Avenue Stowaway

At the exit of the underground refining room, a long table appeared at some point.

Elder Qingmu and the middle-aged man sat quietly on one side of the long table, while the young man Zifeng stood next to the middle-aged man.

"Elder, do you really believe that the disciple of the Weapon Sect can make one tenth of the treasures have a fire-refined golden body just by making the weapon blank?" This question has been in the middle-aged man's mind since a long time ago, but he has been suppressing it and not asking it. However, as time went by, this question seemed to take root in his heart and grow, making him itchy, and he finally couldn't help asking it.

Zifeng's eyes lit up when he heard the middle-aged man's words, and he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully. He was also very curious about this question. After all, at that time, even other disciples of Qi Sect thought that Elder Qingmu would refuse Kong Fang's bizarre request, but who knew that Elder Qingmu finally agreed.

Elder Qingmu smiled calmly, with a wise gleam in his eyes.

"Whether he can do it or not...I don't know either." Elder Aoki said with a smile.

"Then Elder, you..." The middle-aged man looked at Elder Aoki in surprise.

Zifeng's expression twitched suddenly. He thought Elder Qingmu had seen something, but who knew that Elder Qingmu would give them such an answer.

"It's just 600 more contribution points, which is nothing for us. Why don't we give it a try?" Elder Qingmu said slowly.

"But elder, if he fails, you will lose face. If the other elders knew about this, I don't know how they would laugh at you." The middle-aged man said helplessly.

It is indeed nothing for them to pay an extra 600 contribution points, but if Kong Fang fails to do it, Elder Qingmu will definitely be labeled as a person who does not know people well, and the other elders will definitely not mind ridiculing Elder Qingmu for this matter.

"As long as they have the chance, let them laugh at me." Elder Qingmu sneered, appearing very confident.

Elder Qingmu actually had his own ideas in his mind, but he didn't want to express his guesses before the results came out.

"In the first round of screening, that kid was the first person to successfully refine weapons and armor. Although those two treasures did not have the Fire-Refined Golden Body, they are still excellent weapons and armor among the lower-grade acquired spiritual treasures. Afterwards, he confidently proposed to double the reward in Muhuaju, and the manufacturing of the blanks was handed over to him. If he didn't have some tricks, how dare he come to my Muxing Sect to act arrogantly? He must understand that these 600 contribution points are not so easy to get." Elder Qingmu showed an unfathomable smile at the corner of his mouth and waited for the result calmly.

Suddenly, Elder Qingmu looked towards the exit of the underground refining room. Then, the middle-aged man and Zifeng also turned their heads and looked over there.

All the disciples of their sect who they had arranged to help ran out, but each of them had a look of shock on their face.

Seeing Elder Qingmu and the other two, more than a dozen disciples of the Muxing Sect hurriedly stopped and saluted respectfully.

Elder Qingmu nodded, and the middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "You all look shocked, what happened in the underground refining room?"

The twelve Wood Element Sect disciples looked at each other, and one of them stepped out and answered excitedly, "The person who made the blank was really fast at refining the weapon. Every time we went to give him the materials that others had processed, he had already taken the previous batch of materials. His refining speed alone could actually catch up with the other twelve people."

Elder Qingmu, who had been calm all along, smiled. The middle-aged man looked at Zifeng beside him. They were curious about how Kong Fang did it. One person could refine the weapon at the same speed as twelve people. Although making a weapon blank was slightly faster than removing impurities, it was still a bit too much for one person to keep up with the speed of twelve people.

"That..." The Muxing Sect disciple who was speaking suddenly looked at Elder Qingmu and the other two with some hesitation, and his voice became a little hesitant.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Elder Qingmu said with a faint smile. He was in a good mood now. Just based on the speed of refining the equipment, he had a lot of confidence in Kong Fang.

This person immediately became excited and asked, "Is the person who made the blank a weapon from the Weapon Sect?"

The other Muxing Sect disciples also looked at Elder Qingmu, their eyes full of excitement and curiosity.

Elder Qingmu was stunned, and the middle-aged man and Zifeng standing beside him were also stunned. If they hadn't known that Kong Fang was indeed just an inner hall disciple, and knew Kong Fang's weapon refining speed, they might have thought that Kong Fang was one of the weapon demons.

"He is not a weapon demon." Elder Qingmu shook his head, then waved his hand and said, "You can retreat first."

The twelve people responded respectfully and left.

Not long after, Wang Sui and others also came out of the underground refining room. After coming out, the twelve people stood on both sides, looking towards the exit of the underground refining room.

Soon, Kong Fang also came out. He was surprised to find that everyone was looking at him, not knowing what was going on.

"Did it succeed?" Wang Sui asked anxiously.

The others also looked at Kong Fang, wanting to know whether any of the more than ten treasures had the Fire-Refined Golden Body.

Kong Fang smiled and said, "Let Elder Qingmu make the judgment."

Seeing Kong Fang's smile, Wang Sui and others were startled and had already made some guesses.

Kong Fang came to the long table, took out more than ten treasures from the storage ring, and placed them on the long table.

Elder Aoki and the middle-aged man couldn't help but stand up and check.

There is a big difference between treasures with a Fire-Refined Body and treasures without a Fire-Refined Body. There are several ways to identify them, but the easiest and simplest way is to input mana. When inputting mana into a treasure with a Fire-Refined Body, the caster will feel that the mana is flowing smoothly in the treasure without any stagnation, just like the mana flowing in the body.

It didn't take long for Elder Qingmu and the middle-aged man to check all the treasures. They first looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

At first they just hoped that if there was a 10% chance that the Fire-Refined Golden Body would appear, they would be satisfied. However, after checking all the treasures, they were surprised to find that nearly 20% of the treasures had the Fire-Refined Golden Body.

Kong Fang, who was standing opposite the long table, smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that he had gone a little too far this time.

"Fellow Daoist, are you one of the weapon demons?" Thinking of the words of the disciples of the sect who had helped before, Elder Qingmu became a little suspicious of Kong Fang's identity and couldn't help but ask, even though he had just denied the speculation of those disciples.

Wang Sui and others looked at Elder Qingmu in surprise. They knew very well that Kong Fang had only been an inner hall disciple for half a year. How could he be a member of the weapon demons? And were there any weapon demons so young?
