Chapter 589: Attempting Weapon Forging



Chapter 589: Attempting Weapon Forging



Su Yuan stepped into the Wu Family Materials Store.


The interior formed its own separate world.


A vast quantity of materials filled that world.


With a single glance, Su Yuan found that most were low-grade Dominator-level materials.


Su Yuan found a Life Source Stone that looked passable and asked, "How much for this Life Source Stone?"


The proprietress of the Wu Family store smiled and said, "If my friend is sincerely interested, one million nine hundred thousand pieces of Chaos Jade will suffice!"


Su Yuan was surprised. "That cheap? I just inquired about prices in some other shops, and the ordinary ones all cost around six million!"


The proprietress explained, "The Life Source Stones I have here are indeed slightly inferior, but the gap isn't large. However, my procurement cost is indeed a bit lower, so the selling price is naturally cheaper. Rest assured, my friend, this is absolutely genuine goods, not counterfeit or shoddy items."


Su Yuan nodded. Before his True Name Dao Principle, disguise and forgery were impossible. The Life Source Stones here were indeed genuine Life Source Stones. Their quality was about four to five percent worse than those at the Ancient Source Treasure Pavilion, but the price was less than a third.

The proprietress then reminded him, "To be honest, my friend, their prices aren't wrong either. The success rate for forging Chaos Dominator Artifacts, refining Dominator Pills, or other such endeavors isn't high. If the raw material quality is slightly poorer, ultimately leading to a failed refinement, the loss compared to that bit of premium is much greater! So, my friend, consider for yourself whether you wish to purchase these materials."

Hearing this, Su Yuan said, "If I were to purchase in bulk, could there be a discount on the price?"


"Bulk?"


The proprietress hesitated. "If it exceeds five pieces, I can offer a five percent discount."


Su Yuan said, "I need materials worth five hundred billion Chaos Jade. See if you can offer a greater discount."


Upon hearing this, Wu was shocked. "Are you sure, my friend? Buying five hundred billion worth of materials in one go!"


"That's right."


Su Yuan replied calmly.


Wu was overjoyed and said, "If that's the case, I can offer a maximum discount of twenty percent! This is the highest discount I can give!"


A glint flashed in Su Yuan's eyes. "Deal!"


Next, Su Yuan entered shopping spree mode, acquiring thirty thousand precious materials in one breath.


Then, amidst Wu's enthusiastic farewell, he left the shop.


Su Yuan turned around and returned to his own small shop.


He took out the Alliance Token and browsed through the items in the Merit Points Exchange Mall.


Under the Chaos Dominator Artifact category, he saw some standard-issue Chaos Dominator Artifacts for sale.


"These standard-issue Chaos Dominator Artifacts are really convenient. Any Dominator cultivating any Great Dao can use them, unleashing their full tenfold combat power. Although they are inferior to custom weapons, their prices are quite friendly."


Su Yuan checked the price of a low-grade standard-issue weapon. A warblade containing five percent Chaos Great Dao True Intent cost only three hundred million Chaos Jade!


Whereas a custom weapon of the same tier ranged from several hundred million to tens of billions, with extreme fluctuations.


Su Yuan searched a bit and actually saw a free download channel for the forging methods of standard-issue equipment!


"It's actually free to exchange?"


Su Yuan was very surprised.


With that, what was there to hesitate about? He immediately downloaded over a hundred types of standard-issue forging blueprints, including those for low-grade standard-issue weapons, armor, magic robes, combat boots, magical treasures, formation flags, and more.


After he finished downloading, he was automatically registered with the identity of an Alliance Apprentice Artificer.


[Notification: Respected Apprentice Artificer Seven Stars Dominator, you can unlock higher Artificer ranks by uploading standard-issue equipment. You can receive Alliance rewards, including Chaos Jade and Merit Points, and also obtain more Artificer legacies.]


Su Yuan raised an eyebrow. Besides fighting on the front lines, supplying materials for the front lines was also a form of contribution.


He casually glanced over it, then began receiving those Artificer legacies.


Each type of standard-issue equipment actually contained vast Artificer legacies, involving numerous Dao Principles, and the understanding of Chaos True Intent within was extremely profound and mysterious.


Mastering the forging of even one type of standard-issue equipment was extremely difficult.


However, when Su Yuan activated the two Dominator-level traits, [Dominator of Artifacts] and [Dominator of Will].


Learning these standard-issue weapons presented hardly any difficulty for him.


"Feels pretty simple too. Let's try forging a weapon!"


With a thought, Su Yuan took out ten Dominator-level main materials and three hundred Dao Venerable-level auxiliary materials.


Sitting cross-legged before the Chaos Furnace, his will took control of the Chaos Flame within the furnace.


The terrifying Chaos Flame contained an ultimate melting power. Su Yuan continuously used his own Chaos True Intent to manipulate the Chaos Flame, increasing and decreasing its melting power.


The first Dominator-level main material was tossed into the Chaos Furnace. Under the scorching of the Chaos Flame, it took only a hundred years to melt into a pool of golden liquid.


Su Yuan nodded and continued melting the second Dominator-level material.


Thus, after a mere thousand years, all materials were successfully melted and, under Su Yuan's control, completely fused into one, transforming into a longsword.


Within the sword body, numerous Chaos secret patterns constructed a stable Chaos Great Dao system, containing a full five percent of Chaos True Intent.


The hilt was imprinted with the Big Dipper emblem, signifying that this weapon was forged by Su Yuan.


Su Yuan drew the sword out of the Chaos Furnace.


The sword body hovered in the air before Su Yuan, emitting a soft, autonomous hum towards him. The immature sword spirit within conveyed feelings of affection and reverence to Su Yuan.


Su Yuan held the longsword. A strand of Chaos True Name Power was injected into the sword body. The sword immediately began to flow with radiance, perfectly receiving the Chaos True Name Power, amplifying the five percent Chaos True Intent, and enhancing the power of Su Yuan's techniques.


"It succeeded just like that?"


Su Yuan felt the entire forging process was very smooth.


Suddenly, Su Yuan froze in place.


The [Daoist Techniques Naturally] trait activated!


All the profound mysteries from the previous forging process suddenly flooded into his consciousness.


Countless insights into forging and comprehension of Chaos True Intent immediately surged forth.


Su Yuan activated the [Balancing Work and Rest] trait. His comprehension ability immediately increased a hundredfold, and he began absorbing these sudden insights.


After several breaths, Su Yuan regained clarity. His understanding of forging Chaos Dominator Artifacts had risen to another level.


Simultaneously, his mastery over Chaos True Intent advanced further, increasing from 18% to 18.5%.


The progress was extremely noticeable.


Su Yuan was immensely satisfied.


He took out the Alliance Token and transmitted the weapon he had just forged.


The token immediately sent a message.


[Detecting, please wait...]


[Respected Primary Artificer Seven Stars Dominator, the standard-issue longsword you uploaded meets the upload requirements. It can be exchanged for one hundred million Merit Points and one hundred million pieces of Chaos Jade as a reward. Do you wish to exchange?]


Hearing this, Su Yuan's expression shifted slightly. Combined, it was worth two hundred million pieces of Chaos Jade, while the selling price was three hundred million. The platform directly profited one hundred million.


Su Yuan didn't hesitate either and agreed to upload.


Thus, Su Yuan's token account gained an additional one hundred million pieces of Chaos Jade balance and one hundred million Merit Points.


And the ranking of Taihao Chaos, numbered 30010086, on the Merit Points Leaderboard immediately rose a small notch, finally no longer being at the very bottom.
