Chapter 958: The Little Peacock Being Teased (2)

“500 is very young!” Leng Xiaoyu said helplessly.

“Uh! But he only became a Revered Artificer Refinement Master at 500 years old. His aptitude is too poor!” The disheveled old man couldn’t help but say.

“In the God Realm, it’s much harder to become a Revered Artificer Refinement Master than in the lower realm. There are fewer artifact refinement masters in the lower realm and more resources. Therefore, it’s relatively easier for a certain family to nurture an artifact refinement master. However, the God Realm is different. In the God Realm, there are more alchemists and artifact refinement masters than in the lower realm. The consequence of this is that the competition for resources is very intense. Other than some relatively large forces, some small families can’t afford to nurture an artifact refinement master or alchemist. Therefore, in the God Realm, it’s very difficult for artifact refinement masters and alchemists to advance.” Leng Xiaoyu sighed helplessly.

“How are those artificers and alchemists going to live?” The disheveled old man said gloomily. The combat power of blacksmiths and alchemists was inferior to others to begin with, so they naturally couldn’t compete with others for the good resources. Sigh! In that case, wouldn’t there be no way for blacksmiths and alchemists to survive in the God Realm?

“Basically, artifact masters and alchemists will rely on some powerful forces. This way, we can benefit from each other. However, joining a powerful force is equivalent to losing your freedom,” Leng Xiaoyu said helplessly. Alas! If there was a way, who would be willing to be controlled by others?

“Oh! Then can I participate in the artifact refinement competition?” The disheveled old man asked curiously.

“Have you gone to the Artificer Association to verify it?” Leng Xiaoyu asked. Even though he had already sensed the rich fire attribute divine power on this old man, he really did not expect this inconspicuous old man to be an artificer.

“Uh! I was certified when I was in the Ling Feng Continent. Does this count?” The disheveled old man couldn’t help but ask. He had been the President of the Artificer Association when he was in the Ling Feng Continent!

“No, regardless of whether you’re a native or an Ascender, if you want to participate in the competition, you have to go to the Artificer Association to be certified. Otherwise, the Artificer Association won’t acknowledge your identity, so you naturally won’t be able to participate in the competition!” Leng Xiaoyu explained.

“Oh! Girl, I want to participate in the competition.” The disheveled old man looked at Leng Ruoxue and asked pitifully.

“Then let’s participate!” Leng Ruoxue agreed. Hmph! Didn’t they capture the Cheapsake Old Ancestor for this competition champion? In that case, they would win this championship and let the Ascender Alliance cry!

“Yes, yes. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best,” the disheveled old man promised.

“We can’t just do our best. We have to win the championship,” Leng Ruoxue said with a wicked smile.

“Uh! Girl, the opponent’s strength is unknown. I really can’t guarantee this championship. However, if you participate, the championship definitely won’t be able to escape,” the disheveled old man suggested.

“That’s right, Little Xue’er. If you participate, the championship will definitely be yours,” Leng Xiaoyu said confidently. Back then, he was accepted as a disciple by his master because he had won the championship in the blacksmith competition.

“I’m not interested, nor do I want to be in the limelight. After all, I’m still a fugitive of the Wen family!” Leng Ruoxue teased herself.

“Girl, you can disguise yourself and participate!” The disheveled old man exposed Leng Ruoxue’s excuse. In fact, he knew that this girl was too lazy.

“Forget it. If Little Xue’er doesn’t want to participate, don’t force her,” Leng Xiaoyu said helplessly. In fact, he really wanted Little Xue’er to participate. After all, with this girl’s talent, it would be a waste if she didn’t participate in the blacksmith competition.

“Girl, don’t blame me if I don’t win the championship!” the disheveled old man reminded her carefully.

“I believe you can definitely win the championship,” Leng Ruoxue said confidently.

“Girl, I really don’t have much confidence,” the disheveled old man said with an aggrieved expression.

“It’s okay. From today onwards, I’ll give you special training. I’ve participated in this competition before, so I’ll train you well for the competition,” Leng Xiaoyu said with a smile. In fact, not only did Xue’er want this old man to win the championship, he also wanted to! Hehe! Who asked Yuan Biao to dare to imprison him? He had also said that he would let Yuan Biao see that he regretted it!

“Yes, with the cheap ancestor training you, your chances of winning will be greater.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. To be honest, she really didn’t expect Yuan Biao to imprison the cheap ancestor because of such a small matter. It was really ridiculous. Before leaving, she had to give Yuan Biao a big gift.

Thinking of this, Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help but ask, “Cheapsake Old Ancestor, I heard that Yuan Biao ‘invited’ you to refine weapons. Why is it related to the competition?”

“Refining weapons! Hmph! That’s just an excuse he made because he was afraid that the news would be leaked,” Leng Xiaoyu said with a face full of disdain. When Yuan Biao found him back then, he had indeed used the excuse of refining weapons. Moreover, he had promised to help him find Sun Tao’s whereabouts. That was why he had foolishly fallen into Yuan Biao’s trap. Now that he thought about it, he was really stupid. However, this was probably what people often said about being worried!

“Oh!” Leng Ruoxue understood.

“Alright, it’s getting late. We’ve understood enough. Everyone, rest early!” Leng Ruoxue said again.

Everyone nodded and returned to their bamboo houses in the space.

Three days later.

Leng Ruoxue was sunbathing on a recliner in the courtyard when the original owner suddenly ran over.

“Miss Ning.” The ape’s face was filled with excitement when it saw Leng Ruoxue.

“Young Master Yuan, has your body recovered?” Leng Ruoxue pretended to be curious. Well! Calculating the time, the medicinal effect should be about right.

“Yes, it hasn’t acted up for two days. Looks like the alchemists of the Alchemist Association are still the best!” the ape said happily. After resting in bed for two days, he felt that he should be fine. Therefore, he ran to the Falling Swallow Dwelling immediately. He had not seen Miss Ning for a few days and was thinking about her.

“Yes, that’s for sure. Otherwise, why would the Alchemist Association provide for them?” Leng Ruoxue echoed with a light smile. The Alchemist Association would also provide for some alchemists, but their requirements for providing for alchemists were very high. After all, if the Alchemist Association wanted fame and fortune, it couldn’t do without the pills refined by alchemists! However, the recovery of this ape’s injuries had nothing to do with those alchemists at all.
