Chapter 2349: Sequential Appraisals

“May I ask, Elder, how was this fifty calculated?”

Dadun saw this kind of Measurement Stone for the first time.

There is no such thing in the Blood God Plane.

Upon hearing Dadun’s inquiry, Feng Rui revealed a faint smile: “How should I address this Immortal Craftsman?”

“My young master is named Dadun.”

Sedno glanced at Feng Rui and then said.

“Oh, you are still an esteemed person. Hello, esteemed one. You may not know this in the Abyss Sea; it’s called a Measurement Stone. It calculates the weight upon impact and is typically used by Body Cultivators to measure their fist weight and weapon impact weight.”

“This Measurement Stone is used to calculate the weight upon weapon impact in ten-thousands. Previously, when Sedno’s Ancestor Warhammer Puppet hit, it measured fifty ten-thousands.”

Feng Rui smiled slightly and then said.

“Oh, so that’s how it is. Please continue.”

Dadun nodded. With his insight, he could naturally tell that the Blood Ancestor War Hammer, when used by an ordinary person, would yield fifty ten-thousands of weight.

“Because the Ancestor Warhammer lacks special methods to enhance its attack weight, and it is a two-handed weapon, its score would be halved.”

“After evaluation, Sedno’s Light Heart Stone Immortal Artifact met the standard for content and weight. In the end, Sedno’s score was twenty-five.”

Feng Rui announced all the data and then smiled and said.

Hearing that Sedno’s Immortal Artifact scored only twenty-five, many people’s expressions turned somewhat grim.

A youth at the forging platform next to Sedno snorted after Feng Rui’s assessment: “Elder Feng Rui, take a look at mine. My creation is far superior to those sea cats from the Abyss Sea.”

Sedno wanted to react but was held down by Carl.

Feng Rui smiled brightly and approached the youth: “This is the Light Heart Stone Immortal Artifact you crafted, correct?”

The youth had a long-handled single-handed greatsword on his forging platform.

This type of weapon is rare among long-handled single-handed weapons with considerable weight.

Feng Rui directly handed the weapon to the Puppet, which held the greatsword and struck the Measurement Stone, resulting in forty.

“Single-handed weapon, forty points, total score forty points. Now conducting content and weight measurement.”

Upon the greatsword touching the measuring device, Feng Rui’s face became somewhat grim.

The young Forging Master was very proud, yet Carl standing behind him snorted coldly.

“Deep Abyss Sea’s sea cat, what are you huffing about? Look here, my single-handed sword outshines your so-called Ancestor’s Hammer.”

The youth disdainfully glanced at Sedno behind Carl.

Sedno wanted to act but was pulled back by Carl: “Oh, is that so? Let’s wait and see.”

“Alright, the measurement results are out.”

Feng Rui stared at the results and approached the youth.

The youth nodded, smiling at Feng Rui: “Announce it, tell them how strong I am. Deep Abyss Sea’s sea cats, remember my name; I am Shefu, the genius Immortal Craftsman of Ironthorn City.”

“Immortal Craftsman Shefu, are you done speaking? Now I’ll announce the results. After our evaluation, your Light Heart Stone greatsword meets our weight requirement. However, regarding content, it does not meet our standards.”

Feng Rui stood in place and spoke slowly.

“Does not meet the standards, where does it not meet the standards?”

Shefu was previously very proud, but upon hearing the words ‘does not meet standards,’ his brows furrowed.

Keep in mind, during the artifact refining, there were clear requirements.

If those requirements do not meet the Feng Family standards, it equates to zero points, disqualifying the contest results.

Shefu is a prominent figure in Ironthorn City, and his soul age is not yet a hundred years. Achieving such feats is indeed something to boast about.

If the people of Ironthorn City found out that his crafted Immortal Artifact did not meet the Source Stone City contest requirements, it would surely be a disgrace.

“Yes, this Immortal Artifact was inspected by me.”

Sidenlo approached Shefu and took the Light Heart Stone greatsword from Feng Rui.

“Everyone look, the entirety of this greatsword is indeed crafted from Light Heart Stone, and due to the inscriptions and configuration with Flow Fire Stone, the quality is quite good. But see here.”

Sidenlo’s hand flashed red light and struck the tip of the Light Heart Stone greatsword.

A patch of black light suddenly appeared on the sword.

“If I’m not mistaken, this should be called thousand-pound stone, right?”

Carl’s voice was not loud, but it drew everyone’s gaze to Shefu.

Sidenlo smiled: “Ah, the Abyss Sea calls Hill Stone a thousand-pound stone. However, the effect must be the same. This stone’s weight is significant. So, in the refining of Light Heart Stone, the Feng Family doesn’t allow the use of Hill Stone.”

“Are you saying this Hill Stone is something Immortal Craftsman Shefu personally added?”

Tang Ming looked somewhat surprised at the Immortal Craftsman named Shefu.

Hill Stone is not cheap, and incorporating it into artifact refining has multiple uses.

Tang Ming did not expect that to win the contest, Shefu actually included Hill Stone, not only failing to win a place but also being exposed.

“According to our Feng Family’s knowledge, recently, in the Central Trading Hall, Immortal Craftsman Shefu took out a Hill Stone. Immortal Craftsman Shefu, do you have anything further to say? You are disqualified.”

Feng Rui smiled benignly at Shefu.

Shefu’s expression changed several times before he snorted and turned to leave the arena.

In the latter rows, those Light Heart Stone weapons were all unremarkable. Even if a few stood out, they weren’t surprising. Soon, the Immortal Artifacts reached the second row, and the first belonged to the Feng Family Head, Feng Shendao.

As the host of this Immortal Artifact contest and as the Feng Family Head, Feng Shendao laughed and cupped his fists to those around: “I am Feng Shendao, Feng Family Head. Over the years, I’ve been consumed by worldly affairs, and my Forging Skill has greatly declined. I humbly seek guidance from everyone.”

“Family Head Feng is too kind. The Feng Family is a family of Immortal Craftsmen renowned not only for their expertise in mining and refining, but especially for their artifact refining skills. I shall give my opinion of this Immortal Artifact.”

Barton Nake is well-acquainted with the Feng Family people, especially after the previous discussions about dealing with Blood God Plane affairs, drawing them closer.
