Shifeng shuddered involuntarily as he looked at the golden stone plate in his bag. ● Shush.
God's Domain was very large, and there were plenty of kingdoms and empires in it. Naturally, these kingdoms and empires would rise and fall.
Many of these kingdoms and empires had already disappeared in the long river of time.
Although these kingdoms and empires had been forgotten by people, there would always be some that left behind shocking treasures that no one knew about.
In God's Domain, these treasures were known as Heirlooms.
Heirlooms were divided into four ranks.
Kingdom Heirlooms were, as the name suggested, secret treasures left behind by past kingdoms in God's Domain. They were enough to make any first-rate Guild fight to the death over them. In the past, a Super Guild had even offered a city with a population of over a million in exchange for a Kingdom Heirloom.
As for Shadow in the past, although it had been a second-rate Guild with ten city-states under its control, it had not qualified to compete for a Kingdom Heirloom.
Heirlooms of a higher rank were known as Imperial Heirlooms.
Imperial Heirlooms. These Heirlooms were the secret treasures left behind by the past empires of God's Domain. The wealth of an ordinary empire could easily surpass that of three to five kingdoms combined.
In the past, there had been a small Guild called Thunder Family. In less than a year, the Guild had become a first-rate Guild in God's Domain, shocking the entire God's Domain.
That Guild did not have any experts or financial resources. In short, it did not have anything. Yet, it had still managed to become a first-rate Guild. How could it not be shocking? Afterward, after a thorough investigation, everyone finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that this small Guild called Thunder had coincidentally obtained an Imperial Heirloom. Through this Imperial Heirloom, the Guild had developed rapidly in secret. In less than a year, the Guild had finally become an overlord of God's Domain.
From then on, Heirlooms had entered the public eye. Countless wars had broken out in God's Domain, and countless Guilds had been annihilated because of Heirlooms …
Aside from Imperial Heirlooms, there were also Continental Heirlooms and World Heirlooms, which were one rank higher than Imperial Heirlooms. However, this information had only been mentioned in God's Domain's library. Only Shifeng knew about these Continental Heirlooms. None of these Continental Heirlooms had ever appeared before.
Now that Shifeng had an Imperial Heirloom in his bag, how could Shifeng not be excited?
Even the Shifeng, who had been reborn, had to plan meticulously. No one knew how much preparation they had to make and how many fortuitous encounters they had to encounter. Just how many experts would one need to nurture in order to establish a virtual empire? Meanwhile, an Imperial Heirloom could allow a small Guild to become a first-rate Guild in less than a year, establishing a true empire. It really was an Imperial Heirloom. It could make an empire rise.
As for what was hidden inside the Empire's Heirloom, the Shifeng had no idea. After the incident in his previous life, everyone who obtained the Empire's Heirloom had sealed off the information.
In this life, the Shifeng naturally would not leak this information, so he suppressed his excitement and prepared to find a place where there was no one around to slowly research the Empire's heirloom.
After Shifeng finished organizing his bag, he quietly ran to the Starstreak Trading Firm's fourth-floor forging room.
At this moment, the Starstreak Trading Firm had already become the number one trading firm in White River City. The Starstreak Trading Firm had an incomparable variety of items. As long as it was something that current players could produce, the Starstreak Trading Firm would sell it. The Starstreak Trading Firm sold everything. As long as one visited the Starstreak Trading Firm, they would not need to go anywhere else. The trading firm's business was exceptionally good every day, and they made a lot of money every day. Countless large Guilds had come to cooperate with the Starstreak Trading Firm. However, they were all rejected by the Trading Firm's manager, Anna.
Hence, Shifeng randomly found an empty forging room.
"I want to see just what secrets the Empire's Heirloom holds." Shifeng carefully took out the Empire's Heirloom and placed it on the stone table.
Aside from the name "Empire's Heirloom," there was no other information about the golden stone tablet. Meanwhile, Shifeng had no idea how to use the Empire's Heirloom. He could only slowly explore it himself.
Many patterns and magic runes were engraved on the stone tablet. However, Shifeng could not understand a single one of the patterns.
After spending over half an hour, Shifeng still could not find any clues, no matter what methods he used.
The mountain of gold and silver were clearly inside. Yet, he did not have the key to open it. He could only look at it with his eyes.
"Why was the Thunder Guild able to discover the secret of the Empire's Heirloom back then? Why can't I?" Shifeng toyed with the golden stone tablet in his hands helplessly. "Could there be other secrets to the Empire's Heirloom?"
However, after giving it some thought, Shi Feng found it reasonable.
How could a huge treasure that could allow an empire to rise to prominence be so easily obtained by players? If it was considered a quest … If it was a quest, then the difficulty of this quest was at least Legendary rank.
A Legendary Quest was not something players could easily complete. Even now, Shi Feng still had a headache over Epic Quests, not to mention Legendary Quests.
"I can only set it aside for now. Who knows, I might come across some clues in the future." Shifeng was very open-minded.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. Now that he had the Empire's Heirloom in his hands, he could ask around for more information in the future. There was bound to be a solution.
After storing the Empire's Heirloom, Shifeng piled a large amount of Starfire Ore on the ground.
During this time, he had collected over 20,000 pieces of Starfire Ore. If he sold each piece for 1 Silver, he could fetch over 200 Gold Coins. However, Shifeng wanted to turn them into Starfire Essence.
Originally, refining Starfire Ore required an Alchemist to spend money to refine it. Each refinement cost 1 Silver Coin. Moreover, there was no guarantee that Starfire Essence would drop. However, there was a high chance that one of two pieces would drop. Hence, each piece of Starfire Essence sold for 4 Silver Coins.
However, Shifeng did not need it.
With the Philosopher's Stone in hand, Shi Feng was stronger than any Alchemist. Moreover, he did not need to spend money to refine Starfire Essence. His chances of producing Starfire Essence would also be higher than those of NPC Master Alchemists.
Following which, Shifeng began to refine the Starfire Ore.
One piece … Two pieces …
The Philosopher's Stone's refining speed was very fast. After a short moment, Shi Feng had refined over a hundred pieces of Starfire Ore, obtaining 83 Starfire Essence.
[Starfire Essence] (Consumable) Adding some during forging can increase success rate. In addition, the more Starfire Essence you add, the higher your success rate.
"Sure enough, the refining rate is quite good." Shifeng felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction as he looked at the bright red gemstone on the stone table.
As expected of the Philosopher's Stone, Shi Feng had saved over 200 Gold Coins just by refining these Starfire Ores.
Time passed little by little.
Without realizing it, Shifeng had spent over seven hours refining all of the Starfire Ore. In total, they had obtained over 18,000 Starfire Essence. If converted to Gold Coins, that was 720 Gold Coins.
In just seven hours, Shi Feng had more than tripled the 200-plus Gold he had spent …
"I can finally start forging now." Although Shifeng had worked continuously for seven hours, he did not feel tired or bored. On the contrary, he grew increasingly excited. Just the thought of producing a large number of Dragonscale Set Equipment for his Guild members to equip and walk around the city with uniform equipment would make every player in White River City jealous.
