The 9 Sun God King (Nine Sun God King)

Alchemy Competition

The spirit marks required for the water gathering array were all basic spirit marks. It was relatively easy to obtain, so Qin Yun had mastered this spirit mark from the very beginning.

He had set up a great formation like the Nine Sun Spirit Convergence Array before, so it wasn't difficult for him to create a simple water gathering array now. He'll be able to arrange it soon.

After carving the spirit mark on the beast skin, Qin Yun only needed to put down a purple crystal coin or ordinary crystal coin according to the marked location to activate the array as energy.

On the side, Duan Qian was watching with surprise secretly. This was because Qin Yun was very fast and skilled at drawing spirit formations and he also had an excellent spirit mark.

He nodded and praised, "This Water Gathering Formation is very good!"

Qin Yun activated the array and immediately, the sparkling and condensed spiritual water brightly and dripped onto the wooden basin in the middle.

"You have passed the Inscription Master certification. I will give you the badge of the Master Inscription Master right now!" Duan Qian laughed. "You are the youngest Inscription Master ever seen in our Hall!"

Qin Yun only smiled slightly and did not seem excited.

Duan Qian took out an emblem and started carving Qin Yun's name. He's so excited!

A fifteen-year-old Inscription Master, even in the history of this region, had never once had anyone like this before, let alone the Divine Inscription Palace.

When he saw the calm smile on Qin Yun's face, he sighed inwardly.

After five years of hard work, not only had the crippled former crown prince stepped into the sixth level of Martial Body but he was also an Inscription Master. Such a talent was something that only Xiao Yuelan could match.

"Qin Yun, in two days, our Divine Inscription Palace will host an alchemy competition. You should attend too!" Duan Qian had already carved the emblem and made Qin Yun tie it with blood.

Qin Yun asked as he dripped blood, "Alchemy Competition? I've never heard of it!"

Duan Qian laughed, "You might not know, but among the Inscription Masters, this is a very famous competition. When the time comes, all kinds of famous masters will participate, so you should definitely come."

"What's the main competition?" Qin Yun's heart moved as he hurriedly asked.

"Forging ... This was to forge the most basic iron into spiritual iron. If it was a high-level Inscription Master, the quality of the forged spirit iron would be better." Duan Qian laughed, "Master Wei has won the championship twice in a row."

"Master Wei is also participating?" Qin Yun's eyes widened. Although Master Wei was a dangerous and evil person, he did possess the skills to forge artifacts. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people worshipping him just because he was boasting.

Duan Qian nodded. "Only Inscriptionists can participate. You are already an Inscription Master, so you can participate. This was a once-in-a-decade grand Divine Inscription Palace. Master Wei only became famous because he got first place in the two competitions."

Qin Yun slightly nodded. If it was a martial arts competition or something like that, the person he was competing with would only be at the fifth or sixth level martial body. He has confidence in winning such competitions.

With someone like Master Wei participating in this Alchemy Competition, Qin Yun did not have much confidence.

After seeing Qin Yun's lack of confidence, Duan Qian said with a smile, "It's just a smelting of spirit iron! You're not much worse than them!"

Qin Yun had a pretty good foundation in forging. However, he had never compared himself to others, so he had no idea how good he was.

"Mm, after this competition, I can also have a more detailed understanding of the other Inscription Masters." Qin Yun nodded.

For the next two days, Qin Yun practiced smelting spirit iron.

In the process of smelting iron spirits, ordinary iron ore would first be placed into a furnace with alchemy carvings on it. The engraver itself had to unleash fire and then he would take out the burning iron ore and repeatedly hit it with a hammer.

During the forging process, the impurities would be removed and the inner strength would be impregnated to forge spirit iron.

The thousand Jin iron ore needed to be refined into an iron ingot the size of a thumb. This was the standard for the size of spirit iron that had been passed down since ancient times.

Qin Yun had struck many of the Iron Spirits in the Divine Inscription Palace long ago. Finally, he fused the spirit iron with the demon beast bones and forged them into high-tier bone steel.

To an Inscription Master, alchemy and forging were skills they had to master.

"The heavier the iron bars are at the same size, the higher the quality of the bars. The Alchemy Competition must be based on this standard, right?" Qin Yun weighed the Iron Spirit ingot he had made. A small piece weighs over ten pounds. It weighed two to three pounds heavier than the Iron ingots he had bought at the Divine Inscription Palace.

After two days of practicing blacksmithing, his confidence increased slightly. With the Purple-Gold Flame, he could also improve a lot when smelting metals.

The Divine Inscription Palace was bathed in the warm morning sun.

A new day has arrived. Today was the day of the Alchemy Competition once a decade. The day will be held!

Inside the dignified and solemn hall, over fifty Inscription Masters stood neatly lined up.

They are all inscriptionists from several countries and most of them are parents. There were only about a dozen middle-aged people and none of them were young.

The Inscriptionists were usually very arrogant but when they arrived at the Divine Inscription Palace, their arrogance was pulled back.

The Alchemy Competition held once every ten years was extremely important to them. If they could get first place, not only would they gain more fame, they would also receive a reward. The gift that even the Inscription Master would take seriously was simply incredible! Especially this year, it was said that the Blue Spirit Star Palace would send someone to participate!

"I think there are more than 20 Inscriptionists in the Blue Spirit Star Palace." An old man said in a low voice.

"Not much! It seemed like the Blue Spirit Star Palace was the same. There are only 20 people in the entire Star Palace?" The other old man disagreed.

Master Wei said sneeringly, "The ones sent by the Blue Spirit Star Palace to participate in the Alchemy Competition are all between twenty and thirty years old! How many young inscription experts in our country? Not one!"

Not a single one?

This caused all the middle-aged and old Inscriptionists to suddenly feel a huge difference in strength!

"Because of that, we can't lose to those youngsters. That would be so embarrassing!" A black-clothed elder laughed.

The Blue Spirit Star Palace Inscription Master has arrived!

A group of people walked in a majestic manner and were all dressed in blue.

Although they were all expressionless, their arrogance was clearly displayed.

On the other hand, an older man looked at Master Wei with a smile and nodded.

Master Wei also walked over with a smile and greeted Zhang Xuan with a polite greeting.

Everyone was secretly envious and jealous when they saw how good his relationship with the people from Blue Spirit Star Palace was.

Master Wei looked at a young man who was around seventeen or eighteen years old and said with a smile, "I suspect that this is the genius of the Nangong Clan in the inscription, Liang Shuijin? To be able to become a Master Inscription Master at nineteen, that was truly awesome! Today, I was lucky to finally be able to see Young Swordsman Liang in person. He was actually very handsome and had a tremendous influence. He really deserves his reputation!"

Liang Shuijin smiled, full of pride, and replied, "Master Wei is also an inscriptionist that many elders admire. I've heard a lot about him."

As they chatted, Master Wei suddenly saw Qin Yun enter. Soon, his smile froze.

"Isn't that Qin Yun?" When an old inscription master saw Qin Yun, he shouted in shock.

Everyone immediately turned to look at the door, and when seeing a handsome gray-robed young man enter, the hall immediately fell silent.
