Chapter 433, Verifying Identity

Translator: Silavin

 

The Lu Ban’s Inheritance was of utmost importance to the Gongshu Clan!

 

Speaking of which, the Gongshu Clan was also considered a branch of the Lu Ban Sect.

 

If the young man before them truly obtained Lu Ban’s Inheritance and inherited the position of Sect Master, then even the Gongshu Clan would have to respect him as their superior.

 

Of course, Qin Yichen would need to have the qualifications to convince them.

 

“Is this… enough?” Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Qin Yichen took out the Master Craftsman’s Hammer and held it in his hand.

 

“The Master Craftsman’s Hammer?” Immediately, a wave of surprised exclamations erupted around him. Numerous pairs of eyes stared at the peculiar hammer head with utter shock.

 

Even the Patriarch of the Gongshu Clan and the Elders could no longer maintain their composure.

 

They were, after all, extremely familiar with the Master Craftsman’s Hammer. It was the Sacred Artifact of the Lu Ban Sect, held by the Sect Master of each generation.

 

At this moment, Qin Yichen became the centre of attention.

 

Strictly speaking, the Master Craftsman’s Hammer in his hand became the focus of everyone’s attention.

 

“How is it possible that he is the…” Not far away, the girl named Zhiyi opened her small mouth, opening and closing it repeatedly, her face full of surprise and shock.

 

As a member of the Gongshu Clan, she of course knew what the Master Craftsman’s Hammer represented.

 

At this moment, she seemed to understand why Qingshan addressed Qin Yichen as ‘Sir’.

 

If Qin Yichen was the owner of this Master Craftsman’s Hammer, then he naturally deserved the title ‘Sir’.

 

“May I… have a look at it?” The Patriarch could no longer remain indifferent. He quickly walked up to Qin Yichen and asked.

 

To be fair, although he was the Patriarch of the Gongshu Clan, this was his first time seeing the real Master Craftsman’s Hammer. He was naturally excited about it.

 

Of course, he also needed to authenticate whether this Master Craftsman’s Hammer was genuine.

 

“Here.” Qin Yichen smiled and handed the Master Craftsman’s Hammer to him.

 

He was not afraid of the Gongshu Clan seizing the Master Craftsman’s Hammer by force. Without Master Lu Ban’s Inheritance, even possessing the Master Craftsman’s Hammer would be of no use whatsoever.

 

The moment he took the Master Craftsman’s Hammer, the Patriarch of the Gongshu Clan’s arm noticeably trembled with excitement.

 

Although this was his first time handling the Master Craftsman’s Hammer, after grasping it, he was certain this was the genuine article!

 

First, the feel of it was impeccable.

 

Second, the patterns were flawless.

 

Third, the lines were all perfect.

 

He could not find even the slightest, tiniest flaw on the Master Craftsman’s Hammer.

 

This was Master Lu Ban’s lifelong masterpiece.

 

If there was anything in this world that could be called absolutely perfect, it would definitely be this… the Master Craftsman’s Hammer!

 

The Patriarch’s palm trembled slightly as he stroked the Master Craftsman’s Hammer, his movements very light and careful, while his eyes welled up with tears.

 

“This… this is really the Master Craftsman’s Hammer…”

 

His unusual reaction immediately caused quite a commotion around them.

 

It should be known that in their Gongshu Clan’s ancestral shrine, they enshrined a model of the Master Craftsman’s Hammer. It could be said that the Master Craftsman’s Hammer represented their faith, their spiritual sustenance.

 

Now, the Master Craftsman’s Hammer had finally appeared before them!

 

Immediately, their gazes toward Qin Yichen underwent some subtle changes.

 

Most people held a reverent heart toward the Master Craftsman’s Hammer.

 

However, some had other thoughts… After all, didn’t this mean they have to respect this unfamiliar young man as their superior?

 

“It is indeed the Master Craftsman’s Hammer…”

 

After a while, the Patriarch spoke. Although he had already tried his best to suppress his emotions, his voice still carried a tremor.

 

This statement undoubtedly confirmed Qin Yichen’s identity – the Sect Master of the Lu Ban Sect!

 

“May I ask where Sir obtained the Ancestor’s Inheritance?” The Patriarch asked with an excited heart.

 

This question was also what everyone wanted to know, so after he asked, the scene gradually quieted down as they waited for Qin Yichen’s answer.

 

“Twilight City, Twilight Tower…” Qin Yichen answered truthfully.

 

He also sighed inwardly. Actually, the Great Prosperity Grand Empire was not too far from here. If the Gongshu Clan’s Ancestors had not left behind a precept forbidding them from leaving, how could the Lu Ban’s Inheritance have fallen to his hands?

 

Qin Yichen did not mention too much about the first and second floors of the Twilight Tower, only describing what he saw and experienced on the third floor.

 

When people heard that Qin Yichen had accepted the Lu Ban’s Inheritance and became the 32nd Sect Master of the Lu Ban Sect, many immediately burst into clamour.

 

“How can someone with absolutely no foundation in Crafting be qualified to become the Sect Master of the Lu Ban Sect!?” A young man stepped forward and raised an objection. His gaze toward Qin Yichen was clearly full of defiance.

 

“That’s Gongshu Tianhua…” Amid the discussions of the surrounding crowd, Qin Yichen learned of this young man’s name and understood that he was among the top three talents of the younger generation in the Gongshu Clan.

 

Despite his young age, the Puppets he crafted had power above the Martial King Realm.

 

This was a terrifying accomplishment.

 

As long as he was given enough materials and time, he alone would be sufficient to destroy a Grand Empire!

 

This was the strength of a young talent from the Gongshu Clan.

 

After hearing about him, Qin Yichen also inwardly nods in amazement.

 

If a young talent was already like this, then what about the strength of these Elders standing here?

 

Presumably, destroying the Three Sects and One Manor would not be a difficult task for them!

 

If not for their ancestral precepts, the hegemon of this region would definitely be the Gongshu Clan!

 

This made Qin Yichen feel even more strongly that he needed to bring the Gongshu Clan under his control.

 

With such a powerful Force, he would have the confidence to face the Feng Family and the Ouyang Family!

 

“Tianhua, do not be disrespectful!” The Patriarch, Gongshu Yushan, frowned and rebuked him.

 

They were all Lu Ban Descendants. Although they did not have to address Qin Yichen as Sect Master, they must respect him as their superior. Moreover, the Gongshu Clan had ancestral precepts that members of the Gongshu Clan must obey the orders of the owner of the Master Craftsman’s Hammer!

 

“Patriarch, I think what Tianhua says makes sense.” The Eighth Elder stepped forward to speak for Gongshu Tianhua, saying, “All things in the world should be possessed by those with ability. How can an outsider who knows nothing about Crafting be worthy of holding the Master Craftsman’s Hammer?”

 

This statement immediately gained the approval of most people.

 

In their view, Qin Yichen was merely someone who opportunistically stole the inheritance.

 

Their clamour made Gongshu Yushan frown even deeper.

 

They all overlooked one point: Qin Yichen had obtained the inheritance by passing through trials. Although he was not clear about the content of those trials, how could trials of Lu Ban’s Inheritance be simple?

 

If they were truly simple, the Master Craftsman’s Hammer would have been taken away long ago during these long years.
