Avenue Stowaway

After integrating the formation carved with peak gold into the dagger, Kong Fang sealed the earth fire again. Then, after waiting for the temperature of the dagger to cool down completely, he walked over and took it out.

The mental trance before did not attract Kong Fang's attention, so he did not hold much hope for Qi Ling Kong Fang. However, despite this, Kong Fang still wanted to check the grade of the dagger, which after all meant what he could get.

Carefully examining the dagger in his hand, Kong Fang's eyes suddenly widened with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"This has actually reached the second level, how is this possible!" Kong Fang exclaimed in shock.

Each of the four steps of weapon refining plays a vital role in the final grade of the weapon. But in Kong Fang's opinion, he only had a simple and crude formation in his memory, which made him have no hope for the step of awakening the spirit. Kong Fang did the awakening with the idea that something was better than nothing, but now he suddenly found that the grade of the dagger was directly upgraded to the second grade.

"If I use the formation I remember to activate the spirit, the grade of this dagger will definitely not be upgraded by one level. Could it be that something happened during the time when I was in a trance just now that I don't know about?" Kong Fang's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed a possibility.

"Formation... Qi Ling made the dagger upgrade a level. The problem can only be with Qi Ling's formation." Kong Fang, who was just looking at the dagger, couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I didn't check it carefully before. Now the formation has been completely integrated into the dagger. With my ability, I can't make the formation manifest. It seems that I can't know what happened when the formation was carved."

Kong Fang scratched his head in confusion, trying to recall what happened during the time when his consciousness was in a trance. However, after trying for a long time, he couldn't remember anything, so he had to give up.

But then Kong Fang suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter was full of excitement and joy.

"No matter what happened before, as long as I have this second-grade dagger, I will have a great chance of becoming an inner-hall disciple." The more Kong Fang looked at the dagger in his hand, the more excited he became. He couldn't let it go and gently stroked it.

Afterwards, Kong Fang wrapped the dagger with rags again and prepared to leave the refining room. This dagger was prepared for this assessment. Kong Fang was going to the Huoyun Hall counter in front and hand the dagger over to the Huoyun Hall staff.

As soon as he opened the cold and dark stone door of the refining room, the noisy sounds in the corridor immediately penetrated into Kong Fang's ears.

"All the refining materials that I worked so hard to prepare were turned into ashes in an instant. The formation of this yellow-level refining room is too poor. It even caused the unstable ground fire." In the aisle, an entry-level disciple who looked to be in his twenties complained loudly.

"You also encountered such a thing? I thought I was the only one who encountered it." Upon hearing this, another disciple in the aisle was a little surprised at first, but then became extremely depressed.

Hearing this, the other disciples who were trapped in the underground fire pit immediately talked about the strange things they had encountered. You talked, I talked, the voices were noisy and full of resentment.

Kong Fang didn't associate this incident with himself at first, and nodded with some sympathy in his heart. After all, the ground fire suddenly erupted when he was refining the weapon just now, which made him worry for a long time, fearing that the dagger would be ruined this time. Therefore, Kong Fang felt a sense of agreement in his heart when he heard the resentful words of the people around him.

But gradually Kong Fang discovered something was wrong. The refining materials of these people were turned into ashes in the explosion of the underground fire. Although the underground fire in his refining room was also abnormal, his dagger did not turn into ashes. On the contrary, the grade of the dagger was improved a lot.

Feeling something was wrong, Kong Fang glanced at the people who were full of resentment and found that the refining rooms occupied by these people were actually near him. The refining room behind him was not used by many people, so he couldn't see anything, but there was a problem with the refining room in front of him.

The refining rooms were originally built on both sides of the aisle. At this time, Kong Fang discovered that no matter whether it was the refining room on the left or the right in front of him, the farthest refining room was separated from him by four refining rooms. In other words, there were problems in five of the refining rooms in front of him, no matter whether it was on the left or right side of the aisle. Now there were ten refining rooms in total, and there were neither more nor less. The symmetry was amazing.

The distances between the two furthest refining rooms and Kong Fang were so amazingly equal that Kong Fang did not think it was a coincidence. In addition, the materials of the people around him were turned into ashes by the ground fire, but his materials were intact. Even if Kong Fang did not know what caused it, he knew that all this must be related to him.

Kong Fang felt guilty instantly. He had planned to complain with everyone else, but now he dared not complain anymore. He even quietly retreated to the weapon refining room, fearing that he would be discovered by these people with strong resentment. If these people guessed that he, Kong Fang, was the culprit, he would not be able to get away.

Kong Fang retreated into the refining room and quickly hid in a corner. When people outside could no longer see him, he let out a long sigh.

"It's a good thing I discovered this early, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Kong Fang secretly said with a sense of luck. Destroying other people's refining materials is equivalent to cutting off their future, which will lead to a deadly enemy, so Kong Fang had to be careful.

But it's not Kong Fang's fault. The fire-refined golden body is so rare. Who would have thought that an entry-level disciple could achieve this?

Kong Fang quickly stuffed the dagger wrapped in rags into his clothes. Fortunately, it was just a dagger and no one could find it unless they looked closely.

Afterwards, Kong Fang walked out of the weapon refining room carefully, ignoring those who were complaining loudly or even clamoring to go to the Huoyun Hall in front to find the elder's disciple. Kong Fang walked quickly to the front of the aisle, intending to leave this "place of trouble" as soon as possible.

"That junior brother." Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him. Kong Fang immediately determined that it was the voice of the inner hall disciple Sun Hao. But Kong Fang didn't dare to stop now. Pretending that he didn't know that Sun Hao was calling him, Kong Fang walked through the crowd in three or two steps, turned around and disappeared at the corner of the aisle.

Sun Hao looked at Kong Fang's disappearing back in confusion. He wanted to call Kong Fang to let him go with them to find the elders. So many disciples' refining materials were destroyed because of the underground fire. The problem was most likely in the refining room. Huoyuntang naturally had to give an explanation, otherwise these people would definitely be expelled from the sect if they failed to complete the assessment.

But who would have thought that Kong Fang ignored him and ran away. Looking at his hurried appearance, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had escaped.

"Brother, why do you care about him? He looks like he's going to give up. Why should you care about the life and death of a disciple who has no ambition? Let's go find the elders quickly." Zhang De, with a face that was glowing green, looked at Kong Fang's disappearing back, his eyes full of indignation.

Sun Hao took care of this disciple time and time again, which made Zhang De feel extremely unbalanced.

"Okay." Sun Hao nodded and agreed, then said loudly to the others: "Everyone stop complaining, I will take you to find Elder Qing Fan. As long as the problem is really with the weapon refining room of my Huoyun Hall, the elder will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Sun Hao." Everyone replied respectfully. However, a few of them were still a little dissatisfied. They spent a lot of time and energy to accumulate some good materials, but now they were all buried in the underground fire. Even if Huoyun Hall could finally distribute some refining materials to them, they were just some ordinary materials.

However, everyone could only think about these ideas in their hearts and dared not speak them out loud.

After Sun Hao and the others left, the door of a refining room at the back opened, and Qian Ziguang, who was monitoring Kong Fang, walked out.

"Something unusual happened with the underground fire. All the materials for refining weapons turned to ashes. Hehe, in this case, that damn Kong Fang should give up. Without materials, I wonder what he can use to refine weapons. Oh, no, I have to go out quickly and keep an eye on him, lest he runs away in despair. Tsk tsk, I really want to see the desperate expression of that little bastard Kong Fang, haha, hahaha." Qian Ziguang laughed.
