The Lightning Driver
Chapters. 12. Refining
All the spectators were calmly looking forward to the final fight, a sense of enthusiasm was seen on every face. Yep! Any excitement is uninteresting if it hasn't gone into peak excitement.
The final match that brought together the two best talents of the younger generation from two different families of Xia Yu City was extremely rare.
A match like this can only be expected every four years. In a few breaths, the Patriarch of the Xia Family darted over the arena and asked the two participants to climb onto the arena. He repeated the basic rule explanation.
In this final, both Zhang Ceng and Jin Tengsin both pulled out swords. They wanted to entertain the audience with their respective Sword Science demonstrations. Pride was clearly visible on the faces of the two, today the main stage belonged to both of them.
“Brother Zhang! See sword!” jin Tengsin's shout sounded, he immediately attacked nimbly.
Not staying silent, Zhang Ceng parried with a sword. The battle between the two of them went on exciting and balanced cultivation levels they both also balanced. This fight is really a battle of endurance and agile fighting.
Zhang Ceng took out his swordsmanship. The swordsmanship of the Zhang Family was called the Science of the Undying Sword, consisting of fifteen styles. Without a form based on the sudden motion of the cobra pecking, so did the sword while fending off the sudden stabbing.
Every accurate and accurate moves, Sword Science Without Form is a change from the Science of Shooting Skips Cobra. Every movement of the hand was changed in the style of a sword, each punch turning into a deadly utterance at each point that became the target.
Indeed, every word of theirs is friendly in the mouth, but in reality each of these Great Families has its own ambitions and desires. So even in this fight, both Zhang Ceng and Jin Tengsin were equally ferocious, and there was no holding back.
The Martial Arts Sword Technique moved in all directions. Things became very troublesome for Jin Tengsin. The squeeze of energy in and every Sword Science style was changed. His sword formed sword shadows in all directions.
Anyone who fights will be confused where the real sword is, and where the fake sword, the Jin Family Sword Science, is famous for the Shadow Sword Science. In each sword shadow, the original sword was stored.
From the beginning, Jin Tengsin's movements were more violent and cruel, and Jin Tengsin's endurance was stronger than Zhang Ceng's.
After a hundred thunderous battle moves and sword intents that spread everywhere, a streak of sweat had also started to fall from the two. Jin Tengsin's breathing was slightly more regular, when compared to Zhang Ceng's.
“Alright! Now try brother Zhang feel my punch.” The wolf's grin was clearly visible on his face.
Without waiting for Zhang Ceng's reply, Jin Tengsin moved and hit hard, Zhang Ceng did not stay silent. He also deflated his inner strength, violently resisted.
It is common knowledge of fighters, that every hard-fought battle with hard, must have caused both of them to be injured. They were both thrown two spears backward, fighting a balanced inner power.
But, blood melts and pale faces were drawn on Zhang Ceng's face, his endurance losing to Jin Tengsin.
Patriarch of the Xia Family as the jury stopped the fight and Jin Tengsin was declared the winner of the competition as well as providing little treatment to Zhang Ceng.
“Congratulations to brother Jin as the champion of this competition,” said Zhang Ceng.
“The Zhang family is all talented seedlings, no need for pills for realm promotion! Ha ha ha!.” continued Zhang Ceng, a little angry and covering up the shame of defeat by laughing loudly.
“Lose yes lose, don't need many reasons,” a short speech from Jin Tengsin. He did not care about Zhang Ceng then continued to dart away from the arena

The organizing committee announced that the auction would be held three days later.
“Murong Sister! What are the special provisions to participate in the auction?” Gou Long asked Murong Qiu.
His breathing and facial features had already looked better after nearly six more incense cultivates recovered, the fight and the final furore had been ignored.
“Brother Gou wants to participate in the auction, huh?” reply Murong Qiu.
“Wah! I don't have an invitation card, either .. It's impossible for me to show you the amount of my wealth,” thought Gou Long.
“If we can auction something decent according to the auction house, then it can automatically participate in the auction,” Murong Qiu said, breaking the issue in Gou Long's mind.
“What is brother Gou daydreaming right? Really you want to look around the auction?” Murong Qiu railed against Gou Long with various questions. Though Gou Long had not said anything, but Murong Qiu had already spoken at length.
“Iya! It is not enough if you are not present to the auction,” replied Gou Long.
“Long Gege! We will participate too, grandfather get two invitation cards from the City Lord.” Hua Mei suddenly spoke.
“Really!” Gou Long tried to make sure, but then it occurred to him that the two invitation cards were for Zhou grandfather and his grandson.
“Already! Forgetit! Gege will focus on self-healing only.” Gou Long ended the conversation faintly.

In the City Lord Mansion, Gou Long again locked himself inside the room, this time no one dared to disturb, let alone with a pale face from deep wounds.
Gou Long's desire to look around the auction became immense, arguing that he could recover freely in space.
This time, he was going to do a pill refining/mercuring with the Alchemy Technique. He intended to concoct the Condensate Pill. Indeed this Condensate Pill was a very common pill, what distinguished it was only the quality and realm of the pill itself.
For example; the pill that became the reward of the silat competition, the Earth realm Condensate Pill of high quality. The pill became extremely valuable to Late Stage King realm Cultivators in order to be able to promote to the Earth Realm.
Likewise with the King realm Condensate Pill, be it high quality or low quality, the King realm Pill would be very useful for Warrior realm Cultivators for promotion to the King realm. In essence, this Condensate Pill, is a very common pill is also very much needed.
Well in this case, Gou long was clearly a Sky Sphere Alchemist. He would concoct a low quality Sky Level Condensate Pill.
The plan, this pill would later be used as an auction material in Xia Yu City. He had not thought for the price, Gou long was just thinking for the feasibility of the pill being accepted by the auction house or not.
Gou long took out an Alchemy pot, then painted a non-permanent flame Array on the floor of the room. He also prepared the main ingredients of Condensate Pills, indeed these ingredients were not difficult for him.
The contents of his universe ring were incredible. It has been explained, that the universe ring belonging to Gou Long is different from the other universe rings.
The most distinctive feature of the other universe rings will destroy the materials and goods in it if it has crossed hundreds of years. Gou Long's universe ring won't damage anything stored in it for thousands of years.
Recently Gou Long also realized, this ring can hide any goods that are powered in the lightning element so that the item is not detected.
Gou Long arranged the order of the pill ingredients, there were thousand year ginseng roots, demon essence crystals, white lotus juice and snake bark.
He also arranged the other ingredients as much as ten ingredients for three tries.
Gou Long took a deep breath then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and gathered some spirit. A few breaths, the movements of his hands changed to form strange Array seals. The squeaky sound and silvery color are created. He threw all the materials at once without being separated.
Back his hand moved agilely as the silvery flame lit up, the Alchemy pot swirled, trembling. Gou Long's hand continued to move in order to set the pattern and array, controlling the pot of his hand motion like an agile and beautiful butterfly. It's easy to tell, but hard to practice.
Gou Long spent five hours on the first try, which was a pity. The concoction failed on this experiment.
