Chapter 1831: I Remember Who You Are (2)
The hall spanned an area of at least 10,000 feet. On the white jade square, refiners were scattered everywhere.
A team of at least 20 refiners dressed in white robes, both divine level and sage level, stood there with solemn expressions.
Such a formation was rarely seen even once in several years.
Wu Zhao looked a little surprised. He frowned slightly and said, “Which elite junior has arrived?”
He quietly looked at Han Muye beside him.
Then, he shook his head in disappointment.
It couldn’t be this person.
So, could it be Young Master Qi?
When he turned around, Young Master Qi and the others had already rushed over.
This made Wu Zhao’s expression even more unpleasant.
The level six armor master who was leading the way was overjoyed. He looked at the divine level and sage level craftsmen waiting on the stone steps in front of him.
“Young Master Qi, are they here to welcome you?
“I really didn’t expect Young Master Qi to have such a deep background.”
Everyone from the Qi family looked at each other. The old man in front showed a hint of confusion.
Young Master Qi first frowned, then chuckled, “Although I’m not considered a genius, I did receive the three million innovation reward from the Jujin Trading Company.”
An elite weapon refiner who had received an innovation reward!
Young Master Qi’s words made those around him turn their heads in shock.
Those who received rewards from Jujin Trading Company were all innovators in weapon refining and were considered future pillars of the Galaxy’s weapon forging community.
It was no wonder why the Alliance of Artifact Refiners paid so much attention, with so many powerful people welcoming him.
“Seniors, this is Young Master Qi Zhujian from the Qi family of Yuehu City.” The level-six armor master who led the way had a happy expression as he quickly walked forward and bowed to the group of divine and sage-level refiners in front of the stone steps.
He was telling them that the person they were waiting for had arrived.
Wu Zhao’s face was filled with envy.
Sometimes, opportunities just came like that.
Sometimes, opportunities were like this.
He was sure that the level six armor master named Zhu Shaosheng would not require the Qi family’s payment but would directly align himself with them.
Most factions would not reject a cultivator who had been in Wanjin City for a long time.
Moreover, this was considered karma.
For Zhu Shaosheng, he could leave his current way of making a living and become an important person of a large faction in Wanjin City.
Even being a pawn had its value, right?
Without skills, you wouldn’t even qualify to be a pawn.
In front of the stone steps, the god-level refiner frowned slightly and nodded. “Are you here to participate in the certification trial?”
Zhu Shaosheng was stunned and nodded blankly.
The joy on the faces of the Qi family froze.
Qi Zhujian looked a little embarrassed.
“Let’s wait at the side first.” The god-level refiner at the front looked at Qi Zhujian and waved his hand.
Although Qi Zhujian’s expression was not good, he still nodded and bowed. Then he stood at the side.
A divine artifact refiner’s words, especially one of Wanjin City’s divine experts, couldn’t be ignored.
He moved aside. A young man in a green robe with a level nine refiner badge on his chest smiled and cupped his hands. “I’m Zhang Xiangming. I should be participating in the trial with Young Master Qi. Please take care of me—”
Qi Zhujian glanced at him and turned his head away.
This made Zhang Xiangming a little embarrassed, and he forced a smile on his face.
Wu Zhao looked at Zhu Shaosheng and then at Qi Zhujian, feeling a bit pleased.
The divine-level refiner standing on the stone steps in front glanced at Han Muye, looked at the badge on his chest, and said, “Are you also here to participate in the certification trial?”
Han Muye nodded.
The old man waved his hand. “Stand aside.”
Han Muye cupped his hands and stood beside Zhang Xiangming.
Zhang Xiangming glanced at Han Muye and nodded as a greeting.
In his opinion, Han Muye should be similar to him. They both did not have any background.
Han Muye stood there with his eyes slightly closed.
After a while, they heard a cry of surprise.
“Coming!”
“What a huge lineup.”
“It’s obvious he’s an elite.”
Han Muye opened his eyes and saw that the refiners in front of the stone steps all looked eager.
The surrounding people made way.
A young man in a purple robe with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes walked over quickly.
The young man had a level nine badge on his chest.
“It’s him…” Han Muye smiled.
He really knew this person.
It was Xu Ao, a level nine refining master.
Although it was level nine, it was actually about the same as him. It was because there was no certification method in the city that it had not been certified. Otherwise, it would at least be at the sage realm.
Han Muye knew Xu Ao because Xu Ao had received innovative rewards from the Jujin Trading Company twice.
The first time was 30 million origin coins, and the second time was 200 million.
Actually, there were still some unspoken rules regarding the Jujin Trading Company’s rewards.
It was already extremely rare for non-workshops and trading companies to obtain a reward of hundreds of millions of origin coins.
For Xu Ao to receive 200 million as a reward, he was indeed outstanding.
Its unique method of mixing materials solved the problem of replacing several high-grade spiritual materials for level seven and eight battle puppets.
This way, he could extract those high-level spiritual materials and use them in the refinement of other high-level battle puppets.
“Haha, Xu Ao, you’re finally here.” The divine-level refiner standing at the front of the stairs smiled, stretched out his hand, and quickly walked down.
“Senior Brother Luo Yang, Teacher called me over. How can I not come?” Xu Ao smiled and stepped forward.
The other refiners also smiled and greeted him happily.
Everyone else became mere background figures.
Qi Zhujian had obviously heard of Xu Ao’s name before. His eyes lit up as he whispered a few words.
On the other hand, Zhang Xiangming did not seem to know Xu Ao’s name. He only found out after listening to the discussion behind him. Immediately, his face revealed a look of reverence.
“Let’s catch up and talk about it after the certification trial.” Xu Ao cupped his hands and said.
“Yes, your level nine badge should have been changed a long time ago.” Luo Yang laughed and patted Xu Ao’s shoulder.
“Teacher doesn’t have a level nine refiner under him.
“This time, Teacher is going to introduce you to a new big shot. A level nine like you won’t catch his eye.”
A big shot?
Or was it a newbie?
Xu Ao was slightly stunned, and a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face. “Senior Brother, is… is it Master Han?”
“I heard that Master Han is going to become the core Elder of the Alliance of Artifact Refiners?”
His words caused a hush around.
Who in the world didn’t know Master Han’s name?
Who didn’t wish to have Master Han’s wealth, to be like Master Han, pushing the advent of the Silver Age single-handedly?
“Haha, let’s talk after the trial.” The divine-level refiner named Luo Yang waved his hand and laughed, then looked at Han Muye and the others.
Han Muye, Zhang Xiangming, Qi Zhujian, and Xu Ao were still one short.
“Who else wants to participate in the trial?”
Luo Yang turned around.
Everyone around shrank back slightly.
Joining the trial with Xu Ao and Qi Zhujian?
That would clearly place them in the last three and they wouldn’t be able to get the badge for years.
Luo Yang frowned.
“Well, how about I make up the numbers?” A voice sounded not far away.
A middle-aged weapon forger in worn clothes and with a scruffy beard walked over.
He was wearing a level nine armor master badge on his chest.
“Good, we have enough people. Let’s proceed to the hall for the trial.
“Rest assured, the Wanjin City trials are fair. Each stage is controlled and monitored by a grand formation, preventing any cheating.” Luo Yang called out, pushing open the grand hall door behind him.
Fair?
How fair. How could you people be standing here chatting with Xu Ao?
Zhang Xiangyang stepped back, gesturing deferentially for Xu Ao and Qi Zhujian to go first.
Then he followed them into the hall.
Han Muye turned around and looked at the refiner who came last to make up the numbers. He chuckled and nodded.
Throughout, no one asked who he was.
But Han Muye had seen this person before.
According to He Yangsun, if origin coins could bring this person into a workshop, they could offer 10 billion a year.
Obsessed with refining, indifferent to his rank, casually producing a few battle puppets that earned him 1.3 billion origin coins from the Jujin Trading Company, the level-nine artifact refiner, Qu Zhengjia.
Lunatic Qu.
“Brother, have we met somewhere before?” Qu Zhengjia suddenly paused, looking at Han Muye as they entered the hall.
They had met.
Han Muye chuckled.
“Forget it, I just don’t like remembering people.” Qu Zhengjia waved his hand and muttered before walking ahead quickly.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and slowly turned around. He looked at Han Muye with a solemn expression.
“I remember who you are.”
