Chapter 333: Dry Wood and Raging Fire
Zhang Ye had met the Five-Colored Divine Light once, but unfortunately he didn't win it before. That's a divine artifact. I didn't expect the system to be so generous and give it to me as an extra gift?
The system added that in unlocking mode, as long as you master the forging of a spiritual treasure of a great realm, you can get the divine artifact forging skill as an extra reward.
This greatly stimulated Zhang Ye's motivation to make money. Zhang Ye looked at the rich Central Fairy Court and swallowed his saliva.
...
The Central Fairy Court is both the center of the fairy world and a city. However, this city is more in line with the mortals' imagination of the fairy world. Whether it is pavilions or street pavements, they are all built on the clouds, with colorful clouds and fairy music.
In fact, clouds can't hold up such heavy things. Only under the effect of the formation can such an effect be achieved.
With Zhang Ye's current attainments, he can't see through the power of the formation, which shows how high the level of the formation is. Under the protection of Yuxian, Zhang Ye flew to the clouds. This is the entrance to the Central Fairy Court, the South Gate of Heaven. Although the Central Fairy Court is exposed to the view, it is isolated by the invisible barrier of the formation, and only the designated entrance can enter and exit.
There are two golden immortal warriors guarding the gate of Nantian. Zhang Ye showed his identity card and was illuminated by the divine eyes. He was allowed to pass after his identity was verified.
Entering the Central Fairy Court, Zhang Ye felt that the immortal energy was particularly abundant, and it was full of the rhythm of Taoism everywhere. It was indeed more suitable for immortals to practice than Nantianfu City.
The Fairyland Lingbao Exchange will officially start in two or three days, but there will be some warm-up activities before the official start. Zhang Ye is not going to participate, but he still has to report first.
The venue of the Lingbao Exchange is in the Fairy Palace, which is the bedroom of the Fairy Emperor. It seems that this Lingbao Exchange is still very important.
Generally speaking, the general managers of the Lingbao Divisions of the four Tianfus in the southeast, northwest and northeast will not be absent from the fairies’ spiritual treasure exchange meeting. The Central Fairy Court will also send a top forger representative to participate. In addition to these five official forgers, scattered immortal forgers can also participate, but the threshold is very high, and they need to reach the Chaos level to join.
In the entire fairy world, there are only a handful of scattered immortals who have reached the Chaos level of forgers, and some people don’t want to participate, so at most only four or five scattered immortal forgers will come to participate in the spiritual treasure exchange meeting.
At the top of the Central Fairy Court, the magnificent palace is the Fairy Palace, which is more magnificent and sacred than the Tianzun Palace. Zhang Ye came to the gate, presented his identity certificate, and after strict verification, Zhang Ye finally entered it.
Under the guidance of the fairy, after seven turns and eight bends, he came to a courtyard. Before entering, he heard the sound of loud talk, as if he was arguing about something.
Zhang Ye did not delay and went in directly. He saw nine old men spitting around a table, but no one noticed him. Zhang Ye bowed and said loudly: "Junior Zhang Ye, on behalf of the Lingbao Division of Nantianfu to participate in the Lingbao Exchange Conference."
After saying it twice in a row, the old men looked at Zhang Ye and looked him up and down: "Who do you say you are?"
"Zhang Ye, the chief steward of the Lingbao Division of Nantianfu." Zhang Ye answered respectfully.
"Why didn't your General Manager Wu come?" An old man frowned and asked.
"General Manager Wu had a problem with his practice, so he specially ordered his subordinates to come on his behalf." Zhang Ye said neither servile nor arrogant.
Hearing Zhang Ye's words, the old men laughed: "There was a problem during the practice? Bullshit, it's obvious that he can't stand losing, so he hid!"
"Hey, it seems that the Lingbao Division of Nantianfu is going to decline, and they even got a little kid to be the chief steward!"
An old man even directly ordered Zhang Ye: "Zhang San, well, the Lingbao Exchange Conference is not something you can participate in, go back."
Zhang Ye represented the Lingbao Division of Nantianfu and came all the way. Instead of welcoming them, they should at least be polite. A group of old and disrespectful guys actually called Zhang Ye back directly, and the most important thing is that they called Zhang Ye's name wrong.
Zhang Ye held back his anger and said: "Dear seniors, I came here on behalf of the Lingbao Division of Nantianfu. I dare not say that I have achieved good results..." Zhang Ye wanted to be humble, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he changed his words directly, "But I dare to say that I came to win the championship!"
I'm here to slap you in the face, so what!
The old men were stunned for a long time, then laughed loudly. After laughing, they cursed again: "Arrogant, even General Wu of your company dare not say this, Zhang San, you are too rampant!"
"This is the Fairyland Lingbao Exchange, an academic feast, not a comedy meeting, go back to where you came from!"
"I won't make it difficult for you. As long as you can identify one of the nine kinds of strange materials on the table, I will not only not drive you away, but also invite you to be a guest of honor, how about it?"
The old men are old scholars with bad tempers. They were provoked by Zhang Ye and cursed very badly, but one of the old men suggested that Zhang Ye identify strange materials, which attracted others to agree.
After all, Zhang Ye represented the Lingbao Division of Nantianfu. It seemed unreasonable for everyone to drive him away for no reason, but if Zhang Ye's ability was not enough to sit at the same table with everyone, it would be natural to drive him away.
As for the strange materials on the table, they are the content of the old men's previous discussions and disputes. Many new materials are discovered every year. It will be very rewarding to discuss them at this spiritual treasure exchange meeting.
This has nothing to do with the final showdown. It is just a spontaneous activity before the conference. Zhang Ye didn't want to get involved in these troublesome things, but these old men look down on others. Zhang Ye has to teach them how to be a man.
Of course, if it were other difficult problems, Zhang Ye might still admit defeat, but identifying materials, this... This is really like someone delivering a pillow just when you want to fall asleep.
Zhang Ye strode forward, grabbed the stone in front of him, and put it down in less than a breath.
The owner of the stone said proudly: "Giving up so quickly? Why don't you try something else?"
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes at the old man, said nothing, and grabbed the materials in front of the other old men. He only picked up each material once and then replaced it with the next material.
Zhang Ye looked around at the materials, but not a single word came out of his mouth. The expressions of the old men became even more contemptuous. An old man in white said seriously: "Zhang San, I said that you are not qualified for this Lingbao Exchange Meeting. Young man, go back and study hard for thousands of years, and maybe you will eventually have the opportunity to be at the same table as me."
This remark drew a chorus of echoes and cynicism.
Zhang Ye didn't pay attention to the cynicism of the old men at all. He had already touched the last material. When the old men said enough, he pointed to the first material and said: "Originally, the Immortal Glory Stone was buried thousands of times underground. Tens of thousands of years, under high pressure, the essence has changed, and it can no longer be regarded as the Immortal Glory Stone, because it is harder and hotter than the Immortal Glory Stone, and can replace the red gold stone to forge the Hunyuan Spiritual Treasure..."
"As for this piece of wood, it seems to be a new species, but in fact it is not. It is just a method of transplanting flowers and trees. The 30,000-year-old black wood is grafted onto the 30,000-year-old Vulcan wood, so it has this characteristic and is not suitable for practical use... "
Zhang Ye's voice is getting louder and louder. It doesn't mean that he has a loud voice, but it is a voice that contains truth and is always so inspiring. The old men looked at the materials in front of them dumbfounded. The previous arguments and doubts suddenly became clear at this moment!
But they have some new doubts, such as why a small manager of Lingbaosi can know all these difficult new materials?
Finally, Zhang Ye looked at the old man in white: "Senior, the piece of material in front of me is a new species of heaven and earth. It has the same characteristics as Baixian Steel, but it is harder than Baixian Steel. It can completely replace higher-grade materials." The steel is made in the sky, enough to create a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.”
Zhang Ye paused for a moment: "If I'm not wrong, senior also gave this new type of steel a name, Wanxian Steel!"
"I wonder if I'm wrong, junior?" Zhang Ye finished in one breath and finished the nine kinds of strange materials one by one. The old men gasped as if they had been scalded by boiling water.
You must know that they have been arguing about these materials for three days. No one can tell the key and no one is convinced. But Zhang Ye explained the key clearly and also explained the origin, composition, function, etc. of each strange material one by one. Qing, the old men did not dare to refute and were unable to refute.
The most surprising thing is the old man in white. He hasn't announced the name Wanxiangang yet. How did the chief manager of Nantian Mansion Lingbao Division know about it? He said in fear: "Zhang San, how did you know that I was named Wanxian Steel?"
Zhang Ye yelled back immediately: "Old man, I have tolerated you for a long time. I am Zhang Ye, not Zhang San!"
Although he was scolded, Zhang Ye's talent has impressed many old men. The old man in white was not angry, but apologized. As a true old scholar, he must be able to take things he can afford.
The old man in white continued to ask: "May I ask Manager Zhang, I haven't announced the name of Wanxiangang yet, how did you know about it?"
The attitude of the old man in white made Zhang Ye think about it, but he still didn't look good: "I guess."
Guess? How could you guess so accurately? The elders understood that Zhang Ye was angry. However, this young general manager does have real skills. At least his ability to identify valuable materials is something that all the old men here can be ashamed of.
"General Manager Zhang is young and promising, but we made a mistake. Please forgive me." The old men praised him, tried to smooth things over, and tried their best to invite Zhang Ye, "Although General Manager Zhang came a few days late, we still have more to come later." There are a few small activities, I hope Mr. Zhang will not be absent.”
Zhang Ye came here to report today, so he had no time to play with these old men: "I don't have time, see you when the exchange conference officially starts."
Zhang Ye threw up his sleeves and left.
The old men looked at each other in confusion. After Zhang Ye left, they started talking about each other: "When did the Nantian Mansion Lingbao Division become such a famous figure?"
"You have some skills, but if you rely on your talents and are arrogant, you won't get very far!"
"Hmph, I'm afraid he only has some attainments in treasure appraisal. I don't think he can do anything else, otherwise he wouldn't be hiding from us!"
"That's right, that's right. How old is he? It's good to be good at forging."
I don't know if it was because Zhang Ye had offended everyone, but after Zhang Ye left, the old people complained one by one.
In fact, Zhang Ye's anger was only one of the reasons for leaving. The main reason was that he was robbed by the system and was impoverished. Instead of wasting his time on a few old men, it would be better to go to the Central Immortal Court to make a fortune.
He is now able to forge the best Hunyuan Lingbao, and the immortals in the Central Immortal Courtyard are extremely rich. It is simply like an adulterer and a raging fire.
