Avenue Stowaway

Elder Qing Fan walked up to the second servant and took the silver dagger in his hand.

At the foot of the mountain, the servants and the new disciples all looked at the silver-white dagger with envy in their eyes. The inner hall disciples on the mountain also looked at the silver-white dagger in Elder Qing Fan's hand with surprise in their eyes, and they couldn't believe that someone could refine such a good weapon.

Even the elders who had always had calm expressions became a little uneasy at this moment. They carefully observed the silver dagger, nodded slightly, and had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"This silver-white short sword can be said to be the best among the second-grade weapons. It is very well made." Elder Qing Fan started to praise them directly, which made Zhao Yong and the other 27 people a little uncomfortable. When Elder Qing Fan introduced their weapons before, he either narrated them calmly or criticized them directly. He had never praised any of them.

"The materials used for this silver-white dagger are Wulan Iron, Seven Water Soft Stone and Snake Ice. Among these three materials, Snake Ice is also a relatively precious material. However, Snake Ice is a cold thing. If it is not handled properly, it will have a great impact on the quality of the weapon. However, Su Yun, who refined this dagger, handled it very well. Not only did she integrate the Snake Ice into the dagger almost perfectly, but she also refined a layer of Snake Ice Armor on the surface of the dagger, which greatly improved the toughness of the dagger. The most rare thing is that the blade of this dagger is cut out from the Snake Ice Armor, and it is extremely sharp."

Listening to Elder Qing Fan's introduction, many people couldn't help but gasp. Snake Ice is a cold thing, and it is notoriously difficult to refine. But Su Yun not only perfectly integrated the Snake Ice into the dagger, but also refined a layer of Snake Ice Armor on the surface of the dagger. This weapon refining ability is terrifying. But this is not the end. What is even more shocking is that Su Yun actually sharpened the Snake Ice Armor.

The difficulty of sharpening the Snake Ice Blade is even higher than integrating the Snake Ice into the weapon.

"Su Yun." Elder Qing Fan shouted with a voice that shook the sky, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Yong and the others looked at the silver-white dagger with disbelief on their faces. Although some of them had refined second-grade weapons, compared with Su Yun's silver-white dagger, the weapons they refined were nothing.

"The materials used are not the most precious, but they are extremely difficult to refine. No wonder he can be the second place in this assessment, he deserves it." Someone among the 28 people standing in a row exclaimed.

However, the others who heard this were stunned, and then they all looked at the black dagger held in Changsheng's hand.

If the second place is so terrifying, how terrifying should the first place be? Could it be that the grade of that dark short sword has reached the terrifying first grade? The twenty-eight people who were about to become inner hall disciples had this thought at the same time, and then they all felt frustrated.

Although inner hall disciples can refine quasi-spiritual treasures, they cannot do so every time. Generally, the weapons and armor refined by inner hall disciples are only of the first grade. If the weapon refined by the first place in this assessment really reaches the first grade, doesn't it mean that the other party has the refining ability of an inner hall disciple before being promoted to the inner hall?

Such a huge contrast made Zhao Yong and the other 28 people feel blocked in their hearts. They stopped talking in low voices and suddenly became silent.

The elders sitting on the chairs were also curious and could not help but carefully observe the dagger in Changsheng's hand. After observing for a while, the elders frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Elder Qing Fan did not introduce the black dagger immediately as he did before. Instead, he glanced at the elders present. When he saw their puzzled looks, Elder Qing Fan suddenly laughed in his heart.

"You old guys have been pretending, but now you can't see the specialness of this black dagger." Elder Qing Fan was very proud.

If he had not taken the black dagger in his hand to examine it in the meeting hall, he would have mistakenly believed that the dagger was only of the third grade at most. After all, the materials used for this dagger were the most common, and it was also refined by an entry-level disciple with average refining skills. In fact, Elder Qing Fan was somewhat surprised that it could reach the third grade.

But after getting the dagger in his hand, Elder Qing Fan found that he had made a mistake. The grade of this dagger was not the third grade at all, but the higher second grade. Elder Qing Fan was interested in the person who made the second grade weapon by using ordinary materials.

However, before meeting the new disciple named Kong Fang, Elder Qing Fan obviously did not want to suffer the consequences alone, so he deliberately did not introduce the dark dagger, but stood aside and watched the wonderful expressions of the other elders.

Elder Qing Fan obviously holds the mentality that it is better to suffer defeat together than to suffer defeat alone.

Soon, the other elders noticed Elder Qing Fan's somewhat 'obscene' smile. They coughed dryly and their expressions instantly returned to their calm state. The speed at which they changed their expressions was definitely much faster than Li Sen.

"Pretend, keep pretending." Elder Qing Fan sneered in his heart. He walked up to Changsheng and picked up the dark short sword in Changsheng's hand.

Watching the dagger leave his hand, Changsheng felt a little reluctant. He could stand here today because of this sword that reached the second grade. It can be said that this sword changed his fate, so Changsheng had a special feeling for this sword.

However, no matter how reluctant or sentimental Changsheng was, he did not dare to snatch the dagger back from the elder.

Elder Qing Fan held the dark dagger in his hand, casually made a sword flower, and looked at the elders who looked calm and composed.

Several elders suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

"Chun Yang, you are the one who will explain this last sword to everyone. You see, I have given you such a precious opportunity, shouldn't you thank me? I don't want any precious thank-you gift from you, you just need to take out the thousand-year-old wine that you have hidden away." Elder Qing Fan used the method of voice transmission to say these words, so no one else could hear them.

The person that Elder Qing Fan was blackmailing was none other than Xu Chunyang, the elder of Tianchu Hall who had pointed out that Kong Fang had only one talent.

Xu Chunyang's face changed slightly. It was not difficult for him to explain this black dagger. As long as he got the dagger in his hand, he would be able to analyze it clearly. But since Elder Qing Fan dared to blackmail him, then things must not be that simple. Elder Qing Fan would definitely find a way to prevent him from touching the dagger.

"This dagger doesn't look too surprising, but it's definitely not as simple as it seems to be to rank first. I can't say anything casually about such a strange sword, otherwise I will lose face."

In the end, Xu Chunyang could only hold his nose and blame his bad luck and agreed to Elder Qing Fan's blackmail.

However, Elder Qingfan's appetite was obviously not something that Xu Chunyang could satisfy alone, so he took the opportunity to blackmail the other elders as well.

"It's a pity that there are not so many elders coming this time, otherwise we could get more benefits." Elder Qing Fan looked like he was still unsatisfied.

"Hurry up, we still have things to do." The elders who were blackmailed urged in a bad mood.

Elder Qing Fan smiled complacently, and then without further delay began to introduce.

"This dark short sword is also a second-grade weapon."

As soon as Elder Qing Fan said this, there was a sudden "whoosh" at the foot of the mountain, and everyone made puzzled noises. And the inner hall disciples who were joining in the fun on the mountain, as well as Su Yun, Zhao Yong and the other 29 people, all showed deep confusion on their faces.

Elder Qing Fan had previously praised Su Yun's silver-white dagger as the best of the second-grade weapons, which made the inner hall disciples and Zhao Yong who were there to join in the fun think that the dark dagger had reached a higher first-grade level. In their minds, only someone who could refine a first-grade weapon could surpass Su Yun and become the first. But who knew that this dagger was not a first-grade weapon at all, and was still in the second-grade category.

If it was only a second-grade weapon, how could it be better than the weapon refined by Su Yun? Everyone was puzzled.

The elders who had been blackmailed acted as if it were true, and thought to themselves that there was indeed something strange about the sword.

At the foot of the mountain, Fangtou scratched his head and asked Kong Fang in confusion: "Both are second-grade weapons, and Senior Sister Su Yun's dagger is already the most powerful. How could this black dagger be better than Senior Sister Su Yun's weapon?"

"..." Kong Fang was speechless. What does "black" mean? !
