The western part of the Barren State was boundless. There were many great cities, and the two most famous were Alchemy City and White Cloud City.
While there were other cities with great influence, they could not surpass these two cities.
White Cloud City dominated the northwest, while Alchemy City was located in the southwest. It had influence over the surrounding area and many top forces were on good terms with Alchemy City.
Alchemy City was extremely extravagant and grand. The entire city seemed to have been forged from ritual implements. Many of the architectural styles in the city differed from those in other regions. In Alchemy City, many of the buildings were ritual implements themselves. In this city, there was extremely dense Spiritual Qi of the world, especially those of the metal and fire elemental attributes.
Countless mighty ones from all over the Barren State had gathered at this extremely famous ancient city. Mighty ones continued to step into Alchemy City through the air.
The decennial Alchemy Conference was about to begin. This was a grand event comparable to the Holy Zhi Palace's disciple recruitment. Many top forces in the Barren State would gather, especially those from the southwest region.
The top armorer of the Barren State had also arrived, ready to show off their skills.
The rewards of every Alchemy Conference were extremely terrifying. There was even a chance to become the personal disciple of the Alchemy City Lord. The champion of the Alchemy Conference could even marry a princess of the Alchemy City Lord Office. Thus, countless people flocked to this event.
However, the top three in every Alchemy Conference were mostly people from the top forces of Alchemy City. Some were even from the City Lord Office themselves.
While the Barren State had very few people who were good at armorer, the Barren State was vast. Now that they were all gathered in Alchemy City, the Alchemy Conference was definitely a grand event for the armorer of the Barren State.
At this time, a group of cultivators with sharp auras flew in the air above Alchemy City. They were from the Nantian House.
While the Nantian House was quite far from Alchemy City, they had to come. The Nantian Divine Spear of Nantian was famous throughout the Barren State. The spear of the Nantian Divine Spear of Nantian was made in Alchemy City. The people from the Nantian House naturally had to come.
Not only that, many top ritual implements in the Barren State were made in Alchemy City. Thus, many top forces respected Alchemy City.
The forces of the Mortal World had also arrived on air warships.
The Sovereign Family of Zhongzhou City had also arrived to observe the Alchemy Conference.
As for the Sacred Fire Sect, Zhong Clan, and other forces that were originally from the southwest region, there was no need to say much. They had long arrived at Alchemy City.
Many mighty ones came with another motive, which was to see if they could trade for a few divine arms and ritual implements in Alchemy City. The ritual implements of Alchemy City were without a doubt the best in the Barren State.
In another part of the sky, there were two figures walking in the air. Both of them were at the pinnacle of the Noble Plane. One of them was extraordinarily handsome, while the other had a frivolous air about him.
"Fourth Brother, are you really going to participate in the Alchemy Conference?" one of them asked.
"It's not me, it's us," another person said.
"But we don't know how to forge weapons, right?" The person from before shrugged.
"Aren't you good at playing with fire? There's no difference between cooking and refining. You should make the most of these few days by reading books. Even if you don't know how to cook, you still have to learn," said the man who was addressed as Fourth Senior Brother.
"How can it be the same? Fourth Senior Brother, you're tricking me. "
"Now that things have come to this, what else can I do? I have to participate even if I don't want to."
"But you're the one who did this. I didn't do anything. Senior Brother, you can't be so kind."
"Luo Fan, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have made such a huge mistake. Now you want to stay out of this?" These two were disciples from the Eastern Barren Territory Cottage. They were the fourth disciple, Xue Ye, and the fifth disciple, Luo Fan.
"Xue Ye, you're such a jerk." Luo Fan glared at Xue Ye and said, "Why don't we go beg Second Senior Sister?"
"Get lost." Xue Ye glared at Luo Fan. "I don't have the face to go. Moreover, what's the use of begging Second Senior Sister?" If you don't want to participate, I'll make you kneel right now. "
"Senior Brother, you're going too far," Luo Fan said, feeling wronged. How could he bully others like this?
"Brothers, we share blessings and misfortunes together." Xue Ye patted Luo Fan's shoulder and comforted him.
Luo Fan looked at him with a wronged expression and said, "But you didn't bring me along when you were enjoying yourself."
"Get lost. How could I bring you along?" Xue Ye scolded Luo Fan. Luo Fan sighed.
…
At this time, Ye Futian's group had also arrived at Alchemy City. The group had an extraordinary bearing as they flew in the sky above Alchemy City.
"Zhong Li, does the entire Alchemy City belong to the City Lord Office?" Ye Futian asked. He still didn't know much about Alchemy City. He only knew that Alchemy City's status was extraordinary and it dominated a region.
"No, this is the most famous Alchemy City in the southwest. Other than the City Lord Office, there is another force that can compete with them. The Alchemy City's Emperor Family," Zhong Li said.
"Such a domineering family name?" Ye Futian's eyes revealed a strange look.
"The Emperor Family of Alchemy City is a top clan that is as famous as the Sovereign Family of Zhongzhou City," Zhong Li said. Zhong Li said, "It is said that in ancient times, the Emperor Family and the ancestor of Alchemy City's City Lord You Clan were good friends. They were both saints. They were both skilled in armorer and came to Alchemy City. Later, the You Clan continued to inherit their ancestor's talent in armorer, while the Emperor Family placed more emphasis on cultivation and gradually gave up on armorer. However, the two families still maintained a good relationship and complemented each other, ruling this famous main city in the Barren State.
"Today, the two families are still on good terms and have been related by marriage for generations. The City Lord of Alchemy City is ranked eighth on the Barren Sky Ranking, and the Emperor Family's leader is also ranked twelfth. The two forces never participate in the Holy Zhi Palace's selection and are independent." Zhong Li continued, "Moreover, the Alchemy City Lord Office and the Emperor Family have always produced many talents. It is said that this generation of the Emperor Family has a person with extraordinary potential, and it is said that he has the potential of Bai Luli. The Emperor Family has high hopes for him, hoping that he can become a saint in the future."
Ye Futian nodded. The Barren State was vast. While the Holy Zhi Palace was the sacred ground of the Barren State, it was not the only one in the Barren State. Back then, Huang Jiuge of the Sovereign Family was unwilling to enter the Holy Zhi Palace to cultivate. Alchemy City and the Ice Temple were also independent, and there were many geniuses among the younger generation.
Now that they were participating in the Armorer Conference, they should have the opportunity to come into contact with many outstanding geniuses in armorer.
"Will many forces of the Barren State come?" Ye Futian asked.
"Many forces will." Zhong Li nodded. "The Armorer Conference is a grand event for armorer of this generation in the Noble Plane. Some of the best armorers will stay in Alchemy City, but there are also many powerful armorers who will be poached by the top forces at a great price and become their exclusive armorers. When they rise to the Sage Plane in the future, they will be able to craft sage level ritual implements for them."
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded. It was natural for the top forces to want to recruit rare armorers.
"There are still a few days before the Alchemy Conference starts. Where should we go?" Ye Futian looked at the crowd and asked.
"Since we are here in Alchemy City, it is only natural for us to see where there are good ritual implements and broaden our horizons," Xu Que said with a smile. Alchemy City was most famous for its ritual implements.
"That makes sense." Ye Futian smiled and nodded. He looked at Hua Jieyu beside him to see if he could find a good ritual implement for her. However, while he had a lot of spirit stones on him, it did not seem to be enough to trade for top-notch sage ritual implements.
However, many of these fellows around him were very rich. Should he ruthlessly slaughter them? But would it be inappropriate for a person as principled as him to do so?
"There are quite a few well-known places in Alchemy City, but there are two that are the most famous. One is the Treasure Heaven Tower opened by the City Lord Office, where one trades items for other items, and there are all sorts of top-notch ritual implements there. The other place is a little more interesting, the Alchemy Casino, which also has many powerful ritual implements. But what's interesting about the Alchemy Casino is that it's a gambling house, and every ritual implement can be bet with something of equal value, such as powerful spells, training methods, and other precious ritual implements to be used in battle with the casino."
Zhong Li said, "The Alchemy Casino is the most popular place in every Armorer Conference."
"Then wouldn't we be emptying the casino if we participated?" Ye Futian was stunned.
"…" Zhong Li looked at Ye Futian. What kind of person was this guy?
"It's not that simple. The rules of the bet are set by the gambling house, and the gambling house has the initiative. So, they are almost guaranteed to win. But the Alchemy Conference attracts many top-notch cultivators, and they are all extremely confident," Zhong Li said with a smile. Ye Futian nodded to show that he understood.
"That seems interesting." Ye Futian looked at the others, and they all showed some interest. He said, "Let's go to the gambling house then."
"Alright." Zhong Li smiled and nodded, and the group set off.
The Alchemy Casino was located in the central area of Alchemy City. It was the most popular place in Alchemy City and had a strong background. It was rumored that the City Lord Office, the Emperor Family, and many other clans in Alchemy City were behind it. As such, no one had ever dared to cause trouble. It was no ordinary gambling house.
The Alchemy Casino was extremely grand and majestic. Entering it, one could see that the place was as majestic as a palace, and there were countless people.
They walked forward and saw many people gathered on the left. On a rockery that looked like jade, there were three ritual implements: a short sword, a piece of armor, and a long whip. All of them emanated the aura of Sage Plane.
"Are all the ritual implements in the Alchemy Casino Sage Plane?" Ye Futian asked, surprised.
"Yes." Zhong Li nodded. "Noble ritual implements are not attractive to true cultivators, and the equivalent items that can be exchanged for are not worth the gambling house's money. So, all the ritual implements here are of the Sage Plane."
Ye Futian was somewhat interested. The ritual implements were placed there so casually, and they were not worried that someone would steal them. It was evident how confident the gambling house was. Their background was probably terrifying.
They continued forward. Many ritual implements were extremely precious, and no one was allowed to get close. There were matrices that lifted the ritual implements.
Ye Futian saw a terrifying golden spear in front of him. It formed a terrifying storm around it. The tip of the golden spear swallowed and spat out destructive light. A terrifying black hole of destruction appeared, and no one dared to get close.
Many people gathered around the spear. They all looked up at the golden spear that swallowed and spat out destructive power in the air. Their eyes burned with passion. This spear must be an extremely precious ritual implement.
"There's a magical bell over there." In another direction, there was a huge magical bell floating in the air. The light it spilled contained terrifying destructive power. There were also many people gathered in front of the magical bell.
Ye Futian looked around. There were powerful ritual implements everywhere. His eyes lit up. This is a good place.
"Jieyu, pick whatever you like. Wuchen is also missing a sword. Qingxuan and Chenyu are not missing any ritual implements. Let's see if there's anything suitable here," Ye Futian said, his eyes shining.
"…" The people around him all froze and looked at him speechlessly. Did this guy think that the Alchemy Casino was his home?
"Ye Futian, you came to Alchemy City too." A group of people walked over from the air and looked down at Ye Futian's group. They were from the Nantian House. Nan Hao, Nan Feng, Nan Yu, and the others were all there.
"Let's go." Ye Futian ignored them and continued forward.
"Didn't you hear?" Nan Yu's expression darkened when he saw Ye Futian ignore him.
