Chapter Thirty That person was called Kong Fang

  Kong Fang found a small tree with red bark and leaned against it quietly waiting for the evaluation meeting to begin.

  The people around, whether they were novice disciples or miscellaneous workers, were all enthusiastically chatting with each other.

  Kong Fang was listening to the conversations of the crowd at will, passing the time in boredom. But when the people around him started discussing who would become an inner disciple, Kong Fang's spirit suddenly stirred and he listened carefully.

  Among the people who can become inner disciples this time, the one with the highest reputation is said to be Senior Brother He Hongyu. It's said that Senior Brother He Hongyu has refined a third-grade armor. The difficulty of refining an armor is originally higher than that of a weapon, and Senior Brother He Hongyu's ability to refine a third-grade armor is really terrifyingly strong. I think if Senior Brother He Hongyu joins Huoyun Hall, he might be able to refine a low-grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure within two years. The speaker's face was full of admiration and reverence, obviously very supportive of He Hongyu.

  Someone next to him, who revered Sun Hao even more, immediately retorted: "You think anyone can be like Senior Brother Sun Hao? He joined Huoyun Hall for only two years and already refined a low-grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure! Hmph, there are so many disciples in other halls, but none of them have refined a Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure within two years. Even within Huoyun Hall, Senior Brother Sun Hao is the most formidable. He Hongyu may be okay, but he's still far from being comparable to Senior Brother Sun Hao."

  "I think you guys shouldn't argue, even if you keep arguing, you won't be able to become someone's follower anyway, why waste your energy. Why don't we talk about who can become an inner disciple this time instead? I'm quite curious about that. And who knows, maybe with good luck, we might even meet one, and maybe even become their follower! As long as I can become a follower, I'll be satisfied, hehe." The other person said, then smiled foolishly.

  "Hmph, you? Haha haha haha." The crowd around them burst into laughter.

  Nearly a thousand apprentices, but only thirty can become inner disciples. This is equivalent to only three people out of a hundred being able to become inner disciples. If that were the case, they might still be able to find apprentices who are about to enter the inner sect. But don't forget, those who want to try their luck and become followers are not just limited to apprentices, but also include an even more terrifying number of miscellaneous servants.

  Thousands of people gathered here, hoping to find a future inner disciple among so many people by luck. The probability is low, as you can imagine. Moreover, even if they found one, no one would be willing to recruit a follower casually without knowing the root and character.

  However, many people do this kind of thing every time, and the more people who do it, the more likely someone will succeed. Therefore, although they know that the possibility of becoming an inner disciple is not great, there are still many people who are unwilling to give up, so the number of people participating in each evaluation conference is extremely large.

  "What's wrong with me, every time there's an evaluation meeting, there are always lucky people who become inner disciples, why can't I?" The ridiculed new disciple immediately stiffened his neck, turned red in the face and loudly retorted.

  Hearing his words, others laughed even louder.

  "Square head, with your honest and simple appearance, which inner disciple would look up to you?" someone laughed and said.

  "You... humph." Fang Tou walked away with a sullen face, not intending to speak to these people who were mocking him again. However, he happened to walk over to where Kong Fang was leaning against a tree.

  Looking at this somewhat silly-looking new apprentice, a hint of a smile appeared on Kong Fang's mouth.

  When Fang saw Kong's tattered clothes, he immediately forgot his earlier displeasure and asked with some curiosity: "Are you also here to try your luck?"

  Kong Fang smiled and nodded slightly.

  "You should go out and about more often, always staying in one place won't let you meet those who will become inner disciples." Fang Tou immediately kindly helped Kong Fang to invite him over.

  "Look at me like this, who can take a liking to me?" Kong Fang pointed to his own tattered clothes and laughed: "It's you instead, why don't you go out and try your luck?"

  "Ah!" Fang Tou rubbed his head, looking a bit embarrassed: "I'm too stupid, no one will be interested in me, so I won't waste my time." Fang Tou smiled foolishly.

  Kong Fang and Fang Tou chatted idly, while the people around them were still enthusiastically discussing who could become an inner disciple.

  "In fact, the most popular ones are not He Hongyu Shixiong, but Zhao Yong Shixiong and Sun Yun Shi Jie. Although they didn't refine armor, it's said that their refined weapons have reached second-grade, which is a whole grade higher than He Hongyu Shixiong's third-grade armor."

  "Hiss", the surrounding area suddenly echoed with a burst of cold gasps, although the armor was difficult to refine, but the second-grade weapon was even more difficult to refine than the third-grade armor, which was a whole grade higher. It is known that the higher the grade, the harder it is to upgrade another grade.

  Kong Fang's eyes flashed with cold light upon hearing this.

  "Zhao Yong can refine a second-grade weapon, it must be because he used that precious Qingming Stone." Kong Fang sneered in his heart.

  At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "What you are talking about is outdated. I'll tell you, I just heard from a familiar servant at Huoyun Hall yesterday that a very powerful person appeared in this assessment."

  "How much more formidable can it be? Can it surpass even Zhao Yong and Sun Yun? Humph, I don't believe anyone can surpass them. Are you just bragging?"

  "This kid loves to brag." The others jeered and burst out laughing.

  "You guys don't believe me, but what I found out this time is true." The person who spoke earlier seemed extremely confident.

  Others looked at him like this and couldn't help but have some doubts.

  "So you'd better tell me what's so great about it."

  "Hey." The man smiled complacently before speaking to the people around him in a mysterious tone, "I heard that when evaluating weapons and armor at the Congress Hall, Elder Qingfan wanted to test the eyesight of several inner disciples. So he had them find high-quality weapons and armor. What happened next is absolutely unthinkable. That incredibly talented person's crafted weapon was said to have stumped even the inner disciples. In the end, one of the inner disciples was so angry that they vomited blood."

  "It's actually able to hold back the inner sect disciples!" The surrounding area suddenly erupted in a chorus of surprised voices, "Inner sect disciples are capable of refining quasi-spiritual treasures, yet they're being held back by a weapon refined by an entry-level disciple? Is this for real?" Everyone was shocked by this news.

  But soon someone questioned, "Even if you can trap the inner disciples, it's not enough to make them spit blood. They are people who have cultivated their bodies through the practice of Taoism and have strong physiques that we can't imagine. Look at you again, telling lies and not even making up a good lie."

  "Hmph, you'd better believe me. I've asked several servants afterwards and they all admitted that it happened. It's just that some of them were hesitant and didn't dare tell me which inner courtyard disciple was driven to coughing up blood."

  "It sounds similar, but you tell us who is the one that can refine a weapon that even his own younger cousin cannot defeat. If you can say out his name, we will believe you." Someone shouted from the crowd.

  Kong Fang and Fang Tou were also on one side, listening with relish, as if they were listening to a story. At this time, someone asked the name of that very powerful person, and the two curious gazes suddenly fell on the person who was revealing the information.

  "Heh heh, I knew you'd ask, so I was prepared. Let me tell you, that person's name, Qing Fang Zhang Lao had indeed mentioned it before, his name is... Kong Fang." The speaker looked very pleased with himself.

  Kong Fangdou leaned against the tree, his legs suddenly went soft and almost fell to the ground. He was originally listening to a story, how did he suddenly run into the story?
