C73 Odd technique

"President, isn't this Zhang Chao arrogant? That's why this subordinate suggests that the two of us work together to refine one. Compared to the treasures that he has refined, if he can win, that means he has enough power to replace us! " Mingqiu was indeed an old fox. With a roll of his eyes, he immediately brought up such a request.

"That's right, President. Vice President Ming Qiu is right. If he can defeat one of us alone, what kind of ability is that?" His power does not mean that he can replace us! " Zhao Hong clenched his teeth, and agreed: "But, if he can defeat the two of us together, then the two of us will willingly be punished!"

Zhao Hong thought very clearly in his heart. His methods in refining had advantages but also had disadvantages, and if he worked together with Ming Qiu, he could make up for his inadequacies, allowing the two of them to use their advantages together.

Even if Zhang Chao's skill in smithing was extremely high, because of his cultivation, he couldn't have done better than them.

Moreover, both he and Ming Qiu were second stage Forge Master s, and that Zhang Chao was just a small white man who did not even have the title of Forge Master.

As for the possible Earth ranked magic treasure that Zhang Chao had refined in the Qiao Family, it was not something that he could refine on his own. At that time, the many experts in the Qiao Family were all supporting him …

Thinking of this, he steeled his heart and said these words.

"Zhang Chao, what do you think?" The president nodded and asked for Zhang Chao's opinion.

"That's fine. Junior thinks that what they said is true, so I accept this challenge!" Zhang Chao was full of confidence, from the words of his henchmen just now, he already knew the smithing level of Ming Qiu.

He thought that Ming Qiu was older and more threatening, but in reality, his capabilities were not far from Zhao Hong's, and was even slightly inferior.

If that was the case, Zhang Chao was relieved.

He was extremely clear of Zhao Hong's skill in artifact forging. After all, that small silver fish magical equipment was created by Zhao Hong with all of his effort, and then borrowed by his good-for-nothing nephew, the one who had been struck by Zhang Chao's stuffy hammer in Old Li's Blacksmith Shop.

"Good courage. Since there's no objection, let's begin!" The guild leader gave the orders.

Not long after, a few subordinates carried two crafting furnace s and a pile of materials into the President's Hall.

"For the crafting furnace, all of you just need to use the same thing. Choose your own tools and take whatever you think is convenient for yourself!" The president said, "What I want you to refine is a high-grade Mortal grade magical equipment. This is the blueprint for refining the magical equipment. Take it and take a look!"

Finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw the two bamboo sheets in front of Zhang Chao and Zhao Hong.

On the bamboo piece, there was a record of a method to refine a magical equipment.

The name of this treasure was the Wind Lightning Needle, and it was a type of hidden weapon used for attacks. When used, it traveled by the wind at an extremely fast speed, containing within it lightning that could paralyze the target's body.

After looking through the blueprints, Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu both sneered.

The refining process of this treasure was extremely complicated, and the requirements for controlling the fire within the crafting furnace were very high. It was also equivalent to the requirements for cultivation, and needed to reach a certain level of mastery.

Of the two, one was in charge of refining, while the other was in charge of controlling the fire.

Furthermore, Zhang Chao was alone, his cultivation was far inferior to theirs, so he would definitely panic, and might not be able to control the heat of the fire well.

They hadn't even started competing yet, and the pros and cons were already obvious.

"Begin!" Following the president's orders, Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu immediately took action. They first picked out the required ingredients, and then began to heat up the furnace, heat up the furnace, and refine it.

The whole process was organized and extremely fast.

But after Zhang Chao finished selecting the materials, he stood in front of the furnace and pondered deeply, no one knew what he was researching.

He didn't even light up the stove. He frowned and kept looking at the small piece of bamboo.

"Ha ha-ha, look at him. "Hmph, even if he really has the capability, if he wants to compete with us just because he lacks experience in forging, it would be equivalent to committing suicide!" Zhao Hong swept his eyes across Zhang Chao, and could not help but laugh out loud: "Furthermore, he wants to fight alone with the two of us, just by thinking of that, he has already lost!"

"That's right, he hasn't even lit a fire yet. Once we've refined it, he probably won't even have completed the step of refining it!" Ming Qiu's eyes flickered with a cold smile.

The president's expression changed. He was also a little doubtful about Zhang Chao's actions.

Time slowly passed.

Zhang Chao stood in front of the ice-cold crafting furnace for an entire hour.

As for Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu's side, they had basically finished refining the materials. They planned to take the next step, fuse the refined materials, and start forging.

Just then, Zhang Chao smacked his head, as though he suddenly thought of something, he immediately turned around and started picking out the ingredients from the pile.

"Strange, what is he looking for? Didn't you already pick out the materials needed to refine the Wind Lightning Needle? " Zhao Hong's expression changed as he muttered to himself in puzzlement.

"Perhaps it's because he isn't confident in his ability to craft the magical equipment. Perhaps he's afraid that the first batch will fail, so he has to choose a spare set?" Ming Qiu also guessed suspiciously.

Zhang Chao rummaged through the pile of ingredients for a long time before picking up a snow-white leaf: "There it is, this is it!"

"Cold Marrow Leaf? What's he doing with that? " Zhao Hong was even more confused.

The Cold Marrow Leaves were made in the extreme north of the country. They were made from a plant that was resistant to cold. They were extremely cold and would be used to refine cold type magic treasures. They would add a few pieces to increase the temperature of the magic treasure and stabilize its properties.

Soon after, Zhang Chao found a few other ingredients, all of which had the coldest attributes.

Some of them were like the leaves of the Icedream Flower, the Snowseal Stone, the Coldfrost Pearl, and so on.

"Is there something wrong with this guy's head?" Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu looked at each other, both feeling extremely puzzled.

"This brat wants to …" The president also sat up straight on his chair, staring straight at Zhang Chao.

"Hehe, if that's the case, then it's about time!" Zhang Chao grinned, then took the materials that had a cold attribute and walked over to the crafting furnace's side. He did not light the fire, but instead used his spirit energy to grind the materials, and directly threw them into the place where the fire was lit.

Feeling that this was not enough, he took out a few more crystals. After hesitating for a moment, he crushed them and mixed them with the cold attribute materials.

Under the control of the elemental energy, the cold energy within the materials was completely released, causing the crafting furnace s to be covered in a layer of frost.

Following that, the surrounding air began to plummet. With the crafting furnace at the center, the surrounding area of half a meter began to turn white, and a layer of frost began to form.

"What the hell is he doing so cold? Do you want to give up just like that? " Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu both stared wide-eyed, shaking their heads in disbelief.

"So that's how it is. Cold Refinement Art!" The president's breathing quickened and his eyes shined brightly. "I didn't think that this kid would actually know such an ancient refining technique at such a young age!"

Others wouldn't be able to tell, but he would be able to understand.

The Cold Refinement Method, as its name implied, was the complete opposite of a normal refining technique. However, the final result was different.

Zhang Chao thought very clearly.

He had just kept on studying the blueprints for the Wind Thunder Formation, and he could increasingly feel that this treasure's requirements for the forging of fire was extremely high. Although he was able to meet the requirements for the forging of this fire, it would take him an enormous amount of time and stamina. No matter how you looked at it, it was far from being able to compare to the combined efforts of Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu.

Rather than that, it would be better to break Mo Shoudao's rules and use some other method to refine it.

Suddenly, he thought of the cold refining method mentioned in the < All Things Refining Method >.

Up until now, the method of refining cold was already lost among the small crowd, and very few people would use it. After all, although this method of refining cold belonged to the small group, it had greatly increased the consumption of refining materials.

For example, the cold attribute materials that he had just found had been completely consumed. Compared to the charcoal and coal that he needed to forge a fire, the cost was too high.

However, at this time and place, he did not have to worry about the cost, after all, all the ingredients were under the Tiehe Association's care.

He was worried that the materials of the cold attribute were not enough and wanted to learn how to work in the iron incinerator, so he used the power of the crystal to increase the cold attribute. Although it was painful, but in order to win, he could only bear with it.

However, Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu did not know of the existence of the cold refinement method. The two fellows were obviously in chaos when they saw Zhang Chao's strange move …
