Conditions for Passing on the Artifact Refining Inheritance; Come to Collect Your Treasure in a Thousand Years

Mountain Sitting Guest naturally hadn't taken on disciples in search of someone to carry on his artifact-refining legacy.

Revenge came first in his heart.

So Mountain Sitting Guest only took on disciples who met his requirements and had tremendous potential. He gave them the best conditions for cultivation so they could reach even greater heights.

"Third Junior Brother," Puti said, "when Teacher cultivates a disciple, he wants that disciple to become as powerful as possible in the future. Put simply, he wants them to have enough killing power. That's why, despite Teacher's skill in artifact refining, he's never taken on a disciple from that field."

Junior Brother, your cultivation talent is so exceptional—you mustn't let artifact refining take time away from your cultivation."
