"That's absurd."
In the quiet room, Ning Zheng slowly opened his eyes.
He walked out, looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, glancing towards the direction of his adoptive father's Paper House, shrouded in whiteness.
His adoptive father always bragged about how formidable he was as a Tribulation Cultivator.
Now, finally, he had seen the valiant figure robbing everything in sight.
He nearly even ended up robbing his own people.
These bizarre experiences had given Ning Zheng a general understanding.
Cultivating in the Three Elents Realm is incredibly dangerous and depends heavily on luck!
The clouds along the way are perilous, often accompanied by images of ancient mirages and so Tribulation Cultivators.
The areas reached randomly are even more hazardous.
If one's luck runs out, others might pluck the Three Flowers from you and consu them, causing severe injury, regression in cultivation, and stagnation of the soul!
No wonder this Three Elents Realm can block so many people.
It's too absurd...
Just like venturing into trials.
Ning Zheng's luck was fairly good.
If not, with the Three Flowers plucked away, he would probably have to endure the sensation of being chewed by a monster in a bloody maw, akin to a cow chewing peony.
However, Ning Zheng also speculated.
Those Major Sects and Holy Lands probably have so ans to establish a safe zone within their nurseries, allowing their sect mbers to safely cultivate the Three Flowers and absorb the Essence of Sun and Moon.
And for those without ancestral backing?
Sorry!
Those like Ning Zheng, traveling the unorthodox path, can only rely on luck to grow the Three Flowers!
Indeed, this world is about one's background; with power backing you, you can cultivate better.
After all, their ancestors got through with luck and naturally protected their descendants.
Without ancestors, one can only try to beco wealthy first-generation mbers.
However, Ning Zheng was indifferent to this:
"Once enough is accumulated, I can start using Qi Fortune Value."
"Theoretically, with a hundred thousand, I can breakthrough a minor stage in the Three Elents Realm, but how exactly to break through? Unknown!"
"After all, it's not about breaking through ridians; it's about repeatedly venturing, returning, digesting, then venturing again, and digesting."
"Let first accumulate twenty thousand Qi Fortune Value and test the progress."
Ning Zheng even felt that accumulating Qi Fortune Value is one thing; daily cultivation shouldn't be neglected either.
Because his daily 2350 Qi Fortune Value is already quite impressive.
The probability of encountering danger is very low.
It's still necessary to cultivate the Three Flowers, doing so 'photosynthesis' daily to strengthen himself little by little.
However, the cultivation of the Three Elents Realm can wait; currently, there are more important matters to attend to:
"Tomorrow, eting the royal figure, who knows the process, need to ascend the mountain to check the preparations."
...
Sword Casting Manor.
Blacksmith shop.
As Ning Zheng arrived, a group of people were already holding a short sword of black Magic Copper, studying it constantly.
Just ca out of the quenching process, now being polished.
Due to the rarity of the material, only a small amount of black Magic Copper was forged.
Seeing Ning Zheng's arrival, Daojiu enthusiastically approached Ning Zheng, introducing the function of black Magic Copper:
"This is absolutely the best foundational material for Ash Artifacts, the best material for storing Ghosts."
"We compared with records of various high-grade materials in the books, it's on par with high-tier materials, yet uniquely belongs to the specialized material of Ash Artifacts."
Quite like Ning Zheng expected.
Shoushan Copper certainly has differences.
The Shoushan Copper from living people and the Shoushan Copper from the Ghost King, which is better for storing the Artifact Spirit of Ghosts?
The answer is obvious.
Although this isn't a true Ghost King but a half-living being, it is undoubtedly the most suitable.
Ning Zheng didn't know if there were such rare cases in past history.
The Ghost King letting soone have the Three Flowers and that person being mined.
Yet even if they exist, human history has very few instances, and Ghost Kings awakening is already a rare affair!
Therefore, his black Magic Copper is very likely monopolistic.
Of course.
The current effect seems only useful for living blacksmith forging.
Whether normal forging techniques have a boost remains unknown.
"Do you think this black Magic Copper can make our manor look more prestigious?"
Ning Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"I believe so!"
Daojiu replied excitedly:
"Like with the Water Army, this can make our manor seem more mysterious, with rich heritage, others can't guess what this material is."
Daojiu had matured, now a rather qualified middle-grade blacksmith.
And to mingle with other Divine Craftsn without revealing himself, he did much studying.
The Fang Family may not have produced Divine Craftsn.
But the blacksmith legacy Ning Zheng gave still had plenty of miscellaneous theories.
What materials, formulas, techniques are used for each Divine Weapon, where materials are hunted from Demon Kings...
These Divine Weapon forging processes broadened his perspective.
At least, he learned a lot of professional terminology.
He lacked practical skills, but using these terms and processes, he could impersonate a mysterious person.
Besides, it wasn't an interrogation assembly.
Among so many Divine Craftsn, no one would pester you with questions!
Most would share ideas, discuss how to make Sun Moon, and Ning Zheng could blend in with the crowd, hold his ground easily.
Ning Zheng nodded, "Yes, learn more terminology, our manor will be renowned across the Nine-State, and beco the Divine Craftsman Manor, counting on you!"
"If it works out, you'll be the chief Divine Craftsman Master, and when we beco the Holy Land for countless blacksmiths, it'll be your contribution!"
Hearing the head steward regard him with such importance, Daojiu imdiately showed an expression of being overwheld.
"I will try my best!" he felt a surge of enthusiasm.
Saint Order.
Blacksmiths forging Sun and Moon together!
Thinking of being involved in an unprecedentedly massive event, entering the history of the Nine-State ga, Daojiu couldn't help but tear up.
Later, as the ga expands and officially launches.
Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people entering this manor will witness the mont when Daojiu, the chief blacksmith, changes the course of history.
He gets excited just thinking about his "Statue of Liberty" standing in the manor, even in the square of the capital, being one of the divine craftsn creating the essence of sun and moon.
Fa through the ages!
Even in the ga, it's worth bragging about for a lifeti!
Ning Zheng watched Daojiu beco inexplicably excited, sowhat puzzled but still patted his shoulder: "Keep up the good work!"
Leaving the blacksmith shop.
Ning Zheng returned to the long-lost enchanter's area.
On the enchanter's small square, a group of people were frantically committing suicide and enchanting.
Unfortunately, the enchanter leader Su Yuniang had fled.
Currently managed temporarily by Immortal Aunt: "Sir, we are working hard for the capital!"
Ning Zheng nodded, pretending to be deep: "Explain carefully."
Immortal Aunt replied seriously:
"We are in a wave of suicide craze."
"Nurturing more twin artifact spirits."
"Spirits of any character and hobby can be offered for the current saint to choose."
"Even if the saint doesn't need them, we can also promote them to other cultivators in the capital, fiercely establishing our prestige."
"On this, once we contact Sword Fairy, we'll communicate reasonably!"
...
They began preparing a batch of artifact spirits for this event!
This card-drawing spirit campaign belongs to the spenders.
Most people got a 500 magic coin voucher, and ran off to open Soul Separation Flower Spiritual Root, with no spare money left.
Although now spiritual root prices are plumting, a middle grade Soul Separation Flower and Blood Separation Flower only cost 600 magic coins each.
But each ti drawing a card costs 600 spiritual roots 50 to increase resurrection probability 10× resurrection tis.
Drawing a card amounts to more than 700 magic coins, with only a ten percent chance of getting the embers of a middle grade spiritual root!
Moreover, you need two to cycle!
The cost is too high!
Of course, the 700 plus isn't a total loss.
Even if you don't get embers, a middle grade water army demon beast corpse from the 700 plus.
Once forged into a middle grade magical artifact, one can sell for thousands of magic coins.
It's still a profit.
But the problem is, most of these people don't have the funds to cycle this sum!
Not to ntion, they currently lack the capability for mass production of middle grade magical artifacts.
The digestion speed of middle grade materials is insufficient.
Ning Zheng heard and nodded imdiately, "So what are you planning to do?"
"We don't intend to use middle grade spiritual roots, we're planning to create low-spec mixed spiritual roots divine weapons."
The dical Fairy said: "These spiritual roots require no money... we only need resurrection fees, plus 50 magic coins!"
"This kind of artifact spirit, with Yin and Yang cycle, should be enough to make a low-level divine weapon."
Ning Zheng felt that made sense.
Divine weapon, it's just a title.
It refers to an extrely terrifying and powerful divine technique attached, with no realm requirents.
For instance, if this divine weapon is forged using dragon bones, it cos with dragon series divine techniques.
If you forge using a Two-Phase Realm dragon, you get a Two-Phase Realm level divine weapon.
And if I steal a newly hatched dragon egg, forging it using a Five-Body Realm baby dragon?
Then it's a Five-Body Realm level divine weapon!
Although no one is foolish enough to use such low-level divine beasts as materials.
If capturing divine beast cubs, you'd likely try to bond them, making them pets.
Why use them for forging, creating a Five-Body Realm divine weapon, what's the point?
But now, selling Yin Yang weapons with mixed spiritual roots to those saints and saintesses as low-end divine weapons is not bad.
"We call this... Divine Weapon Youth Edition."
"Striking the high-end divine weapon market, changing the era, the first divine weapon belonging to young people!"
Immortal Aunt said: "We plan to use these Yin-Yang mixed spiritual roots to create a wave of Four Viscera Realm Yin-Yang divine weapons!"
"This fits perfectly with our level."
"And our divine weapons are all growth types."
"Ghost can beco stronger, mixed spiritual root artifact spirits might not match middle grade spiritual roots, but they are growth type weapons valuable for nurturing."
"It's just like the growth difference between a C card and an A card."
Ning Zheng couldn't quite understand.
At this point, Immortal Aunt called over Shao Chaikun from afar: "We've designed the lines, you co over and say the lines."
Shao Chaikun ran over quickly, his voice loud and amiable:
"Ladies and gentlen in the Capital streaming room... pfft! Friends at the Capital auction, divine weapons, minimum value of tens of millions of magic coins, priceless and rare, today our fans have benefits, prepared ten divine weapons for everyone!"
"Only 19.99 million magic coins, take it ho directly."
Shao Chaikun looked fervent, "This is a wave of benefits, ant only to make a na, not for profit, hoping everyone supports our divine craftsman power more in the future, place more orders!"
At this mont, Immortal Aunt ran over and said: "The price is wrong, we're here to promote, lower it!"
Shao Chaikun smiled wryly: "Miss, 19.99 million magic coins are already break-even, we just want to make a na worldwide... we've shown sincerity, these are divine weapons, if we go overboard, the manor master will be angry..."
Immortal Aunt took an ignorant and unruly spoiled miss deanor, snarling: "Not enough, lower the price for again! Change it to a number!"
Shao Chaikun gritted his teeth, rewriting the price: "15.88 million magic coins!"
Immortal Aunt kicked him, directly writing: "9.98 million magic coins, anonymously crafted divine weapons from the Xinyi Continent divine craftsman ranking, perfectly matching a young cultivator's first divine weapon!"
Shao Chaikun looked shocked: "No way, this is impossible!"
"Impossible? Then I'll change the number again!"
She viciously crossed out a 9: "980 thousand magic coins! Just 980 thousand, losing money for fa, divine weapon brought ho!!"
"Divine weapons worth at least tens of millions, don't want 19.98, not 9.98, just 98, infinitely growing divine weapons taken ho!"
"Buy it! Quickly buy it for !"
Ning Zheng watched in silence.
This magical call, enthusiastically filled phraseology, in the engaging dialogue between these two, advancing emotions again and again, giving a sense of irrational purchasing impulse.
He had to admit, for a mont, he was moved.
Immortal Aunt said: "We still need to polish the lines a bit, this is roughly the process."
Impressive!
Ning Zheng listened, feeling much steadier inside!
These blacksmiths, indeed can transform decay into magical!
Our seemingly rubbish Forging Manor, probably this ti can truly make a na in the capital.
Not to ntion making other divine craftsn cry, at least can earn a sum in the capital, establishing the manor's na.
