In the Thunder Punishment City, Ou Yezi and Duanmu Feng, the two grandmaster artifact refiners, had painstakingly refined Grandmist Spiritual Treasures for so many years. The results of the two of them were finally out. Ou Yezi's condition was extremely good. He actually managed to refine a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. As for Duanmu Feng, he only managed to refine a third-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. He had wasted so many materials and Grandmist Spiritual Energy for nothing.
"Ou Yezi, Duanmu, let's end the refinement here." Zhou Huo said to the two master refiners with a smile.
Ou Yezi and Duanmu Feng exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt.
According to the original plan, Zhou Huo had prepared enough materials to refine four Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. Every grandmaster artifact refiner would have to refine the Grandmist Spiritual Treasures twice. Right now, they had only refined the Grandmist Spiritual Treasures once.
Ou Yezi couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Your Majesty, you?"
"Haha, it's better that I tell you all this. During the period when you all were crafting artifacts, a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure had already appeared in the Divine Realm," Although Zhou Huo was smiling, his expression was not very good.
"First-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure? Come into being? Was it nurtured by heaven and earth, or was it refined by humans? "Ou Yezi asked in shock.
"While you were crafting artifacts, I did not see the red clouds covering the sky when the first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure appeared." Zhou Huo shook his head and said with a smile.
Crimson clouds covering the sky. Such a scene would only appear when a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure was artificially refined.
"Who made it? Could it be that Chehou Yuan has returned? "Duanmu Feng questioned.
Ou Yezi said softly, "Could it be that Qin Yu?"
Zhou Huo nodded and said, "Yeah, it's Qin Yu. He managed to refine a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. My son, Zhou Xian, no longer has any hope of obtaining the third chosen spot. "
When Zhou Huo saw Qin Yu take out a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, he had already decided to have his son give up on the third spot.
*****
There were a lot of people that came to visit Qin Yu. However, not a single person was able to find Qin Yu. This included Uncle Lan, Li 'er and them. That was because Qin Yu had been crafting artifacts in the New Cosmos the entire time. Without his consent, who would be able to enter the New Cosmos?
Time passed by. One year, two years … The day of the third selection was approaching.
Jiang Li's mood was clearly much better than before. Qin Yu had managed to refine a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. The final victor of this groom search was practically decided.
"Uncle Lan, has Big Brother Qin Yu not come out for the past few years?" Jiang Li was a little anxious.
Jiang Lan smiled and said. "Don't worry. Last year, Qin Yu had come out for a short period of time. However, he soon returned. That's why you didn't see it. "
"Last year?" Jiang Li was puzzled.
"When he came out last year, he came to borrow some artifact crafting materials from me. After all, my artifact crafting ability is not that great and I have no use for those materials. Thus, I gave them all to Little Yu." Said Jiang Lan with a light smile.
In terms of artifact crafting, Jiang Lan was only proficient in Spatial Divine Artifacts. As for the other weapons, his ability to craft them was insufficient.
"Borrow refining materials?"
Jiang Li frowned, "Is Big Brother Qin Yu still refining? So what if he has managed to craft a High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact? Why must he work so hard? "Jiang Li was unable to understand.
At this moment, neither Jiang Li nor Jiang Lan knew that Qin Yu possessed a boundless amount of Grandmist Spiritual Energy. Qin Yu also did not have the time to inform Li Er and them about this.
*****
Beads of sweat rolled down from Qin Yu's temples. Qin Yu carefully inspected the long whip in his hand. He displayed a satisfied expression.
"It's finally over."
Qin Yu gasped in admiration. "Even though I possess a boundless amount of Grandmist Spiritual Energy, I still need a sufficient amount of good artifact crafting materials."
A total of eighty thousand years. In these eighty thousand years, Qin Yu would always spend a relatively long time adjusting his state before crafting artifacts. He would strive to reach his best state.
In these eighty thousand years, Qin Yu had crafted a total of seventy three Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.
Among the seventy three Grandmist Spiritual Treasures, there were two third-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures, seventy second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures and a single first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure!
"Unfortunately, a large amount of precious materials were all spent on the Purple Mystic Mansion." Qin Yu sighed helplessly. Back then, in order to craft the Purple Mystic Mansion, he had indeed paid an enormous price.
All those precious materials, yet in the end, he only managed to craft a decorative High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact.
As for materials capable of crafting a High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact, when supplemented with Grandmist Spiritual Energy, one would be able to craft a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. Not many of the precious materials left behind by Chehou Yuan remained.
Later on, Qin Yu went to borrow some materials from Uncle Lan. Unexpectedly, Uncle Lan actually gave him that many precious materials. Only then did Qin Yu manage to craft a total of seventy three Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.
"In order to craft a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, materials, Grandmist Spiritual Energy, ability to craft artifacts and one's state are all indispensable." Qin Yu gasped in admiration.
He had crafted a total of seventy three Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. Only a single one of them was a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.
The materials used to craft this first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure were extremely precious. Furthermore, Qin Yu's state was extremely good at that time. His state was even better than when he crafted the scepter.
Qin Yu flipped his hand and a dark green sword appeared in his hand. Light was circulating through the surface of the sword. At the same time, the sharp aura emitted by the sword caused even the surrounding space to tremble.
"I'll leave this' Water Splitter 'sword in the New Cosmos for the time being." With an intention from Qin Yu, this first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure was sent into the Bewitching God Temple.
Qin Yu did not dare to bring this weapon to the Divine Realm. He feared that if he were to bring it out, it would once again cause a commotion. At that time, Qin Yu was unable to imagine what sort of reaction those Godkings would have.
It was best that he did not stir up too much trouble.
Furthermore, Qin Yu did not plan to publicize the remaining seventy two Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. He planned to store them for the time being. It would not be too late to take them out at a suitable time.
"It should not be long until the day of the third chosen candidate spot's evaluation. Let's go out first." Qin Yu disappeared from the New Cosmos.
*****
Jiang Li was extremely happy when Qin Yu returned to the Divine Realm. Thus, she spent the entire day with Qin Yu. Qin Yu also stayed in the Wood Mansion the entire time. Hou Fei and Kuroh also frequently came to the Wood Mansion to stroll around.
"Little Yu, tomorrow is the day of the third chosen candidate spot's evaluation. Have you prepared your gift?" Jiang Lan looked to Qin Yu. Jiang Lan knew that Qin Yu had crafted a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.
However, it was still hard to say whether or not Qin Yu would give that first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure as a gift.
After all, it was a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. When they competed for the first chosen candidate spot, Qin Yu had already handed over one. How could he possibly hand over another one?
"This third chosen candidate spot, I am determined to obtain it." Qin Yu flipped his hand and took out that scepter. "With this first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure scepter, Ten Thousand Willows, how could Zhou Xian possibly make a comeback?"
In Qin Yu's heart, Grandmist Spiritual Treasures were merely worldly possessions. For the sake of Li Er, why would he be unwilling to part with them?
Jiang Lan nodded in satisfaction.
… …
The next day. The Utmost North Sage Emperor's Palace was bustling with noise and excitement as usual. The thirteen Godkings of the Divine Realm were seated high up in the palace. The various Heavenly Deities below were also chatting with one another. Frequently, there would even be people who would go over to Qin Yu to chat with him.
Qin Yu had completely become the focus of the Sage Emperor's Palace.
"Brother Qin Yu, I've heard that you've crafted a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. I truly admire you, truly admire you." Zhou Xian who sat beside Qin Yu said to Qin Yu with a smile on his face. However, within the depths of his gaze was a trace of resentment.
Qin Yu was naturally able to guess what Zhou Xian was feeling right now.
"Haha, it's merely luck. Brother Zhou Xian, last time, Brother Zhou Xian was extremely confident in obtaining the third chosen candidate spot. What sort of gift have you prepared this time around? "Qin Yu asked with a light smile on his face.
Zhou Xian's expression turned sluggish.
"Haha," Zhou Xian laughed hollowly. "Regardless of how good the gift might be, it would still not be able to match up to Brother Qin Yu's gift."
Zhou Xian knew very well in his heart that the reason why he had won last time around was due to his help. It was all because his Imperial Father had secretly helped him and made those Saint Emperors support him.
However, as a judge, although they could be biased, they could not be too obvious.
For example, if Qin Yu were to take out a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure and Zhou Xian's second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, how could they not be biased? No matter how biased they might be, they could not insist that a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure was better than a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.
Thus, if the disparity was too great, they would not be able to help even if they wanted to.
Furthermore … Qin Yu's status had changed enormously. He was now the new Craftsman God. Those Sage Emperors were all regretting that they had helped Zhou Xian and offended Qin Yu. Today, how could they not help Qin Yu? How could they possibly be biased toward Zhou Xian?
Even if Qin Yu and Zhou Xian both possessed second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures and even if Qin Yu's was slightly inferior, it was likely that the Sage Emperors would still support Qin Yu.
"Everyone."
The Utmost North Sage Emperor Jiang Fan stood up. His face was brimming with smiles. With a clear voice, he said. "Today is the day when the third chosen candidate spot will be judged. According to the rules that were set up back then, today's gift will be judged based on whose gift is more precious. Haha, the judging this time around is much easier than last time. "
Jiang Fan's gaze swept through the crowd. When he saw Qin Yu, he slightly paused. He even slightly smiled to Qin Yu.
"Now, the seventeen candidates, please display your gifts. Let's begin with the final candidate." Jiang Fan directly announced.
Immediately, the final candidate, the prince of the Subterranean City, stood up. He walked to the center of the palace hall, slightly bowed and said. "Godkings, I forfeit this competition."
Forfeit?
The Heavenly Deities present all grew silent. They looked at each other in dismay. Merely, the various Godkings above were still lightly smiling. Jiang Fan even slightly nodded and said. "Worthy nephew, you can withdraw first. Next."
"Godkings, I forfeit this match as well."
… …
Thirteen candidates forfeited in succession. Some Heavenly Deities did not understand. However, those candidates all knew the truth very well.
More precious than a gift?
If they were unable to even take out a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, then it would be better for them to directly forfeit. Everyone knew that Qin Yu had already crafted a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. As for that Zhou Xian, he even had two grandmaster artifact craftsmen craft artifacts.
From this, it could be seen how determined Qin Yu and Zhou Xian were to obtain the treasures.
"Next." Jiang Fan said indifferently. It was one thing for a single candidate to forfeit. However, for thirteen candidates to forfeit in succession, this caused Jiang Fan to feel a bit displeased.
At this moment, Zhou Xian stood up and walked to the center of the palace hall.
"Godkings." Zhou Xian bowed respectfully. He then said with a clear voice. "Brother Qin Yu has already crafted a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. Thus, I naturally do not have the face to take out a gift. I … also forfeit! "
The entire palace hall suddenly grew quiet. Soon after, it became noisy.
The two great competitors for the groom search were Qin Yu and Zhou Xian. This was something that many people had determined in their hearts. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xian actually directly forfeited.
Qin Yu looked to Zhou Xian who stood in the center of the palace hall. A smile appeared on his face. "Forfeit? Oh, you've forfeited. In that case, I … "Qin Yu had already made his decision.
Zhou Xian returned to his seat. He then slightly smiled to Qin Yu beside him. "Brother Qin Yu, it's up to you."
"Next." Jiang Fan's gaze turned to Qin Yu.
Everyone present, including the various Godkings above, were all looking at Qin Yu. All of the Godkings had smiles on their faces. Their courteous treatment toward Qin Yu was something that all of the Heavenly Deities below were able to sense.
Qin Yu stood up and then walked to the center of the palace hall.
Jiang Fan looked to Qin Yu with a burning gaze. What he looked forward to the most was … that Qin Yu would be able to take out that first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.
"Godkings, my gift is …" Qin Yu extended his right hand. A long whip suddenly appeared in his hand. "This long whip is the highest level weapon among second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures."
Jiang Fan's smile grew slightly sluggish. The Godkings above were also stunned.
Zhou Xian who sat on the side was also stunned.
It was not a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure! It was merely a top level weapon among second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.
Jiang Fan was stunned for a long time before he managed to react. He immediately displayed a smile on his face. "This long whip is a top level weapon among second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures? Mn. "Jiang Fan had a satisfied expression.
Qin Yu lightly smiled. After that, he withdrew.
At the moment when Zhou Xian forfeited, Qin Yu had already made his decision. There was no need for him to take out a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. This peak weapon among second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures was sufficient for him to obtain the third chosen candidate spot.
After all, the others had all forfeited. As for the remaining Kuiyin Hou and Shentu Fan, how could they possibly be able to take out a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure? They might not even be able to take out a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. Even if they were able to take out a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, it was likely that the majority of the Godkings would support Qin Yu, this new Craftsman God.
