Chapter 476: Chapter 271: The Qi Fortune Wheel’s Gift

He Yan wanted to invite Zhong Yi to the Creation Gathering.

Zhong Yi was quite eager to connect with a Second Level Middle Tier Creator like He Yan.

So, he messaged He Yan, explaining that he and Song Zhixu had already arranged to attend the Creation Gathering together.

They were at the entrance of the Wanyu Creation Company right now.

Having already made plans with Song Zhixu, Zhong Yi wasn’t about to stand him up just for He Yan’s invitation.

If He Yan saw the message and didn’t mind Song Zhixu’s presence, he would naturally come over.

If He Yan didn’t want to be with Song Zhixu, Zhong Yi would just wait for another opportunity to connect with him.

Zhong Yi had just sent the message to He Yan, and he explained the situation to Song Zhixu.

Song Zhixu was more than willing to connect with a Second Level Creator like He Yan.

Truth be told, as a Director of the Wanyu Source Material Company, his status was on par with He Yan’s, even if his abilities as a Creator couldn’t compare.

"Haha, Younger Brother Zhong, every last one of those Second Level Creators is incredibly arrogant."

"In the past, unless you came to them humbly with materials they found interesting, they wouldn’t even give you the time of day."

"For He Yan to personally invite you to the Creation Gathering... don’t tell me he’s thinking of taking you as his disciple?"

"You’ve only just become a Creator. If you could become He Yan’s disciple, it would be an excellent thing for you."

"Even if He Yan’s methods of handling materials are different from yours, he’d still have no problem guiding you."

As he said this, Song Zhixu’s gaze toward Zhong Yi was tinged with envy.

If a Second Level Creator were willing to take him on at this moment, Song Zhixu would gladly become their disciple, even if they were only Low Tier and not Middle Tier.

Improving one’s abilities as a Creator was far more complex than simply raising one’s strength.

The scope of a Creator’s knowledge was simply too vast, and a master’s guidance could help one avoid countless wrong turns.

Many First Level Creators had gone down the wrong path, seeing no improvement in their abilities for hundreds, even thousands, of years.

Song Zhixu was telling Zhong Yi to seize the opportunity.

But Zhong Yi had no intention of becoming any Creator’s disciple.

’Unless a Second Level Peak or Third Level Creator is willing to take me as their disciple.’

’If I hadn’t just become a Creator, making me ineligible for the Level assessment, it’s not impossible that I could have been rated a Second Level Creator with my Soul Taming Seed and Flowing Soul Soil.’

"Hmph. Director Song, you’re a Creator now yourself. There’s no need to keep harping on about how arrogant we are."

"If any Tom, Dick, or Harry came asking you to concoct Potions, would you really be willing to help for free if there was no tangible benefit?"

As he spoke, He Yan shot a deliberate glare at Song Zhixu.

He Yan didn’t actually blame Song Zhixu for his words about Creators.

After all, even He Yan himself was well aware of how arrogant and rude the Creator community was.

However, in He Yan’s opinion, this was perfectly normal.

No matter how arrogant or rude Creators were as a group, the powerful and various factions would still eagerly seek them out.

It was all because Creators possessed genuine skill.

’What’s wrong with skilled people being a bit arrogant and rude?’

The reason He Yan was displeased with Song Zhixu was that he was trying to play matchmaker where he had no business doing so.

’I’d love to be Zhong Yi’s master, but without an assessment, I don’t know his skill level as a Creator.’

’But Zhong Yi evolved a Cangluo Scale Snake into a Spiritual Cang Law Snake, awakening its Law Snake Bloodline, in just over ten hours.’

’Based on that ability alone, I’m not qualified to be his master.’

He Yan had deliberately looked up information on Zhong Yi over the last few days.

What he found left him secretly astonished.

When Zhong Yi first logged onto the Virtual Source Network, his strength was only at the First Level.

While at the First Level, he was rated as a Zhenxing C Level Talent.

After advancing to the Second Level, he immediately obtained the badge of a Second Level Secret Realm Monopolizer.

After that, he participated in the Wanyu Creation Company’s assessment.

Before even taking the Creator assessment, he had already become a Steward at the Wanyu Source Material Company.

This track record proved that Zhong Yi was extremely young.

To become a Creator at such a young age, the most likely possibility was that Zhong Yi either had a Contract with a certain Guardian Beast or possessed a Bloodline that granted him the abilities of a Creator.

A figure like that was bound to rise to prominence in an extremely short time.

’Never mind whether Zhong Yi would even want me as his master.’

’If I took him on, and before long his abilities as a Creator surpassed my own...’

’...I’d become a laughingstock to who knows how many people.’

Song Zhixu and He Yan had crossed paths before.

Within the Wanyu Creation Company, many people secretly called He Yan the "stone-faced examiner."

Very few Creators managed to pass the assessments when He Yan served as the head examiner.

Song Zhixu wasn’t bothered by He Yan’s words.

Instead, he was a bit embarrassed about being overheard by He Yan himself while talking about him behind his back.

Song Zhixu cupped his hands toward He Yan and said with a smile,

"Master He, I became a Creator in an exam where you served as the head examiner."

"In a way, that makes you half a master to me."

"From now on, Zhong Yi and I will be as close as brothers."

"For Zhong Yi’s sake, I hope you can offer me a pointer or two in the Creator’s field in the future."

When it came to navigating social situations, Song Zhixu was an absolute veteran.

Song Zhixu was dead serious about befriending Zhong Yi, going out of his way to help him at every turn.
