Ahem... I made this casually, but it shouldn't have much to do with artifact refinement talent, right? This thing is quite simple.
Quite simple?
Lin Shuangyue felt a mix of anger and amusement; even the outstanding geniuses of the Ancient Artifact Sect took years to understand the principles of the core lens.
What does that say about the geniuses of the Ancient Artifact Sect?
"Come on, let me test your talent. Take this device apart and then reassemble it."
Well, let's give it a try.
Lin Qiubai took the metal combination that resembled a Rubik's Cube. For some reason, strange patterns appeared in his mind, similar to the odd sensation he felt while polishing the lens earlier. With a flash of inspiration, he disassembled and reassembled the combination in just ten breaths.
Stunned.
Lin Chuxue covered her red lips with her small hand and gasped.
Artifact Refinement, a testing device developed by Ancient Power to measure Trial artifact talent. Disassembling and reassembling it requires an extraordinary level of talent from the tester.
If you lack artifact refinement talent, you would struggle for a lifetime to disassemble and reassemble it.
The faster the disassembly and reassembly, the more astonishing the tester's talent is deemed to be.
Lin Chuxue had started trying to solve Artifact Refinement since childhood; her first attempt at disassembly and reassembly was at nine years old, taking a full six hours at that time.
After continuous training, her time gradually decreased. Now she could complete it in less than a minute.
Thus, Lin Chuxue had always been praised by her aunt for her exceptional artifact refinement talent, comparable to the top geniuses of the younger generation in the Ancient Artifact Sect.
But she never expected that her proud talent would seem so laughable in front of Lin Qiubai.
"Is it even possible to live like this?"
Lin Chuxue's face turned crimson, feeling quite disheartened. If she, Lin Chuxue, was a genius, then Lin Qiubai was a prodigy born specifically for artifact refinement.
"Have you ever been involved in Artifact Refinement before?"
Lin Shuangyue rubbed her eyes, truly unable to believe that someone could complete the disassembly and reassembly of an artifact in such a short time. According to ancient texts, only the legendary Supreme Heavenly Dao had such capabilities.
"No."
Lin Qiubai shook his head.
"Then do it again for me to see."
So Lin Qiubai innocently moved his fingers, and the eight-sided artifact made of special metal quickly transformed into numerous parts, which were then swiftly reassembled. His technique was dazzling.
"Lin Qiubai is indeed a genius, truly deserving of the title..."
"It takes a hundred years to find a good husband, but a thousand years to marry Lin Qiubai... I wonder what it would be like to marry him, sob sob sob."
Many infatuated young girls nearby gazed at Lin Qiubai with burning eyes. They had all heard Lin Chuxue's praises—talk of artifact Supreme Heavenly Dao and sect leaders made it easy to deduce that Lin Qiubai's talent in artifact refinement was terrifyingly impressive.
"I believe it now; you really have exceptional talent for artifact refinement. A true dragon has emerged from Dragon City! Come on, I'll take you to meet the dean. We're just in time to pick up First Snow from the Ancient Artifact Sect; why don't you come along with me? At the Ancient Artifact Sect, you'll receive the best training, and in the future, you'll become the most renowned Master Smith in Beiliang Prefecture or even in the Xiansheng Dynasty."
Lin Shuangyue tempted him.
She believed that anyone else hearing such words would have been excitedly jumping for joy. A mid-tier sect! How many people dream of entering a mid-tier sect!
However, unexpectedly, Lin Qiubai showed a troubled expression.
"Cough, cough... Sorry, my heart is not in forging. I only want to focus on cultivation and travel through the Vast World, enjoying the thrill of vengeance and justice."
Lin Qiubai did not like forging.
Standing by the furnace every day, with flames roasting his face like a monkey's backside, constantly adding various metal materials and repeatedly refining steel and quenching it—he was not interested in that.
"You are the Supreme Heavenly Dao of forging! Do you know that focusing solely on cultivation is just wasting time?
If you become a King-level Master Smith, even powerful beings from the Creation Realm will have to lower their voices to seek your help, and members of the royal family will have to show you respect.
At that time, whatever cultivation resources you want will be at your disposal."
It was an enticing future.
But in Lin Qiubai's view, alchemy was ultimately a sideline. Without enough strength, he would still be at the mercy of others. Therefore, he wanted to cultivate his way to the Creation Realm or even the Nirvana Realm; only with strong power could he determine everything.
"I still insist on following the path of cultivation."
Lin Qiubai's response nearly made Lin Shuangyue explode with anger.
"Come on, follow me to see the dean!"
Lin Shuangyue's face turned red with anger, and she was too frustrated to persuade him further. She decided to directly ask the dean for help. At that point, she could order the guards to forcibly carry Lin Qiubai back to the Ancient Artifact Sect, making it a done deal, or perhaps even arrange for First Snow to be betrothed to him...
Thus, Lin Qiubai was once again dragged along to the master’s residence.
“Are you saying that Lin Qiubai is a Supreme Heavenly Dao in artifact forging, and will surely become one of the top Master Smiths in Beiliang Prefecture in the future?”
The dean looked at Lin Qiubai in disbelief. This kid had just been tested to have a royal-grade Dao body; how could he suddenly possess the talent for Supreme Heavenly Dao in artifact forging?
Sometimes, too many surprises can turn into shock.
The dean was still immersed in the joy of discovering the royal-grade Dao body when he heard that Lin Qiubai also had the Supreme Heavenly Dao in artifact forging. He almost fainted from not being able to catch his breath.
“Alright, Lin Qiubai, well done! With a royal-grade Dao body and the Supreme Heavenly Dao in artifact forging, you are truly exceptional!”
“A royal-grade Dao body? What are you saying? He still has a royal-grade Dao body?”
Now it was Lin Shuangyue's turn to be so astonished that she couldn't close her mouth.
The more powerful individuals one encounters, the broader their perspective becomes, and the more they understand what a royal-grade Dao body signifies.
A royal-grade Dao body is considered monstrous; each one gathers great Fortune and will become a brilliant star of an era.
A person with a royal-grade Dao body can at least rise to the status of a Duke in the Sacred Dynasty.
Even those with denser Fortune may step out of the Sacred Dynasty and venture into the vast and complex Vast World.
With thoughts swirling in her mind, Lin Shuangyue looked at Lin Qiubai with even more fervent eyes.
If she could bring Lin Qiubai back to the sect, perhaps... Ancient Artifact Sect could regain its status as a top-tier sect!
“This student, I must have him for Ancient Artifact Sect!”
Lin Shuangyue had a serious expression.
"In the next ten years, my Ancient Artifact Sect will provide a substantial amount of resources for the White Room Academy. You, as the Dean, will also receive cultivation resources to reach the peak of the Yuan Dan Realm to Creation Realm. Furthermore, arrangements will be made for you to become the leader of a lower-tier sect, allowing you to achieve greater accomplishments."
In this world, positions such as academy elders, guardians, deans, sect elders, sect officials, and sect leaders are all public offices, with rewards and punishments administered by the royal family based on merit or mistakes.
Without a background, it would be nearly impossible to rise from a mere academy dean to the leader of a lower-tier sect; one would likely spend a lifetime trying.
But now, all that was needed was to agree to Lin Shuangyue's request—just hand over Lin Qiubai to the Ancient Artifact Sect!
The generous benefits made the dean breathe heavily.
"Lin Qiubai, do you wish to go to the Ancient Artifact Sect?"
Although his eyes revealed desire, the dean still asked in a deep voice. The greater Lin Qiubai's potential, the more he needed to cherish him. Such a significant decision that could shape his entire life was not something he could meddle in. If anyone were to intervene, it should be Ancient Artifact Sect, taking on the role of the villain.
"He is willing."
Lin Shuangyue immediately interjected. A talent like this had no choice but to agree.
"You cannot take him away; even if the leader of Ancient Artifact Sect comes, they have no right to take him."
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out. Upon closer inspection of the newcomer, even someone as formidable as Lin Shuangyue had a serious expression on her delicate face.
