Another patriarch had different ideas. “Lady Dan is just naughty, but she is not a bad person. Don’t make a big deal out of this. We can talk some sense into her. I think this guy here is good. He passed the first test very quickly. Being so young, he must be quite talented in Inhibition Formations. Even though he has never learned forging artifacts, he can make one within such a short time. This is something. Besides, he may know Turbulent Flows. If he can develop in this regard, that will be beneficial to the Chamber of Relics as well. That is knowledge we can pass on through generations and the Turbulent Flows is valuable.”
“Sure!”
Another one said, “Chamber of Relics is a place of rules. Since the young man passes three tests, why would we turn him down? Are we going to let Chamber of Relics lose credits? Who will join the Chamber of Relics in the future in that case? The prototype may be bad but the Inhibition Formations are amazing. I will even say that it is excellent. Anyone disagree?”
The other patriarchs looked at each other speechlessly. This Patriarch He was old-fashioned and he would argue for a day and a night with anyone that dared to doubt his decisions…
“If we have reached a consensus, then we will let him pass!”
Patriarch Tian said the final word. “I will explain to the Chief regarding Lady Dan. She is a talent but her temper is bad. If we do nothing about her, she will eventually create some big troubles. We cannot reject a young talent just because of Lady Dan. That will violate the rules of the Chamber of Relics.”
Since Patriarch Tian had made the decision, the others would not refuse. Patriarch Tian deactivated the sound-proof shield and asked Lu LI gently, “What is your name?”
“Well? Did I pass?”
Lu Li was over the moon. No patriarch had asked the other participants’ names. Lu Li answered at once, “Patriarch Tian, my name is Lu Li!”
For the first time here, Lu Li used his real name. The Chamber of Relics was famous. It would be fine even when Yan Tiangang, God of Wings, God of Sorcerer, and God of Barbarians found out about him. Given Black Dragon Mansion’s force, they would be afraid to provoke the Chamber of Relics.
As for Cabinet of Cloud, when they traced the incident back to him, it would be of little use even if Lu Li used an alias. He felt awkward to use an alias, also. Therefore, he decided to use his real name.
“Good, Lu Li!”
Patriarch Tian said with a smile. “You are enrolled. From today on, you will be a registered disciple of Chamber of Relics!”
“What?”
Though prepared, Lu Li was still overjoyed. He could tell that some patriarchs of the Chamber of Relics had integrity. They would not treat him differently just on account of Lady Dan. Those people were men of principles.
With those patriarchs, at the very least, Lu Li didn’t have to be afraid that he would be assassinated in Chamber of Relics. Lady Dan might give him some trouble secretly. But that beat being hunted down by Cabinet of Cloud.
“What~”
The nearly one hundred participants here were shocked. The prototype Lu Li made was so ugly and of such low quality. They thought it was a piece of garbage. However, Lu Li turned out to be the first one enrolled. Many people would naturally mumble in disbelief.
“Silence~”
Patriarch Tian snorted. Then, he poured divine energy into the iron ball. Soon, the iron ball lit up. Xuan Qi in heaven and earth began to surge into the iron ball violently.
“Well…”
Many people were taken aback. The force of this iron ball was unusual. None the others believed they could have made such an artifact. Many people had second thoughts about Lu Li. He would enjoy a promising future when he was so talented in Inhibition Formations at such a young age.
“Thank you, Patriarch Tian. Thank you all for this kindness!”
Lu Li clasped his fists, neither cringing nor arrogant. Then, he stepped to the sides. Some disciples of Chamber of Relics gave Lu Li glances of bad intentions, that handsome, impressive young man, in particular. He was so sure that Lu Li would be eliminated. However, Lu Li ended up being his fellow disciple…
“Hmm~”
The young man snorted. Coldness rose on his face. What if Lu Li could join Chamber of Relics? He had offended Lady Dan. He would be in so many troubles. He might leave in dejections when he could no longer stand his lives here.
When the evaluation was finished, the patriarchs had a discussion. They eased the requirements. All the ones that produced excellent prototypes passed directly. Another one with an average quality prototype passed as well because this person was outstanding in Inhibition Formations.
The others were all evicted from the Valley of Relics. Of the ten thousand people, only fifty to sixty were enrolled. The ones that could stay were delighted.
The Chamber of Relics was not one of the 72 sects, but its status at southern Divinity was special, nonetheless. Some hidden forces and sects, even the 72 sects, did not have the courage to provoke Chamber of Relics for no reason. When disciples of Chamber of Relics went out of the Valley of Relics, they would be treated with the highest honor. The disciples from other major forces would have to treat those from the Chamber of Relics with respect and politeness.
Chamber of Relics was not only relying on Craftsmen’s Sect, but it was also the largest manufacturer of Relics in the Divinity. Anyone that wanted the best of the Relics would have to go to Craftsmen’s Sect. However, Craftsmen’s Sect usually would ask for outrageous prices. Not even mighty warriors could stand that kind of high price.
Since not everyone could afford to buy from Craftsmen’s Sect, they would have to come to the Chamber of Relics. Everyone had their own habits and preferences. Many powerful warriors and famous disciples would always like to have their Relics custom-made.
To achieve that, they would have to go to the Chamber of Relics. If a sect wanted to buy Relics in bulk after offending the Chamber of Relics, they could not find any other similar places in southern Divinity. Such sects would have to go to other places and pay a high price…
Relics including weapons, armors, protectors of souls and many other artifacts with a special function. Those could be bought from Chamber of Relics and they could be custom-made here.
Besides, the Chamber of Relics not only could produce Relics, but there were also many masters skilled in Inhibition Formations. Any sect would have to set up strong formations that would need to be maintained and repaired if something went wrong.
If the sect could not fix such problems on their own, they would have to go to the Chamber of Relics.
Therefore, the Chamber of Relics enjoyed a high status in southern Divinity. Naturally, disciples from the Chamber of Relics would enjoy such privilege as well.
Besides, the Chamber of Relics was vastly rich. Every year, they would produce many Relics, which could bring a large amount of Divine Sources to Chamber of Relics. Hence, disciples of the Chamber of Relics were wealthy. The materials and skills they used in cultivation were better than the ones used at 72 sects…
Another interesting point of Chamber of Relics was!
The disciples could leave Chamber of Relics after they finished their studies. Chamber of Relics would not mind as long as those disciples did not leave information of Chamber of Relics to the outside world. However, if someone did, he or she would most certainly be executed. First of all, the Chamber of Relics’ connection was Craftsmen’s Sect. Second, if the Chamber of Relics were going to spend a large number of Divine Sources to have someone assassinated, not even the 72 sects could provide protection!
So, when someone became a craftsman or skilled craftsman, they would leave the Chamber of Relics to join other forces as patriarchs or leaders. They could have their ways in the sect and enjoy a lifetime of comfort…
“Okay. Long Yunhai, help the registered disciples settle down!”
Patriarch Tian threw a glance to the enrolled and then said to that handsome young man. “Then, let them join our halls. Do follow the rules. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Patriarch Tian!”
Long Yunhai cupped his fists and accepted the order. Lu Li turned to Long Yunhai. When Lu Li saw the cold glare in the latter’s eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
Patriarch Tian told this handsome young man to help them settle down. From now on, Lu Li was afraid that he would no longer have happy days. Would Long Yunhai send him to clean bathrooms for a few years?
