A week later-
The whole sect hasn't changed, there was no decoration but disciples were preparing greatly for the competition tomorrow.
Everyone had a face of enthusiasm as if they were confident enough to reach the top 10.
Liu Xin, in his room, without any focus on the clan competition pours his senses into the forging of the new blade.
[Forge]
[Matirals: (Heavy Metalic Iron), (Copper), (Black Iron)]
[Weapon: Heavy Black Sword]
[Forging...]
After two hours...
Ding!
The sound echoed in his air and a sigh left his mouth. While he didn't feel exhaustion, he wasn't full of energy too. He looked at the sword that was dropped from the interface.
Body full of black, with the hilt of copper and white scabbard. The sharpness of the sword was truly shocking, as it can even absorb Qi to enhance its sharpness.
It was a perfect weapon for a foundation-building cultivator like him.
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Liu Xin was startled at first but then opened the door. Outside the door was Wang Femg, who was smiling beautifully which just looked too scary.
"I heard you haven't left the room for two days." Her voice was soft yet felt like it contained immense pressure. Liu Xin tilted his head but his body jolted as he remembered.
She had given him the task of refining a pill, but as he was immersed in his exercise, training and refining, he completely forgot.
On the day of the deadline, he just shut himself in the room to refine a batch of top-quality pills, he refined a total of 100 types of pills which include curse, healing, support, cultivation and more.
He didn't even care about the outside world, as he was too busy. He also broke through to the mid-level of the foundation-building realm.
And today, he got materials for forging from his lackeys, so he forged his sword.
"umm..." Liu Xin wanted to say something but stopped. "Sorry, sister Wang, I was too busy. I will refine the pill now." he said.
"Really?" Wang Feng was calm. She walked away. "You have two hours." Her voice was smooth but he felt chills in his spine.
Was she just at the early level of the foundation-building stage? He took a deep breath and looked at the materials which were stuffed in his storage ring for some days.
He downloaded the pill formula. As he downloaded it, he was a little curious about his storage.
[Storage: 812/1024 MB]
He was a little stunned as he still had more than 812 storage left. Immediately after, he refined the Excellent Poison Pill.
The pill lived up to its grade, as it took him 1 hour to refine it. 12 Top-Quality Excellent Poison Pills in a Jade Bottle. These pills are highly toxic and a taste of them could lead to severe conditions of cultivators below Foundation Realm Cultivators.
One would be injured but too seriously in Foundation Building and one would only be irritated in Core Formation.
These pills are only useful against Low-level cultivators. He was confused why Wang Jing had asked him for these pills. Well, it wasn't his business and it's not best to poke into other businesses.
It didn't take long for Wang Feng to reappear behind his door. After opening it, he handed two bottles to her
One was the poison and another was a different kind of pill as compensation for the delay. Even if he was forced to accept it, she was still his customer.
"Junior Brother is really excellent." Wang Fen smiled. "Here's the benefit." She handed him a ring and left the place.
Liu Xin glanced at the ring and froze.
Eight-Tier Spritual Fire...
This fire wasn't rare, but it can't be bought with spiritual stones alone. For a small sect, gathering this fire would be hard let alone a wandering cultivator.
Since it was his income for the pill, he accpected it without hesitation and refused the pill.
The fire was slightly smaller than a human head, emitting blazing red fire. He sucked the fire and absorbed it.
Maybe it was due to his cultivation, he didn't feel hot nor pain. He easily absorbed the fire and the only thing left was the core of the fire.
He touched the core and instantly retracted it. It was too hot! If he even held it for a second, his hand would melt.
He had to use qi to skillfully take it and he ate it. As he ate the core, immense pain surged in his body.
He felt like his whole body was burning. It was like his internal organs were melting.
The pain, he endured it and circulated his qi to control the core. A small amount of blood dripped out of his lips, but after ten minutes of hell, the core disintegrated and attached to his foundation.
He has successfully refined the spiritual fire.
"Damn!" He sighed. "That was hell." He lay on the ground, panting heavily.
His whole body covered in sweat emitted a burnt smell. He took a bath and fell asleep, exhausted by the pain.
The next day-
He was led to a big area which was surrounded by a huge wall by his senior sister Leng Fei. They have gotten a bit close.
"Liu! Liu!" A small petty figure jumped as she called out his name.
Xiao Mei let out a radiant smile and jumped at Liu Xin. Despite just being close for a day, she felt like her little sister to him.
"I missed you!" She rubbed her cheeks against him and complained.
Liu Xin carried her and walked toward the top of the building which was right next to the huge open ground.
The ground was covered by a circular stone slab-like in a football stadium.
All his fellow disciples, especially core disciples arrived and sat around looking at the ground.
They allgeeted first and without further conversation began watching the arena.
"Now that all fellow disciples are here. Let's being the 105th Clan Competition of our sect. The first competing is battle between outersect disciples." The annouer shouted with enthusiasm.
All the disciples cheered, and it was noisy.
"Let the clan competition begin!"
