After Jiang Liu was fully seated, the Sects meeting in the main hall continued.
After listening for a while, Jiang Liu finally understood that the Star Cloud Saint Sect was currently conducting assessments on the remaining disciples from the Haotian Sect.
Now we will report on their performance evaluation.
The reports also included details about the investigation of the Grandmaster and Elders who had surrendered to the Star Cloud Saint Sect.
After so many years, those former disciples of the Haotian Sect have rejoined the Star Cloud Saint Sect through the examination, and now some restrictions can be appropriately relaxed.
Let them cultivate more advanced techniques, such as the Flowing Cloud Art or the Star Moon Flowing Fire Art.
However, Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue unanimously decided that they would only release one cultivation technique for them to practice.
However, which specific technique it is remains to be discussed and decided upon by the two of them.
The Star Cloud Saint Art? Forget about it. It's the highest-level cultivation technique of the Star Cloud Saint Sect, and only the True Inheritor Disciple of the Star Cloud Saint Sect can cultivate it.
As for the Haotian Sect's Haotian Art, it has always been managed by the two sect leaders, and the previous Haotian Sect disciples have not been allowed to continue cultivating it.
Meanwhile, the Grandmaster and Elders of the Haotian Sect who had already surrendered were being assigned tasks.
This will enable them to develop a stronger sense of belonging to the Star Cloud Saint Sect.
After all, the mark left by the Haotian Sect on them is not so easy to erase.
Of course, the reason for this discussion is that both Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue know that Jiang Liu has already advanced to the Saint Realm.
Therefore, they are not afraid at all that those Grandmaster and elders might do anything to betray the Star Cloud Saint Sect.
Therefore, although Jiang Liu did not attend the meeting, he rarely participated in the management of the Star Cloud Saint Sect.
However, his influence within the Star Cloud Saint Sect has always been considerable.
The meeting didn't last long, and the decisions that needed to be made were finalized.
Seeing that there was nothing important to discuss further, Flowing Cloud Matriarch adjourned the meeting.
In normal circumstances, the Star Cloud Saint Sect is usually in charge of making Flowing Cloud Matriarch, and Gongsun Haoyue is not specifically called back for meetings unless there is something important.
Because Gongsun Haoyue is now almost always with Jiang Liu in the palace, he generally won't disturb her unless there's something important.
Gongsun Haoyue's visit today was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision, as she had not appeared in the Sects for some time.
After all the elders had left, Flowing Cloud Matriarch asked Jiang Liu why he had come here.
"I want to find Elder Gong Mo and Elder Tian Ling to ask them for guidance on forging techniques," Jiang Liu replied.
Upon hearing this, Flowing Cloud Matriarch looked Jiang Liu up and down with curiosity. "What? You don't want to focus on cultivation anymore and want to switch careers to blacksmithing?"
Gongsun Haoyue, standing to the side, also wore a puzzled expression.
Why not use this perfectly good Jiang Liu to cultivate instead of learning blacksmithing?
If he doesn't explain clearly to the two people who are puzzled, he'll probably have a hard time getting away with it.
He then shared his thoughts with the two of them.
However, he didn't say that he didn't trust others to do it; he only said that others didn't know much about the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.
Therefore, as the sole master of the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, he had no choice but to try it himself to see if he could create a free access token that would allow them to easily enter and exit the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.
When Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue saw that Jiang Liu was so considerate of them, they suddenly felt a little guilty, since they had just been laughing at Jiang Liu.
Especially Flowing Cloud Matriarch, who seemed quite embarrassed.
In fact, Jiang Liu never intended to make things convenient for Flowing Cloud Matriarch Shangren, allowing her to freely enter and exit the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.
After all, Jiang Liu now sees the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation as his and his family's residence.
Although he had a close relationship with Flowing Cloud Matriarch, he would never allow outsiders to freely enter or leave his residence.
However, now that Flowing Cloud Matriarch has misunderstood, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and acquiesce.
Although Jiang Liu could go directly to Gong Mo and Tian Ling, it would be better if Flowing Cloud Matriarch or Gongsun Haoyue were to do it.
Immediately, Flowing Cloud Matriarch transmitted his voice to the disciples guarding outside the main hall, instructing them to go and fetch Gong Mo and Tian Ling.
Before long, Gong Mo and Tian Ling arrived together at the Council Great Hall.
Since the merger of the two sects, Gong Mo and Tian Ling, two like-minded forging masters, have often honed their forging skills together.
The hope is to generate new sparks that can create higher quality materials or weapons.
After entering the Council Great Hall, the two bowed together to the three people seated at the head of the table.
"No need for formalities. Jiang Liu has something to discuss with you." Flowing Cloud Matriarch waved his hand and helped the two up.
"Elders, I wish to learn forging techniques from you. How long will it take to see results?" Jiang Liu asked.
"For an ordinary apprentice to even begin to learn, it would probably take a year or two of hard work," Gong Mo said hesitantly.
Actually, she was being quite polite by saying that.
In the average apprenticeship, without three or four years of training, one cannot even master the basics of smelting temperature and material identification, let alone enter the realm of forging techniques.
"I see! It does take a bit more time, but I'll try to practice as much as possible!" Jiang Liu said hesitantly.
On the other side, Tian Ling rolled her eyes as she listened, even though Jiang Liu's status and position were now very different.
But don't forget, he was True Inheritor Disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect before, so Elder Tian Ling, the former forging master of the Flowing Cloud Sect, wouldn't have tolerated him.
He then said, "Elder Gong is just comforting you. Your talent for cultivation is indeed high."
"But this is for practicing forging techniques. Without years of hard work, you can't master the real forging skills at all. You can't even get started in a year or two."
"So I advise you not to waste your time on forging. You have such good talent for cultivation, don't let it go to waste."
"Whatever you want to forge, Gong Mo and I will do our best to make it for you."
"I see! But I still want to give it a try. Then I'll have to trouble the two elders to help me out." Jiang Liu said after a moment's thought.
"Alright! Since you won't listen to advice, then let's do it! Let's go to the forge and try it out first, then we'll talk about other things." After Tian Ling finished speaking, she turned around and led the way out of the Council Great Hall.
Gong Mo quickly followed, and Jiang Liu also stood up and followed them toward Forging Peak.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue exchanged a glance, unable to hide their curiosity either. Then, they both got up and followed behind.
Soon, the group arrived at the summit of Forging Peak.
This entire small mountain was specially prepared by the Sects for the two forging masters, Gong Mo and Tian Ling.
The entire mountain has been specially modified so that its advantages can be utilized to create higher-quality weapons.
Jiang Liu could sense the special nature of Forging Peak even before he got close to it.
It's because this mountain peak seems to contain a special kind of flame, which makes the temperature of the entire mountain peak much higher.
