You Chi looked at the alchemy area and said, "The ritual implements are finished. Next, let's determine the rankings."
"Yes." The elder on the stairs looked down at the crowd and said, "Next, we will examine all the ritual implements one by one and show them to everyone. The rankings will be determined and listed on the Alchemy Leaderboard. Finally, the City Lord and the heads of the clans in Alchemy City will judge. When there are no objections, the rankings will be announced on the spot."
After that, the three old men stepped into the alchemy area and started the examination from the person at the back. When they arrived in front of the person, they asked for the person's name. After that, they took the ritual implement and infused their Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Qi into it. This ritual implement was a ruler. It was once red, as if it had been dyed by blood. When the Spiritual Qi was infused into it, the blood-red ruler suddenly bloomed with a terrifying blood-red flame. It had a terrifying burning power, and the surrounding temperature suddenly became exceptionally high.
"Top-level offensive ritual implement. Although its attack power is strong, it is singular. It has medium martial arts attack, no defense, and no Spiritual Energy attack," the elder said. The other two elders then examined it and expressed no objections.
After that, they began to examine the second ritual implement. It was a bell with medium martial arts attack, medium defense, and medium Spiritual Energy attack. Clearly, this was a very good ritual implement.
"Impressive." Many people praised. Such a well-rounded ritual implement. Although it was only judged to be medium, it was still very strong. The City Lord Office was very strict with the evaluation of ritual implements. Although they were all top-level noble ritual implements, they would still be divided into four levels: low, medium, high, and superior. Otherwise, it would be difficult to distinguish the quality of everyone's ritual implements.
After all, these hundred people had all crafted top-level noble ritual implements.
One by one, the ritual implements were examined by the elder. Countless people stared at them, feeling the power of each ritual implement. Soon, a ritual implement that was judged to be high level appeared.
When it was time to examine Lv Wei, the ritual implement that he had crafted had high martial arts attack, high spell attack, and medium defense. It was extremely well-rounded.
At that moment, the elder came before Luo Fan and Xue Ye. Luo Fan was still sitting on the ground. Xue Ye had fainted, but his life was not in danger. Thus, he was temporarily left in the alchemy area to wait for the final result.
"This Dharma artifact has been infused with a Life Spirit. It's a treasure book that contains many methods. Take a closer look." Luo Fan reminded softly. The elder nodded and took out his ritual implement. Then, he channeled his spiritual energy and spiritual energy into it. Immediately, the pages of the treasured book released a dazzling light. Every page emanated an extremely powerful force.
Soon, the old man announced the result.
"It contains multiple offensive and defensive means. The offensive power of martial arts is top-notch, the offensive power of spells is top-notch, the defensive power is top-notch, and the spiritual attack is top-notch," the elder said. Immediately, there was an uproar.
Both of them were of superior quality. These two fellows who had just entered the path of artifact refinement had refined powerful artifacts of superior quality in all aspects. If they were to really learn artifact refinement for a few years, they would probably be very terrifying.
Ye Futian clenched his fists slightly. They were all of high quality. He hoped that he could get first place in this Alchemy Conference so that his senior brother's efforts wouldn't have been in vain.
You Xi's gaze was fixed on Xue Ye. There were still traces of tears at the corners of her eyes, but her face and eyes had become cold and determined again. If it weren't for the traces of tears, no one would have been able to tell that she was feeling anything.
After that, some of the geniuses in Alchemy City also refined superior quality ritual implements. However, no one could surpass the ritual implements made by Xue Ye and Luo Fan. Many people held their breath and waited. Even Ye Futian was nervous at the moment. He hoped that a miracle would happen.
"It's Chi Lian's turn." Many people stared in the direction of the elder. They saw the three of them walk up to Chi Lian and examine the heavy sword. Then, they announced the result.
"Superior martial arts attack, top notch defense."
"Powerful." Many people praised in their hearts. A superior offensive heavy sword. As expected of Chi Lian. However, between his and Xue Ye's ritual implements, which one was stronger?
"It's Yu Ming." Everyone was still holding their breath. The ritual implement was a chessboard, and the result of the examination was:
Superior martial arts attack, top notch sorcery attack, top notch defense, and contained control attack.
Then, the elder walked up to Mu Ou and examined the orb. The final result was: Superior sorcery attack, top notch Spiritual Energy attack, and contained Spiritual Energy defense.
Indeed, as many people had expected, although Mu Ou was strong, he was limited by his own cultivation talent. He wasn't as strong as those top geniuses. Making ritual implements would be limited by his martial arts talent.
Next was You Tu's Nine Dragon Tripod.
The result was: superior martial arts attack, top notch defense, and top notch Spiritual Energy attack. It was even stronger than Chi Lian's heavy sword, and contained Spiritual Energy attack.
The treasured book made by Xue Ye and Luo Fan would be in danger.
You Tu's ritual implement was not inferior to his.
The last person was Ximen Yan.
Ye Futian was extremely nervous at the moment. Although You Tu's ritual implement was excellent, his senior brother's ritual implement was not inferior. Moreover, it wouldn't matter if You Tu was first.
It all depended on the last person.
Gongsun Ye stood there quietly, waiting for the old man to walk forward. His expression didn't change in the slightest. The old man took over the Immortal Artifact painting scroll he had crafted, after which, he infused his mental energy and Spiritual Qi into it. In an instant, the painting scroll expanded, covering the entire sky. On the painting scroll, the pictures seemed to have come to life. There seemed to be a matrix on the painting scroll, frenziedly devouring the Spiritual Qi of the surroundings. The Spiritual Qi of the seven elements gushed into the painting, causing the three old men to raise their heads and look at the surroundings, their hearts trembling.
"This scroll contains the power of many matrices. It can be combined at will to devour the Spiritual Qi in the sky and turn it into terrifying offensive and defensive techniques. It even contains a wisp of the power of the Sage Plane. Superior sorcery attack, top notch Spiritual Energy attack, and top notch defense," the elder said. Everyone's eyes froze when they heard his evaluation.
This evaluation almost determined the result. The ritual implement made by Gongsun Ye would take first place in the Alchemy Conference.
First place in the Alchemy Ranking.
Gongsun Ye's expression did not change at all. He did not feel happy either. There was only anger. They thought they could surpass him just by sacrificing their souls to a ritual implement?
What a fool's dream. They should have completely given up now. However, Gongsun Ye was not happy at all.
Luo Fan, who was sitting on the ground, smiled. However, his smile was a little sad. He looked at Xue Ye beside him and said, "Senior, you still lost in the end."
After all, they had only just started cultivating armorer. They were not that skilled at it. If they had not sacrificed their souls to a ritual implement, they would not have been able to do this. Even so, they were still not as good as the most talented armorer.
"Did I lose?" Ye Futian's heart trembled. His senior had already done this, but he still lost.
Since his senior liked You Xi, he would have lost as long as he did not get first place.
Zhuge Mingyue was also a little sad. When she first found out about the incident, she was extremely angry. She had never been this angry before. Xue Ye's actions were undoubtedly suicidal. Even her father, the leader of the Zhuge Family, could not save Xue Ye, let alone her. How could the Alchemy City Lord forgive Xue Ye for committing such a grave mistake?
However, now that Xue Ye had done this, what else could she say? In the end, he still could not create a miracle and change fate.
You Xi's expression was as calm as ever. She just stood there quietly.
The three elders were already drawing up the preliminary list. After that, they gave it to You Chi and the leaders of the various clans in Alchemy City. After some slight adjustments, You Chi personally engraved the Alchemy Ranking.
In the quiet space, when You Chi stood up to announce the rankings, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully. Every name on the Alchemy Ranking could be a legend in the armorer world in the future.
Ye Futian did not listen. He was not in the mood.
The names were announced one by one. When there were only a few names left, he listened carefully. Mu Ou was sixth, Yu Ming fifth, and Chi Lian fourth.
Finally, the top three.
You Chi looked at the crowd and said, "Alchemy Ranking third, You Tu."
Everyone's hearts trembled. You Tu of the City Lord Office was only third.
"Alchemy Ranking second, Xue Ye and Luo Fan," You Chi continued. Countless people looked at the two. Xue Ye, who was lying on the ground, and Luo Fan, who was sitting on the ground. Their backs were bleak. They had gotten second place in the Alchemy Conference, but everyone could only feel the sad atmosphere.
"Alchemy Ranking first, Gongsun Ye," You Chi continued.
First place in the Alchemy Ranking was dazzling. He was the future legend of the armorer world. However, when everyone looked at Gongsun Ye, they did not feel his excitement. Everyone knew the reason. It was because of Xue Ye and You Xi. If they had not gotten first place, it would have been fine. Now, it had been proven that he had the right to get first place. He had gotten first place.
However, the woman he was supposed to marry had an affair with someone else. Moreover, it had happened in front of everyone. How could he show his face?
Marrying the daughter of the City Lord Office, You Chi's daughter, You Xi, should have been something that countless people were looking forward to and envious of. But now?
It was nothing.
As such, this year's Alchemy Conference was extremely strange. None of the top three were satisfied. You Tu must have been very disappointed with his own ranking.
"This year's Alchemy Conference ends here. The City Lord Office will host a banquet to welcome the people from all over the Barren State, as well as the armorer who made it to the top 100," You Chi said. Everyone understood that only the top figures from all over the Barren State had the right to host a banquet. Ordinary people would not be able to attend.
"At the banquet, the top 100 will also receive their own rewards. Now, follow me into the Office," You Chi said. Then, he turned around and walked into the City Lord's Mansion. The top figures around him followed him into the mansion.
Ye Futian, Zhuge Mingyue, and the others flashed and walked towards Xue Ye and Luo Fan.
You Xi also wanted to go, but she was blocked by two elders. She could only turn and enter the City Lord Office.
Seeing this, Gongsun Ye's expression became even more awkward. The two of them had feelings for each other. Luo Fan even called her sister-in-law. Did something happen between them?
