the royal court looked utterly bewildered.Feng Tianxiang had won a match and was returning with a smug look on his face. Seeing this scene, he asked in confusion, "What's he doing Is he trying to ref...On the side of the Alchemist Guild, Wen Ding stood there dumbfounded for a long time after Ye Bufan and the others had completely left.

By contrast, Zhao Chengqi was much more composed, having already returned to normal.

"Dude, are you okay"

Zhao Chengqi tugged at his sleeve.

Then Wen Ding woke up as if from a dream, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "It's me, the old man, who was impulsive. I shouldn't have taken someone as my disciple."

"With this level of alchemy, even I can't compare to him. What qualifications do I have to be his master"

Zhao Chengqi said: "Elder, you flatter me. Although this young man's talent is extraordinary, he is still refining low-grade magic weapons after all, and it's too early to tell anything."

This is different, seeing the small to understand the large. Although they are refining low-level magic weapons, one can still see their skill in crafting them.

Wen Ding pointed with his finger to the five iron swords in his hand: "To forge five top-grade magic weapons in such a short time, this kind of ability neither you nor I possess."

In my old man's opinion, the only one comparable to him would be Lu Chao Zong, the divine tool master of Kunlun from many years ago. There's no second person like him in the world anymore.

"This..."

Zhaochengqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Elder, isn't that a bit too much Lu Chaozong has the best talent for refining weapons in the world. For so many years, no one has been able to compare with him."

"An old man is confident he won't make a mistake."

Wen Ding shook his head, as if remembering something, and looked around before asking, "What about that little guy"

The young man beside her stepped forward and said, "Grand Elder, he's gone. It seems like he went to sign up for the Refining Competition."

"No, even if this kind of talent cannot be taken as a disciple, this old man must visit him properly."

After finishing his words, Wen Ding hurried towards the registration desk, Zhao Chengqi following closely behind.

After Ye Bufan finished the registration, he was just about to leave when he turned around and bumped into two old men coming towards him.

Looking at Wen Ding's excited face, he couldn't help but smile wryly. "Old man, I really can't take you as my master."

"I know, I know, I was just being reckless. It was me, the old man."

Wen Ding's face was full of apology, "Young brother, this old man came here just to make your acquaintance. I don't know your name."

“Oh!”

Seeing that the old man wasn't asking him to become his disciple, and was being so polite, Ye Bufan smiled and said, "My name is Ye Bufan!"

"What's with the junior and senior titles You, my young brother, have forging skills that are equal to mine. Let's just be equals from now on."

"Wen Ding said generously, 'Ye, little brother, you don't seem to be from around here, do you Have you found a place to stay yet Why not come to my humble abode Let's talk under the candlelight.'"

"Well then, excuse me."

Ye Bufan wasn't a sentimental person, since the old man was sincere in wanting to be friends with him, he didn't refuse. The group returned to the Alchemist's Guild once more.

Wen Ding had arranged accommodation for everyone, then excitedly took Ye Bufan to his room and chatted excitedly with Zhao Chengqi and the others.

The three of them chatted more and more excitedly. As time passed, the two old men discovered that this young man's knowledge and skill in alchemy were definitely not inferior to their own.

Although Ye Bufan was skilled in refining artifacts, he didn't know much about the relevant common sense of refining on the Kunlun Continent. He gained a lot from these two old men.

He asked, "Two seniors, I wonder how the Alchemist's Guild divides the levels of mastery in alchemy"

Wen Ding said: "We divide artifacts into five grades, which is the same as the five-tier test you experienced before."

What follows is spiritual energy, divided into four grades: inferior, middle, superior, and top-grade. Corresponding to these are the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks.

If one could forge top-grade spiritual artifacts, they would undoubtedly be a peerless figure in the world of artifact refinement.

Lu Cheng is renowned throughout the Kunlun Continent for its craftsmanship, but those capable of forging ninth-order spirit artifacts are numbered among the few.

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded and asked again, "Is the ninth rank the highest level What's above it"

"Nineth order isn't the highest, there's a tenth order above it."

Zhao Chengqi said, "Only a tenth-order Alchemist can refine divine weapons, but that's easier said than done. In the past hundred years, only one Divine Weapon Refiner, Lu Chao Zong from Kunlun Continent, has emerged."

Wen Ding sighed with emotion: "Speaking of the Kunlun artifact spirits, this old man can't help but recall that alchemical competition from back then."

At that time, Lu Zhaozong rode alone and left others behind, crushing all the strong opponents. In the end, he even forged the divine weapon Zhanlong Sword, instantly securing his position as the God of Kunlun Artifacts.

It's ridiculous that some people are now saying the Kunlun artifact was cheating back then. How is that even possible My old eyes aren't easily fooled by anyone!

Zhao Chengqi followed up, "That's right. Although the Lu family is known as the first family of alchemists, the only one who earns our admiration is Lu Zhaozong."

Wen Ding sighed: “It’s a pity that Kunlun Qishen is too straightforward and not good at scheming. He was framed by villains and his life and death are unknown.”

Ye Bufan didn't directly reveal his identity and said, "How do you two know that the Kunlun artifact spirit was framed"

Wen Ding said: “I have met with the Kunlun Artifact Spirit many times, so I naturally know what kind of person he is. It’s impossible for him to do such a thing.”

"You're right, even though that thing is common knowledge, I still don't believe it."

Lu Chao Zong, being a man of integrity, devoted himself wholeheartedly to the art of refining weapons. He had no distractions and was not one given to lust.

Secondly, as a Kunning-grade divine being, what kind of woman wouldn't he have How could he possibly do such a foolish thing.

"Actually, many people know that it was Lu Chaoyang, the current head of the Lu family, who framed Kunlun's artifact spirit. It's just that no one dares to speak up."

Wen Ding said here, and again looked at Ye Bufan with concern, "Ye Xiaoyou, are you going to sign up for the Refining Competition this time"

"Yes, I've already signed up."

Wen Ding showed a worried expression: "Ye Xiaoxia, let me tell you, you have to be careful. Lu Chaoyang is absolutely cunning and ruthless, he would even scheme against his own brother."

"If you're mediocre, it's fine. But if you excel too much, you might invite disaster."

Ye Bufan said, "Grand Elder, what do you mean"

Wen Ding said: "This alchemy competition was organized by Lu Chaoyang. If I'm not mistaken, he has two main objectives."

First, although he is now the head of the family, the Lu family has always prioritized alchemy. The title of Kunlun Artifact God still rests on Lu Zhaozong's head.

This is extremely detrimental to him. In the short term, perhaps nothing will happen, but in the long run, it could very well jeopardize his position as head of the family.

So this time, they're holding a refining competition, using lofty words to call upon all the refiners on the Kunlun continent to participate.

But in fact, he had already considered the throne of the Kunlun Divine as his own, absolutely not allowing anyone else to touch it.

Once this little brother's alchemy skills become too advanced, and he feels threatened, this guy will use any means necessary.

"Does Lu Chaoyang have the ability to covet the reputation of Kunlun's Artifact God"

Ye Bufan frowned slightly, apparently this was somewhat beyond his expectations.

In his eyes, this head of the Lu family was just a cunning and insidious villain who shouldn't have that kind of strength.or that.""Come and attack our formation if you dare! If you can break it, I'll kneel down and call you ancestor!"After he finished speaking, everyone from the Bei Qiong Sword Sect burst into laughter....
