Finally, it was the day of the Godly Refiner's Gathering. Ye Kai arrived at the competition grounds long ago, since it was already packed tight with countless visitors. With great difficulty, Ye Kai managed to squeeze his way in with his registration form, and was then brought to a designated location to wait.1
These people were all common commoner divine blacksmiths, and the previous registration was for them as well. As for the disciples from those large clans, if they had a divine refinement disciple within their own clan, they would definitely not give it up. Furthermore, relying on their clan's connections, they would not need to register at all, much less stay together with poor people like them.
Ye Kai and the others did not have to wait for too long. The representatives of the various great sects had already arrived.
"Since everyone is here, let the Godly Refiner's Conference begin!" Many people were wondering why the emperor did not step forward for such an important matter like the Alchemist Grand Meeting, but instead sent members of the royal family to act as elders.
Only the eyes of the old man sitting beside him flickered as if he was deep in thought. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"First round of the preliminaries, please enter the stage!"
Hearing the voice, Ye Kai walked out with the divine blacksmiths that he had been waiting for for for a long time. He arrived at the center of the stands, and at other places, there were also a few noble disciples with elegant clothes and arrogant expressions.
The next round would be a competition of strength between the divine blacksmiths of the various large and powerful families. As the rewards were bountiful and also a good opportunity to become famous, naturally, the various large clans were not willing to miss it.
There were extremely few divine blacksmiths, and they could be said to be an existence that could only be encountered by chance and not sought after. Thus, there were not many new generation of divine blacksmiths participating in every single session, so the second round was the real focus.
"You need to refine a sword within two hours. As for what you want to refine, that is up to you. After that, we will grade it according to the quality of the items you refine!" The old man indifferently announced the rules of the competition. Then, he waved his hand and a few streaks of light fell into the hands of Ye Kai and the others.
Ye Kai received it and realised it was a spatial jade stone. The old man continued, "The materials I gave you are all the same. As for what kind of weapon you can forge, that will depend on your abilities! Alright, let's cut to the chase and start now! "
The old man then sat back down on his chair without another word. Everyone turned silent as they observed Ye Kai and the rest, waiting for the result to appear.
Ye Kai was currently immersed in the space jade with his consciousness at the moment. He was inspecting the materials and considering what kind of weapon he was going to forge, he did not know that there were already several great figures in the distance staring at him, but some had expressions of admiration in their eyes as they nodded their heads slightly. Some of their eyes were ice-cold and filled with killing intent, wishing that they could hack him into a thousand pieces.
Similarly, among the participants in the competition, there was one person who seemed to be looking at him from the corner of his eyes. However, he seemed to not know about any of this.
