Zhuge Lan's inheritance of the Zhuge family's legacy had been a certainty from the moment of his birth.
Today, he had formally taken over the Zhuge family.
...
Qi Tian reluctantly hung up the phone. All his materials were used up. He called Lin Xiao, who promised to arrange for a batch of materials to be sent over immediately. In the meantime, Qi Tian had nothing to do.
He could only stare blankly at his hand or occasionally check on his puppets.
Beyond that, he could do nothing and could not leave his room.
"Bored..."
He slumped down. He only felt not bored when he was doing something he loved, and that was refining artifacts. In the past, present, and future, his only interest was in refining artifacts. As long as he had enough materials, he could refine artifacts continuously without eating, drinking, or sleeping.
It was this fanatical dedication that had made him the Young Sect Master of the Artifact Sect at such a young age. For years, every day had been spent in constant refinement and modification.
However, this was the first time he had experienced a period without materials.
Most importantly, he had thoroughly researched everything he could from the data on his computer these past few days. But without sufficient new materials, he couldn't test his findings.
Any test would inevitably cause his right hand to collapse. Without a spare right arm, it would impact his artifact refining.
So, he lay on the table now, staring blankly at the data on his computer screen.
"Have you never thought of going out?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded beside his ear.
The instant the voice spoke, all his puppets surrounded Qi Tian, and his right hand clenched into a fist.
There was no human presence.
He immediately put on a pair of glasses he had specifically made to see through shadowy assassins, capable of thermal imaging and detecting spiritual energy fluctuations.
Yet, even with these glasses, he saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"At such a young age, with such cultivation and achievements, staying here is merely wasting your talent."
The voice spoke again.
Still, he couldn't pinpoint the source.
"Who are you? An Shadow Assassin? Or do you also want to trade with me for Sun Primordial Gold?"
Qi Tian was not afraid, but he detested this feeling, which meant he had lost control of the situation.
"Sun Primordial Gold?"
The voice was clearly taken aback. "Someone actually wants to trade with you for Sun Primordial Gold?"
"Yes, someone did."
Qi Tian replied.
"That is an unparalleled treasure, a material for artifact refining. If it ranks second, then there is no first in this world." The voice clearly understood Sun Primordial Gold and was even more astonished that someone was willing to trade it with Qi Tian.
"Indeed. Unfortunately, I didn't agree."
Speaking of this matter, Qi Tian scratched his ear in frustration, regretting it deeply. Why hadn't he tried harder to keep that person back then? It was Sun Primordial Gold! Missing this opportunity meant it would never come again.
"You didn't agree?"
This time, the voice was even more incredulous. "You refused Sun Primordial Gold? Are you truly from the Artifact Sect?"
