Now, the position and power of the Alliance Leader at the Artifact Refining Alliance Headquarters had fallen into the hands of another, none other than the former Vice Alliance Leader, Leng Yun…
He was also the Martial Uncle of the three from Zi Yunshan, and Leng Yun and Hai Xiaoyao were disciples of the same Master!
The two of them grew up together with their Master, cultivating and practicing artifact refinement together, forming an extraordinarily close bond…
Hai Xiaoyao possessed somewhat better talent, excelling slightly over Leng Yun in both cultivation and artifact refining.
Normally, this was not an issue, and Leng Yun only occasionally felt a sense of loss, which did not affect their relationship…
Later, following their Master’s orders, they set out into the world to gain experience, going their separate ways instead of traveling together…
Upon entering the mortal world, Leng Yun immediately encountered a great opportunity when he saved an old man who was under attack by a Demon Beast and on the verge of death!
To his astonishment, the old man was, in fact, an Elder from an Artifact Alliance city…
After learning that Leng Yun was also an artifact refiner, the Elder invited him to the city’s Artifact Alliance, suggesting that Leng Yun first take the assessment for the Artifact Refiner Badge, as it would be beneficial for his future…
While Leng Yun had never taken part in the Artifact Refiner Assessment, he was aware of the levels of Artifact Refiner Badges, so he successfully obtained his badge.
Just like Mo Jiuli, the weapon he refined during the assessment was impressively exquisite, leading to his immediate appointment as a Minister Elder in that city’s Artifact Alliance…
Leng Yun spent 100 years in that city, just in time for the once-per-century Artifact Refiners’ Grand Assembly hosted by Lianqi City, so he traveled alone to Lianqi City to participate in the Grand Assembly…
At the Grand Assembly, Leng Yun secured the first place and was directly invited by the Artifact Refining Alliance Headquarters based in Artifact City, becoming an External Affairs Elder of the Headquarters.
By then, Leng Yun was merely 300 years old, quite youthful in this context…
After that, Leng Yun stayed in Artifact City, working his way up from an External Affairs Elder to an Internal Affairs Elder through persistent efforts.
He dedicated himself to refining artifacts and strengthening his own capabilities, taking countless disciples under his name…
Personal Disciples are not something any artifact refiner would take lightly.
After all, in this world, as long as one cultivates, their appearance remains unchanged, and the stronger one is, the longer their lifespan…
Thus, many choose to take a Personal Disciple only when they reach a few thousand years old and find themselves seeking something new…
Time flows like water, and 500 years passed by during which Leng Yun took three closed-door disciples, with countless more disciples in name only!
That year coincided with the Artifact Refining Alliance Headquarters’ Alliance Leader and Vice Alliance Leader both achieving breakthroughs in their power, preparing to leave the Haotian Continent.
Leng Yun had always maintained an extremely good relationship with the then Vice Alliance Leader, as close as family…
In the end, the Vice Alliance Leader suggested promoting Leng Yun to the position of Alliance Leader at the Artifact Refining Alliance Headquarters, with another of his disciples to become the new Vice Alliance Leader…
As the then Alliance Leader of the Artifact Refining Alliance Headquarters had no children or disciples, both Leng Yun and the Vice Alliance Leader thought it was within their grasp…
Even the then Alliance Leader initially did not refuse and seemed to give tacit approval…
However, just as Leng Yun and the others were quietly preparing to take over everything, the Alliance Leader who was about to leave Haotian decided to have a look around before departing.
Half a month later, he returned with seven people…
Upon returning, at a long-prepared ceremony by the Artifact Refining Alliance, he, contrary to everyone’s expectations, directly conferred the position of Alliance Leader on his only Personal Disciple, whom he had just accepted, Hai Xiaoyao…
