Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 72: Han Chang

With the same refining method and same steps, everyone's technique for refining is different, and the differences are significant. However, when reaching a certain level, everyone's methods will start to converge, ultimately reaching a similar level. Once this level is reached, the level of refining can be considered a master level.

Reaching the level of a master refiner means being able to mentally simulate the entire refining process. Mi Xiaojing inherited the skills of a master refiner, so even though he has just started refining, he has the ability to mentally simulate the process.

Of course, this also depends on the magical sword that Mi Xiaojing is refining. It is only a basic refining tool, and if he were to refine treasures or spiritual tools, he would be powerless without enough strength.

As he continued to mentally simulate, Mi Xiaojing became more and more impressed with Wang Weijun. His inherited experience in refining tools was truly miraculous, with every step and change having a corresponding response. How much experience in refining tools and how many things must one refine to reach this level?

Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing had a strange feeling that everything around him became quiet. He woke up from his contemplation and asked, "Did the competition end? Who won?"

"That girl..." Zhang Ke smiled and said.

Mi Xiaojing had already guessed that if only strength was considered, Mu Tianhua was actually stronger. But the result was that Chen Mei won, so she must have had other means.

Wei Fudao said, "That sister used many talismans!"

Mu Tianhua was in a sorry state, with several holes burned in his clothes and disheveled hair. He looked gloomy because he lost not because of lack of strength, but lack of wealth.

Mu Xiaoyin laughed and said, "When it comes to talismans, Mu Tianhua is far behind. Chen Mei is a disciple who specializes in refining talismans, and she refines them herself. He was sure to lose."

It turned out that Chen Mei was a female disciple who specialized in refining talismans, which explained why she had used so many talismans.

Mi Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh and say, "There are benefits to specializing in something!"

Mu Xiaoyin said, "Of course, those who specialize in talismans, alchemy, or refining tools, and have this talent, will not have much difference in strength in the sect."

.

Having resources can also be traded with others and can change one's strength. It's no wonder that Chen Mei had a low-grade magical sword, which she probably obtained by trading with talismans.

Chen Mei walked down the stone platform in high spirits, and a group of female cultivators not far away cheered to welcome her.

Mu Tianhua also had a group of low-level cultivators to welcome him, but he looked a bit disappointed. He had lost the opportunity to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, which meant he had lost the opportunity to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

In fact, only the first place winner had a real chance of advancing. The four people who received the low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill still had a small chance of advancing, but if they received a medium-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, they would have a 50 to 60 percent chance of advancing.Having a 30% chance of advancing is better than having no chance at all. This is why so many low-level cultivators strive for the low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, even though they know it's a useless pill. Regardless, there's always hope, and one must fight for it. If lucky enough to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, the first hurdle on the path of cultivation will be crossed. From then on, the sky's the limit, and a whole new realm will be entered.

Mi Xiaojing had lost interest in watching and said, "I don't want to watch anymore. If you want to continue, go ahead. I'm going back."

...

Hong Qing sat on the second floor of the wooden building, where the high-level members of the sect in the Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages sat. He was only one step away from meeting the requirements for the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, so he could only sit on the second floor.

A burly man sat next to him, grinning. "Senior Brother, I know you must have some Foundation Establishment Pills."

Hong Qing looked smug and said nonchalantly, "What's it to you? Even if I have them, so what?"

The burly man tried to please him. "Senior Brother, don't be like that. I know you're a great alchemist, and refining Foundation Establishment Pills is just a small matter. Haha!"

Hong Qing thought to himself that refining Foundation Establishment Pills was easy? That was nonsense. Foundation Establishment Pills were never easy to refine. Compared to Chen Shouyi, his success rate was much lower. After a year, he had only produced a few middle-grade pills, with most of them being useless. If he managed to get five or six middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, he would be laughing.

So Hong Qing did indeed have some Foundation Establishment Pills, but the quantity was extremely limited. Even after accumulating them for years, he wouldn't have more than ten, and they were all middle-grade pills. He didn't have a single top-grade pill. Nevertheless, he was considered a rich man in many people's eyes and a target worth buttering up.

Hong Qing shook his head and said to Han Chang, "You know as well as I do that there aren't that many Foundation Establishment Pills. Even if I have them, I won't give them to you."

Han Chang looked crestfallen and said, "Senior Brother, can you give me one? I have a brother who needs it...hehe."

Hong Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think Foundation Establishment Pills are candy? No!"

Are you kidding me? You need Foundation Establishment Pills, so I have to give them to you? Who doesn't need Foundation Establishment Pills? Even if a Foundation Establishment Ancestor asks for them, the answer is still no! Moreover, even though Han Chang was a skilled fighter and belonged to the sect's elite combat personnel, Hong Qing didn't care about him.

Han Chang said, "I knew it. I didn't plan on asking for it for free. How about a trade?"

Hong Qing smiled and said, "Oh? What do you have to trade?"

Han Chang said, "Last time, I got a string of Prayer Beads used by an Evolutionary Immortal. Do you want it? It's a high-quality weapon that can reach the state of meditation. Hehe, the quality of these beads is quite high!"

Hong Qing said, "I'm not interested in Evolutionary Immortal weapons. Besides, a Prayer Bead that's equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage isn't anything special. If you have a Prayer Bead that's used by a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, that would be a different story." He said it without really meaning it.Han Chang couldn't help but exclaim, "Come on, Senior Brother, the Awareness Stage is equivalent to the master level in Evolutionary Immortality, and it's equal to the Foundation Establishment stage. How could I possibly get a weapon of such a master?"

Hong Qing pursed his lips and said, "In Evolutionary Immortality, only those who have reached the Awareness Stage may have better weapons. Evolutionary Immortals are all poor, a single weapon can be used for a lifetime, and even be passed down. Only these kinds of weapons are not bad, don't compare others with us."

Han Chang was a little disheartened. After a while, he said, "How about I add some Spirit Stones to this string of Prayer Beads?"
