Wearing a ghostly mask and a cloak, Ye Chenfeng jumped directly onto the arena. If it weren’t for Old Bai and Old Hei, he wouldn’t have bothered to co to this test!
After Ye Chenfeng stepped onto the arena, the atmosphere on site fell silent for several seconds.
Suddenly, waves of noisy chatter erupted from the audience around the stage.
As Ye Chenfeng did not hide his aura, many people present felt that Ye Chenfeng was at the Peak of the fifth level of the Nirvana Realm.
Looking at Ye Chenfeng’s strange outfit, although his face was covered by the mask, people present judged that Ye Chenfeng’s age must not be very old.
"Where did this kid pop out from? Who does he think he is? Wearing a mask, could he be here to make a joke?"
"There are too many people overestimating themselves these days. Maybe he’s here to try his luck. Even if he embarrasses himself on stage, at least he has a mask to cover his face!"
"Indeed, using a mask to cover his face shows that this kid lacks confidence. I think he must be a disciple from so small sect, and ca with the sect to participate in the Tian Xuan festival."
...
Ye Chenfeng turned a deaf ear to the chatter below. As for Gu Hui, who passed the first test, he looked at Ye Chenfeng with complete disdain and shouted, "Kid, get off the stage! This isn’t a place for you to fool around. You, of all people, don’t deserve to stand on the sa stage as !"
Sitting aside, the Pavilion Master of the Artifact Refinent Pavilion branch, Wang Xinghuai, was also quite dissatisfied with Ye Chenfeng’s attire. He didn’t like such mysterious people. As his brows furrowed, Ye Chenfeng spoke calmly, "I’m here to take the test. Whether I can pass it is none of your business."
Then, Ye Chenfeng looked at Gu Hui’s disdainful face and said, "Do you have the right to make get off the stage? Who do you think you are? Stop barking in front of !"
Gu Hui didn’t expect Ye Chenfeng to dare to confront him, and his face beca extrely unpleasant. His hands clenched into fists instantly. But with the Tian Xuan festival about to start, even though the Gus are one of the five major powers in the Profound Continent, Gu Hui dared not to attack Ye Chenfeng now, let alone during the Artifact Refinent Pavilion branch test.
Gu Hui sneered, "Kid, do you think you can pass the first test? Stop dreaming here."
This ti, the Ling Shui City Artifact Refinent Pavilion branch holds the event, and their disciples can’t participate, so those taking the test aren’t disciples of the Artifact Refinent Pavilion, and relying on themselves can’t advance in artifact refining.
While Gu Hui hasn’t apprenticed with any Artifact Refiner yet, it’s because he hasn’t t the right ntor. But, with the Gus’ status in Profound Continent, he can et so Third-Rank and Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiners, so Gu Hui’s artifact refining skills have been guided by others, and now, he counts as a genuine Second Grade Artifact Refiner.
The reason Gu Hui hasn’t joined the Artifact Refinent Pavilion is because he doesn’t want to be an ordinary disciple. He wants to apprentice under a master class Artifact Refiner before joining the pavilion, thus having an exceptional status within it.
Being a Second Grade Artifact Refiner, even using all his strength, Gu Hui could barely remove half the impurities from that piece of tal, and he didn’t pay any attention to Ye Chenfeng, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Bang!"
Wang Xinghuai flicked his finger, and another piece of black tal not yet purified appeared in front of Ye Chenfeng.
Wang Xinghuai said expressionlessly, "You can start."
Ye Chenfeng casually took the black tal in his hand and used Spiritual Energy to make it float in front of him.
Since Ye Chenfeng didn’t hear the previous discussion, he didn’t know that removing half the impurities counted as passing. He thought he had to remove all impurities.
Before Ye Chenfeng ca to Tian Xuan Realm, Old Bai and Old Hei had imbued all the knowledge of alchemy and artifact refining into his mind. Though he hadn’t practiced artifact refining, whenever he had free ti, he would study the alchemy and artifact refining knowledge in his mind.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t rush to remove impurities. He first sensed the impurities inside the black tal and felt that the impurities were man-made and extrely stubborn, so using ordinary flas would hardly have an effect.
An idea of a refining technique flashed in Ye Chenfeng’s mind, called "Wave Refining."
This was a thod developed by Jiang Yuntian for removing impurities. Although Ye Chenfeng hadn’t used it before, he was confident he could execute Wave Refining.
Ye Chenfeng flipped his right hand, and a dark green fla erged instantly. He controlled the temperature of the Green Fla so precisely that even Wang Xinghuai couldn’t discern that it was the Heaven and Earth Fla.
Ye Chenfeng wrapped the black tal with the Green Fla but didn’t proceed further, continually rehearsing the Wave Refining technique in his mind, verifying that he wouldn’t make any mistakes.
The cultivators below, seeing Ye Chenfeng wrap the black tal in flas but not take further action, felt a disdainful contempt.
"This masked kid isn’t really here to make a joke, is he? Just wrapping the tal with flas, does he think he can remove the impurities? Just now, the Gus’ top talent used many refining techniques!"
"I think this kid will soon be embarrassed. Although you can’t attack during the Tian Xuan festival, lifting his mask shouldn’t be against the rules, right? We should make him lose face properly."
...
Ye Chenfeng was unmoved by the discussion below, focusing entirely with closed eyes, rehearsing Wave Refining in his mind.
As for Gu Hui nearby, he no longer had any intention of ridiculing him. He said indifferently, "Just a clown after all, I thought you had so skills! I’m so disappointed."
Sitting in his chair, Wang Xinghuai couldn’t help but shake his head, finding Ye Chenfeng’s actions childish, and had it not been for his status, he would have stopped Ye Chenfeng’s futile act long ago.
But just when everyone thought Ye Chenfeng was just a charlatan, here to make a joke and lose face.
Ye Chenfeng suddenly opened his eyes forcefully.
He had rehearsed Wave Refining in his mind thirty tis already.
Looking at the black tal wrapped in Green Fla, he noticed the impurities hadn’t been removed much.
Ye Chenfeng connected with the Green Fla, then ford seals in the air with his hands. As he ford the seals, a surge of special power erged from the seals, beginning to manipulate the Green Fla.
At first, Ye Chenfeng ford seals very slowly, but without any pause in between. As ti passed, his speed increased continuously, until only the shadow of his nimble fingers could be seen in the air.
As the forming speed accelerated, the Green Fla enveloping the black tal transford into wave after wave, these fiery waves continuously crashing onto the black tal under the influence of the seal’s energy.
With the fiery waves’ continuous impact, the impurities inside the black tal were forced out rapidly.
This Wave Refining technique combines fla with the energy from the seal, which not only controls the Green Fla but also integrates into it, effectively removing impurities.
Moreover, the impurity removal effect of the Wave Refining is very strong. The originally pitch-black tal begins to fade visibly.
This sudden scene left everyone present stunned, watching the fiery waves crash and Ye Chenfeng’s brilliant technique without reacting at first.
As ti went by.
Ye Chenfeng abruptly stopped forming seals, and the Green Fla flew back into his body while the piece of black tal in front of him turned into a white tal, indicating all impurities had been removed.
Wang Xinghuai, initially seated, was already frozen in shock. Seeing Ye Chenfeng remove all impurities even more perfectly than he did, he slapped the armrest of his chair and stood up from his seat.
The entire chair instantly turned to dust with a "bang!"
Wang Xinghuai trembled intensely, realizing just by Ye Chenfeng’s impurity removal technique that Ye Chenfeng was undoubtedly a genius, a true genius.
The whole piece of white tal lay quietly on the ground.
The scene was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.
