Ye Futian looked at Xue Ye and Luo Fan, a strange expression on his face. What are they whispering about?
Could it be that there's some unspeakable secret?
He couldn't understand why his two senior brothers would come to the Alchemy Conference. His fifth senior brother was good at cooking, but he probably wouldn't be able to forge anything.
More and more mighty ones gathered there, including some renowned armorer level figures. Anyone below the Sage Plane was allowed to participate in the Alchemy Conference. The powerful armorer level figures were all capable of crafting top notch noble ritual implements. If they were to advance into the Sage Plane, perhaps they would be able to craft sage level ritual implements.
Yu Ming, who had fought with Ye Futian a few days ago, was also among the crowd. His eyes were fixed on Su Hongxiu, who was behind Chu Ji, and he didn't hide the admiration in his eyes.
Other than Yu Ming, there were also many other famous armorer masters, such as You Tu, the armorer genius from the City Lord Office, and Gongsun Ye, who was known as the number one armorer of the younger generation. There were also two others who were the center of attention in this Alchemy Conference: Chi Lian and Master Mu Ou.
However, the City Lord Office probably didn't want Master Mu Ou to win first place. After all, Master Mu Ou wasn't young anymore. Because he couldn't break into the Sage Plane, he had been studying armorer crazily, which made him very skilled. However, the winner of the Alchemy Conference would become the son-in-law of the City Lord Office. Although this was the rule, City Lord You wouldn't want his daughter to marry an old man.
This time, the girl that the City Lord Office betrothed to was a very famous beauty in Alchemy City, You Xi. She was a girl with outstanding looks and talent.
Of course, if a direct descendant of the City Lord Office won first place in the Alchemy Conference, he would not marry the daughter of the City Lord Office. Based on what had happened in the past, the City Lord would usually marry the daughter of the City Lord Office to the person who won second or third place.
Countless figures were gathered beneath the eight pillars. People from various top forces of the Barren State had also come to watch the ceremony from the stands on both sides. People from the Nantian House, the Mortal World, the Sword Saint Villa, and so on had all arrived, sitting in their respective positions.
City Lord You Chi sat on the main seat on the stairs in front of him. He raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. The scorching sun hung high in the sky. He stood up and walked forward. Two elders followed him down the stairs and stood below him.
You Chi waved his hand and everyone quietened down. The endless sea of people all looked towards the direction where City Lord You Chi was.
"The Alchemy Conference is held once every ten years. Today, people from all over the Barren State have gathered here to witness the event. Tens of thousands of geniuses in armorers have come from all over. This is my honor." You Chi looked at the crowd and said. His voice was majestic and powerful. It traveled far and wide, and everyone could hear it clearly.
"Although this Alchemy Conference is a competition for armorers below the Sage Plane, the people who come will be the future of the Barren State's armorers. This year's Alchemy Conference will show the future of the Barren State's armorers. Therefore, I hope that everyone who comes can show their full strength." You Chi's voice was powerful and he continued, "Just like before, the top 100 in this time's Alchemy Conference will be free to choose from the armorers in Alchemy City. The top 10 can follow me in making armorers. I will personally teach the top three and forge a ritual implement for them. The first place can marry the daughter of the City Lord Office, You Xi. Of course, this is all voluntary. Those who are unwilling will not be forced."
Many people laughed. The Alchemy Conference that was held once every decade did indeed represent the highest level of armorers of this generation. The City Lord Office of Alchemy City was the representative of the armorers' world, and they would hold the conference with great sincerity. As such, the daughter that they chose was also extremely outstanding. Everyone in Alchemy City knew You Xi, and only a fool would reject her.
"Next, it's all up to you," You Chi said and returned to his seat. The two elders in the middle of the staircase looked at the crowd. One of them lit up a stick of incense and placed it in front of the staircase. The other said, "In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, craft a superior noble ritual implement. Any ritual implement is fine, and there are no restrictions on the methods used. Those who succeed will stay, and those who fail will be eliminated."
"Now, begin."
He officially announced. In an instant, countless people moved at the same time. In just an instant, the entire space was filled with a scorching heat. Everyone took out their own crafting furnaces and started to forge weapons.
Although those who participated in the Alchemy Conference had a certain level of confidence, there were still many who just wanted to experience it. As such, this first round was able to eliminate those who were just there to make up the numbers and those who were not skilled enough. The ones who were selected were all elite armorers.
Ye Futian wasn't too interested in armorers. It wasn't his area of expertise. He looked at Luo Fan and Xue Ye and asked in a low voice, "Can two people work together in the Alchemy Conference?"
"Yes, because some people with talent in armorers don't necessarily specialize in fire power or need help in other areas," Zhong Li replied. "Many powerful armorers have artifact boys by their side, but only two people can work together."
Ye Futian nodded in understanding. He couldn't help but blink when he saw the crafting item Luo Fan took out.
How could this work?
Luo Fan's item wasn't a crafting furnace at all. It was clearly a stove for cooking.
"Is that your senior brother?" Zhong Li heard Ye Futian call them senior brother. He couldn't help but look at Xue Ye and Luo Fan in shock.
"I don't know them." Ye Futian slapped his forehead and said jokingly. How embarrassing. How could he have such a senior brother?
Don't participate if you don't know how. Crafting a stove at the Alchemy Conference …
Fortunately, there were too many people at the moment. No one noticed the two in the crowd. Most people's attention was focused on the top armorers. They didn't have time to care about them.
Of course, even if someone noticed them, Xue Ye and Luo Fan didn't have time to care. They were busy.
"If the fire is more intense, it won't work," Xue Ye said.
"Hurry up and cast the matrix," Luo Fan said.
"That's not what the book says. The steps are wrong, and the order of smelting is wrong too."
"Who cares. They're all good treasures we've collected. We cook like this too. Stew it all in one pot. Carve the matrix, and no one can say it's not a ritual implement."
"Don't you need to cast it? How can it be called a ritual implement? "Xue Ye asked.
"Then you do it?" Luo Fan glared at him.
"You do it."
The two of them were so busy that they didn't stop. The people around them couldn't take it anymore and said, "Can you two shut up?"
What kind of armorers are you? Cooking?
"Don't do it if your state of mind isn't good enough. Is there a rule in the Alchemy Conference that forbids talking?" Luo Fan looked at him provocatively. They weren't good at armorers, but fighting was much easier. He was suffering.
"B * stard," the other cursed in a low voice and continued to work.
Ye Futian had been paying attention to them. His face darkened.
He was a genius. He couldn't have come from the Cottage.
"Your senior brother is interesting." Phoenix, who usually didn't smile, couldn't help but smile. In the vast space, Xue Ye and Luo Fan were the most special.
"I still miss my senior brother from before." Ye Futian was a little tired. He thought back to when he was bullied in the Qin Dynasty. His fifth senior brother was domineering. His third and fourth senior brother, Xue Ye, went down the mountain to block the gate of the Qin Dynasty.
Back then, his two senior brothers were like idols. Now …
The time limit was soon up. The host of the Alchemy Conference said, "Time's up. Everyone stop immediately, or you'll be eliminated."
Everyone stopped what they were doing. Some looked relaxed, while others looked disappointed. Then another voice said, "Those who can't do it, leave this area."
People left one by one. Most people left. The first round of the test was very short. It was to pick out the elites.
After everyone left, many people from the City Lord Office entered to check the ritual implements made by the people who stayed.
"Senior brother didn't leave?" Ye Futian looked at Xue Ye and Luo Fan. The two were standing there calmly, waiting for the people from the City Lord Office to check.
When the inspector walked up to them, he asked, "What kind of magic tool did you forge?"
"Here." Luo Fan pointed at the furnace. The person looked inside and saw a very irregular object. It didn't look like a weapon. He had never seen a ritual implement like this.
Could it be that he was ignorant and ill-informed?
Also, why did this crafting furnace look like a furnace?
"What ritual implement is this?" the person asked.
"It's a ritual implement I created. It doesn't look like a ritual implement, but it can surprise people and is very powerful," Luo Fan said.
"You created it?" The person had a strange expression. Although he felt that it didn't look like a ritual implement, there were many strange people who came to the Alchemy Conference today. What Luo Fan said made sense. The ritual implement didn't have any shape. It was like a twisted brick. No one would notice it and it could surprise people.
"Bullsh * t. Senior, these two guys don't know how to make ritual implements at all. They're just messing around," the young man beside him said unhappily.
The elder was stunned. Had he been tricked?
His expression suddenly sharpened, and a majestic aura emanated from him. Xue Ye took out the ritual implement and said, "Senior, take a look."
As soon as he said this, Spiritual Qi entered the ritual implement. In an instant, the ritual implement shone with dazzling light. It swallowed and spat out terrifying destructive power. Lightning flashed, with terrifying tearing power. The space around it lit up with dazzling light.
"This is indeed a ritual implement. It's just that we didn't make it using normal methods," Xue Ye said.
"Shut up if you don't know. Who said it isn't a ritual implement?" Luo Fan glared at the person beside him. This b * stard dared to tell on him.
"You …" The person pointed at Luo Fan and said, "Senior, they really don't know how to make ritual implements. They're messing around."
The elder's expression flickered. Then he said, "But it's indeed the power of a top-level ritual implement. You pass."
After saying this, he walked away. Luo Fan looked at him provocatively. His expression was cold, and he called him an idiot.
Ye Futian put his hand on his forehead. Senior was indeed his senior.
