In the Harmony Light Hall, many pairs of eyes turned to Qian Wudang, the sect master gradually beca aware, feeling greatly surprised.
Honestly, upon first seeing this As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc, he also thought it was sothing developed by the Military Supplies Departnt. You must know that the Military Supplies Departnt has gathered a large number of talents in artifact refining, alchemy, and spirit runes. It can be said that all sects in Bingzhou that have special talents fall under the jurisdiction of the Military Supplies Departnt in principle, and if needed, the Military Supplies Departnt has the authority to requisition any special talents from any sect for its use.
These talents with special skills gather in the Military Supplies Departnt, forming the basis to ensure the supply of military supplies to the front lines. In past years, the Military Supplies Departnt occasionally brought out so peculiar gadgets, but most were flashy without real use, only serving to amuse.
For this reason, the research institution of the Military Supplies Departnt is quite criticized, and it has been holding onto a resentnt for years, wanting to prove itself.
If this As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc was truly developed by the Military Supplies Departnt, it would certainly wash away past sha and spread the fa of the Military Supplies Departnt.
But from the looks of it now, this thing has nothing to do with the Military Supplies Departnt, instead, it seems to stem from the Justice Departnt?
The sect master pondered in his heart, when did the Justice Departnt, such a group of killers, gain such artistic talent?
"Why is everyone looking at ? Drink tea, drink tea!" Qian Wudang was being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes without changing his expression, he calmly picked up the teacup in front of him for a sip.
He had already heard about today's events, so he wasn't surprised.
Chow Ye slamd the table and shouted angrily: "Stop pretending! The origin of this thing is from your Justice Departnt, dare you say you don't know?"
"I know, of course I know, what's the problem with that?" Qian Wudang looked at Chow Ye innocently, "Your Military Supplies Departnt's research institution harbors a group of incompetent people, only able to develop flashy trash with no real use; soone in my Justice Departnt refined the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc, and it did not block the path of your departnt. Why does Brother Chow have to get angry with here?"
Chow Ye snorted: "Such a strategically significant artifact should indeed be managed by my Military Supplies Departnt, unified allocation to bring out its maximum value."
Qian Wudang laughed: "The array disc is in your hand, Brother Chow. If you wish to refine it, instruct your departnt's artifact refiners to disassemble and study it. Refining this object isn't difficult, right? Your departnt employs so many artifact refiners; they can't possibly be idling, so value should indeed be demonstrated."
"Such an artifact cannot be crafted randomly by just anyone!" Chow Ye huffed.
Of course, he had tried what Qian Wudang said. Upon obtaining the array disc, he imdiately gathered his artifact refiners to disassemble and study it, aiming to replicate its crafting; embarrassingly, even those renowned across Bingzhou couldn't guarantee successful replication. While the crafting of the disc itself isn't difficult, the complexity lies in the spirit runes engraved within. Perfectly engraving such inscribed spirit runes during the crafting process is extrely challenging.
The result was that after half a month of attempts, among the nurous artifact refiners, they barely crafted five array discs, and those were products of sheer luck, difficult to replicate.
Were it not thus, he wouldn't bring the matter to the high council eting, lest the face of the Military Supplies Departnt be lost.
The Military Supplies Departnt primarily oversees this domain; yet after so many individuals and years, there have been few remarkable achievents, whereas a single strike from the Justice Departnt was earth-shattering.
Recently, Chow Ye has beco increasingly upset and aggrieved. Why does his departnt lack such talents? Why did Qian Wudang step on dog shit!
"If this thing isn't forged by humans, what is Brother Chow holding?" Qian Wudang softly laughed.
"Qian Wudang!" Chow Ye slamd the table again, "I think you Justice Departnt aren't thinking straight, do you still want to receive supplies from my Military Supplies Departnt in the future!"
"Deputy Alliance Leader, I protest!" Qian Wudang turned to look at Pang Zhen, "This man abuses power, using his authority to threaten , preparing to withhold supplies from my Justice Departnt soldiers. How he dares behave so flagrantly in front of everyone is beyond ; behind closed doors, who knows how much oppression he'll employ. I implore the Deputy Alliance Leader and elders to uphold justice and remove him from the position of Military Supplies Departnt Chief, to choose soone more virtuous."
"Damned fool!" Chow Ye jumped onto the table, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to lunge at Qian Wudang, but the Chief of Recruitnt Departnt Shi Jian and Chief of the Departnt of Appointnts Wan Guliu quickly restrained him, offering words of comfort.
Chow Ye struggled while yelling: "Co and duel, it's the rule of the cultivation world that whoever has the stronger fist speaks louder, let's see if old man doesn't beat you black and blue!"
Qian Wudang chuckled coldly: "Co on, despite your old bones and limbs, I won't show leniency when striking."
"Today, this old man will teach you why people say ginger grows hotter as it ages!" Chow Ye beca even more excited.
"Hurry up, I'm just sitting here waiting for you." Qian Wudang sat calmly, tapping the table in front of him.
"Alright." Pang Zhen spoke calmly, "Enough of this. Qian Wudang, say no more, Veteran Chow, please sit back. After all, as departnt chiefs, such behavior at a high council eting is improper."
Chow Ye, giving face to Pang Zhen's words, shook off his restraints, glared fiercely at Qian Wudang, then sat back down.
Qian Wudang continued to drink tea.
Pang Zhen looked around, feeling a bit of a headache. They are all figures of the Divine Sea Level 9; naturally, they wouldn't be so superficial as to go into a brawl at the Grand eting. Chow Ye truly has a fiery temperant, but it's not to the extent of being reckless. His current display undoubtedly shows so urgency and further indicates his regard for the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc.
The Military Supplies Departnt hasn't produced anything impressive for many years, and if things remained this way, it would have been fine. The trouble ca when the Justice Departnt presented the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc, making the Military Supplies Departnt look incompetent, which is why Chow Ye is so determined.
He manages the Military Supplies Departnt and naturally needs to consider his subordinates. F^i*nd the tran#sla%tion% on M%V!&L-E*MPY&R.
This has sothing to do with so minor disputes between him and Qian Wudang in previous years, initiated by the Explosive Fire Spirit Stone.
When this item appeared, Chow Ye approached Qian Wudang, hoping to shift the refining of the Explosive Fire Spirit Stone to the Military Supplies Departnt, counting it as their achievent. Of course, the Military Supplies Departnt would offer so conveniences in terms of resources, but repeatedly, the attempts were fruitless. Qian Wudang stood firm, and Chow Ye couldn't force his way, so he had to let it go.
Minor disputes don't affect the overall situation, but the value of the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc is different from the Explosive Fire Spirit Stone. The Explosive Fire Spirit Stone could be overlooked, but the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc couldn't be ignored.
Logically, Chow Ye wasn't wrong. Such treasures that can be widely disseminated should indeed be managed and distributed by the Military Supplies Departnt. That's their duty; that's what they do.
Unfortunately, the person capable of refining the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc belongs to the Justice Departnt, and Qian Wudang won't let him go; no one can do anything about it.
As Pang Zhen contemplated this, he turned his head towards the sect master: "What does Veteran Thang think?"
The sect master was studying the array disc in his hand, finding it remarkably wonderful. If it could indeed be widely disseminated, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit. He dare not say much, but the overall strength of the Haotian Alliance could at least increase by two or three percent, especially enhancing the Cloud River-True Lake level.
This is exceedingly impressive, sothing unmatched by any elixir pill or miracle cure.
Suddenly hearing Pang Zhen's question, the sect master was confused, not understanding why this matter was directed at him. He had joined the Elder Council for two years but hadn't really managed any specific affairs; he mainly sat there, providing a reliable figure for his disciples.
Thus, whether in grand or small etings, he rarely expressed his opinions.
"Veteran Thang might not know, but this array disc cos from a disciple of your sect," Pang Zhen voluntarily explained.
"Refined by a disciple of my sect?" The sect master was taken aback and imdiately realized: "You an..."
Pang Zhen nodded: "It's Lu Yiye! Not only did he refine this item, but the Explosive Fire Spirit Stone also ca from his hands."
Initially, Qian Wudang kept these matters well-hidden. The Military Supplies Departnt only knew that the Explosive Fire Spirit Stone was refined by the Justice Departnt, without knowing who specifically refined it. But so things don't withstand scrutiny, especially from strong Divine Sea Realm cultivators with intent.
During the two years of Lu Ye's disappearance, the supply of Explosive Fire Spirit Stones gradually ceased, and after his return, the supply resud, along with the appearance of the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc.
The origins of these two items thus beca evident.
The sect master laughed: "Does that kid have such abilities? I actually didn't know."
Pang Zhen nodded: "Youth can be awe-inspiring; this world will ultimately belong to the young." He also felt a sense of sighing internally. When Lu Ye joined the Righteous Blood Sect, Pang Zhen had witnessed it all. He hadn't expected that the young man, not valued by any sect and with only Yiye aptitude, would not only achieve Divine Sea Realm cultivation in just a few years but also accomplish things beyond ordinary capabilities.
If he had known earlier, the Righteousness Sect could have opened doors of convenience and incorporated him.
Learned that Lu Ye was the one refining these treasures, the sect master understood why Pang Zhen had asked him. After so contemplation, he said: "The item is excellent, but the key lies in whether it can be widely disseminated. If it can, it is strategic material; if not, it can only be considered a curious novelty, not contributing to the greater situation despite its effectiveness."
"Whether it can be disseminated or not, ask Qian Wudang. As far as I know, recently all Justice Departnt teams have been equipped with one, and even the Heralds Office had a fair share." Chow Ye snorted lightly.
Everyone knows that Justice Departnt Chief Qian Wudang and Chief of Heralds Office Fan Xiangyi have a good relationship, and what the Justice Departnt has, the Heralds Office generally wouldn't miss out on.
Everyone now turned their attention to Qian Wudang.
In such a situation, Qian Wudang naturally couldn't conceal anything. He didn't insist on holding the distribution rights of this item. It concerns the greater situation in Bingzhou; even though he is a Departnt Chief, he can't afford to act indiscriminately. However, no matter what happens, his troops must first be equipped.
Over a month, those who needed to be equipped had been equipped, so transferring the distribution rights wouldn't be an issue and would lessen so of his troubles.
