With a loud thud, Dongfang Mian, who had leisurely brewed tea, casually tossed out a huge cauldron. She then laid out a row of high-quality refining materials on the tea table and tossed one of them into the cauldron.
This action deeply saddened the many weapon refiners in the audience.
"No way, that's top-grade Purple Cloud Crystal, and she just threw it in like trash?"
"Is that the point? The point shouldn't be that she threw the materials in without even refining them?"
"What a waste of resources! This is a blatant waste of resources!"
"Don't stop me, I'm going to report her to the Weapon Refiners' Association!"
"Who's stopping you? If you're going to leave, hurry up. You're blocking my view so I can't see her showing off."
On stage, after throwing the Purple Cloud Crystal in, Dongfang Mian seemed to do nothing and lay back down in her chair to take a nap.
The audience below began to speculate.
Has she given up?
"No, based on my observation just now, she can win simply by lying down. I've decided to give this way of winning a domineering name: 'Lying Down and Winning'."
Time passed quickly amidst everyone's speculations, and the weapon-refining competition ended smoothly without Dongfang Mian's sharp tongue causing trouble.
The weapon refiner dispatched by the Vermilion Bird Continent to be in charge of the appraisal was none other than the guild leader who had helped Dongfang Mian with her assessment in the Luo Qing Dynasty.
After taking the stage, he learned from the mistakes of his predecessors and skipped Dongfang Mian to appraise the spiritual weapons of the other three people first.
Because the forging time is too short, the quality of the forged spiritual weapons is not very high, mostly low to medium grade.
"Azure Dragon Academy: Flowing Cloud Sword, mid-grade low-level; White Tiger Academy: Blazing Fire Blade, low-grade high-level; Black Tortoise Academy: Thunder Cloud Hammer, mid-grade mid-level," the guild leader quickly finished appraising the weapons and then turned his expectant gaze to Dongfang Mian, wondering if this girl, whom he had never heard of before, would also surprise him with her weapon crafting skills.
As expected, Dongfang Mian started reaching into the cauldron and rummaging around. The president couldn't help but think of it as a beggar on the street searching for food in a garbage dump.
The students from the three academies were also watching her nervously, not daring to utter any sarcastic remarks, after all, too many people had fallen victim to her sharp tongue.
After rummaging around for a while, Dongfang Mian pulled out three bricks of the same size and handed them to the chairman. The latter looked at the three identical bricks in his hand and gave a bitter smile.
"Hahaha, what the hell is this piece of junk? Surely no one thinks this counts as a magical artifact?" Upon seeing this, the students from the three academies relaxed and began to mock him.
Dongfang Mian simply smiled and looked at the chairman, signaling him to proceed with the appraisal.
The guild leader had no choice but to look down and examine it closely, then a gasp rang out, "My God, this is a top-grade, exquisite... brick!"
These words caused an uproar. Students from the three academies immediately protested, shouting, "Cheating! Your Vermilion Bird Academy is covering it up! She doesn't even have metal-attribute spiritual energy; she couldn't possibly be refining weapons!"
"Exactly, you dare to call these few broken bricks top-grade artifacts? Do you think the people from the three major academies are all idiots?"
Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, the dean had no choice but to agree to let each of the other three academies send a weapon refiner to conduct the appraisal at the same time.
The weapon refiners from the three academies entered the scene with an attitude of "I'll kill you once I find something to use against you."
After some investigation, they all came to the same conclusion, their faces contorted in tears: This really is a top-grade, exquisite piece... a brick!
The students from the three academies instantly burst into tears, staring resentfully at their dean. Didn't you just say she couldn't forge weapons and only knew how to play tricks?
