Chapter 136 The First in History
"President Sima, is this the young hero you recommended? He is indeed extraordinary!" President Beiyu said sarcastically, and the other presidents also smiled helplessly.
This made President Sima blush and unable to refute. He wanted to ask Zhang Ye to bring out the treasure materials provided by the Magic Weapon Association, but he couldn't tell, so he could do nothing.
"Then... let's start the tasting." When President Sima said this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and sat back down in a dejected manner. It was so embarrassing.
How to taste a piece of mud? The audience and the Five Realm Blacksmiths laughed out loud.
However, the blacksmiths still abide by the rules and follow the procedures.
First, the blacksmith from the Central Territory spoke, exaggerating that he had gone through countless dangers to obtain this material, as if it were true. Then, he asked: "Fellow Taoists, do any of you know it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the blacksmiths expressed their opinions. Some talked about the Tianba Divine Stone, and some talked about the Ba Shen Iron. However, the Central Territory blacksmith smiled and said nothing, which meant that they were not right.
At this moment, Yunxiu took the materials, looked at them, combined with the answers from his predecessors, and finally said: "Heavenly Demon Stone?"
There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the Central Domain blacksmith. Yunxiu thought he had guessed correctly and was about to explain the characteristics of the Heavenly Demon Stone. At this moment, Zhang Ye said: "It's not the Heavenly Demon Stone."
Yunxiu's eyelids twitched and she said angrily: "Zhang Ye, I know you are dissatisfied with me, but we are in the same camp, how can we undermine each other?"
Yunxiu first gave Zhang Ye a big hat, and then said: "Besides, this is the Heavenly Demon Stone. There is a piece in the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion. I have been playing with it since I was a child. How can I admit my mistake?"
Yunxiu cursed loudly, but before he finished speaking, the blacksmith from the Central Region looked at Zhang Ye: "You are right, this is indeed not the Heavenly Demon Stone."
The complacent Yunxiu suddenly froze, how could it not be the Heavenly Demon Stone?
The Central Domain Blacksmith answered: "I was surprised before because you can tell that this material is related to the Demon, but it is indeed not the Demon Stone."
Yunxiu's face turned red. Why didn't you tell me earlier? He thought for a while, if it wasn't the Heavenly Demon Stone, he really didn't know what kind of material it was.
But he felt that this embarrassment was caused by Zhang Ye again, so he handed the materials to Zhang Ye: "Come on, you said earlier that it was not a magic stone. You must already know what it is. I will give you this opportunity."
Yunxiu thought maliciously if he wanted to lose all his face.
How could Zhang Ye not know Yunxiu's sinister intentions, but he didn't take it to heart at all. He took the Heavenly Demon Stone, weighed it, and the system gave a detailed analysis.
Zhang Ye's eyesight is not what it used to be, he has already recognized it, and he only uses the system's assistance to confirm his conjecture.
"Zhang Ye, tell me, what kind of material is this? The honor of my Eastern Region is all on you." Yunxiu seemed to be encouraging, but in fact it was to put pressure on Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye didn't even look at him, and handed the materials to the Central Territory blacksmith: "Heavenly Demon Heart."
What material is the demon heart made of? Yunxiu, as the young master of the Tianbing Pavilion, had never heard of it. She thought Zhang Ye was just fooling around and said with a smile: "Zhang Ye, please don't hesitate to teach me what the devil's heart is."
Anyway, when it came to tasting, Zhang Ye didn’t give in and said: “The Demon’s Heart, as the name suggests, is the heart of the Demon, the source of all the Demon’s power…”
"Because the demon heart contains the power of the demon, it can be used to create demonic immortal weapons. It is best to be supplemented by the demon body. It can be made into a demon puppet or a sacred weapon..."
Throughout the world of cultivation, regardless of their purpose, magic weapons are divided into magic weapons, spiritual weapons, royal weapons, fairy weapons, sacred weapons, and Taoist weapons.
Zhang Ye alternated between fairy weapons and sacred weapons, which made everyone stunned. Also, what is a demon puppet? Why can it become a legendary holy weapon? I've never heard of this at all, I'm just talking nonsense.
Yunxiu bowed his hands to everyone: "I'm sorry everyone, my little brother has read too many fantasy novels. Please forgive him for wasting everyone's time. Please also ask fellow Taoist to announce the correct answer."
After hearing these words, the other blacksmiths felt that Yunxiu was a good person. They looked at Zhang Ye with disdain and then looked at the mud in front of Zhang Ye's desk. It was indeed nonsense.
Everyone didn't believe it, and Zhang Ye didn't say much, waiting for the answer to be announced.
The Central Territory Blacksmith looked at Zhang Ye with fear. He came back to his senses after hearing Yunxiu's words. He swallowed: "My sect elders spent several years and consulted countless classics before they learned that this was a heavenly demon. The specific use of the heart, the family teacher and other elders have speculated that it can be used to create magic weapons..."
"As for the demon puppet, it is a plan conceived by my ancestor, but due to the lack of demon body, it cannot be put into practice..."
"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Zhang to be so well-informed. I admire you. I wonder if the conference is over. Can I further ask Fellow Daoist Zhang about the Demon Puppet?" The Central Domain Blacksmith stood up and bowed. He was sincerely convinced by Zhang Ye's insights and vision.
At this time, President Zhongyu stood up and concluded: "This is indeed the devil's heart. Zhang Ye is right."
The other blacksmiths were stunned and held the grass in their hands. Is what Zhang Ye said true?
The blacksmiths praised it, and then looked at Yunxiu with questioning eyes. Didn't you swear before that Zhang Ye was fooling around after reading too many fantasy novels? You were the one who dared to fool around in the end! What a fool, he even led us all into a ditch.
Yunxiu's face turned red from being stared at by these gazes. He didn't know that Zhang Ye could really recognize them, so he had to turn his head away, not wanting to make eye contact with the blacksmiths.
However, this was a circular venue, and no matter which way Yunxiu turned his head, he could not avoid the questioning gazes of the audience. In the end, he had no choice but to close his eyes and pretend to be resting.
Several presidents praised Sima Chenfeng: "This boy is indeed a person who can identify materials with full marks. I am so jealous that you can be his master!"
"If my apprentice has such good eyesight, I can also put down my burden."
Sima Chenfeng felt as sweet as eating honey, but then he sighed: "It's a pity that Zhang Ye is not my disciple."
"What? Not your disciple?" Several presidents were shocked. Generally speaking, the young forgers recommended by the Magic Weapon Association are usually disciples under their name.
Sima Chenfeng nodded to confirm, and several presidents were overjoyed. Since Zhang Ye has no master, then they have a chance?
"Don't dream. Let's not talk about whether he has a master or not. Can you teach such a genius?" Sima Chenfeng knew what they were thinking. He said faintly, and several presidents froze and became sad with Sima Chenfeng.
The appreciation of treasure materials continued. The materials everyone brought out were not simple. At the worst, they were treasure materials that could forge top-grade king weapons. Among them, many materials were recognized at a glance. After all, the young blacksmiths present were the best in the five regions.
However, every time it was Zhang Ye's turn to speak, he always had unique insights and analysis, which made people suddenly enlightened and admire Zhang Ye more and more. He was indeed a genius blacksmith with full marks in material identification.
As for Yunxiu, who was ready to shine on the side, he became a foil for Zhang Ye. In the eyes of the blacksmiths and audiences from the five regions, there was only Zhang Ye, not Yunxiu.
This made Yunxiu extremely annoyed, and he always wanted to reverse this situation, otherwise, the first project would be won by Zhang Ye.
Finally, the opportunity came, and it was Yunxiu's turn to show his treasure.
Although this piece of material was small, it was colorful and looked good. It looked extraordinary.
Yunxiu originally wanted to ask Zhang Ye what this material was, but after thinking about it, Zhang Ye had never recognized the wrong material, so he should not let him take the limelight.
So Yunxiu asked other forgers about the materials in his hand. Finally, the forger of Tiangong clan recognized the five-color fairy stone, which immediately caused a sensation.
"Five-color fairy stone, oh my god, is it used to mend the sky?"
"The five-color divine stone is used to mend the sky, but the five-color fairy stone is not much different!"
"Then this is a real divine object, worthy of being the young master of Tianbing Pavilion!"
Listening to the praises of everyone, Yunxiu was inexplicably proud, thinking that with the rarity of the materials, he finally regained some face.
Yunxiu handed the five-color fairy stone to Zhang Ye: "Zhang Ye, you have always had unique insights, why don't you tell me about the characteristics and uses of the five-color fairy stone?"
The five-color fairy stone has disappeared in the world and only exists in legends. Only the powerful forces with a long history have records of the five-color fairy stone. Zhang Ye has a good talent, but it is impossible for him to know the specific characteristics and uses of the five-color fairy stone.
Once Zhang Ye said he didn't know, his score would definitely drop. When Yunxiu announced the correct answer, it would seem that he had surpassed Zhang Ye, and the final score would definitely rise.
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes at Yunxiu. What are you showing off? The water in the quenching pool of the blacksmith shop is made of five-colored magic stones. Your five-colored fairy stone is nothing.
However, Zhang Ye took the five-colored fairy stone calmly. Suddenly, Zhang Ye became stunned, and then threw the five-colored fairy stone on the table with disdain, took out the kettle from the Qiankun bag, and rubbed his hands vigorously.
Everyone was stunned. What was Zhang Ye going crazy about? Did he suddenly have mysophobia?
Yunxiu's forehead was bulging with veins. He thought Zhang Ye was doing this deliberately against him. He took the five-colored fairy stone back in his hand, wiped it like a treasure, and looked at Zhang Ye with disdain, using it to fight each other.
Zhang Ye was speechless when he saw Yun Xiu kissing and touching the five-color fairy stone. After washing his hands, he said, "Mr. Yun, I admire you."
"Hmph!" Yun Xiu snorted coldly and said faintly, "Zhang Ye, don't waste time. You haven't told me the characteristics and uses of the five-color fairy stone yet!"
"Uses?" Zhang Ye pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know."
Sima Chenfeng sighed. Zhang Ye didn't have a big force behind him. As expected, he still didn't understand the magical object of the five-color fairy stone. With this flaw in his performance, he would definitely not get full marks.
Yun Xiu was ecstatic. Finally, there was something you didn't know. Yun Xiu announced the correct answer: "Five-color fairy stone, integrated with the five elements of destiny, if the weight is enough, it can be used to create five-element Taoist instruments!"
Tao instruments are the top magic weapons in the world. There are only five in the entire spiritual world, one in each of the five regions of southeast, northwest, and center. I didn't expect that this five-color fairy stone could create Taoist instruments. Let's not talk about whether it can be created, but that is also a possibility!
The audience in the East Region cheered, and the audience in other regions also felt amazed. It seemed that Yunxiu would win the first prize in this rare treasure appreciation with the five-color fairy stone.
Yunxiu saw the desired effect and was satisfied. He said to Zhang Ye in a hypocritical manner with the attitude of a winner: "Zhang Ye, I really didn't know that you didn't know about the five-color fairy stone. If I had known earlier, I would definitely not embarrass you."
Yunxiu's words were superficially comforting, but actually sarcastic.
"If it was the five-color fairy stone, of course I would know." Zhang Ye paused, "But what you have in your hand is not the five-color fairy stone, so how could I know its use."
Yunxiu was stunned, thinking that Zhang Ye was showing off, and teased: "Oh? Then tell me, what is this?"
"Taotie shit." Zhang Ye said this, thinking of Yunxiu kissing and touching it, he retched.
Taotie is a legendary beast, and it is said that it only eats and does not poop. But in fact, this is a false rumor. It’s just that Taotie has a big belly and can save food for a long time.
Because Taotie eats everything, the feces it excretes contain various ingredients, so it is colorful and very beautiful, exactly the same as the legendary five-colored fairy stone.
However, it is only beautiful, because all kinds of essences are absorbed by Taotie, and the feces are useless. Zhang Ye said that he didn't know the use, which was just a matter of fact.
In other words, Yunxiu is really the first person in shit to participate in the forging conference with a pile of feces, so Zhang Ye said he admires it!
