Su Jinyue put away the flame, raised her hand and waved it. A silver defensive armor flew out from the refining furnace and landed on the table. Looking at the defensive armor she had refined, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Elder Su is truly unfathomable, even dabbling in weapon refining." Elder Xu stroked his beard and looked at Su Jinyue with admiration. It was impossible for someone of Su Jinyue's age, let alone someone of his own, to have the energy to learn anything else besides practicing and refining pills.
Su Jinyue glanced around and found that most of the cultivators were still refining. Lan Moqi was only one step away from finishing his refining. His cousin Lan Moyu had already finished refining and was looking at Lan Moqi with a proud look on his face.
Looking at the magical weapon refined by Lan Moyu, it was a level 5 attack magical weapon, a crossbow. It seemed that this Lan Moyu was a strong rival for Lan Moqi. Lan Moqi was her friend and had helped her before, so naturally she had to help him as well.
As if noticing Su Jinyue's gaze, Lan Moyu turned to look at her and gave her a smile. He knew that Lan Moqi had a good relationship with Su Jinyue, the honorary elder of Dancheng, so he thought she must be Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue calmly withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes to rest. There was still about an incense stick of time left before the end of the game.
Lan Moyu smiled playfully. This woman was quite interesting.
As the gong of the competition sounded, the monks on the stage who had not yet finished refining their weapons had no choice but to stop.
The referee walked onto the stage, scanned the magic weapons refined by everyone with his spiritual sense, raised his hand and waved, and everyone's jade medals lit up at the same time, showing the scores of this competition.
Su Jinyue saw that her jade token showed a score of five, smiled, and walked off the stage. A full score was ten, and she had only refined a third-level magical weapon, so getting five points was already quite good.
Lan Moqi hurried a few steps to catch up with Su Jinyue. He had refined a fourth-level magical weapon, which earned him six points, but he didn't rank high. Many disciples from the Weapon City had participated in the competition, and they dominated the weapon refining world.
"Su...Su Jinyue." It was the first time Lan Moqi called her that, and he felt really uncomfortable.
Su Jinyue looked at Lan Moqi in surprise, "Why did you suddenly change your name?" When she first met Lan Moqi, she pretended to have amnesia, so she naturally didn't care what Lan Moqi called her. After that, she and Lan Moqi only met once. She thought that after that time, they would probably never see each other again, so she didn't specifically ask Lan Moqi to change his name. To her, a name was just a name, and she didn't care what he called her. After all, to her, Lan Moqi was just an ordinary friend.
When they met again in Dancheng, she discovered Lan Moqi's affection for her, so she also wanted to distance herself from him. She didn't want to hear him address her so intimately, but she didn't know when to bring it up. Unexpectedly, Lan Moqi changed the way he addressed her first.
Lan Moqi smiled sheepishly, "I don't think the name Xiaoshan suits you." He had figured it out now; he shouldn't have any extravagant expectations of someone who wasn't his. Furthermore, Su Jinyue's previous attitude had made it clear that she only considered him an ordinary friend. It wasn't nice for him to call her that intimately.
"I think so too." Su Jinyue nodded in agreement, and she and Lan Moqi looked at each other and laughed. She knew that she and Lan Moqi had become true friends at this point.
"The next one is the alchemy competition. You must participate, right?" Lan Moqi felt that he had let go, and it was easier for him to get along with Su Jinyue.
"Of course." Su Jinyue nodded with a smile.
"Go get ready! I'm looking forward to seeing your amazing performance." Lan Moqi said with a smile. Su Jinyue was an eighth-level alchemy master, and the upcoming alchemy competition would be hers.
Su Jinyue nodded and looked at Lan Moyu who was watching them. "Your cousin seems to have some opinions about you?"
Lan Moqi gave a bitter laugh. "These are all conflicts within the family." He also wanted to get along with Lan Moyu, but it wasn't something he could just wish for. He and Lan Moyu both carried the same expectations of their fathers. Lan Moyu didn't want to disappoint his father, and he didn't want to disappoint his own father either. So he absolutely couldn't give up the position of head of the family to Lan Moyu.
"Do you want to improve your weapon refining skills?" Su Jinyue asked. Lan Moqi was her friend, so she naturally wanted to help him if she could.
Lan Moqi looked at Su Jinyue in surprise, not understanding what she meant.
Su Jinyue smiled and said, "After the competition is over, come with me to the Alchemist Association's headquarters." Although her weapon refining technique could not be passed on to Lan Moqi, she could help him develop a weapon refining technique that suits him.
"Okay." Lan Moqi nodded in response.
Su Jinyue turned to look at the competition stage. The cultivators participating in the alchemy competition had already walked onto the stage. "I'm going up."
"Yeah." Lan Moqi responded.
Su Jinyue smiled and walked towards the stage.
"Su Jinyue, long time no see." Zhan Yeping's voice came from behind Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue stopped and looked at Zhan Yeping, sizing her up and down, "You are not Zhan Yeping." She was very familiar with Zhan Yeping, and she would definitely not be so calm when she saw herself.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhan Yeping's eyes, "Of course I am Zhan Yeping, Su Jinyue, just wait, when we fight, I will let you taste my power." He occupied Zhan Yeping's body and helped her fulfill her wish, which was considered to be the most he could do.
"You are the spirit within the Water Essence," Su Jinyue affirmed. The aura emanating from the other person was very similar to the aura she had previously sensed from the Water Essence. She hadn't expected that piece of Water Essence to be bought by Zhan Yeping. Perhaps this was fate.
Zhan Yeping laughed heartily. "So what if it is? I am Zhan Yeping now, and I have taken over her body. She hates you deeply, and I helped her destroy you, which can be regarded as fulfilling her wish."
Su Jinyue frowned, "Has her soul disappeared?" No matter how bad Zhan Yiping was, she was still Yihan's sister. If she could save her, she would definitely want to. Otherwise, she would feel bad.
Zhan Yeping smiled and shook her head, "Wait until I kill you, and then I'll make her soul disappear into thin air."
"That day won't come." Su Jinyue smiled coldly and walked towards the stage. Although she disliked Zhan Yiping, she would do her best to save her for Yihan's sake. Of course, if she couldn't save her in the end, there was nothing she could do. She just had to do it with a clear conscience, and she believed Yihan wouldn't blame her if he knew.
