Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 293 - 160: Five Elements Perfected, Stone Essence and Dragon Essence, Mastery over Five Thunders (Double Length)
"What if it’s the first time forging, and it fails?"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, "It’s not easy for you to take action once, even if it fails, I will pay you three hundred Spirit Crystals as a hardship fee!"
Xu Guang thought about it for a moment and felt this side job was doable.
Making a living with one’s skills isn’t shameful.
"I wonder which type of Divine Weapon the Elder is skilled at forging? These are the recent demands in the market, please take a look."
Xu Guang took the list.
Then, to the middle-aged man’s shocked gaze, he accepted six orders at once, making the middle-aged man feel anxious.
To say nothing of anything else, the Mineral Essence required for these six orders alone was worth over three thousand Spirit Crystals. If the orders explode... 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
He might not be able to handle it.
"Elder, may I know the Elder’s esteemed name?"
"I am the Red Flame Ancestor from the Red Flame Sect."
As Xu Guang spoke, he lifted the hat from his head, revealing his aged face.
The middle-aged man recalled for a long time before he remembered what the Red Flame Sect was.
After hesitating for a long while, he still agreed to Xu Guang.
These old experts with unique skills often have quirks. If he didn’t agree to Xu Guang taking six orders at once, the Red Flame Ancestor might just turn around and leave.
Moreover, since he already stated his name, when the ores are delivered to the manor for verification of identity, they can rest assured.
"These are the requirements and details from the weapon owners for their weapons, please take them home to look over. As for the Mineral Essences, they will be delivered to Chiyao County in three days."
Upon hearing this, Xu Guang directly put down his own Mineral Essences, "Then please also send over the ones I selected today together at that time."
Xu Guang paused for a moment and looked at the middle-aged man, speaking.
"I heard Sword Casting Manor has a Dragon Essence?"
The man’s expression shifted slightly, "The Elder is interested?"
That Dragon Essence was of a special grade; though still a Fifth-Grade Spiritual Object, its value far surpassed that of a Fifth-Grade, even some Fourth-Grade Elixirs are far inferior.
After all, the Dragon Essence has an effect that drives all Fifth Grades mad.
It can raise the grade by one when constructing an Alien Body in a Three-Metamorphosis Zhenren.
A Wasted Body originally without divine powers would become a Single Divine Technique Alien Body, acquiring a Dragon Attribute Divine Power.
If the Red Flame Ancestor in front has an interest, it indicates his cultivation is already at the peak of Fifth Grade.
"Is Sword Casting Manor intending to make a move?"
The man shook his head slightly, "This matter is of great importance, I cannot make the decision, but... if our cooperation goes smoothly, I will inform the Manor Master."
...
After leaving the back warehouse, the stall at the front where people gamble on stones had gathered a crowd again, it seemed someone was uncovering stones once more.
Having already seen the commotion, Xu Guang wasn’t interested and intended to leave.
However, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the crowd, then saw a light emerge, followed by someone saying,
"Baisheng has lost a lot recently, a few days ago he gifted Miss Liu from the Liu Clan in Taizhou nine successful hits out of ten, today Mr. Wang also hit one, and now another one is hit!"
Xu Guang immediately turned around and looked at that person.
"You... what do you want to do?"
The crowd all looked at Xu Guang, anticipating some excitement.
Xu Guang let out a light chuckle, pressed down his hat, and memorized that person’s appearance without saying more, then turned to leave.
...
Half an hour later.
The person staggered out of the alley with a jug of alcohol.
A figure suddenly appeared before him, its eyes glowing with a dim light, akin to the bottomless abyss.
Enchanting Soul Tribulation.
Dealing with a Seventh-Grade Expert who likes to watch the commotion, the Enchanting Soul Tribulation effortlessly seized this man’s mind.
"The Miss Liu you mentioned, is she Liu Ruyan? When did you see her opening Stone Essence?"
"It was... three days ago... Miss Liu came over from Zouchuan Dao, rumored to be a guest at Sword Casting Manor."
Xu Guang took a deep breath, licked his slightly dry lips, and revealed a strange excitement.
"Have a good sleep, you’ll forget everything that just happened."
With those words left behind, Xu Guang’s figure turned into the wind and disappeared in an instant.
...
Returning to Chiyao County, Xu Guang’s face was still adorned with a smile.
Due to Du Bo’s schemes and others, his original plan to capture Liu Ruyan was disrupted, he thought there was no chance to catch this woman any longer, but unexpectedly...
It was truly a coincidence.
Liu Ruyan turned out to be a guest at Sword Casting Manor, and it seemed she had no intention of leaving anytime soon.
Two days later.
The people from Sword Casting Manor arrived, delivering the Mineral Essence.
These two people from Sword Casting Manor were both Fifth Grade tributors, before coming, they likely gathered information about Xu Guang’s background in Chiyao County.
Upon meeting Xu Guang, they were quite courteous.
Xu Guang didn’t act overly arrogant either, instead chatting with the two with a smile.
Though they were Fifth Grade, they were relatively weaker, and their cultivation resources were rather scarce, serving Sword Casting Manor in exchange for enhanced combat power from a Divine Weapon, after four years of service, they could obtain a Fifth-Grade Divine Weapon.
For those who had battled their way through the Jianghu for decades and luckily broke through to Fifth Grade, venturing into dangerous places like Wangdang Mountain was no longer suitable.
Everyone has their own choices, some enjoy adventure and the feeling of rapid progress in cultivation, while others prefer to lie low, enjoying a stable life.
"Ancestor, these are the Mineral Essences sent by the manor. And here’s a Ten Thousand Meteor Fruit opened from a Stone Essence, a gift from Manor Master Xie to the Ancestor."
Xu Guang accepted the Fifth-Grade Spirit Fruit with a smile, "Please thank the Manor Master for me."
"The Ancestor is too polite."
The Ten Thousand Meteor Fruit is quite a nice thing, capable of enhancing the physical body.
Xu Guang used his pharmacist talent to identify it, finding it to be a good Spirit Fruit, quite beneficial for Ah Wei’s growth.
So he tossed it directly to Ah Wei.
...
Autumn passed.
Xu Guang stepped out of the fiery forge room, his Divine Thought powerful, forging thirteen Fifth-Grade Divine Weapons at once, much like refining elixirs, the key and busy steps were just a few, not a heavy burden if timed right.
There’s no rush with the forging of weapons for now.
Xu Guang’s expression was eager, full of ecstatic joy and excitement.
His body turned into wind, disappearing from the orchard, leaving the Martial Arts Academy, departing from Chiyao County, sprinting, leaping, swiftly turning into a phantom among the mountains and forests.
Soon, he arrived at a forest about sixty miles away from Chiyao County.
This was the secret base he found for himself.
Progress had been made on the research concerning the Immortal Register.
He came here to experiment with the technique!
Taking out the Stone Mirror, looking at the tadpole-like small seal characters appearing on its surface, Xu Guang reached out and stroked the mirror’s surface.
He had a premonition that with the help of this Stone Mirror, he would be able to display the magic technique of the Qi Refiner regarding the word ’Thunder’ on the Bronze Fragment.
Success or failure, it hinges on today.
