Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Winning the Championship

After dozens of pieces of Xuantie Ore were collected, Governor Lan and President Liao headed to the council hall, where several Alchemists from the Alchemist Association were also present.

"It seems that the blacksmiths of this Refining Conference all have exceptional skills, with several creating 60 percent Xuantie. There was even one piece that was 70 percent Xuantie, and another that was 80 percent Xuantie." When he saw the piece that was 70 percent Xuantie, President Liao naturally assumed it was crafted by Ye Lingyue.

Although the surface of the ore was somewhat uneven, it was no easy feat for that young lady to have completed in such a short amount of time what Ye Huangcheng had not and forged 70 percent Xuantie.

"President, this piece of 80 percent Xuantie is of very good quality and should be suitable for forging weapons for the military," said Governor Lan, who had noticed the 80 percent Xuantie forged by Master Lian with integrated spiritual power.

"This Master Lian seems to be a fairly strong Alchemist. His Spiritual Power Cultivation should be around Third Rank," President Liao was surprised that a Three Rank Alchemist did not even have the credentials of a Quasi Alchemist.

After examining several more pieces of Xuantie Ore, President Liao and Governor Lan had almost certainly decided that the Xuantie refined by Master Lian would be the champion of this Refining Conference.

But at that moment, a soft glow pained President Liao’s eyes.

"What is this?" When President Liao saw the ore clearly, he blinked unconsciously. He couldn’t have seen wrong; that piece was actually...

While President Liao and the others were appraising the Xuantie Ore, all the blacksmiths had descended from upstairs.

Ye Huangcheng had quickly tidied himself up and joined Ye Huangxuan. When they saw Ye Lingyue come downstairs, both brothers from the Ye Family hurried over to her.

"Ling Yue, did you manage to refine a piece of Xuantie Ore that was 70 percent?" Ye Huangcheng asked urgently with a worried expression.

Ye Lingyue did not answer but simply shook her head.

Ye Huangcheng sighed. It was all his fault for not holding on in the final moments.

"Useless. Even if you had refined 70 percent Xuantie Ore, you wouldn’t have beaten Master Lian. What we refined is the extremely rare 80 percent Xuantie Ore," Song Guangyi and Master Lian came over with faces full of pride.

The news that the blacksmith from the Mountain and Sea Gang had refined ore that was 80 percent Xuantie left the other blacksmiths heartbroken; the best among them had only managed to create 70 percent Xuantie Ore.

Hearing that Master Lian had refined 80 percent Xuantie, the blacksmiths and the members of the Mountain and Sea Gang were convinced of his victory and began to offer their congratulations.

Master Lian was also exuding pride, floating on cloud nine as he listened to the compliments.

"Forget it. Our Ye Family simply has no way to create 80 percent Xuantie Ore. We have lost this time," Ye Huangxuan consoled his older brother who was filled with self-reproach.

"The results have not been announced yet, let’s wait and see," Ye Lingyue said as President Liao and Governor Lan walked out of the council hall.

Seeing President Liao, Song Guangyi quickly went up to him, bowing and nodding, waiting for the announcement of the results.

"President Liao, have the results of the competition been released?"

"The fact that you managed to refine 80 percent Xuantie is indeed beyond my expectations," President Liao said with nodding approval.

After hearing President Liao’s words, Song Guangyi was almost certain that he and Master Lian were destined to be the champions. The thought of getting help from the Mountain and Sea Gang and joining the Li City Alchemist Association after winning made Song Guangyi indescribably self-satisfied.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the results of the Refining Conference have been decided. I will now announce the top three," said President Liao with a gesture, silencing the crowd.

Although the brothers from the Ye Family already knew that their chances of winning were slim, they comforted themselves that it would still be good to achieve a position within the top three.

"First, let’s announce the third place. The two masters from Zhang’s Blacksmith Shop, with their exquisite craftsmanship, have forged 70 percent Xuantie and have won third place," said President Liao as he took out a fist-sized piece of 70 percent Xuantie.

The forged 70 percent Xuantie piece was semi-circular in shape. Aside from the slightly uneven surface, the quality was indeed 70 percent Xuantie.

The two brothers from Zhang’s Blacksmith Shop cheerfully stepped forward.

Third place had already produced 70 percent Xuantie?

The brothers from the Ye Family felt a sudden pang in their hearts.

Then their 60 percent Xuantie would not even be able to squeeze into the top three.

"Now that the Ye Family can’t make it into the top three, I wonder how they will stand in Li City from now on. Trash is trash after all, only fit for small places like Qiufeng Town," Song Guangyi deliberately said aloud.

They had thought the Ye Family could at least take third place, but they didn’t expect the Zhang brothers to surge forth. However, the worse the Ye Family lost, the happier they were.

"Next, let’s announce the second place. This group of blacksmiths, who won second place, forged a piece of 80 percent Xuantie that was both exceptional in quality and shape," said President Liao, pausing for a moment.

The second place of the Refining Conference produced 80 percent Xuantie too?

This unexpected result stunned both Master Lian and Song Guangyi. They wondered which blacksmith from Li City could forge 80 percent Xuantie.

The other blacksmiths could only shake their heads and sigh. The standard of this Refining Conference was just too high.

But Song Guangyi and Master Lian were still full of confidence; their 80 percent Xuantie was definitely the best of its kind.

But when President Liao took out the 80 percent Xuantie Ore that won second place, the eyes of Master Lian and Song Guangyi nearly popped out.

How was that possible? That piece of Xuantie Stone was exactly their piece.

"This, this is impossible," Master Lian exclaimed in disbelief.

But what was in President Liao’s hand was indisputably the four-sided piece of 80 percent Xuantie Ore that he had refined.

Master Lian could only grind his teeth and step forward, reluctantly accepting the reality.

"Useless thing," the Young Master of the Mountain and Sea Gang, Sha Zhan, muttered quietly under his breath.

Yet it didn’t matter to him; he wanted to see which outstanding figure had won the champion of first place.

If nothing else, once the competition ended, he intended to capture the winner and have them forge weapons exclusively for the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Everyone was waiting for President Liao to announce the final champion.

"After unanimous consultation with the governor and other Alchemists of the Association, it has been determined that the final winner of this Li City Refining Conference is... the Ye Family from Qiufeng Town," President Liao’s voice fell.

Master Lian and Song Guangyi’s eyes bulged while the brothers from the Ye Family shook with shock; they couldn’t believe what they heard.

What? Did they hear correctly? The Ye Family was the champion?
