Qi Tian spoke as he pointed to the puppet beneath his feet, showing no intention of dismounting. He had Uncle-Master He looking up at him the entire time.
Although Uncle-Master He found it improper to be looked up at, especially within the Misty Immortal Palace, the thought of Qi Tian's identity compelled him to remain silent.
The Young Master of the Artifact Sect was far more significant than an outer elder like himself.
Setting aside status, his cultivation was also inferior to Qi Tian's.
Even…
He felt he might not be a match for the puppet at Qi Tian's feet.
Although both were experts in the Divine Realm, the puppet beneath Qi Tian's feet gave him a tremendous sense of pressure.
"Ah, it's nothing. We are brothers among the great sects. Nephew Qi, just speak your mind. We will certainly help wherever we can," Elder He said.
"That's good to hear. This puppet of mine has just been calibrated. It's a Divine Realm puppet, so I wanted to find some skilled Divine Realm senior brothers or uncles to help. As you know, in our Artifact Sect, we are not particularly skilled in hand-to-hand combat. We only know how to forge small items. When it comes to sparring, we are completely clueless."
Qi Tian was practically stating that the people of the Misty Immortal Palace were proficient in this area.
This subtly veiled compliment made Uncle-Master He feel a little proud. After all, the Artifact Sect was now much more powerful than the Misty Immortal Palace, and often the Immortal Palace people had to defer to the Artifact Sect's wishes.
However, Qi Tian, as the Young Master, had shown them ample respect, and Uncle-Master He felt quite comfortable.
"No problem, no problem," Uncle-Master He immediately replied. "A Divine Realm puppet. Nephew Qi Tian, what do you think of this old man? I am not talented. Although I am sixty years old and have been in the Divine Realm for over twenty years without finding an opportunity for advancement, my control over Divine Realm power ranks among the best in the Misty Immortal Palace."
As he spoke, the胖师兄 (Fat Senior Brother) bowed his head at the side, not daring to contradict him.
Could it be that he didn't rank among the best?
How many Divine Realm experts did they have in the Immortal Palace now? And his master was a veteran Divine Realm expert, so naturally, he would rank among the best.
"Even better."
Upon hearing that Uncle-Master He himself would be the quality inspector, Qi Tian became much happier. This was an unexpected bonus. He had thought they would send some newly ascended disciple to try it out.
This puppet was the final form after countless modifications he had made with Lin Xiao and Ye Chen over the past few days.
This was also one that could finally force Lin Xiao to use his spiritual power.
Of course, this was also part of a transaction with Lin Xiao.
The transaction was simple.
Qi Tian was to bring this level of puppet to the Misty Immortal Palace to find an unlucky individual. He was to see if this unlucky person, acting as a quality inspector, could be defeated by the puppet, or rather… could escape unharmed.
This unlucky individual had to be a Divine Realm expert.
This was Lin Xiao's way of measuring the difference between himself and a Divine Realm expert.
Since he could not directly spar with the people of the Misty Immortal Palace for now, he could only use this method to make a proper comparison.
"Come, nephew, this way please. There is a special arena over there. Let me also have a good look at the latest achievement of the Artifact Sect." Uncle-Master He made a gesture of invitation.
