Chapter 1186: Alliance Established

Ye Liuyun understood in his heart that Emperor Xia was trying to win him over, but he was still very grateful.

He warmly entertained the Fourth Prince and also had the Fourth Prince convey his thanks to Emperor Xia.

Ye Liuyun also met Feng Renxin again.

"Old Feng!" Ye Liuyun proactively greeted him.

"So it's Prince Ye, no wonder you can pick up treasures! We really are fated!" After the introduction, Feng Renxin learned Ye Liuyun's identity.

The two exchanged a smile.

Ye Liuyun places relatively high value on Feng Renxin's character.

The Feng Clan Grand Elder also reminded Ye Liuyun that Feng Renxin's character is good and could be considered for Vice Alliance Leader.

As the biggest investor, the Alliance Leader position naturally belongs to him.

As for the Vice Alliance Leader candidate, Ye Liuyun is not in a hurry.

He will not constantly manage Alliance affairs, so the Vice Alliance Leader's temperament and character will affect the Alliance's direction and development.

Therefore, he must be cautious about this position.

The next stage is that each master presents their forged treasures and pills for comparison.

Among the masters, the evaluation concerns technique, while Ye Liuyun observes their temperament and character.

Ye Xiaotian, Feng Yunfei, Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and others also observe, assisting Ye Liuyun in selecting Vice Alliance Leader candidates.

Among these masters, some are stubborn, each refusing to submit to the other, and they even hold on‑site contests.

This opened the eyes of many pill and artifact enthusiasts. Seeing masters refine pills and forge artifacts on site is very rare, and they can also learn a lot.

Thus the Alliance conference opened very smoothly.

The masters' evaluation process was originally planned for three days.

On the first day, some top masters displayed finished works. The next two days, slightly less skilled individuals also displayed, with top masters providing commentary.

That night, aside from the masters currently contesting, everyone else temporarily returned to rest. Refining pills and artifacts cannot be done instantly.

Of course there were Martial Cultivators who stayed up all night continuing to observe the masters' techniques, fearing they missed any details.

Ye Liuyun and others returned to Chengzhu Fu, gathering everyone's opinions on Vice Alliance Leader candidates.

They did not directly select a Vice Alliance Leader, but instead focused on picking several groups of people as candidates for Vice Alliance Leader and Elder, awaiting further observation tomorrow.

Over the next two days, they continuously narrowed the pool, also selecting some Stewards among the less skilled.

Until the final day, after a night of discussion, before dawn they finally finalized the selections.

Then came the day the Alliance was formally established.

To Ye Liuyun's left is Feng Renxin, the Alchemist, serving as Vice Alliance Leader of the Alchemist Alliance; to his right is a man named Zheng Yuancheng, an Artifact Refining Master, serving as Vice Alliance Leader of the Artifact Refining Alliance.

Both are highly respected; choosing them drew little objection from others.

Then, in order, were the Elders and Stewards they selected.

Of course, masters not selected would be given an honorary Elder title, counting as Alliance members. This avoids offending anyone and binds them to the Alliance.

Then, based on the evaluations, they graded the Alchemists and sequentially awarded the Alchemist Alliance member insignia.

The rewards previously promised to everyone were all fulfilled one by one.

That day, just the prizes Ye Liuyun distributed already drove many people crazy.

A Martial Cultivator under Chen Song, watching the glorious Ye Liuyun, couldn't help exclaiming, "When can I follow a boss like this!"

If he said such a brainless remark normally, he'd certainly get a beating from Chen Song.

But now, hearing it, Chen Song felt a stir and fell into thought.

His subordinate was right; following such a boss has prospects.

However, these people lack ability and talent; why would Ye Liuyun favor them?

Even he himself thinks there's no chance Ye Liuyun would favor them.

Suddenly he recalled that people like him who migrated from the Southern Region were mostly settled by the Great Xia Dynasty in certain fixed zones.

If these people could be united, Ye Liuyun would certainly welcome it.

He had heard that Ye Liuyun once recruited a band of bandits. Now that band of bandits has been made a king, becoming a dynasty‑recognized army, and even does business with the dynasty.

Thinking of this, his heart stirred.

However, to rally Southern Region immigrants, he still needs some funds; relying solely on his own power is not very appealing.

He shared his idea with two other subordinates.

Those two were stunned.

"Boss, you mean you want to fool Ye Liuyun just with words?" a Martial Cultivator asked bewildered.

"Bang!"

Chen Song slapped that subordinate.

"What trick? I really want to make this happen!"

"But why would Ye Liuyun trust you?" the subordinate muttered, covering his face.

"I'll go sign a Divine Soul Contract with him!" Chen Song seemed determined to try.

"Boss, calm down first!" another subordinate advised, "In my view, even if we give our lives to them, they might still not value us!"

Chen Song was momentarily stunned, then his gaze hardened.

"No, I still have to try. This is a chance to change our fate!" Chen Song said firmly again.

The subordinate, seeing this, could only say, "Testing is possible, but you must first figure out what to do next, how much funding is needed; otherwise you'll be clueless when you talk to him."

Chen Song nodded, "We need to think these issues through, not just show loyalty!"

Afterwards, he immediately took the two subordinates out of the hall, returning to his residence to discuss details.

Though his two subordinates thought he was being reckless, since he's the boss they had to help him brainstorm and cope.

After the alliance was formed, the people of the Pill Alliance and the Tool Alliance also immediately separated, went to their respective Dao xu, and began preparing for the next round of selection of ordinary members.

Brave-Fierce Island also only had a few people interested in tool forging remain; the number of people was suddenly halved.

Eagle-Beak Island, however, became lively, as a large number of pill-refining personnel gathered there.

Ye Liuyun also relied on the Teleportation Array to run back and forth, busy handling various matters, and rarely appeared in public anymore.

The alliance had just been formed; as the alliance leader, he no longer wanted to deal with these mundane affairs, but he still had to participate in the discussions on establishing the alliance's system and rules.
