Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 881 - 750: Attracting Attention

When Yue Mei pointed it out, the Sifang City Lord and others who had been focusing on other contestants also noticed Ye Lingyue.

When the Sifang City Lord saw clearly that Ye Lingyue had thrown the Nine Dragon Chant into the Artifact Refining Cauldron, his gaze tightened.

Is that the broken sword of the Nine Dragon Chant? That little girl actually chose that sword?

With the storeroom emptied, it was not surprising that the Nine Dragon Roar Broken Sword appeared in Ye Lingyue’s hands, but what was surprising was that she actually chose to refine the sword directly with the short sword.

The Sifang City Lord had presided over the World’s First Forging Competition many times, and there were not many alchemists and spiritual artifacts that truly impressed him, but Ye Wuming and the Nine Dragon Roar counted as one.

Moreover, if Ye Wuming had not failed at the last moment back then, the Sifang City Lord might have already accepted him as a closed-door disciple many years ago.

The Sifang City Lord had felt regret for Ye Wuming’s near success all those years ago and hadn’t expected to see someone refining the Nine Dragon Chant again in his lifetime.

The Sifang City Lord was filled with mixed emotions and did not speak for a moment. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Miss Yue, both secondary forging and primary forging are allowed in the World’s First Forging, after all, secondary forging requires more effort than primary forging."

Before the Sifang City Lord could speak, the Monk Nan Jiu chimed in, having already sensed the hostility in Yue Mei’s words towards Ye Lingyue.

"Master Nan Jiu, even though she refused to be your disciple, you still want to side with her?" Yue Mei said displeasedly.

"Miss Yue, as a monk, I have always been fair. Whether secondary forging constitutes a violation, you can ask the Sifang City Lord and Lord Zitang." Monk Nan Jiu uttered an "Amitabha Buddha".

The monk thought to himself that both women and petty people are hard to deal with. The results of the contest have not even come out yet, and Yue Mei is already confronting them. If it continues like this, it will cause quite a commotion during the final selection.

The Sifang City Lord then looked at Zitang Su, who sat there as steady as a mountain, unmoved by the argument between the two. After a while, Zitang Su moved his lips and uttered a single word.

"Noisy."

With one word, he stunned Yue Mei.

The implication was clearly that she was being too noisy.

Although Yue Mei didn’t care for the Sifang City Lord and Monk Nan Jiu, she didn’t dare to utter a single word extra when it came to Zitang Su.

In fact, she wasn’t even sure of Zitang Su’s true identity, but when leaving the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, her master repeatedly warned her not to offend Zitang Su.

As for what position Zitang Su held in Lonely Moon Sea, not even the Yaochi Pavilion Master himself would dare to speak of it.

Seeing Yue Mei obediently close her mouth, the Sifang City Lord laughed awkwardly and allowed the contest to continue.

The viewing platform fell quiet again.

Zitang Su, who had only said one word, briefly focused his gaze on Ye Lingyue and the gray fire she wielded.

Seeing that small wisp of gray fire, which seemed about to extinguish at any moment, a hint of doubt arose in Zitang Su’s eyes. He, too, was unsure what exactly that fire was.

It did not appear to be an ordinary white fire.

Zitang Su didn’t notice that as he watched the forging field, another pair of eyes never left him once.

Despite trying every possible means to attract Zitang Su’s attention, Hong Mingyue, who had even gone to great lengths to dress up that day, found that Zitang Su still didn’t notice her.

Instead, it was Ye Lingyue’s insignificant inferior fire that immediately caught Lord Zitang’s attention.

"Ye Lingyue, that little wench, really loves to show off."

In the audience stands, Hong Mingyue’s eyes were filled with gloom, and she sneered coldly.

She had acquired some of Chen Hongru’s cultivation, along with his memories.

She was naturally aware of the grievances between Chen Hongru and Ye Wuming.

Back then, when Ye Wuming was refining, he had used the Earth Core Meteor Fire, while the Artifact Refining Cauldron he used was the Water Cauldron from among the Five Elements Spirit Cauldrons.

Today, however, Ye Lingyue was using white fire and the cauldron provided by the City Lord’s Mansion.

The grade of the Earth Core Meteor Fire falls between the blue spiritual and green spiritual lifebound fire. To replace it with white fire and use an ordinary cauldron instead of the Five Elements Water Cauldron seemed utterly laughable to Hong Mingyue.

Ye Lingyue, this time, you are bound to lose. Not only will you lose, but you will also suffer hundreds of times more miserably than Ye Wuming did back then. For causing my family’s ruin and of course, for catching Lord Zitang’s attention.

An insidious expression flickered across Hong Mingyue’s face.

The undercurrent in the audience stands and viewing platform went unnoticed by Ye Lingyue.

Although she was mentally prepared, it wasn’t until she began the secondary forging that Ye Lingyue realized how arduous a task it was; no wonder Long Baobao had repeatedly advised her to act cautiously.

It’s well known that alchemists are divided into artifact refiners and alchemy masters.

Most alchemists on the Qing Province Continent specialize in one of these paths exclusively, whereas Ye Lingyue was the opposite.

Originating from the Ye Family, which was an Artifact Refining Family in the past, there was no systematic training in forging in the Ye Family anymore.

As for alchemy, that was because Ye Lingyue possessed the Hong Meng Notebook and the Qian Cauldron.

Later, upon meeting Ancestor Ye Wuming, she unwittingly became a rare dual-focusing alchemist in the mainland.

However, to outsiders, Ye Lingyue seemed entirely unremarkable, especially when they discovered she used the lowest level "white fire."

For those like Long Sixuan and Lie Xuyang, who had traditional backgrounds and grew up with systematic training as alchemists, she was nothing but an unworthy opponent, and no one took her seriously as a competitor.

Most watched Long Baobao, Long Sixuan, and Lie Xuyang, who used advanced fire seeds.

As a result, Ye Lingyue took a relaxed approach.

She fully followed her own ideas and began the secondary forging.

Unlike failing at alchemy where elixirs turn into waste, in artifact refining, there is a concept of primary and secondary forging.

Primary forging, as the name suggests, is the initial forging, directly using various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Secondary forging, like what Ye Lingyue was doing now, involves re-forging a failed spiritual artifact.

Most alchemists believe secondary forging has a high failure rate and should not be attempted.

Yet, Ye Lingyue decided to do just that, even in the crucial artifact refining contest at the World’s First Forging.

Based on Ancestor Ye Wuming’s foundation, Ye Lingyue began re-refining the artifact, finding this process more challenging than any she had faced before.

The first step of primary forging is purification and material fusion.

Secondary forging, however, does the opposite by extracting all materials from the Nine Dragon Roar Broken Sword.

After all, there must have been a reason for Grand Ancestor Ye’s failure over five hundred years ago in refining it.

What Ye Lingyue needed to do was identify the reason for Grand Ancestor’s failure in forging and correct it.

The gray fire was quite inconspicuous, burning slowly.

It burned all night, and by dawn, the tiny fragment of the Nine Dragon Roar Broken Sword, no larger than a palm, began to change.
