What brings you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Xiong, this is the Spiritual Artifact I refined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Fang Yun, now standing before Xiong Xingfeng, took out the Profound Crystal Shield and presented it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew I wasn’t wrong about you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile finally broke across Xiong Xingfeng’s stoic face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun had succeeded far sooner than he had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had estimated that Fang Yun might be able to refine a Spiritual Artifact by June. If his luck was poor and he failed his first attempt, his second try would likely be around September.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the two outcomes Xiong Xingfeng had considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Fang Yun had used up two sets of Spiritual Materials and still couldn’t produce a Spiritual Artifact, then he would have to admit he had completely misjudged the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Xingfeng inspected the Profound Crystal Shield. This Lower-Grade Spiritual Artifact was decently made—better, in fact, than the first one he himself had ever refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he wasn’t about to tell Fang Yun that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his inspection, he also noticed that the Lower-Grade Spiritual Artifact had already been bound to an owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed only natural to Xiong Xingfeng. When he had finished refining his own first Spiritual Artifact, he had been so excited that he’d bound it to himself immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Artifact Refiner’s first creation should be for their own use, not sold off for Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The combination of Spirit Patterns is a bit simple, and the fusion of some materials isn’t perfect, but it is a Lower-Grade Spiritual Artifact nonetheless.\" Xiong Xingfeng gave his brief assessment as he handed the Profound Crystal Shield back to Fang Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he announced formally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fang Yun, you have passed my test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Fang Yun immediately understood what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately put away the Profound Crystal Shield and prepared to perform the formal bow of a disciple to a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\" Xiong Xingfeng used his Spiritual Power to lift Fang Yun before he could bow. \"Now is not the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun could only swallow the words he was about to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun looked at Xiong Xingfeng, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Xingfeng quickly explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... this is your first time taking a master, after all. How could we not make it a grand occasion? Let’s hold the formal ceremony next month. I’ll make the proper arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Xingfeng’s words sounded a little strange to Fang Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What does he mean, *my* first time taking a master?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You couldn’t just take multiple masters. According to the rules of the Cultivation Realm, a person could not have two formal masters simultaneously. Before accepting a second master, the first one had to have passed on and be no longer in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, thinking about Xiong Xingfeng’s personality, Fang Yun quickly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is *his* first time accepting a disciple. *He’s* the one who wants a grand ceremony.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Fang Yun didn’t really care. If this was what Xiong Xingfeng wanted, he would go along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master.\" Fang Yun switched his form of address without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Fang Yun call him \"Master\" felt immensely satisfying to Xiong Xingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me about your first experience refining a Spiritual Artifact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun quickly recounted the process of refining the Spiritual Artifact, discussing many of the details with Xiong Xingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Xingfeng pointed out several issues in Fang Yun’s process. Correcting these would make refining Spiritual Artifacts much easier in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Xingfeng was smiling throughout the entire conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Xingfeng’s only regret was that Bai Heyan wasn’t in his cave residence at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Bai Heyan had been there to hear Fang Yun call him \"Master\" and witness his expert guidance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...his mood would have been even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I have a rather impudent request,\" Fang Yun said after Xiong Xingfeng finished his pointers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You once said, Master, that if my first attempt at refining a Spiritual Artifact failed, I could ask you for a set of Spiritual Materials. Could we perhaps consider my first attempt to have been a failure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was, indeed, an impudent request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun wanted to refine another Spiritual Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. It’s a small matter.\" Xiong Xingfeng agreed without hesitation. \"What Spiritual Materials do you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten pounds of essence refined from Lower-Grade Earth Yellow Stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something Fang Yun had planned for a while. The resulting Spiritual Artifact would be an upgraded version of his Yellow Iron Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Essence of Lower-Grade Earth Yellow Stone... I only have three pounds on hand right now. I’ll gather the rest for you within a month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Master,\" Fang Yun said gratefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his master Xiong Xingfeng’s guarantee, he would be able to start refining his second Spiritual Artifact next month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Late March.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Nightfall.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun was refining and absorbing an Upper-Grade Qi Enhancement Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he had completely refined and absorbed the pill, it was already the beginning of April.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he opened his eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun immediately summoned his interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detailed Study · Artifact Refining, Talent Points +146.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guidance · Artifact Refining, Talent Points +58.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refined Lower-Grade Spiritual Artifact: Profound Crystal Shield x1, Talent Points +1562.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sect Influence: 30%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regional Influence: [Not Unlocked]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent Point Bonus: 210%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Total: Talent Points +11,033.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more profound the knowledge he learned, the more Talent Points he could obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the \"Study\" category, Fang Yun had earned over a hundred Talent Points from Artifact Refining for two consecutive months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Guidance\" category only awarded Talent Points when he truly learned something, and he had clearly grasped a great deal from Xiong Xingfeng’s instruction on refining Spiritual Artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Talent Points I get from refining a Lower-Grade Spiritual Artifact are so much higher than what I got for an Upper-Grade Magical Artifact...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun remembered that the first time he refined an Upper-Grade Magical Artifact, he had only received around one hundred and sixty Talent Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his skill in refining Upper-Grade Magical Artifacts improved, the corresponding Talent Points also increased, now netting him over two hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...at the initial stage of refining each, the difference in Talent Points is about tenfold.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was earning slightly more Talent Points from Artifact Refining than from Alchemy, and his Alchemy gains were mainly propped up by refining Upper-Grade Qi Enhancement Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the final tally of Talent Points, Fang Yun felt a deep sense of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Talent Point earnings had once again broken the ten-thousand mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that his Sect Influence had reached 30%, every settlement of Talent Points was more than triple the original amount.

Surely I’ll get at least two more Shield Talent fragments.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Fang Yun stared at the Talent Points on his interface and quickly navigated to the Combat Talent screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the eleven draws for Combat Talents began.
