Clan Leader: My strength equals to that of the entire clan

Regarding the sect’s opinion, they had no way of rebutting. They could only wait for an opportunity in secret to teach Ye XiaoFan a lesson, forcing him to step away in the face of difficulty.

In their view, Ye XiaoFan had just broken through to the Saint Realm, and he would not be a match for old-time powerhouses of the Saint Realm like them.

Within the pool of Holy Power, Ye XiaoFan had already consolidated his cultivation level, but he was in no rush to leave.

He knew his breakthrough to the Saint Realm this time would surely cause a commotion.

Before he stepped out, he must be fully prepared.

“Original self, you better prepare something good for me this time!”

Ye Fan never waged a battle unprepared!

The combat power of an incarnation couldn’t compare to the original body at all.

But battles aren’t just about the strength of the original body, they are about resources, about having support.

Right now, the original body of Ye Fan at the Ye Family was busy increasing his Artifact Refining Technique level!

The level of Artifact Refining Technique of the Ye Family had always been the highest among all skills.

In the years that had passed, Ye Fan’s Artifact Refining Technique level has already reached the peak of the Saint Level.

Upon reaching the Sea of Primordial Chaos, there were many Artifact Refiners from various worlds, and there were also many at the peak of Saint Level.

Under such exposure, the skill level of many Ye family Artifact Refiners soared.

Today, the time was finally ripe for his breakthrough.

“System, merge!”

Countless Artifact Refining experiences poured into Ye Fan’s mind in an instant.

As if he had refined artifacts for countless ages, Ye Fan’s Artifact Refining Skills finally made a breakthrough at this moment.

With a rub on his slightly aching mind, Ye Fan finally absorbed all of the experiences of the Artifact Refiner in his mind.

Great Saint Stage, lower rank.

This was now Ye Fan’s Artifact Refiner level. He can finally refine Great Saint artifacts.

He recalled how once, a lower tier Holy Artifact, the God-Beating Whip, was incomprehensibly profound to him.

But looking at it now, the God-Beating Whip seemed somewhat coarse to him.

That’s right, coarse.

It was refined under the influence of the system after all, and its level couldn’t possibly compare to that of the lower-tier Great Saint Artifact now in his possession.

As long as he had sufficient materials, Ye Fan could now easily refine more powerful Great Saint Artifacts.

However, there was a problem that vexed Ye Fan. The prerequisite, enough Artifact Refining materials, was precisely what Ye Fan lacked most right now.

Without sufficient Artifact Refining materials, even with enough skill, he could not refine anything.

It was like having a game console but without a cartridge, causing Ye Fan to be extremely anxious.

Ultimately, Ye Fan’s foundation was too weak, and there was no time for resource accumulation.

The Trans-Sun Saint had left Ye Fan with some Artifact Material, including some which could be used for refining Great Saint Artifacts, but it was far from enough for a complete Great Saint Artifact.

If he wanted to refine something, he needed to come up with other methods.

For example, he could “borrow” some from other Saints.

Thinking of borrowing, Ye Fan naturally thought of the two “good brothers” he’d just made friends with.

If they had some, they should lend him some, right!

Of course, Ye Fan assured them that he would definitely return what he borrowed.

The promise to repay loans would indeed make it easier for him to borrow in the future!

Ye Fan suddenly remembered that his two good brothers were using top-tier Holy Artifacts.

In the peripheral region of the Sea of Primordial Chaos, there were basically no Great Saint Level Artifact Refiners.

Asking a Great Saint Level Artifact Refiner to help refine artifacts with their status; they were not qualified enough!

After some time getting to know them, Ye Fan was already familiar with the two individuals, Bei Tong and Cloud Harmony Holy person.

He quickly went to seek them out.

These two Great Saints had been having a good time recently. Whenever they found a target, Ye Fan would personally take action to resolve it, and they would also get some benefits.

This kind of good thing, they hoped it would never end.

There were no dangers, and the benefits were even greater than before.

Where else could they find such a good thing if not by following Ye Fan?

“Friend Qianye, you’re looking for me?”

Just as Bei Tong had finished absorbing the Chaos Pearl, he heard that Ye Fan was looking for him and immediately came out to greet him.

“Bei Tong, do you have the materials to refine Great Saint Artifacts?”

Ye Fan asked straightforwardly.

When Bei Tong Saint heard Ye Fan’s words, he instantly became excited, his eyes lighting up.

“Brother Qianye, do you know an Artifact Refiner who can craft Great Saint Artifacts?”

“I don’t.” Ye Fan shook his head.

The Saint Bei Tong’s eyes immediately dimmed.

Without enough resources, their cultivation level is insufficient.

These Saints are in the most awkward situation.

They risk their lives for a little resource. Saints from big forces usually have the chance to obtain things like Great Saint Artifacts almost immediately upon entering the early Saint Stage.

But for Saints like them, even in the late Saint Stage, they might not qualify to have someone help them refine artifacts.

“Well, I don’t know any refiner, but I can refine it by myself!”

Ye Fan subtly boasted with a slight smile.

The eyes of Bei Tong Saint widened instantly as he stared at Ye Fan in shock.

Being powerful is one thing, but refining a Great Saint Artifact is another.

Bei Tong Saint suddenly felt as if he had lived his years in vain.

Why is there such a huge difference between individuals?

Previously, he would sometimes feel proud about his Saint status, but since being repeatedly surpassed by Ye Fan, he realized the disparity between individuals.

Soon, Bei Tong Saint made up his mind.

He must hold onto Ye Fan. This was a rare opportunity for him.

“Brother Qianye, please pity me. I’ve spent many years just wanting a Great Saint Artifact, I….”

“Hey, hey, hey, stop it, I didn’t say that I wouldn’t help you refine it!”

Ye Fan kicked off the hugging Bei Tong Saint with a look of disgust.

“Really?”

Bei Tong Saint quickly stood up straight, as if the recent incident had never happened.

“I can help you with the refining, but you need to prepare the materials and the fee for my service cannot be less!”

Ye Fan rubbed his fingers together meaningfully.

“No problem!”

Bei Tong Saint flipped his hand, and a pile of resources appeared on the ground.

Sky-Connect Stone, Holy Gold of the North Sea…

The materials on the ground were nearly enough to forge four to five Great Saint Artifacts.

Could Bei Tong Saint be this wealthy?

Ye Fan blushed a bit at this discovery!

Back then, when he saw two Saints using the Supreme Saint artifacts, he thought they were poor.

But now it seems, the real poor person is himself!

Ye Fan pondered whether he should become a Robin Hood and rob the rich to help the poor.

Of course, the poor person being helped here would be him.

Feeling Ye Fan’s measuring gaze, Bei Tong Saint shivered, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

“I can help you refine a Great Saint Artifact with your materials, but you cannot tell others about it.”

If his identity as a Great Saint level Artifact Refiner is exposed, there will be endless troubles afterward.

People from the Ye Family have not yet been fully armed, so Ye Fan is not in the mood to refine Great Saint Artifacts for others.

Even if he wants to make money by refining, it has to wait until he has refined everything he needs first.

“Brother Qianye, I will definitely not leak this out. But sooner or later, Cloud Harmony Saint will find out!”

Cloud Harmony Saint and Bei Tong Saint often act together, and once Bei Tong Saint uses the Great Saint Artifact, it is bound to be exposed.

“That’s fine, if he needs it, I can help him as well!”

According to the price of a Great Saint level Artifact Refiner, with three units of materials, one could refine a Great Saint Artifact, and this was a normal price, and yet the success was not even guaranteed.

For Ye Fan, using four units of resources for one Great Saint Artifact is not too excessive, as he guarantees success.

Great Saint level Artifact Refiners are in high demand.

If Ye Fan is willing to do it, Saints from nearby realms would invariably come knocking.

Moreover, Ye Fan is well aware that this matter can’t be hidden for long.

After all, once Bei Tong Saint and Cloud Harmony Saint get their Great Saint Artifacts, they wouldn’t be able to keep them hidden forever!
