Chapter 191: Creating a Divine Artifact

Many people may not believe it, why are those Tiandao sects willing to spend so much money to buy cracking talismans? And it’s a consumable item that will automatically become useless if not used for three days.

There is a saying that goes well, a tree lives with its bark, and a person lives with its breath. Those sects with properties in Tiandao City and the City Guards have deep grudges. Only with the help of the cracking talisman can they fight against the City Guards. , otherwise I can only be beaten passively, how aggrieved would that be?

Therefore, no matter how expensive the cracking talisman is, the sects are willing to bear it.

After Zhang Ye finished selling the new version of the cracking talisman, he felt someone crushing the jade slip to summon him. Zhang Ye's jade slip had only been given to a very small number of people.

He made an excuse and went to Tiandao City to study the cracking talisman. When Elder Dingyuan heard this reason, he stuffed Zhang Ye with a large amount of money: "If you see anything you want to eat or drink, just buy it and spend it all." , come to me again and ask for it.”

Because Dingyuan still remembers that Zhang Ye said that he worked so hard to prevent Dingyuan from taking the risk of grabbing the fairy rope.

Zhang Ye was still a little confused when he returned to the blacksmith shop with a bag of spiritual stones.

Zhang Ye transformed into his true form and opened the side door to see who was summoning him with the jade slip. It turned out to be President Sima of the Magic Weapon Association, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"President Sima, what brought you here?" Zhang Ye first came to Tiandao City. This President Sima took good care of him, so Zhang Ye's attitude was very humble.

President Sima and Zhang Ye chatted for a while before saying the purpose: "Tomorrow there will be a debate competition jointly organized by the Magic Weapon Association and the Elixir Association. I was originally one of the judges, but I have something to do and I can't go there, so I want to find someone. To take my place, after thinking about it, no one is more suitable than you.”

This magical elixir debate has a long history. It originated from the disagreement between the alchemist and the blacksmith. It has developed to this day. Although the blacksmith and the alchemist will not come to a big fight, it is still possible to start a war of words.

The theme of each debate is particularly boring, which is magic weapon or elixir, which is more important to the monks.

It has to be said that monks have a long life, and if they don't find something to do, they will be idle.

Zhang Ye was very busy running both ways, and was about to decline, but the system dinged: "Trigger a side mission. If the host can become the winner of the magic weapon elixir debate, the artifact function will be activated."

In the world of cultivation, there are only six categories: magic weapons, spiritual weapons, royal weapons, fairy weapons, holy weapons, and Taoist weapons. Divine weapons have never been heard of.

Zhang Ye asked with his consciousness, and the system answered: "The artifact is not a certain grade of the magic weapon, but a powerful magic weapon that has appeared in history or legends, such as King Yu's Jiuding, Fuxi Bagua, etc. The magic weapon has no grade. According to the user The ability explodes with corresponding power.”

"Once the host activates the artifact function, in the future draws, you will be able to draw the crafting skills of a certain artifact!"

"Remarks, because the artifact is a seal of heaven and earth and is unique, the host can only forge only one of each artifact. After it is damaged, it cannot be remade."

The system prompts made Zhang Ye roughly understand the definition of an artifact, and he was very excited. If we could reproduce the ancient Yu Wang Jiuding, or Fuxi Bagua and other artifacts, who else in the world would be our opponent?

However, Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment. In this cheating side mission, Sima Chenfeng invited him to be a judge, not a contestant. How could he win?

Zhang Ye asked the system, but the system did not admit his mistake at all: "No matter what, as long as the host obtains the winner of the elixir and magic weapon debate, the artifact function can be activated. If it is missed, the artifact function will disappear forever."

What a scam! Zhang Ye sighed, and at this time, Sima Chenfeng said: "If you don't have time, I can find someone else."

Zhang Ye came back to his senses and said: "There is still time, but President Sima, by the way, is the position of debater in our magic weapon group still available? Can I be a debater? I can contribute to our magic weapon association!"

Sima Chenfeng had a look on his face. What a great honor it is to be a judge. Why do you want to be a debater? He then smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhang, I didn't expect you to be such a person. Those debaters are all juniors. You have been famous for many years, and you still want to bully those juniors?" Since the last Youth Forging Conference, Zhang Ye forged the top-quality Wang Ding Lian. After the death of the Master of Tianbing Pavilion, Sima Chenfeng regarded Zhang Ye as his equal.

Having said this, Sima Chenfeng handed an invitation to Zhang Ye: "That's it, you will be the judge."

Sima Chenfeng left leisurely, and Zhang Ye wanted to cry but had no tears.

…

Because the new version of the cracking talisman had not yet broken out, Lord Guard did not come to bother Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye was worried about the debate meeting and was too lazy to open the business, thinking about countermeasures.

How do the judges win? Wait... Zhang Ye's eyes lit up.

The next day, a debate conference jointly organized by the Magic Weapon Association and the Alchemy Association was held at Kuilou, a well-known restaurant in Tiandao City. This debate was just a show of words. It was far less interesting than a duel in the arena, but the people in Tiandao City were really bored. , it was so crowded.

There were two tables in the hall, one table was for young blacksmiths representing the Magic Weapon Association, and the other table was for young alchemists representing the Alchemy Association. The host gave the opening speech and the rules of the debate conference, and then said: " This debate conference is honored to have the leader of the Changsheng Sect as a judge. Everyone welcomes it with applause!”

There was a round of applause, and the Changsheng Sect Master sat down with a smile. The host continued: "In this debate, we also invited Master Zhang from the Magic Blacksmith Shop to serve as a judge, and there was a round of applause."

The whole audience was in a dead silence. It was not because everyone didn't know Zhang Ye, or because they thought Zhang Ye was not qualified to be a judge, but because some people could not believe that Zhang Ye would attend this debate.

There is a famous saying about Zhang Ye in Tiandao City - if one day you are desperate about life, go to Master Zhang to make magic weapons, and you will find that your life is still full of hope!

This does not mean that Zhang Ye can bring hope to people, but that if you go to him to make magic weapons, you can't see him at all.

In other words, there is nothing more desperate than asking Zhang Ye to make magic weapons, so hope arises.

After the silence of the whole audience, there was an overwhelming cheer. Today, they finally saw Zhang Ye alive. How can they not be happy?

After Zhang Ye greeted everyone, he came to sit next to the leader of the Changsheng Sect. There were only two of them as judges.

Zhang Ye and the leader of the Changsheng Sect were old acquaintances. They exchanged a few words, but in fact, they had nothing in common. It was nothing more than "did you make pills or make magic weapons today?"

Okay, let's get back to the point. The host reiterated the topic and started the debate.

The two sides immediately started a war of words. One said that elixirs can save the dying and heal the wounded, but magic weapons cannot. The other said that magic weapons can eliminate disasters and solve problems, but elixirs cannot...

Zhang Ye felt that this was purely a waste of time. Just like a person's tongue and teeth, each has its own use. Why must they argue about who wins?

But seeing that others were listening with relish, Zhang Ye didn't know what to say and waited quietly for the debate to end.

Debates are like this. Each has its own reason. It depends on which side is more clever. The two sides have been arguing for an hour. The debate conference gradually came to an end, and the audience applauded.

The host said: "Which is more important, magic weapons or elixirs? I believe everyone has a sense of proportion. Now please raise your hands if you think that magic weapons are more important than elixirs?"

"Raise your hands if you think that elixirs are more important than magic weapons?"

The staff counted the number of supporters on both sides. The gap was not big, so the winner of this debate will be decided by the two judges in the end.

The host first asked the Changsheng Sect Master: "Sect Master, which do you think is more important, the elixir or the magic weapon?"

Although the Changsheng Sect Master is an alchemist, he certainly can't be one-sided. He commented: "Both sides have reasons and arguments, and the debate is wonderful. In fact, who wins and who loses does not involve the level of the two industries of magic weapons and elixirs. Both are important, but from the perspective of the debate, I think the elixir group is slightly better."

The Changsheng Sect Master is worthy of being the leader of a sect. He speaks at a high level. He only comments on the performance of the debate, not involving the two industries of elixir and magic weapons. The audience applauded.

The host then asked Zhang Ye: "Then Master Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Ye pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, there is no point in discussing the topic of which is more important, the elixir or the magic weapon."

In order to create a hot spot, the host said: "Why is it meaningless? Does Master Zhang think that the elixir is not worthy of being compared with the magic weapon at all?"

Although Zhang Ye's words did not mean this, the crowd was excited and felt that Zhang Ye was too much.

Zhang Ye did not respond to the host's words. He walked to the center of the field and took out the top-grade Wang Ding, and the audience was even more excited.

"This is the cauldron that killed the head of the Heavenly Soldiers Pavilion six years ago!"

"Come on, take a closer look, this year's bragging depends on it."

The host was surprised and said, "Does Master Zhang want to use this cauldron to prove that magic weapons are more powerful than elixirs?" Then he asked the head of the Changsheng Sect, "Master, why don't you take out a magic pill?"

The head of the Changsheng Sect laughed, not saying that he was arguing with Zhang Ye, but just joining in the fun, and took out a magic pill of the Changsheng Sect - the Tianming Pill, which is a stronger pill than the Xuming Pill, enough to change fate, and attracted exclamations.

The head of the Changsheng Sect said, "Xiao Zhang, the Tianming Pill is worthy of the top-grade Wang Ding, right?"

The audience laughed, thinking that Zhang Ye took out the top-grade Wang Ding to support the magic weapon group, but the head of the Changsheng Sect took out the Tianming Pill, and they fought evenly again.

Just when everyone wanted to see how Zhang Ye would step down, Zhang Ye said, "In fact, I took out the alchemy cauldron to end the debate about the superiority and inferiority of magic weapons and elixirs, because I want to tell everyone that elixirs do not have to be refined by alchemists, but forgers can create alchemy cauldrons that can automatically refine elixirs!"

The smiles of all the cultivators in the audience froze. Originally, everyone thought that Zhang Ye took out the alchemy cauldron to liven up the atmosphere, but they never thought that Zhang Ye was serious? Moreover, Zhang Ye said that his top-grade king cauldron could refine elixirs by itself, how could this be possible!

If I remember correctly, when refining the master of the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, the top-grade king cauldron finally refined a bunch of indescribable things.

By the way, the alchemy cauldron with a spirit is indeed powerful, but it can only assist in alchemy at most, such as controlling the temperature, reporting the progress of the elixir refining, etc. Whether a magic elixir can be refined mainly depends on the superb skills and experience of the alchemist.

What Zhang Ye said completely subverted people's cognition, and even many alchemists at the scene were furious, thinking that Zhang Ye was insulting their profession, and they all cursed.
