C668 Quasi-inner disciple test
"Why should I believe you there?" Su Jue questioned.
"I know that you don't believe me, but I can't prove anything either. But all the artificers in Li Huo Zong that have exceeded the strength of a grandmaster know that there is a Eight Extreme Jade under the Ancient Ink Stone!"
"Ancient Ink Stone!"
Su Jue was ecstatic. What Lao Jiugui said was right, there would definitely be Eight Extreme Jade beneath the Ancient Mo Stone. Not only that, if the Ancient Mo Stone was big enough, there should be a lot of Ink Violet Jade inside.
"Alright, I promise you!"
Su Jue laughed, then turned and left.
"This boy, could he also know that there is a Eight Level Jade underneath the Ancient Mo Stone?" Lao Jiugui shook his head, his face filled with suspicions.
"It looks like we've underestimated this kid. From his eyes, I discovered that he doesn't think much of the Black Demon Cave. Perhaps our mission might really be completed this time!"
The figure of the old gambler appeared in the darkness.
"I hope so. I also don't want him to die in the Black Demon Cave."
"Haha, alright. I'm going to go communicate with that person."
With that, the two of them disappeared into the darkness!
On the other hand, Su Jue returned to his room and started cultivating his Ice and Fire Slash.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Jue kept the Ice and Fire Blade in his hand, and then sighed!
These days, he had been in a hurry to practice the refining technique and the Spirit Controlling Technique. He did not practice the Ice and Fire Slash, and only now did he realize that the difficulty of this technique was far beyond his imagination.
Even with his body, he still felt it was a little tricky.
The most difficult part was to condense the Power of Ice and Fire on top of the mountain of blades. One had to maintain a perfect balance, otherwise, they would not be able to succeed!
"This martial skill requires extremely strong control in order to display its strongest power. If I can cultivate this technique to the third level then it might be easier."
After thinking for a moment, Su Jue decided to give up cultivating. He stood up and walked towards the Artifact Imperial Palace.
Before entering the Black Demon Cave, he had to pass the quasi-inner disciple test.
"Su Jue, you, you can't be wanting to pass the Quasi-inner disciple test right now, right?" Shu Feng looked at Su Jue in shock.
"That's right, but I haven't turned in my fire coins yet!"
After saying that, Su Jue looked at Lao Jiugui and said: "Of course, I believe that someone will hand it over, right?"
"You brat, you tricked me, right?" Lao Jiugui laughed, then said: "Alright, since you are going to the gates of hell anyways, I'll give you some compensation."
"Alright, then let's take the examination at noon today!"
Under the scorching sun, there was a sea of people in front of the Artifact Imperial Hall.
Because of Su Jue's great reputation, even many people from the inner sect came to watch the examination.
Di Kong and Yang Feng were also among them.
"I heard that the one taking the test this time is Su Jue, his name is spread far and wide."
"That's right, last time he tested his strength and suppressed Di Yun, which resulted in Di Yun crippling his own cultivation and leaving the Li Huo Zong."
"Lower your voice, Di Kong is right here. Di Yun is his younger brother."
When Di Kong heard the discussions of the crowd, his expression turned ugly.
"Humph, it's just a struggle to the death!" Di Kong said coldly.
A few days ago, this Su Jue killed Long Ze in the Equipment Servant District. Now, he is the candidate for this death mission, we won't be able to see him again next month. "
"That's true. There are only a few days left. What other exams are we going to participate in? Why aren't you enjoying your remaining days?"
"Could it be that he wants to rely on his performance and get the attention of the higher ups to spare from this death?"
"Maybe, even Miss Man Yao is here!"
Amidst everyone's discussion, Man Yao and his group appeared in the crowd, along with Shi Yan and his group.
"If Miss Man Yao appeared, Su Jue would have a chance of survival, it's just that last time, Su Jue offended Miss Man Yao, would Miss Man Yao help him?"
"Stop arguing, look, Su Jue is here!"
In the distance, Su Jue and Shu Feng, together with the two Great Elders Jiu and Wagang were walking side by side. They were talking and laughing along the way, with no expression whatsoever on their faces that said that they were going to die.
"The examination begins!"
With Enforcer Song's loud cough, everyone quieted down.
At the same time, Su Jue walked in front of the oven.
"Assessment artifact, Four-sided sword, time: one hour. Begin!" Enforcer Song lit an incense stick.
BOOM!
As the lid flew up, Su Jue instantly took out all of the ingredients and threw them all into the oven.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"Don't forget, he obtained the Rainbow Clouds Stone a few days ago."
"But it's impossible to learn it so quickly!"
While everyone was in confusion, Su Jue had already started to refine the materials. Like everyone guessed, he was indeed using the God Controlling Technique.
To refine so many materials in one go, especially with rare materials like Red Ice, it would be almost impossible without the God Controlling Technique.
The second level of the Soul Controlling Technique allowed him to split four strands of telepathic thoughts and control four of the most important materials.
Waves of flames lit up from within the oven, and Stacked Fire Seal s continued to agglomerate in Su Jue's hands.
When Man Yao saw Su Jue's Stacked Fire Seal, her expression became serious.
"His Stacked Fire Seal is indeed a little different. Could it be that I was really wrong?" Man Yao said in a low voice.
"Senior Sister Man Yao, there is no need to doubt, the Stacked Fire Seal is not as good as the Wu Xia Seal." Shi Yan who was beside Man Yao laughed.
Man Yao frowned as she looked at Shi Yan, "I heard that you still have three months of agreement with him. It seems that you won't be able to wait any longer."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I'm not very interested in a small character. I even think that it would be a bit of a waste of time for him to die in the Black Demon Cave and make some contributions to the sect. Perhaps that's fine, right?" Shi Yan said with a fake smile.
Man Yao's eyes flickered. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Look, Su Jue has succeeded in refining the apparatus imprint. If this goes on, he will soon be inscribing the apparatus imprint. What a fast speed."
"It is indeed very fast. In these ten years, the person who should be the fastest on the Equipment Servant Examination should be Senior Brother Shi Yan. It is said that he succeeded in only one third of an incense's time, I wonder how long this Su Jue will take."
"I think it'll take at least an hour. After all, inscribing apparatus imprint is the most difficult and time-consuming."
As the crowd discussed, Su Jue had already begun inscribing the apparatus imprint.
Although he had already contacted them countless times in the Burning Artifact Tower, the true artifact forging was completely different from the simulated artifact forging. He didn't dare to be careless.
The first apparatus imprint was perfectly inscribed, and then, Su Jue extended both his hands out, and began to inscribe the second and the third.
These two apparatus imprint were extremely important, because these two apparatus imprint could not be replaced by other apparatus imprint.
"Do you think that Su Jue can succeed?"
Man Yao, who was not far away, looked at Shi Yan and asked.
"If he can't even pass this sort of test, what qualifications does he have to compete with me?"
"That's right, the Four-sided Sword won't be able to stop him. I wonder just how long it will take for him to succeed!" Man Yao frowned.
"It should be more than half an hour." Shi Yan laughed.
"Half an hour!"
Man Yao looked at Su Jue, and then muttered softly after a long while: "If you can only finish refining the Four-sided Sword within half an hour, I'll protect you ~!"
Although her voice was soft, Shi Yan and her heard her.
Ze Lan was overjoyed, full of anticipation.
However, Shi Yan frowned and sneered: "Senior Sister Man Yao, you must be disappointed. He definitely won't finish within half an hour. You must know, that year, even I took a third of an incense's time!"
"Buzz!"
Just at this moment, the apparatus imprint on Su Jue's left hand entered the oven.
"It's a success, this apparatus imprint is the most important thing. Penetrating this apparatus imprint can be considered as half a success."
"You can't put it like that. There's still one more important apparatus imprint that hasn't been completed, unless …"
Before he even finished speaking, Su Jue's right hand shot out quickly, and another apparatus imprint entered the oven.
"These hands are almost completed at the same time, how strong is Su Jue's control? If this goes on, won't he be completed very soon?"
Everyone looked at the incense behind Su Jue in shock. Only now did they realize that it was only a fifth of the time.
"The last three apparatus imprint!"
Su Jue was already extremely familiar with these three apparatus imprint in his previous life.
With his hands, in just the time of ten breaths, two apparatus imprint s formed and entered the inner part of the oven.
"Perfect!"
Su Jue could not help but laugh. This time, the apparatus imprint was completed more perfectly than he had imagined.
"Too fast, too fast, there's only one last left. Although this apparatus imprint isn't very important, it can increase the success rate of artifact forging."2
"That's right. It's just that this apparatus imprint is more complicated. It might take a long time."
"Wait, look at Su Jue, why is he not moving!"
With that said, everyone was startled, even Man Yao and Shi Yan was startled.
"Don't tell me …"
"Could it be that he wants to use five apparatus imprint as weapons?"
Man Yao was shocked.
"Impossible, unless he's a Grandmaster Artifact Emperor, otherwise, it's impossible for him to use five apparatus imprint as an artifact!" Shi Yan confirmed.
