At this time, everyone in the courtyard looked at Xu Botao. Many people felt that Xu Botao was too cowardly, so they simply opened their mouths to ridicule him.
"Xu Botao, if you dare to stand up and ridicule him, you should have the guts to accept his wager! Otherwise, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?! "
"That's right. Ordinary people know that they dare to take responsibility for their actions. You are a cultivator, and a blacksmith at that. You should dare to take responsibility for your actions. Don't discredit us cultivators!"
"If you don't dare to accept, then apologize to Yang Li. Maybe he won't argue with you. If you aren't afraid of losing face, you can directly admit defeat and sit down. We will pretend that we didn't hear anything!"
Even Lu Xiu, who was on the main stage, said, "Daoist Xu, Daoist Chu Yu has already replied that it is impossible to break through from the Profound Stage to the Heaven Stage in two years. What are you still hesitating for? Just accept it directly. Otherwise, it will really be a little unreasonable. "
Although the crowd didn't think that Yang Li could break through to the Heaven Stage in two years, they couldn't stand it when Xu Botao stood up and ridiculed him. He didn't dare to accept the wager, so they provoked Xu Botao one after another.
Xu Botao's face turned red and white. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said sternly, "I, Xu Botao, accept the wager! If you lose, you will give me 10 million Upper Spiritual Stones. If you win, I will give you 5 million Upper Spiritual Stones! "
Yang Li sneered and said, "Remember, if you lose, it's not just about the Spiritual Stones. I also want you to apologize to me and Zi Yi in front of everyone!"
"Okay, fine!" Xu Botao said hatefully. At this time, he hated Yang Li very much. Yang Li actually dared to stand up and make a wager in front of everyone, making him embarrassed! In his heart, he secretly thought about how to take revenge on Yang Li.
However, he forgot that he was the one who stood up to provoke Yang Li first. If he didn't provoke Yang Li, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
Seeing that Xu Botao had accepted it, Lu Xiu said with a smile, "In view of the bet between Fellow Daoist Xu Botao and Fellow Daoist Yang Li, why don't we gather again after the competition? At that time, we will invite the top three of this competition to explain to us their experience in blacksmithing and fulfill their bet. What does everyone think?"
Hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement and promised that they would definitely come when the time came.
"Alright, then this little interlude is over. Let's continue to choose other Fellow Daoists to bring up the problems that we encountered during the refining process!" Lu Xiu said with a faint smile.
Then, the courtyard quieted down again. The people below the stage asked questions, and the people on the stage answered. It was a peaceful atmosphere.
Although there was still a round of Yang Li's voice, it was much less than before. There were also many people looking toward Yang Li as if they were looking at an idiot. Although Yang Li didn't feel anything, Yu Ziyi was different. He kept staring at those who ridiculed Yang Li, and even complained from time to time, causing Yang Li to laugh continuously.
Time went by slowly. In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night. Everyone had almost finished asking their questions. Lu Xiu smiled and said, "Then let's call it a day. The competition will be held in two days. I hope everyone can get a good ranking in the competition!"
"Let me give you a friendly tip here. The rewards for the competition are extremely generous! Everyone, please do your best! "
Everyone replied to Lu Xiu with a smile, saying that they would do their best, and then slowly dispersed.
Lu Xiu, Chu Yu, and Han Shen also left the courtyard and entered another courtyard. Lu Xiu frowned slightly and said, "Chu Yu, Han Shen, is there really no chance of breaking through two layers in two years?"
The two suddenly fell silent. After a long time, Chu Yu said, "It's too absolute to say that there is no chance. If one's talent is really outstanding, there is still a chance, but I, Chu Yu, don't think I can do it."
"My view is the same as Chu Yu's. After all, the Conflagrated Knowledge Sea is only a tool to assist in Artifact Refining. Whether one can break through from a Mysterious Grade Artifact Refiner to a Heaven Grade Artifact Refiner in two years is still the most important thing. If this Yang Li can really refine a Heaven Grade Weapon, then his talent will definitely far exceed mine and Chu Yu's!" Han Shen said solemnly.
Lu Xiu nodded thoughtfully when he heard this and murmured, "If this Yang Li can really succeed, our attitude towards him will need to change."
Chu Yu and Han Shen nodded at the same time. If Yang Li really succeeded, then his talent would be the strongest in history! Even they had to pay attention to Yang Li.
After Yang Li returned to his residence, he began to think about this time's Great Competition. Whether or not he could refine a Heaven Grade Weapon, Yang Li wasn't worried at all. If he didn't have absolute confidence, he wouldn't have made such a big bet.
At this time, he was thinking about the rules of the Great Competition. The rules of the Alchemy League Great Competition were completely different from the rules of the Pill and Tool Union.
The first round of the Alchemy League Great Competition was also a screening round, but their screening round was to screen out Artifact Refiners below the Earth Grade and ask questions to Artifact Refiners above the Earth Grade. Only those who passed could officially participate in the Great Competition. The content of the questions was unknown to everyone before the Great Competition began.
Moreover, many Artifact Refiners didn't have the grade certification of the Alchemy League. After all, there were still many people from the other four regions. This also meant that these people from the other four regions had to first refine an Earth Grade Weapon or treasure to prove their grade. Otherwise, they would be directly eliminated.
The second round of the Great Competition was to feel the characteristics of the ore by touching it with their hands. They would also be required to accurately state the environment of the ore and some other information. It could be said that it was quite a test, but compared to the previous round, this round was relatively simple.
Because the Alchemist's Union's competition was all about speed, the third and final round of the competition was very simple and crude. First, they would be ranked according to their quality. Those with the highest quality would be ranked first. If their quality was the same, then they would be ranked first based on their speed of crafting, and the fastest would be ranked first.
As for the first place, Yang Li was indeed unable to compete. After all, he had neglected refining before, so he couldn't refine a treasure of the Half-Law Grade. Otherwise, the first place would definitely fall into his hands.
However, whether or not he could get the first place was not so important to Yang Li. He originally participated in the Great Competition with the mentality of playing around, but now, he had the mentality of making Xu Botao bleed.
"With so many people as witnesses, I think this Xu Botao wouldn't have the guts to renege on his debt. I'll cultivate first, then familiarize myself with refining." Yang Li muttered.
Immediately, he sat cross-legged and began to cultivate, quietly waiting for the Great Competition to begin.
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. On the morning of the third day, Yang Li directly left his residence and went to the location of the Alchemy League Great Competition. The Alchemy League Great Competition was different from the Pill-Tool League Great Competition which was held once a year. The Alchemy League Great Competition was held once every five years. This was also to better screen out the best talents.
Therefore, the Alchemy League Great Competition was more valued. Many leaders of big families would personally come to watch the competition and rope in some refiners to work for their families.
The location of the Refiner's Union's Grand Competition was also set in a large open space. It was also more convenient for other people to watch. When Yang Li arrived at the square, the square was already filled with people. The participating refiners were also standing in front.
After Yang Li arrived, he went straight to the front. As soon as he stood still, Yang Li found Yu Ziyi not far away from him, smiling and greeting him. Yang Li smiled and nodded.
"Yang Li! You have to work hard! You must forge a Heavenly Grade Weapon! That Xu Botao's intentions are too sinister! "Yu Ziyi transmitted.
"Don't worry, trust me. Just wait for his apology." Yang Li smiled.
Yu Ziyi nodded and said, "I trust you!" The two looked at each other and smiled. Then they waited for the person in charge of the Great Competition to come.
Not long after, the crowd saw a white-haired old man in a red robe jump into the sky. The three suns on his body proved his identity. He was a Magical Grade Refiner!
After the old man jumped into the sky, he glanced at the crowd In The Field and said, "I am the deputy chief of the Alchemy League, Shen Qi. I am here to host this Great Competition."
"I'm sure everyone already knows the rules of the competition, so now we'll start the selection. Those who have three moons embroidered on their robes can now stand to one side. Those who have robes from the Crafting Union, you can start the selection. The lowest grade is a mid-Earth class!"
"Those whose grades are lower than Earth Grade Medium Grade are all eliminated!"
The Refiners In The Field who were participating in the Great Competition suddenly felt their hearts tremble and they all said, "Understood!"
Shen Qi nodded in satisfaction. After announcing the start of the Great Competition, he fell to the side and began to ask the final participants. The questions he asked were all extremely strange and tricky. His questions successfully eliminated many people.
This also made some Earth Grade Refiners who were refining nervous. They were afraid that after they finished refining their weapons, they would be eliminated in the Great Competition.
However, Yang Li was not worried at all. He calmly refined his weapon. Yang Li basically knew all the questions about Artifact Refining. This was thanks to the time Yang Li spent in the Thousand Treasures Secret Realm, which gave him a deep understanding of Artifact Refining.
Time passed bit by bit. Yang Li had a Conflagrated Knowledge Sea, so his refining speed was naturally very fast. In The Field, he was also the first person to successfully refine a weapon.
