In a short time, Qin Fengming's deeds had already spread throughout Grand Clarity Palace.
The story began with True Immortal Du Zhen's encounter with Qin Fengming and continued until Qin Fengming entered the Star Ancestor Trial grounds. In particular, Qin Fengming's audacious gamble at Puyang Sect had become a favorite topic among the cultivators.
Such an Immortal Realm cultivator had passed the Star Ancestor Trial and become the Direct Disciple of Grand Clarity Palace's Star Ancestor, bringing great honor to the cultivators of Grand Clarity Palace.
As news of Qin Fengming's successful apprenticeship spread, Grand Clarity Palace also sent out invitations for the Master-Apprenticeship Ceremony. The super sects and first-rate sects within Grand Clarity Palace's territory all received word. For a time, cultivators from sects that had yet to set out for Grand Clarity Palace became anxious and began seeking out Teleportation Arrays to travel directly there.
Meanwhile, many sect cultivators already at Grand Clarity Palace eagerly anticipated seeing the countenance of Star Ancestor's newly accepted disciple.
Naturally, news that Qin Fengming was a master of alchemy had also spread, arousing the interest of the cultivators.
Those coming to witness the ceremony naturally would not arrive empty-handed. The flow of people through Grand Clarity Palace's Marketplace surged, and every shop saw several times its usual traffic. All kinds of precious items were snapped up, leaving the various merchant alliances with their bowls brimming and their pots overflowing. Grand Clarity Palace's own shops were the most bustling of all, because the items they offered were all Heaven-defying Divine Objects. Grand Clarity Palace knew that once these items were exchanged, most of them would return to Grand Clarity Palace before long.
