Qin Tiexin Put the scabbard into cold water.
There was a stabbing sound, and white steam rose up. The scabbard turned over in the cold water and sank to the bottom. After a while, he took it out, wiped it dry with a cloth, and began to polish it carefully.
He polished it very slowly, touching it with his hands as he polished it. Wherever there were burrs or unevenness, he could feel it as soon as he passed his palm over it. Those tiny protrusions were worn away little by little, and the surface of the scabbard became increasingly smooth.
In the end, the entire scabbard took on a brownish-gray color, with a hint of green inside. When held in the hand, it was as warm as jade, without the cold feeling of metal.
Qin Tiexin checked it again, called the staff, and handed over the scabbard.
He finished third.
The staff wrote down the name and pointed to the waiting area not far away.
Qin Tiexin walked over and saw two players already sitting in the waiting area. They were both wearing standard clothes and had the sect's mark embroidered on their chests. They looked like disciples of a certain weapon-refining sect.
The two of them were leaning against the chair. They were both young and looked to be in their mid-twenties. They had their arms folded and their chins slightly raised. They looked very arrogant.
Qin Tiexin found a corner and sat down, crossed his legs, and began to practice "Primordial Unity Instruction" with his eyes closed.
There are plenty of Spiritual Qi here, and it is a good place to practice. There is still at least half an hour before the end of the game, so you have to save every moment.
On the field, other players were still busy. The sound of hammering and quenching continued to come from the center of the school field.
What he didn't know was that his scabbard had already reached the hands of the three masters on the stage.
The three masters passed the scabbard over and over.
The first master took it, looked over it over and over, and slowly ran his fingers along Spirit Rune. He narrowed his eyes, nodded, and handed it to the next one.
The second master looked at it longer. He held the scabbard to the light, looked at the depth of Spirit Rune, looked at the lines on the copper surface, and then lightly swept it with his spiritual power.
"Yes, the technique is skillful, three Spirit Runes form an array, the lines are clear, the depth is uniform, and there is no break. The three Spirit Runes do not interfere with each other, and they cooperate with each other. Attack, defense, Repair, one sheath has three uses." He said, "If it is equipped with a suitable wood attribute spiritual sword and used by a Wood Spirit Root person, the sword's effect can be taken to a higher level."
The third master took the scabbard and weighed it.
"The spiritual material content is more than 70%, which can reach the Upper-Grade Law Artifact standard, but the effect is more than 80%. This person's weapon refining techniques are very sophisticated, and his control of the spiritual materials is very precise."
"The only regret is that it's too extravagant." The first master shook his head, "Very few people use spiritual materials to forge auxiliary Law Artifact. Spiritual materials are expensive, and most people want to pile them all on the main body of the weapon. It's better for this kid to use it as a scabbard."
"But the technique is really beautiful. Forging with one hand, no assistance is needed in the whole process, and the material can be controlled to this extent. This guy's hand is really good."
The three of them discussed a few more words and put the scabbards on the scoring table.
In the waiting area, Qin Tiexin has been sitting cross-legged practicing. The things have been handed in, and the rest is a matter of review. He can't worry about that.
After waiting for nearly an hour, the assessment was officially over.
The final results are announced.
Qin Tiexin's scabbard won third place.
The first place is a heavy shield with 90% spiritual material content. There is also a Golden Core Realm pet beast Spirit Bone embedded on the shield, which can block Golden Core Realm's full blow.
Qin Tiexin glanced at the shield. Although the technique was a bit rough, the idea was good.
The spiritual material content is so high, and the inlaid Spirit Bone also carries the aura fluctuations of the Golden Core Realm, and its defensive power is indeed amazing. This idea can be used as a reference in the future.
The second place is a sword specially produced by the sect. The sword is long and narrow, the cold light is cold, and the sword Spirit Rune is complex. At first glance, it cannot be made by ordinary weapon refiners.
The third place, monk Mingjue, wood attribute scabbard.
This result surprised many people. A scabbard actually defeated so many weapons behind it and won the third place. However, if you look at the entire refining process of Qin Tiexin, you will know that this ranking is either low or high.
After the results were announced, Qin Tiexin went to retrieve the scabbard and returned to the team.
Lin Chuan Several people came forward.
Qin Tiexin handed the scabbard to Lin Chuan.
"Brother Lin, this is for you."
Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment and looked down at the scabbard.
He took the scabbard and looked at it over and over. The brown-gray sheath had a faint hint of green. He compared it with the sword at his waist. The size was just right. The sword blade was inserted into it and it fit perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for his sword.
"Senior Brother Ming..." Lin Chuan raised his head and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Ever since I met Mingjue, Lin Chuan always felt that I had not been of much help.
When he originally recruited Mingjue to join the team, he still had some thoughts of taking care of Brother Feng's friends, but as a result, in the secret realm, it was the team that repeatedly relied on Mingjue to achieve such rich "results."
What made him even more uneasy was that not only did he fail to help, but he also almost exposed Mingjue's true identity. Lin Chuan always felt that he deserved it.
"Between you and me, you're welcome, your sword really needs a more suitable scabbard." Qin Tiexin said.
Qin Tiexin has long noticed that although Lin Chuan's long sword is Upper-Grade Law Artifact, the scabbard is just an ordinary Lower-Grade Law Artifact.
Every time the battle ends, Lin Chuan always waits for the spiritual power on the sword to dissipate before slowly inserting the sword back into the sheath, for fear of damaging the scabbard by accident.
Now this new scabbard just solved his problem.
Lin Chuan met his gaze, suppressed the complicated emotions in his eyes, and nodded heavily. He took the scabbard, first took off the old sheath from his waist, pinned it to the side of his backpack, and then tied the new sheath on.
The sword was inserted smoothly, and there was only a soft "click" sound. The hilt and the sheath fit tightly, extremely neatly.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ming." Lin Chuan said. This time, he did not refuse.
Du Heng and Liu Suifeng came closer and looked at Lin Chuan's waist.
"Good guy, Senior Brother Ming, your skills are so good!" Du Heng patted Qin Tiexin on the shoulder, "You must help me forge one when you have time! My broad sword should also be equipped with a good sheath."
"What scabbard do you want for that sword? It's such a waste." Liu Suifeng turned to Qin Tiexin and said, "Senior Brother Ming, when Arena Trial is finished, how about you buy me a set of array disk bases? The price is easy to talk about."
Qin Tiexin nodded. "Definitely."
On the stage, the three masters were still discussing the scabbard.
"Forged with one hand, 70% of spiritual materials, three Spirit Rune form a formation." A master sighed, "This level is already the threshold for a third-level weapon refiner."
"How old is he?"
"I heard that he is in his early twenties. It is really not easy for him to reach this point with one hand at such a young age, still in good physical condition."
"If my hands were healthy, I'd probably have to go to another level."
Several people were discussing, looking in the direction of Qin Tiexin from time to time.
Qin Tiexin thought that it had been kept and used according to the requirements of Senior Brother Chen Xi, but the quality of the scabbard still made many experts see the clue.
