"You mean the Ren family and the Meng family are going to hold a pill-making and weapon-crafting competition?" Dongfang Mian asked.
Aju nodded and said, "So the Ren family is a family of alchemists, and the Meng family is a family of weapon crafters. The marriage between the two families can be described as a powerful alliance. It is said that they will hold an alchemy and weapon crafting competition before the wedding ceremony. Although it is said that everyone can participate, the prodigy of the Ren and Meng families in this marriage is already a genius among his peers. This competition is just to add some gimmick to the wedding. The final champion will definitely be the two of them."
"I see," Dongfang Mian nodded knowingly. "This is to create momentum for the two newlyweds."
Although Dongfang Mian couldn't bear to do something like this to disrupt someone's wedding, this was the only chance she could get in touch with both families. At worst, she could just admit defeat after obtaining the artifact fragments.
Dongfang Mian did not believe that the two new prodigies could surpass her in alchemy and weapon crafting. She had practiced in her spare time before, and now she could not only draw the pill patterns on her own pills, but also draw the inscriptions on her own weapons. She estimated that she could not find another one like her in the entire Three Realms.
Moreover, perhaps due to the inheritance of the divine master, the things refined by Dongfang Mian are very likely to develop spirituality. You should know that whether a divine artifact has a spirit or not makes a world of difference.
Dongfang Mian signed up amidst the crowd of onlookers without attracting anyone's attention.
A month later, the preliminary rounds of the alchemy and weapon crafting competition began. Because there were so many participants, half of them would be eliminated in the preliminary rounds.
What troubles Dongfang Mian the most is that the alchemy and weapon-making competitions are being held simultaneously, making it seem less easy to make a name for oneself.
Dongfang Mian arrived at the alchemy area first. Countless stone platforms with numbers had been arranged. She found her number, stood on it, and took out her alchemy furnace.
Not long after, two stone platforms rose up in the air and floated in mid-air. Just when Dongfang Mian thought these were the referee's positions, a man and a woman walked hand in hand through the air and landed steadily on the two platforms.
"It's Ren Qingyun and Meng Nianxi," came the voice of someone nearby immediately.
Wow~ They're such a perfect match, a match made in heaven!
"Yeah, I'm so envious, their talent is so high."
"By the way, why doesn't Meng Nianxi go to the weapon forging area?"
"Are you crazy? With their skill level, why would they even participate in the preliminary rounds? They're just here to observe. They won't even start competing until the finals."
"..."
"How arrogant," Dongfang Mian thought to herself. "Why are they showing off their love instead of participating in the competition? This way of making an entrance completely disregards all the alchemists and weapon makers who are participating."
On the stage, Ren Qingyun and Meng Nianxi glanced at the people present and said, "I hope everyone performs well today. If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to join the Ren family and the Meng family in the future."
The scene erupted in uproar. Could it be that the purpose of the Ren and Meng families holding this competition was to recruit talented geniuses?
Immediately, the alchemists and weapon makers were filled with fighting spirit. The Ren and Meng families were the most powerful alchemy and weapon-making families in the human realm, which supported their position as two major families in the immortal realm.
Soon, the preliminary rounds were announced to have begun.
Due to time constraints, Dongfang Mian hurriedly threw all the materials in, then wrapped the entire furnace with a supreme bloodline disguised as fire attribute and slowly refined it. She immediately ran off the arena and headed to an empty arena in the weapon refining area.
"Stop! Where are you going?!" The elders sent by the Ren and Meng families were maintaining order during the competition.
