Hao Ren watched as the people left the Iron Mountain City and then he took a deep breath as he sensed the spirit phantom of the Refining Saint calm down. He looked around and found that almost all of the refiners were looking at him and Hao Ren cupped his fists as he said, "To all the people who are following the path of refining artifacts to seek the Dao. I wish you don't ever come across a person who will wield your refined artifact against yourself."
His words caused the people to think for a moment, and one of the most opportunistic person replied, "Indeed, I understand what you mean, Grandmaster Ren. You are the youngest of us all, and also have the potential to reach the apex of the path as an artifact refiner.
Your glory is the glory of all the artifact refiners, and similarly your humiliation is also ours to share. From today onwards, I will not be refining any artifact, weapon or even a simple tool for a cultivator who is affiliated with the Northern Holy-land."
