Chen Mobai spoke to Zhuo Ming, who had refined two Fifth Rank Artifacts, and the latter nodded repeatedly, standing up to solemnly thank Chen Mobai once again.
Facing his disciple, Chen Mobai accepted it with ease.
After finishing this task, Chen Mobai stayed at Huozhen Immortal City for a while longer.
Using the frawork of the 347th edition update of the Immortal Gate’s artifact guidelines and standards, he incorporated local artifact content from the Tianhe Realm to begin setting local norms and standards.
Actually, he had already established sect standards much earlier, but at that ti the types of artifacts used by the Five Elents Sect’s disciples weren’t many, so the work was relatively simple.
But now he needed to expand to the entire East Continent, aning that all sorts of bizarre-looking artifacts needed to be written in.
These niche types were quite troubleso.
Fortunately, this ti when he refined a Fifth Rank Artifact, it nearly attracted all the top Artifact Refiners from the East Continent to co by, and no matter how strange an artifact was, there would be a Cultivator in today’s Huozhen Immortal City who had refined it.
With the prestige of a Divinity Transformation cultivator, Chen Mobai publicly recruited talents and ideas, expressing his intention to establish standards for artifacts in the East Continent, naturally attracting ninety-nine percent of the Artifact Refiners.
However, considering the local closed-off inheritance, Chen Mobai didn’t think many people would offer their knowledge.
Initially, this was indeed the case; many Artifact Refiners, though tempted, acted cautiously and did not take action.
Only a few older ones, or those like the earnest Master Jingchi, who were very sincere about pursuing higher realms in Artifact Refining, responded to this initiative.
Chen Mobai personally interviewed the first batch of Artifact Refiners and even humbled himself to answer many of their questions regarding Artifact Refining.
The effect of buying a bone for a thousand gold quickly beca apparent.
The first batch of Artifact Refiners who gained great benefits from being with Chen Mobai went out and spread the word. Soon, Artifact Refiners at Huozhen Immortal City flocked in, hoping to exchange their knowledge for the opportunity to receive Chen Mobai’s guidance on Artifact Refining.
However, with more people, the content naturally started to beco mixed with good and bad.
Chen Mobai kept Chen Lingming and Yan Huo, who were competent, to help initially sift through the manuscripts, with him making the final decision afterward.
As the Palace Master of Yi Yuan Dao Palace, Xiao Yuli had to return to the East Land to manage the big picture.
Xiao Yuli regretted this a lot.
Because as she left, Chen Mobai asked her to convey the ssage for the other Fourth Rank Artifact Refiners of Yi Yuan Dao Palace to co and assist in gathering information and setting the East Continent standards.
Being a major sect in Artifact Refining, any Nascent Soul Cultivator in Yi Yuan Dao Palace was above Sheng Zhaoxi in skill.
Although they could not participate throughout the process of refining a Fifth Rank Artifact like Yan Huo, when Chen Mobai gave the order, Lian Shui and others still arrived as soon as possible.
Through everyone’s hard work, Chen Mobai soon upgraded the original "sect standards" to "continental standards."
Naturally during this process, he also invited Ye Qing to write articles on the understanding of sword-shaped artifacts, and after the continental standards were completed, Chen Mobai sent them to the other Three Great Sacred Lands at the first opportunity.
These Three Great Sacred Lands also had so capable individuals who found certain areas inappropriate and offered small suggestions for modifications.
As a man of Saintly Virtue, Chen Mobai naturally accepted all advice.
After several drafts, the first edition of "East Continent Artifact Norms and Standards" was officially printed. He moved an old piece of machinery from the Immortal Gate’s printing factory and printed enough books in a very short ti.
To quickly implent the standards throughout the East Continent, Chen Mobai distributed books to every power in the East Continent for free.
Anyway, as long as the standards were sent, if any sect’s cultivator didn’t follow these standards in the future, it would be seen as disrespecting the Five Elents Sect or even the Four Great Holy Lands of the East Continent.
Nor could they say they hadn’t seen it, because the books were delivered to their doors by disciples of the Five Elents Sect themselves. Not looking at them would be like dismissing the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.
And as long as the major powers and Cultivator Families of the East Continent adopted the continental standards, the rest like Loose Cultivators would naturally follow.
However, to accelerate this progress, Chen Mobai also trained a batch of Five Elents Sect Artifact Refiners well-versed in the continental standards, sending them deeply into rural areas and various Fang Markets where Loose Cultivators gathered to preach the norms and standards.
East Barbarians.
Old Bai Wu, after carefully reading the "East Continent Artifact Norms and Standards" sent by his disciple, couldn’t help but sigh.
"Henceforth, the artifact market will be dictated by the Five Elents Sect!"
Listening to Old Bai Wu, Liu Nan Sheng nodded repeatedly.
The Sun Bathing Sea inherited from the Fen Tianjing Di, and its Artifact Refining technique was nothing short of remarkable; at the very least, Old Bai Wu had individually refined a Fourth Rank Artifact.
Due to this, besides taxation and the related profits of the Sun God Tree, Artifact Refining was the third-largest inco source for the Sun Bathing Sea.
If in the future, the standards for artifact classification had to follow those published by the Five Elents Sect, then all those previous attempts to pad numbers would no longer hold water.
There was no doubt this would impact the revenue of the Sun Bathing Sea, but Old Bai Wu dared not voice any opposition.
Although Chen Mobai hadn’t acted against the Sun Bathing Sea all these years, Old Bai Wu lived in constant fear, afraid that one day he might open his eyes from ditation to find this Divinity Transformation enemy at the city walls.
And what frustrated Old Bai Wu the most was seeing Master Jingchi’s na on the list of personnel for the norms and standards.
We were clearly on the sa side, how did you end up defecting to the Five Elents Sect?
Old Bai Wu was angry, yet didn’t dare say anything to Master Jingchi. After all, the latter had now connected with the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor. He knew best that it was his people hurting his people which was the most ruthless.
"Do you think our Sun Bathing Sea’s foundation will one day fall apart in my hands?"
Liu Nan Sheng quivered slightly upon hearing the sudden question from Old Bai Wu, imdiately shaking his head, expressing that his master was still in his pri, and the Sun Bathing Sea was thriving under his leadership, definitely wouldn’t fall apart.
"Hmph, all you know is to say pleasing but aningless words, leave."
Old Bai Wu knew this disciple did not believe in what he was saying and waved him off disdainfully, sending Liu Nan Sheng out.
Then, he hesitated for a long ti in the grand hall, perford a secret technique, and quietly slipped out of Golden Crow Immortal City, arriving at a reef above the sea.
Old Bai Wu activated a pitch-black Talisman, sending it into the sea.
After waiting for a while, a Cultivator in a black robe suddenly stood on the reef, with a deep aura and deep-set eyes, Old Bai Wu didn’t even see how he appeared.
This person was the Cultivator from Subrged Abyss Island who had taken Ku Zhu away back then.
"Friend, does what you said last ti still hold?"
Seeing him, Old Bai Wu politely saluted before speaking.
"Naturally, it holds."
The Cultivator from Subrged Abyss Island nodded, his expression calm.
"Alright, then I agree with you, but I need to get those things in advance."
Thinking about how his future would only grow more miserable under Chen Mobai’s pressure, Old Bai Wu gritted his teeth, making a decision that he never would have in the past.
"I only have this part on , the rest may require the Mysterious Flood Dragon King’s Court to see your sincerity before they can be delivered."
After saying that, the Subrged Abyss Island Cultivator pulled out a Storage Bag and handed it to Old Bai Wu.
Old Bai Wu received it, and upon sending his Divine Sense inside, he saw so much-coveted Elixirs and resources, and let out a long sigh.
With this step out, he had almost banished himself from the East Continent, and might even lead the Burning Heaven ridians into an abyss of ruin.
But he couldn’t worry about so much anymore.
When he stepped into the Immortal Cultivation World, Old Bai Wu knew, in this world, the most important thing is oneself.
"Wait for my ssage!"
Upon obtaining so things, Old Bai Wu silently turned around and returned to Golden Crow Immortal City without another word.
Watching his retreating figure, the Cultivator from Subrged Abyss Island quietly disappeared from the reef.
