304 Five Cities Weapon Refining Competition

Chapter 304

As a local and friend of Zhao Rongkun, Jin Lin hosted a banquet for him and Zhuo Xiuyang, and Feng Ming and the other four were also invited.

The banquet was held in the best restaurant in the city. Before, Jin Lin had not yet made a clear connection with Feng Ming and the other four, and Zhao Rongkun's arrival just gave him the opportunity.

Privately, Jin Lin joked with Zhao Rongkun: "You didn't send me a message earlier to tell me that these four were coming."

Zhao Rongkun said helplessly: "I am actually just a casual acquaintance with the four seniors. They are more interested in Xiuyang than my friends."

Zhao Rongkun embarrassedly told the story of how he met these four in Quanchuan City before, and Jin Lin laughed after listening.

In fact, he had received news at first that Zhao Rongkun, the young master of the Zhao family, had developed a strong interest in a pair of twins in Quanchuan City. He had tested Zhao Rongkun and found that it was not the case.

But to be honest, before meeting Zhuo Xiuyang, he had not thought that Zhao Rongkun was really interested in a man.

"Senior is indeed worthy of being a senior. He saw through the true relationship between you at a glance, and was willing to help you. Otherwise, with your slow speed, when would you be able to catch up with the person?"

Zhao Rongkun punched him when he saw his joking look.

At the banquet, Jin Lin and Zhao Rongkun talked about some interesting things in the city, and the atmosphere was quite good.

Zhao Rongkun also joked about the golden decoration style of Jinming Pavilion, which has long become a symbol of the Jin family.

When it comes to golden decoration, no one will mention other families, only the Jin family, which can be said to be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Therefore, over time, the Jin family not only did not think it was strange, but was proud of it, and the Jin family's dressing style also followed this style.

Although Zhao Rongkun and Jin Lin are friends, to be honest, he can't accept his friend's aesthetic style. Feng Ming and his

friends have been in Rongcheng for a while, and they are not completely ignorant of Rongcheng. They know that there are three major weapon refining families in Rongcheng, namely the Jin family, the Feng family and the Wu family.

Each of the three families has a fifth-grade weapon refiner sitting in the seat, forming a three-legged tripod in Rongcheng.

But so far, the only one among the three great families who came to Fengming to place an order for pills was the Jin family.

At that time, Jin Lin did not know the relationship between Zhao Rongkun and Fengming, and he did not have an arrogant attitude, otherwise the four Fengming people would not have accepted the invitation.

The three competing families inevitably had frictions and conflicts from time to time.

At the banquet, Zhao Rongkun mentioned something: "I remember that the Five Cities Weapon Refining Competition will start soon."

Feng Ming felt that there was gossip to be heard when he heard about this competition, and asked: "When does it start? It will be very interesting, right?"

Zhao Rongkun had a certain understanding of this person, and knew that he was interested, so he explained: "In fact, this weapon refining competition was originally held by Rongcheng to attract weapon refining talents, and wanted to absorb outstanding weapon refining talents to join its own forces.

Later, as Rongcheng's status in the weapon refining world improved, the influence of this weapon refining competition gradually expanded, It is no longer limited to Rongcheng, and other cities that want to compete with Rongcheng for the status of the weapon refining world have joined in.

So far, there are five cities that have joined in. "

As a bystander, Zhao Rongkun saw it more clearly: "In the beginning, the weapon refining competition was more about selecting talents to exchange weapon refining skills, but today, it has become a stage for all parties to compete for strength. The fire and gunpowder in the competition are getting stronger and stronger. I wonder what will happen in this round of the weapon refining competition."

The gossipy look on Feng Ming's face became stronger, and even Qiu Yi looked at Zhao Rongkun, hoping that he would say more.

Feng Ming asked, "So, something unpleasant happened in the last competition?"

Zhuo Xiuyang immediately answered, "I know, I know. There was a good story at the last weapon refining competition. The young lady of the Wu family and the young master of a weapon refining family in another big city made an alliance because of their connection with weapons. Later, the two families held a wedding, and I even rushed from Quanchuan City to Rongcheng to watch."

Feng Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this. The so-called good story might not be beneficial to the Jin family. Because the Wu family had formed an alliance with the outer city family, their power had expanded, and the pressure on the Jin family must have been great. Then what about the other family, the Feng family?

Jin Lin roughly knew this person's character, laughed and shook his head, and said: "Let me tell you, the rumors outside are good, but in fact, the two families had colluded with each other privately before the competition, and deliberately made some moves during the competition. In fact, no one knows the truth. Outsiders think this is a good story, but it is very disadvantageous to Rongcheng."

"You four should know that the reason why Rongcheng and its weapon-refining families have their current status is closely related to the special environment of Rongcheng itself.

It can be said that without Rongcheng, there would be no Jin family, a weapon-refining family like us today.

Those outside forces have actually been eyeing Rongcheng for a long time. Although the Jin, Feng, and Wu families compete and even have friction from time to time, they have a certain tacit understanding among each other, that is, none of the three families will give up Rongcheng, and the three families will unite against the outside world when necessary."

Fengming and the other three nodded after listening. Jinlin's words made sense. Without the environment of Rongcheng, although these three families could have become weapon-refining families, they would never have the influence they have today in the Ximing Dynasty.

When they came to Rongcheng, they could see that the three great families were the pillars, but because of the characteristics of Rongcheng, they continuously absorbed the surrounding weapon refiners. The three great families absorbed talents in this way, which could ensure that their family's status in the weapon refinery world remained unchanged.

Once such characteristics were lost, their strength would be much worse.

It can be said that in the entire Feihong Continent, there is no city like Rongcheng that has such a large number of weapon refiners.

Although there are no Jin family, Feng family, including Wu family, other families will appear. As long as Rongcheng is there, new families will appear.

But now, who of these families in Rongcheng is willing to give up this great benefit.

"So the Wu family and outsiders have joined forces to target your Jin and Feng families? Is the Wu family so short-sighted?"

Jin Lin sneered, "The Wu family doesn't think they are short-sighted. They just want more. They are not satisfied with the three-way balance of power. They want to dominate with one family."

Feng Ming asked curiously, "What about the Feng family?"

Zhao Rongkun smiled and said, "A few years ago, a girl from an aristocratic family married into the Feng family."

Feng Ming suddenly realized that the Feng family was also flirting with other forces outside, and asked again, "Has the Jin family not expanded outside?"

Zhao Rongkun spoke for his friend, with a hint of ridicule, "There are many girls from aristocratic families who want to marry Jin Lin, but it's a pity that Jin Lin has already made an appointment and doesn't want to break the contract."

Jin Lin's face turned slightly red when he was teased. This guy couldn't even handle his own affairs, yet he was teasing him. He said, "The forces outside are ambitious. If we really let them enter Rongcheng, it will not be easy to drive them away. Our Jin family still wants to try hard."

Zhao Rongkun patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "There are not many weapon refiners of the younger generation who want to defeat you, Jin Lin, unless they invite external aid, such as help from Shengyuan Sect, but that would be an unfair victory."

Feng Ming: "Even if they invite weapon refinery disciples from Shengyuan Sect, with Fellow Daoist Jin's strength as a fourth-grade weapon refiner, he may not lose to them."

Zhao Rongkun nodded, "Yes, so I still have high hopes for Brother Jin Lin."

Jin Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't have that much confidence.

"How can I be considered a genius? I am just old. I couldn't even get into the Tianluo Secret Realm selection. I heard that many young geniuses emerged from all the major forces. One day, a young man was less than 20 years old when he participated in the opening of the Tianluo Secret Realm. Compared with those talents, I am ashamed."

Feng Ming blinked. This is him, right? In fact, it is him. How come the topic has shifted from Jin Lin and others to them?

When this topic was mentioned, not only Jin Lin, but also Zhao Rongkun and Zhuo Xiuyang were quite interested.

The three of them not only dug up the names of the geniuses who appeared when the secret realm was opened, including the names of Feng Ming and the other four, but also talked about a competition of alchemy between Qiu Yi and the disciples of Shengyuan Sect before the secret realm was opened.

The four of them, wearing changed appearances and another layer of vests, heard their own names coming out of other people's mouths. This feeling was really subtle.

Qiu Yi and Ji Yuan were encountering such a thing for the first time. They didn't know what expression to put on. Should they agree or disagree?

They were not as thick-skinned as Feng Ming, who could praise himself in front of others.

Look, listening to others praising Feng Ming, a young genius who was less than 20 years old at the time, and Feng Ming was not stingy with praise, Qiu Yi's expression almost twisted.

Jin Lin and Zhao Rongkun were talking with great interest: "At that time, Pharmacist Qiu Yilian said that he could only compete with Pharmacist Feng Minglian if he was better than him. Everyone thought he was just saying it casually. The name of Pharmacist Qiu Lian as a genius has been heard not only by Shengyuan Sect, but also by us in Ximing. There are people who are more talented than him. As a result, we all thought wrongly."

Fengming shook his head and said, "How could you think wrongly? Pharmacist Qiu Lian's family background is so high, he is the relative of Emperor Dongmu. "Grandson, how can such a person of status disdain to lie? I am different from you. I think it is really extraordinary when I hear it."

Jin Lin laughed and said, "It is still the pharmacist Wen Lian who has good vision. However, in my opinion, the pharmacists Wen Lian and Ji Lian are also very good in the art of refining medicine. They may not be unable to compete with them in the future."

Feng Ming laughed and raised his glass to drink with Jin Lin. This man is really good at talking.

Qiu Yi almost swallowed a mouthful of wine. Feng Ming, this bastard, is he praising him or himself?

Jin Lin was indifferent and very happy: "What is most unexpected is that the master of Feng Lian Pharmacist, after the Tianluo Secret Realm was closed, successfully advanced to the Kaihun Realm and became another sixth-grade alchemy master. My Jin family also sent people to congratulate and wanted to ask the master for pills. Unfortunately, there were too many forces and cultivators asking for pills. My Rongcheng Jin family was really inconspicuous among them and had no chance to get close to the master."

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo looked at each other. They didn't expect such a thing to happen.

However, there were too many forces going there at that time, so how could they remember it so clearly.

At that time, Feng Ming didn't even know that there was a place like Rongcheng in Ximing, so of course he didn't know about a family from here.
