Qian Huanhan left with Lu Li. Lady Dan's eyes were spitting fire. Still, she could not understand — Qian Huanhan had not been learning to forge artifacts for long. How could he be praised by someone from the Craftsmen's Sect? He was … a genius?
One had to know that the Craftsmen's Sect represented the pinnacle of blacksmithing in the Immortal World. Everyone there was very arrogant and almost never praised anyone.
Qian Huanhan and Lu Li walked out. They greeted Patriarch Li and showed their tokens to a disciple.
The disciple hurriedly brought the two of them to a side hall. There was a teleportation array in the side hall that could teleport them to the inner city.
"The disciples of the Mountain Valley Sect are quite skilled!"
Patriarch Li shared the same expression as Lady Dan. As far as he could see, Qian Huanhan and Lu Li had no chance at all.
Who would have thought that they would be the first to pass and enter the inner city?
Before long, Miss Dan came out. She had passed the test and could enter the inner city.
Miss Dan was a rare genius of the Chamber of Relics. It was easy for her to enter the inner city.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't been learning refining for a long time and that his temperament wasn't steady enough, he would probably be able to shine in this battle.
To Elder Li's surprise, both Long Yunhai and Long Wentian failed.
Long Yunhai originally had a chance, but his luck was not very good. The divine weapon that he forged had some flaws. Later on, he wanted to reforge it but did not have enough time.
"Qian Huanhan and Lu Li have entered the city?"
When Long Yunhai and Long Wentian heard the news, they felt their cheeks burning.
They were core disciples of the Artifact Pavilion, and they had been learning to forge artifacts since they were young. How could they lose to a disciple who had just joined the sect for a year?
Elder Li waved his hand and said, "All of you stay at the inn. I will enter the inner city to report to Elder Long and Elder Gu."
Looking at Elder Li's back, Long Yunhai and Long Wentian felt dejected. They had been looking forward to this competition, but now they just wanted it to end as soon as possible.
Because every time they stood there, the two of them felt like they were being silently humiliated.
…
"How lively!"
Lu Li and Qian Huanhan were teleported to the inner city, which was like a paradise.
The scenery here was picturesque, unlike the castles outside.
On the contrary, there were flowers and trees everywhere. Flowers were blooming everywhere, and there were even a few man-made rivers flowing quietly.
It was very lively inside with pedestrians walking back and forth. Everyone was immaculately dressed, wearing embroidered robes and jade robes. Their bearing was extraordinary.
The two of them were led by the disciple. Qian Huanhan's eyes were wide open. He had seen at least a dozen top-notch beauties along the way.
After walking through several roads, the two of them were brought to a beautiful manor. The disciple politely said, "This is the place where the elders of your sect live. You can go in and settle down first.
Tomorrow, the Ten Thousand Craftsmen Competition will officially begin. We'll inform you when the time comes. "
"Thank you, Senior!"
Lu Li and Qian Huanhan thanked him and walked into the yard. Several psychic powers came out immediately.
Then, Elder Gu appeared at the door. Surprise appeared on his old-fashioned face, but it quickly turned into pride. He nodded and said, "Not bad, Qian Huanhan. You didn't let me down!"
Long Xuesha and the other two elders walked out and looked at Qian Huanhan in bewilderment.
Long Xuesha didn't say anything, but the other two elders exclaimed in admiration, "Not bad. Shanhe, your disciples are top-notch. How long has it been since Qian Huanhan joined the Chamber of Artifacts?
You can actually enter the inner city. Congratulations. "
"Ha, ha ~"
Elder Gu stroked the sparse beard on his chin and said disapprovingly, "It's just that this child is a little smart and hardworking.
I didn't teach him too much. I just passed on some of my knowledge … "
Patriarch Gu was trying to show off, but he turned to Lu Li with suspicion.
He knew Qian Huanhan's capability very well.
There was no way Qian Huanhan could enter the inner city. Then, the problem lay with Lu Li.
"Go and have some rest. Don't be arrogant or impatient!"
Patriarch Gu waved his hand after a glance. "You can wander around at night, but do not make any trouble.
Come back and tell us if you need anything. Do you understand? "
Qian Huanhan and Lu Li answered at once. They went to a room.
Qian Huanhan was excited. He paced up and down in the room. He had been in the limelight today, and he was feeling pleased.
"Brother Li, you are impressive!"
Qian Huanhan activated the Inhibition Formation. He was about to say something when Lu Li waved him to keep quiet.
There were many powerful warriors in the inner city and many masters of Inhibition Formations. Who could tell if someone was eavesdropping?
On the off chance that Long Xuesha was, neither of them could tell.
"Here I am!"
Lu Li sat with his legs crossed and took a deep breath. He no longer cared about the competition of craftsmen. He would not take any actions. After all, the Chamber of Relics did not have high hopes for them.
His main purpose in coming here — to find that "Lu Ling" and see if she was his sister.
He sat with his legs crossed and thought for a while, feeling worried.
Even though it was an inner city, it was a large one with manors everywhere. Who knew where Lu Ling was staying?
Should he go to the Craftsmen's Sect and ask?
Even if he did, could he go in?
"Right, Holy Princess and Lou Shi 'er!"
Lu Li thought of the two. They were the only ones who could get in touch with Lu Ling. Even if Lady Dan wanted to see Lu Ling, it would not be possible.
"I will go and see Lou Shi 'er tonight."
Lu Li made up his mind. He chatted with Qian Huanhan for a while and then sat down to rest.
When the night fell and the moon rose, Lu Li and Qian Huanhan set off.
There was only one patriarch outside. Neither Long Xuesha nor Patriarch Gu was here. They must be attending to business or attending a banquet.
That patriarch said something to Lu Li and Qian Huanhan before they came out. As soon as Qian Huanhan came out, he looked around and glanced at the girls.
"Brother Li, where are we going?"
Seeing Lu Li walking straight ahead, Qian Huanhan asked in confusion.
Then, Qian Huanhan saw many pretty girls sitting in a tavern in the distance. His eyes glowed and he said, "Brother Li, there are so many pretty girls over there. Shall we go and have a drink?"
"I have something to do." Lu Li stopped and said, "How about you go and have a drink by yourself?
I will come and find you when I am done. "
"Never mind. I will go with you, Brother Li!"
Qian Huanhan shook his head and said in frustration, "We have no fame, no status, and no ability. Even if we go there, those pretty girls won't talk to us."
"You, all you think about is pretty girls."
Lu Li rolled his eyes. He saw a disciple of the Craftsmen's Sect and went over to ask.
After learning where Lou Shi 'er was, Lu Li and Qian Huanhan hurried over.
At the gate, there were guards. They must be from the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle.
Lu Li asked the guard to report in. Soon, they heard a hearty laugh.
Lou Shi 'er walked out in strides. He put his arm around Lu Li's shoulder and walked inside while saying, "Brother Lu, you are just in time. I am entertaining some young masters and young ladies from famous families. I can introduce you to them.
Let me tell you … Lady Luan, No. 16 on the List of Beautiful Ladies, and Lady Yu, No. 24, are both here! "
"Wow, wow ~"
Qian Huanhan, who was following Lu Li, was like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb. His eyes glowed.
Just now, he was frustrated that he could not get close to those pretty girls. Now, he could meet one of the top beauties on the List of Beautiful Ladies.
