"If you just think so, then you underestimate Lu Chaoyang."
Wen Ding said, "He is indeed very calculating and cunning, but he also has a very high talent in weapon refining.
It's a pity that there is an eldest brother, Lu Chaozong, who directly overshadows all his light.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, he is just a waste. In fact, Lu Chaoyang is a real ninth-level weapon refiner.
As I just said, there are not more than one person in Lucheng who can refine top-quality spiritual weapons, and he is one of them."
"So that's it."
Ye Bufan had to re-examine the head of the Lu family. It seemed that Lu Chaozong did not take this younger brother seriously before. That was his pride. In fact, he was also a very outstanding weapon refiner.
Zhao Chengqi followed up and said: "The Lu family, as the number one weapon refining family in Kunlun Continent, is not in vain, but all the light previously was monopolized by the Kunlun Weapon God.
In fact, there are other outstanding weapon refiners, such as Lu Deyi from the older generation.
That year, he competed with the Kunlun God of Weapons and won second place, which shows his profound knowledge in weapon refining.
There are also outstanding disciples among the younger generation, such as Lu Youjian, who is said to have reached the level of a ninth-level weapon refiner.
Ye Bufan nodded. Through the introduction of the two elders, he had a new understanding of the strength of the Lu family.
Wen Ding continued: "I just mentioned that Lu Chaoyang has two purposes. I suspect that the other one is to lure out Lu Chaozong.
As long as the Kunlun Weapon God is still around, he, the head of the family, will be restless."
Zhao Chengqi said: "I think so. From taking Liu Yueniang as a prize, we can see that this person definitely has no good intentions.
Because of this, our Weapon Refiner Guild did not send any disciples to participate this time."
Wen Ding said with concern: "Yes, I would say that little brother Ye should not take a trip into this muddy water this time.
If you really want to participate, be careful and don’t get yourself involved.”
"I know, thank you two elders for reminding me."
Ye Bufan nodded, he still had a good impression of these two upright old men.
In the meeting hall of the Lu family, the head of the family, Lu Chaoyang, sat in the middle, and there were seven or eight other people sitting in the lower seats. These people were all core members of the Lu family.
"How's it going? Have you discovered Lu Chaozong's whereabouts these days?"
Lu Chaoyang was most concerned about the whereabouts of Lu Chaozong, so these days he secretly arranged spies from the Lu family to monitor the entire Lu City, hoping to find traces of him. A skinny old man next to him said: "Master, there is no Lu family yet.
News from Chaozong."
He is Lu Deren, the elder of the Lu family: daily affairs and secret spies are all under his control.
"It's really tolerable. Let's see how long he can endure it."
Lu Chaoyang looked gloomy, "I don't believe that when the competition starts tomorrow, I will use that woman Liu Yueniang as a prize, and he can still hide it."
Lu Youqin had an ambiguous look on his face: "The master of the family is wise, Lu Chaozong will definitely not be able to escape from your grasp."
Lu Chaoyang nodded, and then asked: "Has anything else happened recently? This weapon refining competition is organized by me, and there must be no mistakes."
"It's not a big deal, but something interesting happened today."
Lu Deren said, "As the registration deadline was approaching today, a young man suddenly came up and wanted to sign up for the competition, but he did not have any qualifications as a weapon refiner..."
He recounted the process of Ye Bufan's registration from beginning to end, and finally said, "That kid is a bit interesting. He actually passed the fifth-level assessment in the Weapon Refiner's Guild in one go and got the badge directly. This speed is really impressive.
Accident."
"So fast?"
Lu Chaoyang also showed a look of astonishment, asking himself that he couldn't do it even with his own ability.
Suddenly his expression changed: "Who is that kid? Could it be Lu Chaozong pretending to be?"
"This is impossible. I have also checked. The boy's name is Ye Bufan and he is from Tianluo Prefecture.
Not long ago, he participated in the Genius Monster Competition. He must be under twenty-five years old, and he definitely cannot be Lu Chaozong."
"oh!"
When he heard that it couldn't be Lu Chaozong, Lu Chaoyang immediately relaxed a lot.
"That's a bit interesting. Why is this little guy so fast? Is he really a weapon-refining genius that is rare to see in a thousand years?"
"The fifth-level magic weapon is a low-level weapon refining. Any disciple of our Lu family can refine it. This is nothing, and it cannot be compared with your talent, the sect leader."
It was Lu Youqin who spoke again. The reason why this guy was able to become Lu Chaoyang's confidant was that he was very loyal and his ability to flatter others was also top-notch.
Lu Chaoyang nodded: "That's true."
Lu Deren said: "I think there are two possibilities. One is that the boy is really talented and can refine low-level magic weapons quickly enough.
There is another possibility, that he is someone secretly arranged by the Weapon Master Guild, and everything is just a show, and everything is just a gimmick."
Lu Chaoyang thought for a while: "There is a slight possibility that this time our Lu family held a weapon refining competition, but not a single person from the weapon refiner's guild participated.
Those old guys have always been dissatisfied with our Lu family, so it is possible to arrange a sneak attack."
Then he waved his hand again: "Forget it, don't pay attention to this kind of person. A young man in his twenties will not have any impact on our Lu family's plan."
After a brief discussion on the specific matters of tomorrow's competition, the Lu family members dispersed.
After a night of silence, the whole of Lucheng was in excitement the next morning. The weapon-refining competition was like a holiday for all the people.
People got up early and rushed towards the Refining Square in the center of the city.
The Lu family is famous throughout the Kunlun continent for its weapon refining, and the city of Lu comes from the Lu family. The weapon refiner here is the most noble profession. In the center of the city, there is a huge square with a radius of ten miles.
In the middle of the square is a tower-shaped platform with five levels in total, called the Weapon Refining Tower.
Today's competition will be held here. Complete the competition according to the content set by the competition. Each time you reach a level, you will advance to a level. When you reach the fifth level, you will be the final winner.
A tall viewing platform was built early next to the refining tower, which was prepared for the core members of the Lu family and the dignitaries in the city.
There is also a seat for contestants next to it, which can only be entered with a participation token.
The remaining people were driven to the surroundings of the refining tower to watch the game from a distance.
Ye Bufan and others came here. He showed his token and was taken to the competition seat by the staff, while others stood and watched.
On the viewing platform, Lu Chaoyang sat in the middle, next to him were the core members of the Lu family.
He was now also a strong man at the peak of his integration. He scanned the people present with his spiritual consciousness and still couldn't find the shadow of Lu Chaozong, so he couldn't help but frown.
"What's going on? Haven't you found him yet? Does he really no longer want the title of Kunlun Weapon God? Or does he not even care about the woman Liu Yueniang?"
As a biological brother, he knew his eldest brother's character very well. Even if he lost his life, he would not be able to do such a thing. Normally, he should have been here by now.
"Nothing has been found yet."
Lu Deren said, "I guess he changed his appearance and pretended to be another participating disciple.
Or he didn’t participate at all and was waiting to come and grab people at the last moment.”
"No matter what, after today the Kunlun Weapon God will be mine."
