Chapter 510: Chapter 510

Compared to the other party absconding with the money, Sang Lishan was obviously more worried about the success rate of refining the Jade Marrow Pill.

So when my little sister contacted our fifth sibling and asked his capable assistant to urgently deliver three pieces of Earth Crystal Jade Marrow, he thought it was too little. Without a few dozen pieces for practice, could it succeed?

"Don’t be offended, my elder brother does not doubt your alchemy skills; it’s mainly because our demon cultivators have poorer talent, and there are very few who enter the Alchemy Dao. Even if there are alchemists, very few are excellent.

That’s why he specially invited a sixth-grade human alchemist from the Otherworld. Merely the upper-grade alchemy furnaces exploded five or six times. Each time a pill is successfully refined, who knows how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures are consumed. My elder brother is just worried that the Earth Crystal Jade Marrow supplied to you is too little..." Sang Qi explained, making Jiang Yuan’s heart ache to hear it.

Damn, such a waste of resources!

It’s too early to say anything now. He decided to mention it when delivering the elixir that if there’s any alchemy business, they should come to him. He didn’t care about earning how many Spirit Stones; it was mainly heart-wrenching for those good things you can’t even buy yourself!

"Rest assured, I might not dare say other things, but the success rate of refining pills is still guaranteed," Jiang Yuanxin said. After all, the system’s Alchemy Room was set this way, and the one main ingredient with twenty-three auxiliary ingredients wasn’t just to refine a single elixir, but a furnace of 99 pills!

So, whatever alchemist from the Otherworld, he wasted those spirit medicines on me, how many bottles of spirit elixir could he give you!

Thinking of this, he was a bit eager to prove his strength to completely win over this wealthy client.

In the end, they settled on thirty each of First Grade Longevity Pills, Fifth-Grade Thirteen-Flavor Antitoxic Pills, and Fifth-Grade Spirit Core Pills, purchased at market price. Besides ten million Spirit Stones, Jiang Yuan could choose any two high-tier magical treasures from Sang Qi’s treasure vault.

[Iron Claw: A weapon and protective gear combination claw made from the fusion and refining of eight pairs of iron-claw lion claws. Attack Power +1500; Physical Strength +800; Evasion +15%. Can be equipped]

As he was dazzled by the array of treasures, suddenly a pair of giant, furry-legged iron claws came into view.

Indeed, it’s already synthesized into a high-tier magical treasure, the Iron Claw!

At least three to four meters tall, thick and sturdy like a furry wall!

Equipping this, along with a beastman body, crab claw, and mutated skull, how amazing would that be!

[Meteorite: An energy body remaining from a collapsing world. A treasure of essence of heaven and earth, formed after undergoing the trials of the void and world barriers. Can be used to upgrade the Divine Mountain Statue]

In an inconspicuous corner lay an unremarkable, ashy, pockmarked stone.

Jiang Yuan had just decided on a piece of urgently needed equipment when he turned around and saw the system’s identification details, his eyes immediately lit up.

When he first entered the Wilderness World, the system gave him a Divine Mountain Statue, saying it could be upgraded at the Treasure Forging Workshop. However, even as the courtyard leveled up to level five, and with a considerable stockpile of supplies, he had never encountered materials that could upgrade the statue.

Turns out, meteorite is needed for the upgrade!

He couldn’t suppress his curiosity and wanted to rush back immediately to upgrade the Divine Mountain Statue and see what changes might occur!

"Huh? You want to choose this meteorite?" Sang Qi was quite surprised, saying, "I picked this up while wandering through the Chaotic Stone Sea. At that time, I sensed a peculiar energy fluctuation and thought some great treasure had emerged, spending quite some effort.

Never expected it was just a strange stone. Later, I had an artifact refiner friend try it, and he said he tried every method but couldn’t even melt the surface, unable to use it for forging at all.

I wonder what you’re planning to use it for? If you feel the energy is peculiar and want to forge weapons or treasures, it might disappoint you. Of course, my friend is a fifth-grade artifact refiner, maybe his means are limited."

The newly updated Wilderness World map showed it on the other side of the world. Who knows if other meteorites can still be found. If there’s a chance, it might be worth considering a trip to have a look.

Jiang Yuan had nothing to hide, smiling slightly: "I have some knowledge of forging skills, so I want to see if I can tame it."

"Really?" Sang Qi was more surprised. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fiɾe·net

She had never seen an alchemist adept at artifact refining. But thinking about it, both professions require a lot of fire, and usually, those of higher grades have some exclusive secrets.

Perhaps Jiang Dao You can dual cultivate in alchemy and artifact refining because he possesses a special flame!

"May I ask what grade artifact refiner you are? Can you disassemble some troublesome weapons?" Sang Qi happened to have a few spoils of war she wanted to disassemble and reforge, but her fifth-grade artifact refiner friend’s flame was ultimately insufficient, unable to disassemble them without damage.

If Jiang Dao You can do it, why not hand them over together?

"I’m considered fifth-grade at the moment," Jiang Yuanxin thought. The Treasure Forging Workshop still had some difficulty ascending to level six, and it uses Heaven-Burning Flame, so the level of items that can be disassembled isn’t too high.

Sure enough, seeing the exquisite weapons taken out, he shook his head and said, "I can’t disassemble them for now. I can only wait until I advance to sixth grade or find a higher-level flame."

Sang Qi smiled helplessly: "Then we shall wait for good news, and when disassembly is possible, I’ll trouble you again."

Jiang Yuan agreed and then bid farewell, flying his sword back to Crescent Lake and directly arriving at the small courtyard through the teleportation array.

Previously, hiding in the cave of Lushan and ascending with the Wilderness, he had thought it would be a rather special experience but found it not even comparable to rising with the Wilderness from within Crescent Lake last time.

Perhaps it was because the cave was too deep, he only felt a tremor akin to an earthquake for a few seconds before it stopped.

Not much fun; it’ll still be more convenient and quick to rely on the teleportation array at the cost of Spirit Stones for future travels.

The courtyard was very quiet, with dawn approaching and the sky a deep azure.

Suddenly, a flock of birds flew past rapidly, making frantic chirping noises, and then a deep red appeared in Jiang Yuan’s sight.

[Alert! Alert! Danger approaching!]

An urgent alarm sounded in his ears, putting his entire body on high alert.

Following the source of the alarm, he looked up, and Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but gasp—a cloud massive enough to cover the sky was roaring toward the courtyard!

It was so gigantic that it seemed like a white demon beast that could swallow the entire courtyard in one bite.

The wind carried with it was fierce, and with the alarm sound, it infinitely magnified the threat of the Mist Cloud.

"Hmm?" With ears twitching, Lingdi, who was resting with eyes half-closed, opened his eyes and glanced at the malicious cloud group. He snorted coldly, raising his head slightly and opening his mouth, unleashing a powerful roar, "Scram!"

An invisible soundwave spread out, causing the oncoming Mist Cloud to pause slightly, and it instantly dissipated a meter away from the small courtyard’s protective barrier.

[Danger alert resolved, safe!]

The system popped up with a reassuring message, and Jiang Yuan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

The crisis came suddenly but also departed quickly. He looked towards the old dog lying under the Divine Wood wagging its tail, feeling deeply relieved.

Luckily it was there to guard; otherwise, the level five protective shield wouldn’t have withstood the Mist Cloud, and there would be big trouble!

"Woof! That cloud had something bad in it just now." Lingdi, seeing the owner’s appreciative gaze, quickly jumped up to take credit, saying: "I chased it away! If it dares to come again, Dog Lord will bite it to death!"
