It is incredibly difficult for a cultivator at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer to refine a Spiritual Artifact on their own.
Steward Cai was well aware of this. It was a test of a cultivator's every aspect, especially their skill and talent in Artifact Refining.
Since this was Elder Xiong's test for Fang Yun, the Spiritual Artifact had to be refined by Fang Yun alone.
'And as for assisting Fang Yun with the refining?'
Steward Cai felt his own Artifact Refining skills weren't quite up to the task. If he were to assist, he might actually cause problems. Only a Steward with greater skill than his could truly be of help to Fang Yun.
By successfully refining the Spiritual Artifact and passing the test, Fang Yun would naturally become Elder Xiong Xingfeng's disciple.
