Last time, due to the matters involving the people from the Divine Realm and the Starfall Hall, most forces were severely weakened.
The ten great families, however, were in a relatively better situation.
Take Han Luosu's family for example. With the eight great sects being severely weakened, they were biding their time.
It was very likely that they would enter the sphere of influence of the eight great sects after some time.
Generally, when a family entered one of the eight great sects, they would adopt the name of the sect.
Similarly, if someone from one of the eight great sects managed to enter one of the four great forces, they would also use the name of the force instead of the sect's name.
All these were based on the increase in strength.
Therefore, everyone was shocked to see Feng Yuqin's remarkable progress in weapon refining.
"I remember Feng Yuqin participated in the weapon - refining list of the Tianjiao Ranking last time, right?"
"Right. At that time, it was obvious that she wasn't as proficient as now. But today, in every aspect, she is extremely powerful."
Many people from the Xuanyu Realm had witnessed Feng Yuqin's weapon - refining.
However, the people from the hidden families didn't know about this.
At first, they all thought that Feng Yuqin couldn't win.
But as time passed, their conviction began to waver.
The three hidden families waiting below were all in disbelief.
"How is this possible?" Ran Ziling refused to believe it. "Wasn't she supposed to be an alchemist?"
Ran Ziling wasn't very clear about some family matters.
Since her capacity for information was limited, many things were kept from her.
Ran Ziling didn't know that Feng Yuqin was also a weapon - refiner, but others in the Ran family, like Ran Zitong, did.
Yun Miaozhu from the Yun family also had an unpleasant expression on her face.
Du Rou'er and Du Yao'er from the Du family also looked ugly.
"Elder sister, second brother won't lose, right?" Du Yao'er looked worriedly at Du Ziteng who was competing on the stage.
If it were before, Du Rou'er would surely say confidently that he wouldn't lose.
But now, seeing that Feng Yuqin was refining weapons even faster than her younger brother, her face turned even more gloomy.
"Father told us that we must get three spots this time." Du Rou'er said gloomily.
"But under such circumstances, there's nothing we can do." Du Yao'er was also anxious. "They're already on the competition stage. We can't interfere even if we want to."
Hearing this, Du Rou'er looked in the direction of the hidden families.
The people from the hidden families were outside at the moment.
Seeing Du Rou'er looking over, Du Wenshan, the grand elder of the Du family, shook his head at her.
Seeing this, a trace of malice flashed across Du Rou'er's eyes.
"This Feng Yuqin is really a monster." Zong Zichen also came this time.
Normally, he wouldn't have come to such a competition.
But recently, he didn't know what was wrong with him.
He used to find seclusion in cultivation very interesting.
But now, he found it boring.
It was better to watch Feng Yuqin continuously break her own records.
"If I remember correctly, she had only been refining weapons for a short time last time, but now she has improved so much." Jiu Tianhua said.
The levels of weapon - refining were divided into: beginner, intermediate, advanced, master, grandmaster, sage - grandmaster, emperor - grandmaster, sky - fire, and divine - fire.
Each level was further divided into high, medium, and low ranks.
Back then, Feng Yuqin had reached the advanced level in a short period.
But now, they could clearly feel that Feng Yuqin's weapon - refiner level was at least the high rank of the master level.
It was possible that she had already entered the grandmaster level.
Most importantly, the things she refined didn't look like low - rank weapons at all.
The quality of the weapons refined by Du Ziteng and Ran Xiuzhe from the hidden families was obviously inferior to Feng Yuqin's.
"This woman is really a treasure." Zong Zichen sighed. "I'm suddenly a bit envious of Mo Xuanye."
Jiu Tianhua's eyes darkened slightly, and a strange look flashed across his eyes as he looked at Feng Yuqin.
But it was quickly suppressed.
Those who were on good terms with Feng Yuqin were very happy to see this.
Forces like the Feiyun Sect and the Han family.
The Han family was especially delighted.
The Han family had been working hard to see if they could break into the eight great sects.
So initially, Han Luosu didn't plan to participate in this competition.
But when Han Luosu came, the family members knew about it.
So the people from the Han family who came this time were no ordinary figures. They were the old master of the Han family, Han Luosu's father Han Zhengliang, and a third elder of the Han family.
"Father, is Luosu on good terms with Divine Doctor Feng?" Han Zhengliang asked excitedly.
"Judging from the current situation, if Divine Doctor Feng wanted to find someone, she could surely find an alchemist more powerful than Luosu. After all, she is on good terms with the Feiyun Sect among the eight great sects. But she chose Luosu, which means Luosu has a certain place in her heart." The old master of the Han family was happy to see this situation.
"Our Han family is in such a situation now. If we can get a helping hand from the Dark Night Pavilion, maybe we can enter the eight great sects." The third elder said.
Hearing this, the old master of the Han family glanced at the third elder indifferently. "Do you think it's more appropriate to be on good terms with Divine Doctor Feng in the long - run or to take advantage of this opportunity in front of her?"
The third elder was left speechless.
"Father wants Han Luosu to maintain a long - term good relationship with Divine Doctor Feng." Han Zhengliang said.
"We all know Luosu's situation. He should have better development." The old master of the Han family sighed as if thinking of something. "Compared with the development of the family, I prefer to see Luosu reach greater heights."
Hearing this, Han Zhengliang fell silent.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much." The old master of the Han family looked at Han Zhengliang. "Luosu is a good boy. No matter where he goes, he won't forget us."
The old master of the Han family was very confident about this.
After all, although Han Zhengliang was Han Luosu's father, it was mostly the old master who had been cultivating Han Luosu.
Moreover, the old master never rushed when educating children.
No matter what, the foundation must be solid.
So Han Luosu might not have developed very quickly in the past few years.
But the old master knew that Han Luosu would make rapid progress in the future.
He had lived for so many years and had a sharp eye.
He could tell that although Feng Yuqin didn't seem to be the most powerful at present, her upgrading speed was very fast.
Although he didn't know exactly what was going on.
He didn't even know that Feng Yuqin had only started cultivating at the age of 15.
All in all, her cultivation time was no more than six years, including the time when she was pregnant.
But Feng Yuqin was very good at formations. He already knew that Feng Yuqin was involved in breaking the formations of the Starfall Hall.
She was also excellent at weapon - refining.
Needless to say, her alchemy and medical skills were top - notch.
"Luosu is fortunate to follow Divine Doctor Feng." The old master of the Han family looked at Han Zhengliang. "You must remember that no matter what happens, you should unconditionally stand on the side of Divine Doctor Feng. Otherwise, I'll remove you as the head of the family."
Han Zhengliang: "..."
