Chapter 348: Chapter 207: The Foundation of Starlight City and the Star Emperor

After confirming that Tao En had become a Six-finger Creator, Star Night paused in thought for a moment before speaking.

"Xiaoyi, over the years, we at Starlight City have collected a total of seventy-three types of main ingredients for concocting Sixth Level Potions."

"Many of them are Foundation Level materials, which we spent a great deal of money to purchase from other federations."

"I have also personally collected twenty-three types of main ingredients for Sixth Level Potions. Keeping these ninety-six types of main ingredients is just letting them gather dust."

"It’s better to give them to Grandmaster Tao En to use and turn them into Potions."

"I’ll give these resources to you in a bit, and you can be the one to deliver them to Grandmaster Tao En."

The main ingredients for Sixth Level Potions that Starlight City had collected were purchased with funds pooled by all of its Celestial Destiny Seekers.

Regarding Star Night’s arrangement, neither Wen Tao nor Lin Zhuo, not even the money-grubbing Jin Cai, raised any objections.

They fully approved of Star Night’s decision!

The vast majority of these resources that could serve as main ingredients for Sixth Level Potions were materials, with only a small portion being Guardian Beasts capable of producing such materials.

These materials used as main ingredients for Sixth Level Potions were relatively easy to preserve.

As for the Guardian Beasts that could produce the materials, every single one was an extremely delicate creature.

They required dedicated Five-finger Creators to handle their daily care and maintenance.

Handing over these Guardian Beasts, which could produce main ingredients for Sixth Level Potions, to Tao En would also save Starlight City a huge expense.

Zhong Yi was deeply moved upon hearing this. Over ninety types of main ingredients for Sixth Level Potions was a vast collection of resources he could barely even imagine.

Star Night had unilaterally decided to give these resources to him, a decision filled with great esteem and trust.

If Tao En had only just become a Six-finger Creator, giving him so many main ingredients would be somewhat wasteful.

But Tao En was a Six-finger Middle Tier Creator who had condensed a Six-finger Dharma Aspect.

As he was now, Tao En’s success rate when concocting Sixth Level Potions was extremely high.

Zhong Yi had once asked Tao En about the level of the other six Six-finger Creators in the Xin Xia Federation.

Tao En had said that the vast majority of these six Six-finger Creators in the Xin Xia Federation were at the Six-finger Early Tier, with at most one or two having reached the Six-finger Middle Tier.

In his current state, Tao En could be considered the pinnacle of the Xin Xia Federation’s Creators!

After leaving the Star Frost Tower, Zhong Yi returned to his residence with a Storage Pouch in hand.

Upon arriving, Zhong Yi went straight to Tao En’s cultivation room.

Zhong Yi found that besides Zhao Kai, there was also an old man with a full head of white hair and a matching beard in Tao En’s cultivation room.

The old man stood beside Tao En, his eyes filled with fervent admiration as he gazed at the crystalline Potion in Tao En’s hand.

"Old Tao, to think that after becoming a Six-finger Creator, you can now concoct a Fifth Level Potion in just over twenty minutes."

"If I were to concoct this Harvest Potion, it would take me at least three hours."

At this, a nostalgic look appeared on the old man’s face.

"When the three of us first met, your Creator Level was the lowest."

"Now, you’ve left me and Old Zhou far behind. We could never hope to catch up to you now!"

Just as the white-haired and bearded old man finished speaking, he saw Zhong Yi enter the cultivation room.

The old man guessed Zhong Yi’s identity but didn’t rashly step forward to greet him.

Only after Tao En took the initiative to speak to Zhong Yi did the old man nod toward him with a hint of reverence. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Zhong Yi thought to himself, ’This old man must be one of the two Five-finger Creators Tao En summoned from Longya City to Starlight City.’

Among Creators, a difference in Tier created a vast disparity in status and position.

Lower-rank Creators were typically exceptionally respectful and deferential toward Upper-rank Creators.

This old man didn’t address Tao En as "Grandmaster," but rather called him "Old Tao."

This wasn’t because the old man disrespected Tao En; on the contrary, it was a sign of an extremely close relationship.

Their bond was so strong that the gap between their statuses no longer existed.

From the old man’s words, Zhong Yi understood that when he first met Tao En, Tao En hadn’t even been a Five-finger Creator yet.

Back then, Tao En’s mind was consumed with avenging his son.

The old man must have helped Tao En a great deal back then, and their relationship was extremely deep.

Moreover, after Tao En’s soul was injured, he had withstood pressure from Cao Xing’an’s side to secretly support Tao En all along.

Only someone like that was worthy of being called one of Tao En’s most trusted friends.

"Young Master, this is Keran. If I hadn’t asked him to come over and deliver a few Potions for me today, I still wouldn’t have known that he’d advanced to become a Five-finger High Tier Creator."

"This old fellow is quite smug, so it’s the perfect chance for me to show him the gap between him and a Six-finger Creator."

Keran was quite surprised to hear Tao En address Zhong Yi as "Young Master."

Keran knew Tao En was staying by Zhong Yi’s side, but he never expected Tao En’s role to be that of a Servant rather than an Honored Guest Elder.

This quietly changed Keran’s perception of Zhong Yi’s status.

Keran bowed very respectfully to Zhong Yi.

"Lord Su Sheng, thank you for healing the injuries to Old Tao’s soul."

"Zhou Bin and I followed Old Tao to Starlight City. From now on, we’ll essentially be working for him, and we’ll be helping you concoct Fifth Level Potions."

"In the future, if Zhou Bin or I get injured, I hope Lord Su Sheng will consider our hard work and agree to treat us."

Zhong Yi could clearly sense the change in Keran’s attitude toward him.

Every Five-finger Creator was a master who would be sought out by countless people from the moment they opened their eyes each day.
