Chapter 233 Registration
Five months passed quickly, and the huge flying boat slowly docked at the flying boat docking station at the gate of Mingliu City.
As the day of the weapon refining competition draws closer, more and more cultivators come to Mingliu City to participate in the competition and watch the fun.
The Li family is also very generous. Since a month ago, they have waived the entrance fee to Mingliu City.
Although it was only ten low-grade spirit stones, it still received praise from many cultivators. Even Lin Xia had a very good first impression of the Li family.
You know, there are quite a few cultivators entering and leaving Mingliu City every day. Free entry to the city for one day is a considerable income, not to mention that it is free from three months before the start of the equipment refining competition until the end of the competition.
Not only that, in order to ensure the smooth progress of this weapon refining competition, the Li family began making preparations after announcing the holding of the weapon refining competition ten years ago.
Not only was a new venue built for the competition, but a garden was also specially built for the monks who came to participate in the competition to live in.
……
After entering Mingliu City, Lin Xia immediately inquired about the news and planned to go to the registration office set up by the Li family in the central square of Mingliu City.
Since a month ago, disciples of the Li family have been on duty here day and night to ensure that all weapon refiners who want to participate in the competition can register smoothly.
The closer we got to the central square, the more crowded the road became. We couldn't tell if there were more monks joining in the fun, or more weapon refiners signing up.
"Fellow Daoists, please line up and come one by one."
"My fellow Taoist, please don't worry, everyone can sign up."
"My fellow Daoist, please do not cut in line. Your place is here."
……
Several male cultivators wearing the uniforms of Li family disciples stood in the crowd to maintain order, shouting from time to time. Perhaps because the crowd was too noisy, their voices were a little hoarse.
For a moment, Lin Xia, who was squeezed in the crowd to queue up, had some hallucinations, as if she was in modern times, fighting for discounted vegetables with a group of old men and women in the vegetable market.
"Is this the inner court disciple of the Li family? He is so impressive! He is indeed a disciple of a great family."
"Fellow Daoist, you must have misjudged me. I'm wearing a cyan disciple uniform, the clan emblem on the chest is white, and there are no embroidered auspicious cloud patterns on the cuffs. I think I'm a disciple from the outer courtyard."
"How could the inner court disciples of a large family do such menial tasks? Only outer court disciples would do them."
……
Lin Xia stood in the team, listening to the discussions of several monks in front of him, and felt a little dizzy.
If she had known earlier, she would have come a few days later, and maybe she could have avoided the large group of people registering.
Alas, it is really not easy for her to save some spirit stones.
After arriving in Mingliu City, Lin Xia learned that the Li family would give a reply within three days regarding the piece of fine iron submitted after registration. Once the Li family's inspection passed, the owner of the fine iron would be considered to have successfully registered and could move into the garden prepared by the Li family for the weapon refiners participating in the competition in advance.
When Lin Xia heard the news, she didn't even go to book an inn, but came to sign up directly.
Unexpectedly, it was not only Lin Xia who was thinking about saving spirit stones, but the other cultivators who came to participate in the competition also thought so.
Therefore, Lin Xia waited in line for most of the day before she finally saw the registration office in the center of the central square.
After waiting in line for more than half an hour until it got dark, it was finally Lin Xia's turn.
Even though the registration process had been repeated for too long, the Li family disciple at the registration desk was still very friendly. "Fellow Daoist, please put your refined iron into this box and mark your name on it."
Seeing Lin Xia put the refined iron in, the disciple put it into the storage ring on his hand and reminded Lin Xia, "By the way, fellow Daoist, don't forget to leave your spiritual power mark on the jade slip over here. If it passes the test, we will notify you in time, no later than three days."
The implication is that if it exceeds three days, it will fail the test.
"Thank you!" Lin Xia nodded and left the crowd.
After a lot of trouble, I finally registered.
It’s already late, and judging by the situation, it might be hard to find an inn in Mingliu City.
Lin Xia did not dare to delay and walked out of the central square. As he passed the most crowded streets, he looked back inadvertently and saw that there were still many monks queuing up to register.
As the night deepens, you can still see crowds of people, and a faint sense of vigor and vitality can be seen.
Lin Xia couldn't help but smile knowingly, and her somewhat irritable mood gradually improved.
The road to cultivation is long and lonely, but there are always small things that can soothe one’s heart.
However, it seems that even if the entrance fee is waived, the Li family can probably make a lot of money by holding such a weapon refining competition.
With this amount of people, a few days of consumption can make up for the shortfall in the city entrance fee.
The Li family is indeed a big family. They have not only gained a good reputation, but also made a lot of money.
By the time Lin Xia had wandered around Mingliu City for several hours and finally found an inn that was not full, the moon was already at its zenith.
After running around all day, Lin Xia was so tired that he simply gave up practicing and fell asleep.
At this time, the Li family's weapon refining hall was still brightly lit.
The refined iron that the refiners submitted when they registered was continuously sent to the Refining Hall. The disciples of the Refining Hall had been working tirelessly for many days just to select the qualified ones from the numerous refined irons.
This time, most of those who came to Mingliu City to participate in the weapon refining competition were independent cultivators, except for a small number of children from large families who came under the banner of exchange. The weapon refining books circulating in Tianyan Continent were of varying quality, and the independent cultivators' weapon refining levels were also varying.
If you can't even temper a piece of fine iron, there's really no point in participating in the competition.
It was just a matter of testing the refined iron, a task that was not actually that difficult, so it was done by the inner court disciples of the Li family's weapon refining hall.
However, in order to avoid causing controversy, the entire inspection process will be recorded with a photo stone to prevent anyone from making unreasonable demands due to not being able to enter the preliminary round.
As pieces of fine iron passed through the hands of the inner court disciples, these disciples could quickly tell whether they were qualified or not simply by scanning them with their spiritual sense.
Those who fail the test will be thrown aside at random, while those who pass the test will be recorded by special disciples so that the owner of the fine iron can be notified to participate in the competition later.
"Senior sister, how are you doing? Nearly two-thirds of the refined iron here is not up to standard." A young male cultivator asked the female cultivator next to him while yawning.
The young male cultivator is named Ren Ziyu, an inner courtyard disciple of the Li family's weapon refining hall. The female cultivator next to him is named Li Huan.
"It's even worse than yours." Li Huan curled his lips, thinking, these casual cultivators can't even handle a piece of refined iron, and they still think they can get away with it?! It's not that easy to take advantage of the Li family.
Hearing this, Ren Ziyou lost his spirits even more. With this level, what's the point of competing?!
