The Ouyang Family remained in the Grand Sky Sect.

The news of the assessment at the Grand Sky Hall quickly spread throughout the sect.

"What the heck? Cloud Piercing Hammer Technique? Holy Heart Spirit Infusion? That's terrifying!"

"I never would have guessed that the Ouyang siblings were hiding such formidable abilities."

"If we're talking about terrifying, it's Senior Brother Xinghe who's truly terrifying. When we mocked the Ouyang siblings before, Senior Brother Xinghe was the first to stand up and scold us. At the time, I didn't quite believe him when he said that the foundation of a thousand-year family was strong, but now it seems Senior Brother Xinghe has eyes like a torch."

"You're damn right! Senior Brother Xinghe's keen eye for people has long been renowned."

"I heard that when Ouyang Ming's first attempt at crafting exploded, it was Senior Brother Xinghe who fought hard to get him a second chance. Without that second chance, we might have missed out on such a hidden dragon and young phoenix!"

"Indeed, indeed... I was there at the time, and I thought Senior Brother Xinghe was deliberately favoring the Ouyang Family. Now I realize I was narrow-minded. Senior Brother Xinghe is of such character, always fair and just, how could he be biased?"

The disciples of the Grand Sky Sect were all in awe of Senior Brother Xinghe's discerning eye and his incredible ability to recognize talent.

Naturally, the news of the assessment also spread beyond the Grand Sky Sect.

When people heard that the Wang and Liu families had actually lost to the Ouyang Family, their first reaction was, "Are you kidding me?"

"Seriously? The Wang and Liu families, though not as good as the top spirit weapon families, losing to the Ouyang Family? How is that possible?"

"Does the Ouyang Family even have anyone left alive?"

"Weren't they all begging for food?"

"During the famine a couple of years ago, they sold all their tools. I even bought one. How could a tool-less Ouyang Family defeat the Wang and Liu families?"

But soon, the news of the Ouyang siblings' Cloud Piercing Hammer Technique and Holy Heart Spirit Infusion spread.

The various sects were dumbfounded upon hearing this news.

"A few Cloud Piercing Hammer Techniques? Holy Heart Spirit Infusion? How is this possible... The Ouyang Family hasn't produced such talent in two hundred years, and now two appear at once, and they're siblings?"

"After the Ouyang Family's decline, they joined other sects. Why did no one notice?"

"Not everyone can understand the Cloud Piercing Hammer Technique. I heard Gu Mingchao only discovered it after careful comparison. As for the Holy Heart Spirit Infusion, that girl's success rate is one in a hundred, and she just happened to succeed by sheer luck!"

"Yes, even other major sects, despite their strength, would find it hard to give the Ouyang Family so many opportunities to experiment."

"It's destiny! Destiny! Heaven itself is helping the Grand Sky Sect."

"It's not heaven helping the Grand Sky Sect, it's Chu Xinghe. I heard the Ouyang Family's first attempt exploded, but Chu Xinghe insisted on giving them a second chance, and it was this second chance that revealed the Holy Heart Spirit Infusion."

In Martial Emperor City, Zheng Yu was pounding his chest in frustration as he listened to the news brought to him.

At this moment, Zheng Yu was holding various pieces of information about the Ouyang Family.

Half a month ago, Zheng Yu heard about the Ouyang Family and believed that a thousand-year family like the Ouyang Family couldn't possibly be without any foundation. He was preparing to invite the Ouyang Family to Martial Emperor City, to keep them there and see how things developed.

But just as Zheng Yu was about to make a move, he received news that the Ouyang Family had gone to the Grand Sky Sect.

With the subsequent news, Zheng Yu was truly distressed.

"Senior Brother Xinghe is indeed unfathomable!"

"I thought I had discovered an opportunity, but I didn't realize that Senior Brother Xinghe was several steps ahead of me. Fortunately, I'm friends with Senior Brother Xinghe. If I were to become enemies with someone like him... hissing..."

The outside world was shocked by the Ouyang siblings' affairs, while within the Grand Sky Sect.

Chu Xinghe was walking through the sect with the members of the Ouyang Family, who were now dressed in the attire of the Grand Sky Sect.

"From now on, you can't call me Xinghe Brother, you have to call me Senior Brother Xinghe." Wearing the core disciple's attire, Ouyang Ming felt proud for the first time.

Beside him, Ouyang Ling, also in core disciple attire, felt equally proud.

The other members of the Ouyang Family had all changed into the regular disciple attire of the Grand Sky Sect.

From this moment on, they had all joined the Grand Sky Sect, but the Sect Master decreed that the Ouyang Family could still retain their family name and continue to call themselves the Ouyang Family externally.

The inheritance of a thousand-year family is not easy, and this decree from the Sect Master made the Ouyang Family disciples deeply grateful.

"Today, I have prepared some gifts for you." With a wave of his hand, Chu Xinghe had several space rings brought over by the disciples of the Grand Sky Sect.

When the space rings were opened, countless tools for crafting spirit infusions appeared before the Ouyang Family.

Seeing the tools before them, everyone in the Ouyang Family was stunned.

Each tool was engraved with the Ouyang Family's mark; these were the tools they had sold to survive.

But today, Senior Brother Xinghe had bought them all back?

"Some have ended up in major sects or large families, but rest assured, the Grand Sky Sect will soon negotiate with them, and all the tools will be returned."

Chu Xinghe smiled.

Purchasing these tools had indeed cost him a fortune.

The tools sold by the Ouyang Family had changed hands countless times, and many had ended up in the hands of influential figures.

But so what?

The Grand Sky Sect was known for its wealth, and as long as the money was right, there was nothing they couldn't buy back.

Just buying back this batch of tools had cost Chu Xinghe an astronomical sum.

But so what? This wasn't about deliberately draining the sect's resources; it was about winning the hearts of the Ouyang Family for the sect.

Didn't you see the Sect Master and the Great Elder nodding repeatedly when they heard about this?

"Senior Brother Xinghe... I... I have nothing to repay you with. These are the remnants of our Ouyang Family's past, and for Senior Brother Xinghe to retrieve them for us truly makes me... Senior Brother Xinghe, I bow to you."

At this moment, Ouyang Ming was genuinely moved. To most people, these tools might just be tools.

But to the Ouyang Family, they were treasures passed down through generations, left by countless ancestors, and a testament to the family's most glorious era.

If it hadn't been for survival, Ouyang Ming would never have sold them.

Ouyang Ming knew that when they were sold, people called them worthless junk, but buying them back required an almost terrifying price.

Ouyang Ling, with tears in her eyes, said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xinghe. I have nothing to repay you with but myself..." Then she was silenced by her brother.

"Dream on! You think you can offer yourself? Have some self-awareness!"

The Ouyang Family collected these tools, which were incredibly precious to them, while Chu Xinghe led them forward.

"The Sect Master and the Great Elder want you to build a crafting site in the Spirit Crane Palace, but after discussing with them, we decided to create a separate crafting palace just for you!"

Chu Xinghe's words were shocking, leaving Ouyang Ming dumbfounded.

A crafting palace for the Ouyang Family?

The Grand Sky Sect had eighteen palaces, and if a new crafting palace was added, wouldn't that mean... in the future, he could stand on equal footing with the head elders of the other eighteen palaces?

Although the Ouyang Family was currently in decline, even if they established a crafting palace, it would be in name only. But Senior Brother Xinghe was essentially giving the Ouyang Family an unlimited future and promise!

Any of the eighteen palaces of the Grand Sky Sect was a top-tier existence outside, and even in the Ouyang Family's most glorious days, they couldn't compare to the Grand Sky Sect's eighteen palaces.

And now, the Ouyang Family had a chance to become the nineteenth palace of the Grand Sky Sect in the future!

Previously, the Sect Master and the Great Elder had approached Chu Xinghe, suggesting that the Ouyang Family be affiliated with the Spirit Crane Palace.

But Chu Xinghe wouldn't have it!

Affiliating with the Spirit Crane Palace would save a lot of money.

How could that deplete the sect's resources? So Chu Xinghe immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

After some persuasion from Chu Xinghe, the Sect Master and the Great Elder finally relented, agreeing to let the Ouyang Family choose a mountain to build their crafting palace. However, for the Ouyang Family to become the nineteenth palace, it would truly require strength to speak for itself.

This news caused quite a stir within the Grand Sky Sect.

To dare to stand up to the Sect Master and the Great Elder... probably only Senior Brother Xinghe could do that in the entire Grand Sky Sect.

And to make the Sect Master and the Great Elder back down, Senior Brother Xinghe was truly extraordinary.

For other disciples, the words of the Sect Master and the Great Elder were not up for discussion; they were orders to be followed.

For Ouyang Ming, the treatment of the Ouyang Family was no longer a matter of satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

"Senior Brother Xinghe is magnanimous. I, Ouyang Ming... no! I, Ouyang Brave Troops, will serve the sect with all my might... From today on, I am Ouyang Ming, styled Brave Troops! Thank you, Senior Brother Xinghe, for bestowing this name!"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Ouyang Ling, also incredulous, said, "Brother... why not offer me to Xing..." Then she was silenced by Ouyang Ming.

The Sect Master and the Great Elder waved their hands regarding the Ouyang Family's matters.

"Xinghe, you're in charge. Decide how to build and allocate resources."

After receiving the order, Chu Xinghe also chose a mountain for the Ouyang Family.

It was a small peak between the Spirit Crane Palace and the Grand Sky Palace, smaller than the other eighteen palaces, but its location was excellent, and the spiritual energy was extremely abundant.

As for building the crafting palace, Chu Xinghe was truly clueless about architecture, so he left it to Ouyang Ming to plan.

However, Chu Xinghe did have his requirements for the plan.

It must not be below the standard of the Medicine King Palace!

Our Grand Sky Sect has a reputation to uphold...

If it's too small, won't outsiders mock our sect's crafting palace for being petty?

Of course, the main reason was that the larger it was, the more it would consume.

For everything prepared for the future crafting palace of the Ouyang Family, Chu Xinghe chose the most top-tier options.

In short, a top-tier family deserves top-tier items, and that makes perfect sense.

In the following days, countless materials were transported to the crafting palace, and countless disciples of the Grand Sky Sect, who practiced earth-based techniques, once again demonstrated their ability to raise structures from the ground.

A vast and magnificent crafting palace was rapidly rising.

Ouyang Ming was dumbfounded by the influx of top-tier materials, which he had only heard of but never seen before.

As a result, Ouyang Ming set a new record by downing sixteen bowls of cold noodles at lunch.

Wherever the Cold Noodle Slayer went, the cafeteria chefs trembled!
