After retrieving a copy of the Heaven Patrolling Battleship from the Union of Artificers, Yi Tian directly brought it to an elegant room in the library and started to read it. In any case, for this matter, Chen Haoran was very lenient and directly gave the best rooms to the three of them.
Yi Tian didn't stand on ceremony either. After entering the elegant room, he glanced around. The interior of the room was about 30 feet wide. There was a round table in the center with four chairs beside it. After that, he turned and closed the door. After that, he walked forward and sat down on the seat in the center. He took out a few jade slips and started to slowly read them.
Although the mission this time was to set up a formation, he wasn't in a hurry to understand the structure of the Heaven Patrolling Battleship. After sitting down, he took out the Spirit Realm's History of Weapon Forging and slowly read through it.
Flipping to the first few pages, it recorded the origin of the Union of Artificers. What shocked him was that the Union of Artificers was actually a group of weaponsmiths that split off from the Lifire Palace.
With regards to this, Yi Tian's expression sank. In that case, this group had some history with him. But these people escaped from the Lifire Palace. Why weren't they hunted down by the sect? Logically speaking, how could the Lifire Empyrean of the past allow such a thing to happen?
After carefully checking the date when the Union of Artificers was officially established, Yi Tian came to a realization. Roughly 9,500 years ago, this group of weaponsmiths withdrew from the Lifire Palace. Back then, Ancestor Wu Ye had split into two groups and was fighting fiercely.
By the time the two old ancestors decided on a victor, it was already a matter of 1,000 years later. At that time, the Union of Artificers had already gained a firm foothold in the Spirit Realm. They only managed to avoid being blamed by the Lifire Empyrean because of their connections.
After reading up to here, he didn't feel very optimistic about the Union of Artificers challenging the Lifire Palace. They were originally a faction that split off from the Lifire Palace. Although they formed their own faction in the outside world, it was unknown how much they had learned.
When he thought about how Pei Yuexiao and Sun Kai were going to challenge Ji Xingzhu from the Lifire Palace, he didn't feel very optimistic about this matter.
As he continued reading, his eyes lit up when he saw a few records. It turned out that the Union of Artificers knew that their skills could not be compared with those of the main branch of the sect, so they took a different approach and started from other areas. Over the past eight thousand years, he had been constantly communicating and cooperating with other realms and had learned many unique spiritual artifacts and refining methods from the outside world.
To put it bluntly, the Li Fire Sect specialized in a few areas, while the Union of Artificers covered an even wider area. Sometimes, precision might not be effective. On the contrary, extensive surveillance could provide unexpected results.
For example, the original prototype of the Sky Patrolling Warship was the Limitless Demon Sovereign, the flagship left behind in the Spirit Realm after the Demon Realm's invasion. Unfortunately, the warship had been reduced to smithereens. The ancestors of the Union of Artificers had to search for thousands of years before they found some wreckage. They then drew the blueprint of the Sky Patrolling Warship from it.
In the past, the construction of such a large warship was controlled by the three major sects. It was because of the existence of the Union of Artificers that the small and medium-sized factions gradually built their own warships.
Finally, due to the difficulty of management, the three major sects had no choice but to set a rule that every sect and prefecture-level city could only keep one medium-sized warship or three small-scale warships.
Upon seeing this, Yi Tian knew that the defensive array he was designing was only a small-scale one. Then, what was the charge boat in his hands? Compared to the Luo Xia City's Sky Patrolling Warship, it was like a dinghy.
Upon thinking of this, he revealed a look of helplessness. Following that, he took out the Sky Patrolling Warship's blueprint jade scroll and carefully read it. The description was straightforward. If you wanted to see a warship, you must first find suitable materials to make the keel of the warship. These materials were usually made of the vertebrae of some high-rank beastkin, mixed with mystic iron essence and well-tempered steel.
Although mystic iron essence and well-tempered steel could only be regarded as low-rank human-level materials, the amount was huge. A warship would need at least a few hundred thousand kilograms.
Just as he was thinking, suddenly there was movement at the entrance. Using his Divine Thought to check, it turned out to be Chen Haoran and Bai Siyang standing outside the door.
Yi Tian hurriedly opened the enchantment, then hurried forward to open the door. He saw Chen Haoran looking at him with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Yi, you happen to be free. Am I bothering you?"
Seeing that he must have something to say, Yi Tian's mouth twitched. He stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, "It's rare for Elder Chen to be so interested. Please come in and talk in detail."
Chen Haoran turned his eyes and glanced at Bai Siyang behind him. Yi Tian understood and said, "Mr. Bai can come in too."
After ten seconds, the enchantment of the elegant room was reopened. After entering the room, Yi Tian and Chen Haoran sat down directly, while Bai Siyang stood behind Chen Haoran to serve.
Shaoqing saw that Chen Haoran said, "I haven't thanked Brother Yi for setting up the array last time."
"It's just a favor. I can't be Elder Chen. I really don't deserve it." Yi Tian hurriedly replied modestly. Although he did help, he didn't dare to do it in front of Chen Haoran. After all, the other party was a Severed Soul Stage cultivator.
Unexpectedly, Chen Haoran waved his hand and replied, "I'm not only thanking you for setting up the array, but also Brother Yi for training 30 apprentices for the Union of Artificers."
So it's about this. Yi Tian held back a smile on his face. At the beginning, he wanted to be lazy, so he directly asked people to work for him. But looking at Bai Siyang's appearance, this guy probably sorted out what he taught him and felt it was quite useful.
It's just that looking at Chen Haoran's appearance, he didn't know what he was thinking. Then he asked tentatively, "I think Elder Chen didn't just come to thank me this time. I don't know what you want me to do. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."
Chen Haoran frowned, then said straightforwardly, "Most of the famous array masters in the spiritual world have been recruited by the three major sects. Our Union of Artificers has few talents in this area."
Yi Tian frowned and interrupted, "But I have received the recommendation order from Lord Hong, and I will soon go to the Taiqing Pavilion to participate in the inner door selection. It seems unrealistic for me to switch to the Union of Artificers, and I'm afraid I can't bear the consequences if I fail to live up to Lord Hong's good intentions. "
Chen Haoran hurriedly explained, "Brother Yi, you've misunderstood. I will not delay your future."
"Then Elder Chen, what do you mean?"
Chen Haoran pointed to Bai Siyang behind him and said, "Brother Yi, please take a few of my disciples when we cooperate here in the next few years. After seven to eight years of arranging the Seven Star Gathering Array, they have already touched the threshold. As long as they have the guidance of a great teacher, they will soon be on the right track. "
Yi Tian lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then he took out a jade slip and engraved it on the spot. Then he gently handed it over and said, "This is the preliminary understanding of the array. During this period of time in the Union of Artificers, I can be responsible for taking two apprentices. During this period, they can follow me and see how I complete the design of the Sky-Patrolling Battleship. This is the best I can do. "
Chen Haoran's face showed a hint of joy when he heard this. He promised on the spot, "Thank you very much."
