Chapter 322: Chapter 283: They Actually Sell This Thing?_2

The Three Thousand Deadly Array is quite expensive, requiring thirty million Divine Stones. Although it’s only a second-grade Divine Array, if you add in a thousand of the same low-grade Divine Artifacts, it would become a third-grade Divine Array.

If one adds three thousand low-grade Divine Artifacts, it can reach the peak strength of a third-grade Divine Array!

With my current cultivation, I’m already capable of activating a second-grade Divine Array, but this Three Thousand Deadly Array is somewhat extraordinary, I fear that after adding a thousand low-grade Divine Artifacts, I might also be able to activate it.

During his contemplation, the woman returned, leading an elderly man.

“Sir, this is Deacon Zhao, who has something to discuss with you,” the woman said very respectfully.

“I am Zhao Kang, greeting the Demon-suppressing Envoy, Sir!” The elder bowed respectfully.

The position of a deacon in the Kongqian Commerce Association is not a minor one, each responsible for different duties, ranking within the middle levels.

“There’s no need for formality. What brings you to me, Deacon Zhao?” Li Cheng asked.

Deacon Zhao glanced subtly at the Demon Suppression Order at Li Cheng’s waist, a faint surprise flickering in his eyes, and he smiled, “Demon-suppressing Envoy, Sir, the Chairman invites your presence!”

The Chairman?

Li Cheng was somewhat surprised. Could it be that selling too many Divine Artifacts had alarmed the Chairman?

No, that can’t be it!

It must be the uniformity of those Divine Artifacts that has piqued the Chairman’s interest.

Hearing that the Chairman was a member of the royal family, how could he refuse to see him?

“Please,” Li Cheng said, making a welcoming gesture without elaboration.

Deacon Zhao led the way, and soon, the two of them reached the seventh floor.

In a reception room, His Highness the Sixth Prince, with his distinguished and handsome appearance, was examining a thousand Divine Swords suspended before him, eyes filled with astonishment.

“Your Highness, the Demon-suppressing Envoy Li has arrived!” Deacon Zhao announced.

The Sixth Prince turned toward the door, his face breaking into a warm smile as he spoke out loud, “Demon-suppressing Envoy Li Cheng of the One Star Rank, I didn’t expect the Demon-suppressing Department to have such a skilled Artifact Refining Divine Master. Please come in!”

On the way here, Deacon Zhao had already informed Li Cheng that the Chairman was the current Sixth Prince.

“Greetings to Your Highness the Sixth Prince!” Li Cheng bowed, neither humble nor arrogant.

The Sixth Prince nodded, his handsome face still bearing a smile, “Within the Demon Suppressing Department, no one knows of your startling Artifact Refining Technique, do they?”

On hearing this, Li Cheng understood that he had been to the Demon-suppressing Department.

“Your Highness flatters me!” Li Cheng responded, bowing his hands, unprepared to elaborate.

The Sixth Prince pointed to the thousand longswords and said straightforwardly, “Let’s get to the point. I would like you to refine three thousand of the same Divine Artifacts. Low-grade is acceptable, mid-grade even better. Are you confident you can craft them?”

Three thousand?

Could it be for the sake of the Three Thousand Deadly Array?

That’s not right; even at its best, the Three Thousand Deadly Array can only reach the peak of a third-grade Divine Array, which for someone of the Sixth Prince’s cultivation level, would not offer the slightest advantage.

Regardless of what the Sixth Prince wants them for, Li Cheng himself was already preparing to refine three thousand of the same Divine Artifacts – he could simply make six thousand instead.

As for the confidence, he naturally had it.

With that thought, Li Cheng bowed his hands and said, “Three thousand low-grade should be no problem. As for mid-grade, I am planning to try but I cannot guarantee it to His Highness.”

A single mid-grade, of course, would not be an issue, but to mass-produce so many, Li Cheng truly couldn’t say for certain.

The Sixth Prince laughed; in truth, he had already obtained the thousand low-grade Divine Swords he needed, but given that a thousand identical low-grade Divine Artifacts had appeared, there was a tremendous possibility of producing three thousand. Therefore, he sought Li Cheng.

At this moment, he saw that Li Cheng would not disappoint him.

Deacon Zhao quickly took out a storage ring, “Demon-suppressing Envoy Sir, please take a look.”

Li Cheng examined it, then somewhat surprisedly looked at the Sixth Prince, who smiled back, “I consulted with the Association’s Artifact Refiners, and this is a commonly used material combination for crafting mid-grade Divine Artifacts. Without considering the success rate, it could craft ten thousand.”

“To craft mid-grade Divine Artifacts, the success rate is typically around thirty percent, which is why the Association has prepared materials for ten thousand units. If you can craft three thousand identical pieces, whether low-grade or mid-grade, the artifacts belong to the Association, and they will pay you thirty million as compensation.”

“Should you produce more than three thousand, the Association will only take three thousand, and the payment of thirty million will still be given in full.”

This was a lucrative opportunity.

Normally, an Artifact Refiner needs to prepare two batches of materials plus a fee, but the Association prepared more than three batches and did not skimp on the compensation – of course, I’ll take it!

As long as he succeeded, he would net seven thousand Divine Artifacts and thirty million Divine Stones.

Compared to that, what were the ten million plus he had previously earned?

Li Cheng did not hesitate and said with a bow, “I will do my best. However, could the Star Sand used here be replaced with Haoran Stone?”

Star Sand was too expensive, and too difficult to refine. It was estimated that he would need to spend quite some days to refine the materials; it was mainly used to enhance the sharpness of Divine Artifacts, which was really unnecessary.

By choosing Haoran Stone, the cost was greatly reduced, and the final product was barely different. Moreover, the Divine Artifacts refined would contain Haoran Air, which had a stronger inhibitory effect on the Demon Race and other Evil Cultivators.

“Of course, you make the call.”

Deacon Zhao led Li Cheng away. The Sixth Prince looked towards a corner of the room, where an old man slowly became visible.

“He is an Ascender. It seems that he has comprehended a considerable amount of the Rule of Fire, and he must have been a top-notch Artifact Refining Master in the Lower World,” the old man said.

The Sixth Prince nodded, “His speed of refining artifacts is astonishingly fast. He refined two thousand Divine Artifacts in less than two days, countless times faster than you, right? Can you guess why?”

The old man nodded, “If one has reached an extremely high level of comprehension of the Artifact Way, refining artifacts becomes as easy as lifting a finger. However, his Cultivation is very low. There is only one possibility I can think of, and that is Enlightenment!”

“My lord, I shall take my leave now. He decided to replace the Star Sand with Haoran Stone, and I would like to try that as well,” the old man added.

A warm smile appeared on the Sixth Prince’s face.

In Mysterious Character 72nd Box, Li Cheng was not in a hurry to start refining artifacts. With the ten thousand portions of materials provided by the Sixth Prince, he could return the ones he had purchased himself.

And exchanged them for four hundred portions of Heaven God Pill materials.

Deacon Zhao asked with a surprised face, “Is Demon-suppressing Envoy also a Divine Master of Alchemy Dao?”

Heaven God Pills were used to elevate the cultivation of Heaven Gods. Li Cheng had suddenly acquired four hundred portions of materials, which certainly meant they were for Alchemy to increase his Cultivation!

“Slightly,” Li Cheng replied.

He couldn’t hide the fact that he knew three Pill Artifact Arrays, and there was no need to hide his ignorance. It was better to just go with the flow.

Before long, the materials were ready, and Li Cheng entered the secret chamber.

This time, the Refining Materials used were all second-grade Divine Materials. Refining them was considerably more difficult. Even with the help of his Domain, it took him half a month to completely finish refining them.

What followed was simple. Divine Sense controlled the molten state of the refined materials to coalesce into longswords, and then Seals were continuously imprinted to help birth Divine Patterns. In less than three days, ten thousand longswords had been completely refined.

This process had almost exhausted Li Cheng’s Divine Power, but the results were quite evident. Each longsword had formed ninety thousand Divine Patterns, all identical.

By normal pricing, each was worth ninety thousand Divine Stones, leaving himself with seven thousand longswords valued at six hundred and thirty million!

Of these seven thousand, Li Cheng planned to sell four thousand and use three thousand to set up the Three Thousand Deadly Array.

After recovering for several days, Li Cheng continued with Alchemy.

Without a Pill Tripod, Li Cheng planned to refine directly using his Domain as a tripod, just like with Artifact Refining.

In just one day, the four hundred portions of Divine Materials had been batch-refined successfully. The pills formed were exactly as Li Cheng had expected, totaling four thousand eight hundred.

Among them, there were forty King Grade Heaven God Pills, and the rest were all of premium quality!

Four thousand seven hundred and sixty premium pills, with each Premium Heaven God Pill selling for two hundred thousand, amounted to nine hundred fifty million!

“Indeed, Alchemy yields more profit…”

Li Cheng mused internally. When he first arrived in the Divine Realm, just a few Divine Stones stirred excitement, and now, in such a short period, the figures involved were counted in billions.

These Divine Pills, Li Cheng did not plan to sell. He intended to use them first to increase his Cultivation.

Within the God Realm, each advancement in Realm required a vast amount of Divine Power. Even those forty King Grade Heaven God Pills would likely only allow him to reach the late stage of the Heaven God State at most, and probably would not even be enough.

Upon leaving the secret chamber, he saw Deacon Zhao still waiting there. When Zhao saw Li Cheng, he hurriedly stood up, “Have they been refined?”

Li Cheng took out a storage ring, “Three thousand are for the Sixth Prince, and please exchange the other four thousand for some Array Diagrams!”

Deacon Zhao took a quick look and his eyes widened, trembling slightly as he held the storage ring.

Li Cheng paid him no mind and started selecting from the light screen, picking some Formations before he could head back.

After selecting the Formations, Deacon Zhao looked hesitant to speak and eventually didn’t say much, hurrying off to get things done.

He wanted to ask about the Heaven God Pills. After all, Li Cheng had refined such a large quantity of mid-grade Divine Artifacts so quickly, he probably had already finished refining the Heaven God Pills. But with his status, he felt it was not his place to ask about it.

Li Cheng continued browsing the light screen when suddenly, something caught his eye, “Do they actually have this for sale?”
