Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 649: Special Rewards from the Third Speaker's Treasury
“Star Master, you are truly incredible!”
Flame King’s heart swelled with immense reverence.
Such methods were beyond his comprehension, and he sighed inwardly, realizing he still had a long road ahead of him.
He immediately seized the moment to study and comprehend, determined to achieve at least one ten-thousandth of the Star Master’s ability, or else he would be utterly useless.
Su Yuan focused intently on controlling the smelting of eight thousand batches of materials. Each batch was composed of hundreds of different materials, and the process of fusing them together was extremely complex and meticulous.
Yet, under the control of the [Dominator of Artifacts] trait, this process became many times easier.
As if by instinct, Su Yuan didn’t need to expend much mental effort to control the process; he could forge the embryonic weapons of the Dominator Artifacts with ease.
What was even more remarkable was the Chaos Trait [Once Proved, Forever Proved].
The existence of this trait meant that as long as Su Yuan had ever achieved a certain accomplishment or mastered a skill, he could directly replicate it later.
Relying on the guidance of the [Dominator of Artifacts] for artifact forging, it was initially difficult for him to grasp the profound mysteries within, but he had indeed succeeded. Thus, [Once Proved, Forever Proved] endowed him with various artifact forging abilities.
Subsequently, he wouldn’t need the [Dominator of Artifacts] trait; he could achieve similar effects using his own power.
His performance might fluctuate, but as long as he practiced diligently, Su Yuan would eventually master this aspect of artifact forging completely.
Out of the eight thousand batches of materials, Su Yuan specifically selected five hundred for practice. For these five hundred, he wouldn’t use the [Dominator of Artifacts] trait for control, but instead rely on his own mastered forging abilities.
It was evident that during the forging process of those five hundred Dominator Artifacts, flaws appeared to varying degrees. However, these flaws were visibly decreasing and being corrected at a rapid pace.
Su Yuan continued forging silently. This single forging session lasted for seventy Yuan Assemblies. In the outside world, seven hundred years had passed in Black Flame City.
The eight thousand Dominator Artifacts were completely finished.
Among them, eight hundred True-Grade artifacts were forged. The proportion had decreased significantly, but this was the result after cutting corners on materials. The quantity was still extremely impressive.
Two thousand Supreme-Grade artifacts were forged.
Five thousand High-Quality artifacts were forged.
Two hundred Upper-Grade artifacts were forged.
Most of the Upper-Grade ones were products of Su Yuan’s experimental five hundred batches.
With a sweep of his hand, Su Yuan sorted out two hundred Upper-Grade, six hundred High-Quality, one hundred eighty Supreme-Grade, and twenty True-Grade artifacts. He then uploaded them to the shop, completing the order.
Su Yuan sent out a message to remind Qi Bai to receive them. However, he waited for a while and received no response.
Su Yuan shrugged. He then listed one thousand Dominator Artifacts for sale on the Merit Points Mall, doing so anonymously. The prices were set two to three percentage points lower than items of the same tier, so they should sell quickly.
Afterward, Su Yuan logged off. He would wait for Qi Bai’s reply and the second batch of materials. Then, he could enter seclusion to enhance his comprehension.
This time, he had forged a full eight thousand Dominator Artifacts. These were all forty-something-tier Chaos Dominator Artifacts, all beings that could provide him with True Name Power.
Su Yuan’s comprehension of True Name Power increased once again.
After absorbing this wave of insights, Su Yuan’s comprehension of true intent broke through the bottleneck of the 49th tier, reaching the level of the 50th tier!
The entire breakthrough process was incredibly smooth, leaving Su Yuan very satisfied. Now, he just needed to wait for the Chaos Dominator Artifacts to sell out and the Chaos Jade to arrive, and then he could elevate his cultivation realm.
“Wait, I think I forgot to exchange my reward!”
Su Yuan remembered the previous matter.
He had completed the Third Speaker’s mission, earning 15.08 million Kalpa units of special merit points, which allowed him to go to the special treasury to exchange for treasures.
In order to gather enough Chaos Jade to distribute to the Deputy City Lords and others, he had been busy forging Dominator Artifacts. Now that the artifacts were successfully forged and funds were secured, he could peacefully enjoy this reward.
With a thought, he opened the City Lord Seal interface and selected “Claim Reward.”
In the next instant, a strand of his consciousness was drawn away by the City Lord Seal.
In a flash, a portion of his awareness arrived within a sea of chaos.
Su Yuan appeared here, his expression somewhat bewildered.
Suddenly, a voice came from above.
“Who goes there?”
Su Yuan looked up and saw a giant eagle carved from stone, its stone eyes fixed upon him.
“I am the City Lord Seven Stars of Black Flame City. I have obtained special merit points and have come here specifically to exchange for rewards!”
True Name Power flowed in Su Yuan’s eyes, identifying the true name of this entity.
[Name]: Chaos Stone Eagle
[Species]: Nothingness Life Form
[Tier]: 72nd Tier
[Great Dao]: Chaos Devouring Heaven Great Dao
[Affiliation]: Xie Tingfeng (Symbiotic)
Su Yuan was inwardly shocked. This was actually a terrifying existence at the 72nd tier, and it shared a symbiotic relationship with the Third Speaker. For such a being to stand guard, it seemed the items in this treasury were not simple.
“Oh.” The Stone Eagle nodded casually and said, “You have 15.08 million Kalpa units. Go pick for yourself!”
As it spoke, the Stone Eagle waved a hand.
Su Yuan’s body involuntarily flew towards the distance, where numerous “beads” existed. Upon closer inspection, each bead was actually a separate realm of chaos.
Su Yuan came to a stop before these beads and examined their interiors.
Then, he saw various treasures.
He saw True-Grade Dominator Artifacts, and even saw Sage-Grade Dominator Artifacts above the True-Grade.
A single 50th-tier Sage-Grade Dominator Artifact was actually priced at 100 million Kalpa units, which shocked Su Yuan greatly.
Only artifacts above the 50th tier could possess Sage-Grade quality. Su Yuan felt that in the future, he too could forge such treasures. It seemed the potential of artifact forging was even greater than he had imagined.
Su Yuan glanced around a few times. The treasures were simply too numerous.
Fifteen million Kalpa units might seem like a lot, but if one really wanted to exchange for things, it was truly insufficient.
Suddenly, Su Yuan discovered an extremely miraculous exchange item.
[Item]: Army Procurement Authorization
[Price]: 13.88 million Kalpa units
[Effect]: Can directly become a Procurement Specialist for the Second Frontline, obtaining the qualification to purchase military supplies.
Seeing this item description, Su Yuan was utterly stunned. Did such a thing even exist?
The procurement authorization for an entire army was actually being openly offered for trade and exchange? This was no different from buying an official position!
Was the Third Speaker being so blatant about this?
Su Yuan found it utterly absurd.
But then he thought of the six thousand Dominator Artifacts he still had in hand. If he could dispose of them through procurement tasks, he would recoup a massive amount of funds.
That way, he wouldn’t need Qi Bai’s help at all; he could conduct transactions directly and quickly.
This would eliminate any middlemen taking a cut of the profits.
Thinking of this, Su Yuan’s heart stirred.
He checked Qi Bai’s reply status again; there was still no response.
“Too slow. I’ll handle it myself!”
Su Yuan hesitated no longer and exchanged for this authorization.
