Zhou Yi always took care in handling matters and called for the Sect Leader Yuan Qi that very day.

"I find Elder Shi Bin to be quite impressive, loyal to the sect with notable ancestral merits, well-suited for the position of External Affairs Executor!"

"I will carefully follow Elder Tang\'s edict."

With a look of helplessness, Yuan Qi remembered the instructions of his mentor and nodded in agreement.

The External Affairs Executor was responsible for distributing the sect\'s missions, and not to mention the cut they took in between, just knowing the details of the missions and rewards in advance was enough to attract followers among the disciples.

Shi Bin took office immediately, becoming the first in the Earth Fire Palace\'s history to hold an executive position without being a True Disciple or at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Unworthy of one\'s position, inevitably this led to discussions among the peers, among whom the self-proclaimed wise began to interpret the deeper implications of Shi Bin\'s promotion.

"Elder Tang is meddling in the power dynamics of the Earth Fire Palace!"

"Transitions between new and old Supreme Elders may stir up a storm!"

"To side with someone, or to remain an observer, that is the question..."

Such gossip was highly sought after within the sect; the less people dared to speak of it openly, the more fervently they discussed it in private gatherings.

After all, ambition is the romance of men, but such romantic pursuits are generally unreliable!

One of the interested parties, Zhou Yi.

Since he had gathered ten thousand jin of Meteorite from Outer Space, he announced he would enter a closed-door retreat to refine treasures and also released a new sect mission.

——Assist the Mountain and River Cauldron in smelting the Five Elements Essence, with Contribution Value given according to the quantity, with no limit!

The Soul-Stabilizing Mirror, nourished for hundreds of years, had finally regained its magical artifact might, yet for a True Monarch, the top-tier Magic Artifact Mountain and River Cauldron was somewhat insufficient.

"Could this cause an overissue of Contribution Value? Oh well, it\'s just a string of numbers anyway..."

...

Fifteen years later.

The Mysterious Fire Hall Refining Chamber.

Feng Yang waved his hand to draw forth the earth fire, refining thousands of jin of Mystic Iron Ore, extracting strands of the essence of Five Metals.

A moment later.

The Mystic Iron Ore turned from pitch black to gray, its Spiritual Energy completely depleted, and shattered into a powder as it fell to the ground.

He then took out thousands of jin of Purple Copper Ore, continuing to refine and extract the essence of Five Metals in this manner until the Spirit Ore in the storage bag was exhausted.

The essence of Five Metals condensed into a mass, compressing into nearly substantial fist-sized solids under the power of a True Monarch\'s mana.

Without pausing, Feng Yang took out another storage bag of ore and continued to employ the Refining Technique to extract the essence of Five Metals.

At that moment.

The Elder\'s Token trembled slightly, conveying a message that Disciple Yuan Qi was seeking an audience with his master.

"Come in."

Feng Yang waved his hand to open the Formation, and with a single hand, employed the Xuan Yuan Fire Control Technique as skillfully as ever, without any mistake.

Yuan Qi entered, and seeing his master busy, he forwent formalities and reported directly.

"Master, news has come from Red Cloud Island. Wan Bao and five other True Monarchs have joined forces to claim a Profound-Level Spirit Vein in Ji Continent and established the Five Spirits Sect. Now, half of our sect disciples have moved there, and they have selected many gifted individuals from the Nine Continents to send to the Eastern Sea for cultivation!"

"Without the Nascent Soul emerging, Wan Bao is almost without an equal."

Feng Yang showed a look of envy, "With the support of the Profound-Level Spirit Vein and gaining access to the Nascent Soul scriptures, maybe that old man Wan Bao will truly achieve the status of a Dao Monarch."

Yuan Qi expressed his concern, "Could this affect the situation in the Eastern Sea?"

"Hmph, let\'s see them survive the retaliation from the Heavenly Demon Sect first, then we can talk about their future."

Feng Yang was not optimistic about the future of the Five Spirits Sect and asked, "What has Elder Tang been up to recently?"

Yuan Qi answered, "Since announcing his retreat, Elder Tang has not left the Hall of Spiritual Fire for fifteen years. Just some days ago, there was a glow of treasure piercing the sky; it seems he has refined a Spiritual Treasure."

Feng Yang asked again, "Has even Shi Bin been ignored?"

"After Elder Tang pushed Shi Bin to become the Overseer of External Affairs, he never took the initiative to contact him again."

Yuan Qi said, "Shi Bin has repeatedly sent messages, but the replies he got were always that the person was in seclusion and not to be disturbed, clearly indicating an unwillingness to deal with him. Sect Leader, should we stop such probing to avoid arousing Elder Tang\'s suspicions?"

"Alas, it\'s not just probing that concerns me..."

Feng Yang murmured, "That year, when the eldest senior brother let me have the Core Formation Spiritual Objects, I\'ve always felt guilty. Unfortunately, the descendants of the Shi family have too poor a Spirit Root aptitude. Now it\'s just right to use Elder Tang\'s hand to vehemently push the Shi family upward, to repay the kindness!"

With a look of helplessness, Yuan Qi said, "But looking at Elder Tang\'s demeanor, he truly seems to be wholeheartedly devoted to cultivation, paying no heed to the power and influence within the sect."

"If he cared about it a bit, it could become a hindrance."

Feng Yang said, "You continue to arrange for disciples to side with Elder Tang, choose more who are sensible and astute, and ensure that someone becomes his disciple. In this way, when I die, Elder Tang will be able to shelter Earth Fire Palace from the storms!"

"I understand," the disciple said.

Bowing to take his leave, Yuan Qi looked at Feng Yang, who was continuously drawing out metallic essence without stopping for a moment. He pondered," Elder Tang is using the disciple\'s advantage to refine that precious cauldron. Why is Sect Leader also so concerned about it?"

"Elder Tang gave me a scroll of Spiritual Treasure Techniques, and after careful study, I realized how exquisite the inheritance from the Nine Continents is."

Feng Yang said with a smile, "That precious cauldron is no ordinary object. It may seem like just a top-level Magic Artifact, but as it absorbs the essence of the Five Metals, in the future, it could ascend to a Magic Treasure, or even the fabled Spiritual Treasure!"

"Spiritual Treasure?"

Yuan Qi showed a look of astonishment. As the name implied, a Supreme Treasure had developed its own spirituality.

Unlike a Magic Treasure that needs a cultivator to activate, a Spiritual Treasure\'s sentience allows it to autonomously gather Spiritual Energy and unleash vast might.

"Even the lowest tier of Spiritual Treasure has a power comparable to that of a Golden Elixir True Monarch. Such things as the Sect-Defending Supreme Treasure of the Heavenly Demon Sect, once deployed, even a Nascent Soul Ancestor would have to retreat in fear; this is the foundation that has allowed them to stand for thousands of years!"

Feng Yang grew more excited as he spoke, "Earth Fire Palace just needs to refine the precious cauldron into a Spiritual Treasure, and even if one generation lacked a True Monarch to stabilize it, they wouldn\'t face the catastrophe of sect annihilation!"

"Therefore, we must keep Elder Tang within the sect, no matter how much he practices. It\'s only a matter of three or four hundred years!"

"Once Elder Tang has passed away, the Spiritual Artifact precious cauldron will be there to protect Earth Fire Palace every moment!"

Yuan Qi suddenly understood and bowed deeply to pay respect.

"Sect Leader\'s foresight is admirable!"

...

Hall of Spiritual Fire.

The Training Chamber.

Zhou Yi, of course, was unaware of Feng Yang\'s machinations, and even if he knew, he would clap his hands in praise.

At the moment, he was testing a protective Supreme Treasure he tentatively named the Xuanwu Divine Armor. It was dark green all over, flashing spectral starlight.

"Quick!"

With just a thought, the Divine Armor clothed him, as neatly as if it were a green vest.

Zhou Yi looked at its appearance and frowned slightly; his fingers formed a spell, "Change!"

The Divine Armor rapidly changed shape, at one moment taking the form of a Taoist robe, then transforming into a short jacket, and even becoming the plaid shirt from his distant memories.

"The color is a bit off, always inevitably dark green... Forget it, let\'s test the defensive power!"

Zhou Yi circulated his mana. Hundreds of bolts of lightning fell from above, including familiar forces such as yin and yang and the Five Elements, each one over ten zhang in length.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunderous roar was continuous, and at the distance of three feet from his head, a shield resembling a tortoise\'s shell appeared, blocking all the lightning outside.

No matter the spells Zhou Yi cast, the tortoise shell remained intact, not even trembling in the slightest.

"Not bad at all!"

Zhou Yi spat out the Spirit-Calming Mirror, as a soul-calming divine beam fell from above, attempting to pierce through the tortoise shell\'s protection and strike directly at the soul.

The result was that the tortoise shell flashed a hazy light, dissipating all of the soul-calming divine light completely. No matter how the Spirit-Calming Mirror unremittingly emitted divine light, Zhou Yi\'s soul detected no anomaly.

"Not bad at all! With such defensive power, one could stand invincible in the Golden Core Stage!"
