The effect brought by the third-echelon masterpiece, Clear Abyss, did not immediately disappear. On the contrary, ten rich people whose wealth exceeded one hundred million appeared on the Rich Rank. Their wealth had suddenly increased from thirty million to more than one hundred million, and many people connected it to Clear Abyss, which was priced at ninety-nine million and nine hundred and ninety-nine million taels of silver.
Needless to say …
Many people were waiting for the miracle of the third-echelon Clear Abyss to reappear!
Unfortunately for them.
The sword surrounded by three colors and shining brilliantly did not appear in the commission shop again!
However, the sign of the third-echelon Clear Abyss stirring up billionaires still reminded countless merchants of the astonishing profits hidden in the refinement system!
A normal grade two masterpiece was worth no more than one million taels of silver, but after three refinements, it reached the sky high price of one hundred million taels of silver, which would make people gasp in amazement. The profits increased by dozens of times, and it had to be said that it was something that could drive people mad.
The situation in the world of martial artists surged!
Countless people cast their gazes on the refinement system and ironsmiths.
"Large-scale sects are recruiting ironsmiths who are above Skilled Realm. Those who are interested, please contact —"
"Three thousand taels of silver for Beauty Melting Liquid, twenty thousand taels of silver for Golden Jade Liquid, two hundred thousand taels of silver for Jade Solidifying Powder."
"Recruiting apothecaries who are above grade five!"
A lot of shouts that were usually not heard appeared in the market. They rose and fell, and most of them were from sects.
"Looking to buy 'Stone of Water'! Prices are negotiable! "
"Buying Unakite Crystals! If you want them, bring the price! If you're black, don't bother me!"
"Buying all sorts of high-grade metal ores!"
Baokang County was the same. The miners and ironsmiths who usually appeared in the ironsmiths that no one paid much attention to would be asked about their levels and qi realms every few steps they took, especially the ironsmiths who had goods on them. They were so arrogant that they acted as if they were bosses. Wherever they went, people would follow behind them, and there was no lack of sect masters among them.
"Do you have enough materials to increase the echelon?"
"Let's go!"
"Get to the second echelon!"
Happy and Thunderous Battle led a group of Beautiful Robes Faction miners through the streets in a hurry. They often heard conversations about increasing the echelon.
Happy could only be speechless toward the people who were blinded by profit.
Thunderous Battle frowned. "These people … their echelons aren't that easy to increase. If they're lucky, it'll be fine, but if they break, they'll lose all of their weapons and materials. Even the lowest echelon will cost them more than one million taels of silver."
"…"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Beautiful Robes Faction had actually tried to increase the echelon of their weapons before. The materials for first-echelon weapons were rather cheap, which was why they had tried quite a number of first-echelon weapons. Unfortunately for them, their success rate was very low, and the damage to their masterpieces was more than 50%. They only managed to refine a few weapons before Happy, who learned of the news, called them to stop.
At that time, no one would casually attempt to break through!
Most of the sects were dazed by the astronomical price of the third-echelon Clear Abyss, and they intended to try their luck, but the success rate of the third-echelon Clear Abyss was 30%, and the dangers during the early stages of the game made it certain that nine out of ten of them would fall into despair.
When he arrived at the city gate, more than forty petite and young girls appeared in front of him. Red Coral, whom he had met once before, stood together with another beauty who was rather level-headed. They sized him up with great interest.
He could already tell that the beauty beside Red Coral was the clan leader of Black Rose Clan, and the group of female players behind her were all members of Black Rose Clan.
"What a nice scenery."
Happy rubbed his nose and thought about it.
"We meet again, Happy."
Red Coral walked over with a coquettish smile. "Let me introduce you. This is the clan leader of Black Rose Clan, Big Sister Black Rose. We're all your fans."
"I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time!"
Black Rose looked at Happy and wrapped her fist in her palm to greet him with the heroic air of a wanderer.
"Same to you." Happy smiled and wrapped his fist in his palm. "I heard that your clan joined Mu Clan and changed the situation where Mu Clan has more men than women. Thank you for thinking so highly of us, big sisters."
"In truth, we're just taking what we need." Red Coral's expression became stern.
She did not dare to forget Happy's wild and domineering side when they were in the ancient tomb and his resolute actions during the battle at Common Reed Bank. With Happy's intelligence, there was no way for him to hide her thoughts, so it would be better for her to be honest with him from the start and tell him everything.
"Happy, in truth, Black Rose has been planning to build a sect. You know that more sects are seizing resources in a frenzy, and there are endless fights of all sizes. If we don't have enough strength and fame, we won't be able to protect our own interests. If we want to continue developing and becoming stronger, we will definitely choose to join a sect!"
Happy said nothing and nodded.
"It's a pity that we're a semi-professional gaming guild, and we're all girls. There are many things that are inconvenient for us, and we can't attract powerful players to join us. We don't want to join some normal sects and become their vassals either."
"Then why did you choose Mu Clan?! Compared to many sects, Mu Clan has just started, and we have no advantage at all. "Happy smiled and shrugged.
"I should say that I chose you."
Red Coral's gaze was firm, and she spoke bluntly.
"If you built a sect like a normal person and dominated it, Black Rose will definitely not join you recklessly. We don't want to be dragged into this. My big sister and I have to be responsible for our sisters. We don't want to fight all the time." She stopped talking for a moment, and a strange spark shone in Red Coral's eyes. "But you managed to get rid of Thunderous Battle and the two greatest problems in Baokang County Town in one day. Not only did you manage to integrate yourself into the chain of interests at the top of Baokang, you even improved the soil here! I can't think of anyone who can shake the alliance of the five sects within a short period of time. "
"Smart."
Happy smiled.
"So, you intend to develop quietly under Mu Clan's wings?"
"Yes." Red Coral stared at Happy with a slightly worried and pleading look. "Even though this answer isn't quite right, that's what I think. Don't worry, as repayment, over this period of time, all the resources my thirty or so sisters obtained will be given to the clan storage for free."
"For free?"
A thought appeared in Happy's head.
He cast a glance at the group of female players behind Red Coral. Their expressions were very serious, as if they had already discussed this before they came.
"That's right, for free. We have more than two hundred people in Black Rose Clan. These people are our sisters in the logistics department, and they are the ones with the highest cultivation realms in our clan. Consider this as repayment for us taking up Mu Clan's resources in Shennongjia."
"Alright!"
Happy nodded. As of then, the clan's demand for resources was still very great, because soon, they would officially enter the period where they would be able to increase their cultivation realms. To not be left behind in this wave, they had to accumulate enough resources.
Black Rose's sisters came at the right time!
