When the incense stick had burned out completely, all the weapon refiners quickly got into the state.
"Madam Mo should be okay, right?" Han Luosu knew that Feng Yuqin had only started weapon refining after she arrived at the Divine Sword Sect in the Mysterious Feather Realm.
He was worried that she might not be able to handle the competition against the hermit families in such a short period of time.
Chu Xiaomian tilted her head and glanced at Han Luosu. "The things my Sister Qin decides to do never end in failure. Since she said she would participate in the weapon - refining competition, she must be aiming for the first place. There's no way she would go for failure."
After all, the people from these hermit families had hurt Yan Geng and the others. Sister Qin definitely wouldn't let them off easily.
Han Luosu looked at Chu Xiaomian. She had absolute confidence in Feng Yuqin.
Thinking back to the time since he had known Feng Yuqin, he had never seen her fail at anything.
Slowly, influenced by Chu Xiaomian, Han Luosu also believed that Feng Yuqin would surely win.
Of course, not everyone thought the same way.
The hermit families, for example, definitely didn't share this view.
"The so - called leader of the Dark Night Pavilion and a renowned divine doctor. I wonder how she'll feel if she loses this competition," said Du Rou'er, the eldest daughter of the Du family. She had always been high - and - mighty.
Now that she had met Feng Yuqin, she was eager to overshadow Feng Yuqin's reputation as a divine doctor in the Mysterious Feather Realm.
Du Rou'er was a formation master.
In the hermit family, her formation skills were the best.
So she was very confident in herself.
At this moment, she was even thinking that if she had also learned pill - refining, Feng Yuqin would have to hand over her title of divine doctor to her.
"She'll probably wish she could find a hole to hide in," Du Yaor said with a gloating look on her face.
The Ran and Yun families were also discussing whether Feng Yuqin would win or lose.
The weapon refiner from the Ran family was the eldest young master, Ran Xiuzhe.
The second young lady, Ran Zitong, was a formation master, and Ran Ziling was a pill - refiner.
"Sister, do you think Feng Yuqin will win?" Ran Ziling had had contact with Feng Yuqin.
In the Gambling Stone City, Feng Yuqin had dealt her a huge blow.
So Ran Ziling always felt that it was never good news for anyone who faced Feng Yuqin in a competition.
Ran Zitong looked at her younger sister in surprise. "Ziling, are you joking? Brother is among those competing with Feng Yuqin. Have you ever seen Brother lose in weapon refining?"
Ran Ziling thought about it and realized her sister was right.
They had lost before because of gambling stones.
Brother wasn't good at gambling stones.
That's why they had been so embarrassed last time.
But now it was a weapon - refining competition, which Brother was good at.
Brother definitely wouldn't lose.
The people from the Yun family just watched silently without discussing among themselves.
Although they didn't talk, others were curious about them.
Not only the people from the hermit families were curious about Feng Yuqin, but others were also curious about both Feng Yuqin and the people from the hermit families.
So they all stared at Ran Xiuzhe and Feng Yuqin.
"Is that black - clothed man the eldest young master of the Ran family from the hermit family?"
"Yes. I saw him in the Gambling Stone City last time. He lost badly in front of Divine Doctor Feng."
"So Divine Doctor Feng should win this time too, right?"
"From past experiences, it seems that Divine Doctor Feng has never lost. Maybe she won't lose this time either."
These people didn't keep their voices down, and they happened to be quite close to Ran Xiuzhe.
So when Ran Xiuzhe heard these words, his face didn't look good.
He took a quick glance in Feng Yuqin's direction.
Seeing her calm and unhurried demeanor, he frowned slightly.
The people from the hermit families had investigated the information about the people in the Mysterious Feather Realm.
They knew that Feng Yuqin had only started weapon refining recently.
But now, looking at Feng Yuqin's proficient weapon - refining steps, she didn't seem like someone who had only learned it for a short time.
Could it be that Feng Yuqin was really very good at weapon refining?
Thinking this way, Ran Xiuzhe pulled his thoughts back and focused more intently on weapon refining.
He must not lose to Feng Yuqin.
Time passed quickly. Soon, half of the weapon - refining process was over.
Gradually, those who understood weapon refining or often watched weapon - refining competitions felt that among all the weapon refiners, Feng Yuqin seemed the most relaxed.
"Do you have the feeling that Divine Doctor Feng's weapon refining is like the idiom 'maneuvering within a tent'?"
"Yes, that's exactly how I feel. Her calm and unhurried manner makes it seem as if the first place should belong to her."
"It's hard to say. Look at those people from the three hermit families. Aren't they also very good?" Someone noticed that the people from the three hermit families were also very steady in their weapon - refining.
"Even so, compared with Divine Doctor Feng, they're not as pleasing to watch."
"This is a weapon - refining competition, not a beauty contest. In the end, only the first - place winner counts. The others are just there to make up the numbers."
The last sentence was a bit harsh.
Whether it was those waiting to compete or the contestants who were already in the process of weapon refining, when they heard this, they seemed to be rejuvenated.
Yes, if they lost, wouldn't they just be there to make up the numbers? They wouldn't get anything.
But if they won, the rewards would be quite substantial.
So even if they were just making up the numbers, they still wanted to take a chance.
Some of the elders from the hermit families finally showed up.
However, when they saw the situation on the competition field, they frowned.
Normally, it was very difficult for the three families to gather together.
The Du family had even come to the Mysterious Feather Realm secretly.
But since they had all participated in this competition, they didn't hide anymore.
Soon, the families gathered together to watch the competition.
They had gotten private boxes in the VIP section from the All - Under - Heaven Alliance.
"It's okay that Feng Yuqin is good at pill - refining, but how can she be so good at weapon refining too?" the eldest elder of the Du family said in a solemn tone.
The elders from the Yun and Ran families weren't stupid.
Looking at the situation, they knew that it was uncertain which of their three families could win this weapon - refining competition.
"I've got information that Feng Yuqin didn't know how to refine weapons before she arrived at the Divine Sword Sect. She only started after she got there. I didn't expect her to reach this level so quickly," said an elder.
"Is this what you call a genius among geniuses?" an elder from the Ran family said somewhat grudgingly.
After all, they had worked hard step by step to reach their current positions as elders, and they didn't like geniuses who had such good talents and could reach the top in whatever they learned.
"Back then, no one in the Mysterious Feather Realm could solve those Gu poisons, but she could refine the antidote. It's said that recently, she even refined a pill that can suppress the Gu poisons. After taking the pill, people don't even have to be afraid of the Gu poisons anymore. If this isn't a genius, what is?" the Du family elder said calmly.
Although his tone was calm, only he knew that Feng Yuqin gave him a sense of crisis.
Such a person would hinder their families' efforts to penetrate the Mysterious Feather Realm.
