Chapter 321: Chapter 283: They Actually Sell This Thing?_1
The Kongqian Commerce Association is a royal commerce association, with the current Sixth Prince as its president.
“You’re saying these thirty-six identical Divine Swords were brought by a Demon-suppressing Envoy in exchange for Artifact Refining Materials? How come I don’t recall anyone among the Demon-suppressing Envoys who is skilled in Artifact Refining?”
On the seventh floor of the commerce association, a handsome and imposing young man had thirty-six longswords levitating before him. He examined the swords carefully and asked.
Opposite the young man, an elderly man with a respectful demeanor bowed and said, “Replying to His Highness, there is no mistake about it. Moreover, that Demon-suppressing Envoy is in the Mysterious Character 72nd Box and has already entered the secret chamber, reportedly for the purpose of refining artifacts.”
A look of hope appeared in the young man’s eyes, “The Three Thousand Deadly Array requires at least a thousand of the same Divine Swords. Since this person can refine thirty-six that are alike, he should certainly be able to refine a thousand. Deacon Zhao, keep an eye out for me. When he concludes his seclusion, bring him to see me.”
The elder bowed swiftly, “Rest assured, Your Highness, I shall personally wait for him.”
In the secret chamber, Li Cheng was surrounded by flames as numerous materials floated around him, melting rapidly and extracting their essence.
The Rule of Fire swept through, and in less than half a day, the purification of all materials was complete.
Under the guidance of Divine Sense, the essences extracted from the hundreds of materials slowly converged into a thousand longswords and a thousand war sabers. As Li Cheng formed seals with his hands, the swords and sabers gradually took shape.
Another half day passed, and the swords and sabers were fully refined, each containing eight thousand Divine Patterns; a total of two thousand weapons.
“Valued at sixteen million Divine Stones, this is sheer profit!”
Li Cheng viewed the swords and sabers floating before him with satisfaction, nodding his head. It was only materials worth a million Divine Stones, yet in just over a day, their value had increased sixteenfold!
As long as he sold these Divine Artifacts, he would be able to buy a manor like the one owned by Kong Lianqing.
However, that manor was in the Outer City, and if one were to purchase a manor, it should naturally be in the Inner City. Not to mention anything else, the richness of Divine Qi alone in the Inner City was incomparable to that of the Outer City.
Li Cheng had found out that the cost of housing in the Inner City was more than ten times that of the Outer City. To buy a small manor spanning two to three acres, he would need over a hundred million Divine Stones.
Considering the current situation, earning such an amount by working a little harder did not seem difficult.
“Exchanging this batch of Divine Artifacts for first and second grade Divine Materials will allow me to refine mid-grade Divine Artifacts…”
Li Cheng left the secret chamber.
In the box, the woman was sipping her tea in utter boredom. She had brought Li Cheng here and had to accompany him until he left the commerce association.
Thus, even if she guessed that Li Cheng might stay in the secret chamber for a hundred years, she did not dare to leave without his permission.
Seeing Li Cheng emerge, the woman quickly stood up, “My Lord, do you have any instructions?”
Li Cheng was selecting Divine Materials on the screen, “Wait for a moment.”
This time, eighty percent of the Divine Materials that Li Cheng chose were grade one, and twenty percent were grade two, combined in a uniquely efficient proportion.
This combination could refine mid-grade Divine Artifacts; it was an optimal mix devised by Li Cheng for the most cost-effective result.
Soon enough, Li Cheng had picked Divine Materials worth twenty million, although there were only over seventy types, the quantity of each was substantial.
The woman’s face was full of questions. She had already informed the man before her that he could only pre-empt materials worth a hundred thousand Divine Stones.
How did he suddenly pick twenty million worth of materials?
Li Cheng casually handed over the storage ring he had used to hold the materials, “Take these Divine Artifacts for appraisal and exchange them for the Divine Materials I have selected.”
The woman subconsciously took the storage ring. After a glance, she was momentarily stunned, “These… Newly refined?”
Inside the storage ring, a thousand Divine Swords appeared identical, even the Divine Patterns were indistinguishable from one another. It was the same for the war sabers.
That was peculiar. Logically, even if the same person used the same materials, it would be difficult to refine identical Divine Artifacts, yet these swords and sabers seemed as if they were cloned.
Recovering from her astonishment, the woman stole a glance at Li Cheng, wondering if he possessed some treasure capable of mass-producing Divine Artifacts?
How could such a treasure exist in the world?
Moreover, to have refined so many Divine Artifacts in less than two days, how was that achieved?
With her face full of doubts, the woman bowed and retreated.
Li Cheng turned his gaze back to the screen, flipping through formations.
The commerce association had many Array Diagrams; the price of a level one Array Diagram ranged from a hundred thousand to a million, and level two from a million to ten million – of course, this included the price of the corresponding array materials.
But that was not cheap, as the array materials themselves were not worth much; what was expensive was the Array Diagram.
After looking for a while, Li Cheng shifted his attention to Divine Medicine.
Before his ascension, he had obtained nearly a thousand Divine Pill Recipes but had never refined Divine Pills because Divine Medicine was hard to acquire.
However, at the Kongqian Commerce Association, it seemed that Divine Medicine was plentiful. As long as one had Divine Stones, first and second grade Divine Medicines were readily available.
“The materials for one Heaven God Pill cost fifty thousand Divine Stones, but the value of a lower-grade Heaven God Pill is the same. I wonder how many can be refined in one batch…” After some consideration, a look of anticipation appeared in Li Cheng’s eyes.
Back in the Kunlun Realm, he used to concoct pills with Spirit Medicine or Immortal Elixirs, and the yields were always twelve pills. Now in the Divine Realm, using Divine Medicine for Alchemy, it should also yield twelve, right?
If that were the case, even if he could only produce lower-grade Divine Pills, that would still be a twelvefold profit, making it more lucrative than refining artifacts.
If the quality could be as supreme as before, the profit could be nearly fiftyfold!
But there was no rush. At the moment, he would continue with Artifact Refining. He had just discovered a very interesting Array Diagram named Three Thousand Deadly Array. The Divine Artifacts acted as the focus of the array, and the more Divine Artifacts were integrated, the more powerful it became, which piqued Li Cheng’s interest.
