Ye Chen looked at the young man lying on the ground and then at the other cultivation bases giving him a thumbs up. Ye Chen could not help but to let out a bitter laugh.

Before leaving the Ye Residence, Ye Tianyun had given him a detailed report on Sky Tide City, and the information regarding Duanmu's Yu Family was naturally included therein.

The young man in front of him was named Duan Mu Jin, and he was one of the three young masters of the Heavenly Tide City. Other than Duan Mu Jin, there was also the son of the Hall Master of Clear Wind, Bai Shaofeng.

The three foppish young masters were not that powerful, but their background made everyone wary of them. This helped to boost their arrogance.

"Young Master, Young Master." The voices of the two servants trembled slightly as they glared at Ye Chen. However, they were afraid of Ye Chen's strength, as no matter how hedonistic Mu Jin was, she was still at the late stage of Spirit Insight Stage. However, she didn't have the strength to fight back in front of the white-clothed youth in front of her.

"Hurry up and get lost!" Ye Chen shouted angrily as he glared at the two of them. Carrying Mu Jin, the two of them quickly disappeared from the crowd.

The three examiners glanced at Ye Chen, and did not take this matter to heart. One of the examiners said lightly: "If you guys can pass the examination after refining a set of Profound Artifact within two hours, prepare the materials yourself. Each of you will only have one chance."

Then, the six of them quickly walked to the refining table, each taking out a piece of material and began to refine it. One hour was still too short for them; it took them at least half a day to refine a Xuan Artifact, and it consumed a lot of their mental energy.

Ye Chen took out a few refining materials and formed a few hand signs. After a while, the furnace began to emit a thick smoke and a thunderous sound could be heard from within.

"Does he know how to forge equipment? This is a sign that the furnace is about to explode."

"His refining skills are too casual. It's like a child playing with the house. Does he think that he can forge artifacts with a few hand seals?"

"He doesn't even know the most basic refining sequence. He doesn't even know how to forge artifacts!"

Originally, everyone held high hopes for him, but he never thought that he would actually forge artifacts as casually as he did. His every move did not resemble that of a refiner's, and everyone sighed as their gazes immediately turned towards the other refiners.

After a short while, everyone's gaze fell on a young man in white. There were even many examiners exchanging glances from time to time.

The white-clothed youth beckoned with his hand and a mass of crimson flames appeared out of thin air, emitting a domineering aura. The many refining materials selected by the white-clothed youth were all wrapped in the crimson flames.

"Isn't this the person who signed up before me? I think he's called Lin Chuan?" Ye Chen squinted his eyes slightly, he was surprised at the speed at which the white clothed youth was removing the impurities. Although it was made from the mysteries of fire, the speed at which the impurities were being removed was barely comparable to his.

"Old Lin, this boy Lin Chuan's refining talent is definitely a rare genius in my Tianlan Prefecture. But, didn't you not let Lin Chuan participate in this year's refining competition?" On the examiners' table, a purple-robed old man whispered to himself while another white-haired old man said.

"This kid actually sneaked out! I'll definitely skin him when I get back!" However, it was difficult to conceal the pride in his eyes. Who wouldn't want their children and grandchildren to be praised by others?

"Old Lin, please be secretly happy. If I can have a grandson like him, then I can enjoy life." The purple-robed elder felt a burst of envy.

After a short while, a complicated technique was quickly formed in Lin Chuan's hands, which he used an exquisite technique to insert into the crafting furnace. After a short while, a complex technique was quickly formed in Lin Chuan's hands, which he used an exquisite technique to create into the crafting furnace.

Ye Chen did not move, strands of soul force shot out from his body and flowed into the furnace. His hands formed hand seals, and although it looked slow, he was actually extremely fast.

In about half a cup of tea's time, following Ye Chen's soft shout, the lid of the furnace flew out with a loud bang, and a streak of flowing light shot out from the furnace.

"Examiners, please appraise this." Ye Chen calmly walked in front of a few examiners, and everyone looked at the teenager in front of them with astonishment. Their faces revealed shocked expressions, and their gazes couldn't help but fall onto the incense stick on the stage.

The few examiners looked at each other, and then simultaneously looked towards the artifact that Ye Chen had refined. It was a dagger, about seven inches long, with rainbow colored light flowing through it.

"Low tier Profound Artifact!" They had seen the entire refining process very clearly. Furthermore, this dagger was emitting a scalding temperature, it was definitely a weapon that was just crafted, but the refining speed was just too fast right?

"Low tier Profound Artifact? He actually refined an Inferior Grade Profound Artifact? "How is this possible? If I had known earlier that I would be able to refine low rank Profound Artifact with just a few hand techniques, I would have gone to register as well."

"With just you? Can you take out a hundred spirit crystals? "

All of the cultivators in the four directions immediately became excited. Previously, they thought that Ye Chen did not know how to refine equipment, but now, he was the fastest person to refine an Inferior Grade Profound Artifact.

"Young man, what's your name?" Suddenly, a black-robed examiner asked as he admired Ye Chen.

"Chen Ye." Ye Chen answered. He did not call himself "Master", and instead deliberately raised his "Ye" tone, as long as he did not pay special attention to Ye Family, it would be difficult for others to discover his true identity.

"Which sect did you come from?" The old man in black continued asking.

"What, Old Chu, do you want to take this kid as your disciple?" Old Lin's expression changed slightly as he transmitted his voice.

Old Chu, you are too dishonest. I, Old Zi, have known you for dozens of years, and you already have that little bastard Chu Yuan, and old ghost Lin has his grandson Lin Chuan as well. I, Old Zi, am all alone. The purple-robed old man quickly said.

"Junior is from no sect." Ye Chen said indifferently. He naturally understood the meaning behind the black-robed old man's words, but he remained completely indifferent. On the way of artifact forging, he was confident that no one in the Tianlan Prefecture could become his master.

"Chen Ye, you have passed the examination. The first round of the competition will be held here three days from now. You have just offended the Qingmu Hall, so you must be careful for the next few days." Before the purple-robed old man could say anything, the black-robed old man spoke.

"Thank you, senior." Ye Chen nodded, then bowed to the three of them and disappeared into the crowd.

When Ye Chen left, the young man called Lin Chuan happened to be holding an artifact he refined, and slowly walked over, his expression was a little nervous as he looked at the white-haired old man.

"Old Lin, I guess only that kid Chen Ye from earlier can compete with the successors of your eight great clans in this year's Refining Competition." The purple-robed old man sighed as he looked at the direction Ye Chen left in. Lin Chuan who had just arrived had a look of shock.
