Seeing the rust moss peel off in an instant, Ye Huangcheng, who had so doubts, had his expression change as both Master Lian and Song Guangyi’s pupils shrank.
Inside the rust moss hid Xuantie, shining a silvery white, its luster even purer than that of five percent Xuantie ore.
Sixty percent Xuantie ore!
The sa shocking thought flashed across everyone’s minds. Who would have thought that this rusty-looking piece of waste Xuantie ore was actually the rare six percent Xuantie ore.
Could it be that this yellow-haired girl’s eye power was so astonishing?
Song Guangyi and Master Lian almost imdiately dismissed the thought.
Even an immortal wouldn’t be able to discern the composition of Xuantie ore covered in rust moss, unless that wretched person had X-ray vision.
Ye Lingyue didn’t have X-ray vision, but she possessed Cauldron Breath, which could perceive everything.
"Master Lian, quickly think of sothing. With Ye Huangcheng’s forging skills, he could forge this piece of sixty percent Xuantie ore into seventy percent Xuantie ore," said Song Guangyi, not without a trace of fear and trepidation.
The Ye Family had disclosed the news of the Xuanyin Jade Vein to the Alchemist Association, which had already caused Song Guangyi to be extrely alard. If they lost again at this Refining Conference, the Mountain and Sea Gang would definitely punish the worthless Song Guangyi.
"Seventy percent Xuantie ore, this master doesn’t even take into consideration. However, Ye Huangcheng doesn’t have that much capability. Xuantie ore with rust moss, being exceptionally hard, he will only be able to persist halfway before running out of Yuan Power to continue forging. Do you think that yellow-haired girl has the capability to forge that piece of Xuantie ore using the Body Refining Realm’s Primordial Power?" Master Lian scoffed lightly.
A pair of eyes, snake-like, watched Ye Huangcheng.
It must be said, Master Lian’s character was questionable, but his eye power was still good.
At this mont, Ye Huangcheng indeed found himself overexerted.
He had been injured by the Mountain and Sea Gang a few days earlier and despite his best efforts to heal, his Primordial Power was severely depleted.
Today’s Refining Conference was far too important for the Ye Family; Ye Huangcheng had no choice but to give it his all in a desperate attempt.
The hamr in his hand grew heavier, and Ye Huangcheng’s movents slowed.
At this point, there was still over half an hour until the end of the four hours, and the seventy percent Xuantie ore had only been half-refined.
"I must not lose. I absolutely cannot lose this refining competition." Ye Huangcheng’s sweat fell from his forehead like raindrops, falling onto the Xuantie ore and imdiately turning into streams of white vapor.
Ye Huangcheng was the fourth son of the Ye Family. He was neither the eldest son nor the youngest, and being a man, he didn’t have the sa talent as Ye Huangyu. When he was young, he always wanted to win the affection of his father, Ye Gu.
Even if only for a mont, but back then, Ye Gu’s favorite was Ye Huangyu.
That person, who had astonishing martial arts talent from a young age, despite being a girl, she outdid Ye Huangcheng in everything.
Ever since the family competition in the Ye Family, when Ye Huangcheng was slapped off the platform by Ye Huangyu, he beca the laughing stock among the other descendants of the Ye Family, casting him into the shadows for many years.
It wasn’t until Ye Huangyu was discarded by her husband’s family and returned to the Ye Family with a foolish daughter that Ye Huangcheng felt a perverse sense of schadenfreude. Over the years, he indulged his servants and son in oppressing Ye Huangyu and her daughter, always thinking that Ye Huangyu hated him as well.
However, the fire at Qibei Slope made him co to a complete realization.
From the beginning to the end, only he was blinded by hatred and narrow-mindedness.
Ye Huangcheng thought of this, and the hamr in his hand "bang" went off course and fell to the ground.
The Primordial Power within him had been completely depleted. To speak of forging again was out of the question, even picking up the hamr again was a challenge.
"Are you alright?" President Liao hurriedly checked Ye Huangcheng’s condition, and found that apart from the exhaustion of his Primordial Power, there were no major issues.
"Friend Ye, given his condition, it’s impossible to complete the forging this ti. The Ye Family is probably going to lose," President Liao hinted as he glanced over at Song Guangyi and Master Lian’s group.
All one could hear was the "bang clang pang" sounds like rain hitting banana leaves, with Master Lian swinging his hamr, each strike sending off sparks.
Ye Lingyue and President Liao could both tell that each of Master Lian’s strikes was mixed with spiritual power.
Under the dual influence of spiritual power and Primordial Power, the piece of Five percent Xuantie on his forging platform had already changed in appearance.
A large amount of impurities and wastewater had been expelled—six percent... seven percent. If nothing went wrong, the Xuantie Ore forged by Master Lian was bound to exceed 80 percent purity.
In contrast, on the Ye Family’s side, even though they selected 80 percent Xuantie Ore, Ye Huangcheng had only forged half of it. The other half of the Xuantie Ore was still raw ore at six percent purity.
With such a result, the Ye Family’s defeat was certain.
"Thank you, President Liao, please help take care of Ye Huangcheng. The remainder of the Xuantie Ore forging will be completed by ," Ye Lingyue said with a grave expression, lifting the hamr.
The fifty or sixty catty hamr was entirely disproportionate to her figure, and even appeared sowhat comical, like a child wearing an adult’s clothes.
Seeing Ye Lingyue wielding the hamr and starting to forge languidly, President Liao felt a sense of regret and helped Ye Huangcheng to rest on the side.
"Haha, Master Lian, the Ye Family really can’t hold up, look, they even let that stinking woman forge," Song Guangyi laughed so hard he was rocking back and forth. Master Lian also shook his head disdainfully, his hamr dropping without hesitation, striking again and again.
Ye Lingyue was still striking the Xuantie Ore intermittently.
No one knew that with each of her strikes, spiritual power, Primordial Power, and Cauldron Breath were all mixed in.
These three forces, combined, significantly slowed Ye Lingyue’s speed, but the effect was also clearly visible, especially with the action of Cauldron Breath. The portion of the 80 percent Xuantie forged by Ye Huangcheng earlier was also gradually peeling off.
The Xuantie hidden inside the ore was revealed. Seeing the extraordinary color inside, a flash of joy in Ye Lingyue’s eyes was quick to vanish. As she expected, this rusty piece of Xuantie Ore wasn’t simple; it wasn’t just a re six percent Xuantie.
As the triple forces worked simultaneously, the piece of Xuantie Ore, originally rusted and flat, was transford as though reborn, shedding another layer to beco a small spherical Xuantie Ball.
Once the four hours were up.
At President Liao’s command, everyone stopped their hamrs and submitted the Xuantie Ore they had forged.
On the side of Song Guangyi and Master Lian, what they ultimately forged, was in fact a piece of 80 percent pure Xuantie.
That was the best piece of Xuantie Master Lian had forged this year, partly thanks to the assistance of the Molten Lava Fire from the Alchemist Association.
Master Lian was exceptionally proud; he didn’t even notice what percentage of Xuantie Ye Lingyue had submitted. In his eyes, Ye Lingyue simply wasn’t worthy of being his opponent.
