“Bo Yan, you think so too?” At this moment, Elder Wen Xi popped out of nowhere as he chuckled and reminded delightfully, “I recruited that kid! The moment I saw him a few days ago, I felt that his talent was shocking. He’s obedient, and he definitely has a bright future ahead of him! How is it? My taste isn’t bad, right? Sigh, the only pity is that this kid cultivates as a heavenly doctor! If he were a warrior, tsk tsk—”

　　Elder Wen Xi was elated and regretful. He was happy that he recruited such an outstanding student. He felt regret as this child couldn’t follow him to cultivate, and it directly benefited Elder Wan Zheng.

　　“Hmph, Wan Zheng owes me a big favor this time!” said Elder Wen Xi confidently.

　　Rong Xiu glanced at him strangely. Hm? You can’t be sure who owes whom…

　　“You accepted quite a few students too. One of them also seems to be the eldest daughter of the Luo family from Ming Sha Ocean?” Elder Bo Yan smiled. “Isn’t that enough?”

　　Elder Wen Xi coughed. “Um… The more, the merrier, right!? The more, the merrier!”

　　Rong Xiu looked down again before slowly bidding the crowd farewell. “Elder Bo Yan, regarding the incident we talked about previously, I need to go back and make some preparations. Therefore, I won’t stay any longer.”

　　The few elders weren’t surprised that Rong Xiu wanted to leave. It was already very hard for him to be willing to reveal his face on such an occasion.

　　Besides, he had just fought with Yan Shuli.

　　“Okay. I’ll send someone—”

　　“Thank you for your kind intentions, Elder Bo Yan, but I won’t need them for now.” Rong Xiu smiled. “Even though I haven’t been back in a few years, I’m still quite familiar with the academy as a student.”

　　Elder Bo Yan heard Rong Xiu call himself that for once and felt emotional, so he nodded. “Okay, you can just do it your way.”

　　Rong Xiu quickly left.

　　Seeing his figure disappear, quite a few people looked disappointed. However, they also knew that Rong Xiu no longer stayed in the academy, so it was already very hard for them to meet him even once. Hence, they didn’t dare to think of anything else.

　　After his departure, Wei Xiping and the rest also left one after another.

　　In Dong Huang Clock Tower, only the elders were left.

　　The competition in Qing Ming Square still continued vigorously.

　　As the competition proceeded, the rankings on the Qing Yun Ranking gradually changed.

　　The people who successfully made it onto the lists were naturally over the moon, while those who unfortunately lost were dejected.

　　The people on the ranking lists competed even more intensely.

　　Everyone was a talent from all walks of life. Other than a special demonic-like existence, most people were equally capable. In such situations, the fight to be the stronger one would be very intense.

　　At this point, Chu Liuyue then knew that the higher one’s ranking on the Qing Yun Ranking and the longer they stayed there, the more points they would get.

　　It was needless to talk about those few people at the top of the ranking lists.

　　Thinking of how 5,000 points were deducted in the blink of an eye after she managed to earn 20,000 points with much difficulty, Chu Liuyue’s heart ached.

　　The fastest way to earn points was actually to get on the Qing Yun Ranking! But even for the heavenly doctor list that she had the most confidence in, the hundredth-rank person was a peak ninth-grade heavenly doctor!

　　If she wanted to beat him, she had to at least produce a pill of a similar grade.

　　Chu Liuyue felt her head ache.

　　“Chu Yue, what are you thinking about?” asked Luo Shishi.

　　Chu Liuyue gently stroked her chin. “I’m thinking… of how to get on the Qing

　　Yun Ranking…”

　　Luo Shishi couldn’t control herself as she snorted out in laughter. “You’re already thinking about this now?! Isn’t it a little… mm… early? I think you should try when you’re stronger and more confident so that you’ll succeed on the first try. What do you think?”

　　This was already said in a curt manner. As if she didn’t want to pour water on Chu Liuyue’s enthusiasm, she added, “It won’t take too long given your talent, right?”

　　Chu Liuyue’s gaze flickered slightly as she smiled slightly. “You’re right. I can’t rush this kind of thing.”

　　It’s already so hard to get on the heavenly doctor list. The competition for the other two lists will only be more intense. Out ofall the ranking lists, only the Armory Refinement Master list that doesn’t even have a hundred people won’t have much competition.

　　Right—Armory refinement masters! Chu Liuyue’s eyes suddenly lit up as she looked toward the north. If I can exhibit some skills as an Armory Refinement Master, doesn’t it mean that I can directlyget onto the list?

　　Upon deeper thought, I have produced Yuan instruments before. The

　　Cloud-Sky Copper Sword that Qiang Wanzhou used back then was produced by me! Even though it can’t t be considered as completely producing it, maybe… I can reallygive it a try?! Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue walked toward the Armory Refinement Master area.

　　Hearing Chu Liuyue’s footsteps, Elder Ren Ran—who was about to fall asleep while standing had only one eye open. Oh, it’s the new student that keeps walking around… He seems to be the one that followed Wan Zheng?

　　Following this, Elder Ren Ran saw that young man walking straight toward him and stopping before him.

　　“Greetings, Elder.”

　　Elder Ren Ran opened his second eye and said lazily, “What?”

　　When ordinary people saw his attitude for the first time, they would definitely think that he was arrogant and rude. But in actual fact, those who were familiar with Elder Ren Ran or familiar with the tempers of Armory Refinement Masters would all know that he was already being very polite.

　　This was all because of Elder Wan Zheng.

　　Chu Liuyue didn’t mind it either as she respectfully bowed and said, “I want to get on the Armory Refinement Master list.”

　　“Mm… Mm?!” Elder Ren Ran reacted and straightened his body. Then, he sized Chu Liuyue up and suddenly laughed. “I couldn’t tell, but you do have quite a few treasures…

　　There really are very few Yuan instruments that can completely hide one’s aura and avoid my vision.

　　“Kid, what warrior level are you at now?

　　Chu Liuyue paused and lazily said, “I’m a beginner stage-seven warrior.”

　　I should be able to break through to become an intermediate stage-seven warrior real soon—but she didn’t say this.

　　“What? Beginner stage-seven warrior?” Elder Ren Ran widened his eyes in shock as he slapped his thighs and laughed out loud. “Hahaha! Kid, you really have no fear! Do you know that you must at least be a demigod to be on the Armory Refinement Master list? You’re quite far off as a stage-seven warrior!” Elder Ren Ran’s laugh attracted quite a few people’s attention.

　　After hearing his words, everyone’s gaze landed on Chu Liuyue. What else did they not understand?

　　This kid thatjust entered the academy wants to use his skills as a stage-seven warrior to enter the Armory Refinement Master list?! Dream on! He doesn’ t even know the most basic requirement for entering the list. Isn’t he too naive?! “Kid, it’s good that you want to get on the Qing Yun Ranking, but you need to see if you have that capability! You should just go home, bathe, and sleep!”
