"Lady Nangong thinks too highly of me." Lin Feng shook his head with a smile.
He was very clear about how strong he was. During the Artificer Competition, he only performed exceptionally, but when it came to artificing skills, he was still far from it.
Not to mention that he was different from his younger brother Lin Yun. Managing an Union of Artificers?
There was nothing he could do.
"Lin Feng, you don't need to be modest. Although you lack a lot of experience, it was President Wang Shi and Vice President Ouyang Kuo who invited you to take up the position of Vice President." Lady Nangong's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Lin Feng, "And I also agree."
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and looked at Yumo. The latter just smiled faintly.
Lady Nangong's white wrist moved slightly. Her white dress reflected Lady Nangong, making her look even more noble and elegant. Lady Nangong opened her red lips, "Don't worry. Although President Wang Shi has left, the affairs of the Union will still be managed by Vice President Ouyang Kuo. There won't be any big changes. Lin Feng, your position is the same as President Wang Shi. It's a 'fake title'. You don't have the actual authority to manage the Union. It's just a title. "
"A title?" Lin Feng was surprised.
"Yes." Lady Nangong smiled elegantly, "Of course, other than the authority to manage the Union, Lin Feng, you will enjoy all the privileges and status of Vice President."
"Eh?" Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh.
There was actually such a good thing. He only needed a fake title?
But seeing Lady Nangong's words, it was obvious that she wasn't speaking without thinking.
"Hmm …" Slightly hesitating, Lin Feng couldn't make up his mind. She looked at Yumo beside her and a faint smile flashed across her beautiful face. It was as if she was telling herself that no matter what decision she made, she would support her. With a smile, Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he quickly made a decision.
This matter was beneficial to him and had no disadvantages at all.
Wasn't this the reason why he decided to participate in the Armament Master Competition that day?
Now, not only had he obtained the position of 'Honorary Elder', he had also obtained the position of 'Vice President', which was a pleasant surprise. Although he didn't know what the reason was, this was undoubtedly a good thing. With such good conditions, why not?
"Lady Nangong is so kind. If I continue to decline, it would be unreasonable." Lin Feng smiled and stretched out his hand. "Please take care of me in the future."
"Welcome, Vice President Lin." Lady Nangong extended her hand with a smile.
The two of them shook hands and smiled at each other.
…
"Vice President?!"
"Oh my god, are you serious?"
"Unbelievable."
As soon as Lady Nangong took a step forward, Lin Zhen and the others hurriedly stepped in and kept asking.
After all, Lady Nangong's position was no longer the same as before. She was the 'President' of the Zhuque Chau Refiners' Union. Just this identity alone was extraordinary. It was even better than the 'Saint' who ruled over a county.
What she held was absolute power!
"It's true. I agree," Lin Feng said with a smile.
Looking at Lin Zhen, Lin Zhan, and Lin Yan, Lin Feng didn't hide anything.
In the Lin clan, other than Yumo, he trusted these three people the most.
Lin Zhen and the others looked at each other. After a few seconds of silence, they instantly bloomed with excitement. Lin Zhan even whistled, and his wolf howl resounded through the hall. He was obviously too excited. However, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh. They seemed to be happier than he was when he became the Vice President.
"This is a proper name for the family," Lin Yumo looked at Lin Feng and said softly.
"There's no need to worry about the Pang family playing any tricks. As long as you're here, Lin Da Ge, the Lin clan is worthy of being the number one crafting family in Shiluo County." Lin Yumo's voice was crisp and pleasant, hitting the nail on the head. Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood.
Thinking about it, it was indeed so.
His identity as the Vice President of the Zhuque Chau Refiners' Union was extraordinary.
Even the patriarch of the Pang family, Pang Yan, would have to respectfully greet him when he saw him. The Union of Artificers, which was renowned throughout the human world …
That was a truly powerful backer!
"That's not all." Lin Zhen's eyes flashed with a hint of ambition. "With Lin Feng as our backer, the future development of the Lin clan will be smooth sailing. The President and Vice President of the Zhuque Chau Refiners' Union have always been represented by the three crafting families of the Zhuque Chau Refiners' Union, but this time … it's an exception.
"In time, maybe the three crafting families of the Zhuque Chau Refiners will slowly become …"
"The four crafting families!" Lin Zhen's eyes were deep as he clenched his right fist.
Lin Zhan was also in high spirits as he shouted, "Well said, Father!"
Lin Yan couldn't help but smile. He stroked his long beard and sighed. "Not long ago, I thought that the Lin clan would sink for decades and never be able to rise again. Who would have thought that the clan's internal strife would actually reap the benefits after losing at the swings? It's really unexpected."
Lin Feng smiled faintly. "Everything is destined."
Lin Feng thought to himself. Then, with a flip of his wrist, dozens of rays of light appeared in the air. They were transparent jade phoenix carvings. They were beautiful and looked like works of art. However, these jade phoenix carvings emitted a powerful aura. Below the jade carvings, there was an image of a phoenix that was deeply engraved in the eyes!
"Hiss!" "Hiss!" The three of them were dumbfounded.
"This is …" Lin Zhen turned pale with fright as he looked at Lin Feng. At this moment, only Lin Yumo was calm. He already knew.
"A total of fifty 'Phoenix Wings Soaring Heaven,' foster father." Lin Feng smiled indifferently, "Although they aren't of the legendary grade, they are all perfect grade 'Earth Rank Three Astral Treasures.' They should be worth a lot of money. I believe that they should be of great help to the clan."
Perfect grade!
And they were all Earth Rank Three Astral Treasures!
And they were Lin Feng's masterpiece, 'Phoenix Wings Soaring Heaven!'
Lin Zhen felt as if he was suffocating. After a while, he recovered and muttered, "It's not just great help, this …"
Too shocking!
Refining a perfect grade was already a miracle in itself. To steadily refine a perfect grade was even harder to imagine. As far as Lin Zhen knew, there wasn't a single craftsman that could do it. Only in the best state, the most special feeling, and the extraordinary performance would the 'Perfect grade' occasionally appear.
Even Lady Nangong didn't have this ability.
Refining a perfect grade was something that could only be chanced upon!
However, Lin Feng did it cleanly and efficiently. In a mere two days, he had refined fifty Soaring Phoenix Wings!
Every one of them was perfect grade. Just one of them was worth a lot. A total of fifty! How much was this worth?
Lin Zhen's mind was in a mess. Happiness came too suddenly.
Wave after wave.
After a while, Lin Zhen let out a long sigh.
"With you, Lin Feng …"
"Even if the clan doesn't want to rise, it's hard." Lin Zhen was speechless.
Lin Yan and Lin Zhan both nodded in agreement. They looked at Lin Feng as if they were looking at a monster.
Too abnormal!
…
…
As if afraid that Lin Feng would go back on his word, Lady Nangong announced this shocking news that day.
Although everyone was surprised, they didn't feel that it was too sudden. Lin Feng's amazing performance in the Weapon Refining Master Competition had already conquered all the Weapon Refiners. What Lin Feng didn't know was that crafting 'legendary' weapons was the dream that every refiner pursued in their entire life, but they couldn't achieve it.
But he had done it!
Now, he had become a flagpole for all the Weapon Refiners in the Vermillion Bird Continent.
A living legend!
And this was the reason why Lady Nangong, Wang Shi, and Ouyang Kuo made an exception and recruited him.
Lin Feng's reputation was too high!
Born 'ordinary', it was even more attractive.
In the current Vermillion Bird Continent, Lin Feng's reputation was even higher than Lady Nangong's. Rather than saying that Lin Feng was recruited by the Union of Artificers, it was more accurate to say that Lin Feng had 'recruited' himself. Whether it was for the Union of Artificers or for Lin Feng, this was a 'win-win' result.
However, it was a fake title after all, so they didn't hold a grand ceremony like Lady Nangong did.
Even so, the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and everyone knew about it.
…
In a secluded valley in the Vermillion Bird Territory.
"Boss, what did Lord Nether King say?" A short-haired woman in white tights asked. Her eyes were bright.
"The mission remains the same." The one who spoke was a man in white. "The target is related to the Union of Artificers. Although it's a bit troublesome, once we enter the 'Sparrow King Penitentiary', we won't be able to do anything. As long as we do it cleanly, it's fine."
"How depressing. If the target could become the Vice President of the Union of Artificers, the price would be at least three times higher!" A short man said sinisterly.
"Alright, cut the crap." The man in white was displeased. "Prepare yourselves. Tomorrow is the day of the Vermillion Bird Challenge. If you screw up the mission, don't even think about leaving alive!"
"Yes, Boss," the short-haired woman and short man replied respectfully.
…
A storm was brewing.
The once-in-a-century Vermillion Bird Challenge was about to officially begin!
Unlike the preliminary round, the main round of the Vermillion Bird Challenge was clean and tidy. All the participants would gather and enter the most mysterious place in the Vermillion Bird Territory to compete for the final crown. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, no one knew. Everything was a mystery.
Only the reward was public.
It was a shocking 'reward' —
The winner would definitely become a Saint!
This was more precious than any material reward.
The Saint level was the realm that every Star Sector-level martial artist dreamed of breaking through. Entering the Saint level meant that one had truly stepped into the Heavenly Dao of cultivation and had a glimpse of the Heavenly Will. It was not just an improvement in one's strength but also a sublimation of one's life, stepping into a new stage.
Who wouldn't want to?
…
"Three opponents."
"The first one is Shi Zhixin from the Aries Constellation in the Shiluo Commandery."
"The second one is also the Vice President of the Union of Artificers in the Shiluo Commandery, Lin Feng."
Hovering in the air, it was the gray-robed youth.
The scorpion mark on his forehead flickered with golden light. The gray-robed youth's eyes sparkled with battle intent, and his aura was majestic. The two daggers at his waist clanged fiercely, as if they could no longer suppress the surging power of his aura. The gray-robed youth's brows were tightly furrowed, and his veins were faintly visible.
"These two are not the biggest obstacle."
"They're just a little threat. The real trouble is him …"
"Thousand Mountains Commandery, Gemini Constellation, Thousand Love Emperor."
"I will never lose!"
Clenching his fists, the gray-robed youth's eyes were sharp.
