The first round of the Alchemy Conference had ended. There were only about 3,000 people left in the Alchemy Pillar. Most of them had been eliminated. There were many who could craft high-grade noble ritual implements, but it was still difficult to do so within five minutes.
The requirements for crafting ritual implements were very high. Even using flames to melt the materials required a lot of time. If the flames weren't strong enough, five minutes wouldn't be enough to melt the materials.
Many people noticed Xue Ye and Luo Fan. These two were very strange. However, the people present were all of high status, so they naturally wouldn't say anything. As long as it was within the rules, there would be no problem.
"Spread out and take your positions," the elder on the stairs said. The old man on the stairs said. Immediately, the three thousand people spread out in the Alchemy Pillar. The space between each person became wider, and their field of vision became clearer. From the seats on the stairs and the stands on both sides, they could clearly see every refiner. In this way, no one's refining process could escape the eyes of the top figures on the stairs.
"The second round, two hours. Those who can craft top notch noble ritual implements, stay behind. Begin now," the elder on the stairs said. This time, the time given was longer, but the requirements were also higher. They had to craft top notch noble ritual implements. This would be a watershed. Moreover, in this round, they would be able to roughly judge the armorer's standard.
More than 3,000 people immediately began crafting. Those who were a distance away seemed to be more cautious. There was a certain chance of failure in crafting ritual implements. To craft top notch ritual implements in two hours, the margin for error was very low. They had to treat it seriously and give it their all.
"You Tu is indeed the heir of the City Lord Office. His crafting abilities are superb. He's so young, but he already has the demeanor of a master," Yan Jun said, looking at You Tu from the City Lord Office.
"Gongsun Ye isn't bad either. His flames are so strong. No one can match his speed in melting materials." Di Kai, the leader of the Di Family, turned his gaze towards another slender young man. That young man was extremely calm and steady. His ability to control fire was very strong, and his flames were also very terrifying. These extremely outstanding geniuses were not only outstanding in crafting weapons, but their own abilities were also very strong.
Gongsun Ye, You Tu, Chi Lian, Yu Ming, and the others were all quite famous, especially Gongsun Ye. His reputation was so great that it could even be said that he wasn't inferior to Di Gang of the Emperor Family.
Alchemy City was a world of armorer. With Gongsun Ye's incredible talent, if he were to enter the City Lord Office and follow You Chi, his future would be limitless.
"Mu Ou's refining skills are very experienced, but unfortunately, he's too old." Someone else looked at Mu Ou and said. His armorer ability was strong, but his cultivation talent was limited, and his achievements were also limited. The true top-notch armorer's talent in cultivation must not be bad. Otherwise, he would never be able to reach the peak.
You Chi was able to rank eighth on the Barren Sky Ranking because of his exceptional talent in both cultivation and armorer. That was why he became the symbol of Alchemy City.
Everyone's gazes swept across the crowd of people who were forging weapons. Some cultivators saw Xue Ye and Luo Fan and could not help but reveal a strange expression. They asked, "What are they doing?"
Many people looked in that direction and saw Xue Ye frantically casting the runes of the matrix while Luo Fan continuously threw materials into the furnace to smelt. The furnace was like a cooking stove. The two of them did not seem to have any method of forging weapons. It was as if they only knew the principles of forging weapons but had never forged weapons before.
"Is that how the self-created ritual implement was made?" Many people had strange expressions on their faces. From the looks of it, it was not a self-created ritual implement. It was obvious that they were not familiar with forging weapons at all and did not have a mature method of forging weapons. They could only mechanically copy, which was why they made such a nondescript ritual implement.
Chu Ji of the Goddess Pavilion chuckled and said in a soft voice, "I didn't expect there to be such interesting people."
"Are they serious about participating in the Armorer Conference?"
With this level of armorer skills, they came to participate in the once-a-decade grand event of armorer?
Did they really expect to make it to the top 100 with this level of skill?
Ye Futian heard the voices coming from the stairs in the distance and was speechless. Those two guys had finally been discovered.
"You don't say. Although they don't know how to forge weapons, they do have some skill. At least the flames and the ability to carve matrices are really good. If they study crafting weapons seriously for a few years, they might be able to achieve great things," someone said with a smile.
"This kind of method is good for fun. As for participating in the Alchemy Conference, they are just asking to be humiliated," Di Gang said emotionlessly. He looked at the two as if they were idiots. What kind of place do they think the Alchemy Conference is?
"Anyone who is skilled in armorer can participate in the Alchemy Conference. There will naturally be all kinds of people," Di Gang said plainly.
Zhuge Mingyue and Zhuge Canyang did not say anything. Xue Ye and Luo Fan had been to the Zhuge family before, but they had never shown their faces in public. They were not top-notch figures, so it was only natural that no one knew about them and their relationship with Zhuge Mingyue.
"Geniuses." At that moment, a voice was heard. Many people turned to look at Ye Futian, who was on the spectator stand. Ye Futian smiled and said, "They don't know the art of armorer, so they are probably new to it. Although I don't know much about armorer, I feel that they are rare geniuses. If they are trained well, they will definitely become top-notch armorer."
Everyone looked at Ye Futian in shock. While many people were mocking the two's armorer skills, Ye Futian actually called them geniuses.
Geniuses like that?
Ye Futian did not care about what they thought. No matter what Xue Ye and Luo Fan's motives for participating in the Alchemy Conference, even if their performance was somewhat unsightly, he could not stand others criticizing them. After all, they were his senior brothers, and he naturally had to speak up for them.
Di Gang also looked at Ye Futian and smiled faintly. "Are you also a genius like that?"
A few days ago, he heard from Di Zhou that Ye Futian had led a group of Holy Zhi Palace disciples to defeat Li Futu's group. Therefore, when he first arrived, he had said that since Li Futu had participated in that battle, he had naturally lost. Although the Holy Zhi Palace was known as the number one holy land in the Barren State, they also had people like Bai Luli. Ye Futian had won the Law Battle as a Grade Nine Noble back then, so he was naturally very outstanding.
However, he still believed that in this generation, he would be the most dazzling person, including Bai Luli and Ye Futian.
Ye Futian looked at Di Gang. He had never seen him before, but he saw a hint of arrogance and disdain in Di Gang's eyes. It was as if in Di Gang's eyes, Ye Futian was only someone to be stepped on.
Ye Futian smiled and guessed Di Gang's identity. Di Gang of the Emperor Family, who was known as the most talented person in the southwest.
"I'm not good at armorer," Ye Futian replied with a smile.
"I heard that a few days ago, Ye Futian sang a song in the Holy Zhi Palace and merged the spiritual will of everyone into one. As the number one in the Law Battle who entered the Holy Zhi Palace three years ago, you are good at many fields," Di Gang said.
"It's alright." Ye Futian was still smiling.
"It's just that if you train too much, it's easy to be mixed up and not be good at it. Since you have such talent, why don't you put your energy into training in one field?" Di Gang continued, "Just like the two of them, even if they are talented in armorer, wouldn't it be inappropriate to train in armorer halfway through?"
"How is your brother Di Zhou's talent?" Ye Futian asked with a smile.
"It's alright. While not too outstanding, he can still be called a genius," Di Gang said.
"Di Gang of the Emperor Family is humble." Ye Futian smiled and said, "However, while I train in many fields and am not proficient in any field, I can still beat the geniuses you speak of in any field. As such, you don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to worry about the armorer. Just think about your own business."
Many people looked at the two young men with amused expressions. One was the most dazzling genius in the Alchemy City region, and the other was a famous figure in the Holy Zhi Palace. From their words, it was clear that they were at loggerheads.
Ye Futian's meaning was clear. The person that Di Gang was talking about could crush a genius like his brother in any field. As such, Di Gang should mind his own business and take care of his own people.
Ye Futian still had a faint smile on his face. While Di Gang claimed to be the most talented person in the Alchemy City region, they were from the Holy Zhi Palace, and Di Gang was not in Di Gang's place to criticize them. As for dragging Di Zhou into this, it was naturally because he could not stand Di Gang humiliating his two brothers in public. Since Di Gang was being rude, he would naturally return the favor.
"What do you mean by that?" Di Zhou, who was behind Di Gang, looked extremely cold. Was Ye Futian using him to humiliate him?
"Anyone can participate in the Alchemy Conference as long as they are armorer. There are rules to judge who is good or bad, and there is no need for others to interfere. Furthermore, since when did a noble have the right to judge those who participate in the Alchemy Conference?" Ye Futian smiled faintly, causing everyone's expression to change again. Is he going against Di Gang directly?
"Furthermore, that is my brother," Ye Futian said with a smile. As soon as he finished, everyone looked at the two armorers, and then at Ye Futian. Ye Futian's expression was calm and at ease. This young genius who had risen to fame in the Holy Zhi Palace was proud to say that the two armorers were his brothers, and he did not shy away from anything just because the two armorers did not perform well.
If that was the case, then it made sense for him to retort. So that's how it is.
"Someone from the Holy Zhi Palace?" Di Gang looked surprised.
"My brother before I entered the Holy Zhi Palace," Ye Futian said.
"Interesting." Di Gang heard Ye Futian's words and smiled. "It's a pity that your plane is a little low."
If Ye Futian's plane was a little higher, at the same level as him, then it might have been more interesting.
A light laugh was heard. Everyone turned around and saw Zhuge Mingyue smiling brightly. She said, "Grade Nine Noble won the Law Battle three years ago, Grade Eight Noble ranked tenth on the Law Rank of the Holy Zhi Palace, and Grade Four Noble made the Alchemy Casino lose money. If his plane was a little higher, how would the other nobles of the Barren State play? Little brother, am I right?"
Zhuge Mingyue smiled at Ye Futian. This guy did not learn anything else well, but he did learn a lot about the Cottage's ability to protect his own.
Everyone looked at Zhuge Mingyue and suddenly understood something. Rumor had it that Zhuge Mingyue came from the Eastern Barren Territory, and Ye Futian was her little brother. The two people who participated in the Alchemy Conference, Ye Futian called them brothers, so they were naturally Zhuge Mingyue's little brothers. The words "little brother" made it clear. No wonder she came.
Moreover, didn't she include Di Gang when she asked how the other nobles of the Barren State would play?
"Interesting. Why don't we have a martial arts competition right before the Alchemy Conference?" Chu Ji chuckled. "Many young geniuses from all over the Barren State have come today."
