen behind the old man said in surprise, he must not understand the true meaning of these four words.

Fan Yuqing laughed:

"Haha! The so-called refining weapon and hiding its edge actually refers to a state of mind. This state of mind has almost nothing to do with cultivation and the level of refining weapon. To put it bluntly, even a first-level spiritual weapon can achieve the state of refining weapon and hiding its edge. However, this state of mind is too extraordinary, and those who can reach this state can be called divine skills. Refining weapon and hiding its edge is actually a manifestation of the unity of man and weapon. It is an ultimate divine skill, nothing else!"

Having said this, he looked at Qin Feng:

"You inherited the legacy from Qie Aotian, but you know that Qie Aotian has never achieved such an achievement in his life. Just you? A rookie who is so arrogant, don't you care about your dignity?"

The old master, Neishi Tianyuan, was also a little nervous. How dare this junior brother speak so arrogantly? However, he also understood Qin Feng's character and thought he would not speak without a purpose:

"Qin Feng, you are making such wild claims, do you have any evidence?"

Qin Feng bowed and said:

"I made this sword specifically for my little follower. Master Xu Gun, please bring my little follower here. We will know the answer after we drip blood and acknowledge him as our master!"

"which one?"

"Qin!"

What a good show! Everyone present was in high spirits, waiting for the show to begin. But up to now, no one believed that Qin Feng could do such a magical skill! Even Neishi Tianyuan was worried!

In a hurry, within half an incense stick of time, Xu Gun rushed in carrying a child on his back. After the child landed, he bowed deeply to Qin Feng and said:

"Homeowner!"

"Ok!"

Qin Feng agreed and said loudly:

"This boy is fifteen years old this year, and has not yet started practicing. Everyone present can test him!"

Fan Yuqing came over with a smile:

"Give me your hand, little boy!"

Qin looked at Qin Feng, and Qin Feng nodded!

Grabbing Qin's wrist, Fan Yuqing carefully examined it. After a few breaths, Fan Yuqing let go of Qin's hand and said in surprise:

"This boy has indeed never practiced cultivation, but his bloodline level and sea of ​​qi and blood!!"

The old man drank:

"Shut up, how can you act like a scholar?"

Fan Yuqing then realized that he had said something wrong and quickly bowed and left!

The old man was really angry. He lowered his voice and said coldly:

"Master Fan, some things are best kept to yourself. If any rumors spread, I don't think there's any need for your Fan family to stay!"

This kind of thing is a private matter for monks. Fan Yuqing knew that he was being reckless. When he heard the old man's words, he was so scared that he almost knelt down. He bowed deeply:

"Master, please forgive me. Master, please forgive me. I will never dare to mention it again!"

Fan Yuqing was telling the truth. The man in front of him was the most powerful being on the continent. Moreover, when he was young, he was also a hot-tempered tinderbox. He would fight at the slightest disagreement. He was a well-known old rooster who was very aggressive! In the rare beast tide incident that happened once in a thousand years, this old man was drenched in blood and made a great name for himself!

The most important thing is that this old man hasn't been angry for hundreds of years. What happened today? This is what scares Fan Yuqing the most!

While the others were all bewildered, the people behind the old man were relieved and secretly laughing!

The old master, Neishi Tianyuan, turned his head and coughed, his expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright. He reached out and touched Qin's head and said with a smile:

"Ahem! Oh! The boy looks so pitiful! Qin Feng, let's start!"
