Chapter 1327 - 1326: Sore Loser
"Hahaha..."
The three clowns laughed madly.
Even Gao Si joined in with a strange laugh.
Honestly, they had never seen someone act so pretentious.
Zhang Bin had a wicked smile, thinking to himself that he finally won and could win a precious treasure from him. If he asked for his Gold Spirit, would he give it? Or would he turn hostile and gang up on him?
Qi Duo Tian Gong finally brought his gaze back from the white clouds in the sky and cast it on the sword in his hand.
Then he froze like an idiot, how could this be possible?
How could this be?
It was my sword that broke, and my sword was an incredibly sharp high-grade magical artifact!
How could a high-grade magical artifact not cut through an ordinary weapon?
Isn’t this defying the rules of artifact refining?
"Head of Qi Sect, now, tell me, who exactly won?"
Zhang Bin asked with an evil smile.
"How on earth did you do it?"
Head of Qi Sect didn’t answer Zhang Bin’s question but instead jumped up to ask.
His two eyes shot out a burning light as he grabbed towards the knife in Zhang Bin’s hand like lightning.
He was actually trying to seize Zhang Bin’s little knife.
Apparently, he wanted to carefully examine what secrets the knife held to be so sharp?
Unfortunately, as Zhang Bin’s mind moved, his knife disappeared like ghostly spirits.
Qi Duo Tian Gong grabbed at nothing.
"Take out the knife, immediately! Or I’ll be rude to you."
Qi Duo Tian Gong roared in anger.
A terrifying oppression and aura erupted from him.
How powerful and esteemed he was in the Xuanwu Empire?
Having seen such a miraculous little knife, he, of course, wanted to study it thoroughly.
That would greatly benefit and help his artifact refining.
"Give me the wager first, then be polite, and maybe you can have a look. This knife is my peak creation, with incredibly miraculous secrets of artifact refining, ones you wouldn’t dare dream of."
Zhang Bin said in a serious manner.
In fact, this little knife just had a Level Two Sharpness Formation set on it.
As for the material, of course, it was ordinary steel.
So, this little knife would quickly break down into dust.
The knife’s value lied in the Level Two Sharpness Formation inside.
Considered a lower-level Immortal Array.
Not comparable to formations in the Mundane Realm.
"Who said you won? I won!"
Qi Duo Tian Gong sneered and said, "Because there’s no way you forged that knife yourself. But I did forge my sword, you’re cheating."
"Are you going to shamelessly deny it?"
Zhang Bin’s expression turned sour, and his eyes shot out an icy light.
At this moment, he was angry.
"I, the Great Refinement Grandmaster Qi Duo Tian Gong, how could I cheat?" A crafty look appeared on Qi Duo Tian Gong’s face. "As long as you forge a knife on the spot to prove that it was made by you, then we can compete again. The loser must hand over their most precious treasure."
He was indeed too crafty!
If Zhang Bin failed to forge a good knife, he would win.
He could win Zhang Bin’s knife and study it thoroughly,
and naturally uncover its secrets.
If Zhang Bin forged a good knife, he could learn the artifact refining secrets from Zhang Bin’s process, and then refine a knife using Zhang Bin’s methods, surely surpassing it.
Thus, he would still win.
Trying to take advantage of Qi Duo Tian Gong, how could it be possible?
"Hahaha... The Sect Master is truly formidable, simply too clever."
𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"This youth is too naive, how could he win a bet with the Sect Master?"
"Surely this youth will lose everything, even his pants."
"..."
All the Refining Grandmasters laughed strangely together.
"Damn, this bastard is so crafty? But he also makes a good point."
The three clowns and Gao Si and the White Crane all whispered in their hearts.
They also turned their eyes to Zhang Bin, wanting to see how he would respond.
Knowing that Zhang Bin had already succeeded, potentially winning the opponent’s most precious treasure—the Gold Spirit.
But now the opponent had a reasonable excuse for being shameless, which felt very frustrating.
"Let’s both forge a knife, then compete with them..."
Zhang Bin’s anger faded, and an evil grin appeared on his face.
It seemed he had some wicked idea again.
"Forge simultaneously? Then I just need to be a bit slower than him, and I can still use his method to create an even sharper knife, and my artifact refining skills will improve immensely."
Qi Duo Tian Gong showed a conspiratorial smile, but said, "That’s fair, remember, the loser must not deny it, a bastard if they do."
And his greedy gaze was already cast on the White Crane.
It was truly a fine steed.
"Damn it... thinking about claiming me? Underestimating my master? Haven’t you seen that I underestimated my master and got defeated by him in one move, being soul-controlled? I will be his steed for life! Hmm, I guess your end won’t be good." The White Crane coldly chuckled inwardly, casting a sympathetic look at Qi Duo Tian Gong.
"Senior Apprentice, the King of Gamblers, surely has a way to deal with this shameless Sect Master. The Gold Spirit is as good as ours!"
The three clowns whispered excitedly in their hearts.
They had immense confidence in Zhang Bin.
"Sect Master, I suggest you sign a contract. This way, regardless of any excuse, neither party can go back on their word."
A Refining Grandmaster chimed in flatteringly.
"Yes, yes, sign a contract, this is no trivial matter."
The remaining Refining Grandmasters echoed in agreement.
Clearly, they believed there was no way Qi Duo Tian Gong would lose.
"Zhang Bin, what do you think?"
Qi Duo Tian Gong wasn’t worried about Zhang Bin denying it, with so many experts present.
So he just asked lightly.
"Let’s sign a contract then."
Zhang Bin wore a peculiar smile.
Soon, they had the contract signed, each keeping a copy.
Without specifying what precious treasures the loser should surrender.
Zhang Bin didn’t want to alert the fox.
Otherwise, the old fox like Qi Duo Tian Gong would surely become wary.
"We can begin."
Zhang Bin said lightly.
"Yes, we can begin."
Qi Duo Tian Gong smiled slyly but didn’t move.
Waiting for Zhang Bin to start.
Zhang Bin’s gaze fell on a nearby Large Tree, smiling and saying, "Is this an Iron Tree? The material is very hard?"
"Could it be that the Iron Tree has some special benefit for artifact refining?"
Qi Duo Tian Gong pondered excitedly in his heart, nodding without hesitation, "Correct, yes, a 3,500-year-old Iron Tree, the material is quite hard."
Can’t blame him for thinking this way.
As a Great Refinement Grandmaster, he naturally knew many mystical methods and miraculous recipes for refining.
Certain inconspicuous materials mixed together could possess magical abilities.
Creating incredibly powerful magical treasures isn’t impossible.
So, he had conducted countless experiments.
However, he hadn’t tried using Iron Trees.
After all, Iron Trees were just a type of wood.
They couldn’t be fused with metals.
"That’s good."
Zhang Bin smiled wickedly, then used his Telekinesis Ability to form a sharp blade and chopped off a section of the twig with a crisp sound, before pulling that twig over.
"Just as I thought."
Qi Duo Tian Gong was extremely excited and immediately copied him, also taking a section of the twig.
All the Refining Grandmasters excitedly watched silently.
Their eyes widened, trying not to miss any breathtaking moment.
You must know, this was a competition between two Great Refinement Grandmasters.
