A master who taught artifact refinement had arrived at the Grand Academy, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire academy.
In the past, the Grand Academy's strongest immortal arts had been alchemy and formations. As for talismans and artifact refinement, they had always lacked suitable masters.
However, students studying at the Grand Academy could freely choose one of Pills, Artifacts, Formations, Talismans to cultivate. Those with exceptional talent could even study several arts at once, though that could easily delay their own cultivation, and the academy did not encourage it.
Thus, even without qualified talisman masters and artifact refinement masters, it was not particularly important to these students.
At worst, they could simply focus on alchemy and formations. After all, the strongest formation masters on the entire Canglan Continent were at the Grand Academy.
Although Master Ying rarely showed himself, that did not affect the popularity of formations within the Grand Academy. Over the years, Master Ying had taught quite a few students with impressive attainments in formations, all of whom could stand on their own as formation masters.
Therefore, for so many years, formations had been the Grand Academy's most popular art, sought after by countless cultivators in the academy. Even some masters would make time to attend the lectures.
