As the Sun rose, the square was bustling with activity.
Most people were talking about Su Xiu of the Su family, obviously showing that they were not optimistic about her.
What could they do? These years, the Su Clan has been on the decline. Not only were they being suppressed by the other two clans, but there was no one capable enough to carry the banner of the Su Clan.
The only one who was not bad was Su Xiu, but she was only an intermediate level craftsman. In the entire City of Crafts, there were three clans with advanced level craftsmen.
"All these years, the Su Family has been jointly suppressed by the Qin Family and the Zhao Family. Yet, there is no one capable enough to fight against the other two clans. "
"Most importantly, the Sima Clan has risen. Not only are they not weaker than the Su Clan, but they also have a genius who has reached the advanced level."
"Yeah, this time, the Su Clan is most likely going to be removed from the list."
"Not most likely, it is for sure! Sima Yun is already an advanced level craftsman. He is no weaker than the descendants of the Qin and Zhao Clan. He will definitely be in the top three! "
The more people discussed, the more they thought the Su Clan was hopeless.
Sima Yun and the descendants of the Qin and Zhao Clan were all advanced level craftsmen. In other words, they were already in the top three. This meant the Su Clan will be removed from the list and replaced by the Sima Clan.
"So none of you are optimistic about the Su Clan. Let's wait and see."
Hearing everyone's sarcasm, Su Qin faintly smiled, his old eyes flashing with a bit of confidence.
Su Xiu was the same.
If this was before, she would be bitter and unconfident.
But today, she had reached the intermediate level of an advanced level craftsman. Naturally, she was more confident.
"Grandpa Su, do not worry. With Su Xiu's abilities, she can easily be in the top three."
Ling Xian smiled. Even if Su Xiu was not capable enough, he had ways to help her get into the top three.
"But you cannot be careless. Whether it is Sima Yun or the descendants of the Qin and Zhao Clan, they are all enemies you need to fight," Su Qin warned.
"Grandpa, do not worry. I will be careful and do my best," Su Xiu said in a serious tone.
"Good, follow me."
Su Qin smiled and shifted his gaze to Ling Xian, "Jun Yu, stay here and watch the show."
Then, he led Su Xiu to the center of the square and chatted with the leaders of the Qin and Zhao Clan.
Ling Xian was not interested in this.
He disappeared into the crowd and closed his eyes, waiting for the competition to begin.
However, at this moment, he suddenly frowned and shifted his gaze to the southeast.
There stood a person dressed in a loose black robe with a black veil covering his face.
Even though he was surrounded by people, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between him and them, completely isolating him.
His Qi that was faintly discernible surprised Ling Xian.
Although he was severely injured, his Qi and soul were still there. Therefore, he was able to tell with one glance that this person's cultivation level was equivalent to the Original Infant Stage on the Planet of Eternal Immortal.
If this was any other time, an original leveled cultivator wouldn't attract Ling Xian's attention. But in the City of Crafts, where the strongest cultivators were of the completion level, it was a little strange.
However, Ling Xian didn't think much of it. Even if this person was strange, it had nothing to do with him.
At that moment, he withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to it.
After a while, the competition officially began.
The rules were very simple. All the contestants would each refine a magic treasure. Whoever had the best would be the winner.
"Su Qin, this time, your Su Clan is going to be removed from the list." Qin Clan leader teased.
Zhao Clan leader felt the same way.
Their rivalry with Su Qin wasn't something new. Naturally, they were more than happy to see the Su Clan removed.
"That might not be the case."
Su Qin's expression was calm as he glanced around at all the different leaders. In the end, he fixed his gaze on Si Ma Clan leader, "To step on my Su Clan is not an easy task."
"To me, it's not difficult."
Si Ma Clan leader teased, "Even though my grandson is useless, he is still better than your granddaughter."
"Then we'll see."
Su Qin was too lazy to waste any more time. He shifted his gaze towards Su Xiu and smiled, "Start crafting. Don't feel pressured. Just do what you usually do."
"Grandpa, don't worry."
Su Xiu inhaled deeply. Then, she took out her cauldron and various materials and began to craft.
At this, the other contestants began to craft as well.
Among them, three people were the most eye-catching.
The first was Zhao Mu, the second was Qin Lian, and the third was Si Ma Yun.
All three of them were high leveled craftsmen. The moment they made their moves, they displayed their extraordinary craftsmanship. The spectators cheered and the contestants exclaimed.
"They are the best of the younger generation in the City of Crafts after all. They sure are powerful."
"Smooth like flowing water, pleasing to the eye. This is art!"
"Without a doubt, these three are the top three of this year's competition. I wonder who will be the winner."
Everyone chimed in, full of compliments.
This made Ling Xian speechless.
In his eyes, the refining process of these three people was simply full of loopholes. Not to mention describing it as smooth like flowing water, even the word 'easy' was far from it.
If he had to evaluate them, he would only give two words.
Trash.
Don't forget, not only was Ling Xian a craftsmanship grandmaster, but he also had the inheritance of craftsmanship. To him, the treasures these three were crafting were full of flaws and were no different from trash.
"To be able to become a high leveled craftsman at this age is not bad. Sadly, they made too many mistakes. I really don't know how their Masters taught them."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He was too lazy to watch.
Just then, everyone suddenly shrieked and their gazes all converged onto Su Xiu.
This was all because she displayed skills that surpassed the other three. Though the item she was crafting was merely in its initial form, it was exuding an extraordinary amount of Qi.
This surprised everyone. They didn't think that Su Xiu, who they didn't have high hopes for, would become a dark horse.
As time went on, Su Xiu's treasure began to take shape and her Qi surpassed everyone else's. Even the treasures made by the other three high leveled craftsmen paled in comparison.
This caused everyone to be shocked, and also caused the heads of the three families to panic.
Leader Si Ma, in particular, was panicking. He didn't think Su Xiu would have such profound craftsmanship skills.
"Not bad. Though there are still many mistakes, her fundamentals are solid. She is better than the other three."
Looking at the calm Su Xiu, Ling Xian grinned and gave her a "not bad" comment.
This was a very rare comment. Even if a master craftsman was here, he wouldn't be able to get this comment out of his mouth.
"Based on the situation, I don't need to help her cheat." Ling Xian smiled to himself and stopped worrying.
Originally, he planned on helping Su Xiu in the dark if she couldn't get into the top three. With his Tools Method Attainments at the Grandmaster level, it was naturally easy for him to do such a thing without any effort.
But now, there was no need for that. If nothing unexpected happens, Su Xiu will get first place.
In the next second, however, Ling Xian frowned and mumbled to himself, "It looks like I have to help her cheat."
