Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1191: Flying Sword Upgrade

Luodu Immortal City, Four Seas Commerce Association.

In the inner chamber, Manager Chen finished appraising six Magical Treasures and showed a satisfied smile: "True Person Wang, you’ve worked hard."

The cooperation with Wang Chen was undoubtedly the most correct decision he made in the past year.

Throughout the year, Wang Chen delivered six top-grade Magical Treasures every month, with such stable quality that it was astonishing.

The profits made by the Four Seas Commerce Association from these Magical Treasures far exceeded the remuneration paid to Wang Chen.

Manager Chen also received several praises from the Store Manager because of this. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

He took out a pre-prepared Storage Bag and handed it to Wang Chen: "Please check it."

Of course, the Storage Bag was filled with top-quality Spirit Stones.

To Manager Chen’s surprise, Wang Chen did not immediately accept it this time, but handed over a list: "Manager Chen, I want to order a batch of materials. Let this month’s salary be the down payment."

"Hmm."

Manager Chen immediately retracted the Storage Bag and took the list.

He glanced at it and immediately frowned, saying in surprise: "True Person Wang, the materials you want are all at the Fourth Order level!"

The materials for Artifact Refining are also graded. Third Order Magical Treasures require Third Order materials to be refined—at least the main materials must match.

Fourth Order materials naturally correspond to Fourth Order Spiritual Treasures.

Their value is extraordinarily high!

"Yes."

Wang Chen calmly replied: "I’ve recently gained some insights into Artifact Refining and plan to purchase some materials to try refining Spiritual Treasures."

Manager Chen was moved: "True Person Wang, how confident are you that you can refine a Spiritual Treasure?"

Although Spiritual Treasures are only one tier higher than Magical Treasures, the gap is even greater than that between Magical Treasures and Spiritual Artifacts. Even a Nascent Soul True Immortal considers having one or two Spiritual Treasures to be wealthy.

Although the Four Seas Commerce Association also sells Spiritual Treasures, non-core major clients don’t even have the qualification to take a glance!

Wang Chen actually wants to try refining a Spiritual Treasure, such courage and daring are truly remarkable.

It’s known that the difficulty of refining a Spiritual Treasure is more than ten times higher than that of a Magical Treasure, and the losses in case of failure are extremely severe.

Not a single Refinement Master at the Four Seas Commerce Association in Luodu dared to challenge this.

It’s not that they wouldn’t want to, but their capabilities simply weren’t up to the task.

Thinking about Wang Chen’s nerve, Manager Chen’s heart as a merchant couldn’t help but be stirred!

Because the profit from a custom Spiritual Treasure can exceed that of ten top-grade Magical Treasures, plus there are other benefits.

"Confidence naturally is absent."

Wang Chen laughed: "But if you never try, you can never succeed."

"That’s right!"

Manager Chen clapped his hands in admiration: "True Person’s magnanimity is admirable; I can decide to offer these materials at a 10% discount for you."

Wang Chen nodded: "Thank you, Manager."

A 10% discount was already a very sincere offer, as the Four Seas Commerce Association generally doesn’t negotiate prices, probably the highest authority Manager Chen could exert.

"No need for formality, True Person."

Manager Chen said: "But our store can only gather three types of these materials, and one is insufficient in quantity, so it will need to be transferred from external branches, and therefore it will take some time before delivery."

Wang Chen was unconcerned: "Fine."

Fourth Order materials are not common goods, and to have all the stock at a single branch of the Four Seas Commerce Association would be most unusual.

Yet, the strength of the Four Seas Commerce Association lies in its branches spread throughout all worlds, so gathering these materials is not a problem, though it concerns time and cost.

The purpose of Wang Chen acquiring these Fourth Order materials was to upgrade his life-bound sword, the Dragon Abyss Sword, to a Spiritual Treasure.

His initial plan was to upgrade the Qijue Sword; after all, the Dragon Abyss Sword is mainly for defense, while the Qijue Sword excels in attack, so upgrading the latter would indeed serve higher purposes.

However, after Wang Chen discussed with the Ding, it was calculated that the needed Fourth Order materials to upgrade all seven of the Magical Flying Swords into Spiritual Treasures far exceeded what he could afford.

Thus, he opted instead to upgrade the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Moreover, when combined, the Qijue Sword also reaches the Spiritual Treasure level and is currently barely sufficient, so it’s not urgent.

After taking away the materials for the Magical Treasure for next month, Wang Chen returned to the Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion.

A little over a month later, he received a Flying Sword Messaging from Manager Chen and immediately rushed to the Four Seas Commerce Association.

The Fourth Order materials Wang Chen ordered were ready.

In order to secure this batch of precious materials, Wang Chen spent all his accumulated Spirit Stones and even advanced the fees for refining ten pieces of Magical Treasures.

This was because the cooperation over the past year had gone smoothly, prompting Manager Chen to agree to advance the payment for materials, otherwise, he would have had to wait another two months.

In fact, Wang Chen had already refined these ten Magical Treasures and kept a portion for himself.

With his current Artifact Refining skills, along with the aid of the Ding and the power of the Creation Cauldron, the number he could deliver in a month at full throttle is double what the Four Seas Commerce Association required!

Given his exceptionally high success rate, half of the materials provided by the Four Seas Commerce Association resulted in surplus, turning these prematurely refined Magical Treasures into Wang Chen’s extra net profit.

To gather enough Spirit Stones for the Fourth Order materials, he also used part of these materials to refine his improved Mysterious Sun Umbrella Armor, selling it in other Immortal Cities.

Now with the materials acquired, Wang Chen immediately ceased the refining of Mysterious Sun Umbrella Armor and Kanglong Spear and focused entirely on upgrading the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Sitting in front of the Creation Cauldron, Wang Chen, driven by True Nascent Soul Power, urged the cauldron’s fire, unleashing the potential of the Five Elements Fire to the extreme.

Then he gradually added all the Fourth Order materials in batches.

After three days and nights of refining, all the materials condensed into a fist-sized mass of red-gold liquid.

Wang Chen opened his mouth and released the Dragon Abyss Sword from his Qi Sea Dantian into the blazing cauldron.

The red-gold liquid instantly enveloped the Dragon Abyss Sword, silently merging into the sword’s body!

The superior flying sword, long nurtured by Wang Chen, began to transform in essence, akin to rebirth.

This process continued for five days and nights until the two fused completely, with no barriers remaining.

Yet Wang Chen was not satisfied and further added all the True Dragon Scales gifted by Bai Susu.

Wang Chen had previously had the True Dragon Scales appraised by the Ding, which advised that they were best suited for crafting armor or shields and were ideal materials for creating top-grade Spiritual Treasures.

The issue was that the quantity was too small, so they were insufficient for both armor and shields.

Hence, Wang Chen opted to use them to enhance the Dragon Abyss Sword’s defensive ability and its material quality.

Although this choice didn’t fully utilize the True Dragon Scales’ potential, it was currently the optimal choice for Wang Chen.

However, the process of merging the True Dragon Scales with the Dragon Abyss Sword took Wang Chen half a month.

If not for his Artifact Refining skills having reached the level of a Great Grandmaster, who knows how many times he would have failed!
