Jin Hui and the others cast their gazes upon the badge on Han Muye’s chest, curiosity evident on their faces.
A level nine refiner.
To be honest, he was considered skilled among refining masters.
However, such skill couldn’t compare to the powerful lord before them who could combine Primordial-level battle puppets.
“I was certified before, but later I didn’t go to the main headquarters of the Alliance of Refining Masters, so I never continued with the certification.” Han Muye noticed their curiosity, speaking as he set up a communication array.
Cold Moon City originally had an array that was connected to several major alliances.
Later, because Cold Moon City kept falling, many strong individuals from the four major alliances had their eyes on Cold Moon City, forcing Jin Hui and the others to break these arrays.
As a result, although information within the city became more closed off due to the lack of contact with various alliances, it helped protect Cold Moon City from some coveting eyes.
Now, Han Muye needed to re-establish the arrays to apply for patents.
Fortunately, he was the chief of the Pagoda City’s Alliance of Refining Masters and was very familiar with such arrays. Otherwise, he would not have been able to set them up.
Very few people could access these arrays.
This made Jin Hui and the others even more curious.
Their lord was only a level nine refiner. How could he set up such an array?
“Buzz!”
In the hall, the array activated, forming pillars of light.
In just a moment, seven refiners with divine badges on their chests appeared.
Some of these divine-level artificers held tools for crafting, some held books, and others were still in their pajamas, as if not fully awake.
Seeing Han Muye, everyone was stunned.
“Master Han?”
“Master Han, did you set up the patent application array?”
“Hey, if I knew it was Master Han, I wouldn’t have bothered coming. You could just say a word, and it would pass, right?”
These divine-level refiners were clearly familiar with Han Muye. They sat down and started to chat.
This scene left Jin Hui and the others bewildered.
Although they were not refiners, they were familiar with the trade to some extent.
Especially patent applications for refiners, which were known to be rigorous trials.
But now, watching their city lord’s trial, it felt more like a casual conversation.
“Who’s going to apply today, Master Han?”
“By the way, Master Han, the Muming Academy in Muming City has had quite a few innovations this year. I wonder if they will catch your eye?”
These trials, which should have been impartial and authoritative, were now extremely humble in front of Han Muye.
There was no choice; after all, he was the big investor?
This year’s 100 billion hasn’t been distributed yet.
“Let Master Chen Mao and the others have a look. As long as it’s innovative enough, they won’t overlook it.” Han Muye’s reply made the recommended divine-level refiner smile.
The others looked at each other, straightened up, and waited for Han Muye to arrange for the refiners to participate in the trial.
This kind of thing had been rare in recent years. In previous years, there were at least dozens of occasions annually.
Han Muye activated the array and let the refiners of the workshop participate in the trial to apply for patents.
Currently, there were nearly 2,000 refining masters with patents in the Jujin Trading Company.
Most of these patents were related to improvements made to the crafting process by the Microscopic Eye.
Such patent ideas were never lacking buyers.
In recent years, Han Muye hadn’t been paying much attention to matters within the workshop. Many of the patent applications were arranged by Chen Mao and Ma Mingyuan.
As for the first one to amass billions, Yu Changdao had already gone to an academy in a big city to practice,
His position in the workshop had been reserved for him until he returned from his practice.
“I’m the one who applied for the patent today.”
Han Muye spoke softly.
The seven divine-level refiners were stunned and looked up.
Han Muye hadn’t stopped applying for patents.
The Microscopic Eye had made Han Muye the richest refiner in the Alliance.
After that, he applied for at least a dozen more extremely lucrative patents.
But in the past 20 years, Han Muye hadn’t applied for any patents.
“Master Han, are you serious?” A divine-level refiner in a black robe with a golden crown on his head stood up, looking at Han Muye.
The others also became solemn.
Han Muye nodded.
Then several of them exchanged glances.
“Ahem, Master Han, please wait a moment.”
“Master Han, wait a moment. I’ll invite the Elders over.’
“Master Han, I’ll go back and tidy up my clothes. I’ll be right back.” Instantly, the seven judges for patent applications disappeared.
This scene surprised Jin Hui and the others.
What was the status of their City Lord in the Alliance of Refining Masters?
There was no mention of a chief in the Alliance of Refining Masters; those who wielded power were the Elders.
Many things were resolved by the Elder Council.
But those who could make the Elders appear were those who could change the situation of the refiners in the Galaxy Universe.
A patent application from a level nine refiner didn’t need to disturb the elders, right?
Han Muye waited silently.
Jin Hui and the others in the hall also waited curiously on the side.
But after a while, several figures appeared.
These individuals exuded extraordinary aura and carried an awe-inspiring presence that made people dare not look directly at them.
Seeing Han Muye, they smiled and nodded before taking their seats.
On the other side, the judges for the patent applications who had disappeared earlier returned, their clothes much tidier than before.
Figures flew down one after another.
From the initial seven judges to more than 20, then 40, and finally 80…
Hundreds of divine-level refiners had come to watch the patent application trial..
