Chapter 71: Descendant of the God of Forging, Ou Yezi
The Green Lotus Princess had always lived in seclusion, but there were many rumors about her that attracted the hearts of many people. However, such a person with such a noble identity was not someone they could easily meet.
“This trip to the Capital Dao Conference is indeed not in vain. First, there was Alchemy Emperor Lu Haoxuan, and now there’s Green Lotus Princess.”
It had to be said that the lineup of judges for this year’s Dao Conference was truly powerful. Although in the past, there would be a few big shots holding down the fort. However, for a peak expert like this, or for Green Lotus Princess to appear at the same time, it was a situation that had never happened before.
“I remember that in her early years, Green Lotus Princess’s cultivation had already stood at the peak of her peers. Now, her strength is even more unfathomable.”
“Green Lotus Princess’s looks are devastatingly beautiful. With such cultivation, I wonder who will be able to match up to her in the future.”
Green Lotus Princess’s appearance caused quite a stir in the crowd. Everyone always yearned for beautiful things. However, due to Green Lotus Princess’s powerful status and noble status, they did not dare to act rashly.
The others more or less glanced at her from the corner of their eyes. Only Gu Xi heard their discussion and looked over boldly.
The palanquin was gorgeous. The beaded curtains were green, and the white gauze covered the window. Green Lotus Princess was sitting in it, and one could barely make out her outline. However, even with this posture, it was enough to make one’s imagination run wild, How bad would it be to unveil the white gauze?
It was as if Gu XI’s gaze was too direct. Green Lotus Princess sensed it and she slowly gazed downward. It was as cold as the first snowfall. She was like a fairy who sat high in the clouds and could only be seen from afar but not touched. It made it impossible for anyone to feel any sense of offense.
Their gazes met in mid-air and then separated as soon as they made contact. Gu Xi touched his nose and suddenly felt a little curious about Green Lotus Princess’s true appearance.
“I wonder if the winner can make a request and see Green Lotus Princess’s true appearance.”
When a bystander heard Gu Xi mumbling to himself, he could not help but laugh at his nonsense. “What kind of person is Green Lotus Princess? She is not someone that you can meet just because you want to.”
However, when he saw Gu Xi’s appearance clearly, it was as if something was strangling his throat and he could not speak anymore.
“It’s, it’s you…” he stammered. One had to know that even the Alchemy Emperor had to bow to the person in front of him. If he offended Gu Xi, he would probably die.
However, Gu Xi did not take it to heart.
There were quite a number of people present who saw Gu Xi. However, this competition was about refining weapons, so there were very few alchemy cultivators. Even if Gu Xi was quite talented in alchemy and could even crush the Alchemy Emperor, it did not mean that he was good at refining weapons.
Therefore, his influence was not as great as it was when he was refining pills. Although everyone sighed in their hearts at Gu Xi’s talent in pill refining, it was clear that he did not have any advantage in this kind of home ground.
“Although pill refining and weapon refining sound like there’s only a one-word difference, the distance between them is immense. Just because you can refine pills well doesn’t mean that you can refine weapons well. People shouldn’t have the wrong idea, or they would just embarrass themselves.”
It was clear that this sentence was directed at Gu Xi.
The two were somewhat similar, but there was a huge difference. It was extremely rare for a participant like Gu Xi to appear, who participated in both pill refinement and weapon refinement competitions.
After all, whether it was pill refinement or weapon refinement, they were both broad and profound. They had a long history and required a lot of time and effort to study. If you did not understand one, then you still wanted to understand the other, it was inevitable that people would criticize him for being too greedy.
There were once people who cultivated both paths, but they were all Ancient Emperors, and they were all outstanding figures. Until now, there were almost no such people, and even if there were, they were not proficient in either one.
However, this problem did not exist for Gu Xi because he had the System in his hands. He did not know how to refine weapons, but he could use the system to extract them.
Gu Xi turned a deaf ear to these sarcastic remarks. Seeing that he did not have any reaction, the others felt bored and turned their attention to the other contestants.
There were many people standing in the arena, but the most eye-catching one was a bare-chested brawny man. His upper body was naked, and bright red lines that looked like flames spread from his arms, they took up most of the area.
The lines seemed to have a life of their own, describing the traces of flames. They continued to pulsate along with the rise and fall of his chest. In addition to the dazzling colors, they gave people a feeling that they were about to come alive at any moment.
“Could this be some kind of special totem? It looks like a flame, so strange.”
His companion beside him had a serious expression, and he could tell the origin of this pattern at a glance.
“You are only half right, it is indeed a flame or a Heavenly Flame. Only those who absorb the Heavenly Flame in their body will show it. Moreover, the stronger the Heavenly Flame, the larger the area it will occupy.”
“Looking at the shape of this flame, it is very likely to be a Heavenly Flame that is ranked in the top ten.”
Many people were well-informed and guessed the identity of this person.
“I wonder where this person came from. To be able to absorb such a powerful Heavenly Flame and not even explode to death, it seems that his strength can not be underestimated.”
As everyone knew, it was very difficult for a Heavenly Flame to fuse with a person’s body. After all, its power was violent and was not controlled by anyone. If it was a mild flame, it would be fine. However, none of the flames in the top ten of the Heavenly Flame were easy to deal with.
Not to mention that they were extremely mysterious and difficult to capture. Even if they were to be absorbed into the body, they would have to take a huge risk. At worst, they would be severely injured and disfigured. At worst, their foundation would be destroyed and they might even be turned into ashes. From this, one could see how powerful they were.
Even if they were lucky enough to absorb it, if the host’s cultivation was too low, they might even be devoured by the Heavenly Flame in the future.
Even with such a huge risk, there were still many people who were willing to be infected by the Heavenly Flame. There was no other reason. They could obtain the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth during the forging of artifacts or weapons. They could also borrow the pressure of the Heavenly Flame to improve the quality of the forging. As the saying went, risk and opportunity coexisted.
“I heard that he is the descendant of the God of Forging, Ou Yezi. He is the most outstanding talent in this generation, and his name is Ou Yechen.”
“No wonder, so he has a strong family background. I heard that the Heavenly Flame in his body is the Nine Yang Heaven-splitting Divine Flame, and it is very powerful. The other Heavenly Flames have to retreat when they encounter it.”
“Not only that, there is also the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace passed down from his ancestors. It was passed down from Ou Yezi’s hands, and it is an existence comparable to a divine weapon.”
“Even if they don’t rely on these external objects, the Ou family has a long history. The forging methods of their ancestors are not something that ordinary people can compare to.”
“And I heard that their family has a divine forging manual. It’s said that it was personally written by Ou Yezi. It combines all the forging techniques in the world. The skills in it are profound and unfathomable. If you learn all of them, you can even forge a semi-divine weapon!”
