Chapter 378.
“For this spirit sword, the young cultivator will ask the best refiner of this store to take a shot at it.”
The sword store’s shopkeeper obviously had an insight into Wang Chen’s mood at the moment, and said with a smile, “If one is lucky enough, the superior may be able to obtain a quasi-magical treasure flying sword!”
Artifact refining could be said to be one of the greatest metaphysics in the Immortal Cultivation World.
During the process of casting and refining a magic weapon, there was a possibility that it could produce unusual changes because of the material and the fire.
The finished product that came out in the end could then be beyond the normal grade, or be endowed with some kind of special attribute.
The so-called superb quality.
Generally speaking, the more advanced the skill of the refiner, the higher the probability of producing a “superb product”.
Of course, this kind of “superb quality” could not be found, and could not be found only once in a hundred.
Although the sword shopkeeper was clearly comforting Wang Chen, Wang Chen really felt a lot more comfortable listening to him.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Then how many spirit stones does a real third-order flying sword need?”
A quasi-magic treasure, even more quasi, was only a second-order spirit weapon.
And the sword shopkeeper’s answer left Wang Chen speechless – the worst magic treasure would have to start at ten thousand medium spirits!
What is the concept of 10,000 medium spirits?
Equivalent to one million two hundred thousand lower spirits, he could not afford to buy it even if he emptied his entire fortune!
As for the treasure-level flying swords, it must be realized that flying swords are a “luxury item” amongst magic weapons.
Wang Chen weighed his storage bag and felt that he was still a poor bastard.
He realized that if he really let go and spent it, all the spirit stones he currently had were not enough to support him for a few years.
Previously, he had purchased mission information, and now he was remodeling his flying sword, and had used 400,000 spirit stones before and after.
Nearly half of his savings were gone.
Considering his long-term plan, he had to find a way to cut down on expenses!
Leaving the sword store, Wang Chen continued to wander around the City of Ten Thousand Spirits.
This time he went in and out of some stores with great purpose, asking about the prices of various materials, magic weapons, talismans and pills.
After circling around, Wang Chen’s mood was very unpleasant.
Because he realized that his most skillful means of earning spirit stones was no longer useful in this Immortal City!
There were countless stores in the City of Ten Thousand Spirits, including many talisman stores.
After Wang Chen asked and did some calculations, he was shocked to realize that even if he took out his Great Perfection level talisman making skills, it would be hard to compete with these professional talisman stores.
Because the price of talismans here is too transparent, what quality sells for what price, there is almost no difference between the stores.
Profit margins were limited to death!
The materials in Ten Thousand Spirit City were expensive, the labor was expensive, and the venue rent was even more expensive, if Wang Chen wanted to trade talismans, he could only go to the Immortal Market and set up a stall to sell them, even if his refined talismans were better than others, he couldn’t expect to sell them at a high price.
Especially the first-order talismans, Wang Chuan noticed that many stores selling talismans, very much like a special method of bulk “printing” processed out, the finished product is almost exactly the same.
But the quality was not bad at all!
This showed that the Western Sea Spirit Region had a more advanced level of productivity!
Compared to these large-scale workshops and stores, a single cultivator really wasn’t competitive.
In this way, if Wang Chen wanted to make money through talismans, he would have to work hard on higher-order spirit talismans.
The profits of spirit talismans were relatively higher.
But it was equally limited.
After putting in a lot of time and effort and not getting much, how meaningful was it?
In the next few days, Wang Chen made two more trips to the Immortal Market in Wan Ling City.
The Immortal Market of Ten Thousand Spirits City was extremely large, capable of holding tens of thousands of stalls, and attracted a large number of cultivators to come and trade every day.
Wang Dust conducted some market research in this Immortal Market.
The results made him even more disappointed.
In terms of the talisman trading alone, the inward scrolling was just too powerful.
The learning threshold for making talismans was low, and the production cost was also low, so there were countless cultivators who were part-time talisman makers.
In the Immortal Market, Wang Chuan had seen several skilled talisman makers, selling talismans that had reached the level of great accomplishment, and even had a few points of the master level.
The price was not high at all.
In contrast, the high input and high output of alchemy and weaponry, although the competition is equally fierce, but the potential profit is definitely higher than the talisman making.
Could it be that he would change his profession to learn alchemy or weaponry?
Wang Chen couldn’t make up his mind for a while.
He didn’t rush to make a main decision either, and first went to the sword store to retrieve his revamped Wind Thunder Sword.
“Fortunately.”
The sword store owner smilingly presented a sword box, “Please take a look, my lord.”
Wang Chen received the sword box and opened it, his eyes immediately lit up.
The size and appearance of this Wind and Thunder Sword remained unchanged, only the spine of the sword had an extra line of crimson fire, and the light of the sword took in the inflamed air, which was very different from before the remodeling.
He couldn’t help but hold the sword in his hand and tried to inject magic power.
The sword instantly lit up with hot flames.
The sword flames transformed by this sword qi leapt upwards several feet high, and lightning flashed within the flames, its aura was extremely astonishing!
There was no thought that its origin had undergone a transformative change.
The most valuable thing was that the wind and thunder phases of this spirit sword had not been weakened, and the thunder nature had instead been enhanced.
However, the strongest thing was the newly added fire nature, which was extremely compatible with Wang Chen’s five elemental primary phases!
Now this spirit sword should be called the Wind Thunder Inferno Sword.
It’s just that this name is really too tacky, so I’ll have to change it to another one with a beeper when I get back.
Wang Chen played with it lovingly, his heart satisfied to the extreme.
“This sword, can be called a quasi-magical treasure.”
The sword shopkeeper stroked his beard and explained, “It can increase the power of fire spells by up to two and a half times, and with the power of wind and thunder, it is even more powerful!”
He had an expression of “You’ve earned a lot”.
Wang Chen laughed and immediately put away this brand new extremely high grade spirit sword.
Painfully, he paid the remaining balance.
Then the sword store shopkeeper set out two more flying swords on the counter.
He pointed at the flying sword on the left and said, “This Transmission Flying Sword is a complimentary item, and the superior person can take it for free.”
“As for this one ……”
The sword store shopkeeper pointed to the flying sword on the right again, “It’s different from ordinary messenger flying swords, combining both the ability to fly imperiously and to protect the body, second rank upper grade.”
To fly is to fly with a sword, and to protect one’s body is to protect one’s body with sword light.
Sword cultivators usually had three flying swords, one main battle sword and two auxiliary swords.
This one was the typical auxiliary sword!
Wang Dust was really convinced of the other party’s business tactics, “How many spirit stones?”
“You can get a discount if you want.”
This sword shopkeeper looked kind and smiled like a thousand year old fox, “Just one hundred thousand lower spirits.”
He knew that Wang Chen didn’t have a medium spirit, so he directly used the lower spirit to set the price.
“Eighty thousand!”
Wang Dust viciously countered the price.
He didn’t want to be wool-gathered by the other party, but couldn’t help that he really needed it.
After kneeling all the way down, it wasn’t even close to this!
The sword shopkeeper’s head shook like a rattle drum: “The small store is sorry for not bargaining!”
But Wang Chen was determined to fight the other party to the death.
In the end, this auxiliary type flying sword was taken by him for 88,000 lower spirits.
The blood bar was reduced again.
