Chapter 484: Chapter 227: Turning the Tide, Ten Thousand Bow in Gratitude!

"What?"

Ao Langtian was the first to stand up with a swish.

In a flash, he appeared beside the middle-aged scholar.

As for Ao Xuan, who was also in front of the middle-aged scholar, he seemed completely agitated at this moment.

For a while, he didn’t even speak.

Then, as if he finally understood the news, his face first turned bright red, and then blue and white.

His eyes became bloodshot.

"Impossible!!"

Ao Xuan shouted, "He didn’t even know the basics of refining and forging just now, how could he achieve such a high purity!"

The middle-aged scholar glanced at Ao Xuan with displeasure, then handed the materials to Ao Langtian.

"Fellow Daoist Ao, you’re also skilled in artifact refining, why not take a look for yourself."

Ao Langtian had the same intention, reaching out to take the materials from the middle-aged scholar’s hand.

At this moment, Yu Changge’s voice also spoke out.

"Fellow Daoist Chen and others already announced the results after examining it. Fellow Daoist Ao, don’t ruin the materials or do anything tricky.

Don’t treat everyone here like fools."

As soon as Yu Changge said this, Ao Langtian let out a light snort.

Meanwhile, Ge Liuyang and the others had expressions of joy on their faces, looking at Chu Ning who stood there calmly and confidently.

In their hearts, they were all rejoicing.

That Chu Ning was able to refine materials with such high purity.

This completely exceeded everyone’s expectations in the Jiuhua Sect.

Even after seeing Chu Ning becoming more proficient with the Nine Luo Refining Essence Method,

no one imagined that Chu Ning could refine materials to such a high purity.

Especially after the middle-aged scholar Chen announced the results, everyone had resigned to the outcome.

But the middle-aged scholar’s words gave everyone a sense of disbelief.

So even until now, no cheers or applause erupted on the scene.

Because most of the Jiuhua Sect members still couldn’t quite believe it.

Even Lu Jiakang at this moment was gaping, not yet comprehending the situation.

"No way? Junior Brother Chu actually achieved a purity of ninety-eight percent, surpassing Ao Xuan.

This is unbelievable!"

In the quiet atmosphere, Ao Langtian finally finished examining the materials in the middle-aged scholar Chen’s hand.

The next moment, his gaze was fixed tightly on Chu Ning.

"Well! Well! I, Mr. Ao, really underestimated you."

Ao Langtian’s words undoubtedly confirmed the results announced by the middle-aged scholar Chen just now.

"Boom!!!"

Immediately, cheers erupted within the arena, with the Jiuhua Sect disciples who were once doubtful now exploding into unprecedented applause.

The roar was even more magnificent than when Chu Ning just won in alchemy.

The mighty cheer surged like a tidal wave, reaching up to the clouds of Jiuhua Peak!

"We won! Master Chu actually won the artifact refining competition!"

"Four rounds, we’ve already won four, just like the Daluo Sect!"

The eyes of the Jiuhua Sect disciples turned blazing hot, feeling for the first time today.

Jiuhua Sect has hope of winning!!

Even though Yu Changge had lifted everyone’s spirits before the competition,

everyone still felt anxious inside.

After Lu Jiakang and Yuan Rongzhang suffered continuous losses, everyone felt victory was just a luxury.

But the sect’s lifelong advocacy for perseverance kept them hoping for a miracle.

And now, as Chu Ning consecutively won in alchemy and artifact refining, they finally saw a glimmer of victory in the competition.

Lu Jiakang and Yuan Rongzhang, who had just finished adjusting their breathing, were undoubtedly the most excited.

Since Chu Ning completed the Nine Luo Refining Essence Method competition, Elder Peng had also lifted the isolation shield.

"Senior Brother Chu!"

Both showed expressions of immense excitement, unsure of what to say.

As they thought of what to say next, they found no opportunity as Yu Changge and Ge Liuyang approached Chu Ning.

Yu Changge immediately used telepathy to speak:

"Chu Ning, you’ve just emerged from secluded cultivation without time to prepare any magical treasures. Junior Brother Ge and I have prepared a few magical treasures here.

Let me briefly introduce them, and you can choose one."

Although Yu Changge knew that even if Chu Ning received a magical treasure now, it would be hard to wield its true power without time to familiarize himself with it,

it was a necessary approach.

They had indeed prepared several magical treasures, but as Chu Ning had not emerged before, they had no chance to offer him choices.

Chu Ning shook his head and communicated to Yu Changge through telepathy:

"No need, Sect Leader, I have my own."

He didn’t know what magical treasures Yu Changge and Ge Liuyang prepared, but he thought they wouldn’t be as handy as the Double Fire Ring.

In that case, there was no need for Chu Ning to ask for more.

Yu Changge nodded slightly at these words and said no more.

He vaguely guessed that since Chu Ning had previously obtained an alchemy technique from an Ancient Sect, he might have acquired other treasures.

Realizing something too, Ao Langtian immediately urged:

"Fellow Daoist Peng, isn’t it time to start the next round of competition?"

Elder Peng nodded slightly upon hearing this and then looked to Yu Changge:

"Sect Leader Yu, what do you think?"

"Let Fellow Daoist Peng make arrangements," Yu Changge said, flashing back to his own seat.

If Chu Ning had accepted their magical treasure, Yu Changge would have bought more time,

giving Chu Ning time to handle and briefly familiarize himself with it.

But since Chu Ning needed no such treasures, Yu Changge saw no need to delay.
