“I think it’ll work,” Leng said after some serious thought.

“Uh! Cheapsake Old Ancestor, I was joking,” Leng Ruoxue quickly said. Even though Ruhua was a little annoying, it wasn’t to the point of having to kill her.

“I’m serious. When I find a good opportunity, I’ll kill her,” Leng Xiaoyu whispered.

“Uh! Freak! I didn’t hear anything.” Leng Ruoxue leaned into the freak’s arms and said weakly. Oh! Could the Old Ancestor be serious?!

“Hehe!” The freak couldn’t help but chuckle happily when he saw Xue’er’s frightened expression.

At the same time, the second round of the weapon refinement competition officially began.

The second round of the competition was still at the spirit artifact level. However, storage equipment was required. Storage equipment belonged to the spatial category and could be considered the most difficult of all equipment.

As for the appearance of the storage equipment, there were no additional requirements. In other words, one could refine what they liked according to the blacksmith’s preferences.

As for the rules of evaluation, in addition to quality, the size of the storage space was also an important criterion.

After hearing the host’s request, the disheveled old man methodically took out the materials needed to refine storage equipment. After lighting the furnace and preheating it, he threw the materials into the furnace in order…

A moment later, all the materials were completely melted and purified. Immediately after, the disheveled old man outlined the appearance of the storage equipment he wanted.

The storage equipment that Old Man Zao wanted to refine was a ring. This was also the most common appearance of storage equipment. However, he was very confident in the storage ring that he wanted to refine. After all, the materials he had prepared were the best, and the quality of the refinement would definitely be above that of all the blacksmiths.

The main material for refining a storage ring was the Void Stone. Void Stones were also divided into four types: elementary, intermediate, high, and supreme-grade. Among them, elementary and intermediate Void Stones were relatively cheaper, while supreme-grade Void Stones were at least ten times more expensive than intermediate ones. However, supreme-grade Void Stones were priceless.

The main material for refining a storage ring was the Void Stone. Void Stones were also divided into four types: elementary, intermediate, high, and top-grade. Among them, elementary and intermediate Void Stones were relatively cheaper, while high-grade Void Stones were at least ten times more expensive than intermediate ones. However, supreme Void Stones were priceless.

About an hour later.

Old Man Zao finally completed his work. even though it was a little wasteful to use a supreme-level Void Stone to refine a spirit artifact-level storage ring, he couldn’t be blamed! Who asked the girl’s lowest level Void Stones to be supreme grade! Even if he wanted to find a intermediate-level Void Stone, he couldn’t! He felt very aggrieved, okay?

Old Man Zao couldn’t help but secretly grumble. Fortunately, no one else could hear his thoughts. Otherwise, they would definitely vomit blood.

In the audience.

The corners of Leng Xiaoyu’s mouth twitched as he looked at Old Man Zao in the middle of the arena. Especially when he saw Old Man Zao take out a dark blue void stone, his thoughts were the same as most of the people present!

What a waste! Such a quality Void Stone could definitely be refined into a sacred-level storage equipment. Moreover, its quality was definitely of the highest quality. But now, it was actually used by the disheveled old man to refine a spirit artifact. This made his heart ache.

“Little Xue’er, why did you give him a supreme Void Stone?” Leng Xiaoyu said speechlessly. Because storage equipment was precious, the price of Void Stones had always been high, especially supreme Void Stones.

“There’s nothing else. The Void Stone I gave him is already the worst one,” Leng Ruoxue explained calmly. The materials for this artifact refinement competition were all prepared by the participating artifact masters, so the quality of the materials was also uneven. However, in Leng Ruoxue’s opinion, this was a test of the artifact masters’ ability!

While Leng Xiaoyu was sighing, the artifact masters in the competition had already finished refining their equipment. However, because there were still too many people, they still had to wait until the afternoon to know the results of the second round. However, after seeing the materials used by Old Man Zao, they did not expect to get first place.

After the second round of the competition ended, Leng Ruoxue and the others quickly returned to their residence.

In the Artificer Association’s meeting room.

Mo Yan looked at the results in his hands and nodded in satisfaction. The first place in this round was Old Man Zao again. Not bad. It seemed that the judges’ evaluation this time was quite fair.

However, the judges had no more questions, but Yin Rumei’s question came again.

“This match is unfair!” Yin Rumei suddenly shouted.

“How is it unfair?” Mo Yan raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, but he was annoyed. Did this woman have to find something to do? Why couldn’t she stop?

“Old Man Zao used a supremel Void Stone, while the other artificers only used elementary and intermediate ones. Therefore, this competition is unfair to the other artificers,” Yin Rumei argued.

“Do you mean that it would be fair if the other artificers also used supreme Void Stones?” Liu Feng said with a faint smile.

“How is that possible? Supreme Void Stones are expensive. How can these artificers afford to use them?” Yin Rumei said truthfully. In a competition that only tested one’s foundation, no artificers would use too good a material. Otherwise, what was the point of competing in the next few rounds?

“It’s different if they can’t afford it or can’t bear to use it. That’s their own problem. It doesn’t mean that it’s unfair to them if others use it. If they want good results, they can use high-level or even supreme Void Stones!” Liu Feng’s long speech stunned Yin Rumei.

“That old man can also use Elementary or Intermediate Void Stones! It doesn’t have to be a supreme one. This is the fairest for other weapon refiners,” Yin Rumei emphasized.
