Chapter 455 - 266: Starry Tower, Reforging the Body
After being promoted to a Level 3 Wizard, Sunan upgraded the Engraving Gemstones.
Now the maximum number of Synthesized Engraving Gemstones has been increased to eighty-five, with power comparable to the Spell Tower II type, capable of instantly killing a Level 1 Wizard and severely injuring a Level 2 Qi Transformation Wizard.
Dragons are all experts in appraising treasures, and the Radiant Dragon naturally saw the value in this Engraving Gemstone.
"A nice gemstone." The Radiant Dragon reluctantly withdrew its gaze, "I agree, this gemstone for a second Soul Purifying Flower."
But unexpectedly, Sunan shook his head upon hearing this and said, "One Engraving Gemstone for two Soul Purifying Flowers."
The Radiant Dragon was taken aback, then frowned and said, "No, only one. If you don’t agree, then forget it."
Sunan smiled slightly, put away the Engraving Gemstone and the Master-Touch Puppet.
"Sorry to bother you."
With those words, he turned and walked towards the door.
Lize followed without hesitation, Tanner hesitated to speak, glanced at the Radiant Dragon, but eventually followed Sunan.
As the three approached the door, the Radiant Dragon’s voice suddenly came from behind.
"Wait!"
Sunan paused, turned to look at the Radiant Dragon.
The latter rolled its eyes and said irritably, "Two, then two."
Sunan’s lips curled up slightly.
He just wanted to test the waters and didn’t expect it to actually work.
It seems the Engraving Gemstone’s allure to the Radiant Dragon was indeed extraordinary.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even a Master-Touch Puppet could be traded for a Soul Purifying Flower, and the Engraving Gemstone, purely in terms of value, surpasses the Master-Touch Puppet. With the Magic Gemstone’s allure to dragons, success was naturally expected.
Moreover, for Sunan, the cost of the Engraving Gemstone was far lower than that of the Master-Touch Puppet. Exchanging Engraving Gemstones for Soul Purifying Flowers was undoubtedly more profitable.
Had he known the allure of Engraving Gemstones was this great, he should have taken out the Engraving Gemstone at the start and directly exchanged for two Soul Purifying Flowers.
He wasn’t worried about the Radiant Dragon deciphering the manufacturing method of the Engraving Gemstone.
The compatibility between gemstones and Rune Engraving is an unsolvable problem, and aside from this golden finger like a magic cube, there is basically no solution.
Even if the Radiant Dragon studies it for thousands of years, it shouldn’t expect any breakthroughs.
The Radiant Dragon reached out and slashed through the void, tearing open a rift in space, then reached inside to grope around, quickly retrieving two silver-grey flowers.
The two then completed the transaction.
Once the Engraving Gemstone was in hand, the Radiant Dragon’s mood improved significantly, its eyes flashing, and it smiled at Sunan, "Do you have any extra Engraving Gemstones on you?"
Sunan raised an eyebrow, half-smiling, "I do, and they can be traded, but do you have what I want?"
The Radiant Dragon waved a big hand, saying, "I have plenty of treasures here, just tell me what you want."
"Do you have the design of the Supreme Golem?"
"...That’s a secret of the major Wizard Influences, how could I have it?"
"What about the Elemental Melting Furnace design?"
"...That’s even more precious than the Supreme Golem, isn’t it?"
"Then how about the War Creation design?"
"..."
The Radiant Dragon was silent.
Everything Sunan mentioned, without exception, were secrets of the major Wizard Influences; no matter how great the power of the Light Pavilion was, it was impossible to obtain.
"Don’t you want some Witchcraft Artifact, potions, or rare materials?"
Sunan thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "Alright, let’s trade for some materials then."
His expression of being somewhat reluctant yet grudgingly agreeing to trade made the Radiant Dragon’s expression freeze, his lips twitching several times.
But now it was a seller’s market, so he had to pretend not to see it.
Sunan didn’t need Witchcraft Artifacts and potions, as he could synthesize them himself.
After some selection, Sunan ultimately traded twenty-three Engraving Gemstones with the Radiant Dragon for a large batch of rare materials.
The cost of an upgraded Engraving Gemstone was less than twenty-three thousand each, making the total for twenty-three just over five hundred and twenty thousand Gold Coins, equivalent to the cost of one Master-Touch Puppet.
And the materials ultimately obtained in exchange, when roughly estimated, absolutely exceeded forty million in value!
This transaction was incredibly profitable!
Sunan secretly decided that if he ever needed materials in the future, he would simply come to the Light Pavilion to ’stock up’.
However, the more a commodity is sold, the less it becomes; once too many Engraving Gemstones are traded to the Radiant Dragon, their allure to the latter might decrease sharply. He had to be careful with this balance.
Once the transaction was complete, the Radiant Dragon was eager to admire the Engraving Gemstones, repeatedly waving the three out of the shop, then closing the door and hanging up the ’closed’ sign.
Sunan laughed and shook his head, not minding.
Just the more than forty million worth of materials alone made today’s harvest substantial.
Returning from his joy, Sunan turned to Tanner and asked, "Does the True Law Hall or the All Things City sell the designs for the Supreme Golem, War Creation, and Elemental Melting Furnace?"
Tanner shook his head with a wry smile, "No."
As the Radiant Dragon said, these three things are the secrets of the Wizard Influence, and nobody would put them up for sale.
However, after hesitating, Tanner said, "There might not be War Creation and Elemental Melting Furnace designs, but as for the Supreme Golem, there might be a place with it."
Sunan’s expression shifted: "Starry Tower?"
Tanner was first surprised, but soon understood.
From the previous conversation, it was obvious Sunan had some understanding of the All Things City, so he naturally wouldn’t be unaware of its most famous Starry Tower.
But Lize, who hadn’t heard of the place, curiously asked, "What is the Starry Tower?"
Tanner explained, "The Starry Tower is a place where wizards exchange information, search for teammates to explore dimensions together, or hire help. In simple terms, it’s a place where wizards can post tasks, accept tasks, and buy and sell information to each other."
