The Azure Dragon Saber Practitioner ultimately joined Saine's Mechanical City.
At Saine's personal invitation, he became another guest official of Mechanical City, with a title akin to vice city lord.
Besides receiving a sufficient supply of Energy Crystals on schedule, another benefit of becoming a city lord favored by Saine was that Saine promised him a batch of Blood Essence Potions and to help him refine and enhance his Azure Dragon Blade.
Several of Ming's sharp blades had been selectively reinforced by Saine over the years.
Ever since entering Despair World, Saine's attainments in artifact refinement had grown increasingly profound.
Of course, Saine had offered the Azure Dragon Saber Practitioner so many benefits because he himself was immensely curious about him... or rather, eager to study him.
Saine was especially eager to study the Azure Dragon Blade that he was always holding in his arms.
According to Saine's observations, the forging techniques used for that Azure Dragon Blade differed greatly from those of the equipment and artifacts he had encountered in the past.
This was new material that could further improve Saine's alchemy.
Before the Azure Dragon Saber Practitioner, Saine frankly revealed his true name.
When Saine asked for the other man's name, the Azure Dragon Saber Practitioner fell silent for a moment before replying, "You may call me Dao Dali."
What a strange name.
It was neither in keeping with Wizard World naming customs nor like the names of Immortal Domain Cultivators.
Perhaps it was merely one of his aliases.
However, judging from his appearance, this Azure Dragon Saber Practitioner looked unlike the humans of the Wizard World. Instead, he more closely resembled the Humanoid Creatures of the Immortal Domain Civilization and Tianming Empire.
The Azure Dragon Saber Practitioner's arrival was merely a minor interlude in Saine's boundless experiments
