The Tournament of Craftsmen was famous in the Divinity. It was a grand gathering for craftsmen. Every time, many talented craftsmen would be discovered.
There were many craftsmen in the Divinity. Most of them were in Craftsmen's Sect or Chamber of Relics that specialized in forging artifacts. But there were some craftsmen from other forces as well.
Some craftsmen who were unwilling to join a sect or wanted to study on their own would go to the Tournament of Craftsmen.
The tournament could make many young craftsmen stand out and become famous. In this way, many forces would secretly recruit these craftsmen.
The Tournament of Craftsmen was not just a tournament. It was also a trade contest of materials and older generation craftsmen could communicate with each other.
The Tournament of Craftsmen was supposed to be a grand gathering for craftsmen. This time, Dongfang Ning and many other beauties on the list were here, which attracted many young masters from famous families.
Then, it triggered a chain reaction. Many people went to get close to those young masters. More and more young people were attracted. The Tournament of Craftsmen became a grand gathering for young talents.
The Divinity was a vast place. If it were not for certain reasons, it would be hard for those talented disciples to gather together.
The Tournament of Craftsmen was one of the reasons. Those talented disciples would take this opportunity to make friends, to show off, or to chase after beauties. The Tournament of Craftsmen had attracted more and more attention.
Qian Huanhan went to look for Elder Gu. The latter did not hesitate and agreed readily.
Qian Huanhan was confused. Why was Patriarch Gu so easy to talk to?
He did not know that it was because of Lu Li. Patriarch Gu rarely turned down Lu Li's requests.
Patriarch Gu had been to the Tournament of Craftsmen many times. It was indeed a grand gathering for craftsmen. Patriarch Gu believed it was good for Lu Li and the others to broaden their horizons.
After all, there would be no danger in the City of Craftsmen, which was the base camp of Craftsmen's Sect.
The Chamber of Relics was quite lively recently because many disciples wanted to go to the City of Craftsmen. Even if they did not have the chance to perform, it would be good for them to broaden their horizons.
The number of participants was limited. The City of Craftsmen was at the center of the Divinity. To go there, one must go through the Office of Space-time.
Teleportation in the Office of Space-time was costly. No matter how rich the Chamber of Relics was, they could not afford to bring too many disciples.
Soon, the list came out. This time, only 10 people from the Chamber of Relics would go. Long Xuesha, the most powerful warrior of the Chamber of Relics, would lead the team in person.
Lady Dan, Long Yunhai, and Long Wentian were all qualified to go. Even if Jiang Lianxue were not locked up.
What upset many disciples of the Chamber of Relics was that Qian Huanhan and Lu Li had gone as well.
Qian Huanhan was the core disciple of Patriarch Gu. It was normal that he was qualified to go. Who was Lu Li? How could he go?
Last time, the matter was so big, but the sentence was so light. How could an ordinary disciple like him be qualified to participate in the Ten Thousand Craftsmen Tournament?
Some of the core disciples were dissatisfied and went to find the elders, but they were all rejected.
The Elders only said a few words, and those disciples all quieted down. This name list was decided by the Pavilion Master, and those who disagreed could go and argue with the Pavilion Master.
The Pavilion Master's words had always carried enormous weight. Since the name list had been decided, no one could change it.
Many disciples could only sulk in secret and curse Lu Li for taking away their spots …
Lady Dan was not convinced as well. It was fine for the others to go, but Lu Li had to go as well?
This upset her. Seeing Lu Li reminded her of Jiang Lianxue who was still locked up. She clenched her teeth in hatred.
She tried to reason with the Pavilion Master, but the Pavilion Master didn't explain anything. Instead, he asked her to let go of her grudge and treat Lu Li better.
Lu Li paid no attention to the uproar outside. He continued to read in his room.
Qian Huanhan had been staying in the Hall of Artifact Forging all day, trying to be more proficient in forging artifacts. If there was a chance, he would like to show off his skills at the Ten Thousand Craftsmen Tournament.
Half a month later, Lu Li and Qian Huanhan were both called out by Patriarch Gu. There were only five or six days until the Ten Thousand Craftsmen Tournament. It was time to set off.
Lu Li and Qian Huanhan took a bath. Qian Huanhan put on the white robe of a core disciple. His hair was combed neatly. He looked handsome and elegant.
Lu Li only had on a cyan robe. The only eye-catching thing about him was his white hair. Other than that, he looked just like an average disciple.
"Let's go!"
Elder Gu glanced at the two of them and walked out coldly. When he reached the small square, Long Xuesha, Long Yunhai, and Long Wentian happened to walk out with a few elders and Miss Dan.
Lu Li and Qian Huanhan bowed at once. When Lu Li bowed to Lady Dan, she snorted and turned her face away. She did not show any respect.
Long Yunhai and Long Wentian were shrewd enough to greet Qian Huanhan and Lu Li as if nothing had happened.
"Let's go!"
Apparently, Long Xuesha paid no attention to Lu Li. He stepped into the Teleportation Formation first. Amidst the passionate gazes of many disciples, the 10 of them were teleported away.
They were teleported to a nearby city, the Sunset City.
There was a branch of the Space-time Office here. To go to the Divinity Craftsmen's City, they must go through the Space-time Office. Otherwise, it would take them more than a decade to teleport from city to city …
Lady Dan and the others seemed to be frequent visitors to the Sunset City. They followed them in silence. Lu Li threw a few glances and then turned to Qian Huanhan.
Qian Huanhan did not look around either. It seemed that he did not care about the Sunset City at all.
When they walked into the Space-time Office, Qian Huanhan did not pay much attention as well, which made Lu Li suspicious.
It seemed that Qian Huanhan was not as simple as he appeared to be. He must have some background.
A patriarch went to talk to the Space-time Office. In a moment, a chief steward of the Space-time Office led them to a huge altar.
The altar had a radius of more than one thousand feet. Lu Li had mastered Inhibition Formations recently. He used psychic power to check the patterns at the bottom of the altar. Still, he felt dizzy …
"Please bear with it. This time, the teleportation is a bit far. Those with weak souls will find it hard to adapt.
But don't worry. The Space-time Office will never have a problem. You will not be harmed! "
The chief steward looked at Lu Li, Qian Huanhan, Long Yunhai, and the others. Dragon Blood Fiend and Patriarch Gu were powerful souls and would be fine. But Lu Li and the others' souls were too weak. They would feel uncomfortable.
Lady Dan and the others seemed to be aware of this. They nodded emotionlessly. Lu Li took a soul-related pellet and nodded to the chief steward.
"Activate the Teleportation Formation!"
Seeing that everyone was ready, the chief steward nodded to the four old warriors behind him. The four of them poured out Xuan Energy to the statues on the four sides of the altar.
Soon, the patterns at the bottom of the altar lit up. Streaks of lightning danced around the altar. Lu Li and the others could see nothing but white light. They disappeared into the altar.
"Buzzing ~"
Above the Space-time Office, a ray of white light rose up to the sky and lingered for a long time.
"Okay, the fish has taken the bait!"
In a castle in the Sunset City, an old man in a black robe looked at the column of light and nodded.
He said to someone behind him, "Send a message to Patriarch Ling. Tell him that Lu Li is at the City of Divinity. Let him carry out the plan."
