Do not die

When everyone, including Li Wenchang, was still stunned, Meng Zhou twirled his fingers with his right hand and flicked it, and the nine pills he had just made flew into the crowd.

Even the six elixirs refined by Li Wenchang and now rolling all over the ground flew up from the ground and fell into the hands of six people.

Li Wenchang himself was "fortunate" to receive special care from Meng Zhou. In his left hand was an elixir that he refined by himself, and in his right hand was an elixir that was transformed from the material in the blink of an eye.

"Everyone, let's take a closer look and evaluate the pros and cons."

With the two pills in hand, Li Wenchang's heart, which was suddenly blown to pieces, managed to regain some sanity with difficulty.

He didn't even consider the quality of the two pills in his hand. Instead, he slowly raised his head to look at the old man who was so close and still couldn't see through the other person's cultivation, and asked carefully:

"Senior, are you a fourth-level alchemist?"

He spoke softly, looked up, and was in awe, as if he was afraid of accidentally offending the other person.

Meng Zhou shook his head: "No, my understanding of alchemy is still at the third level."

Li Wenchang heard this and murmured: "Is this the level that the third level can achieve?"

Meng Zhou nodded.

Li Wenchang's eyes suddenly burst into bright light, burning fiercely and hungry.

But soon, he woke up and felt sad and bitter.

Meng Zhou asked: "Want to learn?"

Li Wenchang's eyes lit up again and he nodded quickly.

"I can teach you." Meng Zhou said.

His expression was relaxed and his tone was casual, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

"ah?!!"

When Li Wenchang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes revealed an incredible light.

"You...are you willing to teach me?"

Meng Zhou nodded, "I can teach you, but whether you can learn it or not depends on your own luck."

Just hearing a "pop", Li Wenchang's knees softened, he knelt straight on the ground, and then knocked heavily on the floor.

His throat was rising and falling, and "Master" was about to burst out of his throat.

But Meng Zhou seemed to predict his behavior in advance. A tough but irresistible invisible force tightly bound him, making him not only unable to knock down, but also unable to cry out. He was firmly controlled. There.

"No need to kowtow, I am not your master either."

Meng Zhou didn't want to have an extra disciple for no reason, even if the disciple was hired unilaterally, that wouldn't work.

"Then you..." Li Wenchang's expression suddenly became anxious and worried.

The most unbearable thing for people is not pure hopelessness, but the hopelessness after seeing hope.

If Meng Zhou hadn't said "You can also learn", he wouldn't have dared to hope.

After all, according to the normal thinking in the spiritual world, who would teach others such miraculous skills, referred to as "magic skills"?

But Meng Zhou had already said it clearly, allowing him to see this possibility and develop a rich imagination about this possibility.

Now that he was being hung up and down like this, how could he not feel as uncomfortable as claws scratching his heart?

Meng Zhou comforted him: "Don't worry...let's deal with the matter at hand first, and then talk about other things."

As he said that, as his thoughts changed, the invisible force restraining Li Wenchang made him stand up again from his kneeling position.

"What do you think of our discussion?"

Being "seduced" by Meng Zhou's words just now, he had already forgotten about the discussion.

At this time, after Meng Zhou reminded him, he came to his senses again. Looking at the two pills still in his hands, Li Wenchang smiled bitterly and said:

"Senior, please stop joking. With the gap between us, is there any comparability?

Comparing me and you, I can't even humiliate myself! "

Meng Zhou nodded and asked, "So, do you approve of me now?"

Li Wenchang nodded hurriedly: "I agree, not only do I agree, but all the alchemist branches agree!"

Meng Zhou nodded, then "threw" Li Wenchang aside, and turned to look at another third-level professional in the crowd.

It was a huge man with a huge build.

"Are you the president of the weapon refiner branch, Jiao Hong?"

The giant man nodded, "I am Jiao Hong, do you want to compete with me, senior?"

Meng Zhou raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Oh, why do you think so?"

The giant man said:

“The way of alchemy and weaponry, to the end, is the same.

Given the senior's attainments in alchemy, I don't believe that senior would put aside the art of weapon refining. "

Meng Zhou nodded and said with a smile: "Rumors say you are straightforward, haha... Yes, I just want to discuss the art of weapon refining with you."

Hearing this, Jiao Hong was silent for a moment, and then walked out of the crowd. He first bowed respectfully to Meng Zhou, and then said:

"With your methods, senior, I should have had the sense to admit defeat directly.

But I really want to see my senior in refining weapons, and I ask you to forgive me for being so reckless and disrespectful. "

Meng Zhou nodded first, then shook his head: "What's so forgivable about this."

As he said this, he thought for a moment and asked, "As far as I know, you follow the path of tempering, right?"

Jiao Hong nodded, "Yes."

The so-called "tempering" and "furnace refining" are two ways of refining weapons. The main tool of the former is a forging hammer, and the main tool of the latter is a refining furnace.

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, each has its strengths and weaknesses.

It does not mean that those who follow the "forging way" insist on using hammers and do not touch the forging furnace, and those who follow the "furnace way" do not even touch the forging hammer——

The weapon refiner is not so stubborn.

It's just that a person's energy is limited, so he puts more emphasis on allocation and makes different choices.

For example, Jiao Hong is also good at "furnace tempering", but in comparison, he is better at "tempering".

"Then what are you best at refining?" Meng Zhou asked.

"Hammer." Jiao Hong said.

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Then let's each practice a hammer."

As he spoke, he asked: "Do you have suitable materials? If so, use yours. If not, 'Ge Ping' has some preparations."

Jiao Hong nodded immediately and said: "I have it, I have it."

He is the president of the Weapon Refiner Branch. If he cannot get even two materials for sparring, it will not only be his face, but also the face of the entire Weapon Master Branch.

He immediately took out two huge black rocks, which were extremely hard in texture and extremely smooth in surface.

"These are two third-grade low-grade black steel stones. Not only are they huge, but they are also naturally compatible with the earth. They are excellent materials for refining giant hammer magic weapons." Jiao Hong introduced.

Meng Zhou nodded in approval and said, "Yes, let's use this black steel stone."

Jiao Hong was immediately happy, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he looked directly at Meng Zhou with his eyes.

Meng Zhou was surprised and said, "What, you want to watch me practice first?"

Jiao Hong nodded unabashedly and said, "Yes, I want to see you finish practicing before practicing."

When Meng Zhou heard this, he couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, "Slippery."

However, he did not refuse.

He randomly selected one of the two black steel stones of similar size, but just when he was about to do it according to the normal method, something suddenly moved in his heart.

After completely "settling" Li Wenchang, what follows is actually a game that becomes increasingly simpler.

Of course he can continue playing one by one, and gain "recognition" time and time again through crushing victories.

But he thought there was no point in doing so.

So, Meng Zhou slowly stopped his raised hand in the air, dismissed the original thoughts in his mind, and began to fiddle with his fingers in the air seemingly casually.

At this moment, he has already become the focus of the crowd.

The first time he acted like this, many people didn't understand what he meant.

But soon, everyone looked shocked.

I saw that as Meng Zhou's hands and ten fingers were playing rapidly in the void as if playing a pipa, spiritual runes formed with rich spiritual energy flew out from his fingertips one by one, flew through the void, stuck to the surface of the black steel stone, and then disappeared quietly. The sound blends into it.

Among the shocked crowd, the president of the Talisman Maker Branch was the most exaggerated.

He stared unblinkingly at the entire process from when the spiritual runes were formed between the fingers of Meng Zhou's hands, to when they melted into the black steel stone, and when they crossed the void, he did not miss anything. Note it down.

Not only is he using his eyes and brain to record, but he is also recording with a photographic stone.

He watched those spiritual runes fly through the void, watching them perform all kinds of extremely subtle operations in order to fit and integrate into the spiritual materials more perfectly.

Watch them twist and deform, watch them zoom in and out, watch them collide and merge with each other, watch them hide or appear...

All kinds of mysteries made him fascinated.

Not only him, the president of the Array Master branch was also immersed in an unprecedented spiritual shock.

He didn't notice it at first, but as more and more spiritual runes were submerged into the black steel stone, as a third-level array mage's peculiarly sensitive intuition about space, he suddenly realized that every time the spiritual runes Every placement is full of charm.

Soon, he came back to his senses.

This is clearly using spiritual runes as "materials", and then using the array master's thinking to drive these spiritual runes into the black steel stone.

This senior is using a very novel formation method.

He thought so.

But the president of the Talisman Maker Branch thought that this senior was using a very new way of making Talisman.

From the perspective of Jiao Hong, the nominal object of discussion, this senior created a brand new weapon refining school - "Fu Lian" after "furnace refining" and "tempering".

From the perspective of his weapon refiner, the spiritual runes that kept coming up were like a special flame.

As it continues to sink into the material, the existing spirituality in the graphite stone is mobilized and purified, and at the same time, the shape of the graphite stone itself is reshaped.

Similarly, these spiritual runes are like a forging hammer with endless power. Every time it lands, it seems random, but it is just right. It happens to land on the most "sensitive" and easiest to "shape" the spiritual material at that time. parts.

It was clearly a dead object, but under his rhythm, it almost made the black steel stone "alive" on its own.

And in the process of "coming to life", it completed its self-evolution.

Under the greedy gaze of these pairs of eyes, Meng Zhou had stopped, his hands had been put away, and no new spiritual runes were flying out from his fingertips.

In front of everyone's eyes, a huge hammer as black as ink was suspended in the air.

Without any support, it floated in the air naturally.

On the surface of the hammer body, the surging earth force is directly connected with the earth beneath its feet.

The surging earth force rises and falls within it like a tide. As the earth force rises and falls, it fluctuates between "extremely heavy" and "extremely light".

When it is heavy, it can be compared to the top of a mountain, and when it is light, it is like feathers.

Among the crowd, sighs of regret or wonder were heard one after another.

Meng Zhou looked around and picked out two people from the crowd.

These two people were Xu Ze, the president of the Talisman Maker Branch, and Luo Xu, the president of the Formation Master Branch.

"You seem to be sorry?" Meng Zhou asked curiously.

The two nodded unabashedly and admitted, "We regret that the quality of the materials Jiao Hong brought out was too poor. After a short time, it reached the limit of endurance. It was really..."

At this point, the two people's faces were full of regret.

They even cast a complaining look at Jiao Hong, as if to say, you, the president of the powerful weapon refiner branch, can't you come up with better materials?

Meng Zhou nodded, as long as he didn't have any objections to me.

He temporarily abandoned the two of them and turned to look at Jiao Hong: "It's your turn."

Jiao Hong raised his head and looked at the huge black hammer floating in the air, rising and falling, and then looked at Meng Zhou who was looking at him seriously. He silently put away the other black steel stone.

Meng Zhou was surprised: "Why did you put the materials away?"

Jiao Hong knelt on the ground with a pop and said sincerely:

“Senior, I support you as the president of the association.

No one deserves to sit in this position except you! "

Meng Zhou quickly helped him up, "So, you agree?"

"I agree, I totally agree!" Jiao Hong said.

"Well, so your attitude is clear?"

Jiao Hong nodded hurriedly.

Meng Zhou looked at Xu Ze, the president of the Talisman Maker Branch, and opened his mouth to speak, but Xu Ze was one step ahead of him and said:

"I also support my senior as the president of the association."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and his tone became heavier and more sincere:

"No one has this qualification except you!"

Luo Xu, the president of the formation master branch standing next to him, didn't need Meng Zhou to ask, and nodded immediately:

"That's my opinion too."

As he said this, as if to show that he was not just a mindless follower of the trend, "Me too," he made an original suggestion:

"Senior, since I became a professional, I have never seen a professional who is as stunningly talented and versatile as you.

If you can't serve as the president of the association, I really doubt the existence of this association. "

"So, you don't need to ask who approves it now. You should ask who doesn't approve it!"

Some people in the crowd couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Shameless."

But Meng Zhou thought about it seriously, turned to look at the others, and asked, "Does any of you disagree?"

There was silence.

Deathly silence.

But soon, under Meng Zhou's gaze, the atmosphere quickly became active again.

Li Wenchang, Jiao Hong, Xu Ze, and Luo Xu took the lead, followed closely by the others, who bowed one after another.

"President!"

After a while, everyone gathered around Meng Zhou, creating a warm atmosphere like family members.

Li Wenchang even asked directly: "I wonder what the president is called?"

"Qihuangzi." (End of chapter)
