Emmitt Turner smiled faintly and began to speak.
"Whoever can secure the first place will receive ten nine-grade immortal pills, ten rare refining materials, and ten rare medicinal materials for pill refinement!
Additionally, there are three Spirit Level Artifacts, five High-grade Immortal Weapons, and five High-grade Immortal Artifacts!
The second place can receive eight nine-grade immortal pills, eight rare refining materials, and eight rare medicinal materials for pill refinement!
Plus, two Spirit Level Artifacts, four High-grade Immortal Weapons, and four High-grade Immortal Artifacts!
The third place can receive six nine-grade immortal pills, six rare refining materials, and six rare medicinal materials for pill refinement!
Along with one Spirit Level Artifact, three High-grade Immortal Weapons, and three High-grade Immortal Artifacts!"
While Emmitt Turner was speaking.
Hawk Trevino, the national guardian elder of the Jordan Immortal Country, waved his sleeve.
Witnessing this, three ancient and elegant wooden boxes flew out from his sleeve, enlarging by several meters.
As the wooden boxes opened, dazzling Immortal Light emanated from within.
Everyone present turned to look at the boxes.
The boxes contained various elixirs, weapons, magical artifacts, and Heavenly Treasures.
Emmitt Turner smiled and said, "These three boxes hold the prizes for the top three!"
The whole audience buzzed with excitement!
"My heavens, the prizes for the top three are incredibly generous, including elixirs, weapons, magical artifacts, and Heavenly Treasures!"
"Moreover, each of the top three can get a Spirit Level Artifact!"
"Worthy indeed of being the top Immortal Country in the Profound State, their generosity is astounding!"
"However, with over thirty thousand participants, securing a spot in the top three is incredibly difficult!"
Everyone was intensely focused on the three wooden boxes, their eyes shining.
However, upon realizing only the top three could get these prizes, everyone sighed and shook their heads.
Wilson Weisz looked at the middle wooden box and exclaimed, "Brother Yeager, the Earth Mysterious Stone is included as part of the first prize!
This means you must win first place to acquire the Earth Mysterious Stone!"
Ethan Louise sighed and said, "Standing out among more than thirty thousand contestants and securing first place is as hard as ascending to heaven!
Brother Yeager, it seems we need to think of another approach!"
Bardon Bard said with dissatisfaction, "Elder Warren, Mr. Louise, what do you mean by this? Are you underestimating my Brother Yeager?
The competition hasn’t even started yet, and you already think my Brother Yeager can’t win first place?"
Wilson Weisz replied helplessly, "Brother Bardon, it’s not that we’re underestimating Brother Yeager; it’s just that breaking through among more than thirty thousand participants is truly too difficult!"
Ethan Louise nodded, feeling it was unrealistic for Lionel Yeager to win first place.
Lionel Yeager calmly said, "Do what we can and leave the rest to fate. If we achieve first place, that would naturally be best.
If not, we’ll think of other ways."
Wilson Weisz and others nodded.
At this moment.
Hawk Trevino collected the three wooden boxes.
Emmitt Turner continued, "Everyone, besides the rich prizes for the top three, the prizes for fourth to tenth places are also quite rewarding! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Although slightly less than the top three, they’re still quite good!"
Hawk Trevino waved his hand again.
Seven more wooden boxes flew out from his sleeve, expanding by several meters.
When those boxes opened, they also contained elixirs, weapons, magical artifacts, and Heavenly Treasures.
Seeing the prizes inside those seven boxes, everyone was overjoyed.
"Haha, even if we can’t make it into the top three, getting a spot between fourth and tenth is still pretty good!"
"I’ll need to showcase my skills in this competition and aim for the top ten!"
Many people were rubbing their hands together, full of fighting spirit.
After Hawk Trevino put away the seven wooden boxes,
Once all the participating forging masters were in place.
Emmitt Turner proclaimed loudly, "Let the competition begin now!"
As soon as the words landed!
The Refining Equipment Competition officially commenced!
The forging masters on the ten mountains began refining weapons and magical artifacts as directed by their respective group leaders.
Their methods varied widely; some commenced refining with a cauldron, some wielded heavy hammers to forge Immortal Gold Divine Iron, and others commanded their internal energy to refine out of thin air.
Clang, clang, clang!...
Boom, Boom, Boom!...
Sounds of metal clashing and energy reverberations echoed from the ten mountains.
Various lights and energies flickered and surged on the ten mountains, gloriously brilliant.
The people on the surrounding mountains watched with keen interest, many cheering for their sect members and friends.
Lionel Yeager glanced around, finding this type of competition interesting as it was his first time participating.
He smiled and began his refining process.
Bardon Bard and others flew into the sky to observe.
After observing for a while.
Bardon Bard pouted and said, "Ha, it seems most are just here to make up the numbers; their refining skills are subpar!"
Robert Hyatt agreed, "With such refining skills, they can’t compare to my Brother Yeager!"
Boris Moore pointed at a part of the participants and said, "Some of those forging masters’ skills are quite high!"
Wilson Weisz replied, "Those are the representatives of the four small regions’ Four Major Top-tier Refining Sects and Four Major First-class Refining Sects!"
"Let’s hope Brother Yeager can break into the top ten and seize the first place!"
"Well, let’s wait and see!"
Ethan Louise, Roger Weil, and others expressed, hoping Lionel Yeager could achieve a good ranking.
