Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 743 - 742: Artifact Refining Competition

Entering the mansion, Xu Ping’an took out the scroll.

He then began to read it.

Truth be told, he was very curious about the rewards for this artifact refinement competition.

If he could receive the inheritance from the Artifact Divine Sect, it would be of great benefit to him.

So Xu Ping’an carefully read it.

After a long while, Xu Ping’an took a deep breath of cool air.

"Generous indeed, if this information is true, then registering for the competition was definitely the right decision," Xu Ping’an mused to himself.

"Master, are the rewards for the competition very generous?" Yin Xue asked curiously.

"You could say quite generous," Xu Ping’an nodded and said.

"Master, tell me about them?" Yin Xue asked.

"Well, this time in the competition, anyone who enters the top ten will get a reward. Those among the top ten will receive a Semi-Divine Artifact and the artifact refining insights from the Refining Alliance Hierarch, who is a Divine Craftsman," Xu Ping’an said.

"So generous? The top ten will each receive a Semi-Divine Artifact? And also gain insight from a Divine Craftsman?" Yin Xue was surprised.

Even though she didn’t refine artifacts, she knew about the status of Divine Craftsmen in both the immortal and mortal realms.

Throughout the two realms, there are definitely no more than three who can refine Divine Artifacts.

And the Refining Alliance Hierarch was one of those three.

The status of the Refining Alliance in the Jade Spirit Realm was mostly due to that Divine Craftsman.

A Divine Artifact is an incredibly powerful object; its status in being able to refine a Divine Artifact below the Divine Level goes without saying.

"Indeed, if those in the top ten could get such rewards, that would already be incredibly generous. Additionally, there are other rewards for the first place," Xu Ping’an said.

"What’s the reward for coming in first place? The inheritance of the Artifact Divine Sect?" Yin Xue asked.

"Yes, but not just that. Did you know that the Refining Alliance obtained the Nine Heavens Divine Fire but has not managed to subdue it? Currently, the Nine Heavens Divine Fire still lacks a master," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Could the first-place reward possibly be the chance to subdue the Nine Heavens Divine Fire?" Yin Xue asked in surprise.

"Exactly, it’s a chance to subdue the Nine Heavens Divine Fire. If you can subdue the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, then you can become a candidate for the Hierarch of the Refining Alliance," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"What a clever scheme. Even if the Divine Fire is taken by someone, as long as the person stays, the Divine Fire still belongs to the Refining Alliance. However, I fear that the Divine Fire is not so easy to subdue," Yin Xue said.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

The power of the Nine Heavens Divine Fire is not the same as ordinary flames.

Although he possesses the Chaotic Flame, it is only in its nascent form and does not yet have the power that a true Chaotic Flame should have.

Otherwise, his physical body simply couldn’t withstand such a terrible force.

Of course, as his cultivation increases in the future, the power of the Chaotic Flame will also increase accordingly.

"What about the inheritance of the Artifact Divine Sect?" Yin Xue said.

"The so-called inheritance of the Artifact Divine Sect is actually a qualification for a trial. It is said that the Refining Alliance has obtained a legacy qualification from the Artifact Divine Sect, and the first-place winner will receive a chance for this trial," Xu Ping’an said.

"I see, even if it’s just a qualification for the trial, it’s still a rare opportunity," Yin Xue said.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

To receive a qualification for the inheritance trial is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Besides, there’s another reward, which is the opportunity to choose a Divine Artifact from the Refining Alliance’s Weapon Repository, a real Divine Artifact," Xu Ping’an said.

"To be able to choose a Divine Artifact, that really is a generous reward," Yin Xue said in amazement.

Xu Ping’an nodded; the rewards for this competition were indeed very generous.

No wonder it attracted so many people to come.

If he could secure the first place, it would undoubtedly be a huge gain.

"Master will definitely win first place." Yin Xue said.

Xu Ping’an smiled and said, "I haven’t refined artifacts for a long time, and my skills have become a bit rusty. I’m not sure I can win first place, but I did come here aiming for the top, and I will certainly give it my all."

Yin Xue nodded her head.

Although she had never seen Xu Ping’an refine artifacts, the fact that he had the confidence to sign up meant that his mastery in artifact refining was not low.

In fact, Xu Ping’an had achieved a demi-god level in artifact refining in his previous life.

However, due to insufficient strength in the past, he was unable to refine powerful weapons.

Now, his soul power was comparable to that of the Eleventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm, and his Immortal Elemental could be continuously transformed into soul power, providing an unending supply.

For him now, refining a Semi-Divine Artifact should not be too difficult.

During the next five days, Xu Ping’an familiarized himself with his artifact refining techniques in his room.

He needed to recover his level of refinement as quickly as possible.

In three days, he even attempted to refine an Immortal Artifact.

Although it was only a Low Grade Immortal Artifact, Xu Ping’an completed it perfectly.

This gave Xu Ping’an considerable confidence for the competition.

"Brother Qin, it’s time to go to the competition. Let’s head over together," Zhang Zhantian’s voice sounded.

Xu Ping’an walked out of the house and saw Zhang Zhantian standing at the door, looking at Xu Ping’an with a smile.

The other two gave Xu Ping’an a cold glance and left with disdain.

"Just two Intermediate Grade Immortal Instrument Masters, what is there to be so proud of," Zhang Zhantian said with a curl of his lip.

"So, does that mean you are a High Grade Immortal Instrument Master?" Xu Ping’an asked Zhang Zhantian, smiling.

"Heh heh, naturally, I am just like Brother Qin, both High Grade Immortal Instrument Masters. Let’s go; the first round of the competition is about to begin. It’s sure to be really exciting," Zhang Zhantian said with an excited laugh.

Xu Ping’an was not shy and followed Zhang Zhantian towards the square.

The first round of the competition was indeed taking place in the square of the Refining Alliance.

When Xu Ping’an and the others arrived at the square, it was buzzing with noise, and the lively atmosphere even took Xu Ping’an by surprise.

He had never seen so many artifact refiners before.

Fifty thousand people refining together, honestly, the scene was quite shocking.

In front of them was a huge stage that overlooked the entire square.

There were several dozen seats, clearly reserved for the Refining Alliance and some powerful individuals invited to attend the competition.

Xu Ping’an was indifferent to this; his gaze swept around the surroundings.

He noticed that many artifact refiners were filled with anticipation, seeming eager to show off their skills. Even if they could not achieve ranking, they could still demonstrate some of their abilities in front of these powerful entities.

Even those with potential might be directly absorbed by the Refining Alliance.

"How about it, Brother Qin, isn’t it lively?" Zhang Zhantian asked with a smile.

"Indeed it is lively. Fifty thousand people refining together is a first for me," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"The fun part is yet to come. The task for this round of the competition is to refine Low Grade Immortal Artifacts, but for those who can’t refine them, the excitement is really when their products explode," Zhang Zhantian said with a laugh.

Xu Ping’an could only respond with a wry smile.

Artifact refining also came with risks. If one could not control the energy within the Immortal Artifact, it could explode disastrously.

With so many people refining together, the danger was indeed not small.
