Three days later, someone suddenly knocked on Yang Li's door. Yang Li immediately opened his eyes and used his Divine Sense to explore. He found that it was a maid, so he calmly asked, "What's the matter?"
"Young Master, the gathering will begin at night. Please don't forget it." The maid's voice was soft.
"I know. You can go." Yang Li said casually.
"Yes." The maid didn't hesitate too much. After she finished speaking, she walked to the next courtyard and informed him as usual.
Yang Li thought for a while, then stood up and walked out. The gathering would begin at night. During the day, there might be some people wandering around in the courtyard. Yang Li went out to see if he could meet Yu Tian. After all, Yu Tian had also received an invitation.
Yang Li's idea was right. There were indeed many people in the courtyard, but there were no familiar faces. After looking around, Yang Li simply stopped looking and began to listen to the conversations of the people on both sides.
At this time, the people in the courtyard were talking about all kinds of things. Some were talking about refining, some were talking about the situation of the continent, some were talking about the Blacksmith Union's conference, and some were talking about which famous young refiners from the four seas would be attending tonight.
When Yang Li heard the last thing that people talked about, he couldn't help but be interested. After all, he was going to attend the gathering soon. It was naturally good to know more people.
"I heard that Chu Yu is going to attend the gathering tonight!"
"Chu Yu? You mean the genius refiner in the Western Region? "
"Yes, I heard that he is only 27 years old now, but he can already refine semi-magic treasures! And some people said that he came this time to win the championship of the Young Refiners Competition organized by the Alchemy League. "
"Although Chu Yu is a genius, he may not be able to win the championship, right? Isn't there a Han Shen in the Central Region? I heard that he can also forge semi-magical weapons! "
"Haa, although Han Shen is powerful, he doesn't have a Conflagrated Knowledge Sea, so his Artifact Refining speed is much slower than Chu Yu's. If the two of them compete, Chu Yu will definitely win!"
"That's true, but I don't know if Han Shen will attend the gathering tonight. If he attends, he can witness the glory of the top two in advance!"
"As long as Chu Yu participates, Han Shen will definitely participate! Needless to say, the two of them have been fighting for the title of number one among the young refiners recently. But I heard that Gu Qi from your Eastern Domain is also coming today? "
"Yes, Gu Qi is coming. But it seems like the Southern Territory doesn't have any outstanding geniuses like in previous years."
"That seems to be the case. The West Domain has Chu Yu, the Central Domain has Han Shen, the East Domain has Gu Qi, and the North Domain has someone called Dong something?"
"Are you talking about Dong Cheng?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Dong Cheng. Although Dong Cheng and Gu Qi can't compare to Chu Yu and Han Shen, they are much stronger than us!"
"So the Southern Territory really doesn't have any famous geniuses. It's really a pity that such a large territory doesn't have any particularly powerful geniuses in the Martial Dao, and there aren't any outstanding candidates in Alchemy or Artifact Refining."
"You can't say that. Some time ago, I heard that there was a genius in the Southern Territory who had outstanding talent in both Artifact Refining and Martial Dao. Later, for some reason, he was hunted down by all the major forces in the Southern Territory."
"Oh? You mean that guy called Yang Li? "
"Yes, I heard that he also has a Conflagrated Knowledge Sea, and has comprehended the Space Law at the Seventh Stage. I wonder if he will attend the gathering this time."
"I don't think so. There are only three people who received an invitation from the Southern Territory. One is Yu Ziyi, one is Huo Anping, and the last one is Senior Mo Liangzhe."
"That's hard to say. That Yang Li became famous because of the Artifact Refining Grand Competition organized by Senior Mo's Pill-Tool Union. Maybe Senior Mo will give an invitation to that Yang Li."
"Who cares? Even if he comes, I don't think he will have any great achievements. After all, he could only refine Profound Grade weapons two years ago. No matter how talented he is, in two years, he can at most refine Earth Grade weapons, right?!"
When Yang Li heard the two people talking about him, he smiled but didn't say anything. Using strength to prove himself was the best choice. Wasting words with others was obviously not a wise choice, and it would only lower his intelligence for no reason. However, the Yu Ziyi that these two people talked about piqued Yang Li's interest.
Because he remembered that the Southern Territory only received an invitation from Yu Tian and Huo Anping. The appearance of this Yu Ziyi was very strange.
While Yang Li was thinking, he suddenly heard a clear and melodious female voice coming from the side of the two people.
"Who said that Yang Li can only refine Earth Grade weapons?!"
Yang Li didn't intend to pay attention to the other side, but someone stood up for him. This made him look over in surprise. He found that it was a woman. The woman looked sweet and sweet, with some baby fat on her face. She looked quite cute. Her long black hair was tied behind her back, and she was wearing a white robe.
After seeing the woman, Yang Li was a little confused because he had never seen this woman before. However, he didn't say anything and quietly watched the three people talking.
"Who are you?" One of the two people asked curiously.
"I'm Yu Ziyi!" The woman said a little angrily.
"Miss Yu, nice to meet you. May I know why Miss Yu is questioning our words? Could it be that Yang Li can refine higher grade weapons? "One person asked doubtfully.
"Nonsense! A year ago, Yang Li could already refine Earth Grade weapons, let alone now! He can definitely refine Heaven Grade weapons now! "Yu Ziyi said proudly.
"Miss, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Two years ago, Yang Li could only refine Profound Grade weapons. Isn't it a little too unrealistic to want to refine Heaven Grade weapons in two years? Even Chu Yu and Han Shen couldn't be so exaggerated, right? "
"This …" Yu Ziyi was a little speechless. Advancing once a year was indeed a little unbelievable. No one would believe it. Even she was a little skeptical about whether Yang Li could really refine Heaven Grade weapons.
Seeing that Yu Ziyi didn't say anything, the two people laughed and ignored her, minding their own business.
Yu Ziyi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Yang Li knew that he had to go. After all, they were standing up for him. If he didn't do anything from the beginning to the end, he wouldn't be a man.
Thinking of this, Yang Li smiled and walked towards Yu Ziyi, saying, "Miss Yu, I'm Yang Li. May I know why you trust me so much?"
Yu Ziyi's eyes lit up when she saw Yang Li. Then she remembered what she had just said to the two men and asked, "Yang Li, can you refine Heaven Grade weapons?"
Yang Li nodded and said with a smile, "Of course I can."
Yu Ziyi immediately became excited. She turned to the two men and said, "See, I told you that Yang Li can refine Heaven Grade weapons!"
While Yang Li was talking to Yu Ziyi, the two men had already turned their heads. Hearing that Yang Li could refine Heaven Grade weapons, the two men laughed disdainfully, "Don't brag too much and it will be broken! Leave some leeway for your words! "
Seeing this, Yang Li looked at the two of them with interest and said, "Since the two of you don't believe me, how about this? The Great Competition is going to be held in the Weapon City and I, Yang Li, will naturally participate. If I manage to forge a Heavenly Rank Weapon, the two of you will personally apologize to Miss Yu."
The two men looked at each other, then looked toward Yang Li and said, "What if you can't refine Heaven Grade weapons?"
Yang Li smiled and took out a Cosmos Bag, saying, "If I, Yang Li, can't refine Heaven Grade weapons, I'll give the ten million high-grade spirit stones in this Cosmos Bag to you two, how about it?"
Hearing this, the two men's eyes lit up. This was a profitable deal. If they lost, they would just have to apologize, but if they won, they would earn ten million high-grade spirit stones! Thinking of this, the two men directly agreed. They thought to themselves, "You're just pretending to be Fatso. If you can't refine Heaven Grade weapons in two years, you'll lose a lot of face!"
"Even if you have a Conflagrated Knowledge Sea and are extremely talented, you can't do it!" The two men thought.
However, Yang Li didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion. After making the bet with the two men, he looked at Yu Ziyi and said, "Miss, have you seen me before?"
Yu Ziyi blushed and murmured, "I'm Yu Tian …"
"What?!!" Yang Li was stunned. He never expected that Yu Ziyi was actually Yu Tian!
Yu Ziyi saw Yang Li's reaction and her face became even redder, saying, "When I participated in the Pill-Tool Union's competition, my master forced me to disguise myself as a man, saying that he was afraid people would say that I went through the back door …"
Yang Li's expression suddenly became very interesting. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but then he remembered that when he participated in the Great Competition, Yu Tian looked thin and small like a girl. Comparing it with the current Yu Tian, he accepted this fact.
"Miss Yu, you've hidden yourself … really well!" Yang Li smiled bitterly. In fact, he had already seen Yu Ziyi when he arrived, but he didn't know that Yu Ziyi was Yu Tian, so he didn't pay much attention to it and just strolled around.
If he had known Yu Ziyi's true identity earlier, Yang Li wouldn't have wandered around here for so long, and the incident just now wouldn't have happened.
Afterward, Yang Li and Yu Ziyi chatted while waiting for the evening gathering to begin. During this time, Yang Li learned that only he and Yu Ziyi were from the Southern Territory. Huo Anping had inexplicably disappeared, and when he was discovered, he was already a dried corpse.
The Huo Family had tried their best to find the murderer, but in the end, they couldn't find him.
