With sixty source stones in hand, Ye Chen did not leave immediately. After thinking for a while, he pulled out the Demon Slaughtering Sword from his waist. "What about this sword?"
"This, this is a top quality high level sword!"
The shopkeeper's eyesight was very sharp. With one glance, he could tell that this was an extremely rare top quality high level sword. Generally speaking, low level top quality swords were often sold in weapon shops, and were considered expensive luxury goods. Middle level top quality swords would only be sold once every few months, and as for top quality high level swords, one might not even be seen in three to five years. Some weapon shops would open their entire lives without having a top quality high level sword for sale.
"But it's a pity …"
The shopkeeper suddenly shook his head.
"What's a pity?"
Ye Chen asked.
The shopkeeper looked at Ye Chen. "This sword's most precious material should be the Crimson Essence, but the person who forged it did not use the Crimson Essence's power to its limit, and it did not completely fuse with the other materials. I once saw a sword that contained the Crimson Essence, and that sword felt as if the spirit and flesh were one. This sword is still lacking a little, and correspondingly, that sword's grade was also higher than this one. It was a Heavenly King grade sword."
"So that's how it is."
Ye Chen nodded. In the entire Elysium, he was the only one who could forge top quality swords, and it felt like he was building a car behind closed doors. On the other hand, on Firebird Planet, the weapon forging industry was unprecedentedly developed, and they naturally sought perfection.
As if knowing that Ye Chen did not really want to sell this sword, the shopkeeper returned the Demon Slaughtering Sword to Ye Chen and said, "Although the forging of this sword is lacking a little, the material is not bad, and it contains a powerful Destruction Sword Intent. Its value far surpasses other top quality high level swords. I estimate it to be around two thousand five hundred source stones."
This was not a low price. Under normal circumstances, top quality high level treasures were worth between one thousand to one thousand five hundred, so two thousand five hundred source stones was equivalent to two top quality high level treasures.
Leaving the weapon shop, Ye Chen walked towards the general store. He needed a map of Firebird Planet.
… …
"Young master, our maps here are divided into many grades. The lowest is a paper map … and the highest is a Star Shrinking Device." The general store shopkeeper introduced.
"Star Shrinking Device? Let me see. "
Ye Chen was a little curious.
"Wait a moment, Young Master."
The shopkeeper walked into the room behind the counter. When he came out, he was holding a crystal ball in his hand. The crystal ball was fixed on a black square block of wood, sparkling and translucent.
"This is the Star Shrinking Machine?"
Ye Chen sensed a mysterious fluctuation from it.
"That's right. Young master, you can inject a strand of your soul power into it." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Alright."
After nodding slightly, a strand of soul force emerged from between Ye Chen's eyebrows and silently entered the Star Shrinking Device. In the next moment, an image appeared in Ye Chen's mind. It was the miniature of a pale red star, exactly the same as the Firebird Star. As he concentrated, he discovered that this "Firebird Star" could be enlarged. First, it was the Firebird Continent, then the southeast part of the Firebird Continent, then Blue Leaf City. Finally, the entire structure of Blue Leaf City was displayed clearly. He could even see the location of the street he was on.
"What a marvelous technique."
Ye Chen sighed.
The shopkeeper asked curiously, "What? Is this young master's first time seeing a Star Shrinking Device? "
"That's right. My hometown is in a certain world, not a star with life." Ye Chen explained.
"Hehe, indeed. Star Shrinking Devices can only be found on stars with life."
The shopkeeper smiled, indicating that he understood.
"How much is this Star Shrinking Device?"
Ye Chen decided to buy it.
"The Star Shrinking Devices of the Firebird Star are all ten yuan stones. It's the same everywhere. Young master can rest assured."
"It's not that expensive."
Ten yuan stones were equivalent to hundreds of thousands of supreme grade spirit stones. For Life and Death Kings, it was still acceptable, but for Sea of Soul realm experts, it was too expensive.
"Here."
Handing over ten yuan stones, Ye Chen put away the Star Shrinking Device.
"Excuse me, do you have any supreme grade sword forging books or books introducing supreme grade metals?" After solving the problem of the map, Ye Chen turned his attention to the Sword Forging Art. His Sword Forging Art had many flaws and was not perfect. In fact, the Sword Forging Art he had obtained in Gemstone Islands only touched upon a trace of supreme grade sword forging art. Being able to forge supreme grade swords was entirely due to Ye Chen's comprehension of sword dao and powerful perception. If it were another sword forging genius, it would be difficult to forge a pseudo supreme grade sword.
"Yes, but a lot. Moreover, the price is not cheap."
The shopkeeper said.
"I'll take as many as you have."
Ye Chen's expression became spirited.
Soon, the shopkeeper took out a small chest and opened it, revealing jade strips inside.
"Young master, these are all top-grade Sword Forging Technique jade strips. After pouring your Soul Energy into them, the Sword Forging Technique knowledge in the jade strips will enter your mind. After using it once, the jade strips will become useless!"
The function of jade strips was to prevent knowledge from leaking, just like profound sense martial skills.
"How much is one strip?"
"One yuan stone."
"Do you mind if I look through a few first? Don't worry, I'll pay for the ones I've looked through."
"No problem."
Taking out a jade strip, Ye Chen poured his soul power inside. "Supreme grade fire attribute Sword Forging Art …"
He took out another one. "Supreme grade earth attribute Sword Forging Art."
"Supreme grade water attribute Sword Forging Art."
"Supreme grade metal attribute Sword Forging Art."
"Supreme grade Chen Yang Sword Forging Art."
"Supreme grade Extreme Yin Sword Forging Art."
…
After reading through seven or eight jade scrolls in one breath, Ye Chen had a feeling of being enlightened. The sword forging knowledge inside was not very detailed. It was just the basics, and some parts were even unclear. If it were a normal top rank sword forger, they would be completely lost. However, Ye Chen's understanding of the sword dao had already reached an unimaginable level. Even the tiniest bit of extreme rank sword forging knowledge would be able to gradually improve him. Therefore, this extreme rank sword forging knowledge was undoubtedly a priceless treasure for him.
"Alright, I'll take them all."
"A total of twenty-four yuan stones."
The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles. To be honest, these top-grade Sword Forging Technique jade strips weren't some kind of secret that couldn't be passed on to others. They were merely the most basic knowledge. If one thought that buying a top-grade Sword Forging Technique jade strip would allow one to forge a top-grade treasured sword, that would be the ravings of a fool. It was like giving a peerless secret cultivation technique. Without the guidance of a master, one wouldn't know how to cultivate. Everything had to be supported by the details.
True supreme grade Sword Forging Art wasn't for sale. Those famous sword forging masters wouldn't pass down their secret Sword Forging Art to others. Even when they taught their disciples, they would only pass down a bit of it from time to time. Unless the disciple was their direct disciple, the majority of the disciples wouldn't be able to learn it.
Naturally, the shopkeeper was happy to sell a set of supreme grade Sword Forging Art.
"Gongzi, you've taken care of quite a lot of my business this time. I'll give you this set of books introducing metal materials!" The shopkeeper took out a huge box and placed it in front of Ye Chen.
"Supreme grade Metal Material Introduction."
"Supreme grade Metal Material Introduction."
"Supreme grade Metal Material Introduction."
…
Just like the supreme grade Sword Forging Art, the books on supreme grade Metal Material Introduction were categorized into different categories.
"Many thanks!"
Ye Chen accepted it without hesitation. Compared to the other items he had bought, these books weren't worth much. Otherwise, the shopkeeper wouldn't be so generous as to give him a set.
…
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Ye Chen had not only digested the knowledge of twenty-four supreme grade Sword Forging Art, but he had also finished reading all the books introducing metal materials.
"It's time to purchase some supreme grade Sword Forging Art."
Forging swords could strengthen Ye Chen's foundation. The reason why Ye Chen's Sword Dao could advance by leaps and bounds was due to the countless swords he had forged. There were many things that one could comprehend by analogy, and the same went for sword forging. After all, it wasn't easy to comprehend martial arts and profoundness.
…
By the end of the day, Ye Chen had purchased a large amount of supreme grade Sword Forging Art. Just the most common Star Iron alone cost Ye Chen tens of millions of jin. Of course, although it looked heavy, it was only the size of a small fake mountain. Supreme grade Sword Forging Art was extremely mysterious. Although it didn't look big, a piece of metal the size of a fist weighed thousands of jin. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to forge a supreme grade Sword Forging Art that could change its size at will.
"It's a pity that I don't have enough Primal Stones."
Ye Chen had spent more than half of the Primal Stones he had. Fortunately, the supreme grade Sword Forging Art was enough for him to forge hundreds of supreme grade Sword Forging Art. Even if they were all inferior supreme grade Sword Forging Art, they would still be worth two to three hundred thousand Primal Stones.
However, Ye Chen knew that this was only in theory. With Ye Chen's current experience of forging one supreme grade Sword Forging Art, it would be good if he had a ten percent success rate. If it was someone else, they probably wouldn't even have a one percent success rate.
No matter what they did, they would have to pay the tuition fee first. This was also the reason why there were very few solitary supreme grade Sword Forgers. Out of a hundred, there would only be one or two. Most of the supreme grade Sword Forgers had the support of super families and sects. Normal families and sects wouldn't have so many Primal Stones to spend.
The price of raising a supreme grade Sword Forger was very shocking. Without Primal Stones, even if you were a peerless genius, you would still have to stand aside. Correspondingly, on the Fire Bird Planet, those with supreme grade Sword Forging Art would have a very prestigious status, much higher than normal Kings. Many powerful Kings would fight to send gifts to them, begging them to forge supreme grade Sword Forging Art.
"Looks like I should sell the ten Demons Battleships. I can't use them anyway."
The Demons Battleships were very valuable, and it would be too wasteful to keep them. Once they were used, the upper echelons of the Demons might notice them.
"Maybe I can sell them to her."
Ye Chen thought of Lan Xiner.
