The villain is right beside me

"What kind of treasure is that, Junior Sister? It should be as powerful as a top-grade treasure."

"That's the black iron knife we ​​use."

"That's not right. We all know that the Black Iron Sword is just an ordinary mid-grade treasure."

The skinny young man admitted defeat without hesitation: "I didn't expect that my junior sister actually has a top-grade treasure. I didn't lose unfairly."

Lan Yue is still confused now. When she received this sword, it was indeed a mid-grade treasure. How could it suddenly burst out with the power of a top-grade treasure?

Many outer disciples do not have top-grade treasures in their hands. They are too expensive and they simply cannot afford them.

Elder Gu glanced at Lan Yue and was also surprised by the power of Lan Yue's black iron knife. Without saying much, he announced that Lan Yue was the winner.

There wasn't much of a commotion in the following competitions, as many disciples were wary of the top-grade treasure that Lan Yue used.

The next match that Lan Yue appeared in was against a burly man who was at the sixth level of enlightenment.

The big man thought he was very smart. He took out two protective talismans in advance and stuck them on his body. Two spiritual light shields protected him, and he directly sacrificed an ice cone talisman. The sharp intention was obviously emitted, making the surroundings feel icy instantly.

Lan Yue once again took out the black iron knife. This time, she mobilized all her spiritual power, and suddenly, a shocking change occurred!

The blade glowed with light, and the silver patterns were as gorgeous as snow patterns. It actually cut out a dazzling crescent-shaped blade light that was a meter long!

Bang bang bang!

The knife was so fast that it directly chopped a huge ice cone into pieces, causing a sharp whistle that even seemed to break through the wind and was close to the big man in an instant.

The people around were all shocked and attracted by the knife, and they all exclaimed in surprise.

Elder Gu's eyes suddenly lit up, and even Chairman Chen exclaimed in surprise. Lan Yue actually unleashed the full power of this supreme treasure at this moment.

The big man's eyes narrowed, and his whole body exploded with a bang. The first layer of spiritual light shield was shattered, and the second layer of spiritual light shield was shattered again. Although the speed suddenly decreased, it still penetrated it completely, and the blade was about to cut his head!

boom!

Afterwards, the big man felt his body lighten, and found that he had been thrown down the stairs by Master Chen, and the blade light was instantly crushed by his finger!

This is the strength of the Platform Building Realm.

Lan Yue looked like a kitten that had made a mistake, waiting for Chairman Chen's criticism.

Master Chen said, "Junior Brother Lan Yue, let me borrow your sword to have a look."

They had already seen that the black iron knife in Lan Yue's hand was indeed issued by the sect, but this one was indeed extraordinary.

Master Chen took the black iron knife, flicked his fingers on the blade, and a bright silver pattern appeared, but it dimmed in the blink of an eye, and it was no different from an ordinary knife.

A trace of surprise appeared on the face of Chen, the headmaster. "This sword has actually been refined with spirit. Moreover, the power of the original mid-grade treasure has been increased to almost that of a top-grade treasure. Even the patterns on it are somewhat special."

Lan Yue was surprised. After she got the knife, she never asked anyone to refine its spirit. Unless, it had been refined after it was made.

"Master, when I received this sword in the Merit Hall, I did not refine the spirit."

Chairmaster Chen smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm just curious about who refined this spirit. Although I don't know how to refine spirits, I can see that this person's level of refining spirits is not inferior to those elders of the Lingwen lineage."

Elder Gu exclaimed in surprise: "No way, the Soul Refining Hall is mainly responsible for this, but Elder Ning who manages the Soul Refining Hall never wastes time on these low-level treasures. Unless it is... a disciple of the Soul Refining Hall..."

"No matter who it is, at least a good seedling has appeared in the Refining Spirit lineage." Master Chen handed the knife to Lan Yue: "This knife is very powerful, you'd better not use it easily, especially in the disciples' competition. Okay, the competition continues."

Lan Yue looked at her black iron knife. The patterns on the knife were very dim, but who would have thought that it was the work of a spirit refining master!

The disciples were even more surprised after hearing this. If Lan Yue's sword was refined in the Soul Refining Hall, then doesn't that mean there are many such swords in the Soul Refining Hall!

As soon as the competition was over, many disciples rushed to the Spirit Refining Hall, hoping to obtain a top-grade black iron knife.

However, this action completely set off a chain storm in the spiritual pattern lineage.

……

Mu Qing calculated the more than 600 contribution points he had accumulated so far, and went to the Merit Hall to exchange them for a talisman pen, two handy high-quality artifacts, and finally a bottle of Yang Yuan Dan for cultivation.

Back in the house, Mu Qing played with the pure white pill in his hand. On a whim, he picked up a carving knife and carefully drew a talisman on the pill.

A Yang Yuan Dan might be a lower-grade elixir, which has miraculous effects on most disciples in the Kaiqiao realm. After being portrayed by Mu Qing, the elixir was upgraded to another level, with abundant spiritual power, which was actually comparable to a higher-grade elixir.

Mu Qing swallowed the pill, and the surging Yang Yuan force washed over his meridians, and he began to practice the Taiyang Meridian.

The hand Taiyang meridian has 38 acupuncture points on the left and right, starting from the Shaoze point at the tip of the little finger, and is the exterior and interior of the hand Shaoyin meridian. The hand Shaoyin meridian is the king who controls life and death, and the hand Taiyang meridian is the mirror that reflects the heart's ability.

After Mu Qing took five top-grade Yang Yuan Pills, he finally opened up a meridian completely.

"It seems that elixirs are still effective. In that case, it's better to get more." Mu Qing realized the benefits of elixirs and thought that if he could get more Yang Yuan Pills, it would be more convenient for him to practice.

It’s just that Yang Yuan Dan is too expensive. This small bottle cost him one hundred contribution points.

Mu Qing also engraved patterns on two top-grade treasures, a tortoise-patterned shield for defense and a set of flying swords for attack.

Sometimes even Lao Wang had to be surprised. Mu Qing's talent in refining spirits was indeed extraordinary. He succeeded in refining spirit tools every time! There were no mistakes at all! You know, no matter how talented a spirit refiner is, he will definitely fail in refining spirits for the first time, mainly because the strength of the spirit power is difficult to control.

God closed one door for him and opened another.

At this moment, in the Spirit Refining Hall, the three elders of the Lingwen lineage were staring at a new batch of black iron knives that had been brought into the warehouse, examining them one by one. Among them, Elder Gao, whom Mu Qing was familiar with, was also here.

"Do you understand?" Elder Ning of the Spirit Refining Peak had a strange expression on his face. When he first saw these black iron knives, they looked no different from those mid-grade treasures. But when he picked them up and activated his spiritual power, he noticed that the spiritual patterns on them were so mysterious that even he, a master of spirit refining, was amazed.

"Which disciple refined this? Who is the disciple who has been in charge of refining the black iron knife?" Elder Gao asked everyone in the Spirit Refining Hall to come over. They stood in a neat row, not daring to breathe.

Bao Wenxuan, the disciple in charge, stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the uncle, the three brothers have always been in charge of refining the black iron sword. I arranged them all by myself."

Elder Gao glanced at them and sneered, "Are you trying to say that these swords were made by them?"

They wanted to admit it, but these were indeed not made by them.

“Could it be…” The white-bearded old man was the elder of Tianfu Peak. He narrowed his eyes and recalled the recent rumors on Tianfu Peak: “The mysterious Immortal Pattern Master appeared.”

Everyone gasped. A fairy pattern master who had suddenly risen recently had reached the top of five spirit pattern towers in less than a year, pushing the former spirit pattern genius Yi Xuan aside. Until now, no one knew what he looked like.

It is said that the Master of Immortal Patterns is a hidden spiritual pattern master, who may be hiding among his many disciples.

Now that he has appeared, what is the purpose of refining so many mid-grade treasures?

"He is practicing. He uses these treasures as tools to refine his spirits and improve his skills. I'm afraid his level of refining spirits has already reached perfection."

"He didn't show up because he didn't care about fame, fortune, honor or false reputation. This man, who worked hard to pursue the great path of spiritual refinement, is a role model for our generation."

"Look at the lines and the strokes, the smooth and flowing strokes. I seem to see a master who is of high moral character and treats money as dirt."

Mu Qing would be speechless if he heard these comments. He simply had no money and wanted to exchange for some pills for cultivation.

A single stone stirs up a thousand waves. The black iron knife made by the Immortal Pattern Master himself immediately attracted many disciples' attention. Some disciples even spent a lot of money to buy a black iron knife.

Some disciples of the Spiritual Pattern School were even more crazy, wishing to offer the knife as a sacrifice and worship it all day long. Some even gave the knife a new name, calling it the "Snow Pattern Knife".

Some disciples tried to copy the spiritual patterns on the knife and tried to imitate them, but they failed as expected.

These spiritual patterns were not actually complicated, but Mu Qing made some minor changes to simplify them, and these disciples could not discover the secrets at all. Afterwards, Elder Ning carefully studied the Snow Pattern Knife and finally copied the method of engraving the spiritual patterns on it, and was even more amazed.

This work can be called a creation of nature.

Although the quality of the knife is nothing special, in the eyes of the spirit pattern master, it is no different from a treasure, because the carving method on it is something they have never seen before!

Elder Gao took one away. Although he was an array master and had some knowledge of spirit refining, somehow a young figure emerged in his mind.

He checked the list of disciples who had recently gone to the Spirit Refining Hall to provide spirit refining weapons, and he actually found it.

“Could it be… that it’s really him!” Elder Gao’s breathing quickened. If there was one disciple among the many who was most likely to be the Immortal Mark Master, then it could only be Mu Qing…

"If it's true, it's too scary." Elder Gao knew very well that the art of spiritual patterns was profound and extensive. Someone with such high talent in both formation patterns and spirit refining had never appeared in Piaomiao Sect in tens of thousands of years.

"Since he doesn't want to be high-profile, let him continue to be low-profile. However, gold will shine eventually." Elder Gao thought, and he decided to keep silent about this matter.

The storm caused by the black iron knife had not lasted long when screams were heard again on Tianfu Peak.

On the sixth spiritual pattern tower, a strange word "Xian" appeared again.
