After Uncle Zou gave the "start" command, the thirty or so candidates simultaneously moved.

When Zou Tie Zhu saw the blacksmiths skillfully opening the furnace and lighting the fire, his eyes immediately lit up like a child seeing his favorite toy.

Although his forging techniques were not bad, everyone's forging techniques were different. It would not be wrong for him to learn more from others.

Forge masters were a mysterious profession for outsiders, but for the same kind of profession, each and every one of them had a forging technique that was not passed down to them.

Blacksmiths were very attached to their forging skills. They didn't want their forging techniques to be learned by others and their techniques to be surpassed. Thus, they usually didn't exchange forging experience with others.

If it was any other time, Zou Tie Zhu wouldn't have been able to see anyone forging, and Zou Tie Zhu naturally wouldn't have missed today's rare learning opportunity.

The twelve blacksmiths waved their hands at the same time, skillfully opening the stove and lighting the fire. The twelve people had twelve different methods, but their speed was not comparable to anyone else. In the first round, anyone could win.

Zou Tie Zhu can only look at one of the people who has a very different forging technique from his own.

This son of a noble family also had the surname Zou and was named Lian. He must have come from a small family in Zou City and was related to the Zou family in some way.

The moment this normally extravagant and luxurious disciple began forging, his entire demeanor changed. His expression became solemn and focused, and he didn't dare to be negligent or slack off in the slightest.

The flames he used were the flames of annihilation that had been formed from his own five elements. This type of flame was characterized by high temperature but was extremely unstable. Without a strong spiritual wisdom and the power of courage, it would be difficult to control this type of flame.

Zou Tie Zhu compared himself and Zou Lian. He could see that in terms of just controlling the flames, the son of a noble family was probably on par with him.

After the flame had been ignited and the furnace had been ignited, Zou Lian placed the raw materials that needed to be processed onto the furnace to warm it up.

"Jue Tie." Zou Tie Zhu saw what the raw materials of Zou Lian's processing were in one go, and he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

This kind of iron ore called Jue Tie had a dark green body and was hard to melt. If one wanted to melt it, even a Terminator's Flame would take about two hours to burn.

As such, in terms of time, Zou Lian had lost to him.

Zou Tie Zhu originally wanted to change the spectating contestants, but he didn't expect that as soon as he put the raw materials in Zou Lian, with one hand holding the raw materials in place, the other hand would take out his forging hammer and violently hammer.

Zou Tie Zhu glanced at the hammer and knew that he wanted to scream out loud, so he immediately put his hand in his mouth.

This forging hammer was entirely red, but it was made from the finest red wrought iron. It was a famous hammer in the world of forging, and Zou Tianzhu had wanted this hammer for a long time. However, this hammer was expensive, so even if he sold it to Ling Xiao, he would not be able to buy it.

Zou Lian completely ignored Zou Tie Zhu, who was secretly learning by the side, and wholeheartedly focused on forging.

"Ding … …" Clang! Ding … "Clang …" The rhythmic sound of hammering could be heard. The Scarlet Hammer landed on the Jue Iron Stone again and again. The originally incomparably hard Jue Iron slowly began to change its shape and gradually took shape.

Looking at its embryonic form, Zou Lian was preparing to forge a Everlasting Iron Blade.

"Why didn't I think of it? Actually, it can be used to forge the embryo during the process of melting the raw materials. Sigh, fixed thinking can cause people to die." Zou Tie Zhu said with a sigh on one side and his eyes widened on the other.

In fact, Zou Tie Zhu couldn't be blamed for his rigid thinking. Forging methods like Zou Lian weren't suitable for most blacksmiths. Zou Lian had the Terminator Flame and the Scarlet Hammer, so other blacksmiths didn't necessarily have them.

Another reason was that Zou was using several types of soul power to help him change his body's shape. Forging techniques like this required an extremely strong soul power and control over one's soul power. It wasn't something that an ordinary blacksmith could do.

Of course, Zou Tie Zhu was able to do the second point, so he did not think that this forging method was that difficult. He sighed with emotion because he did not think that he could do what Zou Lian did.

Zou Tie Zhu continued to observe Zou Lian. On the other side, Ling Xiao's pill refining competition had also reached a white-hot stage.

Although there weren't any Alchemy Sects in the Xuan Tian Continent like the Blue Moon Realm on the Obsidian Continent, every large sect had an Alchemy Division that provided their sect with medicinal pills.

An outstanding chain soul master wasn't necessarily an outstanding alchemist, but an outstanding alchemist was definitely an outstanding chain soul master.

These guys with Cyan Rank strength were skillfully controlling the heat, releasing the dregs, and concentrating on refining the pills. However, their refining methods weren't too far off from that of the blacksmithing competition.

Amongst the thirteen alchemists, only Ling Xiao was one of them.

While everyone was still tormenting themselves with the fire, Ling Xiao had already started putting in medicine; while everyone was putting in medicine, Ling Xiao had already started purifying the medicinal dregs and replacing them with new medicinal ingredients.

In terms of speed, he had been suppressing them the entire time. Furthermore, the rest of the twelve were sweating profusely. Only Ling Xiao was very relaxed. She even took out a kettle to drink a few mouthfuls of water.

Thankfully, the twelve opponents did not see Ling Xiao acting in such a relaxed manner. Otherwise, they would definitely have lost control over the fire due to their insanity.

After the flame raged for more than an hour, Ling Xiao used her metal broom to knock the lid off the pill furnace without a word. Streams of green light and faint medicinal fragrance instantly spread throughout the entire Hall of Ten Thousand People.

In a little more than an hour, Ling Xiao had completed her Alchemy. She contentedly sat back in her seat as she watched the other contestants compete.

Although many people were surprised that Ling Xiao was able to concoct Cyan Rank pills with her Orange Rank strength, they still believed that Ling Xiao had no chance of winning.

This was because Ling Xiao's twelve opponents were all Cyan Rank. The pills they produced were at least Cyan Rank.

There was obviously a difference between Cyan Rank and Cyan Rank pill. Those people took longer than Ling Xiao and could defeat her at any time.

Furthermore, those experts could already tell that the Cyan Rank pills that Ling Xiao refined were only the most ordinary of Cyan Rank Clear Eye Pills.

The Clear Sight Pill was used to treat the eyes. Although its grade was high, it did not have any special effects. It could be said to be useless when used as a competition tool.

About a quarter of an hour later, another person finished refining the pill.

With a bang, the earth-shattering sound of the lid, a pill that was several times more fragrant than the pill Ling Xiao had refined was finally out of the furnace.

When the insiders saw this, they gently shook their heads. Ling Xiao, who had won in the first round with inexhaustible glory, had lost.

The pills concocted by the people behind her were each better than the one before. The last one even managed to concoct a blue level pill, shocking everyone.

As expected, none of the participating disciples were trash that they found useless.

About four hours later, all the candidates had finished what they were doing and were taking out their results for evaluation.

Ling Xiao stood by the side of the pill furnace with a leisurely expression. She did not take out the medicine in the pill furnace as she smiled at the people who were 'drying' their pills, armors and treasures.

Like yesterday, a masked man looked carefully at the items in the candidates' possession and picked out three of them as the winners.

The first item was the Everlasting Stone Blade, a Blue class weapon forged by Zou Lian. The second item was a Blue class treasure refined by the candidate of the Netherworld Sect, Ouyang Xun, the Armor Break Flying Shuttle.

The third was of course the Blue grade pill, Three Lives Rebirth Pill, refined by the candidate from the Underworld Sect, Nangong Yugrong, who was on the same stage as Ling Xiao.

Zou Tie-zhu secretly rejoiced in his heart as he watched Zou Lian enter the second round of evaluation. However, when he found out that Ling Xiao had been eliminated, that joy was immediately gone.

He still hoped that his lord would succeed, but unfortunately, his lord failed.

However, when Zou Tiezhu saw Ling Xiao's uncaring expression, she did not seem like a loser who should be feeling this way. He could not help but be secretly surprised: could it be that he did not care at all?

After the first round of selection, the masked man who was the judge looked at the time that the three had used up. In the end, he decided that Ouyang Xun, the candidate from the Nether Sky Sect, should be the first among the three in terms of time.

"I declare that the victor of the third round is..."

"Wait." Just as Uncle Zou was about to announce the winner, a voice interrupted him.

The crowd looked towards the direction of the voice. They saw the person who had made a deep impression on them, Xiao Lang.

Uncle Zou did not mind Ling Xiao interrupting him. With a slight smile, he said, "Young Master Xiao, do you still have anything else to say?"

Ling Xiao said leisurely, "Aren't you guys a little too disrespectful to me for not seeing how my treasure is being decided so quickly?"

The crowd couldn't help but roll their eyes in contempt. This fellow didn't even dare to take out the pill he refined himself, much less show respect.

Ling Xiao knew what they were thinking and said with a chuckle, "It's not that I don't want to take out the pills I concoct, but the pills I concoct have just been completed. Then, Big Brother Judge, can you come and take a look?"

Without another word, the masked man walked to Ling Xiao's pill furnace and looked inside.

There were hundreds of Clear Sight Pills densely packed within the pill furnace. According to the number of pills, this Ling Xiao should be number one.

However, this competition was not based on quantity, but on quality. Thus, no matter how many pills were refined, they were all useless.

The masked man shook his head: "Young Master Xiao, are you joking?"

Ling Xiao chuckled as she used a small metal rod to push the Clear Sight Pills to the side.

Following which, a purple ray of light burst out from the pill furnace, illuminating the entire hall in purple.
