I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 290 - Weapon Casting Conference

After returning to Kai Ping Prefecture with the order, Han Zheng didn't go anywhere and instead secluded himself for two days to recover his lost vital energy and stabilize his cultivation.

The previous continuous battles had actually benefited Han Zheng's cultivation strength, deepening his foundation.

Once he accumulated a bit more strength, Han Zheng would be able to step into the peak of the Xuan Gang Realm and get ready to begin practicing the Heavenly Demon Pill Method, preparing for the Solidifying Pill.

Creating the Dan Sea is simple, but solidifying the pill is difficult.

That's why others tackle the easy tasks before the hard ones, but Han Zheng's practice of the Heavenly Demon Pill Method is difficult and then even more challenging, which is truly remarkable.

On the third morning, Xu Cunbao had someone fetch Han Zheng.

By the time Han Zheng reached Xu Cunbao's study, Wen Tingyun was also there, and Su Wuming and Ye Liuyun had been called over as well.

Xu Cunbao looked at the three of them with a face full of gratification.

As an elder of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, he had experienced the era when Yan Xuankong headed the Bureau, a time with one strong individual and a host of weaker ones.

He had also lived through the times when the Black Mountain Demon swept through the Southern Mountain and the Demon Cleansing Bureau suffered heavy casualties.

Decades have passed, and generation by generation, new people have grown up. Today's Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau is stronger than it has ever been.

Especially with young talents like Han Zheng, when they matured, the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau could truly reach its peak.

"Elder Xu, is there another urgent mission?" Han Zheng asked.

Having all three of them called up seemed more than just some hurried mission; it didn't require all three of them to take action at the same time.

Xu Cunbao shook his head, "It's not a mission, it's a piece of good news. Wen, go ahead and tell them."

Wen Tingyun explained, "We've called you here because Refining Blade is going to hold a Weapon Casting Conference soon, inviting the young elites from all the major powers to participate, and naturally, our Demon Cleansing Bureau was invited. Have you heard of this Weapon Casting Conference?"

Han Zheng and Su Wuming both shook their heads.

Only Ye Liuyun pondered for a moment and said, "I seem to have heard the elders in the Ye Family mention it, but I don't understand much about it."

Wen Tingyun elucidated, "Refining Blade is the only sect among the Five Families and Seven Sects of Southern Mountain that doesn't have a Yang God Realm Great Grandmaster but still ranks as one of the top powers.

One reason is that Refining Blade has a Divine Weapon, whose might is comparable to that of a Yang God Realm existence, and another reason is that over eighty percent of the Mystical Weapons in Southern Mountain all come from Refining Blade.

The tradition of Refining Blade holding the Weapon Casting Conference goes back a long way. The invited sects are required to throw a piece of high-quality weapon forging material into the Melting Furnace for sacrificial refinement.

Then, the invited sects send two disciples each to compete against each other on a specially crafted platform.

The platform has an Array linked to the Weapon Casting Melting Furnace, which can absorb the sharpness of the martial artists' weapons during the duel.

By the time the final winner is decided, the weapon in the furnace will also have been forged.

Even the Weapon Casting Master cannot control the eventual grade of the weapon.

As it absorbs numerous top-notch weapon forging materials and the sharpness of weapons, the result might be an Earth Soldier or even a Heavenly Soldier.

This depends on the strength of the materials provided by the various sects for this Weapon Casting Conference and the strength of the competitors.

The ultimate victor's reward is the weapon that combines dozens of materials and the sharpness of hundreds of young elites' weapons.

Initially, everyone participated to give face to Refining Blade, so the materials thrown into the furnace and the participants' strength were not great, so only Earth Soldiers were forged.

Even an Earth Soldier is enough to make a Martial Arts Grandmaster who has condensed a True Pill envious.

That's why later on, the various sects actively participated, and the probability of forging Heavenly Soldiers also increased.

The Weapon Casting Conference is held once every ten years, and any young elite under the age of thirty-five can participate.

Not only those top sects, but even independent practitioners can join. They don't need to contribute materials but can take to the field directly, which is more or less to add some sharpness to the furnace.

Our Demon Cleansing Bureau just received the invitation a few days ago, so Elder Xu and I decided that you should go."

Ye Liuyun exclaimed in surprise, "Heavenly Soldiers are priceless. A sect like Refining Blade seems to need several years to forge a single Heavenly Soldier.

To forge a Heavenly Soldier and then give it away seems like Refining Blade is losing out by hosting this Weapon Casting Conference. What are they really after?"

Wen Tingyun said, "Who would do business at a loss? Although Refining Blade gave away Heavenly Soldiers, they were able to gain a Weapon Casting Grandmaster.

Ordinary Weapon Casting Masters can only forge Mystical Weapons, but it's the Weapon Casting Master that can forge Earth Soldiers.

And a Weapon Casting Grandmaster must forge at least one Heavenly Soldier.

But normally speaking, forging a Heavenly Soldier is extremely difficult, with constant input of materials and continuous failures. Some Weapon Casting Masters spend their whole lives without ever forging a Heavenly Soldier.

Now, with the Weapon Casting Conference being held, the big powers are supplying the materials, and hundreds from the young generation of outstanding individuals are providing Weapons Sharpness to fuel the forging, making it much easier to forge a Heavenly Soldier.

As long as a Heavenly Soldier is successfully forged, Refining Blade will have effectively gained a Weapon Casting Grandmaster, and that is certainly not a loss."

After hearing this, Han Zheng couldn't help thinking to himself that Refining Blade's transaction was very smart.

Without using their own materials, and at most just contributing some effort, they could exchange for a Weapon Casting Grandmaster, which is of course a good deal.

"However, it won't be so easy for you to attend this time."

Suddenly, Xu Cunbao said, "Wen and I would like two of you to go, but Wu Yunfei and the others want Tang Jue and Si Xingyan to go.

If it weren't for your Kui Character Camp outperforming the Jue Character Camp last time, Wu Yunfei and the others would definitely want to discuss this matter.

Now that I bring it up again, it's probably not going to be easy for Wu Yunfei and the others to agree."

Han Zheng spoke solemnly, "That's actually simpler, a fight will do if necessary.

Attending the Weapon Casting Conference naturally represents the face of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, whoever is stronger should go."

"It's easy to say that, but be careful with Wu Yunfei and the others trying any tricks."

Wen Tingyun sneered, "I know them all too well; they'll not just agree to a fair contest."

Xu Cunbao shook his head and said, "Meet force with force and adapt to each situation. I'll convene a council meeting to discuss this matter.

If they intend to pull any tricks, we'll just counter them as they come."

After speaking, Xu Cunbao took everyone to the Council Hall to call Wu Yunfei and others for a meeting.

When Wu Yunfei and his companions received the message, they immediately called Tang Jue and Si Xingyan over.

"That old man Xu Cunbao is convening a council meeting; it must be regarding the Weapon Casting Conference.

Cui Zeyuan is currently garrisoned in Smoke Wave Prefecture and has many matters to handle, so he won't be participating this time, it mainly depends on you two.

You should be proficient with those two things by now, right?"

Si Xingyan nodded, then hesitated, "But using external forces, wouldn't it seem somewhat unscrupulous?"

His master, Pang Zhen, furrowed his brows and scolded, "Without external forces, are you a match for Han Zheng?

He managed to kill Luo Dao, can you?

If you were competent, we wouldn't need to devise a plan just for you to win!"

Wu Yunfei advised, "Alright, don't knock their confidence too much, even we didn't expect Han Zheng's spectacular record, right?"

Turning his head, Wu Yunfei's expression became serious as he said to the two, "The Weapon Casting Conference is an opportunity to make a name in the Southern Mountain Martial World, and like those big Martial World sects, our Demon Cleansing Bureau only has two spots.

One spot for Han Zheng is fine, but our bottom line is that you must at least secure the other spot.

Otherwise, if both Han Zheng and Su Wuming represent the Demon Cleansing Bureau in the Weapon Casting Conference, it means they not only lead within the Demon Department but also have fame spread far and wide!

When people mention the outstanding young generation of the Demon Cleansing Department, they will only remember Han Zheng and Su Wuming, and like the rest, you will be considered bottom tier!

They won't care if you're second or third—if you're not the leader, you are just the mediocre mass!"

"Yes! We will give it our all!" Si Xingyan and Tang Jue hurriedly swore and expressed their determination.

If the Jue Character Camp lost again to the Kui Character Camp like last time, just as Wu Yunfei said, they would indeed become bottom-tier individuals.

This also meant that Wu Yunfei and the Capital Faction's disciples were being suppressed by the Local Faction.
