Chapter 45 I like this selection

  Jin Jiu, who was shocked in his heart, carefully observed the expressions of Sun Hao and Kong Fang again, and the conclusion he came to was no different from before. "Sun Hao's junior brother might have really heard what Lan'er and the others said."

  Jin Jiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "He is Sun Hao's junior brother, yet his strength is stronger than Sun Hao?" Jin Jiu was puzzled in her heart, suddenly, she thought of a possibility, "Perhaps these two entered Huo Yun Hall at the same time, but Sun Hao's refining level is higher, so he became the senior brother."

  To clarify whether Kong Fang really heard the conversation between Wei Shou and Zhao Bingxue, Jin Jiu hesitated for a moment before asking: "Sun Hao, did you and your fellow disciples enter Huoyun Hall at the same time?"

  Although Jinjiu was dissatisfied with many of the inner disciples of Qizong for wasting their materials and occasionally complaining and gossiping behind their backs, if they were heard by someone from Qizong, it wouldn't be good. Qizong is much stronger than Lanchengmen, and the refining abilities of Qizong's disciples are also extremely high. If all the Qizong disciples boycott them because of this matter and no longer accept tasks issued by Lanchengmen, then in the future, when they want to refine some treasure, they will have reached a point where there is no one to find, unless they are willing to pay a greater price to go further away to find Qizong.

  But if the Azure Central Gate really dares to do this, they must move their sect away from here, otherwise, it won't be far from extinction. The Instrument Sect became the overlord of this tens of thousands of miles radius not by relying on its powerful artifact refinement abilities, but by relying on absolute strength that was fought for.

  Sun Hao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Kong Fang is a junior fellow apprentice who became an inner disciple half a year ago, two years later than me."

  Jin Jiu's heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat unbelievable. "Two years younger than Sun Hao to become an inner disciple, yet his strength is actually stronger than Sun Hao's. How can there be such a person?"

  Jinjiu was very familiar with the various rules of Qizong, and knew that the inner disciples could only get the two-star soul refining method at first. The same soul refining method, one person who had only cultivated for less than half a year actually surpassed someone who had been cultivating for more than two years. Jinjiu felt that this shouldn't have happened, but from the performance of the two people just now, it seemed that this impossible thing had already occurred.

  It's better for Jiǔ to stop asking questions now, or else he'll be prying into other people's secrets.

  But thinking of Wei Shou and Zhao Bingxue, Jin Jiu's heart was slightly angry again. Even if he was dissatisfied with the people of Qi Zong, he couldn't say it in such a close place. If the other party heard it, there might be trouble.

  "You two, stop talking nonsense. That Kong Fang is not weak, I'm worried that he heard what you just said. From now on, be more careful, if you dare to speak recklessly again, go back to your master." Jin Jiu's voice was slightly angry as he transmitted his rebuke.

  Zhao Binglan and Wei Shou, who were catching up from behind, suddenly stopped in their tracks, their faces simultaneously revealing a hint of surprise.

  "How could he have heard......" Wei Shou was somewhat incredulous.

  But before Wei Shou could finish speaking, Zhao Binglan immediately stopped him: "Since Master Jin has said so, it must be true, let's not say more."

  "Hmph." Wei Shou let out a cold snort from his nose, his eyes turning somewhat chilly, but he didn't say anything else.

  Following Jin Jiu, the crowd arrived at a refining room made of cold and desolate stone. This refining room was different from the one in Huo Yun Hall, as there were no formations or earth fire here.

  Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, only the location where the Qi gathers has strong fire energy, while other places do not have strong fire energy, and naturally cannot generate earth fire.

  Entering the refining room, Jin Jiu took off an unclaimed storage ring from his finger and handed it to Sun Hao, saying: "This is the material we prepared for this time's refining of Quanlingbao and the three grades of postnatal spiritual treasure. You choose what you can use."

  No one claimed ownership of the storage ring, so Sun Hao's consciousness immediately entered the storage ring to start selecting the materials he needed.

  Sun Hao this time although only need to refine three pieces of lower-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasures, but one of them is a protective armor, so the required materials are not few, and in order to be on the safe side, Sun Hao also selected some extra materials, so that even if there are some mistakes during the refining process, causing damage to the materials, new materials can still be used for continued refining.

  One by one, the materials appeared on the ground made of cold and gloomy stone. Looking at these materials, the three people from Blue Central Gate felt a slight heartache in their hearts. They knew that it wasn't easy for them to find these materials either, yet they were being wasted by these two extremely young Qi Refining disciples right before their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel reluctant.

  However, after Sun Hao finished selecting, the three of them found that the materials he chose were not much better than the ones they had refined into the three inferior pieces of Tianling Treasure. Jin Jiu and Zhao Binglan couldn't help but pause, exchanging a strange glance at Sun Hao, while Wei Shou sneered inwardly, thinking that Sun Hao was doing this on purpose.

  "Hmph, now it seems like you're not choosing many materials, but later on, once you've refined them, you'll find an excuse to come back and ask for more from us. I've seen this play before. However... since you dare to be so arrogant, I'll block your way." Wei Shou thought quickly and immediately spoke up: "Sun Daoist, with just these few materials, can..."

  "Defend."

  Jian Wei continued speaking, and a hint of anger flashed in Jin Jiu's eyes. "Have you forgotten what I said?" Jin Jiu's voice was somewhat low and subdued.

  It's possible that one of the disciples of the Qizong sect overheard the conversation between Wei Shou and Zhao Binglan earlier, so how can Jin Jiu still let Wei Shou speak out of turn? If he really angers those two, who knows what they'll say about Lan Zhongmen when they return to the Qizong sect. Although Lan Zhongmen isn't afraid of these two insignificant characters, he still has to consider their background.

  "What does Weidao have to say that can be said directly?" Kong Fang suddenly said coldly from the side, who had been silent all along.

  Jin Jiu's eyes narrowed, and in an instant, he confirmed his previous speculation. "This disciple named Kong Fang must have overheard what Lan'er and the others said; otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken up at this time."

  Jin Jiu was worried that Wei Shou would say something inappropriate again, so he hastily sent a warning: "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise you'll bring trouble upon yourself." Jin Jiu was really angry now. He had originally thought highly of Wei Shou, but who knew that Wei Shou would cause him trouble time and time again today.

  "Two inner disciples can't control me, the Blue Central Gate, why should I be afraid of them?" Wei's heart was somewhat disdainful, but with Jin Jiu's warning, he didn't dare to speak recklessly again.

  Wei Shou was about to say, 'Just choosing these few materials can refine three lower-grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasures, the refining ability is definitely very strong. Definitely won't choose more materials.' To block Sun Hao's possible request for more materials later on.

  However, at this time Wei Shou could only remove the sentence behind and only said the previous words. The words that blocked Sun Hao's retreat suddenly became flattering words.

  Jin Jiu let out a slight sigh of relief, but found that the one called Kong Fang gave Wei Shou a cold glance.

  Sun Hao had no idea what just happened, so he smiled and humbly responded to Wei Shou's compliment. But this made Wei Shou's expression look as if he had swallowed a fly.

  "Junior brother, you choose the materials for refining the Quasi-Spiritual Treasure." Sun Hao handed over the storage ring in his hand to Kong Fang.

  Kong Fang took over the storage ring, and with a thought, a pile of materials appeared on the ground, forming a small mountain. With so many materials, it was not just enough to refine eight quasi-spiritual treasures, but even eighty pieces would be more than sufficient.

  Jin Jiu's facial muscles twitched, "He won't really use that many materials, will he? Forget it, just consider it an apology for what happened before. As long as they don't go back and spread rumors, let this guy Kong Fang waste his resources once."

  Zhao Binglan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the small mountain of materials, then looked again at Kong Fang, who had a serious expression on his face. She felt her mind getting slightly confused.

  Weiguard's expression twitched and his eyes became even colder.

  Even Sun Hao looked at Kong Fang with some surprise, unable to understand why Kong Fang only refined eight quasi-spiritual treasures and yet had so many materials.

  Kong Fang and Jin Jiu were taken aback for a moment, then calmly said: "I like to select materials in this way, I hope Senior Jin won't mind."

  "Cough...cough..."
